Sound of speaker is great

Music clarity and even bass effect is very real like little big speakers.
[Galaxy S II General] applefreakpeeps:
It's as original as it gets (Indian code + AMOLDED spelling). I got one for my friend (as I've already ordered mine thru the infi deal). He'll quote a regular price of 29990. Referring Vinay will make him bring it down to 28990.

Chennai Potential SGS2 owners

Hi all i have got some request from some of the Chennai guys for buying the SGS-2 for 29650 through cash payment only.

Right now the following user are interested to buy the phone

Joe_Nalin - Total 4 phones for joe and his friends.

kunalparwani - 1 phone

jaisun2004 - 1 phone ( card payment cost 29990 - sorry cant help it bro)

netcitizen - ( do you want the phone ? let me know. I am planning to check for a group buy of 4 phones for now for Joe_Nalin as he is so sure to get the phone today)

Unless i get a confirmation Pm from other, i will not include your count for this deal. Casual takers, pls stay away. I dont want to look stupid in front of him.

NOTE:

More the numbers, more the possibility of discount. Even the members name i have list above are requested to confirm once again throught PM to proceed. I do not check the forum post regularly, so mostly only PMs will be answered

@swapnil

u can get it from hypercity malad for 29999
[Galaxy S II General] gp_freak:
Wow, thats news, let me try pull down the price of the SGS2 here in chennai from 29650. Damn, you are one lucky guy bro. Even the group deal dont come that cheap in chennai.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Just one more day to go... and then the phone shuld be ready with infibeam for shipping i think :D all excited...
[Galaxy S II General] swapnilp18:
is credit card emi facility available at hypercity malad ??????????........reply soon
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Thanks, will try to call once I get back to Hyderabad.

Could some more people comment on the banding issue with gradients, there really shouldn't be any banding if the phone supports 16 million colours.

How bad is it in daily use, is it a deal breaker if you use wallpapers with gradients, any word on acknowledgement from Samsung if its a software issue that they are addressing?
[Galaxy S II General] gp_freak:
If my memory serves right, Amoled is still in 16 bit colour depth. Yes, colur banding is present in Gradient. That comes up even in the Test screen in diming mode.

Its not a deal breaker. The screen is awesome is all i can say. You will never be happy with any other screen once you use Super Amoleds except for retina display even thought it can just barely keep with the saturation levels of super Amoleds.I can bet that.

by the way, the best wall paper you can use will be the Back ones. White text in black back ground looks Surreal.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Its very minimal and certainly not a deal breaker. I have a few wallpapers on here to test and I cannot see that much banding. Quality comes with a price, and in this case, its slight gradient banding.

Live with it or move on from this device. But for all those who keep seeking the answer, I will say that I am a bit of a perfectionist and it has not affected my mindset a bit about this device.
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
Guys,

Just spent some time with my S2 and here are my observations:

Negetive points first:

1. I dont know why my piece is acting like a finger print magnet!!! The demo piece was not attracting any finger prints at all!!! :-( Need to apply screen guard ASAP.

2. Highly disappointed with headphone audio quality, offcourse I'm comparing the audio with my ipod touch. May be because the headphones provided are mediocre ? or because the stock media player in the s2 is not good. So I'm looking at winamp, poweramp etc.

Now the positives:

1. Very happy with the display quality, slimness.

2. Not at all uncomfortable while using the phone, although its size is huge (4.3 inch).

3. The camera quality is awesome. Not yet tested the video recording.

I need to work out on this phone more, find a suitable music player etc.... Overall I'm happy with the phone. I'll be completely satisfied once I find some good music players.
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Guys,

Anyone else who made a goof like me by missing the fabulous offer managed by Dhruv / Arjun?

Please post to show interest so that a similar best price deal can be arranged again?

Arjun/Dhruv, kindly see if this is possible...

Thanks a lot for the initiative you guys had taken, looking forward to this again and also similar group purchase benefits on accessories too!

