  • why my phone i929 cannot use slot sim cdma?? how to solve it?? root or what?? please help me :(

  • Cand apare si in Romania? Desigur cu 3G, cel putin.

  • Can work bouth sim card on GSM/GSM?

  • I got one in 2012 with android 2.3.6. It's designed for China Telecom(CDMA /3G). Good thing is it has two sim slots,one for CDMA, another for GSM, both of them are unlocked. So any other carriers's CDMA/GSM sim cards work fine on it for calls and sms. Bad thing is that China Telecom promote their CDMA 3G data plan with this phone, so they disable GPRS in GSM. That mean you can't use internet through GSM sim card, and can only access internet with wi-fi or CDMA 3G unless you root it and reinstall insecure ROM. This phone definitely is a good choice for who needs to use duo sim cards. If GPRS works, it's perfect.

  • which place your purchased the gadzet.please give details.where it is avilable.

  • the mobile is good but you should upgrade the OS of the mobile so that we will feel satisfaction that our money is spent for the latest tech. with new OS next thing like we have i ball andi which have latest version (4.0) and the price is 12500/- which is good for our pocket but we wanted to have Samsung galaxy s II duos 1929 phone so make changes in so make changes

  • when it will be in the Czech Republic? After all, was introduced five months ago and has since started to sell more quad-core models but not dualSIM

  • The only thing that would make the Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos a truly awesome and intimidating smartphone is if it has dual GSM capabilities. Now that Samsung has introduced a dual gsm Galaxy Ace Duos, maybe the company�s upcoming challenge should be a dual GSM Galaxy S ll

  • I bought the phone in 1 April 2012. Yes, the price is high and much better you don't buy the phone until will arrive in your country.

  • Thank you very much for the feedback. US$778 seems quite high price, so wondering when did you buy this device. Specially if we get it from a place without any support etc. The normal S2 prices are falling down may be below even $500. Thanks again

  • From China, the shops of China Telecom or on the taobao website (still China), China Telecom has an official store, the price in the stores is 5,900 RMB (937 USD) but i bought the phone with 4,900 RMB (778 USD), i have a friend who work at China Telecom.

It may help many people who are wondering where is it available online or in china or in Pakistan or in India or elsewhere? Its released 4 months ago so I assume it must be available somwhere. Thanks in advance

  • Google Play will never work. You need to install the application's from google play using another phone (Galaxy SII) which has the google play, then backup your application's on that phone using the Titanium Backup, after that open (unrar) the .apk files, copy the .apk files on your i929 sd card and install all the application's. Also, I installed "App Center" and I downloaded many applications from there.

  • I bought this phone but the same problem with Google Market Is there a solution to this

  • Slot 1 is: "CDMA: China Telecom CDMA01 or "GSM: China Telecom GSM01" you can switch between the two options. Slot 2: GSM02. BUT if you put a GSM sim (China Mobile or China Unicom) in the slot 1 is not working, the GSM for the slot 1 is just for the China Telecom. You activate the GSM01 just when you are out of China in roaming so the CDMA sim card can connect to the GSM networks.

  • Yes.

  • When will this monster comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing to India ??????????????

  • I'll wait for this one. All Samsung Dual SIM, This one is stand out the most.

  • When this smartphone become available?

  • is it slot 1 gsm+cdma and slot 2 gsm?

  • Does this phone have dual sim standby? So I can receive calls from both sim at the same time?

  • it will be most popular for nepal but 3G support must be esssential. I want to purchase this type mobile.

  • For the moment there is NO possibility to upgrade, other than the "Software update" in the menu. I updated one time after i bought the phone. I think will take many months or "years" until somebody will make a custom rom (root) for this model as long there is just in China this model, until now. I saw more down one comment posted by "VoID" about the phone quality, all i can say is that i "killed" the phone until now but never freezes or stop working, more than that, also the battery life time is much better than SG SII I-19100.

  • Can we upgrade the operating system?

  • i am waiting 4 dis when will laung in india

  • Yes, if you are talking on the sim 1 or sim 2 and somebody will call you on the other sim you will have the call waiting BUT if you answer the first conversation will stop (hang up). There is no "Hold" option for the call or conference possibility between the two lines...

  • From long time Samsung is not launching dual active dual SIM (GSM + GSM)base mobile phone. Why ??????????????

