My battery life

I'm a heavy user;I listening to the music all the time with headphones

wifi always on;some web browser;many messages with whatsapp;many mp3 donwloaded :D:eek:

I'm using a based stock custom rom with newest siyah kernel and the new Docomo's modem.

3500 mAh battery

smartassV2 governor min 200 mhz max 1200 mhz

safe battery options off

I'm really happy with this battery

Yes,my s2 become a little thick and heavy but I don't care
[Galaxy S II General] wendac:
are you on ICS?

So the new modem can be used with ICS?

any difference with other ones?
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
Yes,I,m on ICS,this modem works wel like the old one,I see no diference,I tried many modems,all the samee to me:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
I've just updated my mod to work a little differently. Now it only has the option to use Siyah kernel. The tweaks for free tethering and the Japanese NTP GPS server tweak are init.d scripts. This is incase you do a wipe to /data then the patches will applied on boot.

Bundled apps have been removed from the patch.

Also it mounts the /preload (hidden.img) partition on boot. When you patch it will execute /preload/setup/setup.sh if it exists. I use this to automatically install apps to /system/app, such as new versions and other ones I want in there.

Please let me know what you think.

Download from my Dropbox. Goto the Simmo's mod folder.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
About your cwm packet,I have two problems.

First,why you put lights.exynos4.so in /system/lib/hw/?I think it is useless.Because siyahkernel have it's own lights.exynos4.so in kernel initramfs,and will repalce the file at boot.

Second, about the compass sensor lib file name,"sensors.exynos4.so" is for CM9,and "sensors.default.so" for official rom. Your cwm packet just support CM9， the simple way to support CM9 and official is copy sensors.exynos4.so to sensors.default.so in that directory before make a flashable cwm zip.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Thanks for taking a look. The first issue with the lights module. his was left over from when I was using sakuramilk's kernel too, it is not needed in Siyah, sorry about that.

Secondly, I use the stock Samsung rom and having the sensors.exynos4.so file worked fine for me, I have renamed it with your advice anyway. :)

I will upload the new version soon.
[Galaxy S II General] liver9999:
hi all, I want to know which kernel is the best. Siyah or Speedmod or what else?

My Sc-02c is running 2.3.6 stock rom now，thanks !
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Personally I like Siyah, there is a new version every few days. The dev is very active.
[Galaxy S II General] liver9999:
I am using Siyah now. But I want to use the other for comparison. Are there any speedmod kernel for Gingerbread and my Sc02c ?
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
It is possible to compile speedmod old version and add SC-02C support.

But I think siyah 2.6.x ntt verion is enough,so I won't do that.
[Galaxy S II General] liver9999:
I have found speedmod K2-21 for Gingerbread. Does it suit for ntt version ?

Hi,

where can i download latest firmware version for S2-02C?

Kies won't recognize my device.
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:

Did you configured APN with your phone carrier settings?
[Galaxy S II General] mwdowns:
Anyone tried out the new 64GB SD cards on their SII? Was thinking about picking one up, but wanted to make sure they're compatible.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
You would need to reformat it to FAT32 (they come preformatted as exFAT) but I wouldn't expect any serious problem with it.

Naturally with a FAT32 formatted card you would be limited to 4GB on individual file sizes. This may or may not be an issue for you depending on your needs.
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
Yup, I'm still on NTT DoCoMo, and it worked previously with the same settings for spmode

Hello people

After i flased cm9, tried another ics roms(one of them Samsung based rom).

Now I'll cm9 flash again but my galaxy let me not flash any zip file.

I tried newest siyahkernel and a couple older version, nothing.

Is there any with odin flashable cm9???

One times I flashed galaxy s2 bootloader (Something like that), may be that reason.

By the way, I liked galaxy s3, very very fluid. (YouTube competition )

For 4G phone need to be 5Mp front camera.
[Galaxy S II General] devilangellus:
HI guys,

I recently changed my sc-02c for a sc-03D (galaxy s2 LTE from docomo).

I would like to change my rom but as I did not find any sc-03d Rom I would like to get my sc-03d modem and kernel.

