Hindi Samsung phils ang nagrerelease ng software. Samsung themselves in our region kasi ka share natin ang Singapore sa updates. I don't know bakit ayaw taasan yung android version natin pero the software performs well enough.

I bought it from ebay.com.ph, 800php with free shipping to the philippines from a south Korean seller

here is where i got it from, they have several case options fairly affordable with free shipping to the philippines and I got it quickly .

They have the Slike and Capsule case, the Slike is a thin silicone type tpu case , and the Capsule I believe is a hard case

All the cases the seller has

I think I tried searching for an answer for that same question. Found out that jkay deluxe works with custom roms only. I may be wrong....
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
It works with stock ROMS too. You need to match the version up with your ROM, and install a JKay theme before installing deluxe settings.

Hi guys.

Can anyone recommend me a store that sells the lowest price for a genuine samsung extended battery 2000mAh and a Battery stand charger locally?

And a 32gb micro sd card :D

TIA :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
@Tofeemint

the cheapest i've seen is from PCHub in Gilmore P1320. try to call them before going to the store (btw, they dont easily answer their phone :mad: ) last time i went there no more stocks. got the last.

alternatively samsung store in trinoma has few more stocks but sells at P1500. at least you're sure they have.

Hi guys,

dunno if any of you has already experienced this. My SGS2 is having problems with its home button. Whenever I press it once, it double presses it.

guys, did anyone of you experienced my charging problem? what happened was, when i was charging my phone, i heard the beep notifying me that it was already fully charged. it also showed 100% in the battery indicator. however, when i unplugged the charger cable from my phone, the indicator showed only 96%, even though a while ago it showed 100% when the charger cable was still plugged. i read somewhere that our phone don't need battery calibration anymore so i'm just wondering what's the problem with my battery. btw, my phone is only 6 months old and i'm not a heavy user either.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Tofeemint:
have you tried reading The Best Way to Calibrate our S2' Battery ! and try the workarounds they've posted there ^^,

@Flash05 took a while for me to see the samsung store there was shocked it was small, still thinking of buying the battery charger stand costs 900 there :\

@jaytana what class is that sir?
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
thank you bro. i'll try that.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
yeah small and the units there are not cheap. better grab while they still have. i know lots of sgs2 owner looking for extended batt (samsung orig). its still cheaper and hassle-free than going to gilmore. :)

i think battery charger stand is useless. might as well get a dock :) imho.
[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
I have poor signal on my galaxy S2 regardless of what modem , or SIM I use. Globe and Smart, signal is just as bad. It used to be good, when I had an Iphone4.

I tested the smart sim inside a smart bro and the signal strength was just as bad. So i can only assume something changed or made the signals weak in my area

I get no bars almost in my apartment
[Galaxy S II General] Tofeemint:
Very true hehe ive had my shares of going to gilmore and ending up dissapointed lol

The dock you we're talking about is like this one sir? dual desktop charging cradle its on a clearance sale! i wonder how much it costs from samsung? researching as well hehe

Hmm yeah i was planning that battery charger stand for the original battery so ill have spare but when you mentioned that dock it seems more useful so ill look into it.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
im not sure if that is the exact model but yeah dock is more useful than just battery dock...

anyway grab it while they still have 3, last time i checked.

anybody know if there is a "dock" for sgs2 to make it act like a tablet? like the padfone of asus?

if not, what happens if you connect it to hdmi? screen goes blank and gets displayed on tv or just duplicate? or unit becomes touchpad and there is a pointer on-screen?

thanks.

no need to calibrate your battery...see Q&A on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838...its perfectly normal, if you have the time then just let it fill up (when you remove the charger and it stays at 100)...

guys question. im on 2.3.6 stock using go launcher ex. i was updating es explorer app when suddenly the samsung boot-up music played. then i checked it and the launcher was drawing again the icons. something like "soft reboot" or some sort.

does it happen to you? i think this is the 2nd time it happened to me. i checked my up time and noticed that it is still 27+ days and counting... what could have happened?

Nothing to worry about. Most likely launcher crashed and restarted itself. Email the developer if you have problems with an app.

guys, i have 2 stock sgs2. both on smart network prepaid and postpaid. postpaid sgs2 always loses signal on gsm only and basically no signal on auto while the prepaid is fine.

i tried to change the sim using sun and works fine. is it the sim card? defective perhaps? based on the tests i did it seems so, defective.

possible?
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Put the sim in question on another phone and you'll have your answer.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
forgot to add that. yes i did. smart sim on other phone and sun on sgs2, no problem of whatsoever.

how is it possible that sim card got damaged? or "phone-aware" haha something like that?
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
Could be the sim? Cause like here compare to my father's gs2 or in any other phone his sim is in, his sim most of the time has an intrnet signal while mine is the opposite. His sim is like the postpaid here. And other thing is my sim/# consumes too much internet package (nangangain ng internet load) compare to my friends', they are fine. So i guess before the # configuration in the network that is stored in my sim is the prob. Something like that. :D

modem depends on your location but better to stick to whats for our region...kernel for checkrom is subjective but usually its better to stick to the kernel made by the devs of the rom as well...my advice, test them all and see which fits you

good day po sa inyo mga sir, I just bought my gs2 i9100 last week and it seems pretty good phone for me. Im learning alot from this site. I rooted my phone this morning as well. Im a bit nervous at first not to brick my phone and thank God maganda naman ang kinalabasan.

