The difference is

A themed/modded/tweaked/deodexed rom goes to android development

And real development like Kernel/tool/CM7/CM9 build from source go in original android development
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Then why checkrom is listed in original Dev. Thread?

Edit: I think it is listed because of DK kernel, developeded by team checkrom

I am confused which one would be better, the Anti glare one or the normal one!
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Hows it? Better than s2? And are you using it as your main phone and s2 as your secondary phone? I heard you cant install games from outside in wp7, so you have to download them from marketplace. Is that true?
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I am not a big fan of the matte ones. IMO they generally always reduce the clarity. And the SGS2 has such a lovely screen... At that price you can always try both.

I invested in the costlier scratchgard one and after 6+ months of use, am very happy: It is extremely clear - nobody can even make out there is a screen protector on unless you look at the cutouts and that too closely. No scratches on the protector itself, even though I wipe it often. No loss of clarity or touch sensitivity.

Which is the best kernel to use with stock rom to get the best battery life ? Siyah or NEAK ?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I think siyah is better. U can give a try

Edit: you are all ready running siyah. Try neak , you will find difference which one is better.

[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
used NEAK as well, cant really figure out which is better. Neak doesn't support CWM but has voodoo modules. Vice versa for siyah. But battery wise, which is better ? Any suggestions from people who've tested both?

Please do not consider this a spam. I posted it in the some other thread and then I stumbled upon this thread which for Indian S2 owners. I could not delete my earlier post. Guys need to ask this silly question – Rumours are that Samsung is going to launch the Galaxy S3 at MWC which takes place towards the end of February. After its announcement do you guys think prices of S2 should fall? I was thinking of waiting for a month and buying S2 post announcement of S3.How much do you think the prices will fall (1k-2k)? I have a feeling that S3 will be costlier than S2 – probably north of 35k (in India). In that scenario, I think S2 prices should fall right? Or I am being too stupid in thinking like that and that I should just go and buy the S2 right now. I was keen on Galaxy R but no shops in Mumbai seems to have it in stock. I know Flipkart has it but I am not keen on online shopping for mobiles.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
In case S3 is launched, SII's price will drop by a max of 2k's. S3 itself, would be priced above galaxy note, i.e. around 35k mark.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Price down for sure after s3 launch. How much fall, can't say. SIII will not come before June in India as rumoured on various website. Before that Nexus prime will hit the shelves

sent from TTalk
[Galaxy S II General] saanil:
My Question is: Should I buy S2 now or wait for prices to fall down? Also does anyone know where Galaxy R is available in Mumbai? I was thinking of using Galaxy R for some time and then switching to S3 when it is launched. I am still confused between S2, R and LG2X? Help me out!
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Go for s2 now. This is most happening phone these days. U can change later when s3 launch

sent from TTalk
[Galaxy S II General] adi0786:
Wait for s3. Also better to buy from online store rather than waiting for 6 months.
[Galaxy S II General] saanil:
S2 indeed is the most happening phone for now. Even a year (well almost) after its launch, I think there is no device which is better than this. I will be going to stores today to check out this (Aplha in Vile Parle, Croma and Samsung stores). I will ask for GalaxyR's availability as well as S2 prices.
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
Don't Question Galaxy S2, Galaxy R is junk

S2 is the way to go currently, if you are deciding between the two.

Proximity Sensor Issue

Guys, I need your help....

My Gs2 screen has lost Its oleophobic coating at some places and today the service center has replaced it with a new screen. As per they have told me, they didn't mess with my system and Rom. But after the replacement i saw that the screen has become noticeably dark.

Now the real issue. My Proximity sensor is acting weird. when i make a call, the screen goes off and wont turn on even after the call is cut. i need to plug my phone to the charger to get my screen on. When i receive a call, the screen will not turn off. It will be lit even when its close to the face. I checked the Self Test mode and noticed that the screen is green and it vibrates when i test sensor. In normal cases, it should do that only when you put your finger above the proximity sensor.

