Im doing alright on this new firmware, 5hrs 4mins on battery and im still on 92%. Thats with wifi, gps, live wallpaper, email sync every 30mins, facebook and twitter sync every hour and popping in and out of paradise island every now and then. Seems to be holding up well at the moment, im quite impressed.
[Galaxy S II General] Vozie_Stockholm:
Swede here would I be ok with international firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] r_you168:

Upgraded Swedish with international firmware, all well as far as I can see in an hour's worth.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
My phone signal activity bar shown in the phone usage page is now showing yellow. Was always green before and as a result, I am also having quicker battery drain, probably from the phone trying to boost the signal. Interestingly, phone reception is a full 4 bars still eventhough the phone signal activity is yellow. :( Anyone see this too or have advice?
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
I too have the all yellow bar for phone signal but mine changed to this when i upgraded to Ke2. It was green before, i work right next to a phone mast and get full signal all day but at home it is quite weak, one or two bars but the colour remains constant yellow all day.
[Galaxy S II General] mlhdk:
NEE - anybody got the KE7 update via KIES ????

Have anybody running on NEE got the new update (KE7) via KIES yet ?????
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
So what's the bottom line here? Is KE7 worth upgrading to? Seems like more problems created than solved :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] KULASSE:
Yes similar
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A few users will report problems the vast majority don't .

2 whole seconds i ask you who the f888 go around measuring stuff like that .

Your choice personally i upgrade .

But the old saying if its perfe3ct dont upgrade holds true as well .

[Galaxy S II General] yenkoh:
its said that i have updated finware which is ke2? why is that?
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
I installed KE7 last night and so far the battery seems to have improved. Normally when I unplug my phone from the mains and do some things like check the news, facebook etc the battery would go down to 99 or 98% straight away. I tried the same today connected to wifi with GPS on and all normal sync settings that I had before and after 3 hours the battery is still saying 100%.
[Galaxy S II General] mljjlm:
Newest NEE is still KE2
[Galaxy S II General] daveok:
Two differences I have noticed from stock Vodafone UK -> KE7 are....

1) I cannot now configure browser to identify itself as anything other than Android Mobile. This stops me using BBC Iplayer or the F1 videos page using the Vodafone network (both worked well before when the browser was configured accordingly). Also stops me using non-mobile version of Google Maps (mobile version misses the option to send locations directly to car sat nav).

2) Bluetooth Message Access Profile has been updated allowing my car to now display and read out text messages. Email messages via Activesync are still not displayed though.

Any suggested fixes or workarounds welcome.

[Galaxy S II General] daveok:
OK. I am new to Android so everyone else probably knew about Skyfire as an alternative browser that seems to make the video better than ever. Not so good for the maps though.
[Galaxy S II General] jonkrav:
When I go into Kies it says I am on KE2 and that this is the latest firmware, do I really have to wait forever for o2 to release their own firmware for it each time?
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Yes.

Or... root + custom ROM or unbranded stock ROM = no wait :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonkrav:
Looks like I may have to do that :(
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Got any shortcut to remove the notification bar when you view flash fullscreen.
[Galaxy S II General] jamieyates79:
I'm running KE7 after debranding and rooting my new SGS2. I did a factory reset afterwards and battery life has been okay, although I have had issues with wifi sharing battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] daveok:
Thanks rocketpaul. I'd been trying with about:debug which didn't work so about:useragent is useful. Unfortunately, it doesn't store the change and so needs to be set and the cache cleared before every iplayer session.
[Galaxy S II General] trulli79:
Why aren't they delivering Firmware for different areas at the same time?

I'm Waiting for NEE version like many other Nordic guys out there. Do you have any clue if Samsung's gonna bring out 2.3.4 in near future or never?
[Galaxy S II General] peter212693:
Awesome man thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
You need to ask Samsung we never know until it arrives .

Most firmware upgrades are via phone provider not Samsung and that's where the delay is .