  • Is it dual active ,i mean while i am talking to a call in sim1 will i get call waiting for incoming call of sim2

  • When this phone will be available in India

  • when available in indonesia..pleaseeee samsung galaxy s II duos come to indonesia::::::)

  • It is Dual GSM/GSM (a kind of). There are two sim slots, the main one is CDMA2000 the second one is for GSM, BUT, when you open the phone (or open the "Dual standby setting") for the slot one you can choose to activate China Telecom CDMA01 or China Telecom GSM01, when i am in China is working just CDMA1 when i am in Hong Kong, using the roaming, i need to chose China Telecom GSM01 as long there are no CDMA networks in Hong Kong. BTW the second slot it is for GSM sim use BUT just to make phone calls, send messages and MMS, there is no data connection possibility.

  • It should be DUal in GSM / GSM .

  • When this phone available in Ukraine?

  • yes....when this phone available in indonesia?

  • I just bought this phone few days ago. Attention to all !!! This phone was special made for China Telecom, SO, this phone has no google services and is not working with google play (the new android market). I installed all the google services but the google play crush each time when i want to download something. Maybe some admin will consider to delete the google services from the specifications.

  • ya ya it has been released in indonesia...... it has been released everywhere except INDIA.......

  • when this phone available in indonesia?

  • This is more into CDMA. Samsung should be fair in dividing a network. If its CDMA has been 3G why hasn't GSM been 3G too? I want it so bad if this phone can work well in 3G both CDMA & GSM. (Sigh)

  • in iraq cdma network available

  • CDMA is not 3G....It's another Network technology just like GSM. it is used in some countries,not in Lebanon,only Yemen uses this new technology in arab countries...

  • This phone will be more than great with 3G or better buy galaxy duos y

  • NO 3G and it malfunctions the screen freezes totally and you need to remove the battery in order to reboot. It is already released in China long time ago... NO SIGN OF OUTSIDE market

  • interesting still not released here but it was long ago released in China what does that mean...

  • can someone tell me if i can use this phone in lebanon?is cdma means 3g?

  • i used to galaxy S II so i know how much battery backup required for above phone model so i thick 2000 mAh will better for 3G

  • yep it shud be in 3g... so it comes to the best

  • this phone shd come wit 3G. I bet it'll sell more in here Nigeria. I had wanted 2 get d oda galaxy pro duo till I saw dis model. I hope it'll soon b out 4 d int'l market wit d 3G spec & competitive price. Kudos samsung! But I need compensation 4 dis junk [email protected]

  • yes obsolutely correct dear same problm i hav it

  • samsung should launch this phone as GSM-GSM network in india, it will rock indian market, cause data rates r high in cdma and not affordable on CDMA network,

  • Please sell the phone like this in Indonesia, dual on gsm and CDMA ruin card supported

  • In addition Samsung I929 Galaxy Must Be 3G network support.Then after It will be most popular mobile phones.

  • It must be GSM 3G data support. Large number of people purchase this mobile Phones.

  • two sims without 3g..? who will gonna buy this fon..?

  • Why no dual WCDMA version? The rest of the world would love this phone! Why are dual-sim phones always so low spec?!

  • i now therefore conclude that this phone is an experiment to see the bugs and glitches and the lab rats? are the chinese thats why its china release only after this they will release an international version

  • Will be great if the GSM network support 3G network data as well.

  • i second the motion for a high end dual sim phone... All high end phones can virtually do anything now a days, and i think the dual sim feature is gonna be the next best thing....

  • When this mobile phone Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos will be actually available in M.E or Egypt Market?

  • Specs of the I929 Galaxy S II Duos look good but it would be even better if Samsung is to simultaneously release a GSM dual sim version of this phone. It's about time someone came up with a high-end dual sim smartphone.

  • other than cheap looking plastic, this phone is fine.

  • By june

  • Its not doulsim

  • In my country we have GSM and CDMA this will be great to have them both in one smart phone instead of having two phones. Does anybody could tell me how can we buy it internationally??????

  • When Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos aqvailable in Indonesia cause this is potential market for Samsung.

  • Any idea when this phone will be available in Europe?

  • When this mobile phone Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos will be actually available in Mumbai or Indian Market.

