I'm honestly honoured & humbled by the compliments you guys have given me. Thank you one & all. Basically I just call them like I see them.

Not available at any other time except in the morning & maybe on somedays in the afternoon because that when I study.

1) your settings shouldn't just vanish like that because I've entered safe mode & back without that happening & 2) if it's gone, it's gone. There is no way to recover them. Looks like your /data/data has been wiped. Could you confirm that?

Its called voice search & it comes in the gapps package. It's also available in the Play store but that is an older version.

I too have that wakelock & I can't figure it out. Been banging my head over it for 2 months & trust me I've tried everything & Google'ed the hell out of it with no favourable results. It stopped in the middle for a while & now it's back again. No definite trigger or solution to the wakelock.

Apple makes almost 58% profit per iPhone. So you are already paying for the warranty! 25k or 45k take your pick. You can get two nexus/s2 devices for that amount.

Apple also doesnt repair your devices, I had issues with my iPad and they just replaced it with a brand new one on the spot without any questions. How cool is that?

Where as Samsung will ask you to drop your phone, to get it repaired. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
As I said with apple you are already paying for warranty/replacements. If I was paying 45k for a Samsung phone I would demand the same level service from them too. Just visit techenclave forum, apple product owners do complain of Apple service (or lack of) in India. They do not always replace your product. In India Apple service is not as good as it is in other countries. They do not even have apple stores in India!
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
LOL I was talking about India, coz I am from India :D:D LOLOLOL I got my iPad replaced from Delhi, Apple store. FYI: I am also a member of TE. :good:

They don't repair any product, its only replaced. That's the policy they follow!

Compare price of SGS3 (35K) and iPhone4S (40k), both falls in same category. Would you mind paying 5k extra to get a piece of mind?

Lets end this, coz this will lead to no where and will change to ApplevsSamsung. I am using Gals2, iP4s, New iPad and I love all the gadgets. It's just I cant digest that JB news for S2 which tends me to buy my next ph as Wp8 which would again be Samsung :D or iPhone5. Let's see.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
You're comparing two phones that are a generation (as in iPhone5 = Galaxy S3 for comparison) apart & still the iPhone comes out as the one that is more expensive (not that the iPhone4S was any match for the S2) so you basically pay through your pants just for that peace of mind & that half eaten Apple logo.

Also I've read that you don't get a brand new replacement product but a refurbished one that to in America so I would expect them to do it any differently over here. What do you think happens to your defective iPad? I'm assuming that it gets refurbed & given to some other poor shumck as a "brand new" replacement.

I'm just voicing my opinion & not trying to start the Apple vs the rest of the world debate again.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Did anyone see Samsung ativ S(win8 phone).? I was shocked seeing the built quality and design from Samsung and thought myself - Ugly SGS3 on other end from same samsung

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM3EVYK2TAc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
yeah refurbished one, but you are wrong its not in America, its all across globe. I have replaced my iP4s once, and my new iPad once, the refurbished one's are new, infact better than your scratchy gadget and comes with new battery. Do you care what's inside it? lol lets end it here.

If there is no JB for S2, my next device would be non-android, WP8 and iPh. Thats what it all started, and end here. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Well it's better to let the uninformed know that is not a new unit. I know it's all over the world. I said America just to emphasis my point that this is what they do in their largest market & sonit wouldn't be different anywhere else. I agree refurbished is better than your own unit repaired & returned & I would prefer that. Aren't their product's up to scratch that you had to replace 2 of them?

About JB by Samsung : They haven't said we won't receive the update & everybody is panicking like it's the end of the world. Let them Koreans come out with a statement first. All we have is speculation (Sammobile says we'll get an update, Samsung kept mum). I say if the Note 1 gets it then so will we because it's the same hardware & we do have a larger user base so sit back, relax & put that pitchfork down:p till the time Samsung makes a formal announcment. If they don't make a release then go for blood.
[Galaxy S II General] Omaxe:
I had camera problem with my iP 4 and they replaced my iP camera for 4400 INR in warranty..

