[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
I too have heard similar things from a samsung dealer, the update is getting delayed due to 3g video calls support and some other things which is not allowed in india. I couldnt get the exact details from him. But overall it seems they have to rework the latest updates specially for india possibly causing the delay
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Oh now I understood why they talking this much time
[Galaxy S II General] astrodomine:
Hey thanks dude, this worked :-)
[Galaxy S II General] astrodomine:
But 3g is being promoted by saying that it supports video calls...never heard of a govt regulation around it.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
It seems its not about the video calls, but how those video calls are made, either via your network provider or by internet, i couldnt get a hold of that guy, so i cant get anything further from him.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
That's a dumba$$ reason to hold back update people can download Skype and do network calls all they want......
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
u mean network providers dont want us to make vedio calls using any applications(gtalk vedio,skype) over 3g other thn network vedio calls ?

come on thts very annoying,already 3g data is very highly priced ,,,,
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Those dumbs are giving dumbest reasons.

Most of these feature that claimed on android 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 for our galaxy s2 are there for Galaxy Note. How come Galaxy Note gets officially sold in India then???

Regarding ICS too It will be launched officially In India with Galaxy Nexus, How this phone gets nod officially,???? If this ICS software permitted in India,its update to otherphone will not have any objection.

has Galaxy s2 governed by different set of rules specially made for it by parliament :eek::eek:

There must be some issue with Google music agreements or May be they thinking that Indian are not tech savy,so they dont want to bother/confuse Indians with regular updates. :p:p

Samsung Servers might have been locked and person that knew the password was in Hospital since July ;););););)

[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
But No such update exists for us. I cant see in Kies. Do you?

I said joke cause OTA update doesnt work in India. Atleast it never seems to have connected to server for me. Samsung says u can upgrade OTA. They might have pushed 2.3.4 to all galaxy s2 in the dream and woke up and tweeted
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

Gingerberad Update in INDIA

When will indians get 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 uptade
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Assuming earlier records of SAMSUNG INDIA, I don't think they are planning any update real soon. But its listed in so many sites that, INDIA will get 2.3.6 soon. So, maybe if SAMSUNG PEOPLE want,we may see an update till December End.
[Galaxy S II General] hello_dbm:
No worries...if you do not want ki3 you can always chanhe the modem to ki4 or ki1, which probably are the best fit for Indian users and have great battery life as well.

Hey guys

Got the magic sim whic i had ordered. I had to cut both my sims as per the instructions provided. Simple process really but u got to have a sharp scissor for cutting the sim card. Now bot my sims are in the phone and shifting from one sim to another takes approx 30 seconds. One problem is that when i move fron one sim to the other the apn does not change accordingly and have to do it manually. I have sent a mail to the vendor and maybe he will have some solution. But it is a neat device to change connection without switching off the phone. Not necessary though if one is used to changing sim cards.. Also i got my 1900mah anker battery set which i am using right now. The charger is also able to charge the stock battery. Regarding the backup of the anker battery i shall update later.

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I actually don't but people have started to scare me now by asking such questions :p
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
yeah, me neither. besides, there are lots of reports that malware apps for android are on the rise. it is quite possible as google allows just anybody to post what they want on the market. and the other non-android market places where we can get apps.

amazon/samsung might be the only trusted non-android market zones to get apps from.

Ya.. Not even give a glance at it..

[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I read in an article,that apps, we install on our phone, are already sandboxed. That means, they can not not access, or affect any other app on our phone. Also, google issued an advisory, regarding malwares on market, few days back, which states that, apps are frequently scanned, and there is no use of any anti malware apps, as they too are sandboxed!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
well sir, that is one article to ten.

what i come to believe is, some of the android haters(companies i would not want to mention as they are on a suing spree and i may be sued for defamation), are either spreading this on sites or, if the threat actually exists, they are probably sponsored by those companies to bring down the market share.

it is a bad world out there

Which do u think is best aka cheap and usable 3G provider?

Airtel, BSNL or Voda ?

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Every provider in INDIA, has 3G rates, priced too high. Also, there is not much difference between any of the carrier's plans.Difference is just a matter of 10-15 bucks.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I am not sure about them sorry.....I think soon 3G price will go down because soon 4G gonna release in india

I dont think we will get it any sooner dude, no tender has been anounced for 4g yet, a looooooooong way to go, but who cares. As you said ill be happy with 3g plans with 2 gb for rs 100 per month.

btw ,in hspda mode im seeing the max speed as 7.2 mb for airtel. Is that the actual speed airtel provides or it is capped in my area?

Edit:

[Offfff Topic: my thanks meter jus crossed the 100 mark :)]

I dont think that 4g will reduce the prices of 3g

Infact after 3g launch the prices for data plans for EDGE/GPRS by all operator are revised and all are on upper side of the ladder.

All operators inversted huge on 3g for auction and they cant recover unless they offer some costly plans. if they offer dead cheap plans they will apply for bail out package to govt of India.

I feel 4g plans will be like, they advertise like this

You get 150mbps speeds on your LTE mobile ,lightening fast blah blah blah

1gb @ 1000rs/month. or for 100mb/100rs month

Overall i read in one article that worldwide 3g penetration was a failure due costly data plan. Even in usa they charge for 2gb 25$ for AT&T. (But they give 600$ phone for 100$)

That way we got some cheap plan
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
And thats what I do.. Activate 2g plans and change network mode to wcdma only.. And downloads will be in 3g speed..
[Galaxy S II General] mgdelhi:
Sure, we all will wait for your review.

In the meantime, can you share which ROM are you using finally ?
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
I think major operators in India have already won panindia operating licence while bidding for 3G some also auctioned for 4g and won the licence and then major companies like reliance has already started to build 4g facilities in some cities.. And I totally believe that 4g will reduce 3G plans.. Let's see what happens.. Btw after wire broadband has reduced price so much I believe 3G plans will become more cheaper and wimax service is already started by some providers like bsnl...

I wish we all Indian users SUE Samsung under cheating :p

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
NFC!!

I was looking Around SGS2 box and noticed Thickness is 11.5 mm .. I think Samsung Said 8.5 mm or 8.9 mm Dont remember exact what Samsung said But it was in 8.* mm ..Any one know why it is 11.5 mm not 8.* mm? Maybe NFC hardware is inside but we can't see antenna and later it will get activated with some update
