these functions dont need any service to be "activated".....u should read the earlier posts carefully....NFC is a very nice feature,,,We dont have it on sgs2 while many other phones have it,,Its certainly not a deal breaker ,,,but still it would have been better if we had this feature.. NFC can do a lot cool things,,,like pairing 2 devices(headphones to phone,phone to phone,etc),,,,,
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
DUDE THEY ARE WORKING ON IT...World is going to END soon? No right that means we can expect it in future.When they release NFC in future will you buy another mobile which is 25k+ just for a NFC feature? I am sure I won't ..I am talking about the feature that THEY PROMISED I am not asking any new feature that they didn't said......My guess is by end of this year or early 2012 we might see some NFC feature in some metro cities (not all.just FEW) as testing with more people Like Delhi,Mumbai,Bangalore,Hyderabad
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
If you ordered the one I said I REALLY HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT...I love it and it gives a good grip for me in hand.I hope you select a Very good Screen Guard
[Galaxy S II General] gr8member:
Please note that I am in no way supporting any seller and this is my honest feedback based on the usage for the past one week.

Case - I got this one free from letsbuy. The first layer (a hard case) does not cover the phone 100%, but offers 85% protection. I think this is very similar to Case mate BT/Barely There case. The only difference here is the additional holder case with stand which also doubles up as a hip pouch. I use this stand all the time and looks gorgeous

http://www.letsbuy.com/molife-m-mlp8372-p-19288

Screen guard - I was not happy with the one shipped by letsbuy and went with the one by Amzer with Anti glare. This offers 90% smudge/finger print protection and would recommend this. You can also get it from their site

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
What are those links supposed to mean?

Anyway, NFC is a nice feature to have, of course, and yes Samsung did say GS II would have NFC, but my point is, it really doesn't matter, by the time we get NFC there will be Galaxy S IV/4 out in the market, so quite normally I will have to buy another phone, that maybe after 2 years? If we are lucky. I know India, forgot about 3G so fast? It is on the news from early 2010, now more than half of 2011 gone, still some urban areas haven't got it, and the rates are out of earth, so I know when I could expect a service in India.

If I had gone harsh, then I am sorry, but I did state the true fact.

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
One last fact to add in front of everyone: Sold both my spare Jigs to the user "deependra" on XDA this evening who was absolutely thrilled to see the Yellow triangle disappear :)

Here is a part of the pm (in the attachment) he wrote to me after the transaction.

Also, here is a pic I had taken earlier with the 3 Jigs with my username on it (this is accepted procedure for proof of possession and authenticity on XDA I believe)

I think I have proved the authenticity of the product (and me). Also, I have unconditionally and publicly apologised a couple of times on a public forum for not picking up your call.

I have accused you of nothing. On the other hand, I have been questioned on my class and upbringing and on the authenticity of the product.

I shall not say another word on this (unless goaded into it - as was the case first time)

As for your firmware question - I haven't seen any major difference in performance on any of the updates that Samsung has given. However, I have only used upto KG1 (before shifting to CM7 - highly recommended, by the way).
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Smartphones fight for how thin their phone is at its thinnest part - somewhere in the middle part for our phone. It would be 11.5mm at its maximum thickness (probably near the bottom where the sound output is)

I think the iPhone 4 was 10.1mm - the Xperia Arc came up with an 8.7 mm phone at its thinnest. Samsung went one step better and made an 8.5 mm thick phone :) - nothing to do with NFC I am afraid.

i wonder hw many ppl getting 3g speeds on 2g packs ?

any procedure to be followed ? i m using 98 pack airtel karnataka...

do i ve to put mobile in dualmode or wcdma mode only ?

ok now i am using 98 pack valid till dec 13,can i activate 3g pack over the existing 2g pack for a day i.e 9rs recharge....after tht one day 3g pack will i still be able to make use of 98 pack which is valid till dec 13 ?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I can answer this question after Feb 2nd
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
lol it would ve been better u ignored the msg and did not replied :) now curious to knw :D cant wait for three months :P
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
You gotta select wcdma mode. Before that you need to activate 3g.services on your phone. Call customer care guys, they'll tell you how to or ask them and they'll activate it for you. Then you need to restart your phone and see if are getting signal in wcdma mode. Get a 2g pack. Restart your phone and voila. You will most probably get the speeds. Back home I did this with bsnl. The pack was for 300 and I got 8gb internet. The drawback was that I had to finish that pack once and for all. Otherwise it used to give me 2g speed after sometime. Make sure to check your balance. So that you'll get to know whether you are being charged for 3g or successfully running 3g on 2g pack.
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
let me try the trick :D lol so many google search result for "how to get 3g speeds in 2g pack" all says first activate any 3g plan best would be one day 3g pack use few mb thn recharge for 98pack then dont browse till the one day 3g pack expires then 2g pack will be converted into 3g one :D will give it a try :)

OC/UV

@bala

Could you please give me a quick OC/UV tutorial. I am planning to Siyah 2.3.