  • sorry man.......mine has the same damn problem. :-(

  • I have the same problem with the Samsung Galaxy S. Three days ago my touchscreen starts to freeze. I tried everything and a temporary solution is to shut down the telephone and remove the battery for half an hour. Then it works again, but after a while the touchscreen freezes again. Although my touchscreen sometimes got some waterdrops on it, it don't think this caused tte problem. I think this is a software problem. When you disconnect the battery for half an hour untill an hour, the mobile phone maybe get a kind of a reset, because afterwards it works fine for some short time and then the touchscreens halters after receiving a phone call or pressing a lot of times on the screen. This suggests a softwareproblem, which could be solved by new firmware, but I can't find it on the internet. Somebody any idea? Thanks, Eric

  • my phone stopped working & it freezes.

  • Dear Sir, This should actually be a hardware problem and hence I will be advising you to get the phone for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! but i haven't gotten it wet! I text a lot though. And it won't let me even go to the menu to fix the calibration but when i push the message button on the key board the screen is still messed up but it's more responsive to my touch. It literally did this over night! and i have to turn it off and on for texting sometimes because it will stop sending message.

  • my touch screen recently stopped working.

  • I had the same problem with this phone; i could open any more apps and i could only open stuff about an inch below.. but by this point its impossible to re calibrate. the best thing to do when the phone starts acting up like this is to call your cell phone provider and exchange it.. that is if the one year warranty has not expired. rememer every phone has one year factory warranty that will exchange it without no charge. this will not go through your insurance since its the cell problem. Good luck.

  • my touchscreen starts to freeze. I tried everything and a temporary solution is to shut down the telephone and remove the battery for half an hour. Then it works again, but after a while the touchscreen freezes again

  • My Samsung phone freeze. I re calibrated it to see if it would stop. After I calibrated it, it worked just fine for a few minutes but then it started getting all jacked up again.

  • When the Samsung Galaxy Duos will come in Europe with 3G. Why only in China, Pakistan or India we also we use dual sim in Europe. Shame on you Samsung.

  • HEY YA'LL! Kindly please know that this is a DUAL SIM phone=GSM/CDMA only and not any of the 2 at the same time. Also, there is NO 3G/4G or anything in that GSM direction, just Rev.A ofcourse 4 the CDMA line only! Maximum speeds achieved are generally what we would translate as 7.2Mbps but again, CDMA only thats why theye indicate is as Rev.A.

  • YES its dual SIM but take note, only CDMA/GSM! Its also worth noting that there is no HSPDA on GSM but connections are only Rev.A launching on CDMA only!

  • this is dule sim GSM GSM support or only single sim mobile

  • where can i get it from egypt & how much (L.E )?

  • theres no 3g probably because 3g is not popular in china and the unit is intended for china use possibly if ever they will release an international version of this it will have 3g if ever it will be released outside china.

  • theres no 3g probably because 3g is not popular in china and the unit is intended for china use possibly if ever they will release an international version of this it will have 3g if ever it will be released outside china.

  • just reading what all the fuss about.i just got mine and want to know all i can about this imppressive looking ph. i am trying to learn all i can about it before i start messing with it so i figured i will keep up with this site and learn all i can

  • Is it better than HTC sensation XE? Someone please answer

  • How do i know where everyone can post on with any nickname? I opened the site & noticed there is opinions on every phone by anonymous. i do no experiment by posting my opinion without a nickname.

  • Why are you crying so loud about having/having not 3G feature? It have Wi/Fi, and we also live in 21`th century and, wi/fi internet is available in metro stations, pubs, discos... even kindergardens. So...honestly.. I cant see the drama

  • this is not a dual sim phone

  • 089 you do realise that if you do not enter a nickname(which is optional )then gsm arena automatically post you as being anonymous. therefore you have clearly just had a dig at multiple users and made yourself look stupid .

  • If this is duall sim than it will be King amongst business phones.

  • do u own most of the mobile devices,anonymous? I joined this site for 2 days & i am wonderful after watching that u commented on almost every phone. Clear that u spend a long time on gsmarena but how much money u spend on mobile phones?

  • any other comments aside from this phone not being a dual sim phone? there are other features of the phone you can talk about, you know? ...sorry for being prude but i've been reading forever with the comments and all i could read is this phone not being a dual sim gadget... :(

  • i need this!! lower the price! please! thz is wat i want! dream phone!

