Well I have already disturbed you too much over the past week.. Wouldn't want to call you on a weekend (personal time).. :)

I will give a call to infibeam on Monday for a status update.. in case I am not provided a tracking number by then..

I put "Ship by blue-dart" in the general instructions... Hope they consider my request..

Have a great sunday everyone.. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] xotiq:
Thanks, got if from Univercell
[Galaxy S II General] Dhirajlaw:
I dont think you have been provided with the correct status. They were supposed to ship yesterday to me but since they couldn't, I escalated and then I was asked to collect it from there warehouse in Delhi, however, even after waiting for 2 hours at their warehouse the shipment did not arrive. Thereafter they promised me to get it hand delivered at my residence by 9 pm but just received a call from them that no shipment arrived today hence they are helpless. Please be informed that no dispatch has been done today.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Well since you feel that we have been misinformed. Why dont you please coordinate with Infibeam going forward and to ensure that your order is on track.

I appreciate your expressive comment, but in this case, I personally feel that after all our arguments with Infibeam, they have provided me some information that seems to be valid.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Courier from the future.

I checked the status update for quantium courier at 8pm. It had an update for 22:27pm at that time with the parcel sitting at Ahemdabad. Also, the status shows shipment was given at midnight. An interesting courier update. I had requested for Blue dart by at the end of the day, if i get the phone in good shape and in time (latest by Monday) i really dont care if its Quantium and any other co.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
if there were no shipments then how come two people here got the phone already from infibeam...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I think there is a communication problem with the guys u met at infibeam... caz the CC or anyone thr will not know abt our deals... just wait for a few more days... every doubts will be cleared ;););)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
@Dhruv and Arjun. What about you guys, any luck with your phones? i really hope you guys received them by now.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
now on letsbuy car charger is replaced by bluetooth headset. But when i ordered it was car charger . My order is shipped today and i hope i get car charger since i want that.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
By the way guys, I have consistently posted here ALL Day... If you don't mind, may I head to bed now?

Thank You.
[Galaxy S II General] szoheb:
Please do... At the cost of repeating what everyone has been saying... Thanks buddy.

I understand everyone is frantic and eager to get their phones but getting it a day or two later than the expectations doesn't make much of a difference. tc n gn.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Probably we should lock this thread till Monday afternoon :D :D :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***status update***

We received a call approximately at 9:30PM from the corporate manager. Guys, the corporate manager stayed 'till 9pm to ensure the orders were processed. Due to a slight hiccup in Delhi warehouse, some orders may be shipped from

Ahmedabad or elsewhere.

- Cheers! =)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Letsbuy is giving HDTV Adapter free , i hope get it along phone , but i have heard they will ship it later. Any confirmation guys who ordered from letsbuy?

Samsung Galaxy S2 Mumbai

Hi Guys,

Planning to buy SGS2 2mrw in mumbai, anyone know what would be the best place to buy it from. Prefer Andheri side.

Another question, do you know if the MHL cable is available here :rolleyes: ? if yes, then whats the price?
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Guys, how about doing a group purchase for these? This will surely save on the shipping cost, no? BTW, any idea about the total cost it would incur?
[Galaxy S II General] ugamshah:
phone heating up..!!

hi guys, i got my phone yesterday.. it's a pretty cool phone.

but the only problem am facing is, it gets heated up too fast... the top & the rear-top area gets heated up even on playing a simple game like PAPER TOSS...

i switched of the phone and again on starting it cleared the ram and started off with the same game, and faced the same problem.

can anyone help me out please..
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Just wanted to post this here since this thread is much more active and lots of people are about to get their phones.

Anyone else having similar issues here?
[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
Apparantly many people do, but I can't find it on my screen. But then again I ain't renowned for my eyesight ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
me

Hi even i am facing the same kind of issue.. The screen is awsome..

Its on full brightness and i am seeing kind of pigments on bright colours and live wall papers:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] vkrtandra:
All the micro-USB ports that I have checked has 5-pins whereas the micro-USB port of the Travel adapter has only 4-pins. Can any of the S2 owners confirm this? Have I received the faulty unit?
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
I've not tried.gaming yet. But ya its a bad news for me that the device gets heatup while gaming.

