in social hub, when i try to add yahoomail it always tells me incorrect username or password and wont let me login no matter how many times i try.

now in accounts and sync, i click on add account > yahoomail(under social hub). when i click on yahoomail it crashes (process.comandroid.email has stopped unexpectedly).

can anyone give me a fix for this. will flashing the stock email do the trick.

in most of the reviews i have seen, gs2 has 600-630 mb of free ram on boot up but mine shows only less than 550. what about you guys. anyway to increase it. might be a noob question :p

And by the way i'm running on batista70 2.0 custom ro and its awesome i must say.

I have been using BSNL 3G from launch, and its definitely not 3.6Mbps max.

I guess 4.57Mbps is not bad on my SGS2-

Tragedy..

A damn fool...me managed to drop the phone, the screen shows two cracks and there is no display. What are my options guys ?? very very upset
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
The option the one I could tell u is take ur phone to the Samsung service center and ask them how much they ll cost u for the screen, I think it is the only option u r left with. But don't forget to quote the cost of the screen dude I'm eagerly waiting for the cost.
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Vodafone 3G free

After a long busy schedule :D:D I managed to call Vodafone customer care on saturday afternoon. To my surprise he said yeah u have a offer but it is not yet activated i'll activate and u can use it in 24 hrs and while talking my call gets disconnected.

So i called again some other talked to me he said u have to vodafone store by carrying my sim.

I thought of going to Vodafone care but forgot. Around 8 I got a text message that my 3G service is activated for free :eek::eek::eek::D:D . I checked it worked. I tested it but it is quite poor on a average i get only around 2MBps. Once I got around 6MBps.

If u r going to pay for Vodafone 3G, my suggestion is to ignore it cause I tried speed test in many places but it is around 2 to 3 MBps only
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Your 1GB/month for 6 month offer got activated? Did you send any SMS or something? Cos mine isn;t yet activated. :(
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Yup dude got activated I didnt send any text message just called customer care and asked them I have the offer but it didnt activated it yet, thats it. He is a knowledgeable guy I think so he activated without even asking questions.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
^^Great. Hope mine gets activated soon. However 3G is already activated on my phone, just waiting for that offer to activate.

Also I am getting nice speeds as well -
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
@amjath: you are lucky, I had to call 198 umpteen times and visit Voda store 3-4 times before they did the needful.

I agree, it is around 2-3 mbps only. It is better than edge. But for that speed, it is very very pricey as compared to 2G.

Unless I use maps, youtube/video or heavy updating of apps, for general e-mail, browsing, etc. I find that not much data is used.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
To continue on the same, the entire front panel needs changing for the phone an d not just the display. Thats hat samsung does to you. cost..5200:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Oh.. man sorry to hear that.. As others suggested it would be best to go to the service center. I wonder if they will replace it with an inferior screen..

Also this time buy a case mate. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
After 4 days of fights and discussions and there is no such offer blabberings I got it finally activated. So what I could say in a nutshell is that first you have to activate 3g by texting to 144 'act 3g' then you will get an sms saying that promotion has been successfully activated to your no. Now sms 'act s2' to the same no and it will get activated too. If the no 144 is not working for you then try 141 cos I'm out of station now and I'm confused about the no.

Don't forget to hit thanks if this works. :)
[Galaxy S II General] racing6:
Bought Galaxy S2 in Bangalore, for 30500 with Samsung Bluetooth headset free.

He took my oooold discolored Samsung dual sim phone for 2000:-). Strange, the same shop had offered only 500 when my bro got Galaxy S a year back.. Old is gold eh:)

So total i paid Rs 28500.

1. Amoled is correctly spelt on the box.

2. Manufactured in Seoul, Korea - Jul 11

3. Import by Samsung India - Jul 11.

4. Latest firmware preinstalled.

Edit:

The Vodafone 3G/2G offer was activated, immediately after the device was switched on( with sim inside ofcourse). Got the configuration settings and a confirmation sms too. To be on the safer side, called up customer care, though they had no idea about the offer, they told me that if i've got a confirmaton msg, then i can use 3G/2G, and they also helped me configure for VMC (Vodafone Mobile Connect).
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Congrats m8

Yeah this vodafone guys are dump fellows and also for checking the data usage u need to call them it seems. Stupid guys, stupid rules
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Thanks for the info. Will try doing that now and keep you updated.

