Suhanoo, 23 Oct 2011Thank you for the compliment. I would also like to add a fe... more @ Suhanoo.

According to page 112 of the user manual you can connect the SGS2 to a PC in mass storage mode.

"In Idle mode, open the application list and select Settings
→ Wireless and network → USB utilities → Connect
storage to PC.
3 Select OK to confirm (if necessary).
4 Using a PC data cable, connect the multifunction jack on
your device to a PC.
5 When connected, select Connect USB storage.
6 Select OK to confirm (if necessary).
7 Open the folder to view files.
8 Copy files from the PC to the memory card.
9 When you are finished, select Disconnect storage from
PC."

All the best.

Ray

      i may add to my last post, about samsung and HTC. have a look at the forums, the users are ALWAYS asking "when will gingerspread b available for my HTC, when will Rice Scream Sandwich be available for my samsung". See, they dont want to fix the problems, they bwant the newest and they want useless apps. Even when the early version of HTC Desire Z and HD had serious problems in 2.2, the android fans didnt care, they where too busy with the rumors of Gingerspread.

      this is the android user mentality. More regular users who are not so technical often have bad meetings with android, my sister sold both her HTC and LG, they are not good enough for regular users. This is where we have to admit that iphone beats both android and symbian, iphone is really the best for most non-tech ppl who want advanced units.

        Suhanoo, 23 Oct 2011This is the difference between Nokia Fanboys & Android ... morei had android for 11 months and hate it more all the time. But Androids shortcomings doesnt make N8 a good fone. N900 has till now been the only good Nokia, and finally now N9 is available, and thats what im buying as soon as the 64GB version is in stock here again.

        Anyway, lets not blame Android for shortcomings found on some Samsung (and HTC). AS you mention with the SGS2 and mass storage, thats not a problem for android but for samsung. And the lagging and poor multitasking on HTC is caused by HTC Sense, and not by Android. Sony Ericsson Android fones actually work quite well.

        Androids native problem is that its too rough and unpolished, no manufacturer has tried to adress the bugs and problems, they are too busy shoveling out new versions and new functionality, this way Android will never be completed, it will always stay in Beta.

          This is the difference between Nokia Fanboys & Android fanboys. You'll remember I posted a comparison on S2 & N8 here. You'll note that I pulled out both pros & cons of both the phones. Nokia page still have it. And people are even thanking me for putting an unbiased review (where N8 came lower than S2 most of the time). I put the same review in S2 page & guess what, it is not there anymore. Maybe they have reported it & made it delete as I said cons about S2. I feel sorry for them. Nokia lovers are accepting the facts, but Android lovers are arogant and they even don't wanna hear anything bad about their android (maybe because they know Android can never beat Symbian). Seriously, Androids are small PDAs with calling facilities, but they can never ever become a phone. Believe me, after this post a few Android fanboys will start arguing to prove some stupidity.
          Take care.

            AnonD-27294, 22 Oct 2011hi, suhanoo u have given a unbiased comparision. Great job.... moreThank you for the compliment. I would also like to add a few more lines. People say that S2 can play any file formats for video, but it can't. I gave it .dat file, but it couldn't play. It also failed to play some other file format, I don't remember which one. One other thing, I can't connect my S2 with the PC in Mass Storage mode (it doesn't have any). But maybe I'll need to download third party software for that. But that is where my problem lies. Why would I need to download simple basic softwares? Then why do Android fanboys keep on complaining about N9's shortcomings? Please Android fanboys, answer.
            Take care.

                                N8 comes with 680Mhz Processor,12MP camera ,HDMI,16GB Storage, will later get Belle OS but not now.


                                whereas

                                701 1Ghz Processor ,8MP camera,no HDMI,8GB, slightly better battery life and Belle OS,

                                        Also, it's best to use the memory card for storing media files rather than installing apps. Use the onboard 16 GB storage for apps.
