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

Well one thing that I am a little disappointed in is that in the standard browser the text won't reflow when you pinch to zoom. Found this a really nice feature and hope that one of the roms puts this right.

They should do but you can double tap to reflow zoom in or just use another browser :p
 
Doesn't work in Dolphin HD browser which is the one I prefer and its just nice to have the text reflow when you pinch to zoom in to any level. It would just be nice is all not a deal breaker though.

What's reflow mean?

Basically when you zoom in or in this case double tap on a piece of text it will wrap around the screen so you don't have to scroll side way to see the text. On HTC phones as soon as you pinch to zoom it reflows, but it won't on the s2
 
Got my Galaxy S2 yesterday and LOVING it! Sooooo much to learn though after being an iPhone owner for the last 3 years :D

Gonna stick with it and get it looking all cool like ;) Cheers to cmt for a great deal (over at AV), thanks dude :cool:

Also Khaaan, great comparison pic with the IP4 (and I have to agree with your comments), but what browser is that on the S2? Looks nifty :)

thanks
 
And can someone please tell me how to remove the Samsung lockscreen? I've installed WidgetLocker but now just need to remove the standard lockscreen. Searched for a solution but no-go so far :(

Hey AFK can you please tell me how you got the greyed out icons and also the bottom dock icons displaying as text? :)

I'd guess he's using a different launcher such as Launcher Pro and simply replaced the icons with some downloaded icons stored on the SD card.

I do the same to make mine look like below.

Ahh cheers mate, just spotted "Custom Launcher Icons" in the market... 2 quid for a zillion icons and alternative docks doesn't seem too bad. :)

Ok I give up, this things is getting traded in for an iPhone 4. There is something seriously wrong with Wifi on it (see the thread on XDA Devs) I have a new WNDR3700 Dual Band router, I don't get full strength on 5Ghz sat in the same room as the router, on 2.4Ghz the signal has lost 10 of Mbps when I'm 10 feet from the router with a plaster board wall between me and it...other than the wifi I quite like it I'm just a bit annoyed at the moment with the poor wifi performance (worse than the £99 San Francisco...)

10 metres, 3 brick walls, a floor away from my gf's livebox, 1 bar wifi.
At home, 5 metres and a plasterboard wall away from my old netgear and I have full bars.

So it really sounds like there is something wrong hardware wise with a batch or something of phones. I've flashed my WNDR3700 to DD-WRT to see if boosting power makes any difference and it doesn't. I've tried limiting it to G, G and N 20Mhz, 40Mhz N 5Ghz and just about every combo you can think of from power, rate, channel and config.

In my lounge which is maybe 7 meters away tops I get 1 or no bars and there are no brick walls they are all plaster between it and the router. just outside the room I've lost 1 bar already and the link speed plummets

Im having loads of fun setting these new custom icons up... phone is looking pretty damn slick now! Question though: does anyone know a greyscale clock and weather widget (4x1 horizontal), preferably transparent, that will fit in with my current greyscale theme?

EDIT - Answered my own question, fancy widget downloadable skins.

I'm using Boat Browser Mini (yes, Boat... I have no idea why!) and the lockscreen doesn't/shouldn't be removed entirely, Widgetlocker goes over it anyway as the stock lockscreen handles the hardware buttons in the background according to widgetlocker!

I can't get it to work on Dolphin HD either... I have to pinch n' zoom out a bit to get it all fitting nicely.
