SGS2 in the Philippines - Galaxy S II General

Hi,
As an previous owner of the HTC DHD, active in the "DHD in the Philippines" thread, I found threads like this to be useful in the enjoyment of our devices.
Lots of help and information have been passed around in that thread and I hope that there would be a SGS2 community as well.

what's up chong?

Previous DHD user. Nice to see you here kamusta sila dun?

Ano meron dito? What did you do in the "DHD in the Philippines" thread back then?

How much is the SGS2 going for in the Philippines?

Well it's more of a community within a community. ROM comparison, MOD reviews, in-depth help and announcements.

Wow, a pinoy-centric thread.

Hello
I'm confused with all the firmwares, do you know what's the latest and the so far "stable"?

I believe it would be KH3.
I'm still on stock and mine has only updated to KH2.

Is it newer than the KG[X] series of firmware? But basing from the alphabet, it should be.
I'm currently on XXKG1, but I think data connection with this firmware is kinda unstable.

I think so. When I updated to KH2, I noticed my battery lasts longer. I'm currently on 64% for 28 hours unplugged.
I've used minor gps and wifi here and there. Some calls. Mostly texts.. and admiring the screen.

Watsup mga pinoys! Sino d2 batista rom user? Ano mas better ninpo or speedmd

@timoti
wow! 28hours na? medium usage ba yan?
@peeyar
i juggle between ninphetamine, speedmod, and ragemod. halos wla akong mkitang difference, voltages in setCPU can't be tweaked for speedmod

I'm from Vietnam, never heard about X10 price in Vietnam.
Congrats mate, ive read alot about the x10 and i will not buy it cuz:
Overpriced
android 1.6
and on the videos it seemed to lag alot :S, for 800 bucks it should be neat and fast and finaly alot of speculations are made at Iphone 4g/fourth generation that will if lucky have two options either with hw keyboard or without (i dont belive it will have a keyboard), but anyways with a 5mp camera on twice the speed if 3gs, twice stronger battery on the 4g it would certanly be a catch since im getting it for free (brother lost bet )

u should really save your iphone braggin for a forum that cares about it..
x10 - not yet
i have Motorola Milestone and HTC Hero and X1 to play with and test all roms. X10 will come with Donut 1.6 and considering whats on offer right now isn't worth the money. the hype on this phone is dying daily and SE needs to pull something out of the hat to resurrect it. not due till April on Vodafone UK and by then next gen Iphone will be making its way out. This phone will be drowned by whats available now and at the time of release. its a lovely looking phone but thats not enough anymore. Acer Liquid is so nice looking but so crap its unreal. i'd hold off for a few months after release see if SE plan any software updates for this thing

cant wait for the update
Thanks I like it.. but now
but if this is true than its kinda dissapointing..tht means still SE r going with 2.1 update tht too in Q4...so no 2.2 ..i hope v atleast get 2.2 in Q1 2011
I doubt they would sign it until the final release version. The pre-release ones would most likely only be usable on development phones.
Maybe this is for the early update firmware and at Sept. will be getting 2.2
It's still good. It means SE is supporting our phones and working on it. This means their giving what customer wants too
Omg can't believe I am seeing this, we can't get a leaked version?
so let's hope it will be released on time, I want to see some live background on my 4'' screen lol.

did you read his post? its in a beta stage, so they are busy adding these thing.
don' know why this should be fake. evrybody knows we are getting this update.
... leak?
... leak? marketing? it seems that our 2.2 whishes stress SE. good. so the community has to go on
... maybe they have to leak a "root/bootloader - thing" to fight the strong wind which is blowing
... i spoke with a provider representativ and he told me, that the company he is working for, is also angry about SE
because of good hardware/bad software, X10 with 1.6 is bad for their android marketing strategie (against the new iphone) ...
Not a fake (just my mind). Check the fingerprints..

I'm sorry, I can't help you with your stock issue. But I would like to comment on price. Price will change when the phone isn't as desired. To make it more desirable in a few months, they'll drop the price to combat newer, better speced phones.

Is it around £400 or US$645??? That's not bad. In UK it costs around £450-475. In Brazil it was launched today at just under R$ 2k, which corresponds to US$ 1,250. Lucky you guys in India! That's the reason why it's sold out. Nevertheless, it's still bloody expensive everywhere =P

Hello Dude..there is no question of better screen etc...both are same super amoled plus screen..in the 1st batch it was a spelling mistake..and there are some screen issues in the 1st lot products..bt in the 2nd lot they have rectified it & probably other probs also rectified..i asked u as wanted to know whether 2nd batch came into market or not...there is nothing called "AMOLDED"

Tips for Increasing Battery life

I found this link in the thread for the new MikG ROM, I did all of this when I was trying out ShiftDeck and noticed a massive increase in battery life.
Just did all (most) of the steps on MikG and even though the ROM hasn't settled in because I just flashed the ROM last night, I am still noticing some increases in battery life .

