[Galaxy S II General] simacca:
3g bug has gone for me so far. Was getting it all the time when using LiveProfile.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A well Sammy just release 2.3.4

[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
Just updated to KF3 via Kies. Worked ok so now lets see how it goes.

At the very least it's nice to see there's no more need to hack the camera sound! :D
[Galaxy S II General] simacca:
Just got the data bug ffs. Had to switch to flight mode and back again to get it working.

Not happy :(
[Galaxy S II General] jonsmith709:
Updated, but were are the messaging themes gone ?, liked to use the dark one......grrrrrrr
[Galaxy S II General] NL4JC:
Wondering if it's worth going from KE7 to this or wait a bit more? I just rooted, so lazy to do it again and worried I'll have to reset it all ?

Those who did it from KE7 to KF3, did you have to reset the phone or it worked without losing apps etc??
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
I get better battery from KE7 than KF3
[Galaxy S II General] adem_7:
No, it worked without losing apps for me.
[Galaxy S II General] adem_7:
Didn't have to reset, no apps lost. It worked fine, just some minor Kies problems.
[Galaxy S II General] ong.andrew:
Battery life definitely worse in KF3 than in KE7. Been getting enormous battery drains even without use, was not this drastic in KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] Acidmax:
Confirming battery drain VS KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
I am getting the opposite from you guys my battery life seems to have improved at least in the short time I have been running KF3 but will report back if this changes.
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
mine is a huge improvement too..and after 2 days now no wi fi sharing bug..no dialer bug..

i dont use 3g ..keep brigtness to zero..use wi fi 2 3 hours per day.. and can easily say now my phone can last more than 3 days..
[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
Fully charged mine this morning and took it out to be used exactly as it is most Saturday mornings to compare. Some music, a three panel use of Tweetdeck, Gmail syncing, the odd photo and a bit of GPS use.

Usually I get to this point in the day (about 5 hours later) and I have about 88% or so. It varies but usually just dipping under 90%

Today I have still 94% after five hours use and the graph of battery usage is noticeably smoother and more gradual. Also running at around 25deg on average rather than nearer 30deg on KE7 before.

For me, it's a great step forward! May not even race to grab 2.3.4 on Kies this month as quite happy as it stands. That's a great sign :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonkrav:
If I flashed straight to KF3 from an o2 branded phone using Odin wont that just debrand?
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
There is a section on the forum with full instractions...you must not only flash the filmware for sim free uk but also change the sell code of the phone that kies recognice so that you can after that receiveu the uk updates from kies...its very easy..follow the instructions fomr the post on the galaxy sii development section..
[Galaxy S II General] :
currently this firmware has the worst battery life. the battery drain is caused in my situation by exchange active sync even there is nothing to sync.

it's amazing that with each android version and each company firmware version this component gets unusable.
[Galaxy S II General] jonsmith709:
Again why have they removed the sms themes, has every ones gone?, have they put it back on 2.3.4, battery life is better though :-)
[Galaxy S II General] 380AU:
Hey.

Just wondering why you've flashed the generic UK version, rather than the Australian version?

Refer to the post below.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15472394&postcount=2250

I've flashed mine to the KE7 XEU previously, and I'm trying to determine whether to flash to the XEU version of KF3 or the XSA Australian version.

I've noticed the XSA is a much larger file, so I'm wondering if this contains carrier branding?

The post above suggests not.
[Galaxy S II General] jj03:
lovely jubbly. go my galaxy s2 yesterday and after reading about kf3 from here, i flashed that mofo. no problems here.

Sent from my galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II General] turki4050:
this is my phone

latest firmware version PDA:kf3/PHONE:kf1/CSC:kf2 (xsg)

and i cant see the new update can anyone please explain why ?:confused::(
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's mine from today. I use all the syncs and Exchange push e-mail. The phone was on Wi-Fi overnight. I used the phone less than normal but almost 24 hours is still pretty impressive.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Show off :p
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Well at least I found the secret to incredible battery life. Don't use the phone. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
its not out yet for xsg phone..

its out for the csc code for sim free uk phones
[Galaxy S II General] rameshzombie:
I updated from KE8 to KF3... and my battery drain increased... i dint feel any upgrades...
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
on KF3, WIFI sleep policy is much better, now I dont have to turn it off, it does it by itself as it should. Also with the old firmware, KE7, KF1 I had to wait for at least 10-15 sec to reconnect, but now it does it in an instant :)
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
For me KF3 is an overall improvement over KE7
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Theres an improvment in bsttery life fot sure but its looking like the voice echo is still there.....
[Galaxy S II General] colonels:
while i have upgraded already, i am still experiencing the SLOW charging hot phone bug, where charging is very slow and phone is hotter than normal charging.

i have tried closing all apps and clearing ram memory still no effect

the only thing that fixes it is a complete reboot

any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II General] sonaplp:
Help! I had a rooted ke7/phone:ke4 and after i did a successful update via kies

my phone is now stuck on the launch screen and i can't do anything.

edit: nevermind from now on i will only use odin
[Galaxy S II General] p5x:
Sorry for the noob question but isn't this the same version that's been available in the development section for a while?

