This post was pointless. Search!!!

We are embarking close to 350 pages with over 3k responses. Dont you think someone else has asked this question in this THREAD let alone the entire forum.

I have even answered this multiple times.

If you seek help, first learn to help yourself then you will surely get a lot of responses if you are still undecided.

Thanks. :)

So far 9 people have received their devices. More should come in today as well.

SGS II in Bangalore

If any one bought SGSII less than 29500/- in B'lore Please let me know the dealer details.
[Galaxy S II General] xotiq:
Is 29500/- the lowest you are getting across dealers in blr?
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Its SOLD OUT in letsbuy as of now.
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
Whom ever the dealers I have contacted they said 30k. except one dealer. so I am trying any one in this thread got better deal than this so that I can go for that. Plz let me know If any one got the mobile less than 29500/- in Bangalore.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Guys.

Who so ever is ordering it from FOMMY.CO.IN. Please note that they DO NOT HAVE ACCESSORIES for the SGS II physically in stock. I have ordered a screenguard and a TPU Case from them over 9 days ago and each day they state they they are getting the order tomorrow.

Call them and ask before placing any orders.
[Galaxy S II General] mithunk:

[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:

[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Mine is not yet arrived..:( Tomarrow will come for sure.. Now its in cochin as per courier company..
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Hey Guys,

Now I need some help. :)

What are some good sites based out of India who have screen protectors and cases? FOMMY.CO.IN is a good place, BUT they dont have stock. It is "Stuck At Delhi Customs", so any good sources will be appreciated.

P.S, ebay.in has screen protectors but are CRAP and so are their cases. Only Scratch Gard is available at a premium rate.
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
Wow!! AFL has to be one of the worst courier service i have come across.The shipment has reached them on Monday and still not delivered yet.

This morning i decided to collect it from the godown but was informed it was out for delivery at 9:00 am.

Highly disappointed with infibeam.They could charge us a few bucks extra but use competent courier service.
[Galaxy S II General] pankaj87:

SGS II is available @ 29,990 in Chennai

Vodafone stores has revised its price for the SGS II now. It will be available for Rs. 29,990 inclusive of tax from 16th june onwards and we'll also get 6GB of 3G data for 6 months (1month each).

I think it is worth the deal.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
I had used scratch gard for my previous phone and though it cost a bit more, it has lasted me for 18 months and counting. So probably worth a try.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I have used Scratch Gard many times in the past, its good stuff. BUT only EBAY at the moment...

Any other online shops anyone know of?
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
Plz tell me the exact offer of vodafone. I mean do we have to pay every month some amount/or recharge to get that 1GB free data like that ?
[Galaxy S II General] vtlrockz:

Guys,

I have a doubt. I have ordered this item: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230623874918 . Have anyone else ordered this? Is it good?

I have 2 cheap scratch guards for now which came with my case. Shall I use it now or wait for this as I fear peeling the scratch guard may damage the screen or the coating.

Also I read some where that using the phone for sometime without scratch guard may result in damage of the oleophobic coating and may cause display problems. Is it true?
[Galaxy S II General] cyberwarfare:

Infibeam deal

Looks like I would be the last one to get these. It says shipped on 13th from Ahmadabad via Quantium, but by the status is still in Ahmadabad.

I know its out of control of group order organizers, but this deal with infibeam is leaving a bad taste . Really unhappy with that retailer. Infibeam should not have promised deliveries if they were not confident of meeting them.
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
No, If we purchase the phone from Vodafone stores by paying 29990 rupees, for six months we can use 3G data of 1GB each month free. No need to pay anything extra.
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
I think it is the price in Bangalore. But how can it be? Here in chennai, they promised for 29990 (but delivery only on 16th) with 6 month 3G data..

May be you should get it from Chennai..
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
Using the phone without the screen guard and its a fingerprint magnet.

Should i get the scratchgard posted few pages back or wait for the one from infibeam?
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
I suggest that you use the one sent by Infibeam for now. This way you can always review the quality and stick to that if found good enough else order from Scratchgard. I received mine (Scratchgard) within 4-5 days so it didn't take long to arrive.

[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
infibeam hasnt sent the screen guard with the phone so is it safe to use the bare screen for another 3-4 days until it arrives?
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
I don't think there should be an issue. I used my SGS2 for 3 days without any screen guard until I received the one. The Oleophobic coating can get scratched but not by normal use. Perhaps you can avoid letting others handle it until you get the screen guard :D
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
no man, i will be the last one.

infibeam guys called me day before yesterday and said we have shipped ur order but didnt got the handset yet.

These guys dont want to ship within India due to limitations with the Payment Gateways.