But for this much slim.profe i thiml its expected. So no need to worry.
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Hmmm.. My order page says this:

Ships By: Jun 15, 2011

Delivers By: Jun 18, 2011

I sincerely hope Infibeam is not lieing when they said they had all order processed yesterday.. Coz the order page shows something completely different.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Ya i'm interested.

But i dont know if dhruv and arjun have time to do this as they are already busy on infibeam deal delivery tracking. Not to mention they have recieved their sgs2 recently :-)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Sounds great but when i tried to register on the website, i could not find India on their country list for the registering addr. So i guess they do not ship products here. What did you do for this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Wooohhoo my phone reached Aramex office shipped yesterday by Letsbuy. Going in couple of hrs to collect it:)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
We will be contacting them on Monday to see if we could setup a group deal on these. Cost will be around 350RS for each. I think we might be able to get that slightly reduced.

Lets see... How many are interested?

P.S. Arjun or I have not received our phones yet, we are still busy with order tracking.

I have used these guys before in the past. Just after removing my Invisible Shield, I installed their stuff and found it far better and more tacky to ensure a better fitment on the device.

They are based out of Chennai and have International Shipping. Lets see how they take our orders.
[Galaxy S II General] cooltarun:
Great. Where are you going to collect it? Whom did you speak to for that? My phone has also reached Delhi office as per Aramex website.
[Galaxy S II General] dhiru1602:
Sorry for the Offtopic post. Could anyone with an SGS II confirm the following?

Play music on the device and Lock it.

Give a message or a missed call to the phone.

When the ring appears, disconnect the call and check if the Text on the Media Player Widget at the top is appearing correctly.

I have made a Galaxy S II Lockscreen port to Galaxy S. It seems like when I perform the steps above, the Text on the Media Player Widget (Album Name, Artist Name) disappears.

Thanks.

Screen issues

Guys.. Need your help on this..

these are the screen shot of the screen issues i was talking about..

If you look at the pictures you can distorted pixels all over the wall paper? I fear this is a problem with the phone..

Any idea about this!! :mad::(

Its more evident in the first pic.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Count me in as and when you order the cover
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Is this with all the images or a particular image?
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Hi Dhruv -

I am interested in any deal for Car charger and MHL adapter!!
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
I checked and I am not facing this issue. The text appears correctly.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Dhruv, I am interested. Please count me in.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Try to get details when they are delivering in Jaipur. Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I cant quite see any issue. Maybe, I dont really get what I am suppose to look for. Can you please elaborate? Or perhaps circle the area where you see the issue?
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
These are same as Zagg/XtremeGuard/BestSkinsever according to numerous reviews on them! If they're as cheap as Xtremeguard then totally worth it. Else doesn't make sense.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
So, resigned to no NFC in my SGS2

I've resigned to the fact that there is no NFC in the Galaxy S2. Not that I bought the phone because of that but would've been good to have it. Anyway, one phone that has NFC is the Google Nexus S and looks like its price on FlipKart has dropped below 20k...phew!

http://goo.gl/Wd9D9
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Lets see when they update the price.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
All images

I see it on most of the images.. Its more evident in the one which i uploadedd
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
Dhruv,

I have highlighted the area! I have used wave before the Amoled screen on it never showed these kind of distorted image. What i mean is that the image is not crispier. hope u can notice it now

huh.. may be i am not able to explain it properly.. I will try to get some video of it... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yes, I can see what you mean. It seems that either there is an issue with the Screen OR there is an issue with the software. Please try doing a factory reset to see if that resolves anything.

I could perhaps play some role with the Banding issue, which makes the colors less sharp. But thats a little less likely.

Keep us informed.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
rest

I reset the phone.. no use.. :mad:

I still see the same kind of screen.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] Dhirajlaw:
Hi Dhruv,

Just got my phone hand delivered by Infibeam. Thanks for all your support.