As I also don t find any modem for my sc-03D I want to know how I can get the modem and kernel from my sc-03d or if my sc-02c modem and kernel will work on my sc-03d ?

please advice

[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
if you flash a sc-02c rom in your s2 lte you gonna brick your device cause it uses a diferent chipset,you can ask in i9100g forum,but I think that is a forum for a diferent device that uses a omap chipset...there's no support for your device in here ...sorry

SC-02C in the Philippines

I just bought this phone, second-hand, from some indie phone retailer in the Philippines for PHP 16000 / 399 USD (Well I did swap my T-Mobile G2x for this and added PHP 7000 / 169 USD.)

A couple of things with my SC-02C GALAXY S II:

1. The first time the phone worked on a Wireless LAN network, the back became warm. Now it's leveling off now.

2. The retailer told me that they flashed a GALAXY S II ROM taken from the Retail Philippine GALAXY S II i9100 's into my SC-02C GALAXY S II, so it can work on our telecom companies' 3G bands. So that sorts out all the NTT DoCoMo bloatware (If there are any, which I'll never know, so... Woohoo for lack of bloatware!)

2.1. The FM Radio DOES NOT WORK.

3. I am on Android 2.3.3, Build number ZSKF4.

3.5. Is this the right build number for 2.3.3 on the SC-02C?

4. I have absolutely no use with the SC-02C's TV antenna here in the Philippines.

5. Why is my phone stuttering a bit? I'm expecting great Android performance from a GALAXY S II, much better than my T-Mobile G2x...

6. Foursquare can identify the location of my house accurately. Probably the GPS on my unit works fine despite the custom ROM it chugs on.

That is all.

I hope I'm still impressed with my SC-02C GALAXY S II, even if it is not the pure S II experience the "worldly" models have...

Current Devices

NTT DoCoMo SC-02C (Samsung GALAXY S II), Rooted (root@avad-server#22), Android 2.3.3

HTC HD7 T9292, Stock, Windows Phone 7.10.8107.79

LG Optimus 3D P920, Stock, Android 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Typically runs hot when CPUs are running full-bore.

The SC-02C stock rom works fine in Philippines, Smart/Globe/Sun. Used them all. Only WCDMA band in use is Band I, same as what Docomo uses.

Your retailer is feeding you a heap of ****e.

There is no FM radio hardware in the handset. Why would you expect it to work?

The current build for the SC-02C is OMLE1.

Likely it is not. You need OMxxx baseband for it to work properly. You are probably only getting geolocation from wifi.

Hmmm... guys what is the best modem that gives u best battery life on your S2?:D And can u guys give me a link to download it pls? Currently I am using OMKL4 but its not that impressive:(

SC-02C

Tomorrow, i will be getting a Samsung GS2 that is a docomo version, few questions, can I flash Official ICS from GT-I9100 to our Docomo? Is the only problem is the GPS? BTW I'm not using GPS software so it's okay to flash it? :) Can please someone answer it. thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
Yes,you can flash any i9100 official or custom rom

[Galaxy S II General] vipsavior:
ICS today or just is docomo just playing around

I recieve a OTA update on my SC-02 today (23.52mb) details described it as a increase of performance. Is ICS around to corner? I did not updated because I am waiting patiently for the offical version and root.But if i did update can i downgrade Back to 2.3.6? Also when ICS offical version is release can there be a ICS only thread topic for the sc-02 to keep us from digging through 145 + post pages. Thanks for all the help xda members i will keep a lookout Japanese sites for anymore info.
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
This update is not ICS and if you install this you can always downgrade or flash anything else with odin...

How to Get back all in Original?

hello, Im a user of Docomo SC-02C GS2, can u help me?

I flashed a firmware of european model and now I lost the "Docomo" logo at the boot.

I think it is because I had flashed the file includes "boot.bin", and "sbl.bin".

Now I can flash the original firmware (from SC-02C_DCM_SC02COMKG5_SC02CDCMKG5_SC02COMKG5.exe) without problem.

This is the current Version on my phone:

PDA: SC02COMKG5

PHONE: SC-2COMKG5

CSC: SC02CDCMKG5

Build Info: Sat Jul 16 06:05:10 KST 2011

There is no problem to use the telefone.

But at the boot of the telefone, it shows "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100". (Before was "Docomo" ....)

Can you tell me how to rebranding to a original docomo-logo (it maybe caused by european boot.bin??)

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
The bad news is that Docomo firmwares do not contain an Sbl.bin file, so you can not fix your boot logo that way. The good news is that someone ripped the Sbl.bin file from their phone over a year ago, this one also works with the usb jig. So it's a win/win. You can download it from my DropBox go to the !SC-02C folder, download SBL-SC02COMKF2.zip extract it and flash the tar with odin.