Only thing that bothers me is its battery life. There are tons of options which other people recommend but one thing took my attention, and that is underclocking..

Question is would you guys recommend underclocking the phone? if so what program and what settings (voltage and Hz.) would you guys recommend.

Thank you in advance and sorry for such a noob question.
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
undervolting and underclocking isn't necessary to achieve a decent battery life. I even OC my previous own, but not the S2 since it's pretty fast already for me.

can you provide battery statistics?

like how many percent per hour you lose on idle (screen off wifi/bt/sync off)? (do this after a cold boot)
[Galaxy S II General] robbienenson:
Thanks for the quick reply cruzargel, the thing is I dont know which program should I use to get some battery statistics. I need alot of guidance from you guys. lol!

I just switched from BB to GS2 this week.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Go to settings - about phone - battery.

All information is there. Btw, since not all of us are constantly on XDA to answer questions. I would advise you to do a lot of reading yourself before changing anything in your phone. Remember, Mr. Google is your friend.

Communicated using an S2 type Droid while floating in CM9 Galaxy
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
@robbienenson

BB to GS2? that's a huge leap. Maybe your battery life is just fine, because touch screens, especially those running on Android are really power hungry devices. they usually last 1-2days only, unlike your BB which can last for several days. As for me, my GS2's battery life only last for a day with medium use (mostly wifi browsing)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
thanks for the info. will be getting feedback later after she replace the sim card from smart. hopefully solves the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
hmm i hope you werent concluding about your first statement mate...i presume you are on stock?;)
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
Cruzargel is right bro you wont necessarily to undervolt/underclock. You can try different rom packages. Then if you are pretty familiar with what you are doing then you can try different rom/kernel combinations. As for me right now tweaked LPB/stock kernel does a good job for me. A get 8 hrs of heavy use with backlight at normal setting.
[Galaxy S II General] robbienenson:
@ geko95gek , @ cruzargel , @ jermitano, @apeatan Salamat po sa mga reply ninyo. As I have mention I'm totally noob in terms of using my GS2 and

I appreciate your every opinion guys.

Well I guess I will try to read a lot of threads here.. thanks again :)
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
in order to underclock the phone you need to be rooted.

you will then need to flash a kernel that supports underclocking/undervolting. my favorites are phenomenal, neak and siyah in that order.

you then use a volting app like voltage control or setcpu to chenge these settings. you can use gek's settings as they will usually run in most phones.

if youre not rooted yet, you can look into the sync settings of your apps and switch them to manual or a longer interval. also dont keep brightness on auto and try to keep it at the lowest comfortable setting. all, things being equal, it it still the screen and background process that potentially use the most battery.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
wow 8 hours of heavy use with stock kernel and a tweaked LPB? lpb is an ics based rom right? i had this impression and experience from some as well that ics leaked rom bases consume higher power and the best ive seen of someone using stock kernel is 4 hrs heavy usage...id like to know your build so as we would know if it can be used as a control for benchmarking if you wont mind...

btw im being sarcastic here hahaha
[Galaxy S II General] robbienenson:
Well said man.. just what i need.. salamat po
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
if you want to go custom and still maintain the stock feel of your phone i suggest you go first with villainrom...from there you can test and modify anything you want with your phone...or you can go hyperdroid or checkrom...everything you need to know you can find at the first page of their threads...

with voltages, not yet. but as my experience before in tweaking it i didn't see any big difference in battery with it so i didn't do it yet with this rom. for the frequency as much as possible i don't want underclocking my sgs2 as i want it running at stock frequency, just a standard comparison with the other roms.:D i've only tested LP6 kernel by...i forgot the name of that guy, i think it is the only custom kernel yet for ICS, and it consumed more. just curious what are your activities with your sgs2, in heavy

wow that is really loooonnggg...:D this is on hyperdroid right? are you able to adjust its saturation? i don't know how to describe it but if it is a picture i find its screen too dirty, too high iso on any screen mode i put it in. and the auto backlight is too low for me.

i guess is undervolted, stock speed?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yup...brightness saturation is 25% steps per movement of the scaler...no problems with the resolution of the screen (i keep mine at 30% without auto brightness and no auto lcd adjustment)...this is just slight undervolting as i want the balance of power and performance without lags and SOD...i use geko's set as a base to undervolt (posted on my sig) then tweaked voltage one by one till i get the perfect set for my phone...speed is from 200-1200 but for more battery i pull it down to 1000
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
I flashed hyperdroid again have undervolted a bit but haven't tested thoroughly im still charging my phone. Maybe tonight or tomorrow morning i'll have a result with this. You didnt undervolted/underclocked gpu?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
low is set at 114 under 850 (as the posted 800 of geko cant take it)...you will have to test it for yourself as every phone has a unique reaction to uv/oc/uc...you can use the base then from there you can tweak the voltage one by one...