[Galaxy S II General] Flowlance:
Seems like I can't update or check my firmware version.. There's no firmware section in kies, wth

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
What is your current firmware .

Current supplied from most providers is KE2 Samsung have supplied them with KE7 since .

Or:

But there's no upgrade to KE7 available via Kies in Norway yet.
[Galaxy S II General] Flowlance:
Seems like my kies is bugged then lol. In preferences -> update, i only see the kies version. And when i go to Tools>firmware upgrade settings, nothing happens.. xD
[Galaxy S II General] Vozie_Stockholm:
After flasing KE7 with Odin - "this firmware can't...

Kies now says "this firmware can't be upgrade" - no biggie, will use Odin - but strange anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
That happened to me to. i turned phone off then back on again then connected to KIES and it showed an update ...

Sorry wrong post oppppsss

I have just got my sgs2 yesterday from 3 denmark and they r so slow to give me a update to KE2!! so I use Odin and upgrade to KE7 now the battery is much better and phone a a little bit faster then KE1 :D the best is this KE7 generic version still has nordic keyboard and langauge!! Sweet!

Hi, guys. After KE7 my battery runs better, but I found one very annoying problem. I have Cyberon Voice Speed Dial and I want to use it as defaul voice application, but each time I double click the home button, the build in voice commander starting. I've checked in Settings/Manage applications for Clear Defaults of Voice Commander, but this button is inactive (gray). Any advices are highly appriciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Vozie_Stockholm:
Swedish localization here with international ROM haven't noticed any difference to generic ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] wuffa:
lockscreen wallpaper quality is now awful (if you change it after update!) :(
[Galaxy S II General] Bajaj_86:
How is everybody battery life?

I have just updated to KE7. After fully charge it went down 15% in one hour. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Had issues with battery drain when I was in an area with lower reception strength and wifi sharing in the background was chewing heaps of battery power. Use OS monitor to check what is using up the CPU cycles.
[Galaxy S II General] Bajaj_86:
Another thing that i discover is that in battery usage, the display uses 60%. This never happen on KE2.

Anybod having the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Just noticed that on KE7, I am missing the bluetooth file transfer which I used to have and use on the original firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] trs020382:
My GS2 is on three UK, and is running KE1. Tried to do the update on Kies and it's showing as being on the latest firmware.

Any ideas how quickly three get their updates out?
[Galaxy S II General] AaronUK:
I can't help you with your question but I had the same problem with KE7 with an O2 handset.

If you de-brand your handset to UK SIM free you will not have this problem any more.
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
i wont call it a problem ...my understanding is that display should be consuming the most power...unless the handset is being used for CPU intensive activities such as playing games and watching high-def video..

60% display means...the rest of the stuff are using only 40% power...(the lower the better)

all in all you should consider how much battery life you are getting out of a full charge
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
How do you do this?
[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
I believe Chainfire has an app to do it. Root required.

Search Chainfire on market, can't miss it. Good luck.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sarpsuerdas:
Hi there,

Has anybody noticed that there is no Peep in the Flyer? It actually is installed and you can see it from the "manage apps" menu, but it is not in the menu and when I launch the Peep Trends widget it comes up empty because no Peep was configured. It works perfectly fine on my Desire HD, though.

And one more thing, on the HTC Flyer it was presented with skype in the middle of the bottom dock and yet there is no skype support for it really. Does anyone have any idea what other software can be used for video calling between Android and PC?

Thanks..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] upperkingjr:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] masterslacker:
I can confirm that this method worked for me. The online backup/restore option in the app DID NOT work for me - I had to manually copy the .lua files from one device to the next, and put them in the main folder of the sdcard.

[Thunderbolt General] Ckamc:
A few time during my reboots of my phone I would notice that my speaker volume during the boot animation would not be as loud as some of the brand new devices I sell in store.

However whenever I am updating to a new version of a rom I would notice it kick right back up, then to later reduce to almost nothing over the course of a few days.