XWKF3
[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
I charged my phone fully on Saturday morning and pulled the lead out of it at 11am that morning.

It's now Monday heading for 11am and after frequent Tweetdeck'ing, a couple of calls, some SMS'ing, some music, a few photos, gmail syning, some GPS work and a few games of BlastMonkeys I now have 57% of battery left.

I don't leave my phone on overnight when I'm in bed so that's more accurately around 35 hours 'on time' so far for less than half a battery used.

The only odd thing I've noticed about KF3 is that the amount of time shown on the battery graph seems to sometimes start counting again for no reason ie it currently say "1 day 0 hours 30 min" when it should be higher. That's hardly a biggie, though, in the grand scheme of things.

KF3 is, it seems, the shizzle.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
I agree kf3 is getting to a more rounded phone, it will only get better guys and girls :)
[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
Choose a time when you can switch the phone off and charge it in that state, rather than while on.

It may not always be practical for you but just offering a perspective that might help.

[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I cant update Kies Air :S it gives me "Unable to download. Application not optimized for device(8002)"

Any ideas appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II General] Wazzamatazz:
I updated to KF3 on Friday and I've found that, since then, my phone no longer vibrates when I receive texts. Vibration still works when I receive incoming calls.

I've checked the phone settings and vibration is definitely enabled there and set to the highest vibration intensity. I've observed this problem both with the stock KF3 kernel with Chainfire's rooted flavour of KF3.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] WhatAmI:
Is KF3 really 2.3.4?

Just updated to KF3 but Android version still shows as 2.3.3

Double-checked that the update is correctly installed via Kies and all is good.

So is not the 2.3.4 update then... just some interim.

Info:

Android ver = 2.3.3

Baseband ver = I9100XXKE7

Build number = GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

Or am I missing something...?
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
kf3 is official update and 2.3.3

kg1 is a leaked update, not official from kies..and 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] :
as long as you don't need exchange push. you will have a good battery life. the best battery life with exchange push i had with KE2 firmware. on all other firmwares the battery life with exchange push is bad.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
KF3 = 2.3.3 Samsung release

KG1 = 2.3.4 NOT a Samsung release Its a leak reported as a test build not released by Samsung .

KG2 = 2.3.3 Samsung release .

[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Anyone found voice call quality has taken a nose dive over ke7 with this release?
[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
To be honest, no.

I've made a couple of longish calls since updating from KE7 and they were just as clear as before.

Never had an issue with mine and KF3 hasn't altered it otherwise.
[Galaxy S II General] OneZeoN:
Guys i dont know what this kies stuff is can anyone help lol?

How do i update? ive had a SGS2 since day one but never done any updates etc

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...XEU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

Kies is for backups, imports and firmware updates although a lot of people here prefer to use odin which is more reliable.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Gonna make some more calls and see if anything changes might just of been a one off.

The sound was kind of muffled almost like it was under water.
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
after a few days with stock kf3 ..

1..wi fi sharing is no more..

2..dialer appeared but does not seem to affect battery life...

3..with the same use as ke2 my battery life is x2...i dont use 3g and used to have a 2 day battery on ke2 and now my phone can last up to 3.5 days easily(not heavy use..brightness to zero..games only for a few minutes..wi fi on 2 3 hours per day..

4..phone is the same as before in terms of speed ..i didnt notice a change..
[Galaxy S II General] NkLAnT:
Hello guys, I found a problem with KF3... I don't know if anyone of you noticed but the sound quality of the music is very bad after upgrading from KE7 to KF3... If anyone can dig out some information if Samsung had changed some music codecs?! The same tracks I've been playing with KE7 sound like the BASS has been enhanced. The 5.1 channel is not working properly as well. It just gives it more BASS!!! All of the other things seem to work fine. The battery life is perfect now. 4 days without charging!!! The phone is not rooted. Please help about the sound quality problem!!! Awaiting your replies! Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] NkLAnT:
ANYONE ?????
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
No problem for me. Stock Rom. Unmodified.
[Galaxy S II General] NkLAnT:
So if it is a stock rom for you, then maybe you can't tell the difference... But still, don't you feel it's a little bassier than usual? Especially if 5.1 option is turned on? Someone said that Samsung Roms are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're getting... Unfortunately my name is not Forest Gump! :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Kf3 is a nice rom for us UK users abd im happy but..., when is the UK (XEU) getting 2.3.4?
[Galaxy S II General] tasty_boy:
my KIES says: PDA: KG1 / PHONE: KG3 / CSC: KG1 (DBT)

"This device cannot be updated"

why?
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
You have KG1, which is a test build of 2.3.4, but not official version. KF3 is Official version and on 2.3.3

[Desire General] Hazz0466:
Hey Buddys

I have just rootet my HTC Desire

All goes as ecspect, but when its done

There comes and kind of a soldier with gun icon

And when i enter it. Its be blank

I have tried unroot and restore

But the same result.

