[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I am not holding my breath on generalized articles till more specifics are available. Apparently, it contains Honeycomb's holographic UI, and, if it does indeed contain eye candy like that, there's a very slim chance it will work like its completely meant to on a Non GPU and ARMv6 phone like the Wildfire.

Not saying that ICS will / may never be seen on the Wildfire. It probably will come, because, it will be open source, unlike Honeycomb. (PS - This applies only if Wildfire devs remain till then. The way devs are abandoning the Wildfire and upgrading to other devices is a bit scary for the already short future of the Wildfire)

Lastly, this is good news for Wildfire owners who own rootable phones. Nothing for those with newer S-ON HBoots.

Also, this doesnt belong here. This post cannot be 'Dev Related' in anyway I see it.
[Wildfire General] ramdroid77:
They didn't tell that it will work on ALL devices. They wrote on MOST of today's devices, which are probably only the usual high-end-well-known devices. I guess low-end devices like Wildfire will not manage to run it....

DID

say that it work on ALL devices ;)
[Wildfire General] ShyamSasi:
Here is few information about it http://gizmodo.com/5800358/what-is-androids-ice-cream-sandwich

Kind of 3D on Wildfire that going to use OpenGL headtracking i doubt it
[Wildfire General] vilks:
simple question for simple answer:

so will it work on wildfire or not?
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
I don`t have my crystal ball with me, so I`ll go with low to no chances. Maybe a laggy port at most.
[Wildfire General] ramdroid77:
Like it was stated before, there are some hardware requirements for the holographic interface that requires a GPU, which the Wildfire doesn't have. However I think Icecream will run like on most other phones which are supported on xda (hence they usually have a GPU on board)

It's fine for me. I'm gonna have my Xoom soon and see all the fancy stuff, and by the time Icecream is available I could slowly think about replacing my Wildfire... :cool:
[Wildfire General] f0xy:
Heard good things about zoom, enjoy :)
[Wildfire General] djole33:
This is great news
[Wildfire General] ramdroid77:
guys, forget about this hype.... it's just a misinterpretation and it seems everyone is believing it....

Froyo, Gingerbread were also possible to run on any device.... are they available on every phone? NO!

Is Gingerbread officially available for Wildfire? NO!

Will it be officially available for Wildfire soon? NO!

So how come you expect Icecream to be released for Wildfire in any way??? Like written before there will be a custom ROM at best, but due to the missing GPU it will probably suck!

[And please keep in mind: like it was written in another recent thread recently you can't just activate the missing hardware by adding a software driver]
[Wildfire General] pl0ppy:
It will probably suck.... yeah yeah.... that's what you guys said when Gingerbread was out. And guess what? The devs proved you wrong. It may have a kind of fallback mode for slow devices.
[Wildfire General] imkr:
You're right pal!

Even now I'm still suck with Stock ROM.

All I expect now just able to root it again or looking for another higher spec.
[Wildfire General] mtnhan1996:
They said that It would work on every devices dude, that's why it's different from honeycomb.

That's the reason why I said it was a great new
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You are missing his point. Google said it will work, but, the end decision rests on HTC, which is what he was trying to point out.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
@mtnhan1996 . Seems like u r thinking ice-cream will be officially ported to wildfire (skipping the official gingerbread update). ---------- NO, it will never happen.

And official updates do not just depend on the google's statements. They depend on the device brand to a large extent. That is why GOOGLE branded devices will be updated much earlier and brands like SE will have late/no updates.

And one more thing to recollect is we didn't even had a non-buggy gingerbread sense custom rom yet. And we cant expect htc to give an os update to wildfire without newer htc sense. So, no way with the official update.
[Wildfire General] CosmicDan:
By "all devices" they would mean all CURRENT devices, and by the time ICS is out the Wildfire will probably be obsolete.

