Hey people I come to you with a question, not so much about the SGS2 but I am stuggling and I am an owner and Don't know where else to go.
My question is Ports and Connectors (general Computer hardware)
are they the same? what is the difference etc if they are different?
I am sorry to ask this here but you are the smartest people I know and I could not find the answers on our good friend Google.
thanks
First off, this shouldn't be in a phone forum - it's not a phone question.
Anyway, can you give us some more information, to put it in context?
Ports and connectors can be so many different things.

Hallo everyone!
First of all - I got myself a smartphone just yesterday for the first time ever, so yes.. I'm even less than a Noob.. you can call me noob^2..
Second: i searched the forum but I did not find a similar topic. Either there is no similar thread yet, or I don't know how to use the Forum search engine properly.. If so, please excuse!
I have a SGS2 i9100 (not G) and android 4.0.3. Not rooted (don't know yet how to so..)
I would like to replace my ipod with the SGS2, but the soundquality is very poor. I would like do connect the phone to an usb DAC (fiio E7 for example), but i read that it is not possible to bypass the internal crap yamaha-DSP. So is there any possibility, hack, or whatever, to send the pure, unprocessed mp3 data to the DAC via USB OTG??
Thank you a LOT!
Not currently possible with the SGS2 & highly unlikely to ever be. Devs who have been asked to have a look at it have all gone 'Nup' because of Samsung's proprietary/closed source drivers & so on. To give you an idea of what devs are up against/why nobody will tackle this, read this post.
Only way it will ever happen is if you code it yourself, or a dev with a lot of time on their hands (there aren't really any of these; the development they do now is done in their spare time & on top of the jobs they have) who actually wants to use this themselves.
Don't ditch your iPod.

Well, that's a pitty!
I read somewhere that android 4.1. (Jelly Bean) supports that USB audio out capability. Is that true, and does that mean, that if I could install jelly bean on the s2, I could use usb audio?
Another, probably stupid, question. Is it possible to install the 'not touchwized' - original - version of android on the s2? Would that make usb audio work, or is it a matter of hardware and drivers??
Thak you for your reply!
Hardware & drivers. Won't work no matter what. Unless a dev makes it work as I said in my previous post.
So right now, no one is trying to make the s2 work..? Would donate if someone succeeds..!
What about the Galaxy nexus phone and about the Galaxy s3? Do these phones support usb audio, even though they are from samsung?
1) No, offering money won't make any difference. There have been threads made in General where people have pledged differing amounts of money; in one thread I offered $20, all up maybe 6-7 people pledged money totaling around $150 to get it working. No devs took up the offer. Seriously, this is something that is very difficult & time consuming to get working, it's not simple like some people seem to think. It just isn't going to happen. Money isn't the issue, the issue is time and/or a desire on the part of a dev to use this feature themselves. No dev so far has had either of those nor a desire to get this working.
The fact it doesn't work on stock roms should tell you something.
2) You're asking in the wrong place, ask in the forums for those phones.

I wanted a change in design,style,performance,look,clarity,size..so I went for this from http://dx.com/p/samsung-galaxy-note...capacitive-and-gps-white-16-gb-122846?item=12 .No model to beat this right now.May think little expensive but it worth for the price.What I want with a Smart tablet is available with this. I think it is advisable to avoiding spend more when this is available compared to other models.
Is there no issue in upgrading to android 4.1? Pls help as i am planning to upgrade my unit. I had issues on upgrading with my old S1. The USB connectivity was disabled. Anyone can share answer with my question? Thanks much.
I love my Samsung Note! I honestly couldn't live without it.

Ive just ordered a smart dock for my S3 so that I can use it with my TV, wireless air mouse, hard drive and wireless xbox controller.
Now the final thing I want to do is run XBMC for PVR software, but cannot find a definitive answer about a tuner that will work with my S3.
Im a new user so I cant link to the one I have but its ebay item number 200828623654. Its made for an android powered smart box but will it work with the s3 aswell.
Or does anyone know of any that will work.
Cheers
Rich
Have I done something wrong in my post or is it just that nobody knows the answer?
All I can find through loads of google searches are a couple of expensive tuners that only work with their own inbuilt mini aerials and others that will connect to an outdoor aerial via a coax cable but they are made for specific android smart tv boxes.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.

Im happy if a mod thinks its appropriate to be moved to accessories.
I am aware it is a developers forum and I was at no point demanding anyone "f***g fix my phone". The use of TV tuners with the Galaxy S3 would be a development of the phone as it is not something that it was initially designed to do and would allow people to make better use of their devices.
I was just making sure that I had not done anything wrong in the way I had posted my question and to make it clear that I had searched around for an answer already for a couple of days myself as I know people get annoyed when noobs post questions without bothering to look for themselves.
Thanks

Hi there,
My S2 have not been working properly. It won't charge at all. It goes from charging to not charging all the time, so I'm guessing the port is bad. I've decided to change the flex cable which includes a new charging port.
But... There is a couple of different flex cables out there. All for Galaxy S2, but some for "rev 2.2" and some for rev "2.3" etc. So.. my question is:
How do I found out what "rev" my phone is?
Thanks in advance
This has been covered a few times recently. Go thru KeithRoss39's posts, he's the resident expert on this particular matter.

What does "rev" stand for? Searching for "rev" didn't gave me the answers I wanted when using the search box. It doesn't hurt to get it covered again.. It's a forum..
I gave you the means to answer your questions. He has specifically spoken about this in detail (which rev belongs to which SGS2 variant, etc) several times over the past two weeks. He is not a heavy poster here. There aren't many threads you'd need to look at. I'm not about to do that searching for you and/or regurgitate this stuff when it's been done so many times before because you're too lazy to take a brief amount of time to find the answer.
'It doesn't hurt to get it covered again' - Yes it is a forum, and it's a forum where we encourage people to help themselves & learn, we point people in the direction of what they're wanting to know, and we encourage them to go learn it.
I'm putting you on ignore, because I'm just not interested in your response to this post given the tone of your last one & your obvious sense of entitlement, so knock yourself out abusing me in your reply to this, I don't care & won't be reading it.
All you do is look at the fffffffin rev number on your one and order that.
And this is a forum....so dont be a sanctimonious mouthy noob.
Rev:
Revolution
Revision
Reverend
Reverse
Maybe its no.3,who knows or cares.
