[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ey:
Yes, it was way ahead of its time in terms of performance when it came out and the hardware wasn't surpassed until many years later which is a bit of a surprise to me because even the original WM2003SE was really sluggish on it. I have flashed it with Windows Mobile 6.1 which is slightly faster and there are WM6.5 ROMs (that are reported to work well) for it which I haven't tried because WM6.1 does the job although sluggishly so. It's not because of the lacking hardware but because WM is a piece of cr*p IMO. There is also Angstrom Linux available for it (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/) which I haven't tried either, and it probably is quite a bit snappier.

I don't think there should be any problems with the partitions as WM6.1 and 6.5 support FAT32 (but not exFAT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=590642). The CF slot is flexible and forgiving but not the SD slot. No one has managed to get SDHC cards to work on it but there may be some hope. People used to say that the WiFi doesn't support WPA2 due to hardware limitations. As of today I have no problems with connecting to (enforced) WPA2 encrypted networks on WM6.1.

The CF slot as I understand it is a condensed version of the IDE/ATA interface which is easier to work with on the other hand. According to the < CF5.0 specs up to 128GB flash memory is supported and the CF5.0 specs supports up to 2TB so no hack is necessary to make it work.

As for the thickness specified on the web page. It comes with a plastic lid that covers the display. With this lid it is 14.9 mm and without it 13.6 mm. It is quite obvious that it wasn't designed with slimness in mind. The display is recessed about 2 mm and it has a more defined bezel compared to a modern Android phone.

Just purchased today in Taiwan.

GT-I9100

2.3.3

I9100XXKG1

2.6.35.7 I9100ZSKG2-CL361136

GINGERBREAD.ZSKG2

I wonder, does anyone want me to upload this ROM soon before I do too much to it, as it may vary from the 16GB model? How can I, here in Taiwan, be the first in the world to get this device???!??!

I will try to post photos and an unboxing with cute Chinese girls.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Woot, never heard about the launch of the 32 GB version. If that's true, it's nice news.
[Galaxy S II General] Peddi09:
SGS2 with 32G? I'm excited to see the pics...
[Galaxy S II General] arkadius41:
Its interesting,anyway could you check what kind of audio hub is implemented ? Go to system/etc/asound.conf , in 16 gb version exists Yamaha, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
how much did it cost you out of curiosity?
[Galaxy S II General] chefdave12118:
Lies. Discontinued.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
your saying the OP is lying?:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
Samsungs own website still states a 32GB flavour, do your homework before calling someone a liar!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
Pictures of settings/storage , or its all lies !
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxys2/mobile/index.html#

Check the above and check specifications!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
Stop unnecessary spaming , samsung site means nothing , they also claimed 32GB model will not be produced because of manufacturing costs.

So OP show us those pics !
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
Are you on glue?

I am pointing you to Samsungs own website so you can see the specs, possible 32GB version is going to happen, may have happened.
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
Your the one on glue , that site was up since first SGS2 was released we all knew the possibility of 32GB , later on a blog samsung/or a distributor claimed its not happening. OP also spamming this in two subforums and not providing any proof, so get down from your high horse.

If it is true its all great but, again where are the PICs ?
[Galaxy S II General] lambstone:
Ok guys, stop arguing. There may or may not be a 32gb version in existence at the current time. One way to know for sure is to have a screenshot showing that it has 32gb. However, that being said, a lack of a screenshot does not yet mean there isn't a 32gb version. It just simply means there is no evidence to fully substantiate that there is a 32gb version.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
If you were to trust Samsung, you should have seen a Tegra 2 GT-I9100, which didn't happen either. So of course people don't believe that only one xda member got a 32 GB phone and he's reluctant in showing us pics ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
Not on my high horse just yet pal, the way you responded and still are responding is very aggressive, maybe cut down a little on the steroids eh?
[Galaxy S II General] mostyle:
Sigh..

So much epeen.. So much arguing.. Why must everything on XDA degrade to a pissing contest..

If he says he has one, great.. If he's a liar that's great too.. People do what they do.. he's feeding his ego by posting a falsehood pretty much the same as you are feeding yours by being the savior and pointing out said falsehood.

