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

you could always go down to your local phone shop and test one

Yes I think this would be the easiest option, especially given there is a retail outlet where I work! I'm back in the office tomorrow so will do some tests then.

Just picked up mine today, loving it so far. Bit weird to get used to though

two noob-like questions:

A)- How do i get to sync my google calendar onto the phone?
B)- How do I set a different notification sound for email than one for texts?

thanks.

Can anyone confirm if the SGS2 has a FM transmitter? I use that a lot on my phone to stream spotify onto the car radio.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't

 

[Robbo]

It doesn't have an FM transmitter.

 

[MissChief]

Since I flashed to 2.3.4, taking a pic is so slow that I'd have to be ready 10mins before "favourable lighting condition" occurred lol

This may have been mentioned before or may even be common knowledge. We all know that by not shutting an app down the right way will leave it running in the background which can be viewed via the home key/Task manager correct?

The only way to shut down the app on this phone is to use the back space key untill you hit the desktop. If you close your apps down like that they wont appear as running in the task manager. Try it for yourself.

Well, judging by the worrying comments of things being slower or GPS not working or whatever, I think I'll stay put with my stock rom 2.3.3 because at least everything works fast, and GPS is unbelievably quick. I remember having to wait between 2 and 10 minutes to get a satellite fix with my HTC Diamond, and only then outdoors, never inside my house. With the SGS2, it gets a fix anywhere in about 5 seconds.

I thnk people should bear in mind 2.3.4 is a leaked version, so perhaps it's not fully optimised.

2.3.4 works perfect here Can't seem to fault it... saying that i could't fault it as it was anyway :/

Killing an app in the Samsung task manager will have the exact same effect. But you shouldn't need to kill/close any apps at all - only rogue apps that you know are killing the battery.

Point is you can stop all your apps you have finished with from running in back ground instead of having to pop into task manager to see what is still running..

Has any phone ever had this built in?!

 

[rapid64k]

Only on my old Nokia N97.

Has anyone got Google Talk video calls with the leaked update?
