Anyone interested in a Zenis dock for the Galaxy S II? Bought it for a frd but he uses the case with a kickstand and its too thick for the dock lol.
One of the highlights of this charging dock though is you can charge with a case on. I'm using a pleomax case and this fits just right for me. The SGP cases work too.

Asking cost $27..pm if interested..imma gonna post in buy n sell section if no takers by monday lol

^^ Pics of dock?

Soo tempted to get the sgp glas
Going to the night market tonight to pick up a temp case and protector.
Hopefully the guy who sold me the shitty gevey sim will let me exchange it for a case and protector

correction is zenis dock..there's also a little piece you can put into the slot if you want to charge the phone with no case on..so that it fits perfectly as well..not shown in video though

Anyone know how to check data usage on the S2 or program that can monitor how much data is being used on my phone?

willystyle 08-15-2011 12:07 AM

Hows the real world usage on the S2? in terms of having decent brightness on, background data, auto-sync, 3G and a few programs running in the background? Will it last a day?

Try "My data manager" i find it better than 3g watchdog. Since it tell you which app is using data and how much each app is using. For example if you have unlimited social networking like facebook. It'll show you how much data that FB app is using.

Easily. I leave my brightness on auto, background data on, 3G and at the end of the day I usually have around 40% left

I've found my first glitch. It's within the AccuWeather widget. This is by far, the best weather widget I've had. However, after having this phone for a month without any problems, I have now experienced the numbers on this widget cutting off...

No matter what number it is, it cuts the top of the numbers. I've gotten rid of the widget and I've closed it and re-added it...Same problem. Any one else experience this?

parm104 08-15-2011 09:34 PM

Do we still retain the orignal widgets after flashing new roms? ie: AccuWeather weather widgets, AP News, Agenda...

Follow this for root, [08.08.2011][CF-Root v4.1] KE2/7/8, KF1/2/3/4, KG1/2/3/5/6/7 - su+bb+CWM4 - xda-developers

Then you can install any rom you want. I've rooted but I'm personally waiting for a more stable Cyanogenmod build to come out before I'll flash to it.

you say you work in a warehouse does your phone loose signal at anytime? the harder it tries to find a signal the more battery it wastes ....I remember when I worked at the airport my phone would drain so fast as it was looking to try to find a signal

I do about the same and get the full day....I leave my house at 7am and get home at 11pm or so and normally have the phone at 25% battery life left...


I did a test on Saturday to test battery life when using 3G data and streaming BBC news for 4 hours I had 19% battery life left (which i think was pretty good)....I also used 1.23GB of data :)

Yeah that sounds about right. Usually around 12 o'clock when I'm getting into bed I have about that, but thats rare. Usually I have over 30% left.

And yes, if your phone is struggling to find signal you'll lose battery life alot faster

!Yaminashi 08-16-2011 09:51 AM

They're not, rogers gets the infuse 4G and the HTC Evo 3D

jmvdesign 08-16-2011 10:03 AM

Any thoughts on the Samsung Hercules coming out on Telus? It's basically the bigger screen 4.5" Infuse 4G with SGSII specs.

If $$ was no matter I'd buy the phone outright and unlock to use it on Rogers.... which is what I did.

I think 4.5" is too big. You should find a place with the Rogers Infuse on demo to see if that size is ok for you first.
