Query regarding Car charger received from LetsBuy

Hi all,

First SGS2 is an amzing phone.. I had ordered from Letsbuy on 8th June. It took complete week to get it in Pune through Aramex. I had recived the phone in faulty condition. The display was leaking and had bubble from inside.. Finally managed to get replacement from Letsbuy, and got the replaced phone in good condition today. Really enjoying playing with it..

Among the freebies included from Letsbuy, I got the car charger which does not have the microUSB pin. It has a large samsung regualr pin. Did all get the same charger as mine? I have returned it to Letsbuy & will be asking for the MicroUSB car charger which actually fits the phone.

Please share your feedback on car charger received from Letsbuy.com
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
^^Can you please tell me did Letsbuy arranged to collect the faulty unit from your home or you had to send it back by yourself?

Guys 1 last Off topic question from me for today: Do you think DVR is useful or not much useful....I am asking this because I will Buy from a store or order online DTH HD but one thing stooped me HD or HD DVR ...what is better?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
anyday DVR unless you are really very much constraint on bugdet
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
thanks for the reply my friends. well i have put my sim in a nokia e75 and it got automatically connected to edge. i guess if 3g was working fine with my vodafone sim then 3g should have been activated automatically right. i played with the phone for some time but couldn't find any way by which i could switch 3g/2g settings in the phone. so i came into the assumption that if 3g was activated in my sim then as soon as i have put the sim in phone 3g should have been activated instead of 2g...

what do you guys think.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
iN SETTINGS > network > change to wcdma only and see

and also try to manually select to ideal network,if you able to manually select idea (VODAFONE IN) network, 3g is activated

If you are really sure that 3g is activated on your sim then,you should get another voda sim and see whether its abloe to connect to 3g or not

[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
This 3g sharing of towers is creating problem for roaming. e.g. recently when I was roaming, suddenly I had no outgoing call facility. When I manually selected Vodafone, it started working, but only till next tower change, when again it would not allow outgoing calls.

A friend told me to switch to gsm only (instead of auto) i.e. Edge, then this problem will not occur. Sure enough, when I switched to gsm only, no problems in making calls, but then again no 3g.

i ve rooted s2 ? whts next ?

i m on 2.3.3 ,rooted using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 ...
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's it. What else?

If you are interested then you could flash 2.3.5, XWKJ1.
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
will my s2 still be able to updated by kies ? if updated by kies i ll loose root ?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If you flash a 2.3.5 ROM you won't be able to update via Kies as 2.3.5 isn't released for India and thus you've to flash a different region ROM.

Root has nothing to do with Kies updates, so you will continue receiving them if you stick with your current ROM, which is KF3 I suppose.

You'll lose root as soon as you flash/update to a new ROM, be it Kies or Odin.

PS- Guys can anyone of you post the Market Updater.apk and .odex files? Saw a new release in Market, 3.3.1, I've deleted those files, have no backup, so....

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] superfast:
thanks for the usefull info thr :)

now one last question is it possible to backup xt9 mywords using titanium back up ?

i can see [USER DICT] User dictionary 2.3.3 in green color in titaniumbackup,if i back up this can i restore this data while on 2.3.5 ?

Hi all,

Anybody has any ideas to resolve this issue or is this a operator related problem. I tend to think that it not due to my operator as after deactivating the flight mode the data transmission starts again. This has become very frustrating as this has started happening a lot.

No idea till now

Only did portability because of 3G

On docomo 3G was like 750mb for 600 or something

On airtel its 300 per gb also their are tricks for 3G in 2G plan
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
LOL did you forget it was me and bala or kachrukamble told about that trick? :p

How long did it take you to port? And for how long you were not with network?
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
8 days

Docomo is disconnected

Airtel is not connected

Manually selecting network connects to airtel 2G

No data connection and stuck on GPRS

Will take 24 hours to fully get the sim activated

they can only if they don't have internal version rom they can change it with G model i have already changed my screen twice time and MB can't countable lol hahahaha
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I guess so. Amoled is OLED right? When this mobile was launched people with used to say this super amoled plus life would be 2 years or so. But we are seeing burn in sooner than expected? Why not all S2 have the burn in on notification bar are? I always used to keep the screen with as low brightness as possible.

