Some used fine sand paper, I used a kitchen scouring pad.

*argh* take em away, i dont wanna see this :p had to spend 200 euro for something else (had no choice :( ) and now i can ditch my idea to get me the sgs2 for this month. i decided to wait till xmas and hope the htc rezound makes it to europe ... oh well ...

Smartphones market is currently fast moving indeed :p The S2 will remain the flagmost powerful phone out until Feb time when we catch wind of the S3 so I say go for it if you can, there's nothing to lose :p

We also get Ice Cream Sandwich officially around then too from Samsung.

Got my SGS2 last Friday, I've already rooted it and installed MIUI on it, :D It's so fast and slick, loving the phone so much. Scoring ~ 5,400 - 5,700 in Quadrant too! :D

Been using LightningRom for the past two months but it's a bummer LitePro stopped development. Haven't really had much time to mess around with other roms.

Which MIUI did you flash?

There is a project somebody took up after Lite'ning ROM didn't go anywhere. It's been updated to 2.3.5 with a few tweeks :) :

You might want to look into Checkrom as well. It's highly supported and when combo'd with the kitchen app included it's a breeze to use. No needing to worry about incompatibilities as the devs upload themes, mods, kernels etc all ready to apply.

Yeah, this was one of the Roms that I was looking at the other day. It obviously has quite of bit of customizability, so I will have to have some patience to properly configure it. Got exams coming in a couple of weeks.

Definitely want to give this a try, especially now that there is a really awesome ICS theming port floating around.

Nokia's stock stand really, off my old 5800.

I don't know if anyone has noticed this with the MHL cable and compatible TV sets but tonight I took a movie round to a cousin's house to watch and when connected to the Sony Bravia HDTV the source input labelled up as a new device "MHL: HDMI Control".

Curious, I wondered why it would be labelled as such and as a new input source if it wasn't able to be controlled from the TV remote so I fired up the film and indeed, you could control the media playback from the TV remote playback buttons!

I knew the TV wasn't native MHL as the display only worked when the external power was also connected to the official MHL/HDMI adapter but the TV supported some MHL features it appears....

The cursor buttons on the remote also work and navigate around Android. Pressing the centre button activated the onscreen select outline and you could then cursor around the phone. I tried various buttons but only the back, cursor, centre and playback controls seemed to work without issue. Other TV sets that recognise MHL devices might offer other features too so those with HDTV sets and the MHL cable should see what features they have available.

It's brilliant news as it means no more getting up out of my seat to reach for the phone to rewind/pause or play the next video etc.

Samsung Galaxy SII seem to have a voice problem where the caller can hear himself/herself talking. I went to AT&T to get one for my GF and I could hear myself talking everytime I called her. We exchanged it for another Galaxy SII and still the same problem. Even the people at the AT&T store could hear themselves talking. They replaced the SIM card, turned off Noise Supression and nothing so they ended up giving us a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket and that one worked fine and it is working fine so far.

Maybe they had a bad batch of Galaxy S2s? I don't know.

Hmm. Quite a few of my mates/relatives have the phone and they never raised this problem. Maybe a firmware issue?

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
