Hi Rajarshi,

Not that i have any thing against you ...... could you please turn of the bold font in your post...... basically as per forum ethics you need to use bold when you need to put emphases on a particular part of your post not the entire post ......... using capital and bold seems like you are almost yelling ........ :) that's how i read your post in my head ...... i dunno know about others i sure some of them may have the same problem as i do but are to polite to say so ..... it's a request :)

Maybe late but better late than never and better late and stable than early and buggy. The latest official update did take some time, but they have addressed a lot of issues, IMO. Let them take a month more for ICS, hopefully they will also improve TW.

Is it only me that I have feeling that androidpolice.com is telling a lot about avast? Is it that good?

You can increase the dock size of go launcher from icon settings in preference, but one let down is it increases the size of all the icons.

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I guess they have taken it off ....... the version was 12.1.1 ....... itwas up the moment the site went up after shifting servers ...... just lemme get home and i'll upload it for you to some UL site. Meanwhile i'll flash their regular update to see if they have incorporated the same to their weekly / stable release or not :D and post back in case they have ......

Is Avast only for Rooted phones :confused:

From the market I got to understand only adding a firewall needs root access, and for the anti-theft it is better to have root access so that it cannot be uninstalled with ease.

+1 Avast for desktop is awesome, been using for 4 years!
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yeah you are spot on .... Firewall requires to restrict/control access of Wifi and 3G hence requires root ..... anti theft in order to control and manipulate data pertaining to other apps i.e. contacts etc hence requires root also they say once installed via root it stays in the sd card :) until removed via adb .....
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I'm too using it on avast in my computer from long time. But then for mobile its required for firewall and anti theft? So I can relay on it for my GS2?
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yeah i guess there are pretty cool features added to it by acquiring Theft Aware ..... and the best part is they din't change a thing from the legacy app :p ..... i installed it today morning still going through the settings ........

avast Mobile seciurty is really AWESOME ..1st I have added my alt number and mom number than removed mom number and changed sim to airtel than It sent message to my mom also which I removed before...Over all This is AWESOME APP!
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
Its good but browser is culprit, heating the phone and draining battery within 8 hts.
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
Thanks coolbuddyin. I solved the problem, got bit nervous as I thought that I have ruined the hardware :o but its working fine now! :)

---

GO Dev Team apps consume too much battery. I had almost all of their apps installed on my phone but since last week was facing severe battery drain problem. It wouldn't even last for 4hrs!

Now I have flashed to 2.3.6 from out-of-box 2.3.3 & did factory reset so no additional apps at all.

I think hundreds of apps & background data sync lead to this low battery life problem. Thanks to Airtel, I rarely get 3G speeds but it eats my battery like homeless beggar! :mad:

I will monitor the battery performance this week. Hope it improves before I load it with any extra apps or consider installing custom ROM.

I bought this awesome beast some 3months ago so its in warranty, in the worst case I will go for battery replacement.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup its very good. Felt good too after installing the mobile security. Felt better after installing anti theft root method. Felt like God after setting up all the root features!

They have done a good job. Are there any other anti theft app like this?

What I liked:

1. Stays in the system partition, so very hard to remove the app.

2. USB debugging mode will be disabled when phone is lost.

3. Force data on.

4. Force GPS on.

And all that if you are rooted ;) I just hope I won't be locked out of my mobile myself lol.
[Galaxy S II General] live4speed:
Hey guys I'm on checkrom... Can you suggest me the best kernel for longer battery life? I've tried siyah and speed kernel but both have been failed to serve the purpose.... Speed kernel is worst coz it kept my cpu to higher frequency resulting batter drain and cpu over heat.... Siyah is quite better but not good enough to beat stock kernel.... Which kernel would you suggest?

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ya Changed sim with out restart (used flight mode) tried *123# failed did a restart boom wifi and data network are on failed to close both opened avast entered code than I was able to stop them and don't click lock in protection behavior it might lock mobile if you change sim just let them stay like when they were when you installed. Only sad thing is you need to send SMS from the number you added.... Avast said they will launch a site in Q1 of 2012 :)
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
both of those kernels are the best among here to provide moderate to good battery life, either you didnt complete 2 or 3 battery cycles or didnt tweak the kernel properly or some of your apps are draining the battery

@ all

tomorrow is a holiday to XDA , id like to see a major shutdown from all domains to create a public awareness, most of the people dunno what it is. hope they succeed against SOPA :)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

Hey Guys,

Has anybody tried european I9100XXLP2 ICS 4.0.3 from SamMobile ?

How is the performance?

I am downloading it now.
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
Compare to previous Samsung release its far far better, But very freq data connection lost & some time TW launcher FC.

Battery life is better
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
Thanks, I will try it today!

