It's extremely unfortunate and disgusting that Android has ignored Hindi compatibility for Gingerbread 2.3.3 .... how can they be ignorant about the fact that every Sixth person in the world is an Indian and directly being affected by the Indic languages portability in the modern mobiles or electronic gadgets!
After long wait of at least seven months, I purchaged a Samsung Galaxy S2 on 5th June 2011. Its a Gingerbread OS 2.3.3 phone. But I got shocked to know that it doesn't have Devnagri compatibility. I tag it a slap on the face of Indians specially those Hindustanies who are working with Google or Android or even Samsung! Shame-Shame!
Indian languages are not in the list but there are many others are there which is hardly a language of few million people! Clearly a pathetic approach has been adopted against 121 billion people!
Only remady to this issue would be the IMMEDIATE upgradation of the OS 2.3.3...!
MAY THE GOOD SENSE PREVAIL..!

Incapability of Galasy S2
After using the iPhone for four years, now I'm using the S2 since last 48 days. I’m of the view that majority of web reviews are stage managed and mainly focusing on the hardware side of the device. So, here is my review as a normal user, who mainly appreciates the functioning side of the device. I’ve compared the S2 with the iPhone mainly on angle o[censored]ser Friendliness. Off course, S2 has many better features but iPhone is better to use on the day to day basis. Hopefully my feedback will help Samsung to improve this much hyped product. Till now, I have experienced the following short comings or the incompetency in S2:
A USER’S REVIEW OF GALAXY S2
1. Start from the shop… Samsung is unable to provide you a Screen Protector in the box of S2! It’s a must accessory and would cost them a very meager amount. Protector is NOT or easily available in the market even if you are ready to pay for it additionally. Samsung should make it mandatory for it self to provide a Protector for all type of its mobiles. 2. The S2’s mobile case is the next bad thing a buyer is noticing at the time of purchase! It has a great designing bug! Samsung has absolutely ignored its user friendly quotient! I failed to use it even for a minute and rejected it at the first stance! Not because of its material but the reason is its design. What a poor lady hand purse type of shape, inconvenient to keep it in pocket and keep out from the case to use every now and then!
3. Now, the operational part of S2…
Samsung is not providing the Hindi Compatibility. Why? Android 2.3.3 is very much supportive of Hindi, which is the national language of 1.21 billion Indians! But Samsung ignored Hindi in its Indian market version also. You may recall that while Froyo (2.2) only had support for 26 languages, Gingerbread is empowered with a whopping 57 languages. Hindi, India (hi_IN) is very much there in this extended list of supported languages of 2.3.3! Then why Samsung's S2 is deliberately NOT having Hindi Support? Its note worthy that the Samsung is enjoying a large foot print in the Indian market. Yet, they ignored Hindi. Only God knows why! At least professionals at Samsung Support India don't have any guess about this apathy! HINDI COMPATIBILITY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE PROVIDED BY SAMSUNG IN S2!
4. I’ve found that there few more bugs with the S2! First is with the built in GMAIL App. You can NOT copy anything from the attachments of your Gmail account using this App, be it of any type of file! You will witness similar COPY/PASTE failure with majority of materials while moving through the built in Google browser. Google's Transliteration (not the translation) Tool is also not working in its own browser! Samsung needs to find out a remedy of it. It requires immediate resolution from Samsung or Google or both.
5. With S2, you will confront with similar COPY/PASTE problem elsewhere also. For example: suppose you want to send two or more contact numbers of one person from your address book which are stored under one contact to some body else through SMS. Then you can’t do this without copying each contact number independently to the note pad and then to clipboard of your SMS protocol, that too, only after going in EDIT mode of the contact. This is quite tedious route for such top end smart phone from Samsung and needs betterment!
6. In the SMS protocol of S2, there are few bugs also! Suppose you receive a long SMS from someone. S2 will show the full text in your mobile. But if you want to forward this lengthy SMS to someone else, then the whole text of SMS will first convert into a Multi Media Massage (MMS) and then it (the SMS) will be sent to the recipient as an MMS. Now, your SMS thread will show it as SENT and but the receiver will NOT get this SMS (Converted into MMS) in their ‘In-box’. This bug also needs to be solved on priority by Samsung!
7. Its note worthy that the iPhone can send a SMS o[censored]nlimited characters. And when the limit of an SMS exceeds, the remaining text moves to the second or third or fourth or fifth packets, but never hesitate from sending the long SMS. The Charges for long SMS will be decided on the basis of these packets by the service provider. This is desired in the S2 also. Long SMS converted into MMS may save the cost for the sender by that is waste as the recipient is not getting the MMS in all type of mobile handset. If you want, you may develop an option for MMS or SMS before sending but please empower the S2 for sending the long SMS.
8. There is one more issue with regard to forwarding of the SMSs. Suppose you have five SMSs in one Thread of your S2, and you quickly wanted to forward Two or Three of them to some body else. Then you can not select these Two/Three SMSs to be copied to your Clip board in one stroke and then send it as a combined one! This feature is available in the iPhone but not in Samsung’s top end mobile S2. In S2, one has to Copy/Paste these selected SMSs one by one. Samsung/Android should try to develop these user friendly features and update the phone as soon as possible.
9. In your built in Weather update feature, one can just get the updates of 10 cities. I believe, iPhone is not having any such limit! Also, in this nice App, there shall be feature of auto update at the defined intervals.
10. S2 is having a NICE feature of Black Listed numbers for calls and SMS. But its capacity is quite small. It was made large if not unlimited. 11. Now, the design part of S2… Location o[censored]SB port for charging the S2 is also not designed at the user friendly place. Its top location like of the Galaxy S is perfect. That gives us perfect grip to carry on the use of device while keeping it in hand and also charging.
12. FM Radio is a good feature of S2. But it has a handicap with it too. It’s unable to work without the headphones attached to it. I can understand that the headphones are working as an antenna for the device. But it means that one should always carry the headphone in pocket! Suppose, you missed it at your home or in office or in your car and after a while you want to listen the Radio then you can’t do it. In technical term this may not an issue but from user’s point of view it’s a lacuna. This could have been avoided at the design stage by compromising a little more weight and slimness of the device. Probably, this might have led to some antenna radiation issue also and then a better hardware solution would have been developed by the R&D experts!
In conclusion, may I submit that in spite of having several new features, S2 is not better then an iPhone especially in term o[censored]ser friendliness! Samsung is supposed to come out of these challenges! Will the Samsung care?
Lastly, I feel sorry for those professionals who are working in Samsung India (Support) that they are very severely handicap to serve the patrons better..! I extend my sincere sympathies with such people who bear the pain of being so much dependent on their Korean masters..! All of them had told me that my concerns are genuine but can only be rectified by the Koreans and hopefully by the time next update will be released. But most unfortunately they have NO idea that how much this may take!

