Hi i just bought a 32g sd card and i want to change my storage location from the internal sd to my new sd card. On my atrix it was really easy all i had to do was go into settings. But i cant find how to change it on the S2. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gunnyman:
You change it from every app. It's a real pain.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzikphan:
I was wondering if I could flash this (UK version) Defy+ MB526 Firmware on a MB525 (red lens) without any problem?

Could someone be so kind as to share a little knowledge here?

Thanks in advance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMayor:
I flashed this full sbf and now no 3g and no market, trying to downgrade, hope to find and answer.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premaca:
I dont think there is a downgrade after you flash full-sbf. we can only use cm9 and GB kernel roms after that.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sferrariba:
you can not do that. Defy and Defy+ have locked bootloader that wont allow the downgrade. Still there is hope for your phone, your issues are quite solvable. You should root your phone, install baseband switcher for 3g, then install custom recovery and then flash google apps, all of this you can find it in the dev section.

If you ask there I would gladly help
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Html5Clouds:
u can flash ms2ginger, argentstone, CM7, CM9 but to install there u must root your phone, custom recovery...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtcabot:
Has anyone gotten IPSec (either L2TP/IPSec w/ PSK or IPSec Xauth PSK) to work on ICS (4.0.3) with pfSense 2.0.1? I'm looking for clues. It's not working for me.

The closest I've gotten this to work is by setting level 1 to aggressive/DES/MD5 and level 2 to ESP/AES(auto)/MD5.

Not sure if this is part of the problem though:

racoon: INFO: login failed for user "XXXXXXXX"

racoon: DEBUG: Attribute XAUTH_USER_PASSWORD, len 15

racoon: DEBUG: Attribute XAUTH_USER_NAME, len 8

racoon: DEBUG: Short attribute XAUTH_TYPE = 0

but the passwd is 14 chars long.

Has anyone gotten ICS to link up with pfSense 2.0.1?

Siri is a con. Siri are for fanboys who love their phones so much that they have no friends. I picture Siri causing mental illness
[Galaxy S II General] Fizzerr:
If he's a true Apple Fanboy you'll never convince him. They're blinded by the Apple marketing machine which tells them what to buy and when to buy it. As long as you realise iOS is a pOS that's all that matters!
[Galaxy S II General] Prankey:
Haha very true! Recently one of my colleague bought TWO iPhone 4Ss (one for him and another for his wife!). He was boosting like he has got a gold mine before I told him about GS2. He started telling that some Chinese phones even have TV tuners :D

I couldn't stop laughing at his ignorance that he was comparing SGS phones to Chinese replicas! Realized that he is just a small kid who never BOTHERED exploring the market to understand what he is going for. Thats what I call true iPhonetic! :D
[Galaxy S II General] NatTheCat:
I used to be an Apple fan, then I took an arrow to the knee.

Seriously tho, it won't be long till alot of them realize Android is the real king.

Thinking on tbh I'm glad people are Apple fan boys who are blinded by the fruit because we as a community of Androidians would never be the same. Aka - We dont want dipshits on our hype.
[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
Have you been around here lately? We already have dipshits all over the place. We need the dip**** terminator. Where is Arnold when you need him?

For all you Android fanboys - stop trying to prove a point. Android is good for people who want control over their device and aren't afraid to tinker with stuff. iOS is good for people who don't care, and just want their phone to work straight out of the box.

Android is getting more intuitive with ICS, but its still not as intuitive for new users as iOS. Deal with it. I absolutely love my SGS2 and Android, but I'm not about to fool myself (or anyone else) that Android is right for everyone.
[Galaxy S II General] leminhnguyen0703:
What he said ^^^

I still have a 3gs which my sis gave me. I still play with games and use it as an ipod, also it can be used as an emergency fone ( you dont say!). Iphones are more fitted to people who just want a phone that works, games, entertainment. Android phones are for people who isn't afraid to muck around with their ****s. iOS and Android are both equally good and fitted for different purpose.

