Ok here is the deal , my phone got hardbricked by this stupid 4.0.4 thing , so i gave to samsung and i was out of warranty , after 3 days they called me and told me it will cost about half of the phone to replace the motherboard
Now what should i do , get a new gs2 or get my old made in korea samsung repaired
Or just wait for the gs3 to get cheaper then buy it
Sucks man. How much is the repair? Maybe get a Galaxy Nexus. They are pretty cheap now and you will get the latest updates fast, no more rooting BS. I'm thinking of trading my S2 for the nexus. Brickbug has scared me too much

If you know what you are doing or can even read, then the brick bug can never affect you.
And even if you have galaxy nexus, you will still eventually root the device.
Unmodified Aosp ICS Android build has it's own obvious limitations too.

Motherboard is the most expensive part of almost any electronic device.
Getting it via official source will even be more expensive.
My advise:
1. Change your motherboard via unofficial route. It's will be cheaper
2. Buy used Galaxy SII or nexus while you wait for the price of galaxy Siii to drop significantly.

As you may be aware, the Galaxy S2 Plus is coming to the MWC. Currently the price for the standard S2 is US$579. Do you think that the S2 Plus will cost more than US$579? Or do you think that the standard S2 will decrease its price to something like US$499 while the S2 Plus will be sold at US$579?
Im interested in buying a S2, should I wait until MWC? Do you think that after the MWC the standard S2 will cost US$499?

And where the fu** did you get the info about Galaxy S2 Plus? I'm really wondering how the rest of the world didn't find out yet.

I wouldn't question them mate... either they have too much stock of the alpha or it's a mistake!
Either way, bite their hand off!
please don't ask questions here
Hi all,
I have a samsung galaxy ace-i, which i've been using for quite a while now.
Its unlocked to any network, and has got a custom rom on it. There are no scratches.
I've looked online, to see how much others are selling it, but there are no people selling the ace-i (only the ace, ace II, and Ace III).
How much would you say I can sell the phone for? Got the original box, but not the charger and headphones?
Thanks

yes, better to keep it as a backup phone instead of selling it for nothing.
or maybe you can give it to family or friend

So I live in India and a person is making an offer of 3.5k for his old and used galaxy s2.
Non-rooted.
So is it worth it or I can go with something low.

There are vendors selling the phone as new. Is the phone still being manufactored? Can you tell how old a phone is, not relying on pieces of information from a seller?

No the phone isn't being manufactured anymore.
The phone the seller is selling may be new, but it was stored for a long time and wasn't used before.
