16,000 should be a decent price for the 16 gb version.

Though I suspect it'll be around 20k.

Which Tool or fonts look good ON CM9

Previously on GB or CM7

i used many fonts but that dowsnt look good on ICS roms

and which Tool To use
[Galaxy S II General] emceeb:
I have a blackberry curve a ipad 2 and S2 so needless to say I have dealt with blackberry ios and android smart phones. You can label me a S2 fanboy but anyone who has used S2 will tell you this is the best value for money phone if you are into rooting and stuff. It has got great dev support a big community with people ready to help. Personally when S3 came out I wanted it so bad but I made my mind that I will buy S3 (if I do) without selling my S2. I am into computers a lot and bought a high end PC with just the graphic card costing me 7 K BUT I am rarely on it coz of my S2. It is trully a one of a kind device. Easy to use easier to mod and the best part is even after almost a year I am not bored with my device. So in conclusion which I don't need to stress is that I wouldn't trade my S2 for anything.
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
U have moisture/dirt on the port. Ur phone thinks its getting charged.

take a glossy paper ( like coupons/ movie tickets ) roll it up...press it and make it the size of the usb port....insert and clean.

Works everytime i face this stupid issue. Wonder why they cant have those pop up USB covers like the old phones these days. My Jet2 had that.

A Lil Help!

Guys,

Need some advice/recommendations before I purchase a headphone/headset for my I9100. Unfortunately, someone at office stole my Sony XB21EX headphones. :(

I am considering to buy a stereo headset within 2k INR preferably one with in-built Mic and Call Buttons. PS: I am an audiophile with limited wallet strength :p

Choices are :

1) Again, Sony XB21EX

2) Plantronics BackBeat 216

3) Samsung EHS60

4) Samsung EHS63

If there are any other ones you guys can recommend, it will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Anees :good:

[Galaxy S II General] sriharsha_m:
Hi guys, can you please confirm the product code on your S2.

I bought a S2 in Aug-11, which was replaced several times due to screen issue, I gave my phone again for warranty last month as the display issue came back again, when I gave it for warranty the product code used to be GT-I9100LKAINU, now a few days after getting my phone back, I was backing up EFS via EFS pro and I observed that the product code of my phone is changed to I9100RRDINU. What does this mean? They changed the board?? IMEI remains the same, but the back sticker seems to have been tampered.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Yes, they changed your board.

Hi Dhanabalan,

Congrats on your first post

Sorry for such a late reply. Manichikonga :)

Being a friend to Bala and having heard his opinion i feel u already wud have heard a lot.

I was in the same dilemma when i had to get my S1. Now i have an S2 and still never ever thought about a Laptop (its been two years).

With a smartphone like SGS2 there will be no need to go for a Lap/PC (except when you want to Flash with ODIN for the first time to gain Root access . After that its going to be CWM/Mobile ODIN...).

Unless u love to play high-end games only in 17-19inches screen it is always a safe bet to go with smartphones :)

So my suggestion- Smartphone any day. But do consider going for model like GS3 which is now HOT in the market and will have an extended support for another 1 yr in terms of upgrade. Also Bala will keep updating you with loads of hacks and development in GS3 once u join his league :P

(PS: Aiyoo paavam avare conpuse aitaru)

[Galaxy S II General] sriharsha_m:
I had three replacement phones & countless display changes and was offered a full refund twice by Samsung India and I never had spent a penny. Just a few mails & phone calls.

iirc consumer court cases aren't cleared so quickly and you don't need 15k to file a case. All you need is somewhere around 500 bucks and a lot of patience.

For those having issues with your sgs2, just contact ceo's office from Samsung India's Site.

Stock. But siyah did the work :D
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
I have the m version. I can use it to pick up & disconnect calls

& the mic obviously works. Also if you're music player supports headset controls like jetAudio or Poweramp you can use it to pause/play music or skip to the next or pervious track. It's a pretty convenient feature when traveling. Saves you the hassle & risks of removing the phone in jam packed trains (I'm in Mumbai, hence the trains) while traveling. It was my pleasure to help. Enjoy the headphones, they are the best that money can buy within that budget.

Afaik you don't need a lawyer to either file or fight a case in a consumer court as you can do everything yourself. It just cost Rs 500 to file the case but I maybe wrong cause I've filed a case before.

Galaxy S III will get Android 4.1 soon Samsung test Android 4.1 for Galaxy S II

The insiders of SamMobile reported that Samsung is testing Android 4.1 for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy S II.

Samsung is almost ready to update their Galaxy S III devices to Android 4.1.

There is no date planned yet but it could be around August / September.

More good news is for the Galaxy S II. Samsung started the first tests with success.

If Samsung will update the Galaxy S II is still a question, but because the Galaxy S II is still very hot the chances are very high.

According to the insider of SamMobile Samsung will update the Galaxy S II if the porting to Android 4.1 on the Galaxy S II goes well.

There are no words yet about any other devices.

But the insider told us that Samsung will update the HIGH-END devices more and more. That’s why the chances for the Galaxy Note will be bigger than ever.

There is still no public statement of Samsung about the Android 4.1 updates.

We of SamMobile put our bets on these three devices after the Galaxy S III.

- Galaxy S II

- Galaxy Note

- Galaxy Tab 7.7

But apple probably will ban devices in many areas even though temporarily like they did with the Galaxy tab...

Yes but I think the latest update to CWM that has been merged has rectified that issue so just wait for today's nightly & see if it's fixed but do that at your own risk. Apparantly if you don't have an external sd card there doesn't seem to be any issues with CWM.
