2G = GSM Only, with packet data on you have GPRS (G) or EDGE (E)

3G/H = WCDMA, with packet data on you have 3G (3G) or H+(H)

I use GSM only and not GSM/WCDMA because this toggles between E and H, chooses whichever has stronger signal

So I choose GSM ONLY, i switch to WCDMA only when i need 3G or H+

Mga kapwa pinoy, may tanong lang po ako..

Anong keyboard gamit nyo? Ako, at the moment i'm using Go Keyboard kasi may tagalog language and pwedeng mag slide.

Gusto ko sanang gamitin yung built in Swype keyboard ng GT-19100G ko pero walang tagalog eh. Pwede bang lagyan ng tagalog yun? Hehehe!

Any ideas? Gusto ko sana yung parang swype pero may tagalog support.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ sir english. this thread already got warnings previously.

extended battery update - i manage to last almost 2 days without reboot. i charged it already at 15%. highly recommended.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Can you say that there is a big difference between 1650 and 2000 in your kind of usage?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
yes based on my experience. normally i charge in the morning and by the time i get back home i only have 25-35%.

now i can charge the next day, noon. during day time my wifi is always on. the only time it gets switched off if when i travel to home/office and when sleeping.

i have lots of apps the requires sync (e.g: reader, about 8 emails, instant messaging, etc.). brigthness is set at auto during office hours and 50% when at home.

and aside from that, its official samsung so i know it went under quality process (i hope). if im going another brand it would be mugen. i am very satisfied with it on my Desire Z.
[Galaxy S II General] GameSlim:
Hahaha! sorry I thought being a pilipino thread we can speak in our local language. Anyway, yes back to my question.. what keyboard are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] kulot:
Too bad the hyperdroid thread has been closed (sigh)

Yeah :D just had a lot to download plus its downloads faster on my phone rather than my PC.

Cool, mine sometimes goes up to 700-800KBps during 12midnight.. It makes downloading torrents much faster :D
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:

Which button do you guys use to turn on the screen? the home button or the power button? Just curious coz ive only had my phone for a month and i dont want to have hardware button problems after a few months just like what happened to my previous htc desire phone (volume down button and optical button were not as responsive after 6 months).
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:

what's the best modem/radio to use here in the Philippines for our phone? I'm using the modem included in the custom rom check rom. anyone? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] kircchoffs:
mga kabayan share ko lang 2 of d best ROM, Kernel & Modem na combinatio na nagamit ko in balance of performance & batt life.

ROM : AndyX ROM 2.1

KERNEL: Finomenal 2.2 extreme black

MODEM: XXKI3

ROM : gingerMOD.08

KERNEL: N.E.A.K 1.1

MODEM: XXKI3
[Galaxy S II General] kircchoffs:
KI3
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
actually the one which is packaged with checkrom is well suited (ki4)...stable and not much signal jumps that will eat up some precious batt life...but that depends on your location so i suggest you keep zips of different modems in your /sd...you can test out kl1 and lp1...they also go the mile but personally on checkrom i use the one included to have no issues

[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
update again on extended battery. really satisfied with this one. can last up to 2 days w/o charging. im on auto brightness and mostly wifi (about 8 hours a day).

4 days uptime and still running - i charge when it reaches 10-15%
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
Good for you pare,

i get 2-3 days with 3g on from 8am to 9pm daily using my Anker 1900mAh batteries. On stock rom 2.3.6 dxkl3

Planning to get the official 2000mAh by Samsung but might hold back since i got two Anker batts plus stock 1650mAh. Alternating them three and have not charged on my phone for a month now.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
so far i've only tried this and mugen batt for my DZ. so im going to buy only the official and tested brand (mugen).

what i noticed is that when i charge thru outlet it drains faster than charged thru usb/laptop or any usb outlet.

still lasts up to 2 days regardless if thru outlet or usb.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
because trickle charge is still IMO the best way to charge batteries. My Anker batts charge for four hours, i even charge my stock batt there. I can charge them using my phone but its better just changing batts anytime i want to. Having three batts makes me at ease, i can just use the phone without worrying
[Galaxy S II General] gtizon:
Hi what is trickle charge? Id like to achieve your batt life as well.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
Trickle charging is typically charging with low current. The standard charger that comes with our S2 is considered a fast charger. Can charge the battery in two hours

I ordered Anker batteries, the package comes with two 1900mAh batteries and an Anker charger. This charger is a slow charger or trickle charger or a low current battery charger. It can fully charge the battery in 4-5 hours.

I still use my stock 1650mAh battery, comparing it to a full charge using the standard charger and the Anker charger, i noticed it to last longer.

But i am no expert, this is just based on my experience. Using the standard charger, leaving the phone at 100 percent, i usually get a 1 percent drop two hours later. My phone can last me 40-48 hours with medium usage (according to my standards that is)

With the Anker charger, i only get a 1 percent drop after 4 hours, my battery can last me 50-72 hours same medium usage
[Galaxy S II General] sicnarf816:
so is it different from changing the charging current on voltage control?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
if you want i guess the best batt life for our unit so far try testing out and using geko95gek cfg for siyah's 2.6.7...so far stable and uber power friendly...

btw though trickle charging is ok i guess for our unit it doesnt make much difference...most of us prefer a higher charging rate...the system has a built in command of preventing charging over 900 (but i guess no fool would do that) but a lot have tried using scripts and dev roms...still stick to the accompanying charger with the unit and you would have no problems (if you do you still have your warranty)...
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
when it comes to charging in the unit then you have to listen to the advise of jermitano

My experience, i dont charge my batteries in my unit anymore. Having three batteries (two 1900mAh, and one stock 1650mAh) i just alternate them. I charge them using the bundled Anker charger. But this is just me and my experience

Hello Pips,

My first post in this thread.

