How to use google voice guided navigation in India? any method to work out?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
There are some modified Google maps API, which will enable you worldwidenavigation. Not sure if it support voice too

Use Brut Maps. Mod for Google Maps. Navigation works flawlessly! Search XDA.

Who using 2.3.6 how is the battery life
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Same like KJ1 or any 2.3.5 ROM.

Only difference I am noticing is the number 6 instead of 5 :P

Guys no custom power saving option . Kya karu..

Sent From My World's Most Powerfull Smartphone Ever
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Click Power saving mode on at and set it to 30% and select wifi or other features and you want to stop after battery going to 30%
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I just don't understand the propose of power saving mode in GS2. All it shows is the recycle icon in the notification bar even when the said limit had not reached. For example I choose 10% as the limit and enable the power saving mode. That annoying icon shows even when the battery is 80% or any %!

And I did not find much difference between the power saving mode enabled and disabled.

Can someone shed some light on both above matters?

And also I'm using swype now and man its so inaccurate even when I set the speed vs accuracy bar to the right most side! Why?

Edit: I think I have a problem with the back touch sensitive key. Its not as sensitive as the menu key. :( I have to tap it to work instead of just placing my finger on it :(

how on earth does that app work? i am completely lost here. betterbatterystats
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Take your time and go through each of the menu, and then most importantly you will see HELP section in the menu. It will explain almost everything properly. I learnt through that.

However briefly its like this. Look the partial wake locks section, then go through the apps, the top most app is the one that is not letting the phone to go to deep sleep. You must see if any third party app is listed and take action on that. Most of them will be system apps, I think you can fix it via changing ROMS (right guys? )

Also check out the others section in the app, and look through awake and screen on. If awake is more than screen on then some app is not letting the device to go to deep sleep. If it is reverse you are using your phone a lot and the phone obviously cannot go to deep sleep :p but then too must check the partial wake locks .

Just read the help guide built in the app then you will use it well.

@ harsha

The power saving actually down throttles the CPU and voltage aggressively regardless of our manual setings, once the battery reaches the threshold limit I can see lag visibly.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Hmmm okay dint observe that. Thanx. Also I would like to know about the power saving icon in notification bar even when the threshold limit is not reached?

Hello everyone. :) I guess I am too late to join the party. I have been a silent reader and have been modding the sgs2 since the first week of release in India.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Thanks a ton man! I've just been playing with SetCPU but I'm pretty confused.

1) What exactly do the max & min sliders on the main screen do?

2) Should I be using these to set the global range for the processor frequency?

3) So, say I want to OC to 1.4GHz then do I just slide the max value to 1400000?

4) Also the voltage tab has settings upto 1.6GHz, does that mean the freq can go upto 1.6GHz or is it capped by the value on the main screen?

5) The min value on the main screen is at 200MHz, do leave this as it is?

6) What is device selection in the menu. I chose auto detect. Is this right or should I have chosen some custom one?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
What do you think?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Wakelocks from facebook,samsungapps, and possibly go locker are sucking some of your battery , you can get around 1 to 2 hours of extra backup time by disbaling/reducing those usage.

Personally i have seen go locker keeping my device awake all the time, i dunno whether they have fixed it or not.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
I have read the instructions manual 3 times now and I still don't understand a thing of what is written. I do understand what you are saying. But I don't understand what you are seeing in those colored lines. I think I should just stick to medicine. Lol. Yeh mere bus ki baat nahi hai
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
1) What exactly do the max & min sliders on the main screen do?

In set cpu max value sets the max speed you mobile can throttle up, and min is the speed that is used when your mobile is idle or doing tasks such as messaging calling.

2) Should I be using these to set the global range for the processor frequency?

??????????

3) So, say I want to OC to 1.4GHz then do I just slide the max value to 1400000?

Ya as simple as that

4) Also the voltage tab has settings upto 1.6GHz, does that mean the freq can go upto 1.6GHz or is it capped by the value on the main screen?

Your max frequency will be 1.6 ghz and your max voltage is 1500mv(thought it is not advised to use those voltage).

You can use upt 1.6 ghz, but its better to stay at 1.4.

5) The min value on the main screen is at 200MHz, do leave this as it is?

you can leave it as it is or reduce it to 100 mhz.

6) What is device selection in the menu. I chose auto detect. Is this right or should I have chosen some custom one?

LEave those setting as it is, it will detect automatically.

KIES update available for my I9100G:

Updating now.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
What about GT-I9100 ?
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
No idea. Check if you have KIES. I dont have I9100 and my friend who has got it must be fast asleep.

