Try moving to a village or small town, Netconnect works on 2MBps where user density is low. I used to get 40kbps in Pune city but on highway or in small town the speed was super awesome :D

I deactivated that reliance connection, ofcourse after settling the bill for half the monthly charges :D

bsnl EVDO sucks. Bought it 1.5yrs ago, never got any speed anywhere. It wasted my 2500+Rs ....
[Galaxy S II General] androidni3:
I will try it now! thanx, kachru.
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:

I have lived in 3 cities and always got over 1Mbps with BSNL evdo. It depends on your area, coverage and traffic.

@mr. Raviteja is it possible in India to provide unlimited data plan..!! I think government has not yet allowed Indian internet and mobile companies to offer unlimited data plans in India.. I think the plan you are talking about must have some limit or capping of speed after some GBs. Otherwise thanks for sharing such good info..

Welcome!

When you add your gmail account from settings>accounts and sync and sync the contacts you will have all your contacts through gmail.

The easiest way to transfer contacts from your old mobile is I feel by Bluetooth. Try and see if kies supports CSV files for contacts import.

However, you can import the VCF files directly from your external SD card.

Yes its quite normal. Especially when your are charging the phone and using it while charging. Also playing high end games tend to make the phone heat up. Just make sure you don't exceed the temperature above 50° C. This happens as android/apps not good in handling the dual core cpus. See if you are in latest android version that is 2.3.6, as its more optimized.

To connect to wifi network, go to settings>wireless network>wifi settings>tick on wifi>let it scan and select the required network to connect.

Alternatively, you can drag down the notification and tap on wifi toggle icon.

Yup that's all you get. Just a small booklet, if you want to download the manual, then get it from here: www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-...INU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

Not necessary. I think its a mis conception from years together to charge the device like full+6 hours or so more. Just a complete 2 cycle to full charge will do. I would like to ask others to backup my view here :)

All right then! Don't forget to ask for anymore doubts!
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Sometimes I feel like.....Wish there is someone who have Note and want SII so I can give my SII and get note from him....When ever I see Note ad I want to buy it but can't reason:Brought SII or Sell this mobile to a person who want I9100(not G) without problems for 31/2k (with HDMI cable,MHL adapter,Case,Mirror Screen Guard)...and than again I feel like I have one of the best mobiles so no need Note
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I don't see any reason for getting a note

I myself choosed s2 in between note and s2

Its the same processor,gpu,camera,etc(whole hardware is same)

The only thing better in it is the HD display...

But the huge screen is a dealbreaker!

So replacing primary phone with it is a bad idea

Its too big for a phone and too small for a tablet

S2 max selling price will be 25K no one in india care about G or non G

BTW u can't keep up with electronics,new technology comes everyday...

And note is that thing u can't call a mobile

U have the best mobile till now(CPU and GPU wise)...

Hey friends, need some urgent help here. a few hours ago, when I was transferring my data from sd card to pc in mtp mode, the cut-paste process started but stopped abruptly. All my videos all my college festival (which ended yesterday) got deleted. I tried to restore them using recuva and also using file scavenger, but I could recover only 78 pics and no videos, I don't care about the photos as I have those backed up in the cloud, but how can I atleast get all those video recordings back? I dont have any backups for them.

Thanks a lot mate! I transferred all my contacts by syncing in with Gmail within a minute! Also the manual on Samsung's website is quite good - They should have provided that with the box. Anyways thanks for giving me the link. I have another few questions:

1. The hardware button for going back - This is not behaving properly. I mean sometimes it does not recognize my touch and I have to press it 2-3 times to go back. Sometimes it registers my touch quite easily. Is something wrong? Do we need to callibrate it or something?

2. How do we take screenshots of our screen. I see that many users are posting screenshots of their mobile screen (battery usage etc). Please tell me how to do it.

3. I have GPRS activated on my phone and the phone is showing an E sign on the top even when I am not using any application? Is this ok or is there an application which is using data without me knowing? Also I read that you need to switch off 3G to extend battery life - I cant seem to find that option. From where to disable the phone searching for 3G signal? Sorry for such noob questions but this is my first Android hence such basic questions.

What is the difference between Vodafone Live and Vodafone Mobile Connect? I activated GPRS on my phone and got some messages on my phone regarding the setting - One for Browser, one for MMS etc. When I open the message there is an Install option (in SGS2). I click on it and it shows "Successfully Installed". Is there anything else I need to do to use GPRS? OR just installing is fine?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
well I guess they are under eco friendly mode for now :p

Some people have faced this issue. Including myself (although I feel I'm not tapping on the correct part as I have disabled the backlight permanently). You can try the technique in this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248405 See if that solves it. I haven't tried it though.

Edit: it looks like it doesn't do anything. But you can just try what is given in post one of that thread and nothing else. I tried now and there were no change.in value. Maybe updating to latest android version will fix it. You in 2

3.4 or 2.3.6?

