Hey guys do you think that because of ICS leak today, will it help in progression of cm9 or aosp build for our beloved sgs2?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
YOu have flashed a buggy version 32 i think which didnt had notification bar, now its gone. I like criskelo for its bright colors and look, a treat to use.

Regarding checkrom, its consuming too much of my bandwidth(which i cant afford with my data plan) as i have to download everything from kitchen, whereas other custom rom has it builtin.

ezpdf pro is much better than any pdf app,even better than adobe, grab it dude.

go ahead and flash with bootloader dude, no probs, u can always revert back as long as u have access to odin and a old bootloader file

I read somewhere that there is unicode font which can be injected to read hindi as well as many india languages

Still 4 more hrs for me to dload :(

So, what do u think of transformer prime, m thinking to buy it, or should i go for ipad 2.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:

[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Nahh, will keep it too. Can't carry a transformer, or ipad in my pocket!!

An One Hour Brief of my ICS Leak experience...

http://knowmydroid.com/blog/android-4-ice-cream-sandwich-firmware-leaks-for-galaxy-s2

Oh! What an one hour experience of ICS :)

Nah, was running the leak for more than an hour, and forget about daily use, it's not bearable for more than an hour. Yes, it's a leak, but it should be called a Pre-Alpha, nothing post to that, not even Alpha.

• On the brighter side, I liked the Browser, Full screen finally, smoother than before, fonts were kinda weird, the page loading green line was cool, no lag when you enable Auto Fit web page, lot of customisation options like Font scaling, Minimum font size etc. The nonsense part is still no Exit option! Maybe it'll be included in Stable release.

• Phone calls did work. Sound quality was good as GB and loud enough. Great part was it finally had the manual switch on/off for Noise Reduction feature. What a relief.

• Vibration was so faint that you could barely feel it. It was definitely due to unstable ROM.

• External speaker worked as it should and same as GB.

• Camera worked, fully, with all the options.

• Default Calendar FC'ed each and every time I tried to open it.

• GTalk FC'ed every time I tried to type something. All my friends had to be online on that particular time, finally I had to Sign out!

• Market worked, version 3.3.12, only one FC.

• Task Manager was cool too, as you all know you just have to drag one app to right side to close it, not bad.

• 480x800 walls didn't set properly as it doesn't set on all the third party launchers except Go. Polishing need to be done.

• Google Music and Google + were included from the first.

• Video player worked, but definite lag on 720P videos, so 1080P would be a PITA.

• A new looking GMail, but as usual crap, pinch to zoom doesn't work.

• There was NO Swype! Android and Samsung default KB was there, with some Chinese **** too.

• Lock screen ICS icon wasn't visible, as you can see on the Review video.

• Data connection didn't work. APN settings were all good, still it didn't.

• WiFi worked perfectly well.

• Overall smoothness was good, better than GB, but nowhere near as iOS UI. It's as simple as that.

• There were some extra options included under Settings, which had a new icon, I can't remember them.

• Couldn't take Screen shot! Default Vol Down+Power didn't work, nor Home+Power.

• Incoming call UI was same like KL1. Dragging of icons didn't work, though you could accept and ignore calls.

• There were several Dead screen at some intervals.

As bala said PLEASE DO NOT FLASH this unless you are a Freak flasher and weird like me who can't stop themselves to taste melted Ice cream flavor :)

That's all I can remember, no way I am flashing a single ICS leak or Beta or whatever get released, until the Final and Stable one pops up Officially (I didn't mean for India). But one thing I can say, although it got HW acceleration I am NOT getting my hopes up for it.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:

Warning!!!! Do not update samsung apps!!!

I made a mistake of opening and updating Samsung Apps today and installed the Samsung Push Service along with one more Security Update. Ever since, the battery has been draining so fast, it's getting empty right in front of my eyes! Even after uninstalling the Push Service, it is still draining with great speed! The phone is getting all HEATED UP also extraordinarily. I think I should FREEZE the Samsung Apps using Titanium forever! No other option left! This is crazy!
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Guys, I am having issue with the browser . [ VK 2.1 ROM ]

Not sure , if this is supposed to be standard behaviour, but for each change in URL, one tab under browser is being created.

For eg. if I login to www.google.com, it will immediately create one and then two tabs [google.com probably being converted to mobile google website], which means that unneccessarily windows/tabs are being created.

