I've had an SGS2 for 2 months now and I've picked up new tips here, so thanks for the run-through of this phone. What I found interesting is that you revealed a stop watch from the bundled Clock app, so I don't have to download it as 3rd party. The only question I have is how do you get the Active Apps widget? I can't find it under Android or Orange widgets. One tip I can show you for the calculator though, is that when you turn the phone to landscape, it will change from basic to scientific :-)
Thanks for this,you've covered features I hadn't found elsewhere.Nicely done! A couple of questions though if you will:
1- With the turn over function; if u turn the phone over so that it stops ringing but don't turn it back up,will the alarm still go off?
2- With IM notifications, more specifically on yahoo messenger (if u use that at all), are they loud enough/do they vibrate if screen is off and/or if the phone is in your pocket?
3- Will IMs stay connected even after some time of inactivity?
@JB3PAC I've long-clicked the homescreen for the widgets pop-up menu, looked under Android widgets and Orange widgets and can't I find Program Monitor. Maybe it's my Android version? (2.3.3)
how to change the front orange color when you want to turn on the phone. You have to remove the first page how can change that? Please help! Nice video.
@iphonehacker333 sorry the correct order should be; press on the menu button, go for Add, flip thru the option till you find program monitor, tap & tap again to confirm your selection.
nice review ... but one suggestion ... PREPARE YOUR DEVICE before doing this . .. "i dont have any pics , i dont have any videos .... i dont have any music ... nothing :X " but i will show you the video app ... it plays xvid ... ok lets go to another app :X WTF ?
@Videogameguy221 terrible terrible joke... especially when its actually named the apple even named it the iphone 4s. Meaning yes, they meant it to be iphone 4.5.
how to disable screensaver in samsung galaxy s2 as the light is always on and drains battery...and also how to set up lock on phone as in HTC and SONY,,,PLEASE LET ME KNOW
youve got a great commentary style! im seeing what the android ui is like (it seems like its uglier than IOS, but im taking a look anyways) and i came across this. joy to watch :P
Hello=) Just got the phone..Can someone tell me how u get that "Active applications" Thats shows active apps?...(Time on screen 00.53)...Hope someone can help me:)
I will get my Samsung Galaxy S II WHITE at Tuesday. After I seen this video I want it even more! I've have been using Iphone since the 3G came out and now I it feels like i've wasted all this years.....
Just wondering if this guy knows that if you put the calculator in landscape it actually becomes a scientific calculator. He described the calculator as basic that's all
hey i just got my new samsung galaxy s2 and when i got it first of all the homescreen is number 4 not 1 how to i make it no.1 and 2 how do you get the active apps thing in your homepage
great video. I thought I was an "iPhone" girl but I have to say that I loooooove my Galaxy S2 (just bought it 3 days ago). I still get my Apple "fix" with my iPad and iPhone. I like the flexibility that the Android system provides ie. ring tones etc.I think I'm in love :)
@raulfervaz i've had my Galaxy SII for a few mths now, it's never switched off even when charging and i can honestly say it doesn't get hot...Wifi is outstanding depending on the strength of the wifi signal you're using obviously
Regarding the Program monitor widget ( active applications), i am facing a aproblem which is , when i open an application and close it, the widget shows (1) active application but when i enter the widget, nothing in there and when press back it becomes (0)...!!!!!
Does this happen to u as well????cos it is very annoying
mostly, happening with ( accua weather which is per-installed by Samsung & internet )....
How can you get the "active application" - screen and how can I make the weather-platform smaller like you did on the second home screen (normally it's bigger)? I got the phone this week and it's completely new for me, so it would be very nice from you if you could tell me. Thanks
u didn't show us the email app! I am tempted to get this phone but I need to know whether I am able to add multiple gmail accounts, my hotmail account, etc.
I think direct wifi is a great option. Instead of using the bluetooth or sending it over mms, its really fast and direct. If you have another phone that supports it, basically its sending over wifi 802.11 n.
You sounds sweet....:)