Realistically neither matter too much in the grand scheme of of things...

Sometimes it is best to follow the old rule.. If you have nothing positive to say, be silent.

im also gonna pimp my phone to be 32gb! 16gb internal and 16gb sd card :P
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
I'm often astounded at the vitriol that is slung around here sometimes. To quote Linus Van Pelt (the only one who I actually KNOW, and am willing to acknowledge, said these words), "I bring you tidings of great joy." and you slag me? We're all in this together people. The Palm community would have never gotten so vicious as this thread. People calling me a liar...honestly. I do thank those who had the grace to defend me.

I think those thugs should take a look at my sig. I had smartphones while they were in regular phones. I had one of the first of the first 10,000 run of BB 850's (Google it). That was in the last century kiddies!

I hope I can upload a photo here. I took a long time dealing with Taiwanese people to get this and then was late for work, so had no time to upload pics. Will try to do it now. Some of us have lives. If the pic I'm trying to upload doesn't slake your curiosity tell me what else you'd like me to show.

It was "Made in china by Samsung"

I want to see if someone asks me for/ needs this potentially unique ROM. I haven't attempted root, but have read the howto thread once, so I can't go to system/etc/asound.conf yet. I can't browse there in Win7, but might jam it into my Linuxbox when my son wakes tomorrow as what DAC it is a burning question for me too! I would also like to find out if it's Eynos/Mali. Where could I find that short of a teardown? The telco said it is Exynos/Mali. Please give me explicit instructions as I'm a noob and am allergic to command line

It cost me $NT22490 cash today, which included the next 11 months free service (NT$1049/mo) of the 2yr contract(unlimited 3G/HSPDA, 400 sms, 30mins voice).
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
Where did Samsung say it should deliver a galaxy S2 i9100 with Tegra 2? I'm pretty sure they never said that. It is just how the press parsed the limited information about a Tegra 2 "version".

For very obvious reasons Samsung called the model with Tegra 2 something else (i9103).
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
Good shot, hope they shut up now :)
[Galaxy S II General] ianford10:
As you said it was the press that mentioned Tegra! Like the other bit in the earlier posts about read on a blog that Samsung wasn't going to do a 32GB flavour, on a blog so must be true ;)

You could run couple of benchmarks for us , nenamark2 and antutu , should be good 3d and overall system indication if it's a exynos or tegra.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
See how long it takes for them to start baying for you to post pics and DNA samples!
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Antutu

I shut everything I could down manually before starting the test after a reboot, then ran both tests, antutu first. By the end she was warm up around the camera!

Ghost, you're a GOD! Nenamark declared my GPU to be a Mali, so that conclusively answers the question of if it's an Exynos or not!
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
Yep its exynos scores are in line with small margin of variation.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
I doubt the 32GB version is very different from the 16GB version ROM wise, but I still thank you for thinking of the community.

And yes I agree, the hostility around here is pretty sad.

well really, I do hope you are not suggesting my 64 gig version is fake as well, how rude.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's an article that talks about the 32GB version being available in Taiwan in July. The price mentioned is what the OP says he paid.

http://www.eprice.com.cn/mobile/talk/4159/4476160/

And peace was restored to the Kingdom once again...
[Galaxy S II General] jorelleperds:
I wish i could have gotten my sgsII on a sizzling platter w/veggies like on the pic.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Wow, what's it gonna take? Engadget caters to a dying empire that hasn't as yet gotten any variant of this phone due to the foolish hoops the carriers force upon manufacturers. Couple that with the fact that this really isn't "news" as the device has been in the global market since May moving some 6million units.

I agree it is strange that Taiwan is the only place with this. Until you realise that we have almost all of the planets tech manufactures (i.e. the ones that actually make physical product) like Quanta, Foxconn, TSMC etc. So I was thinking perhaps one of these got a contract to make some for the production strapped Samsung and this was a test batch? Sammy said sell it in Taiwan hoping noone WOULD notice until some English speaker got one and sprayed it all over this series of tubes. Any chinese media would be easy to overlook/ignore such a non-existent story in the English world.

