give it a rest this thread has nothing relevent to apple so if u wish to talk about apples product then please find the relevent department here:http://forum.iphone-developers.com/
[Galaxy S II General] spline1:
any changes? but only the number from xe2 to xe7 ?
[Galaxy S II General] mobilemaduk:
I was being sarcastic. Wish Sammy would release change notes
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Updated mine was ke2 on kies no probs im unlocked from phones 4 U, not sure whats changed apart from the music hub icon..

Be nice to know if anything has changed
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Too early to tell but Samsung Apps has been updated.
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Damn, it seems one has to be on KE2 to update...

Unless, KE7 is an exclusive update for KE2 owners and does not really change much, just fixes issues introduced in KE2?

I don't suppose they would omit KE1 users just like that?
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:

[Galaxy S II General] TML1504:
how to flash?

whole file with odin as "pda"?

or somehow else?

thx!
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
I have rooted just fine.

P.S. the tarball from http://nma.usk.bz/sgs2.php is somewhat corrupted and will fail in ODIN, just rebuild your own. (If you want to reflash the stock kernel after rooting)
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Put phone in download mode & open Odin, choose extracted file for "PDA" and then click start :).

I didn't tried this one, waiting for IntraTech's.
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:
cheers mate :)
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:

[Galaxy S II General] simonk83:
Thanks Intratech :)
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
updated w/new Kies, added OC kernal and rooted w/one click

unlocked and using ATT, no issues, everything works, OC 1504
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
There's something new in battery usage, at least I didn't have this before, "Android Core Applications" in addition to "Android OS" & "Android System"(not sure about all translations).
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Apologies. I hadn't realised you had become the Moderator of this forum.
[Galaxy S II General] jsomby:
How did you get it thru Kies?
[Galaxy S II General] testacc22:
Just updated through KIES with my phone (from Carphone Warehouse, with Orange UK). From KE1 (haven't updated since I received phone, so this was already there) to KE7 about 10 minutes ago.

Only thing I've immediately noticed is a new application - "Orange Plus".

Hopefully this fixes the phone getting really really hot on the back (mainly with new apps/services). But I think it's just the app's not being optimized to the phone, not the phones fault!
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
adding widgets is different

works like promotional videos
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
dock has transparent back ground

wallpaper still added the same as before
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
screen appears different

Widgets no longer stretch to the edges of the screen. Icons appear smaller. More frequent brightness changes.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Auto-Brightness change is something I also noticed - it's better.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Is it me or is there more ram free on startup
[Galaxy S II General] ka2uki:
wow!!ban!

ram useable up to 837M ,get more 5M RAM for use, TW4 work carzy smooth!!!smoother than KE2!!
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:

[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
yes u can just flash :D
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
Are people wiping after this or just using it with it installed on top of there last setup.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
useing it on top of my last setup, with tb - frozen apps, and launcher pro
[Galaxy S II General] dman2266:
@vimto

@vimto thanks will do that now
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
with KE7, i recorded a min video on FHD, transferred few files with kies air, and poked around a bit. Battery is still 100%, before it would always drop at least 1 % hopefully the battery is good now

ps: audio quality is still not good 16KHz
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
Thanks that is what I usually do.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
100% always stays longer as the other %, for example 99%.
[Galaxy S II General] mobilemaduk:
I was on KE1 before I updated
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
Wow just noticed on Ke7 the phone will even cook for u, lay the table and wash dishes after... what a great update
[Galaxy S II General] iamsirhc:
Bat Life

Battery life seems longer now.
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
Yes, also picture for background adjustments has changed
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm getting rid of the money dispensing agent that usually does this for me currently then. :D
[Galaxy S II General] MaTiCeK-:
Does the new firmware fix the m4a audio album tags not being recognized correctly?
[Galaxy S II General] FPRobber:
I have an Austrian GS2 and am currently running KE2 and Kies claims that's the latest firmware. I wonder why, KE2 was updated simultaneously in Austria and UK.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Why, who hates Apple? I was merely correcting your mistake.