The key combination is home+power button. It will be saved in sdcard/screen captures/

If you see E above it indicates that you are using the internet through 2G network (like wish H or H+ if using 3G network). Normally some applications may use the internet in background if its enabled - like gmail, twitter, Facebook or other apps that has access to internet. If you have limited plan you might as well aagide disable the data network when not required by long pressing power button and choosing 'data network mode'. It will help on having longer batter life.

You can try an app called '3G watchdog' or 'traffic monitor' or 'my data manager' to know which all apps have used the internet without your knowledge.

To toggle between 2G or 3G network go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile network>network mode. Here GSM is 2G, WCDMA is 3G. Choosing any one type of network will give extra battery life. 2G only gives more battery than 3G only. Where as auto mode will take away more battery.

Now see this for basic question and answers: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065995 and this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053751
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I'm sure one would be for GPRS and another for WAP. In other words, one of the settings will enable you to browse via browser, but market and other apps won't work. Where as the other setting will give full internet for both apps and browser. Try changing the access points and test yourself.

One more Q: I have Wifi in my office which I intend to use when I am in office (which is almost the entire day). So when I go to office, I will connect to Office's Wifi. After connecting when I open the Gmail app - Will it use Wifi or GPRS for getting my mails? I want the phone to give Wifi priority over GPRS.

Also one thing: Currently I have disabled Background data option (In Accounts and Sync). Do I need to enable this option to check Gmail on GPRS?

Let me make myself more clear: When I am in office I just want the phone to use office's Wifi for Gmail, Whatspp etc. WHen I am outside office, I wont be keeping the Gmail app on all the time - I will just open in once or twice and when I do that, I want the mobile to use GPRS - In order to use GPRS, what all do I need to do? Do I enable Background data option, check my mails and then disable it again?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Wifi is always an priority over gprs in android. So if you are connected to wifi and even if there is no internet working in it, android will not enable the data network. So if wifi connected, data network will be auto off. As soon as wifi gets disconnected the data network activates (if data network is enabled in settings). So you need not worry about your data network when ever you in office.

Regarding background data option- I don't recommend to disabling that. If you do that then, none of the apps with account settings can use the internet while in background. like even when downloading from market, you need to enable background data. So it will be like extra work evetytime you want to download or check mails.

But auto sync can be disabled as that is proven to avoided battery drain. What auto sync does is enabling the push mail feature. You need not check for new mails evetytime. Just like messages, you will be notified of new mails.

So if you want push mail and sacrifice a bit of battery enable auto sync. Most of them here including myself have disabled it as I will check them manually once in a hour or two.

I would like someone else to explain more about background data lol as I'm not sure about its over all consequences. For now keep the only auto sync disabled and check manually. Or just try for few days with enabling the same and effect on battery life. Enable the data network only when necessary.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
While using Wifi, untick data enable under network setting. when you use wifi set your network mode to gsm, it will less consume your battery.

No need to enable background data for using gprs. Also you can manually refresh your mail in the app itself.

Background data consume more power to fetch your mails, facebook update etc.

Only you want to download something from market you need to enable background data
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
So only market app will have issues when disabling the background data? Other words, you are forced to re enable the background data for to download from marker right?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Dudes out here..i have read around 5 threads about the latest leak..LPB..or whatever...Only find workarounds fo issues..My question is anybody who has used it..Can it be used for daily use.Dont like GB anymore..

PS- Last time i tried LP2.It was ****!! Had to come back to GB under 10 minute :p
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Absolutely right, No other apps needed it. It really consume lot of power!!

I have been using it for last few days. Believe me it is quite good. Can be used .
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

Man I'm already in half mind to jump to ICS with people telling the LPB is good for daily use. Just twitching my hands..!
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I am using it from last 2 days. Battery really Improved.

No lag I found also no reboot. touchscreen is also feel smooth.

Yes there is some issues like 'process stopped' in setting, but it is not that big.

Every thing is workingfor me so I will live with LPB having minor problems:)

LPB is awesum. I still have few issues with touch sensitivity and wallpaper changing for lock screen.

Proximity sensor is allso having issues during taking up a call.

Rest all is good.

Battery is as stable as any GB rom and good call quality too.

Def will recommend for daily use :)

Reg Issues i am facing

Changed home screen wallpaper using quikpic but cant change lockscreen wallpaper. If any one has any solution please let me know.

and abt touch sensitivity- am i the only one feeling the touch sensitivity is not good as GB roms???

I guess you haven't tried any ICS leak yet. Flash LPB and install Nova or Apex launcher to experience real ICS feel:D

[Galaxy S II General] saanil:
Ok so here is what I understand: When you are on Wifi all the data will be through Wifi irrespective whether you have GPRS enabled or disabled. Correct?

In Setting>Accounts and Sync..there are two options...one is of Background data and one is of Auto Sync. I think we need to enable the background data one while keeping the autosync disabled. Also to use GPRS you need to go to Wifi settings>Network>Enable Network data to use GPRS when not on WIfi. So inorder to browse on Internet and download apps from Market (when not on WIfi) one needs to enable Network data and enable Background data (you can keep autosync off) - Correct?
