@Ravi why Norton? Use avast! Norton is nothing but resources hogger.

avast? It makes System,Net slow.....Using AVG but from morning that also giving same problem.........So wanted to try that(Norton Internet Security 2012)
[Galaxy S II General] Ankit Tulsian:
I would suggest Kaspersky Internet Security.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yeah. He brought the case for 100. I got it for 150. When he got it he was appreciating the case as to how grippy it is lol. Well since I have the same case I'm safe! Using it from many months and so issues. Well haven't dropped the mobile at all also :rolleyes:

And I have put avast in all my 8 system in the network and no slow down in performance. About Internet getting slow.. How can that happen with AV? Slow means slow transfer rate or slow browser?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
oh...I heard Norton is better than Kaspersky and takes a lot of ram space

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

you haven't dropped the mobile at all in this 11 months? TOO BAD....Don't worry I will teach you how to :p dropped mine 5-6 times................AV's scan the web page you enter also so it will be slow and Avast takes a lot time to scan when compare to AVG and sometimes Avast make system also slow while scanning (uses a lot of ram)

Hey Bala, I flashed the latest stock ROM and can now see what you mean by smoothness. The last time I was stock, I can see a marked difference or is it the placebo effect?

[Galaxy S II General] hardiee00:

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
another set of LP7 series firmwares released for countries around india and not for us ////
[Galaxy S II General] deathfrag:
Yeah, I actually feel a difference. And even the 'Auto Brightness' is much more brighter than Hydrog3n ROM (maybe coz the devs configured Hydrog3n to a bit dimmer to save battery), but I like it.

The only problem I have been facing is that the phonebook takes almost a second or two to open, a visible lag. I have not too much of contacts(only about 400) & it would open easily in an instant on Hydrog3n. Are you facing the same issue?
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
Stupid Samsung still not releasing ICS for Indian I9100. Is it because of I9100G being sold here? They want to release both together to avoid the wrath of I9100G or I9100 users. Or, they think by delaying ICS more people will jump to Galaxy SIII?
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
you need to flash that firmware with Indian csc file.

Hey bala in dragon ICS why does it open the call log window after every call?

Need Help...!!!!

hi

My phone was semi bricked in an attempt to root it..

now i have loaded the secure kernel so its just showing the start-up logo .. but it is int loading further.. what should i do ????

Firmware : xwkf3

India
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Yes I flashed using your exact instructions. I put my phone in download mode, opened ODIN and selected the frank wipe XXKI3 tar file for PDA and KF# Indian CSC for the CSC. I left the Phone part blank. I then plugged my phone in and flashed. Everything went smooth from there, my phone rebooted and I lost nothing but had an updated phone.

Ok sorry again for the n00bness! How exactly do I factory reset in recovery mode? The only ways I know to Factory Reset are through the settings menu or the *2676... number thing. Please help..

Also I mentioned earlier that everything is working absolutely perfectly so do I really need to do a factory reset. If yes then why?

Again, thanks for all the help... It's awesome to see such a responsive thread!

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

Well I'm far from an expert but I think you may need to get yourself a USB Jig (Rs. 400 on ebay.in) to put your phone in download mode and flash a stock kernel to revive it. Then again there could be a way to do it without a jig.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Hi,

You have flashed a Wipe package, that's why you need to Wipe the system with Cache. Now I really don't know why but you just need to do that.

Go to Recovery Mode, I don't know if you are rooted or not, if you are rooted and have CWM installed then just open it and select 'Reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery' and then you will show a Recover screen and Wipe options.

If you are not rooted then just turn off phone, Press Vol Up+Home+Power and you will be inside Android Recovery Manager, just select Wipe + Factory Reset.

Done.

You are requested to do the same as above. If still it doesn't boot then flash a ROM via Odin. If it's a Wipe package then Wipe + Factory Reset after flashing.

Before flashing I hope you know you need to go into Download Mode by pressing Vol Down+Power+Home, then Up again to continue. Make sure your USB cables are working OK and you see a Yellow connection confirmation in Odin.

GN guys, had a tough day :)

In order to get rid of the Boot Loop, you need to Factory Reset your Mobile using Vol. Up + Home + Power Button

Well I've searched everywhere but I still haven't found a way to clear my app history. Yes, if go to manage apps and clear data/cache from the market app, it does clear it from the phone, but when I log in to the market from my desktop browser and go to 'My Market Account', I still see a huge list of every app I have ever downloaded and installed.

Someone please tell me how to clear this list so that it only shows apps that are currently installed on my phone.

UPDATE: I just realized that not all my apps are listed under 'My Orders' on my desktop browser. It's very weird if you ask me. I thought it lists every app I've ever downloaded but it randomly leaves out apps and I can't make any sense of it. Some help would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Just download GPS AIDS from market.Inside that app go to the tab GPS status.Switch on your data and it will take the first lock in 20-30 seconds(Thats it !!You are done.Never will you require this app again ;) unless you flash another non-indian FW ) .After that you will get locks within 10 seconds.:) :) Its the first lock that matters ...Enjoy !!

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
so KI8 2.3.5 is best?
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Thanks! So what you're saying is that I should do a factory reset and not select backup my phone when I boot up for the first time. Also I heard many complaints about KI8. Could please elucidate and tell me why you thing KI8 is better KI3 other than battery life, which u already mentioned.

I was also pleasantly surprised that after wiping and factory resetting, I was somehow able to restore my cut the rope progress and also didn't have to re download 320mb for a game loft game. How is this explained, considered I deleted everything?

Also could you LINK me to the KI8 firmware that you use!
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Gameloft 320MB Data is stored on internal SD card, not in /data which is wiped when you factory reset.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Yup KI8 is best 2.3.5 fw...other then battery Lot of performance improvements including browser performance... Feels alot smoother.. Quadrant score is also better... Got around 3800 with normal apps runing in the background...

1.Phone getting hot while browsing doesnt always happen, it happens only 1in10 times.

2.I meant that in Settings-> Developer Options there is an option to keep the no. of background apps to keep open, the default value is standard but I keep it to 2 process. This setting gets reset when I restart the phone

3.The lag in Contacts and Logs only happens the first time,when I wake the phone from deep sleep.

It was introduced because to avoid boot loops and other problems initially

When ppl have problems installing cwm versions and boot loops ppl fall to this version

I believe the lag in contacts happen if the contacts is not in the RAM. If it's not in the RAM, it takes time and if it is there, it won't take time to show up. That's what I've noticed.