Dhiraj
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Hi dhruv, arjun, please count me in for the screen cover group purchase if and when there is one. I am also interested in the mesh cover, would join if all you guys begin a combined group sale of some sort.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
I am also interested for accessroies group purchase.
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
congrats

btw which courier service is infibeam using ?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
No thanks required, aside on the forum button ;)

Please follow the instruction and PM Arjun AND me with the following:

Full Name

Location

Order Number

Received Date

We will check you off the received list then. (PM's give us a audit trail)
[Galaxy S II General] Dhirajlaw:
I cant say anything on that.... They delivered me by hand. Dont forget today is Sunday.
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
guys...

guys.. can you please set the windy wheather live wallpaper on your phone and check if you see similar distortion in the screen quality?

will really appreciate your help on this.. thnks
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Yes i have somewhat like that distortion in my phone also

LETSBUY Buyers & Delivery

Infibeam has delivered fast, as we have seen here.

What about Letsbuy shipping. Has anyone got any delivery. My courier status shows 'forwarded to area beyond area'.

I guess they will deliver Jaipur tomorrow. Any other idea..
[Galaxy S II General] thegr8anand:
On Infibeam's website it says ships in 2-3 business days. Does it mean it leaves their warehouse in 2-3 days or I will get it in 2-3 days?
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
To all those who got the phone from Infibeam... does the box still misspell the Amoled spelling???
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Guys see this - LINK

We now have a facebook page dedicated to 'Samsung Galaxy S2 screen Issue'. I feel all those having the screen issues should post their findings here!
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
And this link might help you to "Fix the Battery Drainage Issue on Samsung Galaxy S2 (II) by Hard Reseting [Guide]". LINK
[Galaxy S II General] LocoMan57:
Thx for those links ;)
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
I'm interested. Count me in dhruv.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Sure. They are a pain to get a hold of though. :/

But their stuff is really good.

Will let you all know the deal once we have gotten some details.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Even my courier, DTDC says it will be delivered tomorrow. The website status is showing that the items has been dispatched to haridwar from delhi on the 11th. I thought it should reach here today as delhi haridwar is hardly 200 km. But the DTDC person told me that it will reach them tomorrow. So waiting for tomorrow. Regarding the packaging, those who have received the phone can you please post what kind of packing is letsbuy sending so those of us who have not received the package till date can check before taking delivery that the package has not been tampered by the courier ppl. Lots of horror stories regarding courier ppl tampering with the packages i have heard.
[Galaxy S II General] pankaj87:
We highly recommend them. They are fantastic! Seriously, you won't go wrong with these. Better than the usual Screengard / Invisible & Xtreme Shield stuff! =)

any idea on how to get this fixed???
[Galaxy S II General] anksoft:
Hopefully today the Infibeam preorder folks would get their phones. Can't wait for the bell to ring. Fingers crossed.

[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
my first app crash/non-responsiveness

Hi Guys,

Today I was browsing and listening to music (Android Music player + Equalizer). I was switching between music player and Equalizer.

Suddenly when I accessed equalizer using the player interface, both equlaizer and player got non-responsive and music stopped suddenly.

Hmmmm.... Stopping and restarting both the Player and Equalizer did not work. Had to reboot the phone.!!!

Maybe I'm using a wrong player but this combo is the only thing that I felt as good audio effects.

Suggestions please ...

PS: I think this thread should continue to have first hand user experience with the phone (at least first 2 weeks of phone usage experience, since activity is very high here).
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
can anyone who has received the phone from letsbuy please share the packaging details. I will probably receive the phone sometime in the first half and i want to be sure everything is OK.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Honestly speaking, what difference does it make if you get other peoples details of the packaging? It wont make a difference on HOW they SHIP your product compared to others.

You will obviously have to inspect the device throughly irrespective to how the product is packaged.

Letsbuy, Flipkart, Infibeam, they all have distributors who package the product and ship it directly. The mindset is usually that the Manufacturer has done a good enough job packaging this device, all we need to do is throw some tape and a shipping label around it.

That mindset will not change. So check your product and dont ask questions which wont make a difference on how you receive a device.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Guess you are right there. But this whole online ordering thing is not good for the nerves. Should have stuck to the physical shops, atleast you can check what you are getting.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Not quite sure, I also see a bit of distortion but I think that might be a software thing. It only happens on the Cloudy Dark areas.