Firstly i fail to understand how can the browser you use be google.com. Anyway since the S2 is a phone i.e a piece of hardware reviews will tend to be focused on the hardware side. If you wanted to check the software side...you would have to check the Android vs iOS battle. A person using a Samsung Galaxy SII cannot be termed a "normal user" as he/she is expected to have some knowledge of phones or technology in general. A "normal user" is expected to look at either BlackBerry or iPhone in this case as they are "incompetent" at using slightly complex phones.
1)The screen protector is not usually bundled with any device as it is not essential and might be subjected to wrong installation by most users. It is easily available in any decent mobile showroom if required.
2)In other countries there is no case bundled. Want a functional case? Then have a look at cases from casemate etc. The stock case it designed to protect screen and camera lens from being scratched and some mild protection and for that, it's more than enough. Competitors don't even provide a case so kudos Samsung!
3)Hindi compatibility is not required in this kind of a phone as less than 1% of India is the targeted audience only 40% of the country understands Hindi (which means 1% of 40% which is a meager 0.4% and not all of them will buy an android!) and Hindi is NOT the national language, it's just one of the official languages. (check the Constitution please!)
4-10) Agreed.
11) I don't see a problem with the multi-function port being located below. Even if it was located on top it'll have it's share of problems. So the position is insignificant.
12) I doubt if ANY phone in the market has a radio that works without plugging in the ear-plugs. If they do, then either they are pretty low-end or made by some Chinese manufacturer.
In conclusion, may I please submit that the iPhone is indeed better in terms o[censored]ser friendliness and it didn't even have copy paste till the the 2nd installment of the iPhone was launched and it's not even half as powerful or feature rich as the S2. So Samsung wont care!
Lastly i feel sorry for people like you who continuously nit-pick about these phenomenal phones while being incapable of enjoying the good stuff the phone has to offer. Every phone will have glitches at the beginning and will eventually be ironed out. The Koreans have done a fantastic job at making a smartphone this good, so good in fact that some PEOPLE find it bad!
So Samsung just get some of the above mentioned bugs out and you will have one of the best phones to sell on the market. Not surprisingly you have already sold more than 3 million of 'em while PEOPLE who find android un-user friendly can go back to the old NOKIA 3310/1108 days when phones were more user friendly.
Thanking you,