I did the same thing as you, this is how I fixed it. Also if you'd like to use the GPS/compass fix and get some nice tweaks as well, youy can flash my mod in my DropBox's Simmo's Mod folder. Download the zip file with Siyah in the name, and install with ClockworkMod.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] yakultski:

Trying to Root and Unlock my SC-02C

Hello ya'll. I have searched far and wide for my answer and after all the confusion, I just finally decided to post my question.

I bought a Galaxy S2 (SC-02C) from a guy who brought it from Japan. Now I'm trying to root and unlock it, so I can use it in the US. It has been updated to 2.3.6 (OMEL1). Please explain to me what I need to do in great detail (I'm no dummy. Just never done this before.).

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] rogeriok:
There is a app in google play store that can unlock your japanese s2 ,this app is galasy_unlock from Helroz

But I think that you need root to unlock your device so search for odin and download it then go to this home page and donwload lastest siya's kernel for s2

http://www.gokhanmoral.com

than flash this kernel using odin

http://liteningrom.co.cc/index.php

and here you can download a nice and stable custom rom,you can learn how to flash it in this site too...

Edit:first flash ICS rom than Siya's kernel,this newest Siya's kernel is only for ICS roms,sorry for my mistake

[Galaxy S II General] doconoob:
This may have been asked before and apologies if so, long thread hard to search.

Can you use an international S2 on the Docomo network?

Recently moved here and have had the S2 for a while, thought about a cheap contract/phone and using the sim of that.

I understand that Docomo run an IMEI check so i may not have access to data which is fine as all i want to do is make/receive calls and use keitai email.

Is it possible to run this setup?

They have an unlimited mail service (Mail Tsukai-Hodai), can i set the SGS2 up to that and use it freely or will that be detected as packet data and end up charging me a fortune?

Currently have a FOMA cell-phone wiith imode so i guess i'll have to get this switched to sp-mode and download the appropriate app? But that requires a working data connection so i'll still for data charges when not on wifi?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
Yes and No, If you are only using voice service I think you can use it. They do IMEI checking on their unlimited data APN but if you will not use it then I think it will be OK. If you want data look into getting a XI SIM from Docomo.

As far as dpmode email goes I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. You are better off using gmail.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
If you are coming with an international phone, a Docomo sim will work, you will need to sign up for the mopera internet package, not spmode, mopera emails are pop3 not Docomo 3rd party crap and you can get unlimited data for the same price. Spmode will not work with a 3rd party phone.

I asked at the shop, they said I could use an iPhone on their network but using mopera apn.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Just build FLUXI KERNEL,if use CM9,you can try it.

Download it in my dropbox folder.

Read this thread to know more about this kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
He said he doesn't need data but if he decides he does want it he is better off getting an Xi SIM. Even though it is LTE it falls back to FOMA and is much cheaper than mopera and includes tethering.

http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/02/ntt-docomo-xi-lte-4g-contract-works-for.html
[Galaxy S II General] doconoob:
Cheers for the heads up on Xi, actually that looks a lot better than FOMA charges for data and saves having to go the pocket wifi route for data +tethering.

Will have a think on that.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
I have installed a kernel and ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S2. However, it's been giving me a lot of problems. First the GPS and Compass didn't work, then when the compass was fixed by installing a patch the WiFi stopped working, then when I reinstalled the ROM to get Wifi back, I lost the compass again, and the GPS required a separate patch...

I very much appreciate all the efforts that people who make kernels and ROMs put into it, and I understand that sometimes errors and problems can't be helped. So this is not a complaint.

It's just that I'd like to wipe my phone, start clean, and install a kernel and/or ROM that I can be sure will work.

I'm no expert on ROMs and kernels, I'm just a user trying to get the most of my phone. I've already learned how to flash and install kernels and ROMs, and I've got my purchased version of Titanium Backup ready so I can reinstall all my apps...

Just before I go through the whole effort, I'd like to be sure that the kernel and ROM I'm using are as certain to be fully functional and error free as one can hope.

So can someone recommend a kernel and ROM that I can or should use?

Note: Here is what I have now:

Model number: GT-I9100

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: SC02COMKL4

Kernel version: 3.0.27-Siyah-v3.0.1-ntt

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
Which 4.0.4 rom do you use?Maybe the patch not support some roms.

