I need to transfer a number of video files to my phone from my laptop.Bluetooth transfer is taking too long. I think tranferring via USB will be much faster. DO you need KIES to transfer stuff to your phone? Can I directly connect my phone via USB and transfer without installing KIES (mass storage or something?). Also I have a folder in which all the videos are present. Can I copy the entire folder or do I need to copy all the videos and then transfer them? And in which folder to paste these videos (I mean which folder we will see when we connect pur phone to laptop?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
enable debugging mode and connect your usb cable, your internal and external sd will be dedected as mass storage device and after that you can copy stuffs just like your pen drive.

Note: either install kies or usb drivers separately. its needed for windows to detect your mobile
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You don't need kies by the way to access the phone as mass storage mode. The windows will install all the necessary files by itself.

Need Help finding i9100 in Mumbai

Hey guyz, I need some help. I want to buy a new Galaxy S2 (i9100) in Mumbai, but wherever i went they were selling i9100G. One shop told me he has i9100, but when i saw the box it was G version. He even tried to sell me G saying its better and all crap and telling me only G will get ICS and all..I was like stop lying asshole.. I tried Alfa and all the shops around it.

So I need help from you guys, Does anyone know where I would be able to buy i9100 Galaxy S2 in Mumbai and at what price??

Thanks.

P.s.:- Alfa is selling Galaxy Nexus for around 32K without bill if anyone is interested.
[Galaxy S II General] 3xeno:
That's terrible. I am glad one of my friends did not heed my advice (I was telling him that Pre-Diwali, the phone was available for 27K, and during the new year, for 29K, so, waiting would be better for a drop in price) and decided to buy the phone anyway inspite of its high cost. Thankfully, he got the I9100 from Paragon Stores, Thane (Week 3 of January). You can give that a try as well, if it suits you.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
There is two ways to active USB storage mode in GS2:

1. Settings>wireless and networks>USB utilities>tap on "connect store to pc">connect the data cable>then tap on connect again. This is long but I feel safe.

2. Setting>Applications>Development>Tick on USB debugging and now connect to PC. Short but above is suggested.

Guys is it really okay to be in USB debugging mode all the time and to connect to phone to PC in that mode? Because the phone will give warnings about security and things when enabling the debugging mode.

I got my display replaced today under warranty and this fu(king n00b have not correctly attached my proximity sensor:mad::mad:

Display not turning off during calls,have to go tomorrow again and have to go back to DDKL1 from CM9 again:mad:

I told him i specially ordered i9100 from outside city but he says i9100G have better processor,i didn't say him anything because i wanted my warranty and had to behave like a n00b(i9100G have much problems like cannot connect to camera,laggy,bad multitasking,slower processor,bad 3D performance,weaker GPU)

BTW if u replace display it replaces the whole mobile from inside,like only one small chip and back cover is left as old stuff...

If u have to pay costs Rs.7200

I said my factory warranty is till 31-10-2013(Got this from SamMobile) but he said its only till one year from the date of purchase i.e. from 26-12-2011 to 25-12-2012

hi, i want to ask about the galaxy s2 i9100g, i was going to buy the s2 but i found that they only have the G ... my main reason to choose the gs2 was its mali-400 gpu which was able to run almost any video without problems (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM6sPTcFpAc)

so can anyone confirm is the G version capable of running mkv videos (720p and sometimes hi10p)

I purchased it. Its awesome. Super smooth. No lag. Using kovdev's ics theme from market on it. But I have a question that such a smoothness is there even when force gpu rendering option is off. So what exactly that option do in ics? And is Adw using hardware acceleration automatically or do i have to enable it using that option?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
force gpu acceleration is only for apps which doesnt makes use of gpu acceleration.

in ics apps can make use of gpu acceleration by setting

android:hardwareAccelerated="true"

in the manifiest file of the app.

i am old school too. On first go didn't like touch based recovery.

Hii everybody. In a big problem here.

Got a MHL cable from ebay. Supposed to be official SAMSUNG adaptor.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/170773709311...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2211wt_1139

And a high speed universal HDMI cable.

Now my problem is that when I connect this HDMI cable to the MHL and to the Charger and the mobile, it doesn't work the way it is supposed to be.

It connects fine to my TV(Toshiba HDTV) and mirrors the display, but only for few seconds. The screen on the TV goes completely blacked out, while the display on mobile is fine. Now I have to disconnect the MHL and connect again to the mobile to get the mirroring on the TV back. Again after few minutes the same happens. I can see the mobile charging via USB and even though the display drops on the TV, the TV is still in the HDMI mode(a black screen). Coz when I disconnect the MHL completely the screen on TV turns blue(indicating no input).

So this shud not be the case of loose connection.

Now can anybody help me diagnose the problem here.

Is it the MHL?

Is it the HDMI cable.(Although HDMI works perfectly with my laptop and TV)?

Is it the Charger? (Using samsung's box charger)

Is it the mobile, hardware or firmware? (on DDKL1 official release)
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Make sure its original charger

Try the same setup on another HDTV and see if this happens, if it does, then its MHL(Or maybe try a different HDMI cable?)

Its not because of the DDKL1 firmware as its official release
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
it does not even show that it is trying to connect. here is what i have done.

i do not have mobile internet activated but have the city map downloaded using wifi.

i was in a taxi, trying to get my location. but it was only showing the last location. ie home.

the gps thing was not even blinking(indicating that the device is looking for satellites)
