Hope it fixes some of the gaming issues as well. Pocket Legends does a lot of crashing but its such a cool game.
[Galaxy S II General] otaku888:
I hope it fixes all war and famine in the world and gives everyone free icecream sandwiches.

Actually I'd be happy if it just bumped the version number by one revision. I don't expect anything more from it.
[Galaxy S II General] LondonGemini:
Hahahahah!
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
My source said from the 10th of June. Please consult the calender on your phone...
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
Besides war and famine ... :D ... all I ask to be solved is the gradient issue in OS and games !
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
about 2.3.4

i bought my phone from Amazon and it was one of the first .. PDA:KDC PHONE:KDH CSC:KD1(XEU).... since then i have never got any updates via Kies. I wonder why? Other p eople got so many updates.. but they dont come to my phone.. could you tell me why it is that ?? And the big question now : WILL I BE ABLE TO GET 2.3.4 ???? ... since i didnt get any updates untill now...Please, boys, answer me, i am only 'a blond girl' and not very good at android :)))
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
like I said the week isn't over yet, but it's getting close. we'll see it tomorrow then if your "source" is reliable....
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Right People!! Chill out!!! Its only an update!!!
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
I totally agree!
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
Most of us are using Odin to load the new firmware releases... Kies is a piece of trash :)
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
To quote my source again, from the 10th. As with all software upgrades I'd imagine it's in waves.
[Galaxy S II General] Hrti:
Just relax, people. Upgrades will come when they're ready. Samsung is even part of the 18 month "upgrade program", so there will be updates :) Some people are complaining about wifi issues, some about gradients, some about the android process eating away on the battery, some about the lockscreen-lag etc. I'm sure these things will be adressed, but the fix is out when the fix is out. Better to have a complete and working upgrade than to rush it. Enjoy you phones and have a beer or something while you wait, it's the worlds best phone at the moment so be happy while it lasts ;)
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Grrrr 2.3.4 already rolling out to other samsung devices

FIRMWARES: Samsung S5830 and S5670 Firmware: S5830XXKPH and S5670XXKPI Online! (Android 2.3.4)

https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware

edit: even worse:

SamFirmware SamFirmware

Seems like all MID end NEW Android devices of Samsung will get Android 2.3.4 updates next month!
[Galaxy S II General] rantzzz:
Let's say they roll out this 2.3.4 update...

What does this upgrade? The fw to KE10?

Or?
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
That's not worse just because it aint possibly happening this month at least 2.3.4 is around the corner.
[Galaxy S II General] woodstock_ahem:
Samsung Galaxy S II -> is it MID end or HIGH end Android device of Samsung ?
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
Well I would say its a high end
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
high end..

samsung always release updates for the best phones first..

same thing happened with galaxy s,apollo,etc..
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
It's out when it's out and until then enjoy the phone and chill :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
and now the sgs1 has 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
It's really nice seeing samsung support their devices now. It looks like they turned a new leaf. I was a little hesitant to buy another samsung device. But now it seems like I made the right move.

Giving out free phones to devs, quick firmware updates, and actually notifying us when things are going to come. They really do deserve some credit now.
[Galaxy S II General] jayesh:
Patience... :P

Easier said than done~
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Easy for you guys! My stock device is still on KE1 ...
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
In my honest opinion tomorrow is looking like a good day from what we've seen coming out of SamFirmware today. Samsung have had the 2.3.4 update for over a month, and it won't have taken them long to get everything tuned in for the GS2.

I trust my source who gave me the information, he's not been wrong about many things in the 3 years that I've known him.

Anyway, back to tinkering...
[Galaxy S II General] ediwitch:
mine is even older.... the first one.. and since then i didnt get any updates via Kies :((((((
[Galaxy S II General] nkj:
Samfirmware tweeted 2.3.4 is out for GTI9100. hopefully see it here soon
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
I see a tweet for I9000 where do you see a tweet for I9100?
[Galaxy S II General] :
Samfirmware tweeted that it is out for I9000 not for I9100 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
I didn't see that tweet, nor the firmware on their site, I think you mistook the sgs1 for the sgs2 :(
[Galaxy S II General] :
That's true, but after my flash addiction on the SGS I feel I need some firmwaredrugs to flash my GS2 ;) nearly getting that cold turkey feelin.

And what is better then a whole new kind :D
[Galaxy S II General] nkj:
yup :-( yeah did not notice the 1 was missing from the model no.
[Galaxy S II General] paranoid2007:
It's already been released for the Galaxy S. Head over to the I9000 forum. Reports say, the Android OS issue has been fixed. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
good thing you did not flash it to your i8900
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
What "Android OS issue" are you talking? Gradients ?:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I believe high battery consumption shown under this group of processes.
[Galaxy S II General] urbanomad:
I need to get Heimdall 1.2.0 running correctly on Mac OS X 10.6.7 before I'll be able to update...
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
They say update 2.3.4 is now at samfirmware.