@arjun and @dhruv

I think it wuld be better if u maintained that excel of who purchased and what details are pending.. with a yes or no... this will ensure that you dont have to reply to each and every PM's... :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Hi Guys,

Arjun has his Exams this week so he will try posting when he gets a break. I will be a bit busy with Meetings today. But we will have a confirmation talk with Infibeam today.

Perhaps for the few that missed the details, we might be able to get a few links send out to you. They are good guys, hopefully they will be able to do so.

Thanks.

P.S, the details for most are with us, to maintain privacy, we will not post that detail of WHO purchased and their details.

ONCE the confirmation has been received with Infibeam this evening, we will delete all record of your details as well as the PM's.

:)

From the same thread I got to know that *#0*# is a test for dead pixel. Once you type this in you get a screen for running different diagnostics..(the screen shot also was posted in the same thread)...and also there is *#*#0*#*#* for Yellow spot (which took me to the same screen as above). According to my knowledge these are the tests...

If I missed anything others can add...

white glowing spot on the bottom left corner of the screen

Guys,

Need urgent help.

When I goto this above mentioned site, I can see that there is a glowing white spot at the bottom left corner of the screen, its at the corner most bottom left.

when I move the screen little bit lower by dragging it, the spot disappears. also this spot does not appear in LCD test (R, Green, Blue).

Guys, is the spot purposefully kept there to signify the end of the screen in fiddle.jshell.net... ?

Please reply, if that is the case then I can replace my model.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yes, I have noticed that also. Its not a dead pixel or anything, its normal.

Dont worry! :)

Employee Discount

Yesterday I spoke to a dealer from whom samsung employees use to take mobiles. He said 10-15% will be getting as employee discount and we just has to provide the photo copy of employee Id card. shocking thing is the pricing.

And the pricing is he said is 29,000/- after employee discount provided payment is done by Cash or DD. If credit Card 2% extra which will go upto 29,600/- around.

Guys,

I feel that the pics taken are very grainy. The view looks very good before capturing and not grainy but the captured one is. Will using a different camera app solve this?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Dont worry, I did notice that also, it does move and go away. Its not a screen issue. Also if you take a screenshot and go to gallery/screenshots/ and zoom in that image, you will see that you dont get the white spot on the bottom left anymore.

Its the page.

case advice for SGS2

A big hello to everyone on the board and thanks for all the advice leading upto the purchase of the SGS2.

Have narrowed down on the following for the case (casemate barely- there case):

://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CASE-MATE-BARELY-THERE-CASE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S-2-/120720900292?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item1c1b86c0c4

What I needed clarification on was that since its a UK seller, are the dimensions of the Indian and Uk phone versions any different?

The SGS2 spec sheet says 16M colours so it should support 24bit, IIRC 16bit color is 65536 colours only. I'm just wondering why there isn't more hue and cry about this issue which mars an otherwise excellent screen.

Hmm.. maybe I should try and see the SGS2 screen in action with some gradients before spending 30k on it. I'm a bit of a perfectionist too and it would irk me no end to have such an expensive phone with a flaw in its screen (which is the main reason I'm considering buying this phone).

Thanks for your feedback guys.

Seriously I'm done with commenting about Tegra and people who can't believe it's Tegra-Only or are sure "YEAH IT'S COMING TO NON-TEGRA". Are you dumb or ?

Just play Tegra-games on your Exynos Galaxy S II if you think you can, I don't care.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Sorry..... but you ain't right (please don't get mad).

It's just NVIDIA/Tegra pr talk. As i said before, look at pc games with NVIDIA logo (specialy designed etc talk) they can be played well on other videocards.

Okidoki...right :D
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
You are trolling right? Or you didn't even looked at the link I posted?
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Try buying tegra games. You can't on non tegra phones.

Also if u r little resourceful , get the apk of those games. They won't run on non tegra handsets.

PC gaming is different. There you have DirectX standard.

Here tegra games use texture compression that can't be handled by non tegra soc at the moment.

And that's the fact.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
I'am not trolling. I just said that those games can be played on other proc. That Tegra-zone won't let you download them to non-tegra devices has nothing to do with it. That's just because tegra zone site is tegra only. Those games will be aviable at other places.

