Try For Yourself!

Just make a nandroid of your current setup and flash MIUI ICS 1.11.9. You should really try it for yourself and designer. It's a beautiful ROM, incredible UI, and a lot of tricks up it's sleeve. There are definitely things I miss from stock Samsung, like the camera app, app drawer etc.. but it's worth trying it yourself and decide. If you don't like it then just boot into recovery and restore your nandroid and you're back to your old setup that you know and love.

I now have 4 nandroids with different ROM|Kernel mixes and I can switch whenever I want. I was on MIUI ICS 1.11.9 with Siyah 2.1.1 this morning and am now on XWKJ3 Stock+Speedmod K2-18test2.

As a designer I absolutely loved MIUI!

I activated 3G in my Idea network 2 days back. However from yesterday I'm getting a 'R' symbol above network indicator like for few minutes and at that point I will not be able to browse internet and that's really annoying! After googling I came to know that 'R' stands for roaming. But I haven't gone out of the state for it to show roaming.

Tried manually setting the network but still the problem persists. But there is a problem when setting the network manually as I will see other network names with Idea, !dea and spice. Now how can that be?

Also at some times I will see both "!dea" and "spice" as network in notification tray. Note that Idea was spice few years back and I'm still using the same old sim.

Any advice guys as to solve incorrect roaming status?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Brut is not an option because its not offline right?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
That's Idea problem....Service Provider some dont have 3G rights in some areas so they use other companies tower..like Vodafone uses Idea in Hyderabad..Same like that Idea might be using some thing in your area..I always See Vodafone IN Vodafone IN..in that one is Idea..same like that for you Idea is VF and spice is idea...while it shows R in mobile net work click data roaming...when R leaves un-tick data roaming...Ask CC people of idea about why you getting R

Guys how much time does it take to upgrade the stock 2.3.4 to stock 2.3.5?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
5-7 minutes....Time takes for download of that file to PC only flashing only few minutes
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
MIUI is good..But i didnt find anything special about it..it doesnt show even sd card in system info.. !!!

Ya it has those fine mish mash thingys..like data limit setting,drag to un-install,etc.,

And i flashed Siyah 2.1.1 and i sounded its death knell..lol..FC everytime i connected phone to system.Top of that..a real crappy Gallery app..which cannot even handle 300 images..everytym it needs to create thumbnails...!!wtf??i cant slow down this beast of mine.I am back to scoring a 6877 on quadrant..(stock with siyah..though Quadrant is useless..but still)..

But to each hos own..People can try MIUI..its too iPhonish..

Will start all over again. I was pretty fast to flash my phone, as using Samsung droids from quite sometime. The error was the net goes to "H" thn "E" and thn "G" and thn disconnected and cant be restored. I am trying to get another SIM from a friend. I think it can also be a network issue. Need to confirm first before flashing Indian rom.

In the meantime will try Indian CSC file and post results, but I don't think this should affect the 3g or 2g connection.

Thanks for your help though. :)
[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
If you browse a few posts back, I was having the same problem with Airtel in Pune. 3g Mode showed roaming while 2g worked just fine.

What I did was wiped all caches, did a complete wipe factory reset and then booted into the download mode. I then flashed the wipe Nordic Region XWKI8 and did NOT flash the indian CSC. It started in a foregin language, but i managed to change the language, then rooted using CF-Root.

Everything works fine now. Just remember not to restore your settings by from google servers.

No more roaming, and both modes work fine. I dont have 3G activated btw.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

Battery Life SGS2

Hey all,

Like many other people here, since i have got the SGS2 i was obsessed with increasing the battery life or the best combination of modem, kernel and rom for good battery life. yesterday i decided that once and for all i shall close this issue and finalize on some setting so i can leave this battery thing behind. First i decided to check the modem which is giving the best 3g/H/H+ speeds. I tested KG5, KI1, KI3 and KI4. Speed test app was used for this and for each modem 10 tests were conducted. In all the modems i was getting H+ with all the signal bars. The signal strength for all the modems was also similar ranging from 77 to 79 dbm and 17 to 19 asu. The tests for all the modems were conducted by keeping the phone in the same position. At no time during the tests was the phone moved. I know that the network behaves differently at different times but over a range of 10 tests for each modem i got fairly consistent results. KG5 gave the worst speed. KI4, KI3 and KI1 gave more or less similar speeds but one thing i observed was that in KI4 and KI3 there were data hangups and network problems which was not observed in KI1. So i finally decided that KI1 is the modem for me as there were no network problems and the speed was also amongst the best of the 4. My logic here is that in the situation of a network problem more battery would be consumed as the phone would continuously try to get connected to the network thus consuming more battery. Also i had read somewhere that KI1 is the best modem for battery life. So KI1 was the winner here for me.

Next came the kernel test. As per me, the daily usage is a very poor indicator of the kernel performance as every single day our usage pattern is different. In my case, voice calls is the biggest battery drain as my voice calls range from 1.5 to 2.5 hours and thus i cannot judge the performance of a kernel in regards to battery based on my daily usage. Also i am a bit impatient by nature and testing over a period of days is not my cup of tea. So i decided that i would use the app Fast Discharge for testing the effect of different kernels on battery life. Flashing a kernel, i enabled fast discharge with all the options checked except vibration and continued like this for 5% of the battery life and in noted the time consumed for finishing this 5% battery life. This was repeated with all the kernels tested. I tested Siyakernel 2.2 beta 9, Speedmod K16, Speedmod K18t1, Speedmod K18t2 and speedmodK18t3. Out of these i found that Speedmod K18T3 was giving me the max time for consumption of 5% battery. So i decided to use it. Regarding ROM, Clean and Simple by MrPhilo has been my favorite for some time and i use that only. All these tests were done using Clean and Simple 1.3.

Hope this helps somebody and maybe someone can conduct there own tests and share the results.

Thank you for the reply. Good idea , i shall contact CC and see what's their problem. However my friend who uses same device with airtel doesn't have any R problem though. But ticking and un ticking the data roaming every time is a little pain.

Thanx for the heads up! Let me try with CC first before having the hazel of changing ROM as I haven't rooted my device yet. As per you, this is the problem only with android?

[Galaxy S II General] mrcreativity:
U don't need to root the phone to try different ROMs.

I don't think this is a problem with android per se. Since hardly any other SGS2 user has this problem, I believe the issue is related to the service provider or a flashing / wiping procedure.

I don't think contacting CC will help. They are usually ignorant fools sitting in front of a flashing terminal following a flow chart. If u can, visit a service center and talk to a hardware service engineer.

Good Luck.
