I've never installed a custom ROM just custom kernels. Its kinda scary not knowing why its happening. It could happen to anyone.

Someone out there with more knowledge and experience should try and figure it out.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?
[Galaxy S II General] sriharsha_m:
I will try it once I get the phone back, might come handy on a rainy day :)

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

I still don't understand why it happened all of a sudden, this is my 4th Android phone in the last 3yrs and this is the first time something like this happened.

I had flashed my HTC Desire and Galaxy Spica countless number of times and hell lot of mods and custom ROM's. Never ever faced such issue. But anyways a simple efs backup would have averted all this. I should have done a back up in the first place :o
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Happened to me when going titanium backup and the device would restart. Do I just related the ROM non wipe and no problems from then on.

Btw guys, which all games use the MSAA thing with Chainfire 3D? Wanna see how good the.graphics looks. Tried the samurai jack 2 THD, fruit slice THD but boo difference at all..
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Guys I used Kernel cleaning script and installed SpeedMod K2-18. My phone seems to be f*cked up. It's responding like resistive touch screen! I tried cleaning cache and dalvik and reflashing the kernel.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
I'm getting error as "amazon app store is not yet officially available in your region."

i was using account with us address only .

so they blocked me from having free apps

anyone facing the same issue ?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Try installing the stock kernel, reboot your mobile, use it for a while. Later flash the custom kernel of your choice.
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
I'm sorry...i dont understand. What did u do to get rid of the problem? It happens to me randomly.

Hey guys, I'm currently on the KI3 modem, is there any reason to switch KL1, KL2, KP1 etc... If yes then which of the new ones is the best and why?

Do you use voltage ctrl? also have you flashed Siyah 2.6 + battery module?

guys ... it Galaxy Nexus give away today ... here
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
You are late today :p I saw that and posted my comment in the morning
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Your sig says you're rooted with CF so boot to recovery and wipe cache & dalvik cache and reboot. If this doesn't fix it then fire up EFS backup 1.2.6 and restore a backup of your efs. I am assuming you've backed up your efs at some point.

[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
I did not use siyah or any voltage control. It is happening when you use phone while charging. Previously when I used it while charging it was fine. Now after using kernel cleaning script, it's not acting weird if I use it while charging.

How To: Better LOUDER Audio

Anyone who is unhappy with their S2's audio

I've heard you mention more than once bout the "crappy SGS2 audio hardware" so I'd thought I'd suggest something that might help. I certainly have no complaints after applying these new settings and getting the Brainwavz M2 IEM's (in ear monitors/ear phones). Below are my settings using Kalpik's thread as a base. If the following steps help you, then do head over to Kalpik's thread and thank him too!

Here goes

----------

What you need:

1) PowerAMP (my EQ settings attached below, tweak to your liking)

2) Equilizer (enable ONLY equalizer and set EQ as per screenshot below)

3) Good IEMs (Optional, but this makes a massive difference, trust me) these settings are tried and tested on the following IEMs: Brainwavz M1, M2, M4.

4) Flash Siyah 2.6.3 or any CF kernel which supports supercurio's LOUDER driver module, and install the "LOUDER" app to enjoy louder & crisper sound! (this is also optional)

These steps made a HUGE difference for me and I love listening to music on my phone now. Hope this helps you guys...

If this helped, then a THANKS would be nice! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Sorry I was not clear. Stupid Swype! What I meant was whenever I was backing up the system + user app + data with titanium backup, in the middle of the process the phone would reboot and I would have all the stuffs in about phone> status as unknown. The only way to fix this was doing a reboot once again.

I thought this was titanium issue. Before approaching that Dev what I did was I re flashed the ROM as non wipe and my problems were fixed. No reboot when titanium backup and no 'unknown' issues in status screen.
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Like bala mentioned, go back to CF root. Befroe that wipe cache/dalvik. Also try wiping battery stats>reboot>power off>remove battery for like a minute>reinsert>boot up. Hope this helps.

Also, can you better describe exactly what you mean by this "weird" behaviour.

@bala

Have you tried Siyah 2.6.1. Gokhan has included supercurio's LOUDER driver module. I dunno if I'm imaging it, lol, but audio does sound louder after flashing. Can confirm this pls? :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
The parameters are configurable to get the louder sound, I dunno what's the default parameters gokhan has used. Super curio is preparing an app to configure that, have to wait for that. Just flashed 2.6.1, there is some improvement in headset volume

Ot : post no 1000 :D
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Awesome, so I wasn't imagining it! haha.
[Galaxy S II General] ryshah:
Thanks! But can't really wait right now.

Anything that satisfies my requirements and is available immediately ?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Now searching for some command line parameters to find the difference, I think I can only tweak it via commandline as supercurio has already mentioned his app wont have free version.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
I was trying to download the free games from samsung apps but I am not able to download Riptide and Roboto. The download gets disconnected in between.

Even cleared app cache and turned off wi-fi sleep but no luck.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I won't recommend anyone an Android device in that budget

Swyping from my GT-I9100 via Tt

@ithehappy, why do you think Android not goods with 18K budget? The Samsung galaxy stands somewhere around that price (i'm not able to quote you)

Also guys my friend thinks Sony Ericsson is good looking. Any one suggest some phone in SE too with around 18K range? Is the Neo good?

Thank you.

