Got a new Galaxy S2 from Orange as a replacement for my old one (Charging fault), she said all the old ones had the problem and I had to wait for a replacement.
So, got the new one today and it didn't have a battery with it just the phone in a plain box, so wondering if its been manufactured very recently or something.. anybody know how to find the date of manufacture?

Hey, im waiting for this cellphone but ive searched around the net and found nothing about portugal release date or even what version of the phone will release :S
Could anyone help me with some info regarding which phone version hits portugal and possibly when? also, will it pack a soled+ or a crappy standard lcd?
thanks in advance!
Being part of Europa I imagine you get Exynos & Super AMOLED Plus.
Cant you just order from UK?

Well, i would like to buy it from a local store here instead, if something is wrong with it i could easelly trade but a shipment from uk will prolly take a few weeks to arrive and then to send it back will be a pain.
A friend of mine had his Galaxy S2 serviced since he had issues with his WIFI module, samsung issued a replacement motherboard for him and now the technician says that the replacement motherboards cannot upgrade to ICS because of several issues and lost features, Is there any truth to this ?
Well it it was changed to i9100G, and few weeks back that was true. Not anymore.
I think all the variants are on same page now.
So its possible that he got a I9100G motherboard as a replacement instead of a I9100 Exynos ?
That's the only thing come to my mind...
Both official galaxy s2 by Samsung.
But both are on ics now.
What's the firmware *#1234#

My Galaxy 10.1 tab has suffered from the 'newton ring' screen defect for a while now (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130230 if you don't have long memories) but it wasn't too bad so I never got around to getting it fixed. Anyway, I had to take my phone into a Samsung service centre recently so I thought I'd get the tab done at the same time.
It's still within 2 years from purchase, but was bought in the USA so I was kinda expecting the warranty question to get raised. Nope, they took it fine, HOWEVER they now say that they can't repair it at all as they can't get the appropriate parts because the USA and UK models have different screens and they can't put a UK part into a US model. After a bit of further questioning they also said "and the software is different too", which is quite true but completely irrelevant to a pure hardware defect (and a known one at that).
Before I go and pick it up, could one of the experts here tell me if the physical screen and/or digitiser are any different between the original USA Galaxy TAB 10.1 (Wi-Fi only) and the original UK variant? I thought they were all made with the same generic parts in the same factories? Any part numbers or reference sources would be very helpful too. Thanks!

I have a UK tablet and i've never heard about different components lol.. I don't think there's a difference between the tabs, it's not that we have a different ROM that we also have different components, i came from android 2.3 UK and running cm10.1 now with a US bootloader on a UK device, problems, samsung?
Anyway,, i never suffered from those newton rings, i remember the link you posted, but i will not laugh too loud my tab is 1 year and 1 month old now
Thanks, that's very much my opinion too from everything I've ever read about this defect, the screen and digitiser are common components between the US and UK models.
If anyone can give me any more info or hard facts (e.g. do Samsung USA and Samsung UK have a spare parts website where I can compare part numbers?) that would help before I go back into the service centre around noon today. Thanks!

Hi Friends:
My Samsung galaxy S2 has encountered a problem and in all likehood i will have to get the motherboard replaced.
It has been with be since June 2011 and its pretty old now, also I'm not sure how it will perform or how much life
has it left.
Hence I'm planning to buy Galaxy S4 instead, it is around INR 29K.
If any one of you have had a similar problem and got the motherboard replaced please share your thoughts.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Siddharth
In need of a new battery for the Padfone X. Does anyone know where to get one? At&t doesn't have any and can't get them, Asus refuses to replace the battery because it's the phone part and it was bought through at&t. Can't find anything in the US, and waiting 5+ weeks from a shipment from China isn't really an option.
