Did you try installing it? Galaxy S2 is not listed in the phones with Two way Video calling. Only Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S and Sony xperia are listed. And no option for video call in the interface :confused:

Cheapest price in chennai?

Greetings everyone.

I am also interested in purchasing the S2 as my first android phone.

Not able to get this below 30k anywhere in Chennai.

Checked with univercell also,They are also quoting 30,500rs.

Cheapest is sangeetha mobiles at 30,300rs.

Should i wait for any other offers? like say Letsbuy.com or in flipkart.com?

I heard some people bought if for 29k last week but they have increased the price again.

Chennai guys,Please advise on where to buy?
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:

I don't like this phone at all it is spoiling the name and look of my phone :D :D :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Dude allow me to correct you its Saravana Selvarathinam

U can buy for 28.7k as Gowind said. I bought it checked thoroughly for dead pixel everything and he also told me about vodafone 3G offer but it is still not activated my bad:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] mithunk:
Akash it all depends on what kinda stuff you like.... I can see that it is also from the same seller so i think it will be of good quality... Decide on what you like... Only drawback of my case is it has small holes on the back side so dust comes in through that... i need to clean it daily... so its your take :)
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Finally after creating a royal ruckus at the store yesterday, they finally escalated the issue and today morning offer was activated. Really very poor of Voda, after advertising like crazy on front pages of prominent newspapers.

Now also I cannot seem to get any person on their complaint line 198 since few days. Dialling 9 simply takes one back to main IVR menu and all seems to be only IVR.
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
Barging into this, but yes, I have tested it, and works well. Got mine through Flipkart. Along with the car charger shipped earlier, the phone effectively cost me less than 29K!

Essentially the TV mimics the phone display. The resolution remains the same. So things appeared grainy on my 46-inch Sony. Did not try to run any videos yet, though.
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
according to these new dates http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997887

it seems like the india launch is not correct?

although France was supposed to be getting it soon as well, and they are also not in the list.

can't trust any dates anymore, none of them seems real, until it actually launches at street level
[Galaxy S II General] jimmychristian:
Confirmed on a social site networking in recent times, that it intends Samsung Galaxy II in the country next month start Samsung S. No fixed start date is still but been given so far considering the company's track record.India was the first of the few countries to see the introduction of the original Galaxy S and the recently launched Galaxy ACE, pop and fit phones.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Ya w/o a doubt if it's SE & Samsung you can bet all of their latest and best smartphones to launch in India at the earliest.

Sonys entire line up Xperia Arc,Play & Neo are launching in 2nd week here in India

Good news friends...........

Samsung India has confirmed that SGS 2 will launch in India with these specs--

1) Super Amoled Plus

2) Samsung Dual Core 1Ghz Processor,Exynos

Great news,i have also updated the thread name accordingly,enjoy:p

Expected launch anywhere between 15th April to 20th April & Expected Price is Rs 32,000;)
[Galaxy S II General] Lakitu:
Good news for you guys in India. Many of us still have to wait :( I wonder how Docomo will gimp it. I bet they remove the front facing camera like they did with the Galaxy S.

Anyway, good news that you're getting Super AMOLED and Exynos.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Yup,was fearing that Samsung will announce it with super clear lcd,,but now Super Amoled Plus & Orion are confirmed with launch very very soon
[Galaxy S II General] Success100:
this blows. I want a version that works in the states for tmobile!
[Galaxy S II General] sanketss84:
Are you sure about the Exynos , where did u read about it.

I saw the tweets about Super AMOLED Plus but nowhere found anything about Exynos , price is no concern as enough is saved :D

I just cant wait to get my hands on this one :D waited too long
[Galaxy S II General] Brut.all:
As far as we know, there will be no Super Amoled Plus + Tegra 2 version of SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] drleospaceman:
Does India usually get popular high end phones a full month before anyone else in the world? I would take the mid-April stuff they're saying with a grain of salt; smartphone company's social media sites are notorious for getting dates & prices wrong and are in no way a guarantee.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
My dealer confirms the same, spoke to him before coming to office. He says it will be here(bangalore) by May first week, max Second week. Hopefully this guy has his sources in the right places. Still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as he is the first person in our area to have new models from HTC, Samsung, Acer, Sony... etc.

