DATA connection??? u mean u r not on 3g??? if so,there is hardly any chance that wi-fi hotspot ll work,,,GPRS is too slow for this,,,

Some speed is lost when u connect to the guest device,even while u r on 3g,,,but on 2g/EDGE/GPRS the speed is just too slow,,,

But IMO it should atleast connect,,,,but u still wont be able to use it on ur laptop if u r not on 3g....

hope this helps,,

Godspeed.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
If u have a Voda sim,,,just put it in ur phone,,,it should work,,,According to some ppl it only works with the handsets that came with this offer,,,anywayz what harm? Its just a SIM...

AND u dont go to Vodafone store for everything,,,,if u ll give them some hint that u r gonna do something that u r not supposed to,,,well ,u ll just reduce the possibility,,,SO just get a sim and try it,,

Godspeed.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
JUst uninstall the current version of KIES,,,then delete all the files in the KIES folder,,,Download the new KIES from Samsung Website...and u r good to go..

KE3??? are u kidding me brother??

U r from India only,,ryt??cuz this thread is for India,,,,

In India sgs2 already comes with KE8 and then u upgrade it to KF3..

And yeah KG6 is "LEAKED",,,,,it has 2.3.4,,its reportedly faster and smoother,,,,and has a good battery backup,,,but it still miss some features of 2.3.4,,,like video calling keeps crashing,,,,so IMO u should wait for the official release....

Hope this helps...

Godspeed.
[Galaxy S II General] dreamyworld:
Hey thanks for the reply.

Yes ur ryt that was a typo, I was updated it to KF3 through KIES.

And just now i have updated it to KG6 and im testing it..
[Galaxy S II General] eswar6280:
As per speed regulation your wise correct ...connecting 3g would establish the higher speed ...but it has to connect to internet in 2g also...even my galaxy5510 connects without any issues :rolleyes:...day by day i am facing small bugs in my SGS 2:(:(.........
[Galaxy S II General] eswar6280:
:eek::eek:...try with some other browser ....
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
Well,i think u should try usb tethering,,it ll work...

and on GPRS u wont get enough speed to do anything even if u can get it to connect in wi-fi hotspot mode,,,so the usb option is better if u r not using 3g..

These are not the phone's bug,,,,it is due to the data network...

Godspeed.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
lol,,,atleast u should read all the related comments before giving advice.....he is trying to update through the kies software itself,,,it has nothing to do with browser....

Godspeed.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
GoodLuck Mate...I still advice that u should wait for the official version,,,,

Or if u want it that bad then u should use the other custom ROMS which are based on it,,,

Godspeed.

Is it true that if we root our phone, we cant update it via KIES/OTA? I am talking about ONLY rooting, and not installing mods.
[Galaxy S II General] karankumar:
Im on XWKF3 and 2.3.3. Need an update to a more recent gingerbread build. I'm rooted using the CF root too. I just wantd to ask.

1. Is it safe for me to flash some other firmwares like say XWKJ3 or something that are on 2.3.5

2. Im thinking of getting siyah kernel. Any opinions on performance and battery life..

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
no

No..If you rooted but still on stock then no probs..Only concern is once you receive OTA or KIES update , you will loose your root .. So go back to intratech's thread get your insecure kernell..

btwn..samsung guys memory lost and they are searching hard for it.. we will nt get any updates dnt worry..

[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
Ofcourse gps doesn't need data conn.. It can take advantage of it as AGPS.. assisted GPS and it depends on app whether it uses agps or not..google maps uses it..nt sure abt sygic..

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
How ever to set the directions in Google maps you need internet connection right?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
Yea. To calculate the distance and direction you need internet. I like the Nokia navigator phone I had. With route 66
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
That depends upon app ur using..sygic got offline maps which can be used without a data connection wherr as in google maps you need a data connection
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Nokia OVI maps was better really. With full free navigation and offline and it came pre installed. Wish Google too will acquire one GPS company like Nokia did so they can provide GPS availability in India without any licensing issue.
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
Yep agree .. Atleast they should enable navigation assistance for india also for which we have to use brut mod at present..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Dont expect from google.

Many country still have to get street view in maps.

After street view available in india we can expect real asistted gps.
[Galaxy S II General] rutu3:
Great buy... looks good re. Can u post pic wit handset attach to it, And what is its cost and where u got it.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Yes you can safely flash other firmwares via odin.And,why to limit yourself to 2.3.5 when you can get 2.3.6(KK5).Try KK5 !!

