Ridiculous battery claims. I've played with the device first hand and you won't get those "18 h 20 min" even if you are plugged in.

            I've been wishing to have this phone and last week I succeeded. l noticed that it browses faster with opera mini. So, guys, can anybody tell me if it's possible to use opera mini as the default browser, and how can it be done?

              Just now, I noticed a sparkling thing on the corner of the home key of my SGS2.
              I tried to remove it but it will not move.

              Since my eyes are not 20-20 vision, I use a magnifying glass to check and to my surprise it is something like a plastic coating on the button.

              What should I do? Shall I remove it?
              What will happen if I remove it?

                To test your S2 screen, yellow tint problem, visit this page http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/ and if you can not clearly see the yellow tint on the left side of your screen then your screen is ok!

                    on wisepilot, if you don't pay for traffic, do you still get the speed camera alert?

                      (I am not sure what you mean, but if you mean the S2 "Menu" "Home" and "Back" buttons then in settings, under Display, you can choose if you want "Menu" and "Back" to be always visible or never visible or visible for a few seconds or only when it is dark, I have choosen to have them never visible to save battery.)

                          this keyboard test that you mentioned, is it at landscape mode or portrait mode?

                          what colour should I be looking for, and where exactly? on the alphabets ?

                          I can't see any differences, but then again may be I am not looking at the right place for it!!

                              If you look at GS2 picture on your left hand side of this page, at the bottom of the phone there are three buttons, center button, and left and right buttons.

                              On mine I can only see the center button, the WHITE back arrow (right) and the left one, are not clear, however as I touch them they function fine as they should, and everything is normal, but I can not visually see them!!! but they are there, if you know what I mean! (its just black)

                              is this the same on yours?

                              please let me know

I am in Sweden.

                                    And that Grey problem is present in almost all the GSII's. Anyone claiming that they don't have it doesn't prove it, in fact I myself wouldn't see it unless I saw the thread in XDA.
                                    Just check that XDA thread, you will see NOT a single user is having a perfect screen, either it's Bluish, either it's too dim, or the Blacks ain't pitch black etc etc..
                                    But yes, this problem shouldn't be there at the first place, while given the premium class of this handset with the price it is NOT acceptable. Samsung didn't come up with anything regarding this issue, that's why I hate Sammy, they never come up with anything thinking that we are stupid. You may not level with me in this but that's the fact dude.
