Yes i have updated to 2.3.4 via Odin. :D

Samsung releases different firmwares for different regions with CSC specifically for them. Also generic firmwares are leaked/released (still disputed) to certain developers (like Cyanogen, Samfirmware). You may come across many firmwares some may be stable while some may not be recommended or beta. The deal is firmware released to some region of the world is an official where as leaked firmware which is not released are said to be in beta mode. Though some custom roms are based over them.

I'm not flashing illegal firmware. Warranty is valid till i root my phone for custom ROMs. Once that is done the counter for rooting/unrooting starts to tick within the phone(that again has a work around with a USB Jig). What i'm doing is flashing my phone with official firmware releases of samsung which donot require root. Make sure you flash with official releases go to intratech's thread for more details.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

However when you return your phone to Smasung Center for some hardware issues you need to reinstall the official ROM for that region. Since that is the only reason you'll need to send your phone back most of the S/W issues are handled here in the forum itself.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Okay gr8 info ...

However , the USB jig where can i find it in India .??

And which is the 2.3.4 FW that u've flashed ( which region ? )

Also , like an official UK FW for 2.3.4 , and the one which will be released for India sometime late this year , will they have any difference .??

I mean the samsung customization ( the whole touchwiz 4 ) etc would be the same on both know .?

Then why wait for an official Release ( for 2.3.4 ) for India , and instead flash with an official ( 2.3.4 ) for some other region .??

Kindly advice .... :confused:

Guys I need stock Internet Browser apk of LBP rom. Want to install in CM9, any help???
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
Confusion

When a GS2 is manufactured,it is given Factory Warranty for 2 years[Rounded to that quarter end].When u buy it u r given a Factory Warranty of one year from purchase.

Eg.:

If ur phone is not bought by u and it stays in the shop it's factory Warranty is worth till August,2013.Since u have bought it on July 2011 it's factory Warranty will be till July 2012.If u did not buy ur phone and somebody buys it on August 2013[:D:D:D:D Will it be possible?Our GS2 is now hotter than Katrina Kaif] then that guy will have no factory Warranty.

Correct me if i am wrong.

@Kachrukamble

Sorry to lose you too soon from this thread.Anyway have a nice time.May meet u in S3 thread.;););)

@Bala

U r correct.HD screen really looks gorgeous.

But my reason to upgrade will be definitely on this:

HD screen;Battery-minimum 3500 mAh;Optimised OS like Jelly Bean[As i have heard that ICS is NOT the deal breaker.It has a few eye-candy features,that's all]

All these will be expected in GS4.

So i will stick to Galaxy S2 till may,2013.[:D:D:D:D

S3 doesn't excite me. The only thing better is 4.65 hd but that is available in S2 (yeah not in india as of yet - gsmarena dot com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_hd_lte-4198.php)

touchwiz sucks big time and if s3 is anything like s2 then samsung wont release their drivers soon and we will be stuck like i am stuck for CM9. I really love CM and dont wanna jump to cm9 unless a stable CM9 is released and samsung (well within their rights - not denying that) wont release their driver source unless they come out with their ICS.

the customizations offered by CM7 makes me stop moving to XXLPB..... waiting badly for CM9 now.

even galaxy nexus would have been preferable but no to s3

i think my next phone would be a google galaxy nexus type (i hope they do it with samsung rather than with Motorola.......cos just love the display of sgs2 and the power is fantastic) .

hey i heard that lg has come up with a better screen than super amoled plus and they call it AH-IPS(blog.gsmarena dot com/lgs-yet-to-be-launched-4-5-ah-ips-mobile-display-scores-an-award-by-outclassing-samsung-galaxy-siis-super-amoled-unit/)........so unless sgs3 has something like super duper(ha ha) amoled plus HD...it wont be that exciting

p.s. replace dot with '.' for links...........eight more posts before i can add links..........
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ maxjaja

welcome to XDA,

s3 is more than that of HD screen.

to sum up with it will have improvement in all the departments. hope you know about it.

touchwiz is not that bad, but as said individual tastes differs. i wont care about touchwiz as long as samsung produces phone with best hardware.

cm9 is already stable enough for regular usage, used it for a week, switched back due to lack of video recording.

@ virtualsk

you are damn right, presence of a lovable one along with us is gr88 , but only a very few are that lucky :D
[Galaxy S II General] rak_ark:
Hey bala...when u say HD screen....do u mean galaxy nexus n note...I read somewhere that both screens use a pentile matrix n that it affects the crispness of text..just checking...

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
welcome to XDA, it took this long for you to make a post ??:p:p:p

yeah as you said both are pentile matrix and still gorgeous , but s3 wont have pentile matrix and will have rgb , that makes s3 double special regarding display.

cm9 alpha is quite good and can be used as a regular rom.
[Galaxy S II General] rak_ark:
Hahaha...like I said...u guys r such great help..I used to find answers without posting a question....

N whoa...rgb HD display!!!!....that'll be a thing of beauty...n yea currently using cm9...I must say...i do miss touchwiz....swype to call n stuff...tw has its own charm.

Also...Samsung won't be launching sgs3 at mobile world congress....I cannot wait to see wat they come up with!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] maxjaja:
thanks.....

not much - but know that it will be an ICS having a 4.65 min disp screen and may be 1.8 to 2.00 ghz dual core or quad core with fantastic graphics of Mali-T658 with probably Cortex-A9 Processor..........

not denying the fantastic hardware but my problem is it should come with an option for touchwiz or AOSP........aosp for those who prefer it.....

plus the quad core or 2.00 ghz wont be used unless google comes with jelly bean or its next version and then this hardware would become obsolete..... so again second thing of interest would be if they actually get Mali-T658 .its supposed to be 10 times better than sgs2 which is almost unbelievable cos i havent faced any lag or issues with s2 so far for display or games

Yes swype supports ICS. And btw, he was talking of swipe to call. Like, swipe left to call and right to message. That thing :p

theree are some dialers available in market but yes i too miss the one from samsung

agreed but if google comes with jelly bean - sgs2 will get it probably only via custom roms and samsung wont support it as they did for SGS1 with ICS.

older google phones will most probably get it within one month of JB release

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
mali t658 wont feature in s2 afaik and by the way ics has optimizations for multi core processors not limited to dual core processors, once the ics rom gets released officially it will be optimized as the time passes. Jelly bean will always be much better than ics thats what the upgrade of software is all about. Like you said s2 wont lag in any department atleast for one more year, but there are always going to be new hardware with better specs and better displays that draws attraction.

you are right about the note,note would render less frames when compared to s2 as it has bigger resolution.

OT: bought the Note,

first impression, Its BIG. But manageable, and fits in the both pockets.

display is just gorgeous even brightness level at zero

The best Mobile browser I ever used.

S pen is a little extra fun. No plan for rooting till some time.

What I can say is I am not missing SII, but will miss this thread.

one more thing Htc evo has extra reverse tethering option:eek: PC to phone

PPI comparison GSII: 480 x 800 pixels, 4.3 inches (~217 ppi pixel density) Note:800 x 1280 pixels, 5.3 inches (~285 ppi pixel density)