After few months of ownership and currently enjoying it still on stock kasi happy pa naman.

I am having problem with the stock toggle bar specifically yung ringer mode nya. Its persistently in silent icon even you set it to ringing mode or vibrate but still be that mode naman kaya no problem on that part. Yung problem is ayaw na matanggal yung silent icon mode nya.

I was using this app " android assistant " to toggle ringer modes and other internal operations. Tingin ito problem. Tried unintalling and reintalling this app and use it again baka bumalik yung normal na toggle na vibrate and ringing lang, even did factory reset mga bro to no avail.

Hope you can extend your expertise mga bro..

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
Thanks...personally im on 500 and finish my charging in 2 hours or a little more...i dont suggest you guys do it as almost everything about our phone is subjective...

Guys, just a quick question.

Is there a timeout when downloading while locked?

I was downloading the requires files for Order & Chaos online (about 600mb) and then I returned to home and locked the screen. then when I turned back on, it was cut it happened twice.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Afaik No. I used to believe it does do that but further tests proved me wrong. Maybe it's because of gameloft or your mobile network.
[Galaxy S II General] shakra00:
Is my wifi broken? @_@
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Most probably it's gameloft..
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
most of us gets a cut download when the connection is severed...as long as the phone is on download mode it will download so there's no so called timeout...jeezz man everywhere you post its so panicky...better check your internet connection...

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

i think the problem here is user related and not phone related...you yourself can only know that...if you can connect to the net then your wifi works...if you are on stock and you experience a lot of things you dont expect from your phone then take it to samsung and get your warranty's worth...jeezzz man like we all said before on other thread which you started posting over and over...learn your phone...learn how to use it...

Upgrading to 2.3.6

Hi there!

Long time lurker, first time poster here. So I'm currently on a rooted 2.3.3, making use of Chainfire's DXKL1 insecure kernel to perform the root. I've downloaded the required files and I'm about to upgrade to 2.3.6. Before I do that though, can anyone share there experience with 2.3.6? Any major changes from 2.3.3? I'm quite happy with 2.3.3 and am quite hesitant to upgrade if it does not bring any major improvements.

Also, is it not required to flash a new kernel after having flashed a new kernel?

EDIT: found the answer to my question regarding the kernel flash.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i upgraded mine to 2.3.6. so far satisfied with it. not sure what features were add, removed, or changed. some are noticeable. system power saving, blue gradient replaced the bounce effect, etc.

battery usage for me seems ok.

one thing i noticed with the blue effect. if you slide up/down/left/right a window/place holder which isnt supposed to be scrolled sometimes the blue effect appears (try the main screen of google plus).
[Galaxy S II General] djgoer:
So I've upgraded to 2.3.6 as well. And the blue light effect is the first thing I noticed when scrolling through the settings and you hit the end.

After the upgrade though when I opened Titanium Backup to freeze stock apps, I noticed that there are four applications there in grey and are struck out. Anyone know what's that about?

The warraty agreement is pretty much the same everywhere. I'd suggest returning to a stock ROM, preferably the one your phone came with. Essentially though they will make a decision when they got your device back.

Since you just bought it and Official ICS is just around the corner, i would suggest you stay stock

Download KIES on you PC. Connect your phone to update it to the latest Gingerbread stock rom. Perhaps you are still on 2.3.3, i am not sure what is the latest official stock rom for the UK so just update your phone to the latest one through KIES.

When the official ICS comes out, all you have to do is connect through KIES again.

[Galaxy S II General] rey031:
Latest version of Swype has Tagalog language since around October last year. To download and install the latest version of Swype, you will need to register and follow instructions at beta.swype.com.

BUT since we already have a version of Swype built into the Samsung ROM as a system app, you will need to remove it first. You can't simply uninstall it since it's installed as a system app.

Best way to do it is to use Titanium Backup to back it up then uninstall it. You will need to be rooted, of course, and you do it at your own risk.

I've been enjoying the latest version of Swype since forever :)

Hi guys,

I noticed a hiss on my charger while charging and want to have it replaced. My unit is a local one and with warranty. Where should I go for this? Rooting the unit foes not affect the warranty on my charger right?

I also noticed my home button having a second click whenever I press on it. I use it a lot to activate the screen and noticed a difference with my friends bnew unit. This is hardware related, can I still claim my warranty?

Thanks guys

Try using a different plug if the noise still remains den it must be ur charger issue..

I agree with manish suggestion, try a diff charger or outlet. looks like a static is causing it. maybe you charger is under or overvoltage.

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
since you bought your phone from the UK then kies only works in that region (unless you are currently in europe sir the kies would work for the update)...if you are in the US (as the flag suggests) then your best bet of updating to the latest firmware is flashing first via odin a firmware that is for your region (please refer to intratech's thread on official stock firmwares and how to flash them)...btw i suggest you learn how to use odin as it is way way better than that crappy and useless kies software (though you may need it to push drivers when using odin)...with odin you have multiple options of installing any firmware from anyplace...and flashing a stock firmware will not void your warranty...

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

hmm if the charger is hissing then the current output is amiss...i suggest you push the latest siyah kernel (2.6.9) and install the currentwidget apk from the market...you can diagnose whether the problem is with the charger itself (if low voltage/mAh comes in from the stock 450) or the port for ust...also check your sockets for damage...
[Galaxy S II General] kingofthebraves:
Yeah it's definitely the charger, I tried my friends HTC charger and there was no sound whatsoever.

Does anyone know exactly where Samsung Service center for these kinds of issues are located? I've been trying to call north edsa since awhile ago and no one's answering. Also, if my unit is rooted can I still get a warranty for my home key button which feels kind of soft and has a "second click".
