you will be eligible, but when will you update next would be a big question :p

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

you can easily monitor your broadband usage with "du meter" software.(this software simply saved my bucks when bsnl wrongly charged me for usage) you have to make a request to bsnl via letter to change your connection to "multiplay". Internally they will call it as conversion from "p1" system to "p2". They will change it at the beginning of a month.

one morething you will have occasional speed bursts upto 700 kbps when the download starts ;)

I'll go for check rom revolution hd 4.0 and then chriselko since bala is a dear dear friend too (hope I spelled it right)
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
What do u mean by that?

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

But it doesnt have a .tar.md5 file it has some .img and .bin files
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
what i meant is samsung is poor in giving updates, it will take a long time to get another update. understood?
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
That's cause you've never given to many thanks ..... Lol :) the limit is five
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it seems you have extracted the tar/md5 file itself

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

oh! ill surely give one when i feel its worth for me :p (dont get me wrong for that bro)

i thought checkrom wont suit you cos all the customization depends on the rom kitchen, whereas other roms such as criskelo comes with preinstalled theme + mods + stuffs. you can choose :)

Edit: im going to try how much thanks i can give ;):p

Edit2: only 8 thanks it seems
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Ha ha lol I was just kidding :p

More over this means you are more self reliant than others here ;)

Guys, removed my screen guard today as I have ordered a new one from flipkart (the anaerobic model) , the bare screen is silky smooth I love it.

Actually the problem came after I flashed the XWKE1 after I had already flashed the XWKL1, hoping to get the XWKL1 officially via kies.

But after flashing XWKE1 my phone didnt start and kept playing the startup animation again and again. So I again flashed the XWKL1, everything worked alright but now its not detecting any type of USB connection

Backup app for non-rooted phones

Guys,

Can you suggest some free app which can backup/restore contacts/sms/call logs without any issues, for NON-rooted phones? I tried a few but they screwed my contacts. Kies backup/restore is also not fail safe. I can use Outlook/Google to sync up contacts but I am looking for some neat app which can do this. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I had the matt finish screen guard earlier. M thinking to order this one.

Is there any difference b/w anti-glare and matt finish??

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

My backup pro

Its the best one i have used.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
For sms backup you can try this: I recommend you to use SMS Backup & Restore v 4.7.

Visit the links from your android phone.

SMS Backup & Restore v 4.7 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore )

For contacts backup this is the BEST way: Open contacts app>press menu>import/export> export to SD card. Very easy and compete contacts backup.

Call log backup, I haven't used any.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
try backups from go sms for sms, you can normally export all your contacts from the default contact apps and later restore it. no idea for call logs without a root.

edit:

as harsha said sms backup and restore is also a good app. one drawback i noted with it was, whenever we make a backup it makes a full backup whereas in gosms it only backups the new sms and appends it to the old list thus saving time.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That I dint know. Handy!

By the way you people have not at all tried to replace those ugly green head smileys in the stock messaging app with something yellow round heads? Not by installing gosms or such, but by actually replacing the icon image in messaging.apk.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
did you see the screenshot i posted from ics regarding smileys?

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

sorry mate , have no idea about matt finish in screen guard :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol I did. But they are still green heads but less ugly and with hollow mouth and eyes :p Before buying my GS2, Nokia released smileys for messaging for through first time in 10 years for s60 versions like for 5800, 5230, n97. I had decided not to buy GS2 for this lol as GS2 had ugly ones :p Always like those Nokia smileys.

So I read a guide somewhere in XDA about replacing the images in messaging.apk and its done :) if only I can grab those Nokia gif's.
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Please let me know how the screen guard is. I love the feel of the screen as it is, and am thinking of keeping it that way unless I can get a good anti-fingerprint screen guard, which doesn't distorts the feel or look of the screen.
[Galaxy S II General] adi8800GTX:
Hey guys i'm looking to update my S2 to XWKL1 through odin.I've done a lot of reading but i'm having a few doubts..:(

1)Is this the right firmware i'm looking at ?(from intratech's thread)

XWKL1

Firmware info

PDA:XWKL1

PHONE: DDKL1

Date: 13/12/2011

Android 2.3.6

INU (India)

XWKL1 Stock Kernel

Password: intratech@XDA

2)Do i need to flash the above stock kernel separately after the firmware?

3)Do i need to flash this Indian CSC from intratech after doing all of the above?

India ODDKL1 CSC

Thanks in advance.Sorry for asking a lot of questions but i dont want my S2 to turn a paperweight..:DAlso this is my first time doing any kind of update on the phone..:o
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Matt finish will not have a smooth surface, I did not like the matt / rough finish of the interface layer. The screen guard here will be smooth, very close to the actual phone surface.. In matt finish even the screen quality is a bit dull.

