    And how do you lock in 3g mode? They seem to have taken away the option that allows that in Android 4.0

      Guess its better than having random reboots. Lets see how long it takes them to fix this. I'm giving 2 months max.

        Anonymous, 22 Nov 2011Huh? you dont get it, do you? Your bashing the Sammy phones... moreSorry, I don't get what? And when have I bashed Samsung? I am currently using the S2 and it is the best phone I have ever had! Yep, I was just stating how Apple handles their problems for this guy:

        "Who told you that n9 is plagued with bugs eh.. Another sammy fanboy trying to defend the defects of sammy my bashing other phones

        In reply to Chillz:
        Nikotiko:
        Well that's exactly what Apple does. They defend theirselves by lying that other phones have the same defects. (the antenna problem)"

        So I guess you must've picked the wrong person, eh? Please get it right.

          You shouldnt use any electronics, if you have a problem with asian hardware. Asia is the most developed in the world when it comes to electrotechnics, but people here dont seem to know it... If you bash Asian electronics, you bash almost every electronics.

            [deleted post]The antenna is not faulty, it is because of the metallcase and Apple buildplans, which made the antenna be directly on the Metallcase... This is not the antennas fault you nut, this is a fault of the inside design of the device made by Apple.

                Samsung sucks big time , Apple still leads in terms of quality , iPhone kicks ass.

                          Why a lot of people are complaining about this volume bug? And the Iphone bugs that came in the past? The antenna bug, the batery bug and the outgoing calls in mute bug? There are many others...
                          Someday a friend of mine was about to show me something in his Iphone and then the appliance simply crash in front of me... He was brave enough to say that it was the first time that happened... Com'on!! Apple's fans simply cannot admit that other phone are doing a great job and that their "precious" isn't that awesome device it was in the past.

Do you think every bug should be ignored until it's worse than iPhone's antenna problem? And you can hardly say the article was bashing Samsung, they were just reporting a bug.

                              AnonD-9017, 22 Nov 2011oh really? Bugs and not so good hardware quality in a corea... moreI think it is funny, that so much people bash asian hardware here... Who the hell actually thinks, that like 100% of the pc are actually from europe or america? I tell you something... At least 95% of each persons computer, here on this board and elsewhere in the world, are techparts which are manufactured in Asia. You people are so dumb, talk about quality and dont know anything about it... By the way, I live in germany, not asia.

                                        Anonymous, 22 Nov 2011Samsung phones have bugs? ... I'm not surprised as they are... moreAs the report says, its a random bug. What manufacturer would write a test to check if they put a phone into gsm and then place another phone on top and try to change the volume with the secondary device.
                                        I can also assure you that testing of Samsung devices is very stringent. Nothing out there is bug free by anyone but Samsung are amongst the best hence why they are currently the biggest selling smart phone manufacturer. Also the reason why google pick them for the google phones... They build and test it thoroughly!