Maybe its just SAMOLED.

You can still check your product IF you have chosen the COD method. Open, Check, Test, THEN PAY.

Be a bit nice to him, offer him some beverages, let him kill some time while you check it.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Just now got my Phone delivered by letsbuy. Packaging was very very good . Very well wrapped box and all accsessories were kept on the box of the phone which gave more cushion the phone.

Got Galaxy tab car charger worth 1899,Molife Case and screen protector, MHL adapter will delivered after 14th.

So i m totally impressed got for 29999 with important accessories like HDTV Adapter , and galaxy tab car charger(not cheap ones).

Packaging is of June 2011, with AMOLDED still misspelled.
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Great buddy, congrats. I hope to get my set soon too. Thanks for the packing info. Letsbuy has finally come through. By the way what is the significance of this spelling mistake. Seems strange that a company as big as samsung will make such a mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Wait-a-sec

Just to be specific, I was specifically referring to the MWC that was held back in February. The global specs will apply the same to India. Also, whatever was updated and presented at Samsung FORUM 2011 in Delhi, i.e. 1.2 GHz processor, will also be in the Indian model. I am NOT kidding. I'm serious. I should have made this clear in my last post, lol. I apologize for any confusion caused.

BTW--The Indian model may include NFC, however, uncertain whether it will be enabled or disabled.
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
okay so this april date is crap right? its gonna be may 1st?
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
No April is the month,25th is the launch date for SGS 2 in Korea.

May 1st for UK,no information on any other region.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I am still guessing that we will see this phone in our hands in MID may...
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
ahh ty
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Well don't know about SGS 2,,but HTC Sensation 4G is launching on 8th June in US:D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Might be another reason for Samsung to push the release of the SGS II soon.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
For the Netherlands it will be week19...maybe week 18 (some rumors).

Nothing official from Samsung, only shop info.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
So precisely, that puts it at MID May...
[Galaxy S II General] PLNY8789:
The company I pre ordered mine from told me it was shipping May 3rd. Im in Australia so hopefully i see it in first week of may. I will let you know how I go...
[Galaxy S II General] dj_san:
There has been a buzz around that i9103 will be launched in India. Here are some links ( OOPS!!!! could not paste URLs here, so simply mentioning the sites)

techforumindia(dot)com

news(dot)infibeam(dot)com

www(dot)knowyourgadget(dot)com

Although they are around a month old and don't know whether to trust them or not, Google is the only source for me to search for the updates. Did Samsung confirm that India will get i9100? If so, I'll be the happiest man around
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Our offices are 2 floors below Infibeam and they do not have any confirmed info on the SGS II as of yet, but are sure its 1.2 Ghz, so it cannot be i9103. Also at the Samsung Forum South West Asia, it was confirmed that the device will have 1.2 Ghz and Super Amoled Plus.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
these delays by samsung make no sense at all. i am sure a significant number of potential customers would have switched to other brands by now. Why cant they just give a date for the release in India. makes no sense
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
dis is to all the indian users using samsung phones(SGS,other android phones)

Right now im using X10 n thinking of getting SGS 2 when its available, All i want to know is how is the support from Samsung regarding the updates,fixes and how stable is der rom and do they release the update on time.

i was dissapointed with sony ericsson support before but right now due to 2011 products dey r showing a good progress by Q2 dey r releasing 2.3 for x10
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Alright Folks... I just dropped in at Infibeam's offices upstairs to discuss another project we are possibly looking into. During my chat with the Sales Head there, I inquired about the SGS II. Aside from my personal interest, it seems that this device is actually required by our organization for testing purposes.

They called their supplier and inquired about the delivery, it was stated that the SGS II will be available by First week of May or 2Nd of MAY at the latest, all depending on how Samsung wants to distribute their supplies to which states first.

He also mentioned that the cost will be aprox 35K but not to quote him as this is an aprox cost.

One added benefit is that since we are purchasing MULTIPLE devices with Infibeam, there might be a possible discount from them for us.

:) I for one am happy that at least there is more evidence that this device is actually going to be released in May and MID May as I have been thinking all along.

P.S... I Forgot to add that I can pick it up from their office.
