Planing on buying spare battery since I always run out of juice.. wanted a external battery charger but the problem is that the cheap ones tend to scratch the battery terminal and are very slow... So I thought of buying this

http://www.ebay.in/itm/GENUINE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-CRADLE-DOCK-I9100-BATTERY-CHARGER-DESKTOP-STAND-/280811859482?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item4161b0ee1a#ht_2828wt_1139

But its bloody expensive...

Can ul suggest any alternative??
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
It can be turned off from apex settngs

Guys I think its time for me to get some extra battery, from today onwards 8 hours of powercut will be implemented all over Tamil nadu except lucky Chennai people
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Will check it once I reach home
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Settings>wireless and network>wifi settings>turn on wifi>menu button>advanced>tick on use static IP and give the values as in you would give in computer. If you need help with inputing IP address let me know.

so what can we do with it mate? :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
lol..................8 hours :eek: ..Hope it wont happen in Hyderabad

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol. Just wait for 2 hours mate :D also then 3 days more for your jig to come. Hehe.

Btw guys tried windows 7.5 in Nokia lumia 800. Man I loved it. It's so smooth and feels like heaven. Want to try that device again. Hope android will come up with smoothness just like that.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Without MD5? but MD5 is just an code to verify the validity of the file in terms of its code. Why you want to take it out?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
wait for 1hour and I will tell about it.....122mb downloaded and in 25mins rest will be done...than backup apps and download CF-Root and flash it......total around 1hr .....BTW how to restore APN?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Because whenever I keep a backup for 3+ days it says MD5 checking failed. But no modifications have been made to the file.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

When Samsung provide 2.3.4 Firmware ?

When Samsung will awake and provide Android Update to their Galaxy S2, whereas Sony has already released and provided Updated to v. 2.3.4 to all their Phones released this year and already in process of releasing (Ice Cream Sandwitch to their 2011 range of phone and still Samsung is in no mood to provide 2.3.4 to their customers. Drastic and disappointing.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
GS 2 already has been updated to 2.3.4 in Europe ...and it will be soon in India. I am not wrong, not all devices are updated to 2.3.4.

So, Be patient. You will get it soon.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
2.3.4 is really necessary for the video gTalk and Samsung needs to act quickly. Probably Apple has bogged them down somewhat - the update must be lying with their legal team. Then in that case we may have to wait a few more months. In the meantime I am making do with skype, which works fine.

2.3.5/6 changes I am indifferent.
[Galaxy S II General] micrographics:
Thanks Virtual SK but my question is why they are slow or delaying updates when their competition has already provided updates to Indian customers alongwith their customers in other countries and further have announced that all phones produced in 2011 will also get Ice Cream Sandwitch as well.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Few months? ICS should be available by then!

Hey mate I too faced the same problem as I don't have wifi either.But I tried what u did & have mentioned here.It didn't work for me :(.How can I get the game started?I tried using that file some guy offered, using which it will download via 3g(instead of where it demands for wifi only)...still not working.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Wired ...Delete every file of that game you installed than download from Samsung Apps and than switch on wifi (Make sure your 3G mobile net is on) than open game and try it..Good Luck
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
Yeah, the graphics are really nice. But I am disappointed with the battery it consumes. From 100% battery to 40% in less than half an hour! How can you play this game like this! If u play this game then your battery will drain to zero in less than an hour!
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
HD Games drain battery and Heat up the phone

Not only does this game (and other Gameloft HD games) drain your battery in no time at all, it also causes the phone to heat up alarmingly at the back side near the camera lens. So it is not really viable to play this game for a long time.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Can I change the icon of the 4 shortcuts that are present on our homescreen? Also, where can I get more mclock xml? Other than the xda post because it has got only a few xml or I'm looking at a wrong post on xda.

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Downloaded from the link in ithehappy thread

@ bala

Thinking of buying Note in replacement with SII.

Will you meet me in N700 forum??

reason are: In coming month GNex might be launched in India.

Also in MWC Samsung might display SIII.

After Galaxy Note launch I think GSII valued at 2nd spot.

