[Galaxy S II General] kanu1and:
thx for the reply . leaving this aside everything is fine ???
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
@Ravi, naturist, kachrukamble and every one else

I don't have any idea, about the last date. But you can confirm from the link i mentioned.

About gprs settings, i use the default access point, i. e. Idea internet. I don't have to do anything manually. Also, i dont have to change networks, to make it work, i remain on idea, and it works.It gives very good speed.

I dont believe its region specific.

Sorry, for late reply..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:

The speed is usually above 500 kbps.
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
You mean the download speed or browing speed? I am using Vodafone 3g, and speedtest shows 5-6mbps.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
M talkin abt download speed. I downloaded some files, i got around 600-700 kbps of download. Speedtest normally shows around 5 mbps.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Blue tint? It was supposed to b yellow tint?
[Galaxy S II General] viper_79:
yellow?? nope.. blue.. very very blue!! there is nothing such as white on the phone. and with the slightest tilt it gets beyond unbearable!!

just killed the battery and phone is charging right now, will post comparison pics and vids with my HD2 once recharged.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Oh no what shld i do now? already paid for it and going to get:(
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well I purchased it finally, from D.P.Electronics, Kolkata for Rs.31,000. Till now I am overly impressed by it. There is no yellow tint whatsoever. Really fantastic device. But one thing, how can I disable conversation style SMS Inbox? Can't find any way!
[Galaxy S II General] viper_79:
U mean to say there is no blue tint?? And that you can see proper whites on the phone? Hard to believe... can u post a pic if u don't mind.
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:

Can anyone point me to shops in new delhi where i can pick it up from? I dont wanna order from letsbuy and go through aramex crap....

what about flipkart...whats their delivery time like?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Blue tint? From where did blue tint come from? It was supposed to be Yellow tint! Anyway I

don't have any kind of tint, Blue, Yellow or whatever is there. I don't have a camera thats why I am unable to upload a picture, but I'd be really happy if I could uploaded a picture. Anyway the White is extremely perfect.

Can anyone please answer my query, how do I disable this Conversation SMS Inbox style? And one more thing, my phone is running on CSC DDKE2 and PDA Version is XWKE8, are these updated Firmwares of India?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] AnDruid:
Hmmm... I don't have an answer to your question, but AFAIK KE8 is quite recent firmware version probably only available in Indian version of the SGS2 I9100. So it might not have too many tools etc built for it right now. Though you might want to search the "development" section of this forum to see if anything is available for this. And perhaps it would be good advice to not root and try out different ROMs until there is a way to rollback to stock ROM, unless one has a compelling enough reason to root your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Is it really that bad? No one else reported that, maybe you got a faulty unit?

Please post pics so we could see further..
[Galaxy S II General] motodude:
I got it from Magnet ... nice shop all legit bargained to 30.5 k ...

Its just on the same lane of Alfa2
[Galaxy S II General] umermajeed:
anyone?

no ones from delhi?
[Galaxy S II General] viper_79:
unfortunately, it is :( !!! it is a great piece otherwise... blacks are good, no half yellow side (couldn't notice it at all), the battery that it came pre-charged it with lasted great, gps was as good as my nokia e71 (which i didn't even think was possible!), android os not eating away the battery, phone awake time perfectly aligned with screen on time.

bottom line, everything works just purrrfect... but i can't get past the blue tine, it really is that horrible. tried all three background effects at various intensities, basically tried every permutation and combination and still couldn't get it to even half a satisfactory level :( !!

could other owners kindly chip in with their experience with their screen pls... and a few pics to substantiate your claims as well, either ways. phone still on charging, will post pics as soon as the battery is full.
[Galaxy S II General] ankit1986:
I got it from Spice Mobile for 29.7k + screen guard on Sunday. The shop is in Paschim Vihar.
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
Can you please post a pic sir asap sir? What blue tint are you talking about?!?

I hardly have any complaints atm, use it at home mainly for a couple of hours, just setting up stuff... though I'm still waiting for a screen protector to make it my daily phone.

[Galaxy S II General] kunalparwani:
where? can you PM me? Poorvika wont go below 30,300...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's the explanation from Wiki.