I get the fact that Americans are as excited as I was yesterday waiting for it, but still don't see this as newsworthy anywhere but this forum so that's why I posted.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Not really, they probably did it to piss HTC off.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Or to compete against the nationalist pride that comes with HTC here. I might be crazy, but I just love the old Nortel phone/PBX systems. Noone can ever convince me they aren't the solidest and best ever made.

Even in red, the price stated on your linked site is at least 20% higher than the one in Taiwan.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Yes I'm 95% sure that the NT$22490 is the price regardless of whether it is on the various contract deals, or you just pay cash and walk away. I was Senao who was the retailer, but they have their counter in the main Chunghwa office.

I kinda think that he's actually referring to Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
But that AAnswer doesn't S&Peak to the reality we find ourselves in some 3 generations hence. You should read zerohedge until you weep uncontrollably (as I do) then come back here.

But yes, we all thank you for the stuff you did back then, and dearly hope you get your mojo back! Dunno if I'm waving a red flag at a bull, but you should also read Naomi Klein's books. At least Asians have jobs that allow basic people to make a decent living over here, but noone is getting rich. Increasingly we ALL are chasing China to Walmart's basement. Which is what the banksters want *****ez!

But more important and germane, I hope you get past your carrier hurdles so you can enjoy this phone! I'm pretty certain there is no official US variant of this in the US yet so you can do $200 contracts? Am I wrong?

Sadly, yes I was referring to the US, I don't think Apple is going anywhere soon as it has more cash on hand than the Treasury did Thursday. But they are a prime example of offshoring for slave wages. Henry Ford got the idea of having to have customers who could buy his cars, so he paid his workers in his own country (and mine, thanks Hank!) a decent wage. In doing this laying the foundations for the greatest empire the world might ever see. But dang...still no SGS2 <frowny face>
[Galaxy S II General] jackleung:
You folks should stop harassing the OP. It's real that there is a 32gb just release recently. And it's a custom version for one (or some) carriers in Taiwan. And it's being sold in a 3C trade show over there.

If you can read Chinese, many people post the pics on a site www.mobile01.com
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
I believe the 32GB is real. I just don't believe why the OP has to start 4 seperate threads on the same damn topic.
[Galaxy S II General] ThibVc:

i just confirmed with pchome (reputable online retailer in tw) that they have it in stock

godamnit i just came back from taiwan, too, should've waited haha :mad:

the 32gb is only like USD70 more than the 16
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
But remember I don't think it'll work on the ATT 3G bands, but maybe T-Mobile? I remember my Euro Pre wouldn't 3G on ATT.

WCDMA 2100/850/1900/900 MHz:24dBm

GSM 850/900 MHz: 33dBm

GSM 1800/1900: 30dBm

I can't read Chinese so I dunno why they add the dBm readings at the end.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
It's the opposite. T-Mobile U.S. uses 1700/2100. Very few international phones work with those bands.
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
ATT uses WCDMA 850 and 1900 , so it will work.
[Galaxy S II General] Super Chimp:
Is that as far as it will go or is there a chance of it being made more widely available?
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
I totally agree, I'm happy I have it, but am wondering why here first. It is not like it is for a chinese carrier as our language is written in a different style than china. I have to think it was a small test run for some reason, or as has been posited, to compete with the Sensation's nationalist advantages. I'll check my friends Sensation to see if it's actually made in Taiwan or not tomorrow...If I don't awake to total global economic collapse.

Buy your physical *****ez!
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Can always get PChome to ship it to you. They are pretty good and use EMS too.

[Galaxy S II General] g00ey:
I heard that there are huge problems with WiFi and the GPS on the SGS2, so how is GPS and WiFi on your phone? Are those issues fixed in the 32GB model?
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
I have had no issues with WiFi. I can only compare it to my GSM Palm Pre (minus). It seems to get better coverage, as my Pre would be dead in certain spots where now the SGS2 gets marginal signal on WiFi G. My colleague has a Sensation so I might see how ours compare as well.

I haven't really tried GPS yet save opening google maps indoors where it gets an aGPS lock that is essentially locating the cellsite it is connected to. What test would you like me to try doing?
[Galaxy S II General] FishTaco:
Oh boy, 32GB. BFD, shorty.
[Galaxy S II General] g00ey:
Hey FishTaco: Is 16GB really enough on a cell phone that can play mp3s and not only play different video clips but also shoot video at HD resolution?

