I just bought it last Sunday.
Can you guys suggest me things to do with my phone?
Where can I get HD Games for free? Coming from an iPod touch, there are quite some nice games.
Im currently watching movies in it, the screen is gorgeous.
Im not rooted and have no plans at all since I dont want to void my warranty.
Dont reply in this thread if you're gonna act like an insane samsung fanboy
You a gamer? The new Modern combat 3 is outstanding!

Not as easy as you might think! While it's a great device for lots of things, they are very poor at actual calls - you know, their primary reason for existence!
I had to get rid of mine, could not take calls at my desk (Could hear incoming, but outgoing voice was distorted/broken up). Got a Motorola, and can sit in the same place and have a normal conversation.
Try playing Asphalt 6 its free on Samsung App and ShadowGun its awesome too

Samsung Apps offering 16 games free for Galaxy devices

If you're asking for warez, don't wait for people here to take you serious.
Either be happy with the demos which are free, or - as stated earlier already - get a life.
A buddy of mine is looking for a S2, he'd gladly help you to get rid of it again.
Ask netchip, he hasnt rooted his phone but yet he has plenty of fun lol

I'll give you half what you paid for it given it's now second hand. Seeing as you're bored with it and all
Edit - You post a thread like this on a development site and honestly expect not to get flamed ?
Sell it it won't turn in to anything but a smartphone of the sgs2 variety .

When you start a thread like you are bored with your Galaxy S2 you cant really expect people to take you seriously mate especially on the SGSII forums, in the time since ive had my phone ive never been bored quite the opposite actually.
There are many HD games for the SGSII, lots of games in the market, as many apps as the Apple app store and much more for free too just search.
Enjoy your phone.

People say the Android market is not up to scratch but I find it adequate, with the recent 10 billion apps promotion and the free apps on Samsung Apps it's getting decent.
Loads of free apps compared to iOS.
It's actually getting better day by day compared to say this time last year!
As for the phone, best phone still available nothing beats it at the moment and wont until next year.
Enjoy it, grab some apps and start experimenting
Thanks jonny and nikz for the mature replies.
Anyway, what day and time does the android market get updated?
Is there anyway I can buy Android apps without credit card?
Giftcards are the only way I can get them
- You can mod your phone in any conceiveable way
- Get many good and free games via Samsung App
- Play any audio and video format
- Surf the internet with flash (i.e. video streams, browser games...)
... if you are bored with this phone, there was, is and never will be a phone that isn't boring for YOU.
Donate the mobile to me will be useful for testing ICS
It's a phone, primarily bought and used to make calls and texts.
If you're bored than that must mean the obvious. You have no one...to
lol
It's not a PSPVita is a mobile phone.

answer me honestly, did you just buy this phone to make phone calls?
use your head.
Install IQ test.
P.S: Let me know if you are >60.

Well including three demo of Nova in 3.70 sucked me in. I paid the $5 because this game is really cool!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I agree. I was pleasantly surprised by both the performance of the game, and the fact that although it may be called "bloatware", in reality it adds minimal to internal storage (most of the data is stored on SD which I don't mind).
I picked it up a few months ago, its pretty bomb. Modern Combat: Sandstorm is absolutely AWESOME too.

Ok so Adam did you install 3.70? Are you rooted? If so did you get your old official copy of NOVA working? Mine won't it just glitches and hangs?
Any answers would be awesome as I can't play NOVA anymore without REBUYING it BOOOO
Thanks,

Nova 2 looks even better, dont know if its coming to android. Also don't know if our evos can handle it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah gamelofts process of selling is horrible. They need to join the android market. Especially with all the talk on the blogs about them ripping people off. I have been using a titanium restore so I've been ok playing NOVA. I think they right now only offer 90 days that you can redownload aka update. Which is retarded. The games are great but gameloft needs to rethink their android business model quick

Doh well that answers the question Adam,
You don't have to worry about what Sprint did to our EVOs when it comes to NOVA as you arent using even a loose version of the RUU... ahhh well...
As for rethinking their business model I hear you, it's way to hard to get support or help with these issues from them. Not to mention even finding the games is so backwards its almost in opposite land...

Yeah. I wanna say android central (maybe phandroid....cant remember) ran an article today on them charging people numerous times, etc. If they wanna be a serious player why arent they on the market? As easy as it should be, gameloft comes off as shady. And yeah, their stuff is a pain to buy, download, and install. You would think they would wanna cure that issue. Joining the market would do that and alleviate everyones fears of being scammed.
no prob..
well i had the full version of nova before the update, im all stock. and after the update I still have the full version, no changes.
you can actually get modern combat sandstorm for free at getjar.com! it is a fun game and was made free there because of what adam said.

oh darn it, sorry for getting your hopes up. the article was misleading and so was the description. my bad
I don't think they charge you if you activate the demo copy after having already bought it. I got NOVA back in late july, and just activated the demo. It said purchase, but didn't go through the normal process, so I don't think I paid for it. I'll try to post back here in a month when I get my next bill to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that if its the device that you already activated on, it should be free to activate it. It definitely plays better now that its integrated.
I love all the Gameloft games except for Asphalt 5. Its not a really good racing game. Its ok, but not well optimized for Android. I just got Need for Speed Shift when it came out on the Market on the 16th. So far, its awesome! Really snappy great graphics, and really good racing experience.
Can you use wiimote with these games?
On cm 6 of course. I know it doesn't work on sense.