I confirmed latest CM9 nightly work fine with the patch.

Do not use old version of siyah kernel,it has bugs and not suitable for daily use.

Get S99FixNTTGPS.zip and ics-compass-fix_cwm.zip here.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Thank you for responding. I have made sure that everything is the latest version, so here is my current setup:

ROM: Cyanogen 9-20120624-NIGHTLY-galaxys2 (latest as of today)

Kernel: 3.0.34-Siyah-v3.3.2+ (latest as of today)

Model number: GT-I9100

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: SC02COMKL4

After upgrading to the latest nightly build of Cyanogen, GPS and Wifi work fine.

However, the compass is still reversed. I applied the ics-compass-fix_cwm.zip patch that you linked to (twice), but it has not changed anything. I have, of course, also tried calibrating the compass by rotating it on 3 axis, and moving the phone in a figure 8 pattern.

Is there something else I can try to get the compass aligned?
[Galaxy S II General] wjchen0:
It's my fault,the ics-compass-fix_cwm.zip packet seems something wrong...

I'm sorry about that,I'm not very familiar to cwm packet.

I replaced the files manually,so didn't notice this problem.

I updated the ics-compass-fix_cwm just now.

You can download the new one and try again,or just repace files manually.
[Galaxy S II General] martin_tokyo:
Thank you so much! This new patch has resolved my compass problems.

It seems that Wifi, GPS, and compass are all working properly now.

Thanks to all the developers and coders who make all this possible.

Area mail

Hello all,

I just first want to thank everyone for their excellent advice on this thread. I've used it to root and flash my SC-02C, which is running much more smoothly than ever.

The SP-Mode mail app is running fine with PUSH (not that I really ever use that ****ty app)

I did give up however on trying to unlock phone, after using many different methods. I took it to Docomo this week, still running CM9 and the Siyah Kernel, and they unlocked it fine.

However, does anyone have their SC-02C running AreaMail (the earthquake alert app) successfully? I've installed the original;

AreaMailDcm.apk

AreaMailDcmProvider.apk

But the app crashes on startup. Some of the Japanese posts suggest the solution lies in FRAMEWORK in the FACTORYFS directory, but there is nothing concrete to go on.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Bryce :laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] Sharpen3d:
Given that the official ICS for Docomo will drop next Tuesday (just confirmed with Docomo rep) I think we should be able to extract a new version of area mail (and possibly one-seg) to work with our favorite homemade roms. At least I hope so. Not having area mail is making me nervous...
[Galaxy S II General] bryceatjapan:
Yeah, me too. It's a small advantage, but an advantage nonetheless.

Thanks for the info about the ICS update.

Hello all,

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I think it is the same
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
We'll probably get it after everyone else has Jelly Bean running. I really think Docomo is bastardizing the hell out of it and adding a bunch of new bloatware. Every third world country already received it.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Funny, most of the reps usually haven't a clue about the time of day much less when new firmware is coming out.
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
I have some hope that we are getting an update since I heard that the Galaxy Note was also getting an update on Tuesday.

If they have taken the time to fix the issues with the modem that causes data to stall and allow me to get a good connection for more than half my train ride then it will be worth it for me.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
Well Swype has only just been completed for ICS in Japanese so that is 1 hold up. Also they need to implement the spmode push for earthquakes and mail, this shouldn't be too hard. Their UI layer on top is crap but shouldn't cause an issue as it should work on any firmware. I'd say swype and iWnn would be the issues.
[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
Just stopped by another Docomo location and was told that it won't be ready until August now. Strange that they have an info page about making sure the you have the newest version of Adobe flash installed before updating. And that info page specifically mentions the S2. Again I think I spoke to another idiot at Docomo.

[Galaxy S II General] rushter:
I am also wondering, since I have been stock rooted for a while now (no custom ROMs), will I lose root after update?

Another question, wifi tether. I got charged turning it on in settings after I was rooted. Anyway to bypass that charge? Different wifi tether program or something?
[Galaxy S II General] zaphod777:
You can always install siyah kernel since it will auto root.
[Galaxy S II General] SimmoF:
MobileOdin will let you flash a firmware without losing root. There is a setting to get free tethering, I use it often. I have a script that sets it on startup with Siyah's init.e.g.

I'll link it tonight.