[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
+1. Best comment on here. Stock galaxy s2 has nothing on a stock(not jail broken) ip4s. But im into tinkering thats why the iphone isnt for me. :D

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
Iphone is the best smartphone in the world. Even the first iphone is much faster and smoother than the cheap plasticky SGSII. Glass is much more stronger even than titanium, and much costlier, that's why other manufacturers don't afford to use it.

Previous iphone had the 4G's, the Wi-Fis and sh!t and was cool, any fool can realize that the new iphone has 4Ses and not just 2 as the Galaxy, hence is twice as faster!

Android not good, it's only for rocket scientists.

Just to call someone you need to read "Android for Dummies, 3rd Edition" - chapter 10 "How can I make a phone call" and then read FAQ section: "How do I end a phone call".

Installing an app is covered in Chapter 45, Section 18 - screen by screen instructions with drawings.
[Galaxy S II General] OriginsOfLewis:
iPhones are more of a status symbol than anything else. Apple give you a phone with pretty basic features and you will love it because it has a little badge on it. Samsung give you a phone with the capabilities of a mid-range PC. I'm not for or against both, I own a PC and a Mac, an S2 and an iPad. It's personal preference at the end of the day.

If anyone knows of a Winterboard equivalent for Android please let me know!

[Galaxy S II General] harise100:
It puzzles me why when ever somebody starts a discussion like this a bunch of apple fanboys show up? Are you patrolling the internet looking for somebody who might insult your beloved icon?

Besides, what are you doing at xda in the first place. This is a forum for modders apple does not want you to do such things...
[Galaxy S II General] ste1164:
Same thing can be said for android fanboys who go on apple forums and do exactly the same thing. No point in arguing over a phone everyone has preferences.

I really do not understand r the meaning of these treads. If you feel comfortable with iPhone use it. If you feel comfortable with Android use it and if you feel comfortable with windows phone use it. I am happy there is competition, it is always in customers interest. I still bought a ipad2 to my parents, I'm my opinion it is much more usable than android tablets. For me I used to have an iphone4 without jailbreak not to void warranty, now

I have two android phones and feel free but I never tried to impose anything to anybody.

In the future maybe there will be something better and I will change again...

[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
Don't try to be a saint. If he likes the iPhone, let him keep it. If he doesn't like Android and you convinced him to buy an Android phone, he is going to blame it on you. The iPhone is not a bad phone. It's too expensive and Apples corporate ideals are strait from the old days, but iOS good. Boring but good.

If he shows interest in Android, help him along ;-)

Anyway that's my 50 cents.
[Galaxy S II General] Cheerpipe:
Things are simple.

Most of iphone owners are just not ready for an Android phone, and feel safe and cool with they apple product.

Most of the Android owners are people who want more and more from their smartphone and are smart enough to do that.

Pd: even my grandmother can play with my sgs2

Let's be fair, the Galaxy S2 has won phone of the year, it's pretty much outright better than a 4S, Apple have just builded up such a hype on all their products that no other phone has much of a chance of making it's name

Apple haven't really made of of the thinnest smart phones yet, and in a drop test, the S2 is so much more reliable, so if you're the type that drops his/her's phone a lot, I would suggest not getting a glassed up iPhone that cause so much grief when you drop it :D

[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
If I remember the iPhone 4S wasn't in the competition on gadget of the year, iPhone 4 was instead. Which maybe why Galaxy S2 won. I had iPhone 4S before, I gave it to my brother because having two phone isn't really ideal. I do prefer iPhone 4S and iOS regardless of the customisation that Android offers. But wanted to wait for Ice cream sandwich first then i'll decide whether to get an iPhone 4S (Again). Also I already spent quite abit for Apps on iOS compared to Android.

