Hello...just checking in to see if there are still any active GS2 users from Pakistan here...

Gotta love this piece of equipment!
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
It was indeed a great phone... I moved on about 2 years ago tho...

[Galaxy S II General] morff14:
I've tried several times but just can not get over it lol. Even having replaced several hardware components inside it (water damage and several thrashings on the wall/floor) it still feels like the most original piece of shiite ever lol.

Well tbh the main reason I cant get used to another phone is it's size and weight. Anything bigger I find inconvenient. Btw what are your recommendations for a switch after this phone? nexus 5?
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Well it really depends on your price range... But my top recomendation would be the oneplus one... I got one for the wife and it's brilliant. If not that then wait for the nexus 6... Otherwise if you can afford it go for the G3... Tho the N5 is still a good phone for it's price, only problem being not too good battery life, otherwise is great.

3G in pakistan ...

i wonder when are we going to get 3G :/
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
I guess a month ago, PTA asked for 3g bidding. It didn't went successful. 3g will never become famous in pakistan due to high mobile data charges.
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
actually the 3G license is going up for bidding again.

But who knows, Etsilaat is working with Huawei on introducing 4g in UAE, if it happens there then sooner or later Etsilaat can probably introduce it here too.

(Etsilaat owns PTCL/Ufone)

I'm honestly tired of using slow ass GPRS on such high prices.

Hi n Salam!!! can u please guys suggest me some offline maps for Pakistan? when i was in Dubai i saw there we can use Nokia ovi maps with live voice navigation that was really impressive im pretty much interested to have that kind of android app in my SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
To get offline maps:

First of all download a modded version of Google maps with enabled navigation

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132

All you need to do after you get this up and running is go to labs, enable pre-cache map area, then long press anywhere on the map and a popup will show up, just choose pre-cache map area and the area that appears in the square will be precached.Do similarly for the whole city.Doesn't matter how zoomed in you are, it will be saved on all levels.

btw I'm not sure if Navigation will work offline, try it out.
[Galaxy S II General] samydroid:
Try Sygic navigation. Its purely offline because you have your maps stored in your sd card. Plus its voice navigation is clear and better than google's.

[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
sources are nothing more than stupid propaganda.

plans for the introduction of 3G started even before this government and yet there are no signs of it in the future.As long as PTA is ran by dumbheads, you can expect our progress to be slow.

The bidding for the 3G license was supposed to be in this month.

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

btw even if we get 3G, the data charges will be extremely high.This was the reason why both cellular companies and the government weren't interested couple of years back.

Plus hardly a small percentage of mobile phone users in Pakistan have smartphones that are 3G capable.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

I'm sorry but all that mattered in my post was in English.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I would suggest you to go with CM9 if you can live with a broken camcorder or MIUI V4.Sammy ICS is just not worth it.

I'm currently on MIUI GB and its been my most favorite ROM so far.
[Galaxy S II General] TheFaixy:
isnt jazz giving 3g on their tablet?
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
I guess kies isn't officially supported for Pakistan. My suggestion is to always update the phone through ODIN.

Regarding ICS, there are few roms, but all of them has bugs. The main bug is poor touch sensitivity and double SMS issue. You can surely try CM9, Resurrection Remix ics, and Turkbey. I am using turkbey ICS rom, and perfectly happy with it.
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
No brother only PTCL is giving 3G services, through evo, their smartphone and tablet.

BTW jazz is not a company it is prepaid brand of Mobilink.
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
it is supported but for it to work you need....

1: official firmware which is europe already

2: fresh installed kies installed as uk.

it will give you ics. plus it takes some time. its always better to use odin.
[Galaxy S II General] NOMIOMI:
and also the HYDROG3NICS by pardoxxx is one the best and more option then other any ics rom
[Galaxy S II General] hussainmushahid:
for SII, probably not.For other devices, Yes.
[Galaxy S II General] sohebq:
Yeah I always use ODIN. Kies is the culprit of all.
[Galaxy S II General] TheFaixy:

[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:

[Galaxy S II General] pHraiL^:
Or that cassette type of thing, you plugin one head of the wire into your phone and insert the cassette into your car tape. It works great and isn't expensive. Used for old car models.
[Galaxy S II General] waris_arsh:
just for the piece of information guys

Ive tried many custom and different stock roms ... Even cm9 and checkrom v6 .... But the best i found and currently im using is DarkyROM HD XXLPQ for ICS .... and for GGB ... DarkyROM HD 1.1 XXKL1 FINAL .... Rock solid ... Very fast and excellent battery ...
[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:
My next aim ....

Guys ... Since having 3g in our country has just become a dream to us ...

