I apologize for my lack of insight from my previous post. Lemme repeat it...

I have a question...

Well, finally upgraded my OS to ICS. I skipped the initial setup (Google and Samsung accounts, coz I have a security feature for Google) so I pressed BACK to get to the main screen.

I missed setting up the "Input User Name" screen. Is this important? Can I go back to edit this? How?

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II General] darkrance:
So I don't really need to do anything even if I forgot to edit it because it is based on my Google Account anway? I didn't get that screen back even when I created/connected my Google Account.

I mean this screen here was the one I forgot to edit...

Hello guys.

Im having trouble sending mms msg. My network is globe.

I downloaded the settings and with more than enough load i cant send mms.

Anyone having the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] knuckle03:
Look for someone whos also globe and copy his message centre number. Im just assuming here coz tried a couple of times already that i cant send sms and i just copied my gfs mssg centre number then walah, prob solved.
[Galaxy S II General] darkrance:
Try to check from Globe as well. I think I remember them reminding me that the MMS service deactivates after some time if you don't use it. If you use it daily, check also your MMS settings and update them if you can.

are you going to get extended battery? if yes, buy the extended batt first before you get a new case unless it is already proven/tested it (here) to fit with the case of your choice.

do you think it's still worth it to get an S2 right now? or the Note or Gnex would be a better option?

any inisghts is welcome! TIA!

if i were to go back to the time i bought my sgs2. i'd pick the following in order

1. Note (simply bigger and S pen is a convenience)

no disrespect to this thread, I love SGS2...

good pm guys,

sorry this might be answered before or off-topic...

but, when im trying to download Google Earth from Googleplay it says

"This app is incompatible with your Globe Samsung GT-I9100"

is this because of network(globe) or its because its not available to the phils? :(
[Galaxy S II General] whax:
thanks for your inputs everyone!

SGS2 is definitely still on top of the charts.. S3 is currently out of my choices, I don't fancy quad cores yet.

It's just sad to hear though that the DAC on the S2 is Yamaha instead of the wolfson like on the S1. This somewhat became a deal breaker for me with the S2. I may have to live without it though if I do choose the S2.

thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
use voodoo louder and power amp...same potatoes in the end even better :p
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
is the sound/DAC really that bad from yamaha to wolfson?
[Galaxy S II General] whax:
^I haven't actually tried the Wolfson yet, but based on some users experience, Wolfson is comparable to iphone4's audio quality, with Wolfson + Voodoo, makes it even better than ip4.. Since I am used to the sound quality of ip4/ipt4, Wolfson could have been great.. Yamaha DAC is not on par with Wolfson DAC.. So S2's audio quality wouldn't be on par.. even so, I think it's still great compared to the rest, just not against iDevice and S1 with Wolfson...
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
bro, i'm a musician and an audiophile. trust me, if you use poweramp as your music player, the sound quality is way way better than the iphone. i use poweramp as my music player and DSP manager for the virtual room effect (in music we call it reverb).

iphone4's ipod application is not even worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as poweramp. and i don't use iphone as a reference to sound quality because it's just an average music player for me. there are lots of mp3 players out there that'll give iphone a run for its money. sorry to those iphone users out there....
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
Lolwut? I bought an iPod touch4 last year and immediately sold it because of the poor audio quality (bundled earphones suck and I tried my CX-300II but still sucks!). My previous Zune HD has way better sound quality than any iDevice. I'm also using Poweramp and even with the default settings, sq is superb. iPod or iPhone doesn't come close to SGS2 in terms of audio quality. hth :):)
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
precisely what i'm talking about buddy. even my sansa clip that's a cheap mp3 player sounds better than my ipod :D

btw, i sold my ipod immediately :p

ipod's achilles heel is its inability to customize EQ settings according to user's taste which is the secret of good mp3 players. correct me if i'm wrong here but last time i checked, they only have EQ presets.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
since we're talking about eq/music player on sgs2. i'd like to ask if Equalizer app really works?

