Please keep us informed about it. I'd like to know how it performs.
And Congrats in advance.

I know about screen usage etc... even killed all app but did not helped, I just restarted it and it fixed it on its own today even after 12 hrs with 3g and wifi on all the time I still have almost 75% charge

Found out something about flashed/rooted phones vs warranty

Ok so I found these out from some service center reps:

A Mumbai center: If you flash your phone, even if it is an official Samsung ROM through ODIN this is what will happen: Your warranty will not be void, but you will have to pay Rs. 650 as service charges for them to repair your phone.

A Bangalore center: Sir what is root? No sir we only check for warranty by checking IMEI number and bill.

A Coimbatore Service Center: Flashing? Yes yes I know it. No it will not cancel your warranty. Rooting? What is that? Navigation? We only check for warranty by seeing the bill.

Called up the 30308282 number: Hi. What? What is root? What is flash? Camera? Ok our technical department will call you back. Just to confirm, you are Mr. Xxx Xxxx, mobile number is ######, and your house address is blah blah?
Me says: HUH? How do you have all this? Do you know how old I am too?
He says: I don’t know sir, it’s just here. Anyway, our technical team will call you today.

Can anyone share their experiences if any, of giving in a rooted/flashed phone for warranty?

Mine too has it twice. I guess that happens on my phone when I'm on roaming.

Yes. But 2 GB is huge amount. Many other phones have only 512 MB or 256 MB. So with SGS2, one need not bother too much to move apps to SD either. It just works.

Because of low post count, I can't post links yet. See vodafone.in/documents/pdfs/samsung_galaxy_sII_tnc.pdf



Yes. From what I know, the catch is that if you exceed 1 GB, you will be billed @ Rs. 1 per MB. So we have to install some data usage monitoring app and ensure that we don't exceed 1 GB if we don't want to get billed.

Recently when I have checked my 3G usage, it gives me message that beyond free usage I will be charged only 2p/10kb. Way to go Voda....

Thanks for the info, Srikat. I will certainly go to a Vodafone outlet to activate it on my phone if there is no catch. The catch might be point #3 in the TnC which says : "The Offers shall be made available only against usage of Vodafone Live! & Vodafone Mobile Connect services" .....Any idea what these services are? Is it some specific plan? Or you can avail this offer irrespective of the calling plan you are in?

No idea about Vodafone Live! and Mobile Connect Services. I don't know whether they were/are active on my postpaid plan.

Regarding 3G, after I got the SMS that it has been activated it did not start working out of the box. I called up the customer care and had to enter few values.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names.

2. The first entry in the list there was something like vodafone_gprs by default for me. Tap on it. Change the name to say "Vodafone live" (this is just a label and can be anything)

3. APN = portalnmms

4. Proxy = 10.10.1.100

5. Port: 9401

6. MCC = 404, MNC = 86, APN type = Internet (I think these values are the default ones, don't remember whether I changed these are they were already like that)

No need to change other values.

7. Note: 3G started working w/o me having to do this step in my case. I am not sure if this is necessary but the phone rep said something like this:

Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Search networks. If Airtel (yes, Airtel!) comes up in the list, select it. Otherwise, select the first occurrence of Vodafone.

You will know that 3G is working when you see H or 3G characters (for me, it's H all the time) with up and down arrows in the status bar at top.

What is wrong with the audio quality? Is it low during calls? Does your voice echo?