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
there is an app called "spare parts" which allows you to stretch the incompatible apps to full screen, try that, if it dosent works then you have to go for stock dpi.

regarding calls, try some other kernels and check your sensors through zdevice test.

I'll go without baseband to them 2-3 times and ask for a new piece if they won't replace under warranty. I mean wth? You place a crappy under developed screen on my phone and I should pay for it? Okay, awesome black levels but what about the drawbacks?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I think when my device was made Samsung somehow hardcoded it to not run ICS. Latest findings. As i said i was having charging problems with USB cable, it wouldn't charge. And today, even with AC adapter it charged slow as hell. Don't know what i thought and just restored my old GB backup.

This is the result,

• In ICS battery charged from 26 to 55% in exactly 2 hours. So ~15% per hour.

• In GB battery charged from 54 to 87% in exactly 1 hour. So 33% per hour, which is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL.

That's not just it. Now even the USB charging is back.

Now what the hell should i do?? :confused:

if you meant complex fonts in browsers then the stock browser in ics would render all type of complex fonts and not limited to indian roms
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
So this means scree burns are not covered under warranty? :-(
[Galaxy S II General] karthikcs:
attached the about screen from my phone. Let me know if this version has complex font rendering

Bala, what I mean by complex font rendering is that indic languages has this half letters and complex letters. Those need to displayed properly. In my phone they display font properly but conjuncts are not displayed properly. If you know kannada, Ottaksharas are not rendered aptly. Example attached

Guys, I'm having a weird problem here. If I transfer any mp3 files to my phone, it is not showing up in my music player (playable from My Files though). Tried restart, clear data for music, trigger system media rescan but all in vain. Anyone has any idea about this?

I'm on stock Indian ICS (XWLP7) with JKay mod installed. CF-Root kernel.

Don't they have online chat support like docomo?
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
See if there is any other .nomedia file in the folder of the mp3 file.

Run the media scanner again.

See if your music player has a seperate option to either rebuild or update its music library.

Lastly try moving the file somewhere else & try the above steps again.
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Hope that works :(
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
It should work otherwise just delete the file & transfer it once again from you pc.

[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I think they should be covered in warranty. It's not that they come because we dropped out phone or something. Burn-in is there because of the drawbacks that amoled has. IDK, if anyone can enlighten us on this, it will be great.

Please someone shed some light on this.

I'm thinking to try Resurrection Remix ics v2.1 rom....Do I need to wipe data or no need because I'm coming from CM9?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
So I might as well try it once then? My warranty is expiring on July.

And ad hoc wifi network is where you create a P2P network in wifi enabled PC or laptop. It's like the laptop will act as wifi access point and people can join the network and share files. What I use it for is in my office there is no wifi router. So I connect LAN cable to my laptop and then create a wifi ad hoc network to which I would be able to connect my S2 via wifi and get the office Internet on my phone.

But here is the down side. All mobile manufacturer other than android can connect to a ad hoc network. This is because google disabled it from 2.2 android version for security or ****. If you had seen some thread before in general section there used to be a WPA supplicant mod by a user which enabled to search for ad hoc network in android and connect to it. But that used to work only for GB and not for ICS. And I'm waing for CM9 to implement this mod :(

No you need to unroot it first download the Kl1 from intratech thread :)
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
If u update via kies, u will lose root.

But u can get CF-Root kernel for LP7 from chainfire's kernel thread and root ur phone via odin.

Or

Get mobile odin pro from market.

Get XWLP7 tar file through check fus downloader or sammobile.

Put it in ur SD card.

Open mobile odin and flash it with ever root option ticked.

Now u r rooted.

No need to unroot to update via kies if ur mobile is recognized by kies.

After update u will lose ur root.

I have been using Avast Anti-theft in my Gtab and GS2 for the past 4-5 months.(It is installed in the ROM partition which protects it from factory reset.)

It is an excellent program.

Only problem now after updating my GS2 to XWLP7 (ICS-India) is that touchwiz launcher crashing continuously telling "Unfortunately touchwiz launcher is stopped!".

(I have done all wipes before and after updating and I even reflashed the ROM but the same crashing!!)

Anybody else here using Avast Anti-theft with ICS?

I really like it's so many features which makes GS2 in to an unstealable phone.

Any idea my dear friends?

Cheers.

PS: I do not like any other anti-theft programmes.
