[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:

[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
yes, go to basement and look for "connect" shop. They have all the acc. However, they charge slightly higher rates than the market
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
Thanks for replies. I will check it out some day I live very far from pindi sadar. Do u sit in market or u happened to buy some things from them
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
I also suggest ordering from one of the online sites if your up for that... like mgadgets... good branded products at less markup than competitors... email them and tell them what your looking for... they can generally arrange it and deliver...

I buy things from them quite often. They provide quality. Well, on the ground floor, you will find 5-7 shops for accessories.

As an alternate, you can check out www.homeshopping.com.pk. They have good collection of accessories. They will also help in purchasing from online stores.
[Galaxy S II General] max621:
I also purchased from connekt shop.. Quality stuff... I purchased following things last week....

OTG 250

Hdmi adapter 980

JIG 350..

Press Thanks - if it helps you..
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
Kindly share the list and prices of the accessories bought. This will help fellow brothers in keeping the understanding of market price.

Doesn't look that good. There customer service page is in some other language. No word on delivery price as well, plus it looks expensive. I bought xmart silicon case black for sgs II for 600 rs. They have for rs. 999 without delivery charges.

Little help please

hello everyone...

i am noob here...and have very little experience with android devices...

I have Galaxy s2, from Saudi Arabia but i am using it in Lahore, Pakistan. As i am just here for 1 one year and will be back in my Country, Nepal..I dont know how to explain you, i am really depressed and frustrated with some of the errors on my device...Market, Youtube, Gmail and other stuffs which requires login are not working on it...so i am totally unable to download anything from google play...The browser of the device is working fine and from there i can log in to youtube and gmail, but from the apps they are not working...Login to Gmail account say "Can't establish a reliable data connection to server" and the youtube login says "there was a problem starting up.Please check your network connection and system time"...I have tried most of the tips and tricks with no luck...and really dont want to create new thread as there are more like this one...

so any one who had this kind of problem and were able to solve it please share with me...

Ya bro i did that...I need lil help on this matter too...

My device is not connecting to Google play store and other apps like youtube and facebook through WiFi but through UFONE packet data is connecting and i can also download and use Google Play..

Buthaving really hard time to set it to connect and download apps with WiFi...so guys plz help me with the setting..I am in lahore, Punjab University..

Also does rooting help in WiFi connection with Google play and other applications..?? If yes then which root should i use, i have Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100

PDA : i9100JPKJ2

Phone : i9100XXKI4

CSC : i9100OJPKJ1

Plz guide me...

One more request, Can i post my Mobile number so that it can be more helpful..
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
Universities have normally restricted net that might be the case. I dont know about PU but in UET it was like that. Check it at some other place (WIFI)
[Galaxy S II General] prototype_dx:
Yes, PU uses proxy.. but why is that i can browse from stock browser and not been able to use apps...!!! I checked in Hafeez centre there are it was not working..The shop guy told me that problem will be solved after flash and downgrading GB 2.3.5 to 2.3.2....I was scared as the phone is from Saudi and the warrenty might be voided and said NO...

So, anyhow If i upgrade to ICS will it solve my WiFi issue...??

Any guys also tell me that can i share my Mobile number here.!!..Coz i really need to talk to someone to understand more about the phone...Its my first experience with android device and i know nothing about them..
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
its not a firmware issue at all,,, i guess you might need to configure proxy setting under wifi connection and this setting can only be given by network admin at PU. I had such problem in my uni comsats islamabad,,, it worked after he applied sme proxy settings

sent from S2
[Galaxy S II General] prototype_dx:
Ok,

what then, will Google play work..?? Coz i got the proxy and have already set it up from setting>wireless and network>WiFi settings, then menu> advanced>Then set the Proxy and port give by my Uni...Browser and Skype working fine but still Play, Youtube and Download not working...:(:(

Now is there any other way by which i can use Play through WiFi...?

Is rooting an option?
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
Either clear the application cache of all the apps you have mentioned or reinstall them. Rooting will not affect this.

You Must have Latest Siyeh Kernel in your sgs2 devices other wise usb otg will not work

DO IT YOUR OWN RISK BROTHERS

here is the method for making your own usb otg

there is no need to buy special cable

first buy any usb cable which work with sgs2 like charging and transfer of data between computer and sgs2

and secondly buy any cable which one end USB HUB or Female Usb end OR Usb Socket

DO IT YOUR OWN RISK BROTHERS

here is the video for making sub otg cable MUST WATCH THIS CAREFULLY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8Fd9tk5DYY&feature=relmfu

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

If you want to use it for working OTG adapter you have to connect the micro usb connector 4. pin to GND (5. pin).