Maybe CM8 will be ICS though.
[Wildfire General] CJKaufman:
Um what would this be 2.4 2.5 I'm curious about this update
[Wildfire General] CJKaufman:
Oh and what is ICS sorry new to rooting
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
ICS stands for Ice Cream Sandwich :-)

Hi everyone

this mroning, showing my new phone to a friend a discover a big crack on right side.

the crack start from the power button to the back.

the crack ends in a slot for the backcover. it's a zoen where the phoen is very slim

i'm in contact with the vendor about that...

http://img715.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=dsc06073a.jpg
[Galaxy S II General] momagic:
Are you sure you didn't do it yourself? Or did it happen naturally?

Perhaps you had it in a tight pocket or maybe you gripped the phone too tight?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
this genuinely sucks.

please update us on what you hear from the vendor.

I bet there was some kind of abuse - either you sat with the phone in the back pocket of your tight jeans ;) or the phone is so packed with sh1t that it cracks from internal pressure, especially when it is heated up by an hour of charging and simultaneous playing some heavy 3D game.
[Galaxy S II General] bcam117:
I HAD THE SAME CRACK ON MY GALAXY S 1.

I think it happens when you open the battery cover. Well thats the impression I got.

Edit: Didn't realise it was actually on the phone and not the battery cover, silly me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dranzergiggs:
Hey guys. I am experiencing the most strange battery problem ever. I am on Darky 10 RC6 with ZSJPG modem. Now I wanted to calibrate my battery so I completely used it till it switched off, turned it on again but it switched off completely indicating that the battery was finished.

Then I plugged in the charger while the phone was off and it started charging. After 5 hours it was still not fully charged, i waited another couple of hours but still not and then when I plugged out the charger and plugged it back again it drained to around 25 % .. I switched on my phone and it shows me a different battery meter everytime I reboot or start again and its not even charging at a good speed now. Please help

Now the phone vibrates in a while by itself and everytime I reboot, I have a massive battery drain of around 10 percent and if I charge my phone it charges so slow, like 4 percent in 1 hour :s

And now ive unplugged the charger and actually the battery meter is increasing. It has increased from 18 to 24 in 20 mins :s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Are you charging by the mains charger or the USB charger ??

how long has this been happening for ? its more likely to be an issue with the rom.

if it bothers you that much, Return to stock rom and compare battery drain..

if battery life is a lot better with stock, the problem is darkys rom, so i would switch to something else.

maybe make your own in the romkitchen.org
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dranzergiggs:
I am charging from the main charger, not the usb. It did not happen before, as I have been on the darky Rom since a few months. Even this Rom was flashed 2 weeks ago, this just started last night when I drained the battery the first time to calibrate it, i put it on charge all night only to find it stuck on 75 % after 6 hours or so, when I unplugged the charger and turned on the phone, the battery drained to 25% and that is when all these strange things have started to happen :s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
have you tried to wipe battery stats ??

you should do this AFTER calibrating the battery,

otherwise the battery can give false information due to it being confused about its actual percentage
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dranzergiggs:
Yes I did, and that has made things worse as the battery meter is now increasing and the phone vibrating after a while by itself when I have the charger plugged in :s .. I think I might need to reflash with a stock Gingerbread ROM and take it from there .. What do you suggest?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
I owned the previous Galaxy S 16GB but ended up returining it due to the pathetic GPS performance after getting tired of all the pseudo-fixes and rumours flying around. The nasty rfs filesystem lag also didn't help.

Somewhat lost confidence in normal reviews after that. Fortunately I was able to return the device after 1 month but am now curious about the SGS2.

Have anyone tested GPS results in a consistent, detailed way? (not just the usual comments bout fast fixes and how well it works with navigation apps that snap - more like detailed tracks).

Tried searching but to no good result.

Other than the GPS and Lag issues, I had no major complaints about the SGS1 (you can add the lack of flash led and notification light but those are somewhat solved in SGS2).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmchu:
GPS issues on the SGS 2

The GPS in SGS2 is OK. However, it take 2 to 4 minutes to get satellite fixed from cold start and also often no signal in doors (eg, in your office or inside your house).

You can try to stick a piece of kitchen Aluminum Foils (about 6x9 cm) on the interior side of the battery cover, which may enhance the reception of the GPS in your SGS2. your can also try this in SGS1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netrider01:
In comparison to Quarx Cyanogen Mod on the Moto Defy, the Galaxy S2´s GPS fix is slow and little unstable. Sometimes I´m about 50meters away from my real position on google maps.

