Hi,
So I am getting the Samsung Galaxy S II from Bell tomorrow. I would like to know what i should check for right out of the box.
Example would be , I heard about some yellow or blue tint on the screen, if someone can tell specifically how to check if I have that problem and where it is.
Any other things i need to check before putting my sim card in the phone. Basically like a check list to make sure its not one of those bad apples. Thank you soo much.
I would like to know asap since I am going to buy it tomorrow.
PS: It might be a direct question but i found this to be the best place to place this thread.
PSS: I found this video when googling but i dont speak the language in the video if someone can explain what is happening I would appreciate it.
after eight posts i can post links I cant right now i will update the original post when I have 8 posts, till than the name of the youtube video is "Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 Test before buying with service menu and USB OTG test" so u can search it on youtube.)

ur USB host And Hub query should be solved by the Video I uploaded here ..
Hello All
Okay this might sound like a noob question, but will it be possible for the devs to port some of the cool S3 features like Smart Stay, and the ability to call someone from the SMS window to the S2?
I mean I just wanna ask that since the S3 kernel has now been released, are we going to see custom S2 ROMs in the future with S3 features? Because some of the cool new features are hardly dependent on the new S3 hardware. For example, Smart Stay.
Thanks,
yes why not, just wait for it
i'm waiting for this too patience is a virtue!

Actually I meant that if you have an SMS conversation open and when you put up the phone to your ear, it automatically dials the number.
Apparently you can flash the full S3 stock ROM on a S2, just search it. I assume this gives you all that functionality. And there are workarounds to get S Voice on your phone. I don't know about the other stuff.

Cite your source please.
I find this EXTREMELY hard to believe, as the S2 doesn't have the hardware to support all the features in an actual full S3 firmware.
More likely, you saw an S2 ROM that contained the TouchWiz UX port, and themed to look as close as possible to an S3.

your are wrong dear , and you may make someone hardbrick his phone if he read your post , flashing firmware of any other phone even if it was galaxy s2 but not the international version will end mostly with ahard bricked phone " you can say that apiece of plastic"

I think you misunderstood the context of his post. It appears that juzerali was agreeing with MY post, which was expressing a high amount of doubt that there exists a full s3 ROM that is flashable to an s2.

Thanks. I was indeed agreeing with your post
Well then I apologise, I'm still at a laptop, I thought a search would be able to validate what I said. Obviously I don't mean that someone should flash a ROM meant for the S3 on a S2! But thanks for the good community involvement...
There are threads about the S Voice workaround though (I'm still on phone so difficult to reference source, sorry)

no need to apologise , there are alot of people that they will not search before flashing there phones so that they may flash the s3 directly and then they will come here and say , what is the wrong with my phone
btw , s-voice is working nice in my phone , just edited tow lines in the build.prop
so that it will think my phone is 19300 and the server can't filter out my data
and i heared that , there is modifeied s-voice that will work without modifing build.prop , don;t know

Thank you
Here's what I read earlier: you can use the s3''s UX Launcher on the S2:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-touchwiz-ux-launcher-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-90791/
http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&so...4YnXDw&usg=AFQjCNG_qWkR2-JMd4jeEYwr8toM34Gs2Q
But I don't believe the UX Launcher gives you the 'cool' capabilities of the S3...or maybe it does?
Once again I apologise for reporting on the wrong thing earlier

Yes you can use the s3 launcher but sure will not give you the awesome features , just hope that we can use some software features that aren't hardware related in our beloved s2

I think its not possible, because its works due to sensor that mean by hardware... which is missing in S2...
s3 features and power

May be it is nice to port s3 features to s2 but then the power requirements may be more and your battery may not be sufficient. And most of the features of the s3 thar are not in s2 are power intensive.
Hi, does anyone know how to get rid of black borders for some videos on the S3? Even when the resolution is 1280x720 it is still there, or does aspect ratio have anything to do with it? Any help will be great
wanna ask the same
any one that can help pls

Seems like no one knows over here, still trying to figure it out. I think it could have something to do with the way the video is formatted itself when made. But will report back it I ever find anything on this
First of all : I'm noob here, so dont blame/ abuse me. I'm still learning here.
Hi dude, I'm having a S3 GT-i9300.
I've done with several flashing, like flasing CWM, and flashing some ROM (with CWM) on my other phone. Galaxy Mini S5570
I've looked for infos about a ROM that looks like iPhone, but it screwed my mind. I can't find the fittest.
So for instance, does anybody here know where I can find some ROM/ theme/ anything else to make my S3 GT-i9300 looks like an iPhone?
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely, TheMD5

sell ur s3,buy an iPhone 4s ☺
S3?
Uhhh okay
There's tons of apps on the Play Store that mimic iOS 6 or iOS 7 apps. This inclues things like the launcher, lockscreen and some system apps such as Messaging. Searching on the PlayStore will get you somewhere
Hahaha mine is a legion dude.

Actually I've tried few apps on the P.S. but it doesn't satisfy me. What I mean here is a ROM/ Frameworks. Sorry if I'm demanding too much.
Check Miui ROM or some CM11 themes (ios like). Also there is one xposed module with 'ios' in name Some custom launcher and maybe custom lockscreen (in gplay) and you are almost having iphone xd
