[Q] New to Samsung S II - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am goint to pre order the Samsung Galaxy S II tonite (It's not yet launched in India).
I just wanted to ask a question.
I have read that Samsung has its own apps store. Does this mean the usual andriod store will not be present on the Galaxy S II.
Thanks.

usual android app store is present, no worries

Android market is installed right off the bat. Moved from the iphone and only thing I miss is the battery life.

[Q] Samsung Contact/Dialer

I was at the ATT store tonight playing around the with the Samsung captivate. I absolutely LOVE the dialer/contact app on the Samsung androids. I took a spin through the captivate forum here and did not find it, so I was wondering if anyone has managed to extract that program and use it on the TB or any HTC phone.

ICS Premium Suite Birthday Card Maker?

These may seem like a silly questions, however I was watching the premium suite and one of the things I saw was some kind of 3D birthday card app - My first question is where is it? I have upgraded to ICS and I am having a difficult time finding it. My second question is, does the person receiving one of these cards also need to have this app on their phone?
Thank you in advance for any help.
The app is called My Story. To the best of my knowledge, the recipient needs to have the app as well, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, the person you are sending it to has to have the app and be a friend of yours on it. How many people have the note though :/ seriously....

I have to download it from market manually on my phone and then my friend's. The above information is all correct. Neat app, but a little restricting in its use.

The app is now compatible with many Samsung devices, so it's not just Note to Note. My wife has an S3 and worked fine.

only useful if the recipient has a galaxy note or other recent Samsung galaxy phone
Hi! I'm new here, and was wondering how you add friends to the My Story app? I noticed that you were able to send something to your wife through it, and she doesn't have a Note. I REALLY appreciate your help!

I just got the official ICS update here in Canada...
I tried to test out the My Story App on my note and on my dad's note both running stock ICS that got released today but we were both able to send without any error to each other except we don't seem to receive the letter... Does anyone else have this problem or might know how to fix this? Tried on both Wifi and on data (connections are both really strong) so it is not internet problem.
Thank you.

I just checked and it seems you are right.
I have not and will not buy it, that is a ridiculous price I'm my opinion, but if someone with a fat wallet wants to, it would be nice to see a comparison between this version and the Thd one

Keyboard Choices

I boifht Swiftkey on my S3 and for m u tablet. The tablet edition. I haven't set it up yet on my mew S4. Is it recommend on the S4 or use the stock keyboard? I juat can decide. I like how it auto corrects the words. Help me if you can please.
Sent from my Rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 using xda premium
Personally, I use Swiftkey with Flow (Swiftkey's version of Swype) enabled. I prefer it over the stock keyboard and haven't seen any issues with it yet. I'd say it's a personal preference thing.
That's what I've been using on my tablet. I purchased both versions. It was good on the S3 so I think I'll set it up on my S4.
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 using XDA Premium HD
Tried the swiftkey trial and immediately purchased it. It's so much better than the stock Samsung keyboard for me.

Samsung Hub - Where's it gone?

I recently got my S5 and was surprised to see there is no Samsung Hub installed. I tried the Play Store and it says app not compatible with device.
I tweeted Samsung to ask I how get all my purchased content from the hub to my S5 and their answer was to use Samsung Link on my phone, well that didn't work.
My next stop was at the new Samsung Experience store, to say they were clueless is an understatement, the advisor was tapping away at my phone trying to find it, he then resorted to using Chrome on my phone and Googling the answer to which he said I should download the apk file, well I've just done that and that didn't work.
Any advice on how to rectify this would be appreciated, I just want all the films that I've previously purchased in the past from the hub onto my Galaxy S5.
Cheers

Thanks for that info , unfortunately you have to root the phone and I'm unwilling to do that.