  • oh my god.. dualsim again -.-"

  • it will better if it is cdma & gsm i need so

  • i agree with ruu. i know you are listening. :)

  • SAMSUNG Plese!!! Need this phone to work with 2 GSM simcards and 3G.

  • is it cdma n gsm or gsm n gsm

  • This is dual sim card...? we want to purchease middle rang endroid base dual sim CDMA+GSM Requirement...

  • My friend, u r not exactly wrong in stating that this gadget is 3G! its just wat u decide to call it coz this phone actually has no 3G capabilities when u r running the GSM sim but u can achieve just about the same on CDMA only i.e Rev.A 3.1Mbps which is generally unsatisfactory coz this makes up just about 7.2Mbps equivalent in GSM world!

  • They have already, with the Y series! + even more lowere end ones not even running android e.g B5722/B7722! Wat they should make now is I9000 SG2 full spec twin GSM smart phone with ICS capabilities + 3G.

  • Will it work on Sprint (USA) CDMA network

  • please samsung make a dual sim for mid range android

  • It is dual sim phone? Ithink it's not.

  • It is dual sim phone? Ithink it's not.

  • Wha... they called it DUO but not really a dual SIM thing? I really like SAMSUNG than other phones.

  • this cell does not seem to be dual sim, as this is not metnioned in the specs. may be it is called due to GSM and EDVO. and this is not the first android with dual sim. i think samsung galaxy Y Duos and Y Pro Duos will reach the market before this set. Perhaps Samsung is the first one to announce dual sim dual stand by set with android. still Nokia could not announce any dual sim mobile with symbian OS.

  • ooooohoooooo supurb samsung i like this phone .n i like this thing hpn frst time that android fon is in duos..............nice samsung

  • No, this is not a Dual Sim phone.

  • Why so many S2 what is the difference between each others ?

  • Is this really a dual sim phone? For every other phone (e.g. The Galaxy Y Pro) the specs read "dual-sim"...but not here. The name is DUOS but honestly I'm not so sure. Is the duos about CDMA and GSM but only one sim or does the phone support two sims and CDMA. Can someone please explain?

  • I think most of e guys didnt read properly the spec, this phone is specially for China Telecom, which is a china operator network, uniquely provided 2G in GSM n CDMA n 3G only in CDMA. So this phone in fact has 3G! But jz nt in gsm but in cdma.. Duh

  • this handset the only thing that my tata indicom sim has ever dreamed of.

  • poor thing is that 3G in this phone is available only on CDMA network that means thru EV-DO and there is no actual 3G HSDPA on GSM network...what a pity and painful miss on otherwise a wonderful piece of handset

  • We are eagerly waiting for this phone for all CDMA subscribers like Tata Docomo & Reliance CDMA. kindly request you to launch as soon as possible.

  • Is this phone Dual active /standby

  • No Duos...

  • we want this type of phone specially with 3g services and good battery

  • Please release this type of model with 3G facility as soon as possible for Samsung customers.

  • hi buy Samsung I929 Galaxy S II Duos

  • i want this phone!

  • It will not come to Finland as the operators dont want it. Have you seen dual sim being sold by any operator like DNA. sONERA OR eLISA ???

  • I want this model in Europe/in the Finland!. ;)

  • samsung should release a phone with same specification with GSM+GSM sim option for which many people are waiting.

  • I've sold the galaxy s2 again: First Bluetooth in the car is not working properly Second Bluetooth connection to the laptop does not work Third poor voice quality But 999 apps .... LOL

  • If you don't follow the above rules, your post will be probably deleted.

  • If you want 3G phone. Buy Galaxy S II, not this one. Problem solved. :)

  • Samsung need to release such phone with 3G network asap to maintain their customers. Dual SIM is really good start with high end phones. Without 3G this phone is like a junk in hand. Any person who like to browse on phone won't buy this phone.

  • CDMA2000 1xEV-DO is actually a 3G technology which is different from the 'usual' WCDMA + HSPA. It supports up to 3.1Mbps data speed which compares favourably with HSPA speed of 3.6Mbps. It is the 3G standard for carriers using CDMA (as opposed to GSM) as 2G.

  • dual sim for a high end phone is a welcome especially for people having dual sim for the sake of business it will be convenient, make it available at the earliest!! thank you.