Help!!!
[Desire General] davebugyi:
What???

What did you do exactly?
[Desire General] vashishtuday:
try posting a picture of ur phone wid the soldier and gun icon , might become a good splash screen :P
[Desire General] noonamer:
use alpha revolutionary for this
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spunix:
Ok, a silly question... I sent my phone in to be fixed, it looks like they did a factory reset, if that is the case, is my phone likely "unrooted"?

How would I be able to tell?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSeanR:
Get into recovery mode to check if its s-off I guess, then download an app that needs root like titanium backup

Check s status by holding the trackball while booting up the phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spunix:
S-On it says so they "unrooted" my phone on me. Damn HTC lol...

Now I guess I have to think if I want to root again or leave stock... interesting thing was SuperUser was still on my phone but nothing else was, although CW wouldn't work when I redownloaded it...

Thanks though!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The "s" status of a Nexus One has nothing to do with whether or not the device is rooted...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
To check, download any app that requires root and see if it works. There is even a "root checker" app..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Or the obvious way...

$su

#
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Yeah, but for someone who is asking how to check for root, I think you would have to spell it out for him: download a terminal emulator app and then type su. If you see a # sign, you have root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallWalrus:
Is the superuser app a sure fire sign?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Not necessarily.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
No it doesn't guaranty it but most of the time it means it is. The best way to tell is to download terminal then type in it "su" then if the "$" prompt turns into a "#" prompt (after getting prompted by superuser) you have root access.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
If you do not know how to check if you got root then you do not need to be rooted in the first place.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSeanR:
I was gonna say that, but didn't wanna come off as rude. Lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebigbe:
terminal emulator > #su [enter]
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
My phone booted up into safe mode when I flashed rooted stock. How to I get out of it

EDIT: rebooted and still in safe mode. Not really worried because the phone still sems usable. its just annoying seeing the words 'Safe Mode' at the bottom left corner
[EVO 4G General] hoshmosh:
I cracked my screen yesterday and its bad. Spoke to Sprint repairs got angry at the new tep , but then I talked to Sprint cs and they gave me an override on my upgrade only lasting until the end of July. Well here I come. Samsung within , hopefully its released by the 31 :). Good thing I broke my screen or else my upgrade would have been wasted, and I would not have found out about it with out calling cs.

Tdrl??? Broke phone , granted new upgrade happy customer . If in wrong section sorry
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
Sprint techs are allowed to do a one-time courtesy screen replace, just fyi.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Damn that's no bad , I want to call about my upgrade as well but I'm not sure about sprint service today is good but for a few months I had really bad service :(

You might be able to get the photon 4g and exchanged it before 30 days :) ofcourse if it comes out before end of July
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
Sprint tech here. You received a sprint premier silver tier override good until july 31. We're doing it for all customers who were formerly a premier gold status until end of month. Not that its not a good thing, but they used your situation as the premise for the override instead of telling you the actual reason they did it.
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
Since you are on the inside I have a question for you:

I got my override last month for the 3D. I just returned the 3D today and had my upgrade restored, I verified it with 1311. Is that upgrade "for good" or does it also expire on the 31st of this month?
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
Honestly, even the tier overrides should last *IN THEORY* until you actually do the upgrade. No promises, as they may do a sweeping change like they did with the gold to silver conversion, but I doubt it. On a side note, I saw your other post on returning the 3d, and I agree with most. But the aspect ratio of the evo 4g is 4:3, and the 3d is 16:9. :-D
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
That's what I figured, re: upgrades, and I'm sure even if it isn't true a little polite *****ing my way up the ladder will do the trick...Sprint never fails to leave me satisfied, srsly. Favorite service provider ever. (I've been with Sprint on-n-off a long time, so, I know that wasn't always true, lol)

But, re: Evo4g aspect ratio....really? It's a hair off, I wouldn't have figured 12:9 (4:3) vs 16:9...that seems a bit more drastic. Another poster on the E3D subforum did the math to show that even though both are 4.3" the E4G has 200 square-MM more area. (~5000 vs ~5200)...and it is noticeable.

Either way, thanks for the response.