My data connection speed of airtel is miserable & I will mostly be using wifi so that wouldn't be problem I think.

As for TW, will try installing other launcher like Nova etc. Longer battery life is more important right now ;)

Damn! Thats bad.

What you trying now ?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
But entering the code will unlock the mobile right after sim change? And what does *123# do?

And about sending the sms from number added - its only if you have ticked

"allow only friends command" under remote control.

Yeah. Hope it will spread awareness. Totally improper to restrict the internet usage by government. But the law which they are going to pass is only for US right?

Oh what?! Bricked the phone because of angry birds! Maybe birds got too much angry :p

On serious note, hope the hardware isn't damaged.

Here it is :). I think I am being affected by the mad cow disease :p (any boston legal fans?)

As you can see, it is a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 card. I have been using it for over a month now. I have about 26 GB of music in it, almost all of it in flac format, so more than 1000 files of 20-30 MB each. PowerAmp refreshes my library in less than half a second using this and I have never had any stuttering etc in music while playing it.

Infact I tried LP2 ics ROM for 2hrs,initially i felt its quiet stable

face lock worked fine for me

I restored sms,call log and contacts using mybackup pro

Call log and sms all force closed everytime i open

and contacts too not importing properly ans has force closures

Had random reboot several times during contact import from sd card

i need sms from old rom,i cant use ICS as if its fresh phone ,so i will wait for a proper stable release./leak

Data import from GB to ICS is one of the main issues while updating via kies,samsung must have working hard on it

till now all ICS roms are wipe rom,so no worry about exisitng data

Anyone succesfully imported data from old GB 2.3.6 to new LP2?
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
No idea.... *123# is for balance check ....... Wait it only works if you tick "allow only friends command"?
[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
Kies is one of the crappiest software I ever encountered. Hope the official ICS upgrade from Samsung is OTA in India.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
No no what I meant was that, if you tick allow only friends command then the sms commands work only with the numbers you have added. If you untick it then, you can use any number for sending the command. That's what the guide mentioned.

That's the most crap launcher you'll ever get. Can't even set 480x800 walls on it. Poor customisations.

Try,

• Nemus Launcher.

• Balancer Launcher.

• Go Launcher.

• Regina 3D.

Take your pick.

Nope, it was around 36-37°C while playing.

I'll have to use warranty as I am sure now it's a hardware damage, it's been 3+ hours and I checked in my trash that it's still off.

PS- I just picked it up and connected my USB cable and I heard a sound both when I disconnect it and connect it. Can someone please do a test for me, please turn off your device and plug the USB cable in and can you please post back that if you hear a sound both on connection and disconnection.

TIA.

Dude I was hoping for ICS theme without Go Launcher (it consumes too much battery)

Nemus,Balance do not have ICS theme iirc.

Guess I will have to go with adw or Go launcher.

btw successfully flashed LP2. Now running on 4.0.3 :D

Its not as responsive as it is glorified, still not bad for 2.3.3 user like me :P
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well too much battery drain by using ICS theme with Go launcher? Well that's certainly not possible dude.

Go doesn't even end up with any single percent wakelock and the most battery friendly launcher I've ever used if not the best.
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
The sound indicates there is still life in the phone, it's not completely dead. I was updating the fw of my other phone, the Galaxy Young via kies and it just completed the updating to LA1....lucky for you that it just completed and I was able to do your desired test. No there is no sound when you plug in the Switched Off GS II to your laptop. Although the battery charging indicator will come up even if the phone is switched off.

I think your phone might revive after some time, if you try putting in the battery one more time and then try charging it with either your pc or through the main charger. If it revives, good for you, if it doesn't you can always get it fixed thru warranty. Good luck.

Hi guys...i am facing some serious problem :(

Yesterday night i had put my phone on charging and today when i pulled it off from the charger, it started giving me sound like charger is connected/disconnected after every 2 second.

I restarted the phone and it starting showing Battery icon...I again connected the charger...and removed it again....a exclamation icon with thermometer started flashing on the screen with battery icon..

i tried deleting cache partition, davik cache, battery stats...removed thunderbolt scripts...reset voltage control setting...and even pulled out the battery but all went in vain :'(

Now when i try to see my battery usage it shows 0 seconds on battery....

Please help guys....i am really scared

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Charging frequency

Quick Q:

My phone lasts between 1.5 to 2 days, now is it better to charge daily even if I have like 40 to 50% battery left or is it better to let it drain to 10% then recharge? I remember reading somewhere that these batteries prefer top ups rather than deep recharges. How true is this?
[Galaxy S II General] Hrithan2020:
Very true. It is better not to go through the extremes of very low charge or even full charge. (80-90% should be enough? )

BTW, can you please share your settings , including screen on time, whether you use 3G, regarding the battery. Had asked earlier also , you had not responded?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