I do not like the matt finish screen guard because of the friction it causes while using the phone.. I feel the normal screen guard mentioned here is way superior!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1.thats the right one

2.no need to flash the stock kernel separately(it will be flashed along with your rom)

3. you can flash that csc.

you wont turn you s2 into something as long as we people are here ;)
[Galaxy S II General] srikat:
1) Yes.

2) No.

Pasting from that thread:
[Galaxy S II General] 3xeno:
1) Yes that is right

2) No, it includes the stock kernel

3) Again no. When you install the package in Odin, you get the stock original CSC. (Where did you get that though? It is not posted with the ROM itself)

The kernel and CSC are provided for backup purposes, example you root / add another kernel, and then you wish to go back, you can use these packages instead of flashing the whole ROM again.

And don't worry too much. I updated to that ROM (KL1), and it was the first ever update on my phone as well, and it all went smoothly. Just follow everything to the letter what intratech posts, and there should be no issues whatsoever.

EDIT: Too slow again, ah well...
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I like matt finish. It just takes a day or two to sink in. No fingerprints, nothing.. I simply love it now. Individual opinion differs..

@3xeno

The CSC is there on the first page of intratech's official firmware thread..at the end after all posts on the firmware..
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
even the home screens are cyclic as the applications used to be, i.e. 3 - 1 vice-versa..but i do not like this, the background switching is odd..

Also during scroll in call log etc..there is a blue tint showing up if we have reached the end. I feel that the interface is faster than 2.3.3...new icon for voice command and couple of tutorials too..

The quick access bar show the sound mode as silent mode, even though my ringtone is active and vibration is in-active
[Galaxy S II General] ankitjain*:
Yeah lots of good improvements , hope battery kicks off good.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
▬ kl1 ▬

I hardly notice any difference, didn't expect any actually. Anyone wanna come from KK5 or further, I don't think there is any reason to flash this unless you wanna own an Indian ROM and some local languages maybe, I don't even know where are they located though ;)
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Upgraded to 2.3.6 via kies. Was on stock KF3.

Notification area is always showing silent mode. Even if phone is not in silent mode. Any idea how to fix it?

As far as UI changes go hate the new over scroll blue glow and don't like the bold font as well. Any chance of changing these without rooting / custom ROM.

Edit: removed one question, found solution.
[Galaxy S II General] ankitjain*:
Bro I straight away came from 2.3.3 last official firmware . So I feel many . ;-):-P
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
1- That's a new feature, I like it actually.

2- Go to Swype settings, Advanced Settings- Word suggestion- Un-tick it. Auto correction will disables as well.

Blue Overscroll can be changed, but you'll need Root for that.

I didn't mean you, just said my op ;)

You'll notice some changes, that's correct.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
^ Wait, how is that a feature?

Edit: I disabled those options in Swype but it still shows suggestions and asks to add to dictionary when I type 'KF3' for example.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Go to setting>lang and keyboard>samsung keypad> un check XT9
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Thats unchecked too. I even restarted but swype still insists on showing suggestions. The only thing disabled is auto correct.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Give that try. Btwn did u checked this with Samsung keyboard?
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Samsung keyboard is fine but I'm used to swype :-(
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Generally this is belongs with T9 Dictionary, make sure to uncheck that,also go to Setting>application>Manage application>All>Swype Clear data. Hope this work
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Cleared the data as well, no luck.View attachment 831508

[Galaxy S II General] sids911:
Yeah, I wanna know this too! How is this is "feature"??
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I think people have started thinking that it's a feature. Even I would agree that it's a feature only. What else can it be? A bug like that? I also hate the overscroll glow. Bouncing effect is the best.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Hi Guys

Didn't wanna start another thread but just in case some of you don't know DON2 has been released as a Game on the android market.

DON2

Better to use your wifi for downloading it though ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
The Vibrate icon is there always if you select 'Vibrate always on' in settings, and if Ringer is Off, then Silent icon, don't know why it is hard to understand.

And yes, it is a feature, not that people think it is.

So which one would be more flop, the game or movie? :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I Think The Game would be flop, though its free.
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
I personally use touchpal, in place of swype.

Touchpal feels smoother.

It has curve feature too, which is exactly like swype.
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
150+ here too ;)

Movies + TV series (i follow 26 series currently :) )

All of it usually goes into one of my HDDs, at 6TB now! I feel like quite the maniac but in my defense I have a 4 mbps unlimited plan :)
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
URGENT!!

I updated to the KL1 firmware via kies and then after rebooting it showed a terminal like screen showing installing updates and all. Then it rebooted and showed the boot animation and then the screen with the big white "S". Now it is in an infinite boot sequence on the "S" screen. Doesn't boot up anymore. What do I do? Please help!! :(
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Take out battery and reinsert and try once.