It still pathetic how people compare phones, at the end there both good phones but iPhone 4S offers some better stuff but thats because it came out later than the Galaxy S2. Just live with it, theres always a better phone later.
[Galaxy S II General] kr1pt:
In Croatia, iPhone 4S costs about 1250€ and S2 costs about 650€. Why is it iPhone more precious than S2. iPhone is pretty good phone, but it is a little bit overrated. It's famous so Apple raises prices for their products. My friend has 4S and he can kiss my ass, S2 has much faster browser and much better camera. + much more user-friendly. iOS is good, but Android is better imo. iPhone is just for people that have a lot of money and have no idea where to spend it.
[Galaxy S II General] Sesshou:
I'll tell you, i tried going to back to iOS, because it really is smoother, and less lag, more games, apps, but why i decided to stay with my GSII? i missed the menu option too much, everywhere i want to see a menu option, it's more about features, also missed the back button (why must there be an always visible back button inside the screen?) the drawer, why must all apps must be icons on the homescreen? without forgetting the widgets those 4 features alone makes android a better choice to iOS (to me)

On the phones, simply put i can't consider a 3.5 inch phone even an option to me, regardless of the OS, watching a movie on a bigger SAMOLED+ screen is really something else.
[Galaxy S II General] GRiM-UK:
Very well said.

I bought an iPhone just before Xmas to see what it was like and I can see teh appeal to some types of people/needs etc.

I can see myself using both OS's as daily driver but prefer Android for widgets and more control aswell as custom roms ofcourse :D
[Galaxy S II General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Saw iPod 2 - guys, no way ever existing Android pad can be compared with it... Design, working speed, Smith, even screen - like a paper. Android need to go a Way to became the same powerfull, neat, good looking. Base almost the same - iOs build on FreeBsd, Android - on Linux. For me always FreeBsd was faster and less recourse required. But this doesnot so matter. But - never will understand using Dalvik Virtual machine! What's the reason? Ios - just graphic interface under FreeBsd, like KDE or Gnome, but a way better. But it is Native! Not VM!

So even Windows Phone interface now smoother! Less recourse hunting...

Yes, both Ios and WP very closed systems - no USB mass storage, special programmes to sync... But - look at ICS! Is there usb mass storage? No! In next version they will do special program to sync you see!

So Android has his points... But lets don't became Androholicks and look at things with clear eyes.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
Firstly, please use paragraphs

You like the ipad2 design, I get it. Others may have different opinions.

if android is linux, ios is unix

btw, your understanding of VMs, like xp virtual machines is completely different to Dalvik VM.

MTP is a better implementation actually for media transfer actually. Your phone can still access the sdcard whereas if it was USB mass storage, this isn't the case.

Read up on how MTP works please, yes it is new. But we are definitely better for it.

Not required, it already syncs to your account on google.
[Galaxy S II General] eseregin:
Yes, thanks, i will use structured answer.

The thing is not about design. Not only design.

Yes, design IPad 2 - the best imho. BTW, if you have differ opinion, could you please share it with me? Whats better in your opinion in design?

Screen - it is amazing... I wish i had such screen on SGS2. Yes, Super AMOLED has better power saving (not on white background though, so web browsing very compared on power consumption), but screen on IPad really impressive...

And OS - it is kinda boring for IOs for me, yes, but very accurate interface or how it say... Fast? Yes, enough. Keyboard though so strange on IOs 8-)

So i watched PDF file - very comfortable reading, fonts great, smooth, angle of view strangely big, was surprised.

BTW sound chip on IPhone imho better though then our Yamaha... Cannot understand why Samsung did not implement the same Wolfsong chip as in SGS 1... So music on IPhone little better imho...

But we have really great opportunity to watch and listen on any file formats, thanks to Samsung for HW acceleration for DIVX and XVID 8-)

Aha, it is.

Though implementation of Linux system not far from UNIX. Logic the same.

Kernel was created from scratch though. Dont know what better, UNIX has deep history, so might be more stable.

As i told, for me UNIX systems were more understandable and straight even in little differences in command syntax. I think if UNIX was released as Open Source on Linux license, Linux became unnecessary thing 8-)

About VM - i cannot argue with you cause dont know deeply structure of Dalvik. I have read a little about it, and depending it imho i think for now that this is unnecessary thing. Kinda virtual JAVA machine... Yes, writing programs on JAVA may be easier then on C++ for example... But it is depend.. All object oriented languages almost the same, not much different...