So the deal with them seems to be off, although they did state that it will be reviewed.

Looking at alternate solutions.

Have to say the audio quality is a bit disappointing. I use my first gen ipod touch with its basic jazz preset and it sound better than gs2 using poweramp. I mainly listen to music in my car with aux input and there is clearly some difference in sound quality. Any way to improve this?
[Galaxy S II General] pankaj87:
Aramex.com showed a very casual attitude.

They kept my mobile in their office for 4 days and then shipped it back to letsbuy.com saying that my area is not in their service zone.

If it was not there why they have taken such a long time to realise this when I just called their customer care and the lady told me in 2 mins. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE ACCEPTED THE OFFER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

My mobile will now be shipped by bluedart.

fyi, i live in uttrakhand and have ordered many books by the couriers of firstflight, bluedart, dtdc.

So aramex has a long way to go to get in line with his competitors.

Guys if you have still to get ur device from aramex.com , then keep a strong follow up with them otherwise u may find ur shipment been delayed by 7 days like in my case.

First hand queries of sgs 2

Hi guys. Please help in finding solution of following features in SGS2. I have shifted from Nokia E72 to android, so a first time user.

I find that wifi is connected for all times. I have disabled background data, but still wifi is shown as connected. Any setting I am missing here??

Second, the devise uses wifi and 3g/edge in preference. If wifi is on, edge is not used. If wifi is off, it does not auto start it. In my old e72, there were plenty option to configure, differently for each web based app. Any suggestion on this?

Is there any shortcut for direct keypad. If I hit phone icon, it takes to keypad or log as opened earlier. For fast dialling, I need shortcut directly to keypad.

In searching contacts from keypad, it only show first name or last name, as selected. In e72, both fields are taken for sorting. Any tips for this..

Any suggestion, solutions or tips are welcome.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
1. There is wi-fi on/off setting, you need to use that. With wi-fi on and background data off, no app will do any data, you will need to turn it on.

2. Actually that is drawback of Nokia, sometimes it connects also without asking. In android, you will have to turn it on. Android is new generation where concept is of data connection on 24x7. So either turn it on manually or go for decent data plan. Nowadays most operators are giving edge 2 GB at Rs. 99/- for 30 days, it is very cheap. You can also keep wi-fi on and if new or known network is found it will connect first. There are also several apps that can do this based on various criteria.

3. You can try putting shortcut for keypad or logs on a homescreen or try use another launcher.

4. On stock no. See reply 3 above.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I cant view videos transferred from PC in Mobo Player. There is videos folder in Mobo but cant see video in it. It shows in stock gallery and from there can b played with moboplayer.But how to view and play from moboplayer.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
My problem wheb wifi is always on is not for data usage, buy primarily for saving Battery. Its effects battery consumption. Further, I have not found setting for synching email on interaval of say 15 minutes.

Letsbuy is again proving to be very much relaxed in their operations. I ordered a plantronics 90 BT headset on 14.06.2011 in the morning and made the payment. Today when i checked with them they said that it takes atleast two days to capture the payment in their system and it will be dispatched by friday evening or saturday morning. Even though they have the item in stock, still they will take 5 days to ship the product. Also i asked regarding the MHL adaptor, and they said it will be shipped sometime in the next week.

Finally getting My SGSII

I have a chat with vodafone ppl they have agreed to give it for 30k(including taxes) with 6 months data plan. At last 8 months of my waiting is going to end on this friday.:D. (In b'lore this offer is not available)
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
1. This is definitely not normal! Wifi is supposed to be off at times when screen is off. This is a case of power mismanagement by Samsung.

To solve this problem, use Juice Defender Ultimate. It will automatically turn off your Wifi when no application needs any data. And turn on Wifi periodically to sync data. This saves both battery life and keeps ur data in sync at all times.

2. In cases when there is no Wifi, it doesnt make sense to keep Wifi On and expect Edge to work. When you dont have Wifi simply turn it off from the Notification menu.

3. Here's a tip to get quick access to anything! When at the Home screen, press and hold the Options capacitive button and a search bar will open. Simple type in the contact/application name here and it will show up in the instant search!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
1- Wi-Fi shouldn't be connected all time, no way. Just Disable 'Auto Sync' and 'Background data', when not in use.

2- Disable your 'Data network mode', it can be disabled by holding the Power button.

For the 3rd and 4th I've no idea.

You can also use an application called 'Power Schedule', free in the market. It can Enable/Disable Data connection, Flight mode, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi with your set time.

Regards.

I really need screen protectors, was paranoid about the screen, went to a shop, the man installed a small screen-guard (think it is the Galaxy S one), it is driving me nuts, what is available quickly on the net.
