Is there any way to remove the unlock lag on this phone? It takes a bit of time to light up the lockscreen when I click on the home/unlock key. Or can I press & hold the unlock/home key to unlock the phone directly from the black screen?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
nope. your samsung guy is wrong. they fixed it i think with out opening up my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
The home screeen button is not lagging.It is just waiting for another input...The phone is listening/waiting for another input(clicking twice)..so that it can open up the "voice to go" app.

Yes you can reduce the lag.There is a mod to reduce this lag..Search in the development threads..

GUYS MY DEVICE IS BACK! working perfectly fine. IMEI restored with out replacing the motherboard. i am HAPPY!
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Ohh cool..On a lighter note,you should have asked that particular guy who solved the problem to join "xda-developers" and help others.He would be a GOD here in this forum. :D

Can u please provide me with the link?
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
@chetan.. lol true. but i did not get a chance to speak to the guy who did the job. and if i even mentioned XDA there, i am sure they would know(as if they did not earlier) that i am into rooting and modding my device.

@kachrukamble... i guess it was just a ploy to buy time. like most people here said earlier, there are tools to get back imei. or mod it. besides, changing the board is expensive and time consuming.

2)use Jkay mod.In misc option uncheck "double click home screen button"

BTW..remember lag will only decrease..not be totallly gone !!
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But then since the phone is no more waiting for the input, it should just pop the screen up right? Also unlocking via power button too there is a lag?

Edit: read the thread and found the answer :) its the launcher load time too. Should not be the reason for dual core phones :(

WiFi working fine on your XXKPA? I flashed it but gs2 keeps dropping wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
@Harsha:

Well this is my first Droid but if I am not wrong then that lag in lighting up of screen after hitting the home/power button is a confirmation that your device is going to Deep Sleep fine and juice will be saved.

When you're charging the device keeps running at 200 Mhz and that lag is not present there as your device never goes to Deep Sleep.

At first I so hated this lag, then I got used with it, its not that I like it now but have to deal with it.

Deep Sleep? Confusing term!

[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
End to IMEI/EFS debate[Probable]

@emze @Kachrukamble

The IMEI of each phone is generated using a complex algorithm, it being calculated using data gained from many sources across the hardware of the phone. Things like chip serial numbers, original power-up date and time, manufacturer batch codes etc. This is why the IMEI is specific to that phone and the /efs from one phone can't be transferred to another.

EFS: The IMEI is generated using the methods , but then it is stored on the actual device as a 15-digit code.It is flashed to a special "write once" chip (called the UEM chip) so further firmware flashes cannot touch it.

So,what goes wrong during a bad flash:

IMEI goes into lockdown mode (00... code) if there is a mismatch between what your nv_data.bin contains, what the associated .md5 file contains, and the contents of the "write-once" chip that contains your true IMEI code.

Solution:Even though you know your real IMEI, we still have no method of re-encrypting it and re-inserting it back into the phone. That encryption would be done by Samsung, using an algorithm that only they know.So no need to change the motherboard.

But sammy wants to scare us.As Well As low level technicians do not know about this.This reencryption thing is done by experts thro remote access from probably seoul or somewhere else.[Odia probably does this but he charges some money.I have seen some Russian hackers successfully restoring IMEI number for our SG2 with SPT12.[Samsung Professional Tools ver.12.0.0]

Hope i have cleared the doubts.:p:p:p

Way tooooo better than lp6. Almost all functions are working. Most importantly, I can browse through my contacts and place a call within micro-seconds :p

I will suggest everyone not to go for LP6. I used it for couple of days on stock & last night with 3 different custom roms but its just unstable. I don't know why did Samsung even released it ?

Also my airtel is not even providing me 2g signals so I have to rely on wifi for mobile internet hence I can not use KPA. Downloading Checkrom KK5........... :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Thats why I asked you to give it a try!:)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Samsung did not release it :D Its just leaked.So cant blame sammy..they are testing ICS builds..If in meanwhile we get our hands on the leak and flash those..we are not supposed to complain :D :D lol..

Edit:-

----

I would say we have come a long way with respect to ICS ROMs i.e. from 14 November 2011. The present ICS ROMs are far better than the pre alphas i have flashed (yes those black screens and circles).. :D
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Edit: now ur going custom, take care of EFS
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
True, and I hope that they compensate this long wait in official ICS release, maybe next month :D

Guys I'm thinking to try CM9...What are the advantages of it and Disadvantages of it? ......I think someone said youtube won't work..What else won't work?............Right now on CheckRom.Is it worth trying?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
nice and fast..pretty daily usuable...coz i never watch videos..got few reboots..but then i stress my phone a lot..lol..anyways definitely worth to try..
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Hell Yes its worth Trying ... Try the latest one ... It has YouTube working with Software Coded. Hence you will see greenish video. I think, You will enjoy the Speed and smoothness of the ROM. But you have to forget about all the TW features. Apart from Video codec everything is working on it.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I can't watch videos in CM9? I thought only youtube will not work
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I would say, make a backup of current from and flash cm9. If you don't like switch back to check from. I guess Most people have at least 2 roms backup.
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Well NO. Sams### is as usual bad at writing code ... :p. Samsung backports codec with Android ... hence CM team is having hard time getting it work ... but they will eventually. Youtube is not working for the same reason. With latest build , I think You can see video with greenish tint. I would still say try it , I am sure you will love the pure ICS on SGS II. the only thing that is keeping CM9 to experimental build right now is video codec...I think Xplodwild is working on it.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
i am a doctor. hope i cleared the doubt about you clearing the doubts. lol.

jk. i did get a little bit of what you said there.

TO EVERYBODY IN THIS FORUM!

PLEASE do an EFS backup if you plan to mod your device. not necessarily just rooting. even flashing stock firmware from sammobile.com

if you don't(like me) you are most likely to get in to deep poop(like me) specially, if you bought your device outside India(UNLIKE ME)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I want to try it and I also want videos to work...I can understand about coding,Roms etc but my friends and family members don't understand them..If they want to watch a video and I will say it is not working than they will ask many question..Why,what etc...and I can't answer everyone it will make me sick/mad and I also like to watch videos...So I'm thinking to wait some more days and Once videos works there I will try it....Waiting to try second custom rom..From the day I have rooted I'm using CheckRom only
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
I can imagine ! :) I also go back and forth between KL1 and CM9. Lets hope CM Team fixes Video codec before Kernel sources is being released.

I have did a reset only once till now never did again after flashing a ROM....I'm using CheckRom from v2 never had any FC....I think Reset is needed only if you had many FC with a single system app or If you downgrade FW or there is a BIG CHANGE in system files

He is on KPA which is ICS rom and he want to flash Gingerbread that means he downgrading the firmware, thats why it is needed

It means that if u have an Idea 3g Enabled Sim, in your S2. Then, you have to recharge it by Rs 497. Then you will get 500mb of 3g data instantly, and within 72 hours, u will get 3g limit of 2gb. This will continue for 3 months. That means, after one month cycle of 2 gb data is finished, you will automatically get another 2gb for second month, and then same for third month.

But this is only one time offer, You can use it only once.
