I'm guessing you're one of the users who experienced the blackout today on BBM? Quite a few of my friends on Twitter were ranting about it ...

Will the galaxy s2 be fully upgradable to ICS? I have never owned an android device before and will be picking one up in the next week, but I won't be buying into outdated hardware will I?

Samsung Galaxy II update to increase the size of icons

wtf!? it better not affect go launcher etc.

That will ruin the stock launcher, it will look like a kids play phone.

 

[Spudgun]

how do i disable the shrill beep the phone gives out when fully charged? it wakes me up at night -_-

I think it has disappeared in hte 2.3.5 roms, I certainly no longer get this when running KI3

As posted in the SGSIII thread, yes, the SGS2 will get ICS based on the agreement many manufacturers have with Google regarding software updates. They will receive updates for a minimum of 18 months after release providing the hardware is capable. SGS2 is easily capable of running ICS.

the second you walk out of the shop its outdated

The **** is this ****! increasing the icon size because of this whole Apple issue is stupid. DECREASE the size and allow 5x5 which would be just fine for the big screened S2 :/

At least ROM devs won't be doing this. Can't imagine anyone over at XDA being best pleased with a 3x3 grip LOL.

i just thought the same thing reading that. I prefer 5x5 anyway....

Looks very nice! Still in alpha stage though..

 

[Frapple]

Could someone on Vodafone just download either DC Comics or Comics by Comixology and see if their stores work on 3G/GPRS/EDGE etc?

Can't get anything out of them unless it's wifi, feel sure they used to work!

I'm really jealous of you right now!!! I could have saved so much money ahh!

 

[AndyCr15]

Oh, my connection is fine, I was just using that application to show the screen fault as you can see it easy on that background

No it's not, you don't have a data connection in the pic you show, and the app says it needs data. Kinda simple. What was your original question?

 

[Matteysan]

You don't see the huge line going through his screen?

 

[AndyCr15]

Ahh, I see a line, yes. I thought the screenie was about the data error. If the post had made any reference to it, I would have known

 

[james.miller]

what, like this post?

Looks like I'm sending my phone back already. . . only had it since Tuesday.

Theres a horizontal line of dead pixels which have just appeared from nowhere, I noticed it when I was watching the iPlayer earlier and it definitely wasn't there when I got it.

Really frustrating as I haven't dropped it yet so I have no idea how its just happened.

it was two posts before the one you quoted...helps to read thread

 

[cu3ed]

Anyone know how I can stop my phone uploading pics I take to picasa, ive gone to my sync menu and its not there, cannot see a way of stopping it..bit of a pain on teh battery.

 

[AndyCr15]

what, like this post?

No, not like that post, separate from the image saying 'I have this issue, look'. I mean like the post where the guy says, 'I have this issue, look' with no reference to the issue or even any earlier post.
