[DiscoBort]

I'm about to buy this phone and look forward to its speed but at 0.56 there is a good pause before it takes you back to the home screen. is this the worst it gets (obviously its not that bad) or at times is it worse? people talk it up as instantaneous so that's why i ask.

[samjpullen]

@DiscoBort It has been fixed in new updates :)

hey! how do you merge contacts on the Samsung G s2? I have a few contacts who are the same person but don't want the to show up separately?

[verweirde]

@kevinozero my phone is in dutch so terms might be different, but you just click on a contact, than you can find 'connected contacts' (=litteral translation, but next to it and that should be the same, there is an arrow pointing upward with two 'legs') you just click that again, on the bottom you can click 'add/connect other contact'

[MrAlsharis]

how can i add the emails of my friends in the contacts, but i have alot so can i do it on the computer. or can i sync my phone with my email so that all my contacts will have emails?

[Spamazoid]

Is it possible to add multiple phone numbers per contact like you can with Iphones.

Contact list seems very limited on the SGS2. can add one number plus an email address and nickname and a very short name for the list.,

I dunno maybe it's just me but how many people only have 1 phone number :P

Yes i know some people do only have mobile and nothing else but they are the minority still

[ebeygin]

@Spamazoid Are you a retard? did you ever hold an android phone?

[Spamazoid]

@ebeygin fuck you, i asked a question, i was new to Android phones.

and my answer is by default you can't you have to add additional apps to add to the contact list

Fuck Tard

[jamthoyoung]

[mreynolds7]

Hi Sam. Great Videos. Jusy got this phone (sSamsung Galaxy S2) and love it! Quick question though - do you know how to show 'company' and search by 'company' in contacts? I use it for business ans have many people filed by both name and company name. Many thanks. Mark