Hello
Well if you guys remember I had a thread saying I had a bunch of apps.
Well I have a problem.
I have on Titanium 309 user apps backed up
I hate how it takes like an hour to restore.
Okay here's my problem I use like 1/10 of them and that's it. All the others are apps that are games that I keep because I like showing off my phone and having a bunch of apps and such to my friends and don't want them to say I have a boring phone. The other reason is because I "think they will be necessary at one point" but that point hasn't come. For example I have shazam pro and haven't used it.
I have asphalt 5 and my friend is the only one that uses it.
Almost all my friends have android phones and while most of them have like 2 games compared to like the 150 I have they are happy and don't care. I do?
I would love to use the adwex vertical new drawer but my friends will say "its so gay it looks like an iphone" so I switched to launcherpro.
Its almost like I have all those things to please everyone else but im not pleased with that
So should I delete all my backups and just download apps I use and not care if I don't have cool games and things? Since I don't use them?

Yes exactly maybe its because I like the attention my phone gets and I love to show off the graphics chip but I don't even use any of them.

If you have room stay with them. I myself have delete the game(s) as soon as im finished with it. On the other hand when you get bored and want those games back so stay up them. try to block those negative thoughts your friends gives you. Their legit buyes so even with one game their happy unlike us.

My problem has been atrention i loved it but i was unhappy so Yeah im deleting the backups as we speak and installing adwex now
Wow its like a weight has been lifted and im going somewhat app sober
The other thing that astonishes me is that my friends have like 10 apps and they don't care
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah i do this also.
Always like "OOO i think i'mma need this app to show off to my friend" but that day never comes.
I've deleted all my backed up apps and now have 80 user apps, and i still don't use about 20 of them, but those are games and i need them sooner or later at boredom. I will never go above 100 user apps. that is a promise to my self, and i don't wanna hurt my phone lol.

We should start an "appaholic" support group. I have had this problem for over 2 yrs now. The nice thing about my G1 towards the end was I couldn't install too many apps even with app2sd it would run out of space around 75 or so. Now I clean my phone every 6 weeks and I keep it that way for about a week. But then I fall off the wagon again. I just can't stop so I guess I'll just keep cleaning and reloading because new apps keep coming out and I just gotta have em.
Its comforting to know I am not alone......

OP, once you have that crap off your phone, ADW EX setup properly and a handful of really good apps... your phone will both look better and run so much better.
If you need some docks/icons there is a good thread in the android theme section (not the vibrant section). I use the Vertical New app drawer and random transitions. Beautiful.

I bought one on saturday from Phones4U £130, there are a few games free for it -Dead Space, sims3 , battlefield- the pad makes it a joy to use, I did have a desire,and chunky fingers meant using the touch screen for gaming was awkward. Although there is some bloatware that cant be removed this phone has been an excellent purchase for that price it runs all the usual Android apps,build quality is ok and you will need a bigger memory card -8GB isnt enough IMO- I havent used the music player yet so I cant comment on that side(despite having 300+ songs on it) best get to a shop and try it
Cool, thanks. The fact that ICS is virtually confirmed makes me want it more

Yeah, I got spoiled by the game pad quick. I can finally play shadow gun and nova the way it was meant to be because it's so much easier to move, look and shoot at the same time now.
Plus being able to play all my childhood games on snes and n64.
This phone really is a one stop shop. Watch movies, read books, web surf, play games...the best phone I've ever owned.
My next phone will definitely have to have a built in game pad.

I bought it today and I think it sucks. I just cant leave swype. Its too good.
But I did buy Minecraft. If you have friends that will link up with you (works with iphone) over wifi then its an insanely fun game. Even alone its a good time waster and just a fun way to be creative. Glad that I waited to buy it though because the regular price is 7$. Deal win.
Edit: I can only pray for titanium backup to show on this list
I like swype also, but I like how swift key predicts words. There are a few things I need to get used to with it, but overall I think I go faster on it. Also I hate how swype picks up incorrect spellings and continues to throw those out as what you wanted to say.

£499.95 is a lot of money so i just want to know if i'll be making the right decision.
Thanks all.
in terms of gaming performance and quality for watching movies - you won't find anything better at this time.

Trust me man this is my first samsung phone. And to be honest in the past every phone i owned i moaned about somethingvor the other. But this phone is brilliant plays my HD tv shows no problem with MX Player. Plays games really well. Overall i feel this phone was worth every penny. My brother bought one for £549 the other day after he saw me not complain once about it. Usually he hears me moan about all my phones so he was suprised haha. Anyway it is your choice and that was just my opinion. Whatever decision you make good luck mate.

I had a gnexus and had a lot of problems with it. The camera was crap, no additional storage, crappy audio on headphones.
Then I bought the SGS3 and I am very happy with it, the only minor downside is that for it to be perfect you need to root and remove the bloatware, but for me is worth it. The hardware is amazing and I love how it feels on my hand, it is very ergonomic.

Absolutely, I've have the i9300 about a month and love it. But if I was in the market today I'd pump for the quad core 2gb LTE version that is available in a couple of weeks, and thats even if I didn't planning on using LTE on it!!!!
ps I paid £430 for a 32gig i9300 so you shouldnt be paying £499, shop around.... Hell you can have mine for the right price and i'll go get the i9305 lol
i decided to go with a contract instead, it works out cheaper (i think). the phone was free with orange and it'll be £28 PM for the 16GB which is pretty good.
Does the smart stay also work when watching movies?, i hope so because the amount of times i have fallen asleep with it still playing xD.