I have planned to the following upgrations with my GS2 to have a full flash and fully functional 3g on my phn :D

I dunno whether any of u might thought of it or not .. But since ive done research on this .. So i thought to share it here on our own thread and with my pals :D

So here it goes ...

U might heard that TENDA has introduced a new PORTABLE WIFI BATTERY POWERED router in the market ... Which is designed specifically to share the internet of 3G enabled USB DONGLE ...

The router it self is only palm sized device ... Which can be easily fit in ur pockets ... It has one RJ45 socket .. One mini usb port and one USB dongle socket .. Company claims that it gives 6 hours battery backup easily ...

U can google TENDA 3G150B ...

It cost around 3500PKR which is i think quite affordable ...

Now all those who are just abt to raise a question that why dont we buy the PTCL WIFI CLOUD instead of this ...

if u go for PTCL CLOUD ... U have many limitations there .. First of all .. U will have to stick with ONLY PTCL network .. 2ndly its more costly ... 3rdly it does not have any extra ports or sockets ..

And the latest is .. Ive heard that there is a PTCL evo 3g package which is as low as 750 a month ??
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
I think you should check if your evo stick is supported by tenda's modem. I am saying that because I use WDLXTV and it does not support all wifi usb dongles. And in case you buy it and it is not supported your money will be wasted.
[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:

[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:
btw whats WDLXTV ???

Its Western Digital Hd media player. Hows is eveyone here i am from pakistan currently living in uk. Just wanted to say to hello to all pakistani in this forum
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
I was saying it for you. :) I am not going for this idea. I work for Mobilink. 3G auction will take place this year. Equipment is already upgraded, lets see what happens.

It is custom firmware for WDTV.

Hi there mate. thanks for answering.
[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:
Hello to yew too :)
[Galaxy S II General] salmanghiyas:
btw bro ... this 3G bidding and all stuff related to it has been an issue from time .. okay .. even if its going to be launched this year ... the charges are not going to be less ... this is my own opinion .. wud not be les then 1500Rs a month for a data plan
[Galaxy S II General] NOMIOMI:
guys no know exactly when will we have 3g in Pakistan

ICS for pakistan

Hi

does anyone know when will we get ICS update for s2 in Pakistan?

I have galaxy s2 GTi9100, It doesnt have arabic and urdu language in it but other european languages. Does it mean that I have "international version" or the "stolen version"?
[Galaxy S II General] taqri85:
You have the international version. Official ICS has already been launched for it. You can use odin to flash it. It will not reset your custom binary counter. Don't know when it will be available through kies in Pakistan.
[Galaxy S II General] searchit:
thanks for the info.

So updating without kies is good? I thought kies update is the only legit way to get around it... :/

Also It doesnt display urdu sms well. I even installed urdu plugin from market but it doesnt seem to do the trick. :(

Does anyone know what to do about it?
[Galaxy S II General] taqri85:
Yes updating through Odin is fine until you are using stock rom. About the Urdu messages, you need the RTL (right-to-left) fix in Gingerbread while in Ice cream Sandwich the support for rtl is native. So once you switch to ics, urdu messages will display fine. Hope this information was helpful to you.
[Galaxy S II General] tipu2185:
Use stock JPKJ2 gingerbread rom if you want to write in urdu other than reading in urdu. RTL patch will only enable ROM to read urdu.

ICS has stock RTL support so udru can be display. though not 100% correctly. To write in urdu we will need rom which released for Pakistan or UAE. Both normally have urdu writing support.
[Galaxy S II General] searchit:
thanks tariq and tipu

I am watching youtube vids about roms. I never rooted my phone before and never even bothered to learn abotu roms and rooting. But now it seems I cant wait for ICS update via kies. I will try updating my phone through odin tomorrow.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
Dear XDA users!

Please help me to solve the above problem. I have a brand new Galaxy Mini and the problem is:

- if i make a call no one can hear me, and i can't hear anybody

- if i have an incoming call, it's the same

- after that events all audio on the phone are muted (plus strange that the camera stops working too)

So if I don't make a call or haven't got incoming calls everything is all right. I can hear the dialing tones, the clicks, when i'm clicking on icons and so on.

Now I put back the original stock T-Mobile HUN 2.3.4 firmware (S5570XWKQ5). Nothing changed. When a call started everything go wrong.

The device is SIM unlocked with BML5 method. Before this actual stock rom I replaced the stock with CM9 using CWM.

I tried many custom roms, the problem still exists. And as I said it exists on the stock rom.

I'm totally lost with this thing, i can't use my new phone. Did I do something wrong? I can't believe it's hardware fault. But no success on stock, custom, etc...

Thanks!

Edit:

Forgot to mention, at first on the stock rom, I was trying to SIM unlock with this code: *2767*3855#

Don't know if it matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mattempus:
