Can you post the Link
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
ITS SOLD OUT. in total there were 6 pieces 2 blacks , 4 metallic silver. Sold out in an hour.
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
hey i checked the site and couldnt find it. could u please share the link if u dont mind.. :)

you see, im very good in mind reading, provided u post your mind a few pages back :D by the way i went to palarivattom univercell yesterday and they told me that there price is 30.5k. so from which branch did u buy....

and one more thing. i went to the palarivattom Vodafone store today to inquire about the 3g offer. there were two customers and 6 staff. the customers were attended by two of the staff and the others where seriously 'chatting'. asked one of the staff where the inquiry is and he pointed towards an empty desk. sat there for around twenty mins. and then came back... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
the lowest price i could find out in kochi is 29,900/-
[Galaxy S II General] xotiq:
Yeah, i was just pulling your leg:D

Looks like the demand supply ratio is still in favor of retailers.

SGS II

4 more votes to reach 1000 for SGS II. I got my SGS II from Vodafone.its touch responsiveness is really awesome. I am waiting for 3G launch in B'lore. hope by this month end that 3G will be lauched by Vodafone.
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
Unfortunately Vodafone doesnt have 3G licenses for bangalore. They are just trying to retain customers by giving false promises.
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
I've pulled this from a old post, did you get away with SMS's being displayed in the call log? it is really annoying...also a basic question..let me know a app which would display the battery % on the notification bar?
[Galaxy S II General] SGSLover:
I had a SGS and since Friday i have a SGSII ... :)

Couldn't wait to get it ... now there is LightningRom 1.4 on it and it's the best Smarthphone I ever had !

Update on Equalizer.

A new version 2.01 has come into market. Do not install it. If you do then you will lose the custom preset that I suggested.

Because in the new version they have provided below options:

1. Create custom preset

2. Put these custom presets as shortcut on the main screen.

and some others and all things related to custom presets are locked away in free version. It means we can not have even a single custom preset with this new version.

A 1.99 dollar unlocker is provided.

There is some FC bug if you upgrade the version. They suggested a clean uninstall, and I did it. After that I'm unable to get older version.

So I'm forced to buy the unlocker (89Rs)

Feedbacks on the new version and unlocker i'll post tomorrow.....

Have a new unopened Amzer anti glare screen protector for s2 shipped from fommy.

Amzer® Anti-Glare Screen Protector with Cleaning Cloth For Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100

As this shipment was delayed I got another from a different source. If anyone in Bangalore needs it they can pick it up from me.
[Galaxy S II General] sathya1234:
^^ Sent u a PM.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] christian5916:
It's from Claro PR and it's called the GT-I9200 they told us is 4g but I havent tested it yet because my boss doesn't let me so if someone knows please tell my cause I'm thinking of reclaming my phone insuranse to get it that way it'll cost me $125 thanks and feel free to flame me cause of my bad writing. :-D
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Honestly speaking, as I've already posted earlier, Amazer screengurads are literally crap. Don't sell/give it to forum members (after they apply it you are likely to get a PM for sell/giv- ing a crap screen guard :-) ), try to return it back to Amazer.

However if Sathya or others wants to hold on to this screen saver for time being, until he gets some quality screen guard then its fine.
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
^^ Is ScratchGard better than amzer?

Also if possible can you post the screenshots of the case and the screen protector installed on your phone?

The customer service reps still don't know about the S2 offer!!! Ughh

And its on their main website mind you!

Well guys, just received some samples from Gadget Shieldz. Ill let you know of the fitment and quality this evening once i put it on. Otherwise the group deal with xtreme guard is good to go.

Great. Waiting for info about quality etc. :)
[Galaxy S II General] ankitkidd05:
Hey, I got the message from vodafone as soon as I inserted my sim card into my SGS II.

I dont have 3g activcated as of yet. Should I send ACT 3G to 111 ?

the customer care guys are telling me to visit vodafone store(they are full of s***)

Please let me know :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Hi guys,

I applied a Zagg shield. 24 hours later, I am seeing vertical lines all across the screen, happily refracting light, making them look like rainbows across the light-coloured screen. I am frankly astonished, with Zagg, it cost me a small fortune for what is effectively a small piece of plastic skin.

Does, anybody know if these lines will go away after some time, or is it an installation error.

For a second, I thought the screen had died, heart in mouth and all that. I would appreciate if someone who has used the shield can shed some light on this. Does it get better, or should I rip it off.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I am going to take a print out of their terms and conditions and my invoice and go to the store and see what they do.

If they do not do anything, I think I will escalate it to their nodal office.

