i also heard it comes with free song every week,(i dont thin we have google music anyway), goin to install it and lets see how it is

clear gallery cache from task manager, it should solve your problem

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

As it seems to be a post processing thing i cant capture it via screencapture, set the screen brightness above 75% and try adjusting the sharpness, it surely adjusts the sharpness of the text displayed, with more sharpness much crisper the texts are.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's cool. Yet to find the official changelogs though.

Above 75% brightness? Hm, alright, I'll try to play with sharpness and post back if I found any difference, but when you said there is, there is, I just have to see it y myself :)

How to add custom/new Alert/Notification tones??

Hi there!

Is there a way to permanently add Alert/Notification Tones on SGS 2? I tried using an app called Ringtone Feeder but its tones do not stay after reboot. Any way to add custom alert/notification tones?

I have no trouble in adding Ringtones, the problem is only there in adding new/custom Alert/Notification tones. Is there any app which makes the sms/alert tones stay on even after rebooting?

I am on Stock XWKK2

No one was sure what it was for, our WiFi works normally without it. Maybe it is for WiFi Direct? I can only speculate. I freezed it in Titanium Backup about 3-4 days after I got the phone, and deleted it about a month back. Never had any WiFi trouble...

Your guess is as good as mine :)

Got the phone today :)!!! Its 'widely' available in Delhi now. Almost every shop has it!!!!

Anyways, this is my first android phone....and am absolutely loving it!!!

I had a few questions:

1) Is navigation not available in India??? When i try to use the navigation app, it says 'Not supported for the location'.

2) Where is the setting for 'Smile' detection in the camera??? I went through the whole settings menu for the camera, but couldnt find the smile detection setting on it :(!
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Anyone willing to dis-mantle their SGS-II and find the mysterious chip? :p
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Congrats. Please tell at what Price you've purchased it and also do you see any Yellowish spot at the left side of the screen?
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Hi...I tried the lcd test (*#0*#...something like that) but didnt notice the yellow thing :)! No dead pixels as well :)! Frankly i wasnt looking too hard for the yellow spot, but i have been using this phone continuously since i got it...and trust me, haven been able to notice anything wrong with the screen. So even if the yellow spot might be there...i haven been able to notice it at all in regular use!

Also, the issues like device heating up etc are there, but to be honest, its nothing bad at all, and does not seem like an issue to me at all. Every single smartphone get this hot when used like we have been using S2, so its nothing new and trust me its not that uncomfortable!!

This phone does 'everything' so damn well!!! You wanna call...it does it well, you wanna use gps...its awesome, you wanna watch movie...awesome, you wanna use the internet....trust me this phone is a beast for all internet applications!!!

In my previous phone, i could barely use 100mb of data in a month, but on this phone i used up 150mb within an hour lol....internet browsing, app downloadin everything is so damn smooth on it!!!!!

And yeah...the price i got it for is Rs. 30200!! I know its higher than what others are gettin it for, but tht spice guy first asked for 30500, came down to 30200...and i just couldnt wait any longer, so want for it even though it seems like i overpaid by 200-300 bucks, which was acceptable for me to be able to get this phone asap :_)!!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Thanks a lot for the reply. Enjoy the Phone mate.
[Galaxy S II General] vkrtandra:
A quick question for those folks who already got their S2. How many pins are there in the Travel Adapter micro-USB port?

I have checked mine and found only 4-pins. But the standard USB cable shipped with S2 has 5-pins. Is this correct since S2 packs a MHL port and this is how they differentiate between charging/data/video?
[Galaxy S II General] umermajeed:
I am located in Canada and one of my friends from Delhi is flying over on the 15th. I was thinking of getting him to bring me an S2...So I have a few questions for people who got this phone in Delhi..

Where in Delhi should I tell him to grab it from? Whats the best price available right now? Are any of the shops offering it with accessories like letsbuy.com i am really just interested in the hdmi adapter...

If not, you just have to go and sit on their head, till they activate. If they do not respond, their twitter page is really helpful. Post on there and sure somebody will call to resolve the problem.

Hi Good Morning

As i have already updated to XXKG6, i want to stay with it for few days and after that i will go back to stock kernel.

Regarding custom ROMS, as per my knowledge installing custom ROMs need the device to be rooted? (Correct me if i am wrong) because i dont want to root my device right now. Are there any custom ROMS which does not need the root.

Thanks in Advance

I tried connecting to Kies and dont get any update. I am already on KF3. Is this newer than KF3?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Custom ROM's don't need root, however there are some custom ROM's which will automatically root your device if you install them.

We were talking about Kies update, not firmware update. KF3 still is the latest available. But 2.3.4 will be available very soon I believe.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I will ask them on twitter
[Galaxy S II General] eswar6280:
Yep :p...i just suggested to download through different web browser instead of downloading with IE as default by many users ...and more over it is possible to download the setup file from samsung india website itself ...i hope when kies fails this would be a better plan to get latest version of kies ...

Unavailable Galaxy S2 Features?

Guys,

The samsung india website lists a lot of features for galaxy s 2 which i dont see on my phone. Is it true for everyone? I'm on KF3 firmware.

I have ordered the case.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Well well,,,,after seeing ur reply,,just out of sheer curiosity i tried to mimic ur situation,,,,,I inserted my Reliance sim(i hate it) into my sgs2,,,,which has a GPRS data plan,,,,and i tried connecting it to my laptop in wi-fi hotspot mode,,,,and IT WAS WORKING,,,,,moving further i tried connecting it to my other phone(Samsung Jet--I love that device still),,,IT WAS STILL WORKING.....

So as per my observation ,,,either u have some problem with ur laptop(which is not the case here,since it is connecting to ur other phone),,,or unfortunately there is something wrong with ur handset.....

Well it may not be the case,,,,there may be some problem with ur data connection too,,,so try it once more with the other sim(from ur other phone) on ur sgs2....

Hope this helps...

Godspeed.
