Don't know about this specific model but my dad is using Cdma = Gsm and he is more than happy...

And for the debate whats better for our dad it all depends how much fast they learn....

I just say my elders do whatever you want and if trouble then ask me.... I happily help...

in this way they are self sufficient in learning new things and they die to try many more such things...:angel:
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well nice that your dad has the same one. Can you give your opinion about battery life, camera and audio?
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Check this out!
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hahaha :D
[Galaxy S II General] kalpeshaparmar:
Battery life is good 2 days of moderate usage...

Audio is also good as he is using more of Cdma...

And camera is ok ok... may be 3 out of 5...
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Is it black or white colour one?

GSM+GSM is only available in white I wonder how would it stand after few months of usage. Any idea?

I need some help. Is it possible to enable soft keys on a stock is firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] kalpeshaparmar:
It's Metallic Grey colour...

And one more difference is Gsm version has 5 mp cam and cdma one has 3.15 mp cam

And GSM + GSM is available in black colour also

Ace Duos S6802

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Battery life of Gsm Version would be less as it has 1300 mah

and Cdma version has 1650 mah...

Problem with Cdma version is only Cdma Internet or Wifi can be used... and not of Gsm....

Aitel 3g is very slow on my phone...

earlier it seem fast but now a days seems too slow to browsing...

any solution :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
If you did nothing and speed went down then its a SP problem..

If you were playing with ROMs/ Modem's and if by any chance modem got changed it can drastically affect 3g speeds. If you changed modem try diff modems and use speedtest app and find out which one gives you best speed.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
& that's because our phone is not build to wade through rivers & survive constant drops. Every phone has a unique selling point & the defy's usp is toughness & our phone on the other hand is power & a sleek form factor.

Hey guyz,

I am on Rootbox v1.6. When i change my DPI to 221, facebook in play store says the app is incompatible and certain games also dont work. They work if i am at 240 DPI. Any reason for this? Anything else i need to install?

P.S.:- changed my dpi 1st time and loved the 221 dpi.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
That hack is being used from some years now...

It can also be done without any bad intentions or for educational purposes

One guy also created an app called wifi kill and its on xda also(i am sure you know that)

(i am sure app will be a huge hit)
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Are you on stock? GB - 2.3.6? I had something similar, but ICS 4.0.3 doesn't have such issues yet..
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Because there are certain dpi that are set as stock by google & the reason why I'm assuming is to maintain uniformity across different devices for phone's belonging to the same category, i.e., phones having similar screen resolutions. Non stock dpi are not supported & hence you will get the error you are seeing . For example our device has 240 as stock, the nexus or note will have 320 as they have a higher resolution screen. There are hacks & workarounds but not everyone of the give you 100% results though they will get the job done. Try lcd density modder pro from the market.
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
Wifi kill sure is Great and is already getting lot of traction.

How ever if you look in to reality. Wifi kill uses classic arp cache poisioning attack . So i would say its nothing fancy ..But good thing is that user dont have to bother about arp packet crafting on his own and things gets simpler for noobs..

Modern day network Switches have provision for catching this and wifi kill or for that matter classic arp cache poisioning would look lil old :silly:

Give it just 4 months from now and I'm positive you should get nexus 7 easily within 10-12k

The device is designed to be used along with play store but most of features from play store like movies, music, books etc don't work in India so it's pointless buying this this as it has limited storage.

It's a different topic that you have online storage, modded play store and lot of workarounds in XDA to sort out minor problems/cons of the device.

Before installing a cfw I want to save my contacts, messages,watsapp contacts/history chats, xda app-login details etc So does titanium save those contacts/preference and settings?

Installing cfw will keep the sdcard and excard intact; then where does the actuall installation start if sdcard is internal memory in s2?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Yes! It backs up all app data. Cfw install file is stored on the 11.5 gb partition which is a part of of the 16 gb that comes with the phone unless you store it somewhere else. The 4.5 gb that you see missing gets divided for between /data, /cache & other things. I didn't really get the second part of your question so I hope this is the answer you are looking for.
[Galaxy S II General] ivanmatz:
will the sdcard(16GB) stay intact if I install a custom ROM or do I need to backup that as well?

Quick question guys. I am about to root the gs2 using chainfire method. will this wipe my device or will the data remain. Also i am assuming that i shall be able to install the clean and simple rom after i root as that one seems to be giving the best battery life as per reviews. The triangle i am not worried about so that is not a problem. Further, can i install any kernel after i root. Also is there any list of bloatware apps i can safely remove if i decide not to install the clean and simple rom. These are like three questions, but wth, i am excited to finally root.

Hey!

I bought the S2 last week, it's been around 5 days now.

The phone is awesome. But, the battery backup is very very bad.

Can some one look at the screenshots and clear it up for me, if something is wrong here ?

I have Android OS = 49% and also have Android System = 6%.

Should the OS be taking up so much battery ?

I checked my friend's HTC Incredible S. It doesn't even have the Android OS field in the list, only has Android System.

Please clear this, somebody. I hardly get 8-9 hours from a full charge.

No wifi / 3g. Auto Sync to off !

I have come from an iPhone 4. It used to go a full day, almost 20+ hours without any hiccups, with Wifi and 3G on all the time.

Stock device, stock rom. Not rooted.

Also attaching screens of my device details.

Please help!
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
Sorry for late reply, but download a custom kernel like speedmod, siyah

unzip the file, you will get a zImage file

Intra's kernel won't give you Root, that is the Chainfire kernel for rooting :D

Turn off auto-sync, and also turn off samsung updates ... Android OS is a bug due to bad implementation of drivers i guess!