EDIT: Doesn;t work. Sending Act S2 on 144 says invalid keyword, and the message is not even going to 141. I have 3G activated already. :(
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
No need to call them for prepaid. *225*3# (send) for 3G and *225*6# for 2G. *225*1# for sms bal. Try these out and see if they work for postpaid.

There also is a decent app which gives you the info once you set the ussd codes in it.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Are these codes same for all region? None of them work here. (UP West)
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
They work here in Mumbai. No reason why Voda would have different systems / codes for different regions.
[Galaxy S II General] ashkash007:
For Maharashtra it is: *141*10#

Basically the first string is the same as that for balance check, the second string i.e. 10 in this case gives details of the dedicated account balance for 3G data.
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
sorry to hear that. go to settings , wireless and network, mobile networks and disable packet data or u will loose tr money like anything cos thats what happened to me all the time for 4 days. now call vodafone cc and ask for a senior guy cos the juniors executives will just give you the printed stupidities... i guess i goofed up with the offer activation number. im really sorry. its cos im out of town... :(
[Galaxy S II General] basupattan:
@racing6 where did you buy..can you please let me know shop/contact.
[Galaxy S II General] vtlrockz:
Finally got the 3G offer activated after 1 month from complain. And the speed is good. I get around 4 to 5 mbps. But the upload speed is horribly slow.
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
Asked for help a few pages back but no one cared to bother. Guys if you could please advice me which one is the updated modem for India, I would be really grateful to you cos I updated it with kg1 and getting poor reception with both network and data now.
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
what modem do you have

hii can you tell me what modem you have bro. if you dont mind, just type *#1234# and post the results here cos i have screwed up my modem and wanna know which one is the latest and greatest for india :confused:

WIFI Issue

Does anyone else have a problem of the WiFi connection intermittently disconnecting? The Wifi symbol is still there but nothing connects to the internet.

Switching wifi off and then on in the phone itself resolves the problem.

But this is seriously annoying. Cant download any game files. Cant keep the fone on download for the whole night.

If anyone else has the same problem, please discuss.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Never had a problem like that
[Galaxy S II General] Gowind:
If that's a joke then I would smile on that as what I made was a joke.

If that's a sarcasm then no comments dude.
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Nope. No problem for me. Even with 1 bar the wifi works as fast as it should.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
My phone sometimes does not connect after WiFi is enabled even though it says WiFi is connected. It has disconnected once or twice while connected but I haven't been able to pinpoint if its the phone or my crappy Linksys router since I don't have any other WiFi device.

I just downloaded Overlook Fing from the market to see if I can find out more using traceroute / ping.
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
of course it was a joke. I am a nair myself
[Galaxy S II General] Fuman4:
Do you happen to have a Netgear router?

[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
I have a Netgear router. No problems with it.
[Galaxy S II General] indrajit_pande:
I connect my laptop and SGS2 to internet using WiFi simultaneously. No problem at all. Use UTStarcom modem, which I bought from BSNL. As R3Y mentioned, 1 bar (when I connect from another room) is good enough to watch youtube videos.

[Galaxy S II General] racing6:
I have this problem only while downloading apps from android market. For apps thru Samsung Apps, the apps download very fast, even files of large size.

For android market i got a solution :), If i download one app at a time, the download is very slow. So i click download on 6 to 7 apps tht i want to download, surprisingly its fast that way, all get downloaded soon. But one at a time, is dead slow :)

I think the problem is with my 6 yrs old outdated broadband modem.

Edit : manually enter the IP address, subnet, gateway,and DNS 1 and 2, and then see if it works
[Galaxy S II General] rocketjack13:

Well I have a similar issue my Vodafone 3g connection drops all of a sudden then there won't be any data connection or only the edge.

SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Screen Protector Glas Series

Just came across this SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Screen Protector - Glas series. Expensive but looks cool. However, I have already bought enough screen protectors and cases or else would have considered this. :D

I have questions. My questions want answers. Pls :)

Can I flash firmwares through ODIN even if I'm not rooted?

Strictly speaking about stock firmwares - can I flash something that's meant for another country (not India)? Or will that change my modem etc?

Whats the battery life that you guys are getting? (Pls mention usage, and FW/Kernel).

I'm getting around 36 hours with like 45-60 mins of gaming, some camera shots, ~2 hours of calls, and a little little GPS. This is with data off. With 2g data on, I get like 30 hours.

Running VillainRom 2.1 and KG3 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:
he was informed to get S2 by may 1st or 2nd week during delhi meet,but he also states there has been nil communication afterwards eventhough he tried to contact samsung(he is also interested in owning a S2)............but he expects it to be before may mid.......lets hope for the best.........
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Ignore the people who are saying that the phone will release with a 1 Ghz processor clock. Better yet, Educate them. Its too bad of Samsung to use social networking /twitter to release half baked info and then withdraw the information. Its even worse of blogs and such sites to use that half baked info to make up articles and spam their own comments with the twitter links of the same articles so that Google searches can spot that article. There is no verification of the information. Samsung too is to blame. There have been no solid sources of information when it comes to the release date and the specs of this phone. To hold a Conference in April and to use the material from February for a top end model and upcoming models shows the apathy and the laziness of the company, somewhere, something is going wrong.

it certainly feels like the same company that designed the SGS2 is not marketing it/publicizing it, atleast in the Indian sub-continent.

Let us wait and watch where this will lead to.

But rest assured, the SGS2 will release with a 1.2 Ghz processor and a Super AMOLED Plus Screen. Its the phone's biggest USP!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ndnesh:
Oh! Ok ! Thanks for the update. Hoping for the best. Cannot wait to hold this phone in my hand!
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Lets look at some of the facts, SAMSUNG has not confirmed the availability of the device. As much as I wish it to be in the first week of May, that is very unlikely. By the time the device actually gets Launched and in stores, it will end up being 3rd week of May. Thats the unfortunate fact.

Croma still does not have the LG Optimus 2X even though its launched, see Flipkart or Infibeam, they still dont have them. When I asked them, they said another few weeks.

Now the most irritating factor in all this, and I will say it for the millionth time. Unfortunately, NO ONE gives a shyt. No one cares to find out the truth, no one cares because they are all part of the "I dont give a fugg" attitude. And for the few who try, they get into the system that circumvents bad info.

Thats the sad truth. I am sure many will not find it to be truthful based upon their so called experience, but this is the fact of SALES in India.

The U.K has been the most involved with getting the info out and successfully found the launch dates and hell, they are getting the delivery dates.

Good luck to all and lets keep waiting. I am sure the wait will be worth it.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
As i said many Channel have shown regarding June availability for SGS 2,,or around 3-4th week of May.

It will be by June only when it will be available across the country.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
how do you suppose we go about getting the correct info
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:

I also read in engadget a while back that Samsung is going to release the phone in April at least in a few places.. Now even south Korea release is not confirmed this month.. Seriously something is wrong.. They must be facing shortages or something
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
Engadget states sgs2 is up for pre order in Korea. here
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Ahh... The million dollar question. When I figure that out, I will share it with the world. Until then, for the time being, we wait for Samsung if not then have this product in other peoples hands in India. Then we will know the truth.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
SGS2 available for pre-order on shop your world.com and will be delivered in india within 12 days of order.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
For Christ Sake... Please read the forums before posting the same redundant materials. shopyourworld is getting their stock from the U.K and shipping it to you here. This product will not be serviceable in INDIA, you will have to ship it back to them or someone in the U.K to get it serviced. Additionally, you are paying close to 7K more for this device...
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
16 Gb or 32Gb prices?