@radicalgel

I'm gonna try that sound mod when i'm free and get back to you.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
i would go for galaxy r having ics udate confirmed. Its around 20k
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Man I used the galaxy note yesterday and screen is mind blowing but it's just way too big even for my massive hands and it will be a definite task to fit in your pockets. Also, the screen res is almost double the S2's, that the slight hardware spec advantage is nullified as it has to render so many more pixel per frame. The S2 may even have the edge in some cases as the pixel count is much lower. Anyway, just my opinion. If the size is not and issue, the note will definitely not disappoint.

PS: I would personally never use the stylus. Firstly it's skinny with bad ergonomics and secondly it's hard tipped and no matter what corning or gorilla glass the device is equipped with, you will constantly be worrying about scratches. lol.
[Galaxy S II General] nk7:
Hey mate I am Indian but living in Australia haha! Did you install voodoo control app to take advantage of the inbuilt module that siyah 2.6.1 came with? Or are the effects there already?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
voodoo control app will never be compatible with our s2. The louder audio should already be there activated with some default values. you have to wait for supecurio's app to tweak it manually.
[Galaxy S II General] nk7:
Something tells me it will unfortunately not be as good as the SGS.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
I have a Galaxy S2 I9100G with me. It is a little bit inferior to the normal I9100. I have an option of refunding it since there is no I9100 left in the market in India. Do I keep it or refund it? If I refund it, is there any better handset to buy at the moment? Please suggest me as soon as possible. ITS URGENT!
[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
I want to Swip down to open up notification i am using touchwiz 4.5 , i know TW does not support it, Any apps which can do this.

tried birdbar didnt like it.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
There are still some original i9100 left over here and there, id suggest you to refund, and go to any official showroom,explain the situation and ask them to order or get a normal i9100 model for you
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
No. The stock is empty. Only the Oct-Nov stock is in stores. And all of them are G versions. Is this version bad? Will it get ICS? It got 2.3.6 before the I9100 versions. So this is supposed to get future updates earlier as well, no?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You want to keep touchwiz as

the launcher and use the swipe down gesture for notification. Is that right? Asking because other launcher like Go launcher Ex has this feature.
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
It happens only when charger is connected. By weird I meant, touch screen almost acts like resistive touch screen. Incredible laggy scrolling etc... Even swype does not work...

everything works well as soon as you remove the charger...
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
G is not a bad version at all, it will get ics in future, but the normal variant is much powerful than that + the awsome development + community support. THere is no need to rush up for the normal s2 in the same store, find the official samsung dealer in your city and explain it to him, you can surely get the normal variant atleast in a week or so.

[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
So u want me to get a refund, right? It is the best option for me I guess?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
It will be the best only if you need lot of custom roms,kernels,mods etc. + plus large community support

It seems flipkart has both G and non G variants available separately, you can just call them to confirm , and make an order from there too
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
Thanks a lot! By chance I get the refund & opt for something else other than the Galaxy S2. Can you suggest me some good handsets equal to this or even better at around 30-35k?

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

The non G versions are out of stock. AND I bought from flipkart only. The I9100 version & inside it was the I9100G :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
look over here

http://www.flipkart.com/browse/mobiles/samsung?filter=priceBand%3AAbove+Rs.18000&_l=uN9paK+WLPFB1ImA0Njr8g--&_r=QkQ+lzBnX4z8qClbeCnjAg--&ref=d4c68acb-8613-42ed-965a-35f827db6870

flipkart has both G and non G variants, you can call them to confirm.

AFAIK there is nothing as good as s2. every other latest offerings has its own drawbacks.

What you get getjar is like you have not purchased the app and hence you won't get the update. Unlike Amazon, you will actually

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
No control app yet but 2.6.1 definitely has boosted the audio output without any loss in quality. As of now bala and I can confirm this. Apparently there is an app on the way but it will most likely be a paid app. Bala is looking into changing values using an alternate method.

As of now I have no issues with the volume output. Just flash 2.6.1 and ure good to go.

to your info, one of my office friend just took i9100 from univercell mobile show room here. Just thought it would be the G version, but its not.
[Galaxy S II General] rajarshi10:
You don't know the whole story. I HAD I9100 twice. And twice I got a dead pixel issue on the screen. Then got a refund from that. Using that money I bought from Flipkart, expecting it to be okay. It is okay but it is the G version. So now tell me, what should I do? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
My 2cents:

Get a refund and try you luck with 3rd 9100. Search the local market for 9100

.If you didnt find a 9100, then get a 9100G online with some offer.

9100 is better any day over 9100G

But if you cant find 9100,second best 9100G
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Hardware.

No it is not mandatory but it is mandatory to tell the above info when you're saying you got an update.

No need to draw unwanted attention.

@Bala: As you've tried Supercurios new Audio mod, thus asking, that script is only available for Siyah currently, right?

And how is the in call volume with both headset and headphone? I don't listen music through it, so I don't care, all I care is the terrible low volume in call with headphone, is that improved, if yes, how much?

Ordering for GT-I9100 and getting GT-I9100G is a real bummer. Good that the vendor is providing a refund. If I were you I would have given it back and look for GT-I9100, even if last two GT-I9100 had defects. I just could not get over the feeling of buying the world's best phone and ended up with second best.

Also its not about just customisation and mods, its about having the best smart phone in world right now. The thing is that if you could try hard enough to buy GT-I9100 again why not go for it as its superior than the G version. If you still could not get the GT-I9100 version, then the G will be your next bet. Suggesting to try for GT-I9100 as you can buy the G version again anytime if you are not satisfied as there are plenty of stock of G version right?
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
GT-I9100 is still rolling in the market just have to search properly... I bought mine from Croma last week for 29.5k...