Only time will tell :)

WARNING~

Warning! This site posts the same listing as that found on http://cgi.ebay.in/Samsung-Galaxy-S...76530?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item1c1b2f6a52

The eBay user is shop-your-world. He has little feedback and the phone comes with NO WARRANTY what-so-ever as this is getting shipped from the UK. The MRP is NOT 39,990 rupees India. It will be less than 32,000 rupees when released in the region. Don't fall for this. Shop-your-world probably has relatives or close friends from the UK, thats why he can post such a listing.

http://www.shopyourworld.com/samsungGalaxySII/samsungGalaxySII.htm is a site that can be made in seconds and hosted on a bigdaddy.com

:)

I strongly recommend for buyers in India, buy the phone in your respective region, it will save you the hassle. Also, you will get your warranty coverage all at a cheaper price. Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Thats good to know, you and I are on the same page then. - Cheers! =)
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Finally got some firm confirmation from Varun{fonearena.com}

All the details regarding price & launch will be available on 27th ie Wednesday.

Thanks,fonearena:D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
They will be official or another "I heard this from Samsung" thing on their website?
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
That remains a mystery,although I have already made up mind to wait till June for it.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Thanks for the info, will see what fonearena has to say on the 27th.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Cheers Mate :)
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Where does it say that we will get the details of the launch etc? all that the link shows is the new ad for the SGS2... Someone?
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
and i thought Iphones were ridiculosly priced here in India 50grands for a 32gb model! and i also mailed those guys at retailmart yesterday but got no reply yet.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Cool thank you for the information! Will definitely wait for the phone to release in India. i still havent made up my mind that the phone will release only in June, that seems too long a wait and too harsh a torture for my heart :):p;)

Also, due to the conflicting nature of all the information we are getting from various sources, its very hard to settle our minds about something that has so captured our imagination.
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
And who is Varun? :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Whos Varun?

Hi Dhruv,

Sorry for the late reply. As per the team from Samsung, the best possible update that we could get regarding Galaxy SII is that it is expected around the end of May or the first week of June. We shall keep a check of any updates regarding this and will keep you informed.

[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
I dont know but i have a basic question here. SGS2 releasing in india officially with 1ghz exynos or 1.2ghz exynos? cos i came across many indian sites who have updated infos but they quote 1ghz exynos. that was supposed to be mwc news a pre retail product i reckon.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Correct, the marketing collaterals that are floating around state 1Ghz and they are from MWC. Just like the rest of the world, India will see a 1.2Ghz version, I dont believe there will be a 1Ghz unless its Tegra 2, and thats even unconfirmed of the specs.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
Even if tegra 2 why should that be 1ghz? they just wanted tegra 2 cos they were short in supply of exynos. i dont think if that is the case they should get tegra 2 models with 1.2 ghz too. n even after recent samsung conference at delhi people still saying exynos 1 ghz, that doesnt digest well with me. why the heck no proper advertisement for this phone by samsung? its one of the major phone to be released.
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:
it will be 1.2ghz exynos with super amoled plus for india(confirmed by samsung super stockist in india)..............
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Thanks! Kannan, any further update about availability?
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
OK. I rechecked last night, and the results surprised me. Before hitting the sack I charged the battery to the brim, removing the charger when the phone burped to indicate it could take no more :p

Eight hours later, and the battery shows 99%!! Of course nothing running (well I have a live wallpaper, which would consume a bit even with screen off..), wifi, packet data, gps etc off.

Another thing: I find myself charging it every alternate night. This time I used 45 minutes of GPS (which consumed 30%), an hour or so of wifi download/browsing/email, over an hour talking, a few text messages, tested MHL briefly, and the battery lasted 1 day 21 hours. No gaming for me though :D

I read somewhere on xda that factory reset makes the battery behave. I did execute a factory reset, but it was to try and solve my wifi woes I had earlier. The reset did nothing for the wifi, but it might have something to do with the battery life now.

You can be kind to the battery by preferably charging only when it drains to 15% or less, not removing the charger till the phone beeps, switching on wifi/packet data only when you need it, using GPS (or anything else that devours the battery) sparingly.

I would also advice many here against using a case, unless it is made of heat-conducting material. As a rule of thumb, life of chips reduces 50% for every 10 degree centigrade rise in temperature! You don't want to fry your 30K phone anytime soon :D
[Galaxy S II General] deepsie:
New stocks now available on FlipKart
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
What does factory reset do to your phone? wipe off all contact, logs, data, apps etc?
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
Absolutely! So you don't want to do this too often :p
[Galaxy S II General] mangodolly:
I am not surprised to hear the battery issues. When I first got the SGS2, the battery would not last until the evening, it was quite disappointing and annoying. Then started to tweak it, I now have 30-40% remaining at the end of the day. I am on the phone for 3-4 hours/day, use wifi 12 hours, rarely use EGDE or GPS, watch youtube 1/2 hour

Here are my tricks and tweaks:

- Rooted the phone

- Removed the Live wallpapers

- Installed Advanced Task Killer

- Installed Titanium Backup

- Uninstalled Game Hub and Readers Hub

- Uninstalled Allshare, Voice Command, Voice Search

- Installed antivirus

- Removed autosync for many apps including Google apps

Works great. Let me know if anyone wants additional details. Am looking to uninstall stock apps that I do not use. Will let you know if that makes it even better.