So all my expert friends out there and android Gurus,

1. Is my Proximity sensor broken?

2. or can it be related to software, some thing related to the rom and kernel?

3. Can this be fixed from our end rather than taking it to the service center again because the self test mode was 'Greek and Latin' to the service center guy. He got nervous when i showed him the screen and told me that we don't actually use this kind of stuffs to test the phone :P lol.....
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ gowind

make a full nandroid backup and reset completely, if the sensor doesnt work after a reset then it should be a hardware problem.

use zdevice test from market to test the sensor b4 that.

also install "hidden features-free sammy edition" from market and enter "quick test menu" and test your proximity sensor there. There is a code to enter the test menu directly, but this software will help you a lot for other purposes too
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
Thanks Bala, I did a complete wipe and reflashed my ROM, which is BatistaFHV3.0. still the same. will try zdevice and let you know the result. by the way, can this be because of some faulty assembly by the service center people, may be some dust or something.....?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Considering how dumb our service center guys are there might be a possibility, try with hidden features first, it's the native testing method
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
That's useless

U have ur mobile for usb and wifi tethering

In that usb dongle u have to put a normal sim card and recharge it with normal 3g plan as used in ur mobile sim card
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

That's a waste of money .
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
What?........
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
Hey Bala, tested proximity sensor with zdevice

So far what i have seen is that nothing changes when i move my hands over the sensors:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
3G data cards uses the normal 3G sim we put in our phone. Use reliance in your phone, activate a 3G plan. Our sgs2 is already a 21Mbps device. Use wifi hotspot or usb tethering to use internet on your laptop.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh...but I want a unlimited plan.....Reliance giving unlimited plan in 3g?
[Galaxy S II General] eswar6280:
There is no unlimited plan in 3g till now ...might be they introduce some plans to provide 3g at cheaper rates since they planned to launch 4g in second half of 2012...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
When you move the hands you should be seeing a reading change there. The green bar should disappear if you hide the sensor with hands
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
If you don't travel a lot, why not a broadband connection? It gives unlimited plans at affordable cost
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Thanks guys..I was confused I was thinking reliance giving unlimited plan at 3G speed........Guys What is the best plan in 3G or 2G(If speed is good) any service provider is ok...I have Idea,VF,Airtel sims

there are 2/3 problems 1 is Need to call there CC team every time if you lost connection for hours (if 2-3 hrs I don't mind)..2nd I hate Broadband connection they never worked for me (tried Airtel,Reliance,Sify they failed...BNSL worked but my area is in Blacklist :() 3rd Sometimes I travel so I want to have net that time (don't want to use mobile everytime)

[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Why not try BSNL evdo card? I am using it since a year. They give unlimited downloads(actually unlimited) with 3.1 MBps speed. It has all India free roaming.

Now see, all the operators claim speeds like 21 Mbps and ****, has anyone seen anything like that in his life? The highest I've seen till date is 5.6 Mbps with Airtel 3G in hyderabad.

BSNL EVDO claims 3.1 Mbps speed and actually gives about 2 mbps all the time i.e something like 250kBps. That will give you downloads of about a GB in an hour. Quite good, isn't it?

Who tried counter strike ???
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
Well Right from Day one i had my screen protector on and i have always noticed a small lesion at the center. i was of the assumption that it might be some micro bubbles. after three months i changed the screen guard and the same lesion appeared at the same place. a few days back i gained the courage to remove my screen guard and use it like that and i saw that it was actually the screen issue. no coating there or the coating might have lost somehow. however i don't understand how it might have happened....?.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Does anyone have any idea if the bezel(side frame) of the sgs2 is glued to the screen or not? I mean if I buy a full housing for 25 odd dollars and retain this screen, will it change my bezel? It got dents now, as I don't like using cases.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Unlimited at just 750/- Nice...........Total How much I need to pay 1st? and only 750/- per month or anything extra?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
1499 for the device and then 750 every month. It sums up to something like Rs.803.xx after taxes, my dad pays it. I don't know the exact amount. :P
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Also before purchasing, you need to ask at the BSNL office if your area has EVDO signal reception. Big cities have them all through out the city.