If not then you have to go the odin way.Please check whether download mode is accessible..
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Yes, download mode is accesible. I reflashed it via Odin. Same thing. Nothing happens.
[Galaxy S II General] srikat:
I want to flash CheckROM and have these questions:

1. Is SD Card mandatory to install this ROM? I ask this because I get the impression that it is needed after watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYMAGhRyG0U.

2. I rooted using CF-Root. When I go to download mode, do not see CWM like the above video shows. Instead I see the standard download mode screen.

3. If the ROM must be placed in SD card to be flashed, I have to place XWKK5_CheckromRevoHD_V4.zip on the SD Card. Isn't it?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ srikat

1. yes, sd card is the source of the rom.

2. CWM will open only in recovery mode, download mode is same for all and you wont see any options like cwm there.

3. yes
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I don't think so when you open CWM UI it gives you the option of searching for the update package where ever it may be placed

The CWM menu comes when we boot into recovery and not download mode

Power+Home+Volume Up

Again not necessary to have an SD Card for the same keep it in the USB Space of the Internal memory...

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

I thought SD Card was not a mandatory requirement for a custom ROM that's absurd it should'nt be so .....

@bala btw i started a download of CRISKELO v34 was thinking of flashing it first but some how the download got interrupted overnight i'll probably flash over the weekend. I've never actually restored data from Titanium Backup and i hate setting up the google thing again and syncing data again ...... ithehappy mentioned doing an advanced restore from my CWM/Nandroid backup ?? whats that about ?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Wow..So you are not new to Odin..

Ok do these steps.Flash a kernel with recovery.(This one my magic kernel which takes me out of bootloop http://www.mediafire.com/?yxpq7aaabndtr9g But this one is the latest http://www.mediafire.com/?zv4kcnweha5n6z8.But it will give you yellow triangle.Keep a jig i handy ;)).I think after this your device will boot up normally.

If not,then Full wipe,Clear cache and dalvik and then flash your desired FW(You have contacts/messages backup right?)
[Galaxy S II General] :
OT

I'm going to the service centre today. Hope they fix it. If they can't. Then will try CWM. I'm not willing to flash a custom kernel :(
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
An external SDcard is not mandatory, you can very well keep the zip on internal memory and flash it through CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
what plan is that? and your isp? shed me some details pls :)

edit: just saw, its beam cable. is that a local isp?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yep its quite famous in HYD not sure of Bangalore though

http://www.beamtele.com/index.php
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
i should have mentioned it as internal sd, my bad .

external sd is optional as you said

yes in cwm advanced restore you can restore only your apps and leave the system as it is. For restoring apps with settings titanium backum is the better way, a simple batch restore will do it all.
[Galaxy S II General] devvfata1ity:
go to stock recovery by pressing vol up+ home + power all at the same time. In stock recovery do a factory reset. Bootloop will be solved :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I will not buy it till It provide service through USB..
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
man you should go for those plans without a second thought, just saw their tariff plans, wow, its mind blowing. None of the plans in my area comes near to that.:(
[Galaxy S II General] anujagg:
Thanks for pointing me to the go sms app, looks really better than the stock one :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Dis regard this :P
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I can't carry that everywhere I go right? and what is the instillation charges?.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Thanks for the link.

So basically Swype behaves like this in this version. It will show the distracting 'word suggestions' and 'add to dictionary' box even if there's no confusion about what was typed and even if you disable suggestions.

Hmm, better start looking for alternatives :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Thanx a ton man! I know I sound gay but I love you! :P

What kernel should I switch to? feel reluctant flashing Siyah.. was thinking bout SpeedMod? Using CheckROM... any recommendations?

When I mark Siyah kernel for download and select Apply, the download fails. Any ideas?

Kitchen server has some problems now and then. Go to siyah thread and download the latest siyah kernel manually and then flash via CWM.

Yup , thats why i removed the post .. install charges is RS 500

1. I used Titanium to freeze some stuff because of which something (date and time?) seems to be missing from the home screen. Can anyone tell me the name of app/service that I should unfreeze to get it back?

Thanks in advance.

2. When the screen gets locked, I currently have to swipe finger across in any direction firmly to get to the home screen. Is there any way I can get a more definitive/short action option to unlock? I guess what I am asking is where I can see and download alternate lock screens?

I'm having soft boot problems with titanium backup when i run it in the batch mode for all the APPS :( SAD
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It's for 4.0.3+ only not 2.3.6 or less
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Are you sure? Try restoring apps and app settings separately. Btw I have made loads of restore with TB, never had an issue. Whenever there is a new rom ill simply flash the rom, install TB, start batch restore and leave the mobile for 15 min. And after a restart my mobile will be ready with the new rom.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
That's one among the reason I left checkrom.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ srikat

Seeing from the screenshot it seems you have disabled the Samsung digital clock widget.

There are loads of alternative screenlock apps like widgetlocker, miui locker, aosp locker from jkay. Apart from widget locker the other two are free.

Let me try that with battery, time and internet at my disposal ........ :p :D :o