What else do I require?

Do I need SetCPU?

How do I go about doing it?

Also what are the main advantages and disadvantages?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
to explain it in simple words, with OC/UV you can get more performance/less battery drain when compared to stock kernel.

Kernel : Any kernel compatible with overclocking.

Apps needed

1. voltage control

2. setcpu.

you can use any one of it.

your stock clocks will be from 200 mhz to 1200 mhz, with overclocking you can get max clock speed upto 1.6X ghz .

your max stock voltage will be 1250 mv for 1200 mhz.

Overclocking:

Once you install a compatible kernel plus set cpu or voltage control, you will be given with preset voltage for every clock levels. you can directly start using those presets.

Undervolting:

Tweaking the voltage in given preset will help you save some juice in your battery.

Eg:

1200 mhz @ 1250 mv is stock

1400 mhz @ 1375 mv is preset voltage.

1400 mhz @ 1250 mv is tweaked voltage(UV)

Once you underclock it you have to check the stability of those clocks at that voltage. you can use the stress test option in setcpu, and test the cpu for 10 mins, if you dont get any errors then you are good at the selected voltage. Similarly you have to find the minimum voltage for all the clock and stress test those clock speeds.

The last step is to note the values that best suit your mobile and save it. You can start with Uv values in my signature(+25).

Note:

UV will not be the same for all users.

1.4 ghz OV is more than enough to be butter smooth.

Never go beyond the voltage values of 1450 MV.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Guys if you want to keep the game simple and just oc or uc and keep stock voltages which is advised by most kernel developers, use no frills cpu from the market, simple interface to select governor and scheduler and have fun :)

Anyone here, participated in Asphalt 6, WCG competition?
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Whoa

Whoa dude! Thanks so much. That was super informative. Just a couple of doubts:

1) I read about init.d scripts, and how that's the best way to change governors, how do I use these scripts? or is it just easier to do it using SetCPU?

2) Also if I'm gonna use SetCPU to change governor/scheduler then how do I do that?

I know you're using ondemand, but what scheduler are u on, Simple?

Again, Thanks so much for the help!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1. As of now play with OC/UV , later you can go for init.d scripts.(Those are the scripts that runs after loading the OS). If your just going to stick with OC/UV you dont need manual scripts.

2. You need voltage control lite or some other app to change the scheduler. Setcpu can only change governors.

Im using SIO scheduler.

Juice defender? That should be the culprit then, it overrides your wifi settings to save extra juice.

Btw siyah 2.3 and checkrom 3.1.1 giving me great battery life after 1 day 8 hours I still have 65% left :D

1) If I install Voltage Control Lite, then do I need SetCPU or should I uninstall it?

2) Do I need to OC/UV if I use a governor like SmartassV2

3) I plan to try ondemand with your OC/UV settings so how do I go about doing that?

4) Do you use SetCPU profiles? if yes then can you please tell me your settings?

5) Do you have an app the monitor temperatures? if yes then which one?

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1) If I install Voltage Control Lite, then do I need SetCPU or should I uninstall it?

A:I use setcpu for stress testing alone, so it can co exist.

2) Do I need to OC/UV if I use a governor like SmartassV2

A:You can OC/UV with any governor,scheduler.

3) I plan to try ondemand with your OC/UV settings so how do I go about doing that?

A:The method is same for all governors.

4) Do you use SetCPU profiles? if yes then can you please tell me your settings?

A: Used those profiles earlier, not using it now. To not smartassv2 has a built in sleep profile.

5) Do you have an app the monitor temperatures? if yes then which one?

A: We can only monitor the battery temperature. Using the battery monitor widget to monitor it.

6) How exactly do schedulers help? Will it increase battery life or performance?

A: Scheduler helps with overall responsiveness and smoothness if chosen correclty.
