It has FM radio. March 21, 2011, 06:00

Galaxy S II, in official spec, has no FM radio with RDS.
http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/ht...ification.html
Reading the official spec from Samsung site above, we can see no mention to FM radio.
I have Galaxy S and I am always sad because it has no flash in the Camera.
Arena, Clove, etc. mention that Galaxy S II has FM radio; but it is not the first time that these sites mention a feature that after, officially, we discover it's not true.
It was very stupid if Samsung gives us flash but take off FM radio. I like all features in one only smartphone. We pay a lot for that.
So, I would apreciate and thank very much if someone can clarify this point for sure.
Thanks very much.
then don't.
who told you that nonsense? according to gsmarena it has radio WITH rds support http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9100_galaxy_s_ii-3621.php

I don't believe; again the same error as HTC phones. Galaxy S II, in official spec, has no FM radio with RDS.
Without FM radio I don't buy it.

yes it does.
look under multimedia broadcast.
If you look at the press announcement the specs listed are slightly different than the ones on the SGS2 site - it specifically states FM Radio with RDS. Thats official and direct from Samsung.
MHL is another one that is listed in the press release, but not the site.

That is like cutting your nose off, just to spite your face!
The problem is, too many people demand or expect their phones to be so perfect.
Things happen.... goal posts get moved but providing you still end up with something worth wanting surely that's what matters.
FM Radio on US models?
Does anyone know if the US models coming out now have the radio?
First link was preliminary march 2011 before phone was released .
jje
If it does, it doesn't include the "FM Radio" app...
Excuse me, i dont really understand the point of this topic, so you are saying that SGS2 doesnt have a FM radio in specs but it has one? i cant see it to be really much of a news, had radio app since i bought my phone.
i do have radio.

its not necessarily a marketing ploy to get more money, if anyone here has done any research or read about it they would know the x10 HD is the exact same phone as the x10 (hardware n all) it just has 2.1 (which supports hd video recording).
and obviously since the 2.1 update is supposed to come out next week they will be advertising it like crazy since its something people have been waiting for.

Exactly. I don't get what the big deal. It's just a rebranding, just like how the HTC Magic was renamed the Magic+ here in Canada by Rogers when it got its Sense UI.

If the point of marketing isn't to generate more money for your company, then what is it?
Sent from my rooted X10a using Tapatalk
Guys chill out! This should be considered great news for X10 owners, simply because if SE advertises the same X10 after the upgrade to 2.1 as a new phone. This means it will likely be upgraded to Froyo! Therefore, if it gets 2.2 you will also get 2.2 right ?
So actually this is good news, and it will be a pleasure if this device gets Froyo, because it rocks already! By the way if you don't mind me asking, where exactly did you capture this picture?
I also see it as a marketing strategy is simple you add something different to the existing product and ready .. thousands more sales.
but that comment you said you opened my eyes and you're right .. if Sonyericsson sell it as new phone is very possible that give new upgrade for the "new buyers"
Let's hope so! would be great news
sorry my bad english
Yes.. We can expect 2.2 at Q4 2024 from $€.
Good thought anyway.

This hardly matters given T-mobile's poor 3G coverage compared to practically every competing major carrier in the US.
It's sort of like the Evo/Epic 4G. Yea, 4G was nice but it's not like I'll have it anytime soon. I'm waiting for Verizon and/or AT&T to launch LTE, or maybe go back to AT&T and get an HSPA+ device. All I need is about 1.5 mbps consistent download speeds and I'm more than happy, TBQH. It's just a phone.
They should make their coverrage better.

Yawn.
Lookie who's back to threadcrapping.
OK I get the want for 4g. I dont see the point in buying a phone with close to the same specs when we have such decent phones around the corner.
Galaxy s 4g is not worth the upgrade for a 2-3 seconds faster page loads. I will hold onto my Vibrant and my soon to be HD2 until the tegra 3 arrives next year.
So i stumbled upon this, just thought I'd share it with my fellow XDA'ers!

Cool spreadsheet bro
Nicee, I say that we'll get a update by end of April. Just a gut a feeling
Nice spreadsheet you whipped up there.
Thank you for bringing this to us.
My only concern is that I do not see Epic 4G listed in that list. Yes, the Galaxy S is but as we all know, Samsung doesn't seem to consider the Epic a true Galaxy S phone (based on previous articles excepting the Epic numerous times when referring to Galaxy S). Until I see "Epic 4G", I'm assuming the only chance I'll get to see Gingerbread is through CM7.

I see Galaxy S on the back of my phone. If Samsung offers the update and Sprint declines, that is one thing. But to not develop a ROM at all? I'll be upset.
It also does not distinguish whether its CDMA or not
sorry guys, guess I should have been a little more clear.
I did not create this spreadsheet, "I stumbled upon this" through an article posted on the NBCbayarea blog (here is the link):
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Have-Android-Gingerbread-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html
and yes, you're right..this spreadhsheet does not specifically indicate "Samsung Epic 4G", we can only hope that they are generalizing all Galaxy S phones!
sorry for the confusion everyone...
if the link doesn't work just copy and paste:
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/pre...d-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html
The way it has worked in the past is that the non US version (base version GT-I9000) gets the update first. In fact that's the phone for the GB version that already leaked. It is plausible that that version could get the release later this month, but what ever the case expect at least 3 months after that before we see any official US versions.
Isn't the Nexus S 4g going to be closer hardware to the Epic than the GT-I9000? Won't that port be quicker?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Who cares.
Once we have CM7 we'll have GB.
I'd rather they spend their time fixing the modem and whatever issues remain (slower data speeds, GPS issues, etc).
GPS is a lot better than it was in DI18, but every once in a while I'll turn on GPS and fire up Google Maps and it won't get a lock. Then I have to back out of Google Maps and go back in. Annoying when you're in the car in the middle of traffic and you have to figure out why GPS isn't working.

Kudos to the dev team, but one half functioning version of GB is no more useful than the half functioning one that Samsung has yet to release.

And usually when Samsung says Galaxy S, what they mean is the GT-I9000 and not the others. You'll know they mean the rest of us when they start saying "Galaxy S devices."
Eh...their sources are random blogs across the web. Nothing definitely. Its a cool spreadsheet to look at and speculate from...but definitely not something we should bet on.

That would be the rumored new phone possibly coming to T-Mobile. A couple of tech news sites ran an article a few weeks back speculating with the exact info you see on that page. A couple of sites have the "rumored" specs and pic and are offering pre-sale. This is not confirmed by either T-Mobile or Samsung so I definitely wouldn't pre-order yet.
Another thread around here asking who's getting it is about three weeks old also.

Just read this article about the 1.29 OTA which is currently rolled out (sorry, it's in german): http://www.androidpit.de/htc-one-update-fotos
(you see before and after pictures, with after on the right)
I knew that HTC did something to the camera software, but I didn't expect the results to be THAT different, looks awesome! Like the author says, it looks like "the gray veil has been lifted"!
HTC One updated with camera enhancement suite and more in Europe
• Improvement to sound capture with Zoe
• Noise reduction in slow motion movie capture
• Improved color reproduction and dynamic range (reduced over-exposure in non-HDR images) in certain conditions
• Fix to display correct ISO in EXIF information when ISO settings are manually changed by the user
• Improved system performance and stability

I got 1.29.111.11, anyone know what the difference is or where info can be found?
The custom roms ha ve been on this version for a few days now. I can confirm there are definitely light and day improvements, I can't compare with the old version but it's definitely noticeable once you move from stock to custom roms with 1.29xxx.12