Anyway, back on topic.
[Galaxy S II General] gareth7o9:
I hate to burst your bubble but smartphones were being used way before iPhone. RIM, Palm and HTC to name a few, all made great devices. It's just the time wasn't right for the masses.

All Apple essentially did, was dumb down the smartphone to make it easier for mass consumption.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
thus creating a huge market for smartphones, which allowed companies such as Google, Samsung or HTC to launch their own products.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
So about this new firmware thing lads.........
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Not create, no. Expand.

Anyway, as said, let's get back to the subject.
[Galaxy S II General] davidoff08:
If u want to talk about apple will u please join the apple forum. u are SPOILING it for others
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I think I will wait until VillainRom is updated to include this. It doesn't seen like there is anything drastically new.
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
Things i've noticed are;

- Auto-brightness isn't as choppy/make huge changes, much smoother.

- Battery life seems to be fairing a bit better.

- Phone seems speedier;

On KE1 my average quadrant score was 3,100. On KE7 the average score is 3,500.

On KE1 my average smartbench 2011 score was 3,700/2,200. Now my average is 4,000/2,400.

Haven't noticed anything else yet.

*EDIT*

- GPS is more accurate. Before I'd get Accurate to 22m-28m. Now I get accurate to 8m-14m.

*EDIT 2*

- Pink spot on the camera is MUCH MUCH less pronounced! Almost impossible to see it.

*EDIT 3*

- When the phone boots up there is more RAM free than before. On KE1 after turning the phone on, RAM usage would be at ~330mb/837mb. But now on startup its about 280mb/837mb. And when you click "clear memory" it free's up more RAM than it used to.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Have about the same findings as you drm111. Got a higher quadrant score than before the update and got a gps signal a place in my apartment where I didn't got it before (not near any windows, concrete etc).

As for the scores I got 3100 or thereabouts on KDD (last time I ran quadrant) and 3300 with KE7, didn't stop any programs or do anything special to speed up quadrant on either tries.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Installed it, display is still 16 bits and the touchscreen still has a threshold before detecting movement, and pink spot on the camera is as noticeable as ever.

Now waiting for the next update...

So about that apple thing, I was about to say... (j/k :D)
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
android OS usage still as high as before. i guess we must wait until 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
Only 7% for me.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
Isn't the touchscreen threshold intentional to make it easier to press something without scrolling at the same time?

drm111:

Total RAM before upgrade was 833 btw and not 837
[Galaxy S II General] nhat2991:
I just flashed to KE7 and noticed that my CSC is switched to Unknown. Is it important to have a CSC number or I can just ignore it?
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Definitely intentional, but still a little annoying imho, especially since I NEVER had a problem pressing or long pressing something with my Nexus One. But I think it will be "fixed" by devs rather than samsung.

Same goes for the delay on the home button : it's intentional to allow you to double click it, but really annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
I would rather have a larger touch treshold than go back to the N1 touchscreen tbh :p (still have it as my backup phone)

You have a delay when you click the home button? How long are we talking here, 1 second or 0.1 seconds? I probably have 0.1 - 0.2s delay after I press the home button at least.

Noticed a new thing with the update as well. When on a phone call and you move it away from your face to hang up or whatever the screen turns on much quicker.
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
lucky you. my android os usage time is 8 minutes per hour
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
Oh my mistake, I figured total RAM was the same on the old version. Well then, we've gained 4mb of usable RAM ;P
[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
No biggie ;)
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
Have to disagree with the gps now. It is horrible. Completely off.

Here is my today's run with gps on:

http://runkeeper.com/user/AndyE82/activity/36304619 You can guess twice whether or not I went swimming couple of times there..

And this is before:

http://runkeeper.com/user/AndyE82/activity/35331916

Now this gps is so bad, that I cannot use this. Samsung you suck..
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
Yup, around 0.2sec but it's very noticeable for me. For example if you launch the browser and click "back" to get back to the homescreen it's much quicker than hitting the home button.