I mean every officially imported SGS-2 has to be through an authorised dealer, right?
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
So the vodafone offer is valid for phones only bought after June 11th :/ . Not valid for phones bought before that :/
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I had mine over 1 week before that! Just inform them that you received it on the 12th or 13th from "Lets Buy" and they will go ahead and honor it for you.

So here is the skinny. If you already have a 3G plan or a 2G plan, they will ADD 1GB of traffic. Regardless of 3G or 2G.

E.X. IF YOU HAVE a 3GB 3G Plan, you will receive another 1GB of DATA. Totaling it to 4GB of traffic. Next month, you can cancel the 3GB 3G Plan and keep the 1GB of 3G active.

IF YOU DONT have any 2G or 3G plan, they will add the 1GB 3G services.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Well, I put the full body guard on and WOW... It fits perfectly! EVEN if you dont want to use the FULL body (Pain to install, take your time), the SCREEN Guard is a perfect fit.

Due to the texture of the battery cover, its a bit of a pain in the azz to get all the bubbles out. The trick is to keep pushing out the water / bubbles and let it cure on its own.

No bubbles on mine and it will cure quickly overnight.

P.S... NO Accessories Deal NOW due to lack of different cases, screen guards, chargers, HDMI adapters available. Ill be trying to get it going but in the meantime, the XTreme Guard deal is good to go. I am waiting for instructions from them.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
:( Is it necessary to use soap solution during the application of the guard? OR can it be applied without using the solution? :o
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
The soapy solution is very harmless. Dont use dish washing soap OR laundry detergent. Use detol hand liquid soap and it works wonders. Just 2 small drops in a nice large bowl of water is sufficient.

The soapy solution is what helps it glide properly and also helps it NOT collect dust or lint. It will also help it cure properly. The water only trick will kill your application.

YOU CAN try Windex or Colins (I guess thats what they call it in India).

Dont worry, just pull out the battery and give your self 2 hours. It will only take 1 Hour MAX but you wanna let things cure before you turn it on.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Now I have to buy Detol hand liguid soap..lol will buy it tomorrow..

Ok anyway I am looking for USB OTG cable which is working perfectly..any link please.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Thanks for replying. I was only worried about the solution seeping inside the phone somehow and ruining the phone..
[Galaxy S II General] cooltarun:
My phone had got the 3G/Edge automatically enabled under the SGS2/Vodafone offer on 18th June.

Letsbuy.com buyers: Any update on the HDTV adapter? I had spoken to their customer care last week and they said it would take 1 more week before they could dispatch it.

i mailed them on monday and got reply there is delay to deliver from manufacturer. Will try to send as soon as get from manufacturer.

[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
S2 ROCKZ...

some ppl are complaing about the construction of s2...

they say that it's back cover is made up of cheap plastic..

though it back cover is made of plastic, it is solid in construction..

and here is the proof....:D:D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErXqnQKs-tA&feature=player_embedded
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
I spoke to them yesterday. They said they are recieving a huge consignment of HDTV adapter within a week and then sending them.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
Dhruv,

Is the offer valid only for letsbuy customers??? I had told them that i purchased it through infibeam!
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Shouldn't make a difference. I just said Letsbuy cause thats the first thing that came to my mind.

I spoke to my buddy at Vodafone and he said that this offer is OFFICIALLY suppose to be valid IF you purchased your device from VODAFONE (Stores). But due to the HUGE delay of them receiving stock, Samsung has asked them to honor it for EVERYONE who has purchased it AFTER the 11th of June.

All you need to say is that you purchased it AFTER the 11th of June and from a Samsung Retailer or Online Retailer and it should be activated.

In a rare case, they might check Device Used before 11th Of June and if it comes up as a GT-i9100 then your claim will get denied as you already had your device prior to the 11th and you do not qualify.

There are ways around that also but lets not get into it.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Well the store finally agreed after they saw my printout of their terms and conditions from their website. They did check that first log entry was on 11th (which in any case it was as I purchased it that day) and have put in the request for the promo which they say will take 48 hours to activate.

Now waiting and hoping will not have to go and waste another hour fighting with them if it does not activate.
[Galaxy S II General] TOR1R:
Guys, noob question here. Am planning to jump from my trusty old 5800 to the S2, but the hindering block from making an online purchase is the question about my existing handset.

May i know what you guys(all those who went for the online deals) did with their old phone? !
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Why bother with online? Almost equal deals are available in shops. Depending on your location, try and work out exchange deal with a shop or your regular dealer. That is what I did.
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
How can I save my phone number on my SIM ?