Thanks for the link - will try this once 2.3.3 is rooted.

Appreciate the sentiment - my time in the Army is almost up (if the VA ever finishes up my ratings) - I've loved the past 8 years, but time to move on. Not sure if the forum will block the acronym that usually applies, but I'm a Tanker Without A Tank...haven't been inside an Abrams in several years unfortunately. Although, many of us Kilos are in the same boat. Are you prior service or currently in?

Brazilian GT-N7000 Thread (Tips & Tricks | PT-BR | etc..)

I saw a similar thread for the SGSII and thought that it's a great idea.
There are quite a few brazilian note users and we need a place to share local experiences with the Note.
I'll also take this opportunity to offer my JIG to anyone in my area needing that assistance. I live in Londrina, PR so if you're around and need a JIG let me know
(Even though Chainfire's TriangleAway will render the JIG useless once everybody move to ICS).
I bought my note on eBay, but recently visited a vivo store, and with a 200 minutes plan the note can be had for just under R$ 1000 which is quite good.
Good to have a Brazilian Note thread.
I'm American, living in Rio for 3 1/2 years. Ordered my Note from Amazon in December and picked it up when I was in the States in January. Have been in total awe ever since.
My first smart phone was a Nexus One (ordered the first day it was available). My second was Nexus S (actually ordered for my wife). I liked it so much better than the Nexus One I got one for me. Both were updated to ICS and not rooted.
Then one day my wife left her NS in a cab in Rio. That gave me the chance to get the Note and give her my NS.
Without a doubt, The Note is the best smartphone I have ever used. Too many features to flout, but the DISPLAY! Simply amazing!
How could I ever go back to a smaller phone? My wife's NS seems like a toy now.
Hello Guys!
I'm from Brazil too. I'm from Blumenau, SC. I loved my Gnote. My first android phone was a Galaxy S and after 5 weeks with my new GN i'm loving it.
Abraços!
Hello, I'm brazilian too, from Santos/SP.
There is some ics custom rom available with language Portugues(Brasil), already?
thanks
i would not bother with the leaked roms right now since the official release is right around the corner
Greetings from Rio!
Got my n7000 from VIVO, and rooted soon after(zergrush). Then installed chainfire's kernel and a newer ROM (la4 right now)... Couldn't be bothered to wait for an official VIVO Rom (their Galaxy Tab support taught me that)!
To be honest, I'm not sure I can ever revert it back to a true 'stock' kernel/rom. Can anyone answer this?

Hmm.. The problem would be to find it... Once you did flashing with ODIN is super simple.
I'll try to locate it for you.

Found it : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=6
Second one is for vivo. So downloading it in flashing via ODIN would bring you back to stock.

Thanks bro!
I think mine came with ubkk3/tokk1 (gb 2.3.5), and these firmwares weren't available a couple months back. Thanks for the info!
Thanks again for this...Would I have needed that JIG thingie if I had flashed my Note through ODIN?

If you flash an original firmware your flash counter stays zero so no. Plus once ics is in the picture you can use triangle away to remove the triangle and flash counter any time you need it.

So guys, I'm looking to buy a new phone in order to replace my Defy.
I'm between the Note and the Nexus (Galaxy X for us).. I'm in love with the screen size and batery life of the Note, but I'm worried about community support for it.
Is the brazilian version the same found in the US? I mean, am I going to have problems when the time comes to update to Jelly Bean? I say this 'cause we all know Samsung won't update it past ICS...
Thanks in advance.
Abraços.
Brasílian note is exactly like the international version so no worries there.

I'm from RJ, capital, and am used to customizing Android in all levels, so give me a ping if you need help.
And never wait for official releases. If you think international ICS is taking a while, add 3 to 4 months for brazilian ICS.

+1, surely add months from internacional releases and their arrival in Brazil.
I'm from Rio too, vivo made in Manaus GNote and I'm on imilka's AOSP ICS. Everything works perfect, aside from known bugs of course.
I'm on 160dpi... Perfect pure ICS tablet set up. Every who knows what is doing should give a try in this ROM. Any problem, PM me (I'm trying to not fload threads with basic questions)
I'll upload some screens.
