Guys can any one share with me GS2 drivers for USB? I need to do reverse tethering in office system :p Don't want kies, need only drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I think its not possible without kies to detect your phone by pc with only driver installed.

So Samsung has started updating ICS via kies . That's really quick. And guys there is an kies update.

[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
What? Updating via Kies to ICS already? :O
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
WAT ICS update through KIES?? its just about a week since we got 2.3.6. Are you sure your talking about India DD firmware?

Just checked in KIES and there is nothing after KL1.

Screen Filter app

Just to re-iterate; screen filter app is really good, especially during presentation @office in the dark room when you want to use your mobile and also during nights when you want to read or play games there is no distraction to others around you!

thanks h3llboy for mentioning this app and Bala for recommending..

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Thanks for the clarification, since your posting about KIES update on the Indian thread you could have been more specific...

wrong alram !! misleading title over thr seo trick to get more page views...

This makes a lot of users think that samsung actually rolled out a update of ICS.

If some thing like this has been posted in xda as new thread,all will hit back with hard replies that theard will reach 100pages in one day with replies like ****,*** **** ***., **** etc
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
actually, there is. look up in sammobile.com under Europe. there is the 4.0.1 and 4.0.3 build. although they are alpha and have quite a few issues.

leaks are out. but if we wait, say for another week or two, we should have some pretty solid builds. and i think we will have the first non-nexus ICS update.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
This whole touchwiz thing is an utter crap,,just removes all the ICS feeling & overall UI.:mad:

4.0 should be made available as a stock,w/o any custom manufacturer UI such as crapwiz or crapsense.

@SamMobilesTo all news sites... SGS2 ICS roms are not KIES releases. If you want to follow all KIES releases follow @SamKiesUpdates
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Such a reputed website dailymobile.se providing wrong info, such a pity.

To others hating touchwiz, if Sony, HTC, LG, Motorola provides ics update without their custom launchers then there is a point in asking Samsung to drop touchwiz, these are the customization that makes the android different from being the same for all the devices. People who don't know xda will never know or talk about pure aosp ui or things. People here in xda always have the option to switch to cm9 (whether it is good or not is a different story) . Asking Samsung to drop touchwiz is pure crap that will never happen.

Just my thought, no offense. :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
+1

To each there own.I'm new here at sg2 i used to use touchwiz rom's but now i dont even think about using any rom with touchwiz regardless of the short comings of CM/ASOP . I'm quite happy with what i get on CM and i'm not against others using touchwiz .

just my 2 paise :D
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Many people anticipating to see an upgrade touchwiz to suite to ICS UI.

Most people love to see an updated touchwiz

Pure aosp google OS by Dropping touchwiz will not happen unless untill samsung mobile software division is completely taken over by Google

Nice to see samsung giving good games, the wifi is asking for 136 mb of additional download, is that a demo?

samsung app attached.

[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Will give it a try once i reach home. Thanks :)

Considering the source, I really doubt whether it is demo. Likely to be full version; most gameloft games need a lot of bandwidth/MB to download all the hi-res graphics and audio, I suppose even after apk is installed.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think it is a DEMO but there is nothing wrong in trying :) .............Download it and say if it is a DEMO or FULL VERSION to me/us :p
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Sh*t when i install 2.3.3 and then CF-ROOT then CMW recovery works perfect

But when i install 2.3.6 Indian firmware and then CF-ROOT then CWM recovery says "E:Can't mount /sdcard/" in every option related to sdcard:mad::mad:
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You are very modest.

People here hates TW and yet they purchased Samsung on first place. That is shocking and plain idiotic. Why don't they ask CM team or others to manufacture a device for them? Pure nonsense.

Gtalk and gsm dialer causing most of my wakelocks. I have disabled autosign in gtalk but what to do about dialer. Why is it causing so many wakelocks ? I dont even use stock dialer, i use go dialer. Any solutions ?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
YOu should also look into the total time spent by an app, if an app is in the list of wakelocks it essentially doesnt mean its draininig your battery. AFAIK dialer wont affect battery regardless of wakelocks

Hi guys!

@bala thanks for the map app with india navigation enabled..

I have a problem now..

