Extended Batteries for S2

A nice blog on extended batteries available for S2. Definitely worth a read even if you have one!

http://androidflip.com/best-extended-batteries-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100/
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Yes the battery backup is pretty good, its nearly a week since the upgrade

Have you observed the below:

- Lag in opening contacts?

- FM radio always runs in the background?

- occasional lag during scrolling..

Awsome screens man ..... Love the Anne Hathway wall paper ...... to bad can't put any girls on my phone ....... wife finds out i'm dead for sure ;) :p
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:

[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Same problem here but not wife..Mom and family members

However I set that type of walls (more hot & sexy) when I don't like my gf to use the phone. She gives it back to me instantly by saying 'oh!'. :D:p

How did you put in CheckROM without a wipe from stock ? plus you are sticking to only one ROM and not flashing any other custom ROM ?

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

That is one way of doing it but you'll need to shed inhibitions for sharing phone with co-workers, lady friends as well !!!!!! that can be uncomfortable ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
It is a Non-Wipe Rom so why to wipe?.....Ya....there is a reason which I can't say sorry...

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

These is another reason for me...My cousin sisters (2 elder than me and 2 very younger below 12yrs) uses my mobile(s) sometime so I can't use them

[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
Thanks :) Anne Hathaway :droooooooooooooooooooooooool: :p
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
A non-wipe still it's ASOP and deodexed where as stock is odexed.

There is hardly any difference that i see in 1.6 and 1.7.2 .... can't notice any actually ..... is it because i flashed 1.7 over 1.6 .... do i need to goto stock theme or any other before ?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
i Didnt go through last few pages

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Guys for the 1st time in my history of cm, the latest cm9 works good and again for the first time im satisfied and impressed with the functionality , if any of you people are waiting to try out the cm9 build give it a go , u will be impressed.

showcased the face unlock thing in my office today :D , staffs loved it and commented "oh,never saw anything cool like this wow!"

@ ravi

will post the screenshot when i go back to samsung roms ,now in cm9 :)
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
i'M on Stock KL1,can i flash CM9 directly from CMW recovery and do a factory reset?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ok..........Can you share pics of CM9....Almost Pic of everything

KP8 on kies!!!! even guys at engadget are getting fooled
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I am getting an error " unfortunately superuser has stopped",

How to fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
I badly wanna try it. Can you please gimmie a quick tutorial on how I go about doing this, here's what I need from you:

1) What files do I need and what order do I flash them(links would be much appreciated)?

2) The CM9 thread says not to restore from titanium backup so how do I restore apps?

3) If I create a nandroid now then how do I safely restore it? Does CM9 have the CWM version as Siyah 2.6.4, if not then how do I restore?

4) Is it stable enough to be a daily driver?
[Galaxy S II General] d2xtr:
Just bought ..... thanks for the info
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Yes u can. Before flash as usual make CWM backup of the current rom.

place lataset CM9, Gapps and Faceunlocker zip to usb storage,

Flash via CWM CM9> factory reset> flash Gapps> flash Face unlock> reboot
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
Yup, You can flash CM9, as u do any other CM build, i.e. from CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yes you can, but i had KL1 csc after doing so, so id suggest you to install KP8 version and cf root , and flash from there. (doing this to avoid bootloader problems if any)

will upload soon

in which rom? did u updated superuser to the latest one?
[Galaxy S II General] coolbuddyin:
Thanks

I want to try cm9 but probably i will wait till some more bugs are fixed

Actually I used KP8 more than 4-5hrs,but it has some problems with lock screen, i had two random reboots,My backpro is not able to restore backup mounted on Ext SD, Face lock not working(i didnt patch face unlock from cm9 thread),

more than anything 3g data is making my phone very hot... Hence i restored back.

Really waiting for Daily Stable ICS Rom be it from samsung, or CM9.. when its out...
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
In CM9, also superuser not being updated getting error when try to update
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Some cm9 screeshots
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
download and install superuser update fixer from the market and select "force fix anyway". then update the superuser from the market asusual :)
[Galaxy S II General] omkarpatil:

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
No..........
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
lol yeah, was dead tired returning from office.
[Galaxy S II General] jit_devil2:
:P thanx for the screenies btw

p.s:its amazing how many former galaxy sl comrades i have come across in the s2 section.

guess most of us weren't patient enough to wait for cm7 on the i9003
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you are right!! a stable cm7 is never going to happen for sl, even if it happens others will be there using cm9. lets hope the "sl" gets the value pack just like galaxy s.
[Galaxy S II General] jit_devil2:
amen to that.afta al it was my first droid.still remember the initial nervous moments of flashing and the horror of soft-bricks.... :p
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Thanks, it worked.

yet another query,

What about MTP connection error to pc?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
mtp drivers installed properly and no error in connection, but it doesnt shows some of the contents of my internal sd(probably due to stopping the media scanner service).i didnt use much of that function as i always transfer data from PC<->Mobile via wifi.