I think it could and should be optimized.

Tested hot and cold but for fix and works .

Tested general location works .

Tested My Tracks works .

A slightly better GPS than my SGS1 which worked .

Actual details feet inched sats and metres sorry dont get involved in that argument any more . As those with poor GPS just accuse you of lying if you have no problems .Plus who can keep track of the multiple posts saying exactly the same thing .Post tracks and someone will start yet another post next day .

Their are a couple of detailed tests around including on here .

Clove.co.uk Blog has a detailed test from a member .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJGibbon:
If you want detailed tracks, then there are a couple on my post here, but that whole thread will be of interest - other people dump some tracks a few days after me. My traces compare a Desire and the SGS2 sittin side-by-side on the passenger seat of the car, and are equally good.

Overall I'm very pleased with the GPS, it's certainly perfectly good for real world navigation. If you need <5m accuracy for specialist tasks, you might have some problems, but that's not confirmed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Seen them. By SGS 1 standards they look unbelievable, definitely good enough for my needs, which are basically normal car navigation (including in fairly complex urban areas at slow speeds) and some occasional walking navigation.

I also checked Clove's blog review and a couple more tracks and it got the impression that the SGS2 has a working GPS.

Got burnt really bad by the SGS1 and the way Samsung never got to fix it tho (or even somehow recall units) and I'm a bit sceptic about risking money again as I might not be able to return it this time.

Still, those tracks to look great... and it seems the lag issue is gone too. Tempting...

Would have to be much better than 'slightly better' in my case... my SGS1 was unable to drive me out of the block. :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Slightly better as in the tracks posted you mention are much the same as my SGS2 tracks .

SGS1 tracks much the same except not as accurate on bends and they would snap to the side of the road rather than the centre . But 100% usable as GPS .

Just carried out a cold boot GPS test 4mins 8 satellites locked .

As i see it most had no problem SGS1 and likewise SGS2 .

But some did and some have and no real reason why .

i get indoor fix within 20 seconds. I have used CoPilot for a 50 mile journey, and it is more stable than it was on my hero, which used to lose satelite reception until i restarted copilot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I used MyTracks yesterday for a hike and it was dead on. I got a lock in about 10-15 seconds and had up to 4 meter accuracy. I am used to my Captivate where the closest accuracy I got was 40m and would go up to 1200m accuracy. I am very happy with SGS2's GPS to be honest
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
I have been testing an SGS2 for 4 days now and share your impression. It holds on to locks pretty well and its accuracy appears to at least match my stand-alone little Holux GPS receiver (old SiRF III unit). It's no wonder, but it's good enough for car navigation, perhaps even for walking, but probably not for precise geocaching. Overall, from what I've seen from it so far, I have to say I'm pleased that this time Samsung got it right.

It appears to be a lot better than the disastrous SGS 1 (couldn't hold to locks, terrible accuracy, useless GPS).

I'm a bit lazy to post MyTracks paths right now but can do it later if anyone needs to see some.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slikkie:
I have been struggeling to get GPS to work on ICS for a few days but nothing worked. Not any fix worked. Then i discovered that the slick plastic battery cover i bought in China

contained a metallic paint. As soon as i put the original battery cover on GPSWas faaaaaast and accurate. So for those who have problems getting stable GPS, remove any protective cases or battery covers and try again!

Bumping because I just had this same problem with a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 international from Telcel in Mexico running stock ROM.

I literally didn't even know of the existence of Screen Filter until now, so what worked was stopping every single app that was drawing overlays: Facebook inbox, GO Power Master, SuperSU and Battery Mix (it draws a discrete little bar at the top of the screen indicating your remaining battery). Now it works all fine.

The lesson here is that if you can't install .apk's, you have to disable EVERY SINGLE APP THAT DRAWS OVERLAYS, starting with the ones you currently have running, then the ones that could draw overlays: in my case, GO Power Master draws one when the phone heats or when battery runs low, SuperSU pops the kdesudo-like dialog, and Facebook inbox has pop-up Chat Heads.