And if you are such a fan of iP then why bought S II?

Huh...?

I migrated from iP 4 to S II and after some days with SGS II i feel that my decision was absolutely true...

I'm sure the next nexus will be launched in India, so I would ask you to wait! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Really? Samsung thinks Nexus devices does not interest Indians and it's no use targeting nexus device towards Indian market.

If next nexus launches, I'll get it from Thailand since I made a mistake of not getting it last time thinking Samsung might release nexus a little late in India. :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Easy there dude. I have seen enough people complain about Apple service. So it varies case by case.

We are not sure if Samsung would be making the next nexus. It could be multiple OEMs. Samsung did launch nexus S in India. Again I hope Google play store starts selling devices in India.

Bug fixes!!
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
I got my SGS2 replaced thrice, 1st one was screen issues, second one was camera pink issues, and third one was fault home button. Now, I dont say Samsung are upto scratch? I am just praying to get JB, and I will be happy Samsung customer again. If it doesn't get, that doesn't mean I am not going to buy Samsung but my point is I wont be buying Samsung Android device. Do you see the difference here? yeah, thats why I was little pissed off as they announced SGN1 getting JB, and no announcement for SGS2 which has a much larger base than any of the current phones. Fingers crossed.

I like HTC, and you hardly know what collection do I carry. I work for Nokia, but I don't use Nokia products. Does this make anyone a fan? Dude, there is life behind one brand. I love gadgets be it any brand which satisfies my needs and keeps me happy. Get it? I am not the one who sticks to one brand, or carries one ph at a time. So, just cut the "fan" word here and enjoy what you are enjoying!

Hi,

I am on the sensation rom, and would like to go back to my last nandroid backup.

2) Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset

3) restore from nandroid

4) reboot.

Are the above steps correct?

Thanks,

i wonder if we have to be rooted to use the gTalk i mentioned. all i did was extract the file on my computer and installed Talk2.apk on the phone
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yes, just do the FR and Wipe

after

restoring the Nandroid, not before.

PS: If you don't have any existing bug then I'd say you don't need to do a Wipe and FR. If you have though, then do otherwise.
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
If you do FR after restore, won't you lose all your data and apps?

I don't think you need to do anything before/after when you are restoring backup as it restores everything to the state it was when the backup was created.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I have never faced any problem when I restore like this.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Whenever I restore a backup, I don't wipe anything before or after. It doesn't harm if you are wiping before anyway. If you do a factory reset after restore you might lose all your data and apps.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Yep, you are right. There is no need to FR and Wipe after restoring a Nandroid. As the user said thus I told him to do a FR after restoring, if there is any problem/bug remains in the system

then only after flashing a ROM

you need to do a FR and Wipe, but not before. And yes, FR and Wipe will remove everything from device, before or after doesn't matter, it is always recommended to take a Backup before going for a Wipe.

Seems to me that you just happen to be an unlucky guy who gets all the defective stuff:p. Never had an issues with my phone & so have a lot of other people. Samsung generally do a good job with hardware. Oh & btw the pink spot issue on the camera is a general mobile camera issue even on some of the best mobile camera phones.

Nokia is a company that has passed its prime & screwed the pooch when it had opportunities to make it big for next generation stuff. Their touch phones suck & so is the decision to persists with Symbain as an OS. WP on the other hand seems like a good decision.

Try changing the decoding mode form S/W to H/W & if it still doesn't work then send an email to them.

Nokia were good. They aren't anymore. They had brilliant ideas which the didn't choose to implement & now they are going to disappear like Kodak. Now they just make good budget (non - touch) phones.

Just wait for an announcement on the S2 . They will make one.

Nokia already rocked the world. I'm sorry to burst you bubble but I don't think Nokia is coming back for where it is now back to the top.

Windows will last (Windows 8 is pretty good) & so will Xbox & Kinect is a pretty darn good invention. Microsoft still have it in them to deliver those hits & innovate & that's what will keep them happily afloat.