Edit: Looks like you are from hyderabad. I get full reception at Masab Tank.

Extended Battery Announced

Hey guys as you may already know that Samsung has officially announced 2000 mAh battery for our I9100 and I'd like to know when and where in India we could have one of that. Anyone knows any online stores like eBay or else please share your feedback here.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-re...galaxy-s-ii-gives-you-all-the-juice-you-need/

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Hmmm, 20% more battery is nice, but seems to make the phone much thicker! To each his own I guess.

You should give SetCPU another chance rather than going for stuff like this ;)
[Galaxy S II General] karan999:
Read less about Hacre n his kernels...but could u just elaborate on wot u just said ?

Dont buy unless there is a positive responce to the battery.

SetCPU din do justice to me.it woud be great if u share your setCPU settings.Maybe i should fiddle more with it.Well, im waiting for my Mugen Power 3200mAh battery. :)

Regards,

Karan.
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Yup.. Am waiting for it too, hopefully comes to India soon with a good price :)

If anyone finds it in any Indian store (offline or online) please post it here.. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Read the first 5 posts on Hacre's thread (in the android development section). You'll know what I mean

My SetCPU settings -My CPU doesn't like UVing a lot, so this is what it runs most stably with, no app crashes, no issues.

Voltages

200 MHz 825 mV

500 MHz 900 mV

800 MHz 975 mV

1000 MHz 1100 mV

1200 MHz 1175 mV

Every CPU is different, what works for me may not work for you. The best way to check for a stable setting is to keep going down in steps of 25 mV from you stock voltages till you find something stable. Use "stability test" from the market and usually a successful 30-45 min run would indicate stable settings.

Have a charger handy as the Stability Test uses up more than 1% per minute of battery :eek:.

I usually use a Main Profile of 200-800 MHz with On Demand governor as everything runs smoothly at those frequencies for me. I also have 200-500 Conservative setting for when the phone is sleeping.

Again, what works for me might not work for you.
[Galaxy S II General] peregrinations:
Can you/someone elaborate on this? I tried to get the promotional offer activated on my phone and was asked to furnish the receipt for my phone purchase and having done that, am still waiting for Vodafone to get back to me.

For most cases, there are 2 versions - Korean and International (Seen this for SGP and CaseMate for sure). So European and Indian should be the same.

Best way to clear this up that I can think of would be to ask someone on the SGP website (They would have a customer care or something)

Don't know how good the networks are in your area, but I usually get 7-8mbps with Vodafone these days.

Every network like Airtel, vodafone are improving their services day on day, though I was a pet of Airtel for 8 years, used MNP to vodafone coz Airtel never crossed 4mbps using 3g, my friend bashed me with Vodafone with 8.4x mbps speed and that day I realized 3g can cross 5-6mbps easily.

Not sure if anyone paid any attention to what I had posted a few pages back. But I was able to circumvent the problem somehow, accidentally :D.

2. Flashed KL1 modem.

3.made a nandroid backup.

4. Flashed ICS Resurrection ROM, after wiping multiple times.

5. Reverted back to my older ROM and voila 3g. :D

So, enjoying 3G till jan end when my plan will expire. Ofc , most likely this was bought out by the first point. :p

Hey everyone!!

Does everyone here already knows, that you can wash your screen protectors???

Some days back, i got my screen protector, and i applied it.

But, there was a bubble, which kept annoying me. So, i read a blog, which stated that it can be washed, and re-applied. So, i washed the screen guard(ofcourse after peeling it off) in warm water & soap, and then let it dry. When it dries, i re-applied, its clear now, no bubbles at all.

BTW, Note that the screen protector i used was washable. So, check that before trying.

Anyways, i thought i should share it.
