This thing worked for me in Kolkata but speeds got capped after 15days of use.( I made a mistake of contacting customer care for some other reason and I guess I got their attention) But it kept working on my Dad's sim for the whole time we were in Kolkata.

And as I have moved to hyderabad now, I just activated 3G on my Airtel while I already had 700 mb left from my 2G pack. And HOLYCOW!!! IT WORKS. :D Getting over 4 Mbps (i.e 500+ kBps) speed whiile my 2G pack is used up. ;)

Shhhh.. xD

Just tried the last cm7 build for our s2 with an idea of keeping it for a while... oh couldnt have it for more than hour, poor audio reproduction,image quality,random FC but so smooth. back to nandroid backup

Edit:

Eventhough we miss the pure android experience from samsung, its better to stick with sammys parts its much better it seems. Only google devices can provide pure aosp experience
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
If you want pure aosp then there's a row which has aosp files and not compromising sammys cam and other stuff. Check android development forums
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Yep I'm moving to karnataka for a couple of months and I wanted to know if I can do this for Internet solution
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Exactly nothing works d way i want on cm7..have you seen the disgusting pictures the camera reproduces?wen i was new to custom Roms i thought they improve the experience over sammy Rom..but i guess that's not the case alway..:-(
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
I was in the same shoe of yours in the past few weeks. I love CM7 but after looking at the quality of the photos that camera produces, I reverted. The fact that degrading the quality of the camera makes me feel that I've got an inferior phone in my hands. And if you want a pure AOSP experince, there's a Rom in development which has got all AOSP features without loosing the Sammys camera.

I've gotta admit, Sammy did a wonderful job for SGS-II camera. The best part is where it best utilizes the sony's sensors, that's how the pics look so damn good :D

May be for ICS, I could have a look at CM9 but IMHO, there are lot of modifications done for sammy's rom to make it work like how we do on CM7. It's just a matter of choice i guess :D

[Galaxy S II General] abeeshek:

even i like samy base roms too.

but,recently i have flashed MIUI...so far everything is lookin good i am prty happy with the customization it offers...i hope it stays that way ;) !!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Good to see some users yet to be fully freaked out.

That is the experience with last build, I've tried the one which said to be the first Stable build, so imagine how it was.

Well no offense to Devs, they do their work for their own knowledge and fun, entertainment or whatever but not as professionals, well let them do their work, cool, but I never ever understood why on earth would all the freaks are so crazy about them and just always find an opportunity to bash Samsung ROM's, yet they purchased a Samsung on the first place. I highly doubt how many users actually

use

their phone!

Being idiot is a different but deliberately blind and biased is nonsense.

That's why I am NOT crazy and interested about CM 9, which seems to be more popular than Indian cricket team now!

Don't know after 10-20 years from now what level will HYPE achieve.

BTW- Has anyone tried this app called GPS Status? It has a great UI and shows all the useful information's regarding Satellites, Bearing, Last fix and the best part is you can download A-GPS data with it, which might help to lock the GPS faster than normal.

GPS lovers and users please try it and post your feedback's here. If you know a better one please share here also.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I'm already using it since 5 days,its very good app
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ithehappy

You are right. Too much hype for cm9. I have always fancied cm7 from the day I heard about it, but whenever I gave it a go it doesn't satisfies the expectations (for me) . I'd be really happy if cm9 fills that void

Oh wow!! He has ICS launcher in it. Awesome. But is he using the Samsung builds leaks or....?
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
@harsh raj.. He continued with leaked alpha 9 and he is very good, and he doesn't have any ego problem like other developers had with cm9/aosp team(no offense to anyone). And I posted his twitter link some posts ago and follow him, he is posting updates about his work there in real time...

Edit: just noticed that bala_gamer has also posted twitter link.. Follow him.. And do watch his video on youtube and subscribe him as according to him he gets some revenue from it due to ads and stuff.. So he can get lovely pure ics ports to our sgs2..
[Galaxy S II General] KaranKapoor:
Yeah but AFAIK, the Mic still doesn't work. Can't use the phone as a phone. So, not much different from what Codeworkx had.

PS - Codeworkx did manage to fix the Mic though. I hope he can do the same.

@iHoneyBadger yah he doesn't have mic working yet.. But atleast he shared his work and gives us real time updates and keep us updated..
[Galaxy S II General] KaranKapoor:
Which according to me is one of the most important things! I just hope he can get the Mic working soon. 'Cause without it, a thread on XDA might spell a disaster for him.

Great GPS trick. Lock in a minute in Indoor!

Just read this post,

• http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239713

If you are lazy to read then please do these simple steps,

1- Download the

gps.conf

file I have attached. I've edited it as needed. Just unzip it.

2- Copy it to your SD Card and then move and replace it to path /etc/gps.conf. (An automatic .bak file backup will be automatically created)

3- Make sure the permission of the file is

rw-r--r--

(see attached screen shot)

4- Reboot your device.

4- Download GPS Status and Toolbox, i) Tools- Manage- A-GPS State- Reset.

ii) Tools- Manage- A-GPS State- Download.

5- Now go back to the main app screen. GPS fix should come within a minute or two max.

NOTE:

DO NOT USE Faster fix after this, as it will reset the config.

If it worked, the first thing you should do is go to the OP I've mentioned at top and give a Thanks to the user Xenova, AND post your feedback's here.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:

If you touch the phone where the Display: 29% is written, it'll open another window that would tell you for how long the display was on. Pictures would be lovely as we can see at a glance what all is running on your phone.

Also, if you touch the battery graph, another window will open with a bigger graph and things like "Awake" "wifi on" etc. Please post those images here and we can figure something out.

FYI, anywhere between 3 and 48 hours (or more) could be normal on this phone. Just need to figure out whether your battery usage is in line with your phone usage.

I had been on Litening Pro for quite some time. No issues. Safe to explore for Indian versions. Just follow instructions properly :)

Indeed, this seems OK - you have nothing unusual going on - just optimize a few things, maybe the data connection settings and some more stuff that ithehappy mentions.

Or you might want to switch to a custom ROM as they optimize a lot of stuff for you. Would suggest Litening Pro/Villain ROM for first time flashing.

3, where as in iphone i jailbroke to install 3rd party applications ...but here in android i can able to run cracked apps in custom Rom itself ... Then in what way it is unique to go for custom Rom...???

1st there r so many cool apps that needs a ROOTED phone like

2ndly. if u will search the forum u ll come to know that there r tons of mods for s2 and they r growing,u can use those mods only if ur android phone is rooted.

3rdly custom roms means modified stock roms.

by rooting ur phone u ll definetly loose ur warrenty becoz u have messed up with the copyrighted STOCK ROM which may effect ur hardware.