I myself have about 100GB of audio that cannot fit into this phone and I have quite a set of video lectures that takes considerable space so what is left if I would want to shoot some casual video?

Today's HD video cameras support SDXC which means that you can store the video on 128GB SDXC cards that are hot swappable. The memory of a cell phone is not hot swappable and I think most people would agree that it would be desirable to be able to store more than an just about an hour of HD video and have no room for anything else. So I would really hope that we will see cell phones with 256GB-512GB of internal memory not too far away into the future and a phone with 64GB of possible internal storage is at least one (small) step in that direction.

As for the GPS, you could try different situations where the sky is not clear. For example narrow streets with tall buildings, perhaps some forest. When I walked with a friend to hit the nightclubs on a Saturday night, we tried to shortcut through a forest and the GPS of his SGS2 couldn't get a lock on our position as we were ambling around randomly in the pitch black forest until we hit a road.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
I've got around 600 photo's on my 16GB SGS 2, and have 15 mins of 1080p video's recorded off my SGS 2, as well as ten to twelve albums on there and it's got 8 gig out of the 11 or so gigs storage space left. This is not a lot of stuff to have on a phone, but it does me.

I imagine anyone using the phone for normal use, will be able to run and run with it, especially using sd cards as well.

Of course those of us who still insist on having our entire music collection on our portable media, as well as hours and hours of HD Video and photos will have to stick to having lots of seperate devices.

Personally, for me, the phone is enough :D

As for WiFi and GPS, they both work perfectly for me, and in fact out perform all my previous phones in those regards.

Galaxy SII 32GB is availabe in Iran for about $750.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
I haven't checked our prices lately to see if they've gone down here. I've always wondered if you guys could get cool stuff there under sanctions. That is Arabic, but can't see/tell if it is actual Iranian packaging, or just grey marketed from a neighbouring country. Can you get Motorola (Googorola), and Apple phones that are legally imported and backed by an in country warranty? Sorry if this seems to be a silly question.

I can imagine also the regime won't want these phones around as they will be able to upload stunning HD images of them brutally suppressing crowds of demonstrators to youtube!
[Galaxy S II General] TAEL:
Well, all of these phones are illicit import. Due to many restrictions, we don't have official retailers, support centers and warranty of the devices. Usually phones are imported from Dubai, UAE.
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
So do you know where exactly the phone in your pic comes from? Interesting because the grey market importer is taking a cut. I wondered why your pic showed the seals still unbroken.
[Galaxy S II General] TAEL:
The seller of above pictured product is my friend. I asked him and told me he buys his stuff from Dubai wholesalers. The seal is unbroken because he has his hidden hands in the Customs and related government sections, lol. Here in Iran everything is possible if you have family in the government. Everything goes on based on relationships not rules. :)

400 sms? I'll do that in 2 hours...
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Ya sms (about 5 cents) and email just aren't that popular here, but in other parts of Asia they go crazy for them. I was sending sms's in the 90's back in Canada when noone knew what they were AND my carrier didn't even charge for them (Fido)! Voice is nice here as only the person who originates the call pays. The key to the cost is the few sms and voice AND about 30U$ fiats for unlimited data. Now my speeds only get to about 2meg in the 3rd largest city here. Maybe they're better in Taipei. But still cheaper than the us or Canada, plus paying about 300 for the phone.

[Galaxy S II General] Vader2k:
I picked up a 32GB version here in Kuwait over the weekend. My wife decided she wanted one after playing around with my 16GB version. Went to one of the local phone retailers to get her one and that's when he showed me the 32GB ones. So, I bought that and gave her my 16GB one. The store owner told me that he gets his stock from Dubai, UAE. It only cost me an extra 15KD, about 55 USD, over the 16GB version.

@downwiththebanksters, have you tried flashing a new ROM on yours yet, and if so, did you have any issues? I let Kies upgrade mine to the latest one for this region, JPKH1, but since it's still 2.3.3 I was wanting to upgrade to one of the newer 2.3.5 versions that Intratech posts in his thread.