  • I think Samsung guys went crazy... Lunching a dual SIM with these wonderful specs without 3G????? :S It would kick the nuts of the other manufacturers! I usually use cheaper phones, and I have, at this time, a Samsung Ch@t322/C3222. I'm planning to switch to Android. I was waiting for the Galaxy Y Pro Duos, but if this model had 3G, I would consider spending the extra mon�y to get this phone instead. Regards

  • Samsung gone mad, in this 3G world coming soon phone has no 3G network what's use then? I want explaination from samsung about this as i want to buy this phone. I appriciate that atleast dual sim now availabel with high end phones

  • Is not 3G??? Serius??? NO conditions for the atual days!!!

  • is it a dual sim phone?

  • motorola xt928 is better than this one.

  • No 3G network ??? 2G speed is really slow. Cannot watch youtube on the phone using this connection

  • waiting for that one

  • I want to know how much the price of Samsung I929 Galaxy II Duos is?

  • is it a dual sim phone?

  • What R u talking about? All SG2 have inbuilt radio +RDS!

  • Its not 4 China only1 Its only that it hit that Market 1st, 4 obvious reasons n will soon roll out especially in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa where dual SIM phones are just about a primary necessity due to the widely varying Service providers.

  • WRONG Pal! Do ur research_Its a bloody dual SIM phone (CDMA +GSM), and not specifically dual band as u r trying 2 mislead.

  • hmmmm this is the one i am waiting...........

  • I was despirately waiting for Samsung Duo (Dual SIM) on Android. Samsung has done great job. Also, this phone has Radio which was missing in Galaxy SII. This phone is a complete gadzet in hand now..

  • The ULTIMATE Gadget.Do whatever you want to with it.

  • is it really worth it to buy

  • have an ics android os for this device.

  • It's a DUOS, and has such it is dual sim...

  • Are you sure??

  • idont like samsung duos

  • Its Android and Android's softwares are not Certifite by expert tectnition in reasult may be not suitable for your handset

  • is it support for nepali cdma network?

  • because is was a special order from china, china is full of money, did you not know

  • why is it for china only? :( please make a global

  • It's not a dual SIM phone, It just supports both GSM and CDMA networks but not at the same time

  • Go samsung go, ya this is like a dream mobile, finally a smart phone with a dual sim, oh yah please release it in the Middle East market A.S.A.P

  • Function and fracture all the same, nothing new.

  • phone is so good but without 3g bad phone

  • Yes, this era always surprise us with new Samsung and I wish I was rich phone system G

  • Oooooh Yes! I have been waiting for the day that Samsung will release a dual SIM Galaxy S2 or the same on a better version. Finally someone is thinking about many of their customers who must use several SIM cards in their day 2 day operations. I just could not get it why major brands could not just mfg a smartphone and inlcude the twin SIM option. It must be relatively easy as almost all cheap Chinese phones have it working perfectly without hitches on low budget production! But all that we need now Samsung is the production of Galaxy S2 at full specs throttle having 2 or 3 GSM cards working simultaneously! I would suggets 2 ports 4 GSM and 1 4 CDMA! That would b my dream phone.

  • please unleash this phone asap samsung

  • that is what i have been waiting for.

  • DUOS by name only, no dual sim support and no 3G

  • ppi is poor , 4.6 inches need hd resolution . and chipset aderno is crap .. battery drain fast in this chipset i dont think samsung going to use this chipset ! if its , it will be battery drainer

  • its the one,the best of all.thank u samsung

  • I just realized that it has no European / Middle East 3G ... I hope there will be a European / Middle East version very soon!

  • classic

  • what? no 3g network

  • without 3 G Andriod Galaxy

  • i need to GSM 2 SIM Support Samsung Galaxy S ll Duos thanks samsung

  • Samsung please think of the African (Ghanaian) when releasing higher specs dual Sim handsets

  • Really craving for this smartphone...great job samsung!

  • I don't think Samsung is on top. Simple Moto and Samy made phone for chinese market. Let compare it. http://www. gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4387&idPh­one2=4382

  • Yeah baby...next is the Tab Duos babe...somebody stop me baby...i m on fire baby...skyrocket away baby... p/s: seriously do the galaxy tab 7.0n plus duos!
