I saw them a few days a go, their pretty cool hey.

I just don't like the angle they sit on makes it so you have too hold the controller up to my face.

I made another (much like my previous ) a few days ago with a bit more of an angle.

Feels much better to hold.

His one just much more convenient though haha

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
First place to start is by reading all the FAQS and GUIDES#

Second place is to search as you are number one million posting the same question .

Fail to see why you want to root as phone with zero knowledge .

Most used root is

Root + CWM .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

But you will need to read and understand the instructions .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stefoos:
i know that it's the most common question but its very complicated with all this stuff. I never ask without any search before :)

if i dont start to "play" with the phone i ll never learn how it works and all this things.

i know that i have to read and understand the instructions and i have no problem with this.

i have change so many phones and i read so many things

but its my first android so i have to start from somewhere :)

thanx for the infos !!

Hello :D Let me get staight to the point....So after 3 months of owning my s2 I just realised that the sd card in it was a 8gb class 2 micro sd card. And that just won't do! So I've been scouring the internet for some kind of a good sd card. Of course I want the best for the best right? So I've been trying to find a 16GB class 10. But I don't want to pay too much money for it.

So I've found this sd card:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054KHY8C/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

And this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00698ZUHK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_g147_i7?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Y1NVT4GBQ6KCPJC1XEG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

So can anyone help me choose a right one? and maybe provide some links? I would really be glad if it was on amazon.co.uk only :P

Thanks a lot

i don't think that a class 10 card will be that much different from class 6 card for use with the SGS2.

you better stick with SanDisk Or Samsung cards , even if they are a little expensive but they are good quality.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JJEgan:
Good supplier good brand name is all i would bother with . Been running a no name class 2 16Gb for months no problems . But it would have been a own brand product from one of the big outlets probably Amazon .

Stick with sandisk or transcend and you won't go wrong. In terms of class, i don't think it will make that big of a difference on your phone. Just stick above class 4 and you should be fine.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] dimspace:
I would never buy anything other than sandisk. Got countless ones knocking around in various sizes and classes, been trodden on, dropped in water, in and out of different phones, into readers upside down and back to front and never an ounce of problems. Rock solid.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] caliber2001:
I can just confirm that, tried with others but finally I have always bought sandisk. Now the only other card is 8GB which I get in Nokia 5800 sales pack.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeremiya:
I bought http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...s/MB-MSBGA/EU?subsubtype=micro-sd-accessories and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I had crazy luck with the store which was selling it under the real price and bought it for only ~25 euros. Two days later (and ~20 more sold microsd cards to all my friends) they corrected the price. :)

Anyways, being class 10, this card is awesome. Read speeds are very high, and I don't see any difference between the internal memory and this card either, although I haven't done any real tests, just the everyday usage.

Also, I have huge amount of it filled with music and pictures, and the phone seems to cope with it just fine, so I give you full recommendation for this one.

PS: It came with two year warranty, even here in Serbia! :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] WWLK:
Always buy Sandisk :P Also I think the class difference is only apparently when taking HD videos to prevent stuttering when recording.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] One B&G:
The class rating of your micro SD card generally defines how quickly information can be read from or written to the card.

If you’re recording a lot of high-definition videos and snapping high-megapixel shots, Class 6 and above is enough.Higher number will ensure that your device won’t slow down between shots.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_karana:
Me too.

This came up for me too, last night, but I'm running stock Touchwiz/gingerbread 2.3.3.

I've rooted and unlocked my phone and have Clockworkmod but that's it.

Phone is a gt-i9100m running KG2. Carrier is Virgin Canada.

I'm more concerned about why this is came up. The app of course wants every permission in the book. Has my carrier, or phone, been compromised?

I'm super paranoid about giving Superuser. The only app with an automatic Accept is Terminal Emulator. So it's not some rogue root usage causing this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_karana:
Turns out this is a bug in the market, where carrier-provided apps on your phone will confuse the market into thinking they are a different, existing Market application.

Unsure whether doing this update would replace the carrier-provided app, whichever it is, with this strange Russian one..

Google "Karoges" for more details on a similar issue, where a test app shows up in place of the stock Samsung video player.

Regardless of whether this is harmless or a potential vector for attack, it needs to be resolved on Google Play's end. I submitted a Bug feedback, please do the same if you come across this!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
I noticed that test app aswell. I tried a few apps with freezing. (Rom Toolbox) but that didn't display it. I will give Titanium a go but I have a feeling it won't display the two apps (Unless you have had success then thank you!).

Only time you really notice it is when your on the new Google Play with the two options in "My Apps". "Installed" and "All".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I have not seen it since 2.3.3 but then again i have no stock rom since then .

Dodgy looking OJSC Mobile Telesystems app

Freezing the social hub (rather than removing it) seems to be good enough to persuade the unwanted app to disappear from Google Play.

I presume this is popping up because we've installed an Eastern European ROM

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymundka:
What this app actually is

I've found this (pls note that C reads S in Russian)

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/communication/mts-voicemail_ccffs.html

I think it's no maleware, it only appears as an update at Play Store by some mistake. I had this update around May/June last year and it messed up my phone totally. The update made all apps force close and I had to make a factory reset.

That time I was on some 2.3.4 build, now on XXLPQ 4.0.3

My phone is factory unlocked and I live in Hungary.

For your own sake, DO NOT install the update and turn off automatic updates.

I'm not sure it's worth remove stock apps just in order not to see it among available updates.

What I did here was:

3)open up the old market app found in all your apps. Once open, click on "my apps" and you will see that it is now gone.

check this out:

Update: As we suspected, Seven seriously erred in giving the same App ID and signing certificate to two different apps, and that's the core problem. We spoke with Google, who provided some clarification on what happened here. Google says that there was a bug that caused the Russian version of the mail app to erroneously appear in the "My Apps" section of Google Play for a large number of Android users. However, Google says that it disabled the app some time ago, so it was never actually installed on any devices. Google is currently working on a fix for the "My Apps" issue.

Second, the dag gone battery won't die:) I have the extended, After using the phone all day yesterday and using my flashlight last night, almost for got the 7, 1 minute videos I made, this battery is at 73%. The stats are telling me I have been on battery for 21 hours, 27 minutes and 37 seconds. THATS AWESOME

When I went to bed this morning around 4 am I was still at 73%, that was nearly 21 hours of light to minimal usage. I was amazed.

As of this moment I have been up for about 4.5 hours and I am at 98% battery so 2% battery usage in 4.5 hours. Granted I have not really touched my phone but still that is amazing stand by drain.