Is there anything a rooted user can do beyond the factory settings menu to get the volume corrected? It becomes especially annoying while watching a video. Have to carry headphones with me just to enjoy them.

Running BAMF 1.6.3

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] friendly.stranger:
Hello Frendz,

I am not very used to these forums and I hope it is not a problem to seek help in this general discussion forum.

So, yesterday HTC sent an upgrade to the factory default OS (i.e. 2.2 froyo) on my DHD and I happily upgraded to 2.3 Gingerbread. Now, before updating I had permanent root access on my desire through Visionary but just after the update I realised I do not have root anymore.

I would appreciate any comments and other experiences in this matter. Also, during my own research I came across Gingerbreak which is probably the best around for this purpose but am not keen to use it as it formats the SD card in process. Any suggestions on Gingerbreak's performance are also welcome.

I have a stock captivate running 2.2. Every time I reboot my phone it vibrates like something is force closing but no dialog pops up. Is this normal? If not how can I determine what is force closing. It takes about 5 min to become usable after being turned on.

The only other problem I have is the crappy GPS and it is kinda laggy.
[Captivate General] little8020:
Is it factory stock 2.2 or for you install stock 2.2

If so possibly something when wrong on the install, try it again

Stock is most likely going to have crappy GPS and lag so that's sadly normal

[Captivate General] morpheus_1987:
I had the same problem and booting up took over 20+ minutes of it just vibrating every so often indicating FCs. I think I gave up and factory reset mine after it wasn't ready to use after waiting for an hour. It fixed it for me.

I think my problem was when I upgraded from Stock 2.1 to 2.2, something bad happened but I can't remember accurately what it was. I think some how my phone was in download mode when my microusb wasn't connected or something. I just remember the phone showing do not disconnect but I had cable in one had and phone in the other lol.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnackPackler:
Wondering if anyone has managed to solve the problem of video files restarting when being pulled from a windows share?

Using GT P1000

Tried CIFSManager... wouldn't mount the share. "Mounting has failed. No such device."

Tried a menagerie of other apps also to no avail.

ES File Explorer seems to be the best and most simple way to get the job done BUT, the videos restart when coming across from a windows network.

Any help would be appreciated...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haksam:
CIFS manager is a pile of dung, stick to Mount Manager.

works on N1, sgs and sgt
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnackPackler:
I feel like... a complete douchesocket :(

10 hours were spent today rolling through ap after ap after ap. ES Share, Mount Manager, CIFSManager and others. There was talk of kernel modification, firmware updates and all kinds of unrequired hoodoo, when all it took to stream video flawlessly from a Windows network to a Samsung Galaxy Tab was AllShare.

AllShare.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilovemyjasjar:
I couldn't get Allshare to work (spent many hours trying), however, I did find File Expert worked although it only allowed me to watch from the beginning, I couldn't click through the video to the place I wanted.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnackPackler:
AllShare can be a little bit confusing to start with as not everything sets up as it should by default. However, it's brilliant as it's a) free b) included c) doesn't require rooting or any other system mods, hacks or work arounds to operate. Indexing the shared folders also can be a little slow, depending on how many files are in said folders.

I think though it could be made a little more obvious... the tiny bit of documentation that came with the galaxy didn't mention it. The only reason I even noticed was because, out of frustration, I read the back of the box the Galaxy came in :P
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haksam:
i will be checking out all share soon, but Moboplayer + Astro File manager seems to be a flawless combination for me, the vid quality is almost 1 to 1.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getihga54:
Thx for the hint, AllShare works good for me with SD AVIs on an external USB HDD connected to a Win7 PC. I use the streaming function of WM12. Unfortunately it cannot play my MKVs.

But AVIs play much better and smoother than before. And i tested a lot of combinations: cifs with cifs manager, smb from es file explorer and ghost explorer, stock video player as well as mobo player. None of them played correctly. Stuttering with cifs and smb just plays some seconds before video jumps to the beginning and plays again.

Now, streaming and playing with AllShare seems to be good.