I too had (have) Nokia 5800, N got this World Leading Device :D

will sell my old one in a week's time to some nearby shop... ( i guess i can sell it for 4 - 4.5 K INR ):)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Man, I am done speculating about this device... After my Meeting with Infibeam on Monday, I will know for sure what to do. Order it from the U.K, or pick it up on my way back to the U.S...

I just received this response from Flipkart soon after their original mail.

[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
no one should buy this device and teach Samsung a lesson. what on earth do they think they are doing.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
They are doing nothing but sticking to plan. Globally launching device everywhere will only mean shortages everywhere. So they are obviously giving priority to the most attractive markets. So its Korea > Europe > Rest of Asia model as usual.

Americans will have to wait even longer for their carriers to adjust their bottoms and take a good dump before release.

They have since beginning said that India will get the device in June. Its all these BS rumors that had caused this confusion.

In my first post regarding this matter I said that India is getting this in June only. That was official response from Samsung when someone first asked about this on twitter. Why are you pissed now? Blame these over excited members and store owners for misinformation :p
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Yes,i was also thinking of SGS 2 launch in sometime around april end or may 1st week.

But then after seeing couple of shows in CNBC & NDTV,,the guys who were there at Samsung Mobile Asia forum have clearly said regarding June launch.

So have made up my mind that it's better to wait till June
[Galaxy S II General] naymyomgmg:
i ordered it from mobile.co.uk in the first week of april. But they refuse cos of credit score. The package is 300 minute 500 MB from vodafone. 30 pounds 24 months contract with 30 phone cost. Now i ordered from buymobilephones.net where i got my SGS. Now they are processing my order and i am waiting for the result

the package is 900 minute and 1 GB from 3 network. 30 pounds 24 months and free phone cost. But i am thinking of the monthly fees of two phones which is 55 pounds including 25 from SGS. Whooo.. I need to do overtime for them.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
This is seriously ridiculous of how people treat such matters here. None of them give a shyt to get the truth out to make a sale.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Alright, another response to why its delayed (According to Flipkart and their sources).

------------------------

Hello Dhruv,

We see that the information about the delay in releasing the Mobile :Samsung Galaxy GT-i9100 was informed buy the Samsung company themselves.

The phone is slated for a worldwide release between April and July in 2011, because Samsung are not be able to meet shipment demands of both its own Exynos chip and Super AMOLED Plus screens.

We suggest you to visit our website frequently regarding the updates and once its available on our site for pre-order , you may place the order and provide us an Indian shipping address and we will have it shipped on a priority basis and you may collect it from the given address.

We look forward for your continued patronage and to build a long term business relationship with you.

Have a great evening ahead!

Please feel free to call us back at 080 43526600 for further clarification.

Thanks and Regards.

[Galaxy S II General] ankydu:
The galaxy s2 was due for launch in korea on the 25th of april, i.e., today. Can anybody from korea confirm ?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Alright guys,

Meeting with Infibeam went well, we discussed what we need to and I soon after left. But not before the million dollar question was dropped, when is the SGS II coming? Since we require multiple units, they called up Samsung Distributor in multiple locations. I have only the feed back from ONE but by the end of the day, most of them will respond.

The Samsung Galaxy S II will not be coming until END May, Either due to shortage of supply or timetable set by Samsung themselves.

I have still not lost hope but Since now Flipkart and Infibeam have provided the same response, I think it is more concrete than what we all want to believe.

Ill post more details once I get them from Samsung ==> Infibeam.

Yes, this is an old article from one of the members here on XDA (Arjun90). Since then there has been a lot of fluctuation with Dates.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Oh boy...

I guess this settles it for India then, lol. My dealer confirms by next month (May) second-week max. There were a couple of articles I came across (forgot the URL's) in which it stated that Samsung is facing a shortage of AMOLED screens along with other particular internal parts. I don't know if the company is making excuses to avoid the overwhelming demand or if it is time for them to seek other screen-alternatives. Presently, nothing can surpass the AMOLED screen technology, except for the Retina Display found on the iPhone 4 (which is not true LED btw), lol. :(

FINALLY.......

THE DAY ARRIVED.....

After several arguments with Letsbuy and Aramex,,,

I received my SGS2 today..

Just went through it and it seems awesome.

Although found the PINK SPOT issue, but I think, that we can ignore and is noticeable if we look closely.

Just installed the screen guard which i got with the mobile using soap water solution.

Also the molife cover is also good.

We can use it and I think we can avoid going for case mate cases.....