Once again it's not a big deal, but something that could be improved since I don't use the voice recognition thingy.
[Galaxy S II General] zen123:
Wifi reception for me has improved a bit. At my desk at work I was consistently getting a fluctuating 0-1 bar before, whereas now I'm getting a solid 1 bar. Not only that it seems to be faster as well.

Will be testing the 3g radio on the way home later.
[Galaxy S II General] Ciddy:
Looks like I should switch to the CSC:KEX (XEU) to get timely updates... I'm on CSC:KE2 (DBT) (german i guess) and it don't show no update in Kies...

But how to switch?

ETA: Whoopsie, my browser hadn't updated and was showing 3 posts when I posted - sorry, pls delete if redundant!
[Galaxy S II General] D4rK.F0rcE:
Wifi has definitely improved, having now 2 instead of 1 bar. Also checked wifi analyzer, which now shows much more other wireless networks and a better reception.

However, I noticed that clicking the "home"-button while being in the application view, doesn't show transition animation. Instead it abruptly shows the homescreen with a short "lag". Can someone confirm?
[Galaxy S II General] drm111:
Yep exactly the same for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Nuhvok:
I have that too on KE1 when its charging. My phone is working perfectly on KE1 so I'm not updating 'til they got everything fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Is this measured during idle time?

I'm still not understanding why everyone uses the percentage value since it's relative to how the phone was used.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
That isn't my finding at all. I deliberately performed a wifi analyser test in my house as far away from the router as possible before flashing and after flashing and the signal strength was identical in both cases. Namely -65dB.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Does this ROM require the new radio version, or is it fine without? Anyone tried?
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
If you want I can repackage just the modem for YOU to try. :p

[Galaxy S II General] poofish:
The game Zenonia 2 force closes on me after updating to KE7. Can anyone else confirm this?

EDIT: Nevermind, some of the permissions of the game were wrong, namely, I had blocked it from connecting to the internet, which caused the force close. Everything is working now that I restored the original permissions.
[Galaxy S II General] Ciddy:
Just flashed KE7, rooted and reflashed KE7 kernel. All works fine.

However in KIES I get the following Software info for my phone now:

PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (DBT)

and it says "This version of the device cannot be updated". No biggie as I may just have to flash back to the KE2 or just wait for the DBT update to hit I guess.
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
Mines the oppsite.

32M on battery:

display 39% at 8m

Android OS 36% at 3m

android System 7% at 22sec

via android booster, power consumption manager android.providers.subscribedfeeds is 13% and is the highest battery user. First time ive seen that as the culprit though.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Don't use android booster, it'll just give the first process he got from Android OS, not the battery drainer.
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
Ah, thanks for the heads up. What would you recommend?
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Well I think none can genuinely extract this info, since Google consider it(Android system) as 1 battery drainer :/.
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
I would say KE7 is WORSE than KE2 for me. Maybe it needs to re-calc or something but, since my first post. Android OS is at 4m, 38%, with 45min on battery with wifi connection enabled.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Yup got the same feeling, KE7 is more battery drainer than KE2.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
me too. maybe a factory reset is in order.
[Galaxy S II General] LondonGemini:
I hope not as this battery issue is getting silly!
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
sigh. I really dont feel like doing this again.
[Galaxy S II General] rocketpaul:
Or you could run the battery flat and charge it up to 100 again, maybe that will help. I will probably reset, its long over due for me lol.
[Galaxy S II General] Bawezy:
Could it not be the new security update that Google keeps boasting about for their Android handsets.

Why not? Sony Ericsson have introduced it to their phones already, I was assuming it was Samsung's turn.
[Galaxy S II General] chargen2:
I was actually able to do the update via Kies! With KE2 I kept getting the DLL error and had to use ODIN.
[Galaxy S II General] earthdome:
i feel the same. battery is draining faster than before. i even did a factory reset
[Galaxy S II General] Ciddy:
Did you get a proper fix before that last run or was it just "Update'n'Go"?