EDIT: thinking about it further if 800x480 is WVGA, which the E4G has...wouldn't 4:3 be 640x480? I know sure-as-hell that my oldschool VGA (no, not SVGA) monitor that maxed out at 640x480 was about as 4:3 as it gets.....but then this also depends on pixel shape.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
Since your a sprint tech I will ask you. Do you know what they would do if your original gold upgrade would have been August 1st. I lost mine and really want to get it back this once.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
+1 for my brother and the epic
[EVO 4G General] Headcase_Fargone:
I'm curious how you folks are eligible for upgrades already. I mean, the Evo just came out a little over a year ago. Did you not sign a two year contract to get it last June?
[EVO 4G General] KING SKILLZ:
if u got the evo around launch time last june just call Sprint and tell them the changes they made to premier customers, has stopped you from being elgible to upgrade, they will give you the upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
The cut off is July 31st. They allowed a 3 month window starting April 1st (when the new Premier changes took affect) to allow new Silver members to get their Gold upgrade via the Silver Tier Override.

If your upgrade is Aug 1st, you're out of luck.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
I'm still going to call because its only 1 day and that does not seem fair.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Not what I have heard. They will do a one time reinstatement for anyone who would have had one under the previous premiere gold.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
I called & called (retentions/ account services) but still I couldn't get the 1 year upgrade I would've had on July 1st.

You can buy out of contract ($75 after a year for me), do the buyback on the EVO 4G (-$150 off) & buy the 3D for $199, then Bill it to the account. ;)
[EVO 4G General] SilentSummer:
I suppose I should give Sprint a call to see if they will give me the upgrade. Though I have a feeling they will just brush me off.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
I was told that the deal with giving an override was actually from april 1st to june 30th. This was for the people who bought the Evo in June and this would allow those people or anyone who upgraded to anything to get their last and final upgrade. I got mine pushed through but I had to fight for it. They will do it but there has to be some documention of other issues.

This was my situation and your situation and results may vary. I have had nothing but problems lately and it was justified. I don't know if I will get the Evo 3d yet since I have seen a lot of problems with dust and radio issues. I guess I will wait for a little till HTC gives word on the Bootloader and build quality improves.
[EVO 4G General] hoshmosh:
really? I had asked if they were able to do anything about it and they just bluntly told me to go through insurance, since they didn't handle smashed screens anymore . This was the same comment received from one store and another located 20 minutes away.
[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
Each store is different. Some are hardasses about it, others (like my store) don't give a crap since we're paid on repair anyway. A happy customer and repair commission in our pocket trumps an Asurion claim.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I bought my evo in August last year (shoulda got an epic, but that's another story).

I called Sprint two days ago with that number that was posted in another thread somewhere. I tell the guy basically how I felt like I was screwed over with the policy change, because the entire reason I switched to Sprint was so I could be upgrade eligible every year (this is true). I then asked him if I could have my upgrade reset/moved up/whatever. He said no, that promotion ended on July 1st.

I was pretty upset, told him bye and hung up. I then went to play basketball. In between games, I checked my phone, and I saw that I got a voicemail. The same guy basically said that he "talked with his supervisor" and he would give me an upgrade as a one-time courtesy. So now as of today, I'm sitting on the full upgrade.

I'm gonna hold on to it for a while. I'm waiting for a Sprint iPhone. If those rumors are false, and it doesn't come this Fall, I'll pull the trigger on a powerful Windows Phone 7 device (hopefully one exists by then). If all else fails, I'll get the Galaxy S II.

Lost the original file. someone on another thread post they're original WPA_Supplicant file. replaced. update fails 1/4. tab is unrooted. could there be a problem with me having someone elses WPA_Supplicant file? or is it something else.. any way to bypass this? so very frustrated..
[Acer Iconia A500] Ceger:
Use Acer Recovery to flash original Acer recovery image. Then do the update.

[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
where do I locate the Acer Recovery? any links on a how-to.. much appreciated!
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
acer recovery

Pretty sure you get it from the market - I use CWM so not sure :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
how do you use CWM? im not sure how to recover original copy of acer.. I did find the Acer Recovery installer from the Market but not sure what to do..
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
not sure..

Should be pretty straightforward - never used it personally so not sure. Search around, you'll find info on using it.

CWM install is in the dev section, as a sticky post. Hard to miss :-)

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepsiaddict:
So today is the first day I am seeing a new icon on my Tab 10.1 that says "battery fully charged. Unplug charger". Its stuck around even after the tab has been unplugged and I can't see a way to dismiss it. Any ideas? Its weird, since getting my tab on launch day and charging it every night, this is the first I am seeing this message.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamowfski:
Reboot it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepsiaddict:
Good point. That got rid of the indicator and alsocaused the battery to drop from 100% to 90%. My wifi setting were all screwed up and I had to force close a samsung service a few times after the wireless started working again. Guess we'll see how it goes tomorriw morning.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemonyellowblack:
This happens to me quite frequently. When it happens, as you probably know, the tablet will say the battery is fully charged, regardless of the actual level of charge left. I avoid it by turning off my tablet while it's charging and avoiding turning it on until after I've unplugged it.