Any idea how to fix this issue?
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
Hmmm - been following the CRR (and LeoMar before that) for 3-4 months now. All their releases have been of very good quality and the latest 4.0 is quite good too. Just sharing my experience with their ROMs.

You can try to find out what process is doing this using betterbatterystats or OS Monitor? Would be interesting to know the root cause.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I normally have 2-3 % drain overnight, but yesterday I had 15% and checked BBS immediately, nothing suspicious. Now I know what the f was the cause as I too updated my Samsung Apps the day before yesterday.

Uninstalling that Push service right now.

GN.

PS- Purchased Swiftkey X. Now I am happy. Just 3 more days to go, hope Google will surprise with some real premium Apps, not damn games!

CSC issue!

I just dialed *#1234# and CSC reads xxkj3. Will this cause any problems? Do I need to flash DDKF3?
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Guys! This is SERIOUS! EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING the Samsung Push Service and the other Samsung Utility and also freezing the Samsung Apps using Titanium, the battery drain continues! Nothing has worked. Battery going from 100% to ZERO in less than 3 Hours! Does anyone know what is happening and how to stop this???

I think the only option left now is to reflash the ROM. I was on XWKK2 CF-Rooted which was working great till this damned Samsung Update!
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Possible Fix

Ok this might be a trivial thing but have you tried rebooting the phone? This should kill all running processes.

Next you can try flashing this http://www.multiupload.com/26ES60WA4G then reflash the kernel that you use. This should most prob fix things! Hope this helps...

BTW Does anyone from here use Tegrak's 2nd core app? Does it help?
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Thanks for the reply. Of course, have rebooted it several times. The battery was working fine till this damned Samsung Apps update. But since the battery drain has not stopped even after freezing it and removing the updates of yesterday, the only other new thing I can see installed on my phone is VODAFONE SERVICES! Since yesterday I notice this new icon of Vodafone Services installed on my phone, and it installed automatically without notifying me.....could this be the culprit?

And you're saying I don't need to reflash my ROM? I don't know how I will be able to reflash also because I need to have the battery level back to near 100% level to reflash, and right now, it is only 19% and going towards zero fast. I have switched off the phone now! Damn!

CSC does not matter. Any European CSC works fine in India.

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

No, the uninstalling of Samsung Push Service did NOT have any effect. Battery drain continues. The Push mail works fine even without Samsung Push. Was working fine before the update and is working fine after removing it also.

The only issue is that of superfast, alarming battery drain. Have put my phone on charging, will take a few hours before I'm able to flash anything on it.

Also noticed an Abnormal Data usage since the Samsung Apps update/Vodafone Service installation. There is a marked increase in data activity.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Actually a few Weeks back I too installed the Samsung utility thing and started to have frequent force closes. I had to clear the cache via CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Would like to add few things to this list ....

Phone App has been updated.

Contact App Has been updated

Gallery App is still old,

Clock app is still old.

TW Does not support resizing widgets like book marks of browsers

Face unlocks worked very well for me :D

no notification of missed call and sms on Lock Screen.

I saw three diff. UI framework ... Stock Gingerbread, Stock ICS and Crap TouchWiz.

few more options available in Music App. Music App is still old one ...

I dont care if samsung uses TW. but they should maintain UI unformat. Samsung if you are reading. Please make all apps looks similar to ICS framework of TW for Stable one.

Old Gallery app is a step back for me. They should move to new one.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
I doubt it's cuz of vodafone services. The file I linked you to will clear cache and dalvik cache and will also remove any remnants of any kernels you've flashed before. You can then just reflash the kernel you want (NOT ROM). Could you please tell what ROM/Kernel setup you are on currently? Also are you ROOTED? I forgot to ask... :p

EDIT: If you aren't rooted the try holding vol up+home+power till you get to recovery, then wipe cache partition and reboot. One more thing you can try is goto manage apps>all app>samsung apps and clear cache/data. You try the same for the vodafone services app if you think thats causing the drain.

The first transaction was with google and the second with google unidocs

I used an icici credit card

Is there some fee we need to pay to google for purchasing apps ?
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
I know you have a predilection to not listen to me, but I am only trying to help over here.

Free app OS Monitor should tell you what processes are currently running on your phone. Market link below

You'll need to goto the settings, Sort by load and put everything in descending order to get the battery hogging process.