Iknow what you mean and saying....hope you know what i say/mean also!?!
[Galaxy S II General] Deusdies:
It's not just PR talk. When I tried buying one it said "You don't have a TEGRA powered device" and it didn't let me buy it.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Well I know what you mean and still I don't agree. Here are some messages from "What you are saying"-forum

I KNOW these are Single-Core devices, though they have got messages saying TEGRA-only.

IT IS PROCESSOR-BLOCKED. ONCE FOR ALL. Even if you try to find the APK, you WON'T be able to play it.
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Get your point and thnx for extra quotes. We will see if those games will be released at other places for other processors.

(maybe the wish is bigger then the brains....) :rolleyes:

Who gives a **** :-)

If gaming was number one i would have bought SE Play
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
+1

Yeah it's a shame that some may or may not be playable on all devices (and honestly I don't give a flying frak so don't yell at me) but it's true if I was worried about mobile gaming on my smart PHONE I'd buy a SE Play
[Galaxy S II General] golf2vr6:
Ok this is what i mean:

For example Backbreaker.

Backbreaker THD

Providing the richest combination of video effects including dynamic self-shadowing, Backbreaker THD is an enhanced version developed specifically to be played on NVIDIA® Tegra™-powered devices.

(This is the HD version from/for Tegra/zone)

Backbreaker HD:

Backbreaker Football is one of the original “HD” games on Android and can be had today from Amazon for FREE. Normally priced at $2.99, this is a game that will give you some instant satisfaction as a football fan or even just someone that loves getting crushed while holding a football. Might as well grab and give it a good 10 minutes at least; you’ll more than likely get a few laughs out of it when your head gets knocked off while showing-boating at the 2

http://urandroid.com/2011/04/05/backbreaker-football-is-free-today-from-amazon-appstore/

I do not own android (yet) so i can be wrong..please tell me....
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
OKay, there's also a Non-Tegra Version of BackBreaker. I didn't knew that.

It exists for a longer time than the Tegra-version. (Almost a year)

Though it doesn't change anything in what I said: Tegra games are ONLY for Tegra-SoCs and cannot be runned under anything other.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
Yes, there are non Tegra version of 3 games that are there in Tegra zone. But they do look little different from Tegra games.

To be honest, there is not much that is going with Tegra at the moment to justify purchasing a different phone at this point in time.

There is no way I would choose something like LG Optimus 2X over the SGS II. SGS II does not have Tegra, its more expensive, but you get a lot more with the phone as well.

But what Nvidia is doing with Tegra Zone will only harm android gaming scene. Or it will turn out to be a dud for Nvidia.

Either way, SGS II and HTC superphones are almost guaranteed to have larger user base.
[Galaxy S II General] jeezus:
True, hopefully and most like they will fail.

Out of spite, will be avoiding nvidia products on pc side also. ;D
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
Dude, you're stubborn. golf2vr6 clearly stated that he understood the Tegra-Only Part. All he's saying is that these same games are available to non Tegra2 phones elsewhere than the Tegra Zone. Reading posts objectively helps alot, you should try that. Don't get pissed at people for trying to voice their way of seeing things. Calm down ..! :)
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
He said "Ok this is what i mean:" in the beginning of his post, though that's not what I understood before when he said for example "It's just NVIDIA/Tegra pr talk. As i said before, look at pc games with NVIDIA logo (specialy designed etc talk) they can be played well on other videocards.".

I read it objectively. For example you can't find any Non-Tegra version of Samurai II. And you'll not find a non-tegra version of "Vendetta Online" when it comes out.

[Galaxy S II General] harr1994:
Guys why r we spamming this thread for teagrazone ****....sgs II is going to be the beatseller of this year and will sell millions of phones. Other dual core devices like evo 3d,sensation,etc. Will also arrive at the scene. The makers of games for teagra zone will be compelled to create those games for non-teagra devices esp sgs II,they will not make their profit suffer(will they?)....sgs II exyon processor if not more but is atleast equally capable to teagra in perfomance...with so many copies of devices sold the devs will automatically port these games to sgs II....and so lets wait for what time brings and wait ;)