Dude what's up with your English and by the way world population is yet to touch 7 billion, from where did you get 121 billion? I[censored] are saying Korean, Japanese etc are language of a few million, you are CORRECT but if you check the company's sales figures more than 50% of the sales is from these countries and less than 1% is from India. So i think some common sense has to be called for here. 70% of our country is in poverty and you are saying hindi must be included! Less than 0.1% of our country is even THINKING about buying this phone...

Dear Aditya Venkat ji,
It’s quite pleasant that you are fully satisfied with your S2. But does that mean that others should not have their opinion about the device? You have every right to disagree with my observations. Propagate as much as you can about the magical phone you managed to have and also enjoying. But keep in mind that you also agreed to point 4 to 10 of my review!
Why are you so annoyed with me by suggesting me to go for NOKIA 3310/1108! What empowers you to suggest in such a manner? Am I supposed to take your permission and guidance before going to have a mobile! I never sought for your advice either. Gentlemen are known to respect others be it even the opponent. And by the way, how can I compel you to accept that, "In conclusion, may I please submit that the iPhone is indeed better in terms o[censored]ser friendliness..."
You and Samsung must be extraordinary and genius, as both are, some how, against the taking into account of the Hindi compatibility for their top end and much hyped mobile, the S2! For me, Samsung is having a large foot print in the Indian market. They’ve officially launched S2 in Indian market. Therefore, they are supposed to come up to the expectations of each customer. I tag it as a perverted argument that the size of Indian market and Hindi demanding user is so tiny that hardly need to care about. Can we say that a state of the art type hospital should NOT care about the simple fever and flu of some of their patients!
I believe, in the S2 type of phones, one can expect everything! That’s what the manufactures are also, some how, projecting!
Lastly, I’m sorry for a typing error about the numbers of Indian (1.21 Billion) but this was clearly understood in the next line that every sixth person in the world is an Indian. And please go through the Constituent Assembly debates on the adoption of National/Official language of India, as Hindi. Understand the subject deeply and then comment as you wish fit. I’m totally against of imposing any language on any body. But (1) please try to know why our forefathers have chosen the word Official instead of National and (2) in my opinion, that article 343 of our Constitution has done immense harm to Hindi speaking states then to benefit them. See the poverty, unemployment and all the human indexes of these states. Unfortunately, very small population is really Hindi speaking in the vast Hindi heartland. There are hundreds of dialects prevailing here from generations for communicating among the local population. But then again, this Hindi (Hindustani, the language of our Hindi film and Hindi media) is India’s prime language of the country. You’ve every right to dislike it as much as you want! But why would you not like to see all Indian languages if you can have an option in your hand held device of more than 32k! You may ask for this, instead of going for those arguments of business sense, number of prospective buyers etc. We the customers are not suppose to worry about the turn over and market potential of these MNCs.
Take care..!