Like this:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

here is another screenshots for making usb otg

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

A: power (VBUS)

D: USB 2.0 differential pair (D−)

B: USB 2.0 differential pair (D+)

E: USB OTG ID for identifying lines (The one not connected in your image)

C: GND

so simply connect E with C and that should do it.

1) I think it'll look better in person.

2) More megapixels does not mean better quality.

3) Actually it has gorilla glass 2. Better than what we have.

4) The Exynos used is actually faster than the Tegra 3 used in One X. Exynos is 32nm while Tegra is 45nm.

5) Doesn't necessarily make it a con. Our SGS2 is far lighter than any other phone. Comparatively the SGS3 is heavier yes but that doesn't make it heavy.

6) It's actually a different sensor than what we have.

7) You already said that.

8) Not necessarily. You haven't used it. Reviews say that is has better build quality than the Galaxy Nexus which I find to be pretty good.

I'm not trying to start an argument though. I was just bored.

Yar we will see when it comes to pak ! Dude you might not know about phones but personally I have one x razor max s2 arc s and old evo 3d .

Gorilla Glass 2. Schooled.
[Galaxy S II General] samydroid:
True bro! I also don't understand this. So what if one x also has quadcore, 8mp cam, 720p screen? Does S3 or any other cellphone maker lose the right to offer these features just because htc rolled out these features a couple of month ago in their rushed and faulty one X?

And its just not the specs, its how they make the overall experience better than others. And we all know that despite having a 1.5Ghz dual core and so called "better built quality", sensation xe couldn't make it to best smartphone of the year. :cool:

I really admire the new software innovations that Samsung has introduced in S3. So, also waiting for the price drop. :D

Just to add bigger battery as well. Also for camera its about having better sensor than more megapixels. Plus I personally I think S2 is too light weight. Lastly 4.8" does not look that much bigger than 4.3" so on that note I would say great design.

I am facing battery issues. I have to recharge it twice a day. I bought brand new phone under Mobo's warranty 10 days ago.

Also my phone is Made in Vietnam and have Gingerbread. I am unable to locate ICS for it. Anyone knows where I can get ICS (official not modified) for it?

Where I can get this cable? I am in Okara but have some friends in Lahore but they will need exact location.

Good to hear. Where we can get it and price ?
[Galaxy S II General] samydroid:
what is your usage with this battery life?

also check if your set is I9100 or I9100g? samsung has just started rolling out ics for i9100g so you might have to wait a bit if yours is G model.
[Galaxy S II General] sinjinn:
If you don't want to flash an unofficial ROM then don't update. I updated here in the UK but it slowed everything down. Scrolling in websites became sticky, switching between screens slowed down, everything was like i was on a galaxy s1.

Even though i had not wanted to i had to move to cyanogen mod because the official ics was so bad. Trust me bro, don't upgrade, it's not worth it.
[Galaxy S II General] xpresservers:
its plain i9100 not g. I am trying to locate official ics to keep my warranty. My phone always connected to internet via wifi

Thanks for the info bro
[Galaxy S II General] TSKXDA:
I am somewhat disappointed with S3. It's like Iphone 4S release. I really thought that this time Samsung will take the game from Apple's hand altogether. I was specially expecting improvements in camera, even if not the increased mega pixels, the optics had to improve. Also I was expecting improvements in Audio as current S2 is really weak in this area.

There are some cool software tweaks that Samsung have made but I know that S2 will get most of them, thanks to XDA :-D.

So right now, there isn't any immediate compelling reason to upgrade. I will wait till next Galaxy Note update to see if I need a new phone :-)
[Galaxy S II General] runedrune:
It has a newer sensor so how do you know there aren't improvements in the camera? And it uses wolfson this time. So we get to see some supercurio magic.
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
you can always unroot and reset the flash counter to claim warranty.

The S3 is the new king of Android but it really hasn't lived up to the hype.But just like the 4S it will sell like hot cakes.

The baddest thing I find about the S3 is the design, the blue one is extremely ugly.This is an interesting article to read about the S3s design:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...irst-smartphone-designed-entirely-by-lawyers/

Also the phones are getting too big now, 4-4.2'' is the ideal screen.
