what Carrier IQ issue?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Does this carrier iq affect our indian operators? i dont think so, may be for branded ones like verizon ,sprint etc

@ ravi

2 days is quite good, try siyah or some other may be you can get even more battery life. YOu can always return to stock if not satisfied ;)

It's a carrier ROM thing kinda of a bloatware preinstalled on ROMs provided by carriers / service providers

gps not working after installing checkrom+siyah :(

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Exactly, carrier roms are affected with this.

@ ravi

Its nothin but some preinstalled apps that comes with a rom used by some network operators which can collect all user data even if it is encrypted.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

Anyone?

Also I have did a full wipe and just flashed the CheckROM v4, does this means I have a stock kernel still?
[Galaxy S II General] jit_devil2:
ya you are still on stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
Checkrom boot time

Checkrom comes default with stock kernel..and regarding boot time..yes checkrom takes boot time is longer than stock for me also..they mentioned few things in their rom thread regarding zip alligning and other stuff at boot times..may be because of that..

Good to see you here GC - CheckROM is a brilliant ROM and easily among the 2 or 3 best custom ROMs for the SGGS2 right now. Great work.

I'm using CheckROM v4 and Dark Knight 2.3 - very happy :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Today I did the 3G trick.. Activated 17 rs gps pack.. Set network mode to wcdma only..and used..

Whoa..better than before..

For,those who asked about the speed, I tested it using speedtest app.. Posting the result screen shot here.. Superb speeds.. But the pack expired within 2 hours..

View attachment 805826 :-)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Man you are lucky enough, it didnt work for me few days back, but at times it working with 3g speed, if we reconnect after a while it falls back to 2g.

WIth this 17 rs pack, youll be getting 200mb right? what will happen after 200 mb?
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
after 200mb, you will be charged for every 50kb as per 3g data plan..

so i have to say that.. be careful, as over usage causes deduction in balance.. check the usage once in a while..:)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But mine is thrice as fast as yours :p My 3G tower was !dea itself :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK! :p

Hei, are you getting hspa speed as 7.2 mb in network signal info app? can you check that for me? I think airtel has capped the 3g speed to 7.2 mb in our region.

[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
kies update

Don't know when samsung will relase a firmware update..but update for kies (not firmware) available...stupid kies...
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
That is good news. Here is what happpened with me:

On Wednesday, Samsung Apps got updated.

On Thursday, KIES got updated

On Friday, I9100G got 2.3.6 update.

So get ready.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
More than 50 % of s2 users don't even know about xda, roms, etc, an update will surely be helpful for them. But for us here its not going to make any change.

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

[Galaxy S II General] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
nope..

Hm..just spoke to cc of samsung..

1. They are stopping update through kies especially in india because many brick cases coming to them after releasing a update. So future updations should be done through service centers.

2. 2.3.5 should be available with the service centers for s2. No clue on 2.3.6

3. s2 can be upgraded to 4.0 . 4.0 update is in testing may be it will take 3-4 months.

I argued with that guy to give me an escalation point..i got area manger number..tried to catch that guy..no luck..will try tomo..
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Ya mate.. Thats right.. Im also getting 7.2mb hspa speed in that app...
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
hats true, many of S2 users doesn't know the capabilities of this phone :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I will buy you a pav bhaji if that comes true :p
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Because they are blind idiots.. Samsung should wakeup, and it should employ someone who has even a small amount of brian and knowledge..
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Dude upgrading through service center is just a gimmick, actually they will simply flash to European firmware, there is no Indian firmware available anywhere.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
What we need to go to Service center? than WHY THE F*CK THEY RELEASED 2.3.6 FOR 1900G LAST WEEK through kies
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Whats wrong in that.. Paid 30k.. we have rights to ask.. Even we have rights to slap those dumba** at samsung india, who says ' fw update is not an issue'.. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Lol, did u see my post some few.pages back, a customer care Guy called me last night and just told.me the.exact words. Such a dumb person he was.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I dont think, SGS 2 in india will have to be updated via Service Center. Its untrue.

First, SGS2 indian is not a custom cell, its an international version ... Service Center guy is Jerk. Frankly, he has no idea about it and they are just bluffing to survive against all such questions.

Mark my words, by the end of December India will have 2.3.6 for sure.

As far as ICS is concern ... it will take 3 months...In March perhaps ... Leak will start by Dec. end.

Ya saw that dude.. its my fate to hear the same words from a similar dumb person.. :-)

There will be a team surely, but these customer care people in responsible position are not good enough to explore and learn it. Hei by the way dont show your hatred to service center guys, you may need them somewhere in the future ;)
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
If you are flashing MIUI, better flash Galnet's version! Much much better! Atleast they fix bugs on fridays!

And, bugs are weakish camera compared to on Samsung's ROMs! But that may be placebo! You can try some 3rd party app! :D

And advisable to flash a custom kernel with MIUI, they say battery sucks on stock!

Other than that, Flash it, it's awesome!
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
Sure it will work in ics.. Because i have seen that the app requires android 3.0 or higher..

So wait for ics.. :-)

Hello fellow indian SGS2 users,

I will be visiting Pune in few weeks. I just want to know if the MHL cable is available there.

Cause its not here in UAE.

One main reason i got SGS2 is for the mhl cable, and that itself is not available here.

so i was thinking it might be available in india.

Please let me know the retail store name and it's price.

Preferably the original cable from Samsung, but if other brand which are there works then let me know too.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
Dumbass excuses, releasing 2.3.6 for neighboring countries, kazakhistan got 2.3.5 for heavens sake. Most people dont even know where it is on the freakin map.

The Original Samsung MHL cable(HDTV Adapter) is really a wonderful cable of joy....perfectly working wih my Sony LCD FHD TV & Sammy D550 FHD pdp tv...No disconnection of Internet(over wifi & mobile internet) & quite stable in displaying on the tv,while using the MHL cable with the tv !.Bought one from ebay.in for around 1300 INR few days back...quite happy with it!

Now i need a Mini BT Keyboard/mouse combo that will work perfectly with it,including running basic standard functions as well the HD games...untill i get a phonejoy type of BT gamepad for running the games perfectly!

Pals...any recommendations for such mini keyboard/Mouse combo that Actuallly works???...best if u provide links that can b purchased in INR !
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
I sometimes get static grains (like we get when no signal through a TV or Cable connection) and have to disconnect the cable and reconnect. Also, there are intermittent disruption of AV stream when playing a content. Do you get such issues on your MHL adapter? I have tried with multiple HDMI cables which otherwise works perfectly with other sources.

I also have official MHL through Letsbuy.

The Samsung India Support related to Firmware Updates is worst.

Even if you send mail to support.india @samsung.com, finally you will get same reply visit Service Centre.

I'd sent mail to their VP sitting in NOIDA 4 months back which fell on DUMB ears and that guy never bothered to reply. The best option to get S2 customers heard is that storm all their press events where Senior Samsung Officials are present and teach them lesson on the spot.