@ jit_devil

yes, "sl" was my 1st droid too, as i have flashed many nokia roms i was not afraid of flashing , but almost bricked my mobile once or twice :D .
[Galaxy S II General] rahuln:
Based on some suggestions on this thread I brought Capdase soft jacket case from flipkart but I didn't like it.

Activated 3G after seeing revised plans by Airtel.

Is the H / 3G icon changing frequently due to that dormancy stuff?

Also, Airtel's 3G network sucks as far as signal strength / voice call quality is concerned.
[Galaxy S II General] jasraja:
Experiencing the same frequent H / 3G toggle with mumbai mtnl. Can any thing be done to avoid this (fix it to H)?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
disable fast dormancy, the switching between 3g and h will be much lesser.

btw, what the new revised airtel 3g plans? anything new?

Thank you. Just a question if you know the answer, why can't that app increase the loudness in loud speaker? :)

@athavan Good to see you again :)

@others, what is the app you people used to change the dpi settings? It was mentioned in this thread earlier, but could not find it. Was it 'DPI changer' by INNODROID in market?
[Galaxy S II General] Athavan:
same here.. sure many ppl are on our side :-)

@harsha thanks mate.. had some personal workz.. :-)

use lcd density from market..

[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
well these mobile market is so tempting than ever, dreaming of every new droid when it comes to market, lets see if i can puy my hands on s3 atleast by the september next year ;)

for changing density use spare parts plus from market. had few problems with lcd density changer when reverting back to the default density
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I used LCD Resolution (root), pretty easy to use.

I had to come back to default dpi as some apps were not supported. Alternatives are there however.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Ummm.. But there is no option to change the density other than changing the font size? :p

@Athavan welcome back mate! :)

Usually market will have problem as it will not show the actual apps when three density is changed right? So just reverting back and then downloading the app, them again changing the DPI is what you all do?

Also what is the ideal DPI value? :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
hi

still in ICS or went back to GB?

@Harsha

yes there is, goto advanced and there you will see something like "rf.lcd.density" with value of 240 , there you can change it. try the app &ithehappy mentioned, it will be much easier. use the pare parts only for advanced tweaking.

for the ideal dpi

try changing to 200 as a starter, then 185.. choose which you like, btw going anything below 180 will crash your stock music player.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Ideal? Can't say, what suits you better is ideal actually.

And I had problems with Calender and Keypad, don't remember how was Market.

GB.

Came back the next day after testing.

[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Yeah, looks like its too aggresive while switching off.

Don't know how old the news is but I found out only yesterday that the Airtel 200/- 3G plan is now providing 500MB usage instead of 250MB.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Not implying anything but coincidentally I ordered the same case from Flipkart and it was incorrectly delivered yesterday :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Calender and keypad I can manage, but the launcher is so bad at 200 DPI itself. Is this how it's supposed to be?

I'm just not finding the advanced menu lol. See the pic below. And the home screen and app drawer does not fill the screen like I mentioned above. Normal?
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
I am using that Airtel 3G plan for 4+ months now :eek:

Nothing new i believe !!! But since December the H+ signal is limited to outside buildings only!!! :( Don't what happened suddenly since i used get H+ indoors too before that. My rooting of phone coincided with this phenomenon :P but i doubt that can be the cause in any way!!!

@Harsha:

Of course normal. Is that the CM launcher or what?

I didn't have any problem, I use Go, sometimes TW.

Didn't quote you as it would have made the post longer.

PS- Balancer Launcher is nice, got a simple UI.

Galaxy S2

Hi

I been following this thread for a very long time and recently got 2.3.6 update via kies.

The update is nice and fixed a lot of things and tweaks. But I need help with two things..

1. My screen lost its smoothness.. and no amount of cleaning with damp cloth is working. Is there a way to get the smoothness back..