So translating code from JAVA to native - it cannot be faster. May be a little more stable, cause Dalvik kinda sander, can be isolated from System processes.

MTP good enough. BUT - MTP existed in GB as well. So Mass Storage was an OPTION - you can use as MTP, so Mass storage on GB. So removing options - less freedom of you. Less freedom - closer to Apple philosophy - use what you was told to do, no options. It is not good for system created on Open Source code! Free code for free people.

BTW, MTP controlled by OS, so it may be created some restrictions on file transfer, for example deny to transfer apks 8-) This is the protocol of controlling.

Media Transfer Protocol - MEDIA!

See the Wiki for compare protocols, MTP has a lot of weakness compared to USB Mass Storage, and for speed - for SURE more slower.

About syncing with Google - not a reason to not implement restricted way of moving data to phone... Sams has Kies for now, so will be the same bloody thing from Google. They went not right way.. The way of Apple, way of Microsoft - i can feel it 8-) Future will show who was right 8-) Hope i am wrong on it 8-)

Do you know how to distinct a video from an iphone on youtube from one made with any other phone or camera?

There are 2 black borders on each side which cover about 3/4 of the screen. The video is 1080p... in height, but with width of about 200 pixels. How ugly!

My question is, are the uploaders of these videos too stupid to configure their device or is this the default aspect ratio and can't be changed. I suspect the later...

I have sgs2 and ipod touch 4g, Ios only have better games and better music player, but otherwise Ios devices sucks, especially without jailbreak. In my opinion android and sgs2 are much better than iphone and ios

What about E-mail application?

E-mail on ios good, cannot compare to Android... Sad.

even Touchdown - good apk for Android Exchange definetly half as good....

I like my Sgs2, I like using 1 device for all. In this case this is the best.

As touchpad it is far from the best expirience for now
[Galaxy S II General] carloslopescj:
iPhone 4S is a good phone but IMO, is a overrated device! Yes, it's good, just like Galaxy S II. I think that most of the people that buy a iPhone 4s is too impress people and be a part of a "religion" and social statute.

iPhone 4S = Galaxy SII

iPhone 4S social statute > Galaxy SII

Galaxy SII fun (customization, sw development, etc) > iPhone 4S

And IMO, Galaxy S II is more beautiful than iPhone :P but that depends on the people taste.
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
You are misinformed. ICS does support Mass Storage Mode !!!

Galaxy Nexus doesn't support mass storage because the internal storage is now a single partition and you can't access live filesystems in this mode. Also the GNex doesn't have a microSD card slot.

Google thought it well. We can have best of both worlds without the app data partition running out of space. MTP for the internal memory and Mass Storage for the external SD. Pretty neat, aye ?

The only downside of MTP is that you can't see the hidden folders/files beginning with a (.)dot
[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
A cool part of the iOS/Apple ECO system is the network media handling.

My brother bought an iPhone and an iMac. He installed an App from Apple and now he can access his rather wast music library seamlessly from his iPhone and play anything he wants. No setup required at all. It just works. He can also buy an AppeTV and place it anywhere to transfer music. No additional setup required. It's all one-lick. Thats pretty hard to beat. Imagine setting that up with Android. It's a lot of work even for people who knows what the word "streaming" implies. It's no work at all with Apple products.

You can argue about the audio quality, but he doesn't care if it's not the best Hi-Fi quality ever.

[Galaxy S II General] Kokovche:
So true. They aim to the most expensive, which brings the best quality and social reputation.

I personally take what is practical for me and what fills my needs, SGSII does that. I dont hate Apple and their products, but overpriced for same hardware, i am not that stupid.
[Galaxy S II General] docsinghal:
I own both the phones.... and I feel both of them are great products in their own right.

SGS2 has better hardware and with ICS around the corner its really mouthwatering...

iPhone 4S on the other hand definitely has more style factor (exclusivity factor probably because of exorbitant pricing in India) and iOS is definitely easier to use for a noob.

Anyway my point is that I had thought that I will keep one of them but it's been a month and I have been unable to let go of either one.

They both are tempting.

Lastly, as they say, to each one his own!