I just updated to KE7 and after downloading AGPS data, GPS Status registered 35s for initial fix. After that, it is between 10 and 20 s. Nothing to be proud of though.

There seems to be a overly active GPS-killswitch, as switching from Maps to GPS Status directly (via long home press) looses a fix while not moving and having a 9/9 fix before.
[Galaxy S II General] darkalchemist:
Hmmm, at first, it seemed to be draining faster for me but then it sort of levelled out a bit. Probably threw the calibration off a bit when I flashed at 50% battery.
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
Oh I had this pre-installed on my replacement I got today after KE2 ****ed up my phone.

Only change I've spotted is the new 'Music Hub' icon.
[Galaxy S II General] bakewelluk:
Yeah, pressing the home button while in the application menu does the same for me (not that I can massively remember what it did before - I'm guessing the standard transition animation). Shame, it works fine but doesn't look quite as slick as the animations.
[Galaxy S II General] robstunner:
Ill stick with this until someone posts a positive finding with the factory reset. With KE2, I had the same battery life in a concrete building for 24 hours bouncing from E to 3G, as I do with full bars on Wifi for a day at home. It got to be the wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] JF-GINO:
Hey guys, about battery - Both on ke1 and ke2 I was getting such poor battery.

I rooted both firmwares and my battery got worse.

Remember guys that your battery log needs to be re-calibrated. There is no clockworks or bat-cal wipe so when your root your phone, download cattery calibration, charge to 100% and calibrate.

My battery would last only half the day for me before. now it stays at 88% after 4 hours of use.

BTW, can I flash this new modem (radio) on any firmware?

I have 3g speed issues and my signal drops allot.
[Galaxy S II General] Phk:
Hey guys, speed me up on catching info:

Are the latest updates rootable?!

I have KDD and i will root it in a few minutes.

After that i will install Kies and do OTA updating.

Are the new roms rootable?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] darkalchemist:
You may as well update first then root otherwise you will have to re-root after updating. KE7 is rootable via the same method as the other roms.
[Galaxy S II General] prophet42:
Personally I can definately say I've noticed a difference on KE7 with regards to battery life.

I know everyone has different usage, and may or may not have calibrated their battery, but as I haven't changed any apps or settings the difference is clear for me.

Hell on 2 I only had to type three text messages and the battery would drop down a % or 3.

I charged to 100%, had the phones wireless and bluetooth switched on for 3 hours, type 5 text messages, tried to install a couple of new themes (unsuccsessfully I might add), transferred 3 zip files using kies air, answered a facebook notification on a post I made earlier and it's now on 98%.

Sounds like low phone usage I know, but before I would easily have gone down to 93% for that after 3 hours (and that's without the bluetooth switched on, transferring the files or trying to apply any themes and playing about with a few menus).

Only bad thing I have noticed is Adfree doesn't work anymore. Phone is rooted, program permissions are there, it's just not working for some reason. Oh well.
[Galaxy S II General] Raspster:
Guys, I thought the same thing about battery life after the KE2 update. Then after a day of draining the battery dry, I charged over night, and things were fine. I think this is a combo of us using our devices more to find changes and using more battery and also the battery needed a re-calibration. I seriously don't see any difference in battery from KE2 to KE7. Also, as an FYI... The GTalk mod for video chat also works with KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] kar111:
Still no offical O2 update from kies!!! Hesitant to flash KE7 over odin as some people have been encountering problems
[Galaxy S II General] ziggazee:
Battery seems to have gotten worse, one hour of light usage with flight mode on and the battery its already on 88% usually it would last more than 2 hours with all cellular connections running. Also the android os is back on top.
[Galaxy S II General] rojdag:
So any idea if 3uk will get this update. Still on ke1.
[Galaxy S II General] Lordsauron:
Got about the same result
