You can download Picassa, for example, which only imports photos. I find it very convenient for importing, browsing and minor adjustments to photos.

On newer versions of Android, WiFi settings are backed up along with your Google account (If you've enabled it in Settings -> Backup & reset -> Back up my data), and restored when you link your Google account back to your wiped or new device.
Note that in my personal experience, the Google backup feature is a bit flaky, sometimes it works, ...

You can't get the old popup back, but Sparx's suggestion is correct: if you double-tap the app, it has the same effect as clicking "Just once". Hopefully this is quick and easy enough that the new-style chooser doesn't annoy you any more.

Phones always use more data than normal in the first day or so, particularly if you didn't connect it to wifi while it was being set up.
Things that happen in the first day will be checking for (and downloading and installing) OS updates (which can be large), downloading and installing new apps (some of which could be large), syncing data down from the ...

Well, I'm guessing you went to the "Data Usage" option in the Settings Menu in order to find out how much data has been transferred.
If so, this screen will also list each of the applications that participated in that transfer and how much each one has transferred. Look for the one(s) that did most of this huge transfer.
If they're non-standard apps (like ...

You can get free storage space the same way you do on your PC:
Uninstall some apps you're not using. You might find it useful to go into the device Settings, then Apps (or Applications manager), then press the menu key and choose Sort by size to see which are taking up the most space.
If you have lots of videos, photos, or music in your internal storage, ...

You can downgrade to previous versions by flashing the Correspondings ROMS. The Downgrade is possible, only if the downgraded version is compatible with your device. HoneyComb is designed for Tablets. its not supported for smartphones. If Samsung GS2 is your devices, then HoneyComb is not supported, rather you can downgrade to pervious GB versions.

As I already wrote in my comment: A downgrade (as well as an upgrade) can be performed by flashing the corresponding ROM (for references, see other downgrade questions). To find a matching ROM, please see Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device?. For the process of flashing, you might want to check with the rom-flashing tag, especially ...

I actualy got it by doing the update from a Windows 7 computer. Kies seems to have difficulties with Windows 8.

Finally, I did a factory reset on my S2 and now the battery lasts the way it used to with ICS. ):

This is a general problem with all Android phones. Best way to solve this problem is On Call End program. It provides user to select following actions to take after a call:
Do nothing
Go to phone Home screen
Go to phone Dialer
Vibrate
Show a toast message with the call duration. Outgoing call duration includes the ringing time.
You can install On Call ...

So to sum up the bit of confusion that is in CM 10.1 now - there are actually two sets of notification bar toggles. One works like the old set from previous CM versions, and it appears in one row above your notifications when you pull down the bar. These are the "Power Widget" toggles.
The second set was a feature added upstream in Jelly Bean, and is ...

You can get an almost stock Jellybean experience using SuperNexus - I9100. It is based off AOSP and only has "improvements and optimizations", but states it is still very near to stock. Another option, while differentiating itself from AOSP, is CyanogenMod. This is based on AOSP, but includes a LOT of extra features and improvements of AOSP, while keeping ...

On my S2 (SGH-S959G) the setting is in Settings App > Call > Call Alert > Uncheck Alerts on Call.

Samsung Kies sucks horribly. The only way I've gotten it to work is to run it in Compatible with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and running it as a administrator. It should work fine then.

I wasn't able to know what is the problem with my device. But after performing a factory data reset, it's now working. :)

Go to Settings - Battery and take a look at the usage. You should see if there are any apps using an unexpected percentage of battery life. I've also seen location based apps drain my battery, but that's not saying that's what's causing your issues though.

I had the same problem opening attachments (.doc) in email.
I tried clearing the cache - didn't work, but ...
Under Settings ... Applications ... view all ... Internet ... Scroll down to "Launch By default", and click Clear defaults.
Next, when opening an attachment, select chrome and Just once (or something other than internet).
Worked for me !!!

This turned out to be a hardware fault which is pretty common on the SGS2 units. The vibration device is mounted next to the audio jack, meaning that it sometimes fails if the jack has been stressed. There's a short video (warning: nsfw language) that describes the issues and how to fix them.
Essentially it works as following:
Insert a cable into the ...

You should first check which IP address (and network) your hotspot is using. From the command-line (e.g. using a terminal app like Android Terminal Emulator or adb shell) you can figure this out with the command
ifconfig wlan0
If you rather want to avoid the command line, or your device uses womething other than wlan0 for the interface and you want to ...