I tried uninstalling three inbuilt app but it gives a problem.. I try three uninstall using titanium backup and also file expert app. Is there a fool proof way to uninstall system app?

Any solution people? I would be grateful...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Dead space and the other game in Samsung Apps are DEMOS..Original SD files are 300+ MB
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
thats what i mentioned, it asked for only 136 mb of dload via wifi, check pm
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Check PM.If you want more I will say them..Trying to find THE BEST one's
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Game data is downloaded in compressed format, but its extracted later , after completing the download. Thats why any data you download, shows 100 mb, or 500mb, or anything, but it extracts to become more, once downloaded completely.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I cleared the cache partition via CWM and everything is prefect! Happy that I needed not re flash the ROM :D

So now it's a demo or full version?

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Its true that OEMS are meant for custom skins.... however i think samsung is bad at providing all part of os. E.g. i would be surprise if we seen new gallery app. Also new caller screen we will not see. That is where samsung is wrong! As i said before TW OF ICS WOULD BE REALLY NICE.

[Galaxy S II General] jasraja:
I think lot of us are not using Sim change alert, which is very essential for a dear mobile like S2. For those who are not aware (in stocks, not sure about other ROMs), you can set sim change alert from

Settings —> Location and security —> Find my mobile —> Sim Change Alert. As soon as someone will change the sim of the handset all the recipients will be informed with a custom message from the new sim along with the imei number of your device. I have tested this by changing the sim of my mobile and it works fine. With the new number the device can be traced with not much difficulty.

what apps are you deleting anyway? titanium backup can easily uninstall/delete an app for you, but u say its not working, did you tried deleting the app directly via root explorer?(after tacking a backup)
[Galaxy S II General] omkarpatil:
I am trying to uninstall Maps app. I tried TB it says system cannot find system/maps.apk..

I also tried to delete the maps.apk using file expert under MyFiles/InternelMemory/system/app after backup.. There is no error but it still stays there.. not getting deleted..
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
You are on a custom ROM i guess.The maps.apk will be in system/data and you have to use root explorer.MyFiles cannot access those folders

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Yup, that supposedly leaked image has been doing it's rounds on the net for a while now. No confirmation on the authenticity yet. Dunno why, but I'm not too excited. This whole thing is becoming a warped 'spec fetish', where everyone is just lusting for quad cores and octa cores when GingerBread still can't fully utilize the power of our S2's 1.2 Dual core and Mali GPU. There still seems to be no apps on the market, except for some extreme benchmarking apps, that can actually bring the S2 to it's knees. I mean this phone can handle anything you throw at it and I'm sure it'll continue to do so for quite a while. I feel companies should start focusing on improving user experience and service, instead of just releasing new models with upgraded hardware, which is frankly overkill, since the OS itself is incapable of unleashing, let alone utilizing this RAW power.
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
+1 to Bala .... I was gonna say the same thing there is no official specs out yet how can you expect them to release a mobile within 1 month if no specs are available ..... nexus prime took like 3 months to go retails after it's unveiling ..... that to the specs were defined like 2-3 months in advance i.e. from specs it's a 6 month cycle (at least) for a phone to go retail .......

btw i am loving CheckRom .... flashed ICS Domination 1.6 from the kitchen ..... i'm impressed ..... only thing is i have to use TW as the theme loses it's effect if i go for Go Launcher Ex ....... never the less i have no qualms i'll try use ADW and see if i can get the prevleges of custom launcher and the effects of the theme together ..... would love to have that :D ....... The only thing was i got a boot loop once i flashed ICS Domination over Blue Monkey v5 even a reset din help had to reflash the ROM and then flash ICS Domination. Also i'm surprised they din include SU in the ROM as that's a given after a Root in a custom kernel ..... lol
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
OK Do these:-

In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

Galaxy S III to release next month

While there is no doubt that our current SGS II model is capable of handling a lot, more features and more power are always welcome. The features I'm looking forward to in SGS III are :

1. Minimum 1.8Ghz dual core processor

2. Internal memory increased from current 1.97GB to 3GB (means we can install more apps & games)

3. NFC

4. The standard S III will have 32GB inbuilt SD Card.

5. 3D viewing & recording capability.