Color balance issues: Additionally, as the OLED material used to produce blue light degrades significantly more rapidly than the materials that produce other colors, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This differential color output change will change the color balance of the display and is much more noticeable than a decrease in overall luminance.[62] This can be partially avoided by adjusting colour balance but this may require advanced control circuits and interaction with the user, which is unacceptable for some users. In order to delay the problem, manufacturers bias the colour balance towards blue so that the display initially has an artificially blue tint, leading to complaints of artificial-looking, over-saturated colors. More commonly, though, manufacturers optimize the size of the R, G and B subpixels to reduce the current density through the subpixel in order to equalize lifetime at full luminance. For example, a blue subpixel may be 100% larger than the green subpixel. The red subpixel may be 10% smaller than the green.

bought Galaxy s2 for 30.5k from Bandra,Mumbai....its just awesome phone!
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
actually earlier i was using Sony ericsson Arc i got free hd games on that so i transfered them in my SII and also downloaded free HD games but unable to play... i tried freezing through titanium backup bu tit didnt helped me..

so what should i do... r u able play hd games..
[Galaxy S II General] mangesh hotkar:
i tried stock rom with wipe cache and factory reset but no success,imei is the same one.how to get rid of this problem ?.is there any other way....network is shown correctly but not imei.is this a hardware(motherboard) related issue or a wrong software flashing problem.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The reason for games not working is the difference in the gpu in these two mobiles.

arc is using adreno205 gpu and s2 is using mali 400 gpu... so if you transfer the games from arc to s2 most of the gpu dependent games(like gameloft) wont work...

All the hd games work for me.
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
okay. So you mean my first month had only 18 days since i had it activated on the 12th. and the offer would end by Jan 31, 2012.
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Are you serious?? Does the unused amount of data get added to next month's quota?? Its my 4th month with the plan.The very first month my usage exceeded the 1Gb but for the next 2 months I would've not used 200mb atleast.../month.So does that 400mb get added up now? :0

If yes..Is there any way to check that ?
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Absolutely...

For the first month you were entitled to use 18/31 *1 GB i.e 0.58 GB
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
I am not so sure about it. because I used around 800 MB and i was not charged anything extra.
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Lol..nice then..but i've no idea.As per the conditions it should have been just like I mentioned.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
3. The Offers shall be made available only against usage of Vodafone Live! & Vodafone Mobile Connect services.

4. For Prepaid Subscribers, only 1 GB free data usage would be permitted each month on 2G or 3G network as available for 6 months from the date of activating the offer & the Prepaid Subscriber would be charged for data usage in excess of 1 GB data usage each month till the end of the offer, as per the regular data plan (data usage will be available across VEL network in India except J&K).

a. For existing Vodafone Live! & Vodafone Mobile Connect (‘VMC’) users, the prepaid Subscriber would be charged for data consumption as per the prepaid subscriber’s regular data plan, above 1 GB of free data consumed each month.

5. For the Postpaid Subscribers only 1 GB free data usage would be permitted for 6 months on 2G and 3G network as available from the date of activating the offer & the Postpaid Subscriber would be charged for data usage in excess of 1 GB data consumed each month till the end of the offer, as per the regular data plan (data usage will be available across VEL network in India except J&K).

a. However in case of the first month, if the data offer gets activated after the 1st day of that month the subscriber will receive data on a prorated basis for the number of days remaining during the month.

b. E.G.: If the data offer is activated on 18th March,2011, then for the first month the data will get calculated as 13days/31days*1GB = 0.42GB.

A Vodafone Essar Company

c. For existing Vodafone Live! & Vodafone Mobile Connect (‘VMC’) users: The postpaid Subscriber would be charged for data consumption as per the postpaid subscriber’s regular data plan, post 1 GB of free data is consumed.