I am not thinking about 1st or 2nd spot but I think this is the right time to expect fair amount from SII. What you think??
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
So far so good. Try cm9 launcher as well.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
no new item in MWC from samsung...sammobile said it and samsung said it somewhere too
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I think you are replacing S2 too early. This year S3 will surely come. So better wait for it. And dude i dont think S2 is old news yet. Its still tbe best smartphone till date.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Guys 1st I need to flash LPB and than let mobile boot and than shutdown it and back to download mode and than cf-root in PDA and flash right? .....Just want to be sure using ODIN after a long time
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Right..Right...
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
If you have mobile odin use it or you will get yellow triangle after flashing cf kernel
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Guys 1 more thing can i install both Apex and Nova and change between them when ever i want? like Go launcher and adw launcher? ...sorry for noob question

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

I have it...no idea how to use :( ... explain clearly plz......flashing LPB will loss root so how can I use mobile odin than?
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Yes dont set any default.When you press home key it will ask for launcher.

edit:Flash the whole rom via mobile odin.In pro version you have root option select it and then after rebooting again select CFkernel and flash to get cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
can you please say step by step? so I will not face any problem......Where I should keep the files? internal sd or external sd?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You can install both and use it. no matter you set a launcher to default, It can be removable under setting/app

One more thing I was reading some review on LPB and found that Adhock has a problem till now:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Why on earth I get CRC error all the time with LPB?!

both winrar and 7zip says "! D:\I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX\I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPB_CL99600_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (wrong password ?)"

But the files are extracted all right. I just want to make sure the tar file is not corrupt after extraction.
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
Firstly are you on still stock or flashed the lpb from pc version and do you have pro or lite version of odin?

If pro then follow these steps:

1)Copy lpb rom and cf kernel to your internal/external

2)Then select open file in odin and select the files and at the bottom click on enable everroot,inject superuser,inject mobile odin and cwm manager.

3) After your phone boots up go to odin and select the cf kernel and flash after a boot you will have cf kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I had no problem with it...downloaded from Intratech thread
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Leaving that aside for a moment. You made the 11000th POST!! :( :( :(

Edit: Tried extracting again and no errors now :D
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
lol just now saw it

i dont think so, as s3 is around the corner, its not worth the upgrade mate.if you are doing so ill suggest you to wait. bcos when s3 comes we people will look like dumb idiots sticking with dual core and 1gb of RAM ..;)
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Ravi mobile odin is very easy...btw that there is a issue with non samsung kernel... You wont be able to install games like birzzle talking tom etc... In order fix that once you flash cf root kernel flash zimage from code.tar file.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
went to widgets tab(already having many widgets there) pressed back in app drawer(it went back to home) and now opened appp drawer again, it only shows widgets in widget tab.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Thanks for suggestion:)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah + you can use darky rom tool to flash zimage. much easier
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Well..strange. But u can see in my screeshot i posted... :-) . Its random for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
wait what? just now flashed cf-root.................Flashed LPB but it is not a wipe rom :eek: downloaded from Intratech
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Non wipe ...how come ? Anyways... Dont worry. I can give u zimage dude. Flash it via mobile odin and u will have root as well. No cwm but. Pm me your mail so i can send u.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
i heard intratech released a frankenstien(hope i spelled it right) version of LPB.

it surely should be random did you try clearing cache and data? bcos i couldnt produce it. may be it depends on the grid size we use.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
just now used tom cat app which I installed in GB and it is working.....no CWM? :( ....which game will not work if I don't flash zimage?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Well...with lpb kernel samsung added check that will disable secure storage on non samsung kernel. Try installing game name birzzle ...just to test...if that works u are free. I saw this issue mentioned by chainfire n codeworkx.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Will try it out. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yeah you are right. Her has told specifically as like this "This is still BETA firmware so don't moan if everything doesn't work. It comes with old bootloader and is non-wipe"

So Ravi does not have to install all the apps again.. Nice luck :p

So there is no CWM in LPB CF-Root?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
he is always lucky :p :p

there is cwm
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
There is but it disables secure storage. New check added by samsung on lpb.