Hey guys, would you kindly be able to clarify if the prices that you have received approximate quotes for(30 -35k) is for the 16 Gb or the 32 Gb model ?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
That would be for a 16GB. I dont believe we will see the 32GB at launch but perhaps at a later time when the 16GB prices come down, the 32GB will be pushed out.
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Hmmm... thats just sad.. The strategic profit model milks the market again... Then again its better than a few years ago when we might have seen such products hit the market much much later..

Heres hoping for a early May release. Think after all the nervous anticipation and psychological trauma, when I finally get the device, I might be hunched over it whispering 'My Precious...' and belting out comments like "don't bad mouth my phone or I'll smack you in the face with my gorilla glass !!" :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Haha, really testing out that Gorilla Glass, aren't ya? ;)

Perhaps waiting for the 2nd Week of may might give us a better idea of its launch.

On a side note, Alfa (Mumbai) said they will be getting them within a week or two and this is UK Stock. No idea on pricing yet.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Let me tell you, after talking to several Samsung Dealers (one in Delhi, and three in South India, including the Samsung Showroom in Bangalore), everyone is expecting this lover to arrive in India by the end of next week or by the 2nd week max. Pricing will be between 30k-35k.

Samsung will not announce anything 'till the day before its release. South Korea didn't even get its share yet--who knows whats brewing in Samsung's kitchen. Interestingly, UK is still getting their stock by next week. If they are getting it, then India is sure in line to get something positive shortly after. Patience is the key, lol.

BTW- has anyone in India spotted any advertisement of the Samsung Galaxy S2 like on television or billboards? :D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:

Is this a reliable source?

1.2 GHz Dual-core Samsung Orion Processor.

[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I responded to that here, although the stock may get in earlier, who knows what the exact date of launch is. Sadly enough, I have accepted to wait.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Just coming back from Anupam store with some news about the India availability.

The Samsung official rep at Anupam (they have resident samsung rep in their mobile stores here in Mumbai ) are now saying they are expecting SGS2 in the 2nd week of June for wide availability. I dont know how much to trust them, but this person was the first one who intimated me about impending Nexus S release in Jan when honestly I thought there was no chance of this phone coming to India.

So I am inclined to believe him. So dont get your hopes up too much for early availability. If it comes early, it will be good surprise ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
WOW, just what I figured, it will end up being JUNE......

I may as well just pick it up on my way back to the states. Anyway, good luck to all those who have gotten it and those who will get it soon.

I am sure Alfa will be getting it but for a hefty price.

Guys,

Anyone tried 2.3.4 ?

It seems even with KF3 firmware update u see an increase of 15% improvement in battery life.

I'm on xxkg6 2.3.4 .

Pls post ur firmware n any experiment/experience with new firmwares ?
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Guys dont move away from KE8 firmware. With both KF3 n kg6 firmwares m seeing pink spot bug.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Disagree. I am also getting pink spot in KF3, but only in certain situations. But KF3 benefits (better battery life, speed and cooler operation) far outweigh occasional pink spot. BTW, I also used to get pink spot sometimes in KE8.
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Think u r right.

I tried to reproduce the pink spot issue after returning from office, counld not!

I'm now on 2.3.4 xxkg6. With kf3 n xxkg6 i see a massive reduction in battery consumption by Android OS n Android System.

Power cosumption during phone call n edge access are also reduced a little.

Expecting to see ateast 15% improvement in battery life.

However i observed that kg6 is introducing some glithces in audio playback whenever i access some applications parallelly which are not cached.

Now i doubt whether this issue was there with KE8 too ?!! Not sure n m not able to go back to KE8. Phone just reboots continuously after downhrading to KE8.

Will wait for official Indian KG6. Then will measure the occurences of pink spot bug.

Regarding Warranty. Anybody knows if Samsung Service Centers in India check if the phone is rooted, or check the download counter etc? Is it safe to root/flash without effecting the warranty?

You must know that i have created this thread with the sole intention of letting everyone know that SGS 2 is launched.

But over a period of time,it turned out to be a discussion topic,so if you have any doubts/queries better create a separate thread or topic or use already existing topic for it.