Mine is the same version. Have also frozen SamsungAppsUNA2.2.0.2.1. Still the drain is there. Since everyone is asking me to install BetterBatteryStats, please give me a LINK TO DOWNLOAD it, if you're saying its free for XDA members. I'm waiting for my battery charge to go to about 60% so that I can FLASH the ROM again.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
charge it to 100 and install this and use normally when battery is less than 30% than in BetterBatteryStats see wakelocks you will know which app is eating your battery so much http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
I mentioned before that I am on XWKK2 CF-Rooted. Everything was working fine before the Samsung Apps update OR Vodafone Service install. I don't know which one of them is the culprit. I DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH ROOM to try to find out what the problem is coz my priority right now is to get my battery drain back to normal! I can't keep the phone plugged to charger forever. The back of the phone is unusually hot. Trying to install new apps will eat up battery charge and set me back by an hour or two again. I am just waiting to reflash now.

Need to clarify a doubt regarding flashing official India XWKF3

Hello guys,

Quite new to xda forums and I really get lost in the vast plethora of threads and topics, so please forgive me in advance if I have not posted this in the right category.

I have tried flashing using odin a couple of times with my samsung galaxy s i9000 in the past without any issues, and so am familiar with the process.

However, regarding the galaxy s2 I9100, I have a small doubt.

I am using official android 2.3.3 (Build: XWKF3, Baseband: DDKE4) and

I plan to flash android 2.3.5 using the european software XWKI3 since India doesn't have the official update as yet.

Since I dont have a backup of my existing ROM (I am not rooted :-D),

I visited this particular forum: ([ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2/3, KK2/5 Download)

link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

and have downloaded the file for XWKF3 with the India CSC link which is provided.

Now, I have never used a .7z file so am a little confused whether I need to flash using this non-zipped file as a single file in Odin, or to extract and use the three .bin files located within.

Would appreciate your valuable feedback so that I can flash ASAP and of course thanks in advance.

Regards,

Vibes
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
as per reviews its working fine on our s2, no plugins or chainfire 3d required

[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Jas, there is an entire thread about this with title, "wakelogs ....something" on this topic in the Q&A section since the last two days. Others who updated Samsung Apps recently have also faced the same problem. But what do u mean by "push notification on the Indian Stocks"? How do u know that the Samsung Push Notification was for "Indian stocks"??? What are u talking about?Or did u mean Indian Stock Kernels? "Indian stocks" means Indian shares from the share market! Correct your English man! Lol

It is confirmed that this app and its components is a memory/battery hog. But it is possible that the problem lies dormant for those with a lot of free internal memory, and those running short on the internal memory face the accute problem of alarming battery drain.

Since my internal memory of 1.97 GB was almost full, I may have faced this accute problem. I was having only about 100 MB left out of that unused. I removed 4-5 apps which brought up my unused memory to about 250MB. This might have also helped alongwith the freezing of Samsung Apps and all its components. This is my best guess about what caused the problem. Anyway, I have now reflashed, rerooted....and starting afresh.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Atul, thanks for the suggestion. I have always been on a stock kernel and never had a problem before. I hope the problem has been solved after reflashing and rerooting.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Thanks for the suggestion, have installed this app now after reflashing and rebooting. Although I have a few other apps for monitoring, this one seems to be the best. Will be useful in future.

Funny problem:

I was on stock unrooted kk5/kl1.

Then yesterday I flashed siyah 2.5.1. That siyah thread also has tips to save on battery juice.so I followed them and disabled dormancy and then went to *#301279# and selected 2 and then 1 which supposedly switches off hsdpa. It was all good till yesterday morning when I stopped getting 3G. Am getting only edge now. Any ideas? Way to switch hsdpa neck on again our something? don't tel me factory reset..please

Tried restart, reflash of stock ROM.

Help!

Put the phone to wcdma only mode and the hsdpa is back but signal is only 1 bar.back to auto mode and again edge
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Do the same thing again. But this time instead of one press 3 - Release 6.

Also no need to disable fast dormancy in India, most of our carriers support it and hence battery life is better.

Only places where it's not supported should disable it.

HSPA on/off are modem settings hence stored along with baseband if nothing i mentioned works flash a different baseband and the settings should reset.