This will give error in installing apps fron market.... Couldnt inatall on sd card or usb storage.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Lol. I think I will download the non wipe version and flash or flash with wipe version itself? :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
it can be fixed by using the proper version of cf root + original zimage :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh. I think its fixed in the Frankenstine version of Infratech then, as Ravi is not facing any problems as such...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
surely go for a no wipe, feel the raw ics for some hours and then start restoring
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Where can I find this original zimage? Never heard about it before and havent flashed that kind of file before too.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

You mean go for WIPE :p

Well all set I will start flashing now :D
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah, typo error, but u saw it b4 i edited lol...

the zimage will be there in the tar file of original roms, you can extract it and flash via darky rom tool
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
LOL........adhoc wifi mod file wont work :mad: ...soon going back to GB rom but will download the game Virtualsk said.....TW sucks with ICS features......if they don't remove TW will never use stock HS

[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Nexus devices have great advantages

Nexus devices first get latest and greatest software

Much more dev's

They are dev devices

Cyanogen and MIUI first prefer nexus devices

Official support if the phone is even old
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah it has all such qualities, but hardware wise it always becomes inferior to other devices in few months(not much of a worry though).

g nexus would have been a massive device if it sported some spectacular hardware or some new features which the current flagship devices dont have.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
bala, your signature shows you are on an ICS rom with siyah kernel?

OT: people, i would like to know how to get google music for my phone? i need to make my account an american based account. how do i do that?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
use software like hide my ip in pc and login in music...use market enabler and download from market

@bala 399th,400th
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Oh.. Hope someone will come up with a MOD soon then..

Flashing done. I saw a green android with his tummy open with some circle cube spinning in it lol. Oh I am seeing the "Installing Applications" now right after the boot screen :p

By the way. I heard some tick-tick sound while in download mode. Any ideas why is that???
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
oh , too many people got confused for the same reason, got too many PMs regarding same, ill better put it in a different way :), the answer is no, unless source code is released no siyah for ics.

cant we get google music from market by using market enabler?

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

tick tick sound?? strange, might be from surroundings i guess

@ ravi

it seems u filled the remaining 2 for me, thanks 4 dat... but pls do that so only if my post is worth enough :)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
installed sketch free from market without problem........changing back to GB........anyway to remove yellow triangle with mobile odin in GB rom before Jig comes? or should I leave the work to Jig?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
What is it actually?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
a sketch book......... weirdly there is no yellow triangle now...rightnow on GB rom with siyah kernel
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Atleast you could have played with ics and other ics launchers for an hour or so :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
That you can. But the account logged in should be through the other country IP address. So you will have to use the proxy

Its indeed strange lol. I will go to download mode tomorrow to root and then check out whether I was really hearing it or was in sleepy mood :p

EDIT: Touchscreen freezes up while usage. The only way to unfreez it is by locking and unlocking the screen. Same for others?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i might surely be sounding like a noob, but what do i use to root the ICS rom? which i have to in order to use market enabler
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
cf-root with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.......If you don't want to root I have another way..use software like hide my ip (trail) and select a US ip on desktop ....Login to music with your gmail id....than download music apk done from google.... no need of root..I got music in same way if it didn't work say to me I will send invite and by using the software I said login with invite

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
So. Touch was really bad. Had to tap the keys in the keyboard like as if my screen was a resistive screen type. Well its a leak anyways. But others faced the same issues?

EDIT: I cant seem to copy/paste or even select the text with the text handler lol :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
No its good for me, it seems something went wrong somewhere for you, why not try the touch calibration software I posted a few pages back.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Gnex hardware wise its not bad compared to SGS2

CPU is almost same(a bit weak) but GPU is not good

Its having NFC+HD screen in such small size of screen(great ppi)

I used Note and it only seems to be bigger SGS2 the screen is bigger so the HD display is not that better because of ppi

SGS2 ppi is 218 and note is 284...
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
WIll try it out and check it. Does the "Setup software update" icon remain there in the notification tray always? It says "Processing Failed" even after trying to set it up.

EDIT: Man something is wrong with this build! The screen just went so gibberish after i switched on the screen.

3 day usage Impressions on KLPB ( next KLPC then "KLPD"? :D) from intratech :

it was no wipe :D all 372 apps intact :D

huge file to flash. 500+mb. everroot + mobile ODin worked. Had to delete Music.apk from system->app to accomodate Apex as system app.

using Apex Launcher and its all butter smooth. Nice customizations.

Few widgets can't be resized :( Score Mobile for me.

Had on restart today for the 1st time.

Voodoo Louder Works :D

WiFi Direct works.

Touch was bad initially but touch calibrate app did the trick. No probs with Fruit

Ninja again :D JIC : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1261237

Daily Usable. To me atleast. Stabler and better than CM9.

Unknown Reason but face unlock is quicker than CM9 :eek:

Funniest part : Never got better battery backup from S2 :eek: not even checkrom and siyah :eek: got 4.5 hours with 20% remaining last night

I believe i have seen the last of GB for this life :D :p