2. Any one noted the SIRI likeish voice command hidden under the regular voice command.. ( open voice talk -- hit menu and choose voice command ) what can be done with it actually.

P.S I miss the smooth screen......... sigh :(

Getting an error while trying to flash cm9 build using cwm. Says some status 7.

I am on check rom right now.we can flash on a deodexed rom right?

Kernel presently is siyah 2.6.3
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
try flashing with some other version of cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
may be, you should flash to stock 2.3.X and then try CM9 alternatively, redownload the file and flash again.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Try another version of CMW.

When this happened with me while i was on checkrom, I restored just the boot.img of an earlier CM9 build which I had backed up the previous time.

Query Regarding Update available

Hi,

I will soon get my Galaxy S2 I9100 which my friend bought from dubai... I just want to know that which is the last update available for i9100? as I have read in some places that Gingerbread 2.3.6 just released for it few days ago.. Previously it was stuck on 2.3.3. So 2.3.6 is available for i9100 through KIES or it is only for i9100g?

TIA :)
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
First of all Your phone wont show the Indian firmware update when you connect to the phone.

Yes,you have heard right the latest is 2.3.6 gor galaxy SII I9100.

You can update by flashing through Odin.Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Yes, slight lag in opening contacts, but only after coming out of standby. Thereafter it is very quick, even faster than before.

No. Not showing in active apps.

Not really noticed any further lag during scrolling. The phone just feels a bit snappier all around actually.

Same with Voda - sometimes even drops to E :eek:

---------- Post added at 06:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

Yes, I also like the KL1 update - fixed a lot of minor stuff and phone 'feels' better.

1. Not at all, my screen same as before. Overcleaning may have wiped off the coating. Probably put a good quality scratch guard on it.

2. I think voice commands were always there.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Yeah, as I said it was new to me because I sort of gave up on3G after seeing initial pricing and poor signal quality.

Even after so much time Airtel have not managed to fix signal strength. In some areas of my flat now there is no signal (I've set network mode to WCDMA only).

Oh and I never see H+ icon, speedtest says I've got 4Mbps down and 1.1Mbps up speed.

Anyone had any problems with disabling fast dormancy? I'd prefer longer battery life even if it means slight delays with data connectivity.
[Galaxy S II General] SkullDeath:
Flipkart delivered it to another (incorrect) address. I was trying to joke that someone else got it. :-)

I prefer case mate barely there but its so fragile that I decided to try the Capdase soft jacket.
[Galaxy S II General] ambar_hitman:
How is the casemate tough case guys? Does it make the phone too thick? Can anyone post a pic of S2 with Casemate tough case?
[Galaxy S II General] rahuln:
I really like the tough case but yes it makes the phone quite thick and adds some weight. So much so that people don't recognize the as S2 :-).

You can download drivers from above link.

Also, if you are using Windows 7 32/64 bit, then I suggest that you should install drivers in compatibility mode for Windows XP to a custom path and then update "Samsung USB Composite Device" in USB Serial controllers list in device manager.

Hope it helps.

Hey guys. Wanted to share something. I was very keen to increase my SD card speed. So I downloaded "SD Tools" and "SD Speed Increase" from Market. Guess what I found :D

Usual 128KB cache : Write 6.8 MBps ; Read 12.1 MBps

Setting the value to 3072KB cache : Write 11.8 MBps ; read 12.8 MBps

CM9 is brilliant

Bala man you are so right. I just flashe CM9 and its amazing. Looks brilliant and super functional. Everyone should give this a shot. I'm hooked and even though there are quite a few bugs I really don't feel like going back to GB. lol. Oh and the gradients look so much better now.

Just a couple of issues:

1) How do I transfer files to phone cause MTP connects fine but I can transfer files. I get and error?

2) There seems to be a accelerometer/gyro calibration problem. I just tried a racing game and my car goes left when I turn right. lol. I can't find any settings to calibrate these.

3) None of the sammy codes (i.e. *#0*#, *#9900#, etc...) work so how do I disable fast dormancy?

ARAMEX is hopeless. I had to go to their Hub office near Kodihalli and wait for 1 hour before they told me that, the item is missing and they lost the track. Then after some time, they traced the item in their Hebbal mini-hub. I had to wait till 10:30pm to get the package from them.

Their Bombay office personnel gave me a wrong address and phone number previously - where I drove to and wasted money + fuel.

Never use ARAMEX. I will tell all my Vendors and friends the same.
