Samsung Galaxy S II Unveiled

-
In-line with the launch of their HSDPA+ network, Globe also introduced the much anticipated Samsung Galaxy S2(GT-I9100).
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is the first 4G phone here in the Philippines and will be available under Globe My Supersurf Plan 3799 starting June 27, 2011.  Prepaid subscriber can also get it Php29,990.00.

Galaxy S2 sports a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor on a 4.3" vivid Super Amoled screen, only 8.49mm thin, and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.  With the super fast wireless standard HSPA+, it offers download speed of 21Mbps but since it will be running Globe 4G network then it can only get up to 10Mbps network, a waste for such a great device if I may say.  

Other features.

Wi-Fi Direct - Transmit without wires. The Samsung GALAXY S II point-to-point Wi-Fi communications connect with device-to-device wireless transfer speeds of Wi-Fi without a wireless access point

Samsung Kies 2.0 & Kies air - The newly introduced Kies 2.0, an upgrade of Kies 1.5, enables the Samsung GALAXY S II to sync with a computer using a Wi-Fi network for PIM backup, subscribing to contents, and multimedia contents sharing. And with the Samsung Kies air solution you can connect with any browser’s address bar without a Kies program through the web browser to manage all sorts of information and multimedia contents on a larger screen.

AllShare - AllShare lets the Samsung GALAXY S II link wirelessly with a TV, laptop or even audio system to play multimedia files directly from the phone. AllShare synchronizes the phone with a compatible DLNA based product. So start the streaming to the big screen in HD.

My First Time Using A Laundromat in Germany

-
I usually prefer to travel light when possible, however during my recent business trip (which is about 6 weeks) I had no choice but to bring in a lot of clothes which was still not enough given the length of my stay, so I had no choice but to do laundry at one point.  The apartment/hotel that I was staying in does not offer laundry service, they do however have a coin operated washing machine which will cost you 6 euro for the wash and 4 euro for the dry, now that is very expensive! So I turned to my trusty friend Google and searched for a laundromat near my hotel and I found eco-express .  They charge 3 euro from 6:00 - 10:00 and 3.50 euro from 10:00 - 23:00 for the wash, 1 euro for dryer, and, 0.50 euro for the detergent that is if you didn't bring your own.  It was my first time to use a laundromat and boy was I intimidated, not so much by the act of doing laundry itself but by the fact that everything in the shop is in German!  Below are the instructions/steps...

I finally got my Jelly Bean update notification on my phone and without wasting any more time, immediately updated my Nexus.  The update is available only over WiFi connection only. I have been waiting for this update ever since Google announced it and pressing the "Check Now" button on my phone almost every minute but nothing happens. I have read from various forums that clearing the "Google Services Framework" sometimes does the trick and so I tried it as well, you basically just have to go to Settings>Apps,>All>Google Services Framework.  Force close the service and click on clear data then  restart the phone.  I did this steps almost 8 times before I finally received the update notification, I'm not sure if that trick really worked or it was just a coincidence.