Also its 2.3.6. AWESOME.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You blown my sleep *Screams Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hand hurts*..........I have asked Intratech to check kies servers hope he answers fast
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
Actually Infratech posted this firmware in I9100G thread and official firmware thread on my request. I was downloading it. But I just opened KIES and it said new Firmware available. So I updated via KIES. Now downloading infratech's fw for backup. Really great guy. Very helpful.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh......Ya he is
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Go back to sleep and take care of your hand, because there is nothing available for us. Don't worry, even this 2.3.6 will be there for six plus months for I9100G, sad but that's the cruel truth with Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
Hey man that FUS downloader is incorrect. If you select I9110G and select India, it has no value for India at all. And I downloaded the INU version just now. So to be absolutely sure, wait for Infratech's reply OR check in KIES. Infratech got the same firmware on my request which is available on KIES as well. So his source is different and better than FUS.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
@ithehappy ok thanks

@ambar So it looks like Samkiesupdate or Infratech or a person who using Stock FW of India can say it
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
Yeah. I have posted it on couple of Indian forums as well. Lets wait for people who are having I9100 to reply. BTW the I9100 has already got 2.3.6 in Mexico via KIES. So it should be up in India as well.

Have sent a mail to samsung customer care regarding firmware update, lets what they say..

Sir/Mam,

Im sending this mail to bring to your notification that we indian users of galaxy s2 i900 have not received any
firmware updates for more than 5 months. The latest firmware upgrade we got was for android 2.3.3. While the other
parts of the world seems to be getting updates for android 2.3.6, we indian users havent got an official update for 2.3.4 itself.
Considering the market size and fan base for samsung india ,this is a very big let down for our indian users. Myself being a geniune
samsung product user i want to know some concrete reasons for not getting the updates for our region. Is there any estimated
time for getting the updates? Im sure your customer care department wont consider this mail as "JUST ANOTHER MAIL", and
will reply with some concrete information instead some automated replies such as "please check samsung kies" or
"take it to the service center". Awaiting some positive reply, Im sending this mail on behalf all the galaxy s2 users in India.
Hope you provide me proper response regarding this issue. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
So only I9100G got update not I9100 :mad:

BUMP!

Oh and here's a little gift for all you guys on this thread, esp the ones who've been so incredibly helpful! I was practising some human figure sketching and suddenly had an idea to whip up a mobile wallpaper. You can use this on the homescreen or lockscreen. Looks best with widgetLocker ICS and a small clock. Hope you guys like it!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
radical, i dont use any power saving mode settings. Just run the stress test for say 15 to 20 min, it will be enough(in practical usage you wont stress your cpu that much though)

Problem!

Cool! Btw I've had some weird issues so I undid all OC/UV settings and switched back to ondemand from SmartassV2. I was playing GT+ Free and the gameplay was not smooth at all. Very choppy and jerky. :( Back to speedmod and things r pretty smooth now. What could be the reason for this?

BIG PROBLEM!

If I go to settings>display>calibrate gyro the blue dot doesn't move, no matter what I do. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I want it too :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
pm ed.

MAn the game was even more amazing with forced 16x anti aliasing, mali gpu rocks... having some choppy commentary at times.

EA has really done a great work by including those skill moves etc etc etc in this small game, ill surely buy it once they release it officially.
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
What? Why no I9100 update?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
You can try some other governors if you feel the game is choppy..

Dude AFAIK , dot in the gyro sensor wont move, only the dot in horizontal calib moves :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I have no idea......

Bala pm me also
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Because sh*tsung rocks :D . You got one update na, u wont see any update sooner :)

Btw, does ur mobile comes with NFC? And also the amount of available user memory.
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
Nope, no NFC. You mean RAM? Its 0.91 GB available.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
S2 has only 833 mb of available RAM, i think the mali 400 shares more memory for graphics than SGX 540 as mali is superior to sgx 450.

Can you post me your nenamark score?
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
What is this nenamark? I will try it in a bit. My aututu whatever score is 5537 with CPU capped at 1008 Mhz.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh but it would be more reasonable if they could just show that indicator only when the power saving mode actually gets enabled after reaching the threshold limit.

Hey buddy can pm me too?

Trying out the swype setting. Let me see the effect.

And yes mate, I'm on KF3. Thinking of changing to KJ3. That european version. that's what everyone is having here right?

What? how did you think that I have KF3?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Nenamark is specifically designed to bench the gpu alone
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
There are two nenamarks. Which one should I try?

BTW here are Antutu scores:
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Ok cool. I hope that's true cuz I think I remember it used to move. I may be wrong. Can other confirm if the blue dot moves in the gyro settings?

@bala:

Hey do you use Chainfire 3D? Does it help in any way?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Have installed and yes, using it for some games to force 16x anti aliasing and it works great

Dude ill advise you to wait for a day, last time checkrom 3 was released on their site, but it had few bugs and later it was changed to checkrom 3.1.1 when it released in xda. Double check before downloading it. ANd also let me know, if its bug free, im also waiting for update.

Yes there is. GingerMod which is KI3 based as of now.

The dev is about to release a 2.3.6 KK5 based version.

[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
I personal experience is stock ROM is best. i tried almost all custom roms (AOSP & Sammy ).. No ROMs is perfect as stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] droidphile:
It's good. Try this rom in combination with Siyah kernel. Probably the best android experience you can get.

If you flash current version (0.7), after flashing, better remove 74ocdaemon from /etc/init.d and dual_core_script from /etc because the dev Luca undervolted a little-too-much on this version. Some devices might not be able to handle that. You can use voltage controll app/setcpu for undervolting.