If its prepaid its activation date is first day

If its post paid then its prorated basis for first month and 5months there after

Here prepaid has obvious advantage
[Galaxy S II General] PRATS228:
form where did u get ur hd games are they free or paid...??

n um having a serious issue few days back i updated my firmware through kies after that everything is working fine except Wifi sometimes it works and most of the time it doesnt. before upgrading there was no such problem.. wat should i do??
[Galaxy S II General] netcitizen:
thanks for the info.

meanwhile i think i read the same document here http://www.vodafone.in/documents/pdfs/samsung_galaxy_sII_tnc.pdf
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have Vodafone Sim in my mobile with 6 months 1gb Internet for free..This is 2nd month for me and from Morning it is giving Edge speed but not 3G speed (H/H+/3g).When I switch off my mobile and restart it than it gives 3g speed or swift to Flight Mode and stay for few minutes and than switch off Flight Mode but once I switch off the Mobile Internet and switch it on it goes back to Edge..I thought I did something wrong with settings and did a Factory reset still same problem...What do you think is it a setting problem and Service Provider Problem?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Both download and paid versions..

For your problem try a factory reset
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Mee too have similar problem today,many times it going to E instead of 3g/H
[Galaxy S II General] darkmessiah:
guys.. anyone have any idea bout wen we are due to get an update to 2.3.4 for our S2's?
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Hmm..So u want only 3G "ON" always right? Not EDGE..I actually switch on the data connection only when needed,so i don't quite face this problem.

For only 3G speeds, did u try settings-->Wireless networks-->mobile networks--> Network mode--> WCDMA only.

I think this should work..coz by default it may be on GSM & WCDMA and hence may keep toggling between those 2.
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Ok..now I've waited enough for the 2.3.4 update.I thought it would be available by the end of August,so I'll directly update to 2.3.4.But still not available :(

So finally,I'm updating it to KF3 since many people have confirmed to get great battery life on KF3.

My phone has disastrous battery life.I charge it every single day.There have been occasions where I had to charge it twice in a day.

I haven't rooted my phone so can't freeze unwanted apps.I installed Better Battery Stats.Everything else seems OK..but Social Hub is just eating away my battery.

I'm gonna update using KIES..so a little worried coz many say it gets stuck up in between.Any suggestions or precautions needed to take before/while updating ( that you guys must have encountered despite doing everything right??)

ithehappy..I'ld really like your opinion in particular coz you've posted proofs of you getting terrific battery life.

BTW how do you get those graphs?? Juice plotter??

Thnx..Regards
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I am not getting terrific battery life mate, I just found out what processes were running on background with BBS. So hail to the dev of BBS.

What's Juice Plotter? You just need to press Home+Power button to take a screenshot.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] MaulikS:
Lol..well i was not talking abt the screenshot..but the graph that slowly declines from the top indicating your usage.I never noticed it was right there.I only used to look at the process-wise usage displayed below that graph.(Sry, my ignorance :P)

I'm not rooted so can't freeze apps.But hoping KF3 should atleast help improve battery life.(atleast by a meagre amount)

We don't have a camera firmware update yet,do we?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Frankly KF3 is the best firmware atm IMO, it removed the WiFi sharing bug, AOS bug is rarely there, no pink spot in photos, it's overall a great and stable firmware. Big big improvement from previous KE7.

Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
How to restore Samsung apps and social hub in CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Download speed and browsing speed are the same. Browsing is nothing but downloads of web pages. The numbers speedtest shows are real. Now sometimes we get lower download speeds than what speedtest shows. This depends on the servers. For instance, Downloads from sites like hotfile are lower than what we get on speedtest while when you download from market it is on par with what you see in your speedtest. :)
[Galaxy S II General] naturist:
Cool. I am getting Idea prepaid no tomorrow. :D Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You can't, Its not compatible... As CM9 team build this rom from sources and samsung wont allow them to use these apps
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
You dont get bored with ICS blues/cyans??? lol.. ;)Wish vert made it in other colors..
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
No. neither can you any of the sammy apps.

telling from 3rd jan CM9 build experience though.

But the inbuilt email app is awesome.

The scrollaable widget is also cooooool.

Back on GB VK (amazing battery life must say) rom....But miss the ICS days....Super Refined OS..Cool in everyway..I believe its 2nd most coolest OS in the market right now after WIN Mango..Will be back once everything works good...