Twitter samfirware.
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
That's the firmware for the original Galaxy S so one can only assume the S II is on its way.
[Galaxy S II General] painterceessie:
Sorry,my mistake.

It's for the galaxy s.

I need a new pair off eyes.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
the funny thing is you are not the first one on just the last page of posts alone :)
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Keep your eyes peeled around midnight if everything goes to plan...
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
When's midnight?
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Sorry midnight British summer time, about 2 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
When this does come out what rom do I have to put back on so I can update it via the normal kies program.
[Galaxy S II General] droidluck:
can't really wait for this update. I'm already having decent battery life on my litening rom tho.. roll out roll out!!!
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
What are your major expectations for 2.3.4 ?

For me are the image quality issues, namelly the gradient problem.

I think we will not get that fix soon :(
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
the only issue that is VERY CRITICAL to me is the modem - I hope somehow, magically, they manage to fix 3g reception and stability.

gradients, batt life, etc - not important to me, they are not stopping me from using the phone.

I will be fine with banding on my battery indicator or angry birds splash screen. however life SUCKS when you can't use your phone to place a call, when you miss calls, or when you have to reboot or switch airplane on/off a few times just to load a web page.
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
This signal loss with your SIM card only happens with the S2 ?

Is your SIM card old ?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
if you are talking to me then ...

Yes the loss is only with SGS2. The card is brand new, I got it one week before I got SGS2, from my carrier (AT&T) and not some shady dealership. The other card I tried is old, but the phone it was in never had reception issues.

This is extremely annoying at this point. The phone works more or less well when I am at home, but you want to know what my day at work is like? I keep the phone on a plastic pad near the window, about one meter from my desk. I gave up on using packet data at work with 3g/4g, because it is totally not reliable. So I switch off packet data when I am at work, only using the phone for voice. I have a browser open at all times on my work computer, and in the browser I keep Google Voice open, and every 30 minutes I place a test call to my SGS2 testing if it is still reachable. The call would go through one time, and go directly to VM the next hour, without me moving or touching the phone. I have to then go through a cycle of reboots and magic to bring it back on the network.

SGS1 (AT&T Captivate) I had before did not have these problems, but I bet it was extensively tested and optimized by Samsung for AT&T network.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Are you sure you don't have a defective device? I have to say, I have TERRIBLE reception in my house (newly built home last year, out on the edge of service + thick radiant barrier in the attic to help with electricity bills during the hot Texas summers), and I rarely miss calls. In fact, I'm getting way better reception than my previous SGS GT-i9000 (unbranded as well).
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
That's really a pain mate :(

EDIT:

found this :

Try it ... its free :D
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I do not think mine is defective, because it works as well as my SGS1 worked when I am home, in an area of good reception. I think Samsung had to go with a not ideal antenna design to make the phone so thin, and their modem software does not compensate for whatever hardware compromises that were made. I am hoping their modem software will improve with 2.3.4.

OR it is the FUBAR network in New York City, and normal generic British SGS2 just can't handle it - so I hope AT&T-branded version will be functioning better.

funny you mentioned it. I wasted about 40 hours combined trying this exact approach :) . No matter what network I force it to register on, the connection is not ideal or reliable. And when it is forced to register on a particular network, the phone would just display "lost connection with network XXX" whenever the connection is lost, and would not reconnect until I reboot. Without force-registering it at least tries to handle reconnects itself.

P.S. I apologize, I think I went off-topic here :) Just feel really pissed today because I lost about 2 hours of my precious work time today trying some new ideas to fix SGS2 reception.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
I don't know, I had to disable UTMS bands on my SGS everytime I went home because it only support 1900 on AT&T. Otherwise, it would get 0 calls. Even on 2G/Edge, coverage would still be spotty at best.

On my SGSII, I get easily 2-3 bars in 3G/H+ all of the time. This is one part I have seen a significant improvement in compared to an unbranded SGS. Your experience with the Captivate could very well be different of course.
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
I had that problem today. Had to reset the phone to user the web.
[Galaxy S II General] Blue1k:
I have both devices and my 3g/3g+ reception is far better on my s2. I'm in canada and I set my band selection to wcdma only as telus has no 2g.

Will the 2.3.4 update be available as a download for Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] nbhadusia:
2.3.4 already out for s1 according to samfirmware... hopefully s2 to follow soon.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/entries/show/7340353-android-2-3-4-hits-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-

lol was just about to post the link lol son.soon
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
guys you two are probably number 200 and 201 to post about that thing in this thread :)
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I just read through the 20 page post on the Galaxy S forum. The suspend process problem that's been killing battery life is fixed in 2.3.4. They're also reporting some speed improvements but I don't know where they were before to know if its anything that we'll benefit from.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Yeah its hard to say what we may benefit from as far as speed. I am most interested in the Android OS battery drain problem here. As soon as I open certain apps or especially maps, I can get up to 50-70% Android OS battery usage, lol. I have to reboot and it will go back to normal.