And yes siyah kernel is one of the best..Awesome kernel..battery life fantastic.Will take your Android OS usage level to 2-3% !!! 1.5days-2days(moderate with intermittent peaks of high usage) is must on siyah.

Indian Debit cards are allowed buddy. I can't speak for PSU banks but all the cards of private banks are allowed to purchase from Market. My two friends, one having a HDFC and other ICICI have purchased almost 10 apps already. So I can say they work. Never had any interest in PSU banks, so you know...

[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
I tried SBI and UCO Bank visa debit cards, they are not supported. When I googled, I saw I'm not the only one. May be only cards from private banks are supported.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Its not actually a problem of google,its with RBI and Our Banks

They have some policies and rules by virtue of it we are unable to use debit cards for international online purchases.

Really thanful that atleast one bank allowed a debit card to do it.

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Any 3g plans for docomo?

Can we use the 2g pack for 3g speeds
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yeah i know the R. Its always there when I use 3G network. Used to have high speed before with R. Now don't know what happened. The R is usually that in notification screen i see !dea and spice. Here 1dea is the 3G network and hence R. But 2 days back it was AirTel instead of !dea. Thats the day when the the speed started to cap. But its !dea from yesterday evening and still the speed is capped :(

All the advice on this forum points to KL1 being a bad everyday ROM. It is a dev ROM with debugging extras. I would stick to KK5/KK2 as the latest firmware.

yep. exactly. but then the point is, i wanted to use the USB jig i just got and clear the counter.

ever since, i flashed myh phone 4 times already :D just for fun.

Weird GMaps GPS locking method!

This is weird! I didn't use GMaps after the 6.0 update but sometimes before I was playing with it and found that the GPS now works differently! I mean GMaps always used the Network Location based position as GPS when your device GPS was off, but now if it uses normal satellite way to lock GPS, hm and weird! Because on the previous method there was an advantage when there was NO GPS satellites avaialble at least it would have showed the approx location of the user, and there was also the option/oppurtinity to enhance and precise it by turning on the device GPS and the sensors but now it doesn't work that way. Especially in a country like India, where in most urban and semi city areas getting a GPS lock is a PITA I don't think this was the correct step taken by Google.

The location pointer is also changed, it was blue ball before now it's the blue triangle type one.

Feedback from you guys will be great.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:

The ball appears when Maps is not sure of the direction in which you are moving. The arrow comes in once it is sure. As your previous experience was mostly without satellite navigation, I guess you would have been seeing the blue ball most of the time.

I have used the iPhone4, HTC incredible S, the Galaxy S I9000, the HTC wildfire S over the last week and I noticed one thing, the displays, though lacking in contrast and punch, display colours way more naturally then the SGS2. I realized that the S2 has too much contrast and the colours too saturated and cartoon like. Also, the gamma curve applied to the S2 is quite ridiculous to say the least as it causes loads of black crunch, leaving almost no detail in the shadows. :( Has anyone found a way to fix this or make things look more natural and a little less contrasty and saturated.

I am on speedmod right now, which is supposed to have better colour reproduction and lower saturation but I really can't make out any difference. :(
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Try this app by Supercurio - Voodoo Screen Control and play with the gamma settings a bit.

Also, in case you try it, tell me which setting you like the most - the most "natural" setting

Yes, thats right, use this app and you will feel the difference. But as of now as the app is in development state you cant save the changes, you have to set it every time after reboot.

Awesome so I got the Voodoo app and SM2 A1 Line seems to offer the best results. I does however, have a slight pink tint which I plan to correct with the soft screen tune app.

I just have a couple of questions:

1) What HW rev are your screens? Mine says SM2 (A2 Line) - SMD_AMS427G03 which I load up the voodoo app. Also could someone tell me exactly how to use the voodoo app. What does the native button do? Small tutorial wold be helpful.

2) If I use the 'soft screen tune app' then how do I revert to factory defaults if I need to?

If you guys could help me with these 2 settings then I can post my results soon!

EDIT: btw set the voodoo app to A1 and look at this page: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php

You will immediately see how much more of the blacks are displayed correctly.

Take a nandroid/cwm backup and a titanium backup just the same .... nandroid for fail safe titanium to restore if all goes well to the new ROM

You can use Mobile Odin to keep root and flash new firmware
