    The vulnerability was initially thought to only affect the Galaxy S III as tweeted by Pau Olivia:

    Although multiple reports suggest that it only brings up the phone’s dialer. The vulnerability instead works on the Galaxy S II which is caused by the TouchWiz launcher which automatically dials the reset code.

    According to Tweakers the Galaxy S Advance is also being affected by the problem.

    Samsung is reported to be looking into the problem.

  • The First Custom ROM For The Samsung Galaxy S II Is Now Available For Download

    The original Samsung Galaxy S had a very strong developer community behind it churning out excellent ROMSs like Darkys, looks like the same is gonna happen with it’s successor. pulser_g2 from XDA has released the first custom ROM for the Galaxy S II called the VillainROM 1.0, don’t be confused by the image above the ROM shall be fully stock.The ROM is based on XWKE2, the developer describes it as:

    It’s fully deodexed, and I’ve resigned all the Samsung and stock applications with a new key-set, so that it’s much easier to make modifications to the apps in future. Villain Tweaks was a project of mine to “test the water” for modifying the apps in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn’t get around, since the pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung.

    Do note guys is ROM is in it’s primary stages and would take some time to be usable on the daily basis so install it at your own risk.

  • The Recently Reported AT&T Branded Samsung Galaxy S II, It’s Not A Galaxy S II After All

    Remember the AT&T branded so called Samsung Galaxy S II with a slide out keyboard? Well it’s not a Galaxy S II after all. According to BGR who received the images of the phone say that it’s a whole new phone, so basically AT&T is getting TWO slim and stylish Samsung phone soon.

    A phone with the model number SGH-i927 went through the FCC a few weeks ago with AT&T bands but it seems that was another phone and Samsung has recycled the model number for this new phone. Another odd thing about this phone is the kernel version, 2.6.36.3 is suppose to be a kernel for Android Honeycomb not Gingerbread. More news about this as it develops.