6. Ice cream sandwich 4.0

The model might be on display at the Mobile Exhibition next month.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
4G?...........If they offer 4G/LTE differently than I just want to kick the person who thought to give 4G as Optional......Hope they wont say NFC Optional for S3

[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
I'm on Stock KF3 ROM ( 2.3.3 ) , Indian .

I wanna update to the latest KL1 ROM . But updating through Kies is non wipe , and I'm facing random shutdowns of my S2 with current ROM . The phone automatically goes blank and nothing works , thwn i have to hols Power+Home to restart it . Why is this .? Is this a known issue .?

Also , How to update my phone to the latest KL1 , by wiping the existing ROM . Is KL1 the best available Stock ROM for now .??

Also , how do i backup my phone before wiping .? I'm rooted with titanium backup pro and mybackup pro installed . Plz advice .
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Thanks.....Can you share that Wallpaper.......I have lost it
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Some application is doing that.When you get those restarts have you checked the battery usage graph?Is there a big decline?To full wipe you can factory reset and flash through odin.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Not checked the battery graph at that time Is there any way of knowing which app is causing it .? Any log or something. So will wiping solve the problem .? I plan to wipe and flash KL1 and then restore all my apps via titanium backup .

Is KL1 the best stock ROM now .?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Ya wipe it..wiping is a good choice if you are ready.It will solve all those problems.If still you get random boots clean the Usb charging port a little bit.KL1 modem has not given me any issues till now.
[Galaxy S II General] sasha007:
Okay . Would u please answer some of my questions so that my doubts are clear :

1. Cleaning the charging port by blowing it with air or what .?

2. If i plan to wipe it , how can i make a complete backup . Are SMS , contacts , logs , settings etc backed up by google on cloud .?

I plan to take a backup of all apps via titanium backup and then batch restore once I've flashed a new rom . Also will create a nandroid backup just in case .Is it enough to completely restore my phone .?

Does the backup function in Kies also work well .? Should i use it .?

3. Is update through Kies non wipe .? If i do that will it solve my problem of random reboots .?

4. Should i flash KL1 or some other ROM . Prefer only Stock .

5. After flashing with KL1/any other stock , will kies recognize my phone .?

Will be grateful if you answer all my questions please :o

Where the F*&^% in the ROM are the default wallpapers located ...... ? :( not able to find them
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Check in File Manager CheckRom wallpapers
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
1)Blow in air.BTW i am sure clean wipe will solve the problem.hey you can install watchdog and see which app forced the reboot.follow this thread if have the time http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102920

2)Contacts from inbuilt contacts menu,messages-sms backup n2 manager.rest you dont need :D Those settings might be the culprit for random reboots

Dont batch restore through TB.You will get the same reboots if some app is triggering.Restore app by app.

3)Not sure about that

4)KL1 is latest and good

5)yes it will recognize

Thanks bala. Ya I know I can go lower but Im doing it slowly. Im doing around 50 mV of UV on each freq atm and it's rock stable. I took 1.4 up a notch as I up scaling to that value only when I game and I don't mind it using the extra juice to ensure stability. Just went -25 mV more today. Will use it for a bit and update sig if things are stable. :)

Also I'm currently trying Siyah 2.6.4 with lulz + SIO with the following settings in tegraks lulz app:

inc_cpu_load: 70%

pump_up_step: 3

pump_down_step: 1

screen_off_min_step: 200MHz

up_sample_time: 10000

down_sample_time: 70000

Looking pretty good so far. You should try it out.

Oops: Looks like I typed my values wrong. lol. Sig updated with my current values. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Style Icon:
Well, the tech specs of S III are a matter of speculation on the internet right now, but I guess they will have to make 4G and NFC standard features if they want people to upgrade from S II, otherwise there will not be much difference between S II and S III other than more memory and more processing power. Let's wait for next month, confirmed tech specs will be out in Feb for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I just updated to stock KL1 through Kies (did take a few attempts - probably due to flaky connection) and am quite happy. It seems faster, more battery efficient and the system power savings seems to allow CPU throttling to save battery - ideal for the night.

I am happy with the improvements updates to built in stuff as well. More importantly the camera pink spot now is gone. :D

It is only a few hours, but I feel samsung should have released this quite a few months ago. GTalk video is not there, but I generally use skype, which works well on the phone anyway.
