Hi there, another new owner here. This thread has been a great resource, and in the end was what convinced me to go for the S2. I've managed to upgrade to k7 via Odin as helpfully shown earlier on in the thread, but I'm still having one problem - my WiFi keeps dropping out after about 5 minutes! Otherwise everything would be perfect. It connects fine, and still shows as connected, but fails to find websites or continue downloads at about that point until I switch off wifi and turn it on again via the notification bar/top thingee. I don't really know my way around the phone's innards as yet, and using Odin is the only change I've made to it (the problem occurred beforehand as well). Are there any things I can try - or is this likely to be something that could be fixed with firmware later? Cheers for any advice -Sam

The wifi issue is one I've had since day one. A month on and there's no fix for it yet. I don't even know why it does it. And yes, my wifi is set to stay on the while time. Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 Ingress: Enlightened

Just for future reference, I've ordered a force download mode USB jig for my SGS2 which is (naturally) compatible with the SGS, so if anyone ever needs one in the South Island, it's theirs for the asking. . . I figure if we have some scattered strategically around the country then we can all get to one quick-smart. And no, I don't plan on bricking my phone. . . . but seeing the soft-brick screen for the first time over the weekend got me thinking. . . . Life is mostly froth and bubble, two things stand like stone - kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own. SGSIII ROM: WanamLite v1.3 Kernel: Ninphetamine v1.1.0 Modem: DXLEA SGSII (Now belongs to SWMBO) ROM: WanamLite v12 Kernel: Siyah v3.3.2 Modem: BVLPB SGS (Cat's chew toy) If you need a download-mode jig ASAP, you're welcome to borrow mine! Works with SGS I/II/III. I also have a SIM cutter available (Dunedin) - happy to post either to you at your cost.

Same goes for anyone needing one in the lower North Island/Manawatu. Mine should be here within the next few days.

Yup, Riptide working perfectly for me! Got my official Samsung MHL adapter today - anyone else got theirs? Not had a chance to test it, but I expect it works the same as my prototype one... Twitter: @nztechfreak Blogs: AndroidNZ.net

Certainly not - but I have a case for one, and a jig on order (sounds like we got one from the same place).

kiwitrc: Nofam and JINX, thanks for the heads up on the Jig. Hopefully wont ever need it. Mine's now here (no more yellow triangle for me!) and is available to anyone wanting to use it. I only ask that it be returned to me in a reasonable time frame. If you need it PM me your address details and I'll send it out.
