    how is the S Pen compared to using a stylus on an iPad?

    i've seen some comments on the Verge review ("a revelation. It’s very much the difference between a fine-tip pencil and a gigantic permanent marker") but not detailed comparison about how, for example, it is to annotate PDFs using one of the PDF annotation apps on the iPad vs. the 10.1...

    Help is there a way to get the new (now old KE7) firmware via a Mac?

    My only computer is a Mac and I've got baseband KE4. I believe the latest is KE7 and I'm wondering if there is a way to get it? My understanding is that unless you root (which I don't believe is possible with a Mac) you can only get firmware updates via Kies? Thanks.

    Help Why don't .avi files play well on the SGS2?

    I've read that everyone is using the stock or Dice video player and not needing to convert videos to play on the SGS2. The .avi files I've transfered from my Mac to my SGS2, which looked perfect on the Mac, have also sorts of bit distortion effects and are unwatchable on the SGS2. Any...

    Help (WTF!) SGS2 Runs out of battery while streaming video via the Samsung MHL-HDMI??

    This is a serious hit: the SGS2 doesn't recharge fast enough to compensate for the battery drain when I play video via the MHL-HDMI cable to my TV, even though the MHL-HDMI cable requires that the power adapter be plugged into it while in use. I assume this is happening because (stupidly) the...

    Just ordered MHL-HDMI cable from Play.com - hope it works with my AV receiver

    Also hoping it doesn't take the 1-2 weeks. I'm looking for a way to play both Spotify from my SGS2 through my Onkyo AV receiver to my speakers, as well as just play videos from my SGS2 through the Onkyo so that I can watch things like charlierose.com on my TV. Should this work? Anyone...

    Looking primarily to play music (Spotify) from my SGS2 to my Onkyo receiver, which has the following input options: HDMI 1.4, optical, and RCA. I'm trying to keep cost down, so should I just get a 3.5mm to RCA cable, or is there a way to connect the SGS2 to one of the HDMI inputs so that I...

    Anyone switch from the Nexus S to Samsung GS2? Tips on making a smooth transition?

    My Nexus S was stolen yesterday, so I'm consoling my loss with an SGS2 upgrade. Has anyone made this switch? Tips/suggestions for making it go smoothly? I've noticed, for example, that all my old Nexus S apps have not re-synced to the GS2. Thanks.

    Nexus S was stolen, just picked up GS2. Any guides on how transition quickly?

    Wasn't planning on upgrading this soon, but given my Nexus S got nicked (at an IKEA of all places) I'll try to stay positive about getting a GS2! I was very happy with 2.3.4 and basic Android, so much so that I almost hesitated on not getting the GS2, but that seemed like a wasted given the...

    My Nexus was stolen. Prey was installed, but no remote wipe software. Suggestions?

    In terms of security, I had draw unlock feature and Prey installed. I can see a rough location of where the thief took the phone, but I don't know the exact address. Without an exact address the UK police won't go investigate. If only I had left the GPS turned on for a more precise signal...

    Anyone else having a problem with Google Map Live Wallpaper?

    One piece of bad news for 2.3.4 -- the update has done nothing to fix the problem with the Google Maps live wallpaper where a grey bar appears across the top and I can no longer get a closeup of my location (just a view of the world's map). Anyone else experiencing this?

    Help Is there a way to disable low battery noise without rooting?

    When I've got my earbuds on the sound of the 15% low battery noise is jarring. From the other forum, looks like rooting can accomplish this. Haven't rooted yet, would prefer to not have to (unless I'm missing out on something by not rooting). Battery notification sound - Android Forums Thanks.
