****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

mate at work has some martin fields con artist screen protectors, paid shed loads, i gave him the 3 cheapo ones that came with a £3.99 case via ebay.... both looked the same and no one else could tell the difference. foolish spend IMO
 
Ergh, someone end my misery.

I flashed Villainrom using CWM recovery and it's been working fine but I wanted to try that litening rom instead, so I flashed it using Odin as instructed but it ends up in a boot loop.

Should I go into CWM first and wipe everything before flashing or is there some other method as I'm doing it via Odin instead of using CWM?

That depends on ur experience, i've felt some cheap screen protectors and they don't feel enough like the glass... I've also seen a friend who scraped his screen by accident on a sharp piece of metal from his car he was working on, and it didn't get thru the martin fields - plus the fact you can't even tell it's on there it's so transparent... I have no doubt there are other good makes out there, but it's the personal recommendation and experience of it that sells it for me.
 
has anyone here downloaded Google+ onto their SGS2 yet? It has a function whereas pictures you take with the camera automatically upload to the Google+ but it does not seem to work for me. Just wondering if anyone else has the issue (in case it is an SGS2 specific problem).

If you want to test this and haven't got a google+ account I can send you an invite.

Can someone help me out here.

I just had my old number from O2 ported across by T-Mobile and the phone now receives calls and sends the ported number when I make a call.

Thing is when I go into Settings and "About Phone" and look at "My phone number" - the number there is still the old one that was on the original SIM.

Am I missing something here or do they all do that?

Sorry if it's a dumb question.

screen protectors are like having sex with a condom on, your safe but it's not half as good ;)

I read somewhere that every hour they only let a certain amount join. Click the "Learn more about Google+" message/button again in an hour. I think they stopped/disabled the "proper" invites button yesterday, but people figured out a workaround was just sharing messages to new users and they got an email that had a link to signup, that's how I got in anyway.

Ur right the glass feels better, but only just, I got a martin fields, and it feels pretty good, had an SGP before that but didn't like it, it felt better but kept getting smears over it. Tbh with how annoyed I was getting trying to fit the screen protector last night with just a few specs of dust, I figure i'd be pretty pee'd off with a scratch, so now I can't even tell the protector is on the phone I'm happy :D

I wouldnt worry too much about the screen, I ran my N900 for 20 months or so without a protector, the n900 has a plastic coating, not gorilla glass. I dropped it on gravelly carparks numberous times, and chucked it in my pocket / backpack with 2 sets of keys + coins daily. In that entire time I had the sum total of 1 minor scratch.

I honestly dont know what people are doing to their phones to scratch them so much! :confused:

Also, why the need for Class 10 SD cards? I could understand it in a DLSR or something, but surely in a phone Class 4 would be more than adequate? The camera can only record up to 1080p @ 30fps, which is going to need, what, 3MB/ps max? I cant see anything else which would even need close to a sustained read/write speed that you can do with the phone.

Bizarrely, for some reason I'm in Google+ however I didnt ever sign up. Were invites given out to those who downloaded the app? Thats about as far as my interest in it got me, I downloaded the app and then thought "meh, I'll sign up later".
