I need help please

Hi, i own a gt-i9100. I've updated from the stock firmware 2.3.3 to 4.1.4(sammobile). Since then the phone is overheating and the battery is going down like 1%/minute.

I don't know if the problem is from the firmware or from the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProjectCM3:
I have a question for you (or anyone else who might have experienced this and has figured out a way to fix it)

I got my unlocked, carrier-free GS II about 3 weeks ago here in the Netherlands and it's currently running GINGERBREAD.XWKE1. A couple of days ago my GS II was acting up. I couldn't receive any calls nor make any. My data connection didn't work either. It wasn't my carrier, it was the phone itself. So I decided to see if there was a update for my phone. I've heard everything from a KE2 to a KE4 and even a KE7...are these actual updates, firmwares...etc. and why is it that I can't find them when I do a Software Update -> Check for update from the phone itself?

Also, I tried to do it via Keis and the latest it gives me is KE2...however when I try to do the update, my phone loses connection to the laptop/Kies and nothing happends.

Someone, ANYONE, please help! I'm no expert and I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedAl:
I`ve got a bit of an issue, I followed the debrading thread to enable me to update to KE7 but I hit a bit of an issue with the final step about the CSC. I couldnt follow it as the instructions weren`t very clear. Since then I`ve done a factory reset and when I connect my phone to the pc via Kies it cannot tell me what version of firmware my phone is on so I suspect I`ve done something wrong.

Annoyingly as I`m a new user I`m unable to post a question in that thread. If anyone can offer any advice I`ll be extremely grateful.

Hi.. Everyone!

I am a new user here..

Soon i will own this phone..

i would like to ask something..

Does the NEW battery need to be charged for 8 hours? It is said new generation of li ion does not need 8 hours charging. However some people, like the sales on samsung mobile, says 8 hours are essential for new battery. Which one should i believe? How many hours should i charge my new battery? Also, is it not a problem if i use the new battery without charging it first (since it has some energy in it)? I know it is a stupid and faq but i really find a lot of contracditory answers.

Hi there,

I'd like to ask a basic question about rom flashing. So far i rooted useing and insecure kernal (ke7) and then gone back to the stock kernal to get rid of the triangle.

I've tried to install rom manager (form the market) but when i try to back up my rom but when it reboots it gives me the error

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I'm led to believe that i need to use cfroot kernal to get a working cwm? Or i read somewhere else its because i don't have an external sd installed?

Does anyone know what i need to do as i want to start backing up before flashing roms!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
I had the exact same issue. The problem is you had put back the Stock kernel again. Please read the Post 2 carefully written by CF. I am sure you didn't copy the zImage of CF kernel to your phone and flashed it after putting the Stock kernel back.

Maybe you should know about custom roms

My advice to SGS 2 owners is do not flash kernels and custom ROMs because SGS 2 does not need. SGS 2 memory is more than enough unlike SGS 1 where the stock version is lagging or requires reboot often. SGS 2 processor is also more than enough for a smartphone. Why Im saying it's not worth flashing your devices with custom ROMs is because they were "developed" by some people as quite enthusiastic amateur and their rom (improperly said "their rom") are unstable (crashes often and/or you must remove the battery to restore it). They attract users with the possibility of installing theme (most often tasteless) and higher scores in Quadrant (about interpreting scores bechmark is another story because a higher score leads to a more unstable ROM or decreesing battery life in a shorter time). Simply you do not need them.

Take care!

What you have said is true, but only from your perspective..

Yes, SGS2 will have less advantage from custom ROMs at this moment compared to the advantages you gain by custom ROMs on a Desire HD, but there are many tweaks needed to SGS2 at the moment..

The phone is a new product and we should give the devs atleast 6 months to come up with 100% finished products. Not to mention there has been some excellent work so far..

I bet even you will change your opinion when Ice cream Sandwitch ROMS are out earlier than the official SGS2 ROMS.. Or atleast when Samsung starts giving more interest to SGS2+ or SGS3 whatever it is, and still you get fantastic and latest ROMs from xda devs..

I do not want to start a debate.. I can see that your opinion is based on you experience and some facts, but there are so many people out there how just love to try different things with the phone...

1 very interesting thing I have noted on my galaxy s2 running Litening 1.5, at my home, I normally would get 4 bars of reception on HSPA / 3G on stock KE7 since I have flashed litening 1.5, it gets 2-3 and here is the interesting part :

When I hold the phone in my hands, the signal drops to 1 or no bars at all and when lying on the bedside, within 15-20 seconds goes upto 4 again. Tried this multiple times, same result.

To confirm this, I even did roughly 10 speed tests using the app, 5 times without holding the phone and 5 when holding it in my hand and alternating between them.

Every time I had it in my hand, it took 237 - 353 ms for a ping and avg 0.04 - 0.14 mbps d/l with the test even failing on 2 occasions. u/l was between 0.02 - 0.47 mbps.

Lying on the bedside (no touching!!), it changed to under 100 ms ping and between 2.91 - 3.52 mbps download. u/l was 0.92 - 1.59, worked on all 5 occasions.

I found this quite weird, in fact I see some other users have reported modem issues on litening 1.5 and I really am not ready to flash v2.0 just for the fact that its not a officially released firmware, anything that can be done to fix this? Never happened on stock!

Running baseband XXKF2 (thats the modem I guess)

My home gets fair reception in terms of 3G, but data speeds have been quite good, have regularly hit 3-5 Mbps speeds on a mobile broadband connection and also 2-3 Mbps from my galaxy s2. This is just not letting me sleep right now!