Hi Mukesh,
I am totally convinced with your opinion.
I wanted to use Hindi for a sms as u have your own slangs and feel like writing in your Official/national language. Anyhow, you actually pointed out the relevant problems and samsung should be really happy to have virtual testing people for them. I had been facing almost all the above issues besides the heating problem of the phone. It gets heated like an iron and gets S.Of[censored]ltimately. I am feeling so bad, why I did a mistake by buying this only because of certain frills.My husband has been using iphone for long and totally contented with it. Samsung Galaxy S2's keyboard is also very messy, its not very easy to use if you compare with an iphone, though I had been thinking that its the new device so probably I will take time to adjust with it.
Its very good to look at but for me, I believe its lil broad and you get tired holding it for long without headphones.Samsung service center is so crowded and full of complaints. I had gone there twice but could not stand in the hospital like queue for more than 1.5 hours. I know, you are not from Samsung and can barely help me, but seeing the similar plight, thought of discussing with you. Another problem, sending contact in vcf format, don't know if only samsung ppl can receive it. No attachments can be copied either. Multi-function port seems to be a major problem if you use it while driving, you keep on rotating the phone as its very confusing to see which side is the front. I am also pissed off, just feel like having my money back and buying a second iphone in the home. My mistake bought a samsung product just on the face of it.

Another problem, sending contact in vcf format, don't know if only samsung ppl can receive it. No attachments can be copied either. Multi-function port seems to be a major problem if you use it while driving, you keep on rotating the phone as its very confusing to see which side is the front. I am also pissed off, just feel like having my money back and buying a second iphone in the home. My mistake bought a samsung product just on the face of it.
Description of my handset:
Samsung Galaxy SII Model No: GT-I9100 (Version: 11.05.20.01).
Browser: Google.com
Baseband Version: I9100DDKE2.
Kernel Version:2.6.35.7-I91100XWKF3-CL276555 [protected]@DELL101#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE8.
Very Sadly :-(

प्रिय जसप्रीत जी,
मुझसे सहमति जताने के लिए आपका धन्यवाद। मुझे अफ़सोस है कि आपको भी Samsung Galaxy S2 से वैसी ही मायूसी मिली जैसा कि मेरा अनुभव था। मैंने इस फोन से जुलाई में पिंड छुड़ा लिया था। मेरे फोन को कंपनी ने वापस लेकर मुझे पूरी रकम लौटा दी थी।
वैसे Samsung India के Customer Support में काम कर रहे ज़्यादातर कर्मचारियों के प्रति मेरी धारणा और अनुभव अच्छा है। आप भी support.[protected]@samsung.com के माध्यम से अपनी समस्याओं के निराकरण के लिए सम्पर्क कर सकती हैं।
फोन के गरम हो जाने के संदर्भ में ज़रा एक और कोशिश करके देंखे। उन Apps को बन्द करते चलिए, जिनका काम हो चुका है। एक वक्त में ज़्यादा Apps के सक्रिय रहने से भी फोन के गर्म होने और बैटरी की खपत के बढ़ने की समस्या सामने आती है। कोशिश करें कि हरेक एक-दो दिन पर फोन की Swich Offf भी ज़रूर कर लिया जाए। इससे भी performance में सुधार होने की गुंजाइश रहती है।
सस्नेह,
मुकेश

प्रिय जसप्रीत जी,
फोन का गर्म होना भी एक बहुत बड़ी कमी है। इसे खतरनाक भी माना जाता है क्योंकि भगवान ना करे, फोन के ज़्यादा गर्म होकर बैटरी के फट जाने का जोखिम बना रहता है। बड़ी स्क्रीन की आड़ में ऐसी कमी या जोखिम को बर्दाश्त करना मुनासिब नहीं हो सकता। सैमसंग सपोर्ट से मेल-बाजी करके तो देखना ही चाहिए। बाकी आप खुद ही समझदार हैं।

After long wait of at least seven months, I purchaged a Samsung Galaxy S2 on 5th June 2011. Its a Gingerbread OS 2.3.3 phone. But I got shocked to know that it doesn't have Devnagri compatibility. I tag it a slap on the face of Indians specially those Hindustanies who are working with Google or Android or even Samsung! Shame-Shame!
Indian languages are not in the list but there are many others are there which is hardly a language of few million people! Clearly a pathetic approach has been adopted against 121 billion people!
Only remady to this issue would be the IMMEDIATE upgradation of the OS 2.3.3...!
MAY THE GOOD SENSE PREVAIL..!