On i9000 stock you'd get about 850 quadrant score but they're claiming up to 1250 on 2.3.4 which is pretty damn good for stock. Maybe we will see some improvements or more optimization for dual core. I am happy with the speed though and most interested in the Android OS fix ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
KreoXDA,

I'm having similar issue as you in nyc. I'm definitely getting better reception than my captivate but data service is on and off. (not in reception but the actual service itself)

Are you on the smartphone plan or non-smartphone plan?
[Galaxy S II General] markrl:
I can say on the 3G/weird signal issue, I'm with Three australia and I do get more blackspots where it reverts to roaming (850MHz Telstra) than with my milestone I had before, however it is faster and gets stronger signal where there is signal (I assume seeing as my speedtest is faster than with MS and calls are perfect compared to the MS) Also it picks up roaming in far more places... The signal meter jumps all over the place on 3 but not when roaming.. So I decided to test this out, I got a Telstra simcard and got amazing singal everywhere (and no more jumpy signal meter) on the Telstra Mobile (850Mhz) network, however 3TELSTRA (2100) was just like 3 (kinda irrelevant in use as the networks overlap, and obvious seeing as it's the same network :P), I then tried an Optus card (2100Mhz in metro) and got very similar issues to 3, with the signal meter jumping all over the place despite seemingly working fairly well (this was even slower than 3 though) Now this isn't conclusive at all seeing as Telstra network here is MUCH better than optus or 3 but is it possible that getting a perfect quadband UMTS antenna in such a thin phone is just too much too ask... Since I had no issues with the 850MHz band... And with the wifi, my network at home gives me jumpy signal, like going from full to nothing, but doesn't seem to to be how i hold it but more the orientation and like if i move it 1ft to the left signal goes down sorta thing, however I have issues with this and computers too... On a good network (at uni, lots of cisco APs that are dual band 802.11n) I get great signal everywhere...
[Galaxy S II General] jayesh:
Wish they would hurry up with the 2.34 release for S2 already. I took off the fone at night from the charger, fell asleep wake up and its down battery by 35 percent, simply because of the suspend bug.

Very irritating.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I was on my olds Captivate smartphone plan first 2 weeks, then switched to dumbphone, but kept the same SIM card. I didn't exactly do precise comparisons, but I FEEL nothing has changed in qualify.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
now, this I never experienced, running stock everything, unrooted and heavily used.
[Galaxy S II General] mrm1:
My battery seems ok, its was last charged 36 hours ago, made a few calls, done a good bit of browsing on it and the battery is still at 40%.
[Galaxy S II General] rwj5279955:
Same here. No difference. Hopefully as the U.S. versions roll out we can start to mess with the modems.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
It just annoys me when people claim something that isnt true.. the title says its been released this week. the truth is that it hasnt happened yet. like i said the week isnt over yet but its getting close. i guess the dude thinks his reputation is at stake .....
[Galaxy S II General] jezza333:
I've been anticipating this release ever since I heard that the battery drain issues have been addressed... just flashed my i9000 [man, that phone feels so outdated now >.<]
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Where does it actually say that it's been released? It also says rumor right next to the title.

All he did was tell us that they're field testing the 2.3.4 and it may get released soon. Based on the few tweets samfirmware, op is in line with what is being said.

Edit: it's actually more annoying to see people getting their panties in a bunch on a rumor
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Personally speaking I am also waiting for 2.3.4 to see if it fixes the battery issue but am I going to get disappointed or upset if it does not come out today? hell no as I still have a perfectly functioning speedy and superb phone to use.

Samsung will release it when they are ready and if the OP turns out to be wrong don't flame the guy ;)

Peace
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
There are a lot of people saying today is the day. Keep your eyes on intratech's thread.
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
I said it before and I'll say it again, everyone chill out. It will arrive eventually! We're going mad over a simple update when people with iPhone 4s can't even make a phone call without putting a rubber sheath round their phone!!
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
As said it will come when it comes and the dig with the Iphone 4, I had one for 4-5 months and it wasn't that bad i certainly got a stronger signal with the I4 and stronger wifi than I do on this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] valdigre:
Funny you mention it, because I noticed, that "deathgrip" is partially valid for Galaxy S 2, it weakens the signal reception a bit, for cell and wifi as well :)

