I feel stupid, I only just discovered that if you go into contacts, then swipe across the person's name, it calls them. Not sure how it picks which number it uses as I've only used this on contacts with one number.

Before that, I was going into the contact details and then hitting the call button... :rolleyes:

Yes in one direction it calls the person and the other direction it opens the message screen.

Need alittle advice. I'm travelling to the USA for 6 weeks on Tuesday but after calling O2 they told me data is charged at something silly like £1 pmb. So I want to be able to still receive calls and when wifi is enabled to collect emails and get any app updates or syncing but othwrrwise not have any normal data connection.

My question is will just turning off data when holding the power key do this totally or are there more options that need tweaking?

Cheers.

You must also turn off "Packet Data" if you have this turned off your phone wont use any mobile data. You wont be able to recieve any picture messages as well, this also is counted as data usage. But using the power key option alone will not stop your phone upping your data usage so make sure you turn off the packet.

Tonight, while I was connected to my wireless network and the phone wasn't being used, it apparently connected to 3G and uploaded 60mb of info. That's now 140mb of data over the last five days. My data usage monitors have recognised that it's being uploaded, but not which app or process is using it. I can't image what would want to upload that much info and what it would be.

Strangely, none of it appears on my Vodafone account, but I have emailed them to ask for my data usage. Very odd behaviour.

I have been waiting for the 2.3.4 update before loading a new ROM, but I might not wait and go for a factory reset. Apart from this mysterious uploading (which uses loads of battery), battery life is now at a perfectly acceptable level. Very frustrating. I reckon it might me an app thing, rather than a SGS2 thing, judging by how I've not seen anyone else complain.

Eh! if your connected to your Wi-fi it should over ride the phone connection not the other way around.
Am i right?

Hmmm, maybe I've been working too many hours as I could have sworn it used to go into sleep mode after a min and would NOT wake via the home button but only the power button. Im sure this was normal behavior :rolleyes:

I think you will find Kona786 is correct.


My phone has been on for 12 hours played a few short games had around 1 hour 30 mins worth of calls, been linked to Wi-Fi all day been updating weather reports and battery is at 62%.:D
 
Still getting surprises from this phone. They have added good attention to detail in the way the phone can get things done.
Im not going to split hairs over Sense or Touchwiz to some that may be a deal breaker to others like myself its a non issue.
All i would say is that I dont miss my Desire one bit. I take it out somestimes and have a play with it (ohh ehh misses:p) and quickly put it back, to me the SGS2 wins hands down in ease of use - not going to compare screens that would be daft im just talking ease of use here the way things have been simplified. Like discovering short cuts an how to implement things.
Yes this phone is a win win all round.