BTW if you could, please check if you can disable the cappacitive key-backlights now in this build ? And if the vibration only call tone is the stupid pulse vibrate so u can't pick the call up if you are in vibration silent mode..
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Samsung apps should not work on AOSP roms. They are dependant on Touchwiz framework and will only work on Samsung ROMs. If they could be restored then, everyone would have been able to get those free apps which are specially for our device. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
I like the TRON looks of it. Don't you like the holo theme of ICS? It's beautiful. :)
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Sorry, I used that theme for only tow days and uninstalled,

Do you know his full theme is available for donator's only,

I decided not to use his work in future.. rude but true!

The info was provide for Ravi as he is using it
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Hi folks, hru, how is the latest cm9
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Btw have we reached 1000 ? :p
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
TRON look is in CM9..which is cool..it embraces apps such settings,messages,phone,etc...but vert makes ics themes for GB..so the "holo" layout/theme is not applicable..The present ICS theme in "Blood Red" color would look nice
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You beat some one....
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Those extra things are just some high resolution icon packs. So yeah the theme is quite complete for we the free users. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
inbuilt email app?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Buddy from what i understand Vert spends a lot of time for his themes..so its natural for him to encourage donation..Atleast he is giving us basic ICS theme free... :D

BTW what extra do donators get?Some extra Icons right?or something else?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
everyone has their own thoughts, can't help it!!
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
I find it pretty similar to ICS. The numbers show how much people love his theme. ;)

Yeah it will also look good in Red.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@kachru

Reached thousand? With some race?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1000 pages?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
10000th post.......?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
No No. It's not about thoughts :P . I am saying, the paid stuffs are some extra icons pack made by him.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Lol lol 10000 is mine to hold: D
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
OMG! I just missed it. :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If he gives everything and then ask for donation wont it be fine?

anyway It is only my opinoin as i said everyone has own thoughts
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.........Email app is not working for me in CM9
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Ya, You and Ravi were talking about someting I guess the subject was 1000 Page!!
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
They were talking abt 10000th post.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Totally agreed. If everything came for free, there won't be any paid apps on Android Market. :D All they could do is, put a donation link in app description to get some money. :P
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Did you get any connection yet?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Speedtests shows connection speeds and download/web page loading speed is different...

Download speed is 1/10th of the connection speed in most cases...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ordered from bsnl site waiting for them to come home
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
No. It's not like that. What speedtest shows is the highest download speed you get from the nearest server( It's obvious that the nearest server will serve you the best speed.)

And speedtest.net app does nothing but downloads a file from it's server and measures the speed accordingly.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Cool. Let me know what speeds do you get. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Sure.........
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
If that's the case,why my pc shows speed on speedtest.net about 512KB/s - 1MB/s?

My plan is of 50-60 KB/s and its capped at that then no better server or god's server can break that and download a file at higher speed
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Look at it again. It can't be 512 k"B"ps to 1 M"B"ps.

1M"B"ps = 8Mbps.

512k"B"ps= 4Mbps

You speed has to be 512 k"b"ps to 1 m"b"ps.

There's a huge difference betweem B=Byte and b= bit.

1Byte= 8bits

So if your speedtest shows 512 kbps(kilobits per second) to 1mbps(megabits per second), then your speed is 60-120 kBps(KiloBytes per second)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
I know that

But i just forgot that i had installed a hack and tried to increase my speed but it only effected the speedtest results

/my bad
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
I must say that the cm9 looks awesome compared to the ics themed lp6 roms,and seemed to be more stable.

In fact, were it not for the video related issues, I would have seriously considered using it a daily driver.which at least for me doesn't seem to be the case with lp6 based ROM's..
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Well this is not market:D

This is xda, and Afaik xda won't allow business: P
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
The theme is free. He is not selling it. Now who pays for a pack of blue icons? No one.

The soulbound icon pack is his appreciation for the donators.

You can use airdroid if you have wifi at home. Samba file sharing app is also nice.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Thanks will try
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Overall CM9 is awesome... Asphalt 6 won't work :(
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
MTP works but you cannot copy files to memory. Like i said, go for samba file sharing or airdroid.

If you need file manager the install file expert. I find is nice abd easy to use.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Raviteja what i like ia this rom is still experimental one and still look at the smoothness.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I think asphalt is not ics compatible atm.