Anyway, enough of offtopic :P
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Really? I find it to be the opposite. In my basement I have stronger wifi with the SGS2 than my iPhone 4 :s
[Galaxy S II General] balto:
I would agree I find the signal much better on this phone over the iPhone 4. Most of the people at my office have ip4's and I get signal where they do not plus i always have more bars then them.
[Galaxy S II General] Ziq666:
This sounds like good news! As long as it is coming in the near future it doesn't matter exactly wich day it comes.. I rather take well tested software than prematurely released.
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
When am doing a number 2 we shall say and am messing on my phone the wifi signal tends to struggle on this phone, on the I4 and the Optimus X2 I was getting 3 bars +.
[Galaxy S II General] spyrale:
unofficial gb 2.3.4 is out for galaxy ace and galaxy fit...can't be far for us :)
[Galaxy S II General] kroat999:
hope that the camera focus will be fixed
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
perhaps the SGS2 has a delicate nose? :p
[Galaxy S II General] maedox:
It is the case for all devices with radio antennas. It is simple physics. Some are worse than others, you just need to find the right way to grip it.
[Galaxy S II General] simacca:
Unless your getting call/wifi dropouts whilst using the handset, I wouldn't worry about it.

My signal bars go mad while i'm handling the phone, but has yet to cause me any probs :)
[Galaxy S II General] Leggenda:
Please, stop OFF TOPIC.
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
looks like no update this week. poor tip off
[Galaxy S II General] jvidia:
x2 :)

2.3.4 anyone :D ?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
The week deson't end until Sunday. Calm yourselves.
[Galaxy S II General] psp888:
do you really think anyone will be working on the weekends!?!?!?!
[Galaxy S II General] phorcesquad:
So...is 2.3.4 really going to improve battery life? I am already getting some good 20 hours with moderate usage... but the thought of having even better battery life kind of turns me on... Is that sad? :)
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Lots of people work weekends especially in the software industry.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Well we still got an evening, the SGS-1 2.3.4 was also available late on the day

The samfirmware tweet for SGS-1 was 20 hours ago ;) leaves 4 to go.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Normally these firmwares are leaked too. The i9000 2.3.4 firmware was in the hands of a few, one day before it was posted on XDA. The build date was June 3rd but not leaked until June 9th. So 2.3.4 probably already exists and just hasn't been 'leaked' yet which could happen anytime whether its before the weekend or not. Its not officially being posted by Samsung during working hours
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
You're talking like women, they had a onenightstand and waiting for a call of the guy.

like "he WILL call me, he WILL!!" ^^

in this case, the guy is the 2.3.4 update.

But i can't await the update either.

Would be nice if it's appearing today, but if it ain't i won't cry
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Rumours got to love them lol
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
Just give them until about 18:30 (GMT), thats usually the time I see any software updates released here in the UK
[Galaxy S II General] lsj_87:
Been waiting for it to release.
[Galaxy S II General] simacca:
I love an update *excited*
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
I really hope 2.3.4 fixes this annoying battery problem which I have, where I could do exactly the same things on the device 3 days in a row, but the battery always drains at considerabally different ratios...

basically I would just like it to be a little more easier to estimate how long my battery will last if I browse the web for an hour, or play a game, ect...
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Is it me or is everyone pinning a lot on this update to fix every issue which this phone has?
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
Kinda... :S
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bray90820:
so this is what happend i had my g2 rooted with cm7 i needed to unroot it cuz my power button broke so i followed the guide on here http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/01/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/

everything seemed to work fine but when i flashed the stock PCIMG.zip and rebooted i had s-on and still cm7 with clockwork recovery so i tried to root turn s-off again it said exec format error
[G2 and Desire Z General] shazy:
i have a similar issue, any help would be great

EDIT:i did hear that that sometimes occurs if the hboot file you use during the root isn't compatible with the rom being used causing the exec format error...but i wouldn't know for fact
[G2 and Desire Z General] lo_es:
I have the exact same problem. I am relatively new at this stuff, so if it doesn't make any sense, please tell me.

I rooted my HTC Desire Z by using fr3vo. This worked like a charm and I installed CyanogenMod 7. But then I tried to unroot, and now I'm stuck with CyanogenMod 7 en S-ON. I guess something went wrong because there are all kinds of different roms etc. for the HTC Desire Z/Vision/T-Mobile G2 (one phone, 3 different names) and I probably used the wrong PC10IMG.zip file. When I try to install different ROMs, they all end up in a start-up loop and I'm forced to recover to my latest CyanogenMod back-up. Does someone have an idea how to get from this situation to an unrooted HTC Desire Z again? I'm afraid I didn't backup my phone with clockwork before I installed CyanogenMod...

Here's some info:

[G2 and Desire Z General] lo_es:
Anyone..? I could really use some help!
[G2 and Desire Z General] jacob2:
I think when people mess up unrooting, what they have to do is temp root, so they can downgrade.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lo_es:
But I still have root, that's not the issue. Because S-OFF got switched to S-ON again (I still don't know how that happened), I can't flash another ROM. So downgrading won't work.