Thx

Anyone of you got it from letsbuy?

Hey guys,

Anyone of you got it from letsbuy?

Today flipkart and letsbuy both have updated their sites with fresh stock.

Getting it for 29799 with the HDTV adapter and screen guard

Is it ok to go ahead with this deal.

Is the HDTV adapter genuine or some local brand?

[Galaxy S II General] :
When I got my phone from Letsbuy, they did not have the MHL adapter. So I got a deal without the adapter.

Surprise surprise, they sent me the original MHL adapter and a second set of the original car charger.

I am happy.
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
hey silesh, any idea where i can get this in india
[Galaxy S II General] :
Not that I know of. I have ordered one from clove uk. I tried to cancel the order after I got the one from letsbuy but could not do it. I can sell it to you if you are interested. It is 28£ including shipping. I have already made payment.
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
well i couldn find any yellow tinge or pink spot on the screen... may b cos of my eye sight. bt watever it si and if its there, i dont think its gonna b a deal breaker.... its not something that u notice in normal usage...
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Does your SGS2 make noise after full charging?

Mine doesn't but seen in many forums that it ll make annoying sound
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
mine make a sound, but as far as im concerned, its not annoying. just a blip sound.
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Just wondering!!!

Which would be a better thing to do!!!

buy for 29000...local store

or 29799 from letsbuy and pay online

or 29999 from letsbuy and pay COD

Letsbuy will also give HDMI adapter and molife case and screen guard...

All those who have got the Letsbuy deal before, hows the case, screen guard and is the HDMI adapter an original samsung product ???

What was the time it took to deliver the phone from the date of payment???
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Have other members received the screen protector from Infibeam ? They seem to be lazy about it : ) Don't really care about it as per the previous posts it seems low quality.

Just finished putting on the gadget shield front back and side guards..whoooo.. a little nerve wracking as it involves water on a high tech device.. but surprisingly it went rather well. Except for the part where i found two pieces of lint stuck in between the screen protector and the display :mad: took me longer and more effort getting those two thin strands off of the sticky side of the guard rather than the whole installation..

Now that its off, I'm waiting for about 10 hrs for it to dry up enough.

On another note, what are you guys planning to get with your 250 gift voucher from the Infibeam group deal ?

[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
But it from ebay.in by applying a 5% discount coupon which will bring the phone value to 27490.

From letsbuy deal the molife case is very good. But the screen guard is average. The HDMI adapter is a sealed samsung original product.
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
my suggestion would be to buy the phone from the retail store, as you can check the phone for the branding, yellow, pink spot issues, dead pixels etc.. if it is trouble free you can pay the money. that way you will be more satisfied than buying it from online stores...
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
i think the 5% coupon has an upper limit of 250...

Currently i have a coupon of 10% .. max 250...basically useless for a30k thing..

U got any which gives that huge a discount???? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
Agree with you. Newer SLCDs such as those on HTC's Incredible/Desire S are just as good too. The much touted 'better sunlight viewability' of SAMOLED is a bit of a hype too. Of course it is better than SLCD in sunlight, but only marginally. The reflections in the glass take away most of the intrinsic advantages of amoleds.

But I suspect it makes the battery last a bit longer.
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
How many SGS2's in India so far?

Koreans bought 120,000 S2's by the time it launched there. Anybody knows how many have been sold in India so far? 12000? Or is that too high a figure for something priced at what it is?
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
I have 5% with max discount of 2000
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
Whoa!!!! :eek:

i had that till 30th june but then again, the coupon was limited and it got expired before that date itself :confused: so no discounts :(

btw really awesome coupon that is in that case .... 1.5k is awesome woooow..
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
No yellow tinge, just a slight uneven brightness at low brightness level. But pink spot is certainly there. More prominent against white and in some conditions. Turning on auto contrast helps somewhat.

I am not too worried about it, as otherwise the phone is really great. After the KF3 update, it is certainly overeating very little and battery life has improved dramatically.

Q&A

If I root, it will void the warranty right? Does Samsung India actually check for this? Will unrooting be enough to claim warranty, or does the download counter need to be reset? Anyone with experience in this?

Us Indians here at xda? Perhaps 100 or 150!

Samsung are not even advertizing this much. On TV you still see commercials of Galaxy Ace and the like! So how much awareness would there be among the saner populace?:p