i tried to switch it on and pull down all the settings but the music im playing didnt change. same goes if i pull up all the settings.

or it only works with certain apps? so i uninstalled it.

so basically its the app that defines the SQ and not the all around EQ app...
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
are you using official firmware with the Equalizer app? if you're using AOSP, i doubt it will work. you must use official firmware to enjoy the sound and video/pix quality of our SGS2. that's why i'm still on DXKL3 (i found it much better sounding than DXLP7). and yes, sound quality is defined mostly by the app (also, 3rd party audio enhancement apps like the EQ app and DSP manager works together with the music app). with these said, the hardware of course has a lot to say about sound quality but the software can do wonders.

[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
im on stock dxlp7. i downloaded "Equalizer" app but it doesn't work with Winamp and stock player.

i downloaded the EQ app, and set it to lowest level. then start playing songs and the sound is still the same. while playing i increase all levels to max. same no effect.

so i thought it is not working. until now.
[Galaxy S II General] whax:
You are probably right on that. I tried out an n2 player w/ bbe before, and it was definitely better than iphone. Though in comparison with stock players and audio quality on phones, I'd still believe that ipt4/ip4 has good enough audio quality compared to other smartphones, you may be right as well that sgs2 is better, I honestly haven't tried yet, as I'm just about to get one in a week or so.

I'd gladly take you word with the poweramp and dsp manager to make the quality even better, and I'm happy to hear that a musician/audiophile has commented about how good it's audio is. This definitely solidify my choice in getting the s2. Thanks!

Hi guys I need a little help with my phone.

I'm on globe and reception has been horrible lately this past month. On places and areas where I normally have signal I am left unable to make a call or send a text. There was also one time wherein I could not call but

I am currently on checkrom HD v6 KL1 after briefly using gingerbread. I have been using this rom before that and I have had no problems whatsoever. I cannot determine if this is a problem with globe or with my phone but there was one instance wherein I was seated next to an iphone 4 user on globe and he could make a call and I could not.

What rom and radio combinations do you guys use that can get the best reception from globe?

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I enjoy good audio quality but never liked poweramps UI. Browsing through your song lists / artists / albums is a pain and the UI is confusing and overwhelming for new users. Do you guys use the default settings or configure it for each song depending on the genre??

Help

Hi guys i purchase a korean version SHW-M250s but it is already converted to I9100 my FIRMWARE is as FOLLOWS:

Model number:GT-19100

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: i9100XXKG1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-i9100XXKG1-CL349526se.infra@SEP-39 #2

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKG1

now the question is:

1.) Is it already rooted? if not how?, i cant see any Superuser etc.

2.) Can I just use any guide here about rooting? or is there any special instruction for a korean phone flashed w/ i9100 ROM

3.) Can i flash any custom ROM that i like? & how? (or any suggested ROM )

4.) When I press the menu button + vol up + power button i went to the Android system Recovery <3e> where in i can see 4 options like:

-reboot to system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

can I use the apply update from sdcard to load a custom ROM?

Pls help thanks
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
1. if you can't see the superuser or supersu icon in the apps tray, it's not rooted

2. there are other guides on how to root but CF-root is the easiest. here's the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14283383

3. yes you can flash any custom rom as long as it says it's for galaxy s2 i9100

4. no you can't use that. you must be rooted and in the CWM option. you must use "install zip from sdcard" to load a custom rom

Wipe Data, Wipe Cache , dalvik cache , format system and install any ROM of your choosing choose the latest update stick with the default kernel for a while.

What error does Go SMS generate after sending an sms? Have you tried reinstalling Go SMS?

Have you tried using other messaging apps like Go SMS or Handcent? Also, did you try uninstalling the game to see if it would revert to 160 per text? You could do a fresh Stock ICS install again, that might solve the problem if using other sms apps won't work.
[Galaxy S II General] andydotph:
Go to the stock messaging app.. on the list of messages > settings > scroll down to input mode under Text Message (SMS) settings > Select automatic or GSM alphabet. If you choose unicode, that's 70 characters per message.
