Whats the "non-wipe" version? Is that a version that retains the original phone data apps etc? I hope not or I will be annoyed lol.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkSkov:
MOM2006

I noticed this too on the last few ROMs I tried...I have been fighting ridiculous battery drain recently. I have a sneaking suspicion that the culprit was not the ROMs but the Battery Monitor from 3C. Now I'm not saying it's a bad piece of software, I love the info it gives, but depending on the settings you have it might not be doing your phone justice. All I can say is that since I removed that app, I have much less drain on my battery; personally I can do without the extra information if it's not helping the battery.

@Intratech and anyone else on O2 UK / GiffGaff networks:

Are any of you guys having instability issues with the KG2 modem? I mean like data dropping out to "no signal" rather than swapping between 2G and 3G; or the phone not being able to initiate a call if in a low signal 3G area (and then not swapping to 2G)?

I'm having both these issues and it's highly annoying!

Swapping back to the KF3 modem fixes the problem for me, so its definitely something in the modem file; just wondered if it's a "global" thing or just where I am in London.

(the KG1 modem did this too, but worse)
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The XXKG2 modem has been quite stable for me actually and it's the one that I've kept on the device
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:

Noob question;

I'm using Rooted KG1 right now, no custom rom or anything, just flashed CF's rooted kernel on top of stock KG1.

If I were to flash this one on top of it using Odin, would that wipe out the data or just upgrade with all preferences intact?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
It'll just upgrade, I did the same but with the custom darky2 KG1 (Very close to stock).
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Even if it doesn't wipe, you should wipe between ROM upgrades anyway, just as a good practice. Learn to use Titanium Backup and you'll restore all your data in 2-3 minutes after a full wipe. You can't believe how many problems posted on this forum are because of leftovers from previous ROMs the user had on his device.

[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
Maybe it's just a trait of being in a low signal area, but that's certainly not my experience so far...

I've just done a wipe install of KG2, *just incase* there was something screwy going on with my phone. I'll test KG2 modem again and report back...
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
The KG2 modem for me is fine as well no drop outs whatsoever.
[Galaxy S II General] :
my problem is that the battery performance with KG1 was better compared to KG2. It goes down from 2,5-3 days to 1,5-2 day. so i tried to find some monitoring tools.

anyway currently it is a kind of lottery with the ROM - hardware - software combination. with every ROM update there are massive changes in the battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkSkov:
Yeah I must admit, it does seem that the battery life is a little worse from KG1 to KG2. I'm having difficulty in telling much at the moment though as I actually just got a replacement phone (problem with USB port) and so my new battery is still bedding in.

I suppose to check if it is the ROM or the battery monitor you could check the gradient of the battery line in airplane mode with the monitor on and off and after waking...hopefully we should be able to see if it is not going back to sleep again properly.

wipe or no wipe

what exsactly is the diffirence between a "no wipe" and a "wipe" version. no wipe seems much more userfriendly and no pain in the ass to reinstall all apps.
[Galaxy S II General] zabihjan:
any news on arabic and persian support
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
One wipes your device /data and the other one doesn't.
[Galaxy S II General] lector007:
yes i know that but what is the difirence once you installed it. why would you do a wipe install if a non wipe is just the same.

i am trying to figure out witch one to install. does a non wipe keeps you rooted?
[Galaxy S II General] :
i removed now the monitor. didn't make a test in airplane mode but in normal mode the phone is in "sleep mode" as expected. there a only wakeup times in the background when the email client is checking mails. with the montior installed there were more wakup times. so in my eyes the running battery monitor will have an huge impact of the battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
but there will be problems/errors when using the non-wipe version to upgrade from a 2.3.3 ROM (stock KF3 in my case)? I was told that apps/settings don't like that, is that right? TB is giving me a hard time (causing FCs and errors when restoring apps/settings) and I want to keep all my settings and stuff the way I configured it.
[Galaxy S II General] gottfroa:
will this one increase the counter ?
[Galaxy S II General] ghmail2:
I have a green screen when I played hard 3d games, and it required a reboot to run the games correctly, revert back to 2.3.3,all seems OK now, hmm the official is not likely coming this July, still not stable as a release
[Galaxy S II General] hotsync100:
It depends on what you want/need ... If you don't mind install everything again or restore your TB, install wipe firmware.

None of these stock firmwares will keep you rooted. You will need to root again.

[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Well I`ve downloaded and tried to flash via Odin as CSC after update to XXKG2, but fails.

Flash was performed in the order as follows:

1. Flashed XXKG2 over odin (wipe on) including all 3 files: PDA, Phone, CSC-went fine (PASS).

2. Flashed Multi CSC with SEB extracted from XXKE7 (FAIL).

Attemp 2:

1. Reverted to XXKE7, reflashed XXKG2 (PDA and Phone, no CSC).

2. CSC (SEB) is not accessible.

Any solution how to add manuallu CSC from previous version 2.3.3?

Thnx in advance!!!
[Galaxy S II General] mimstyle:

Mine is 65-70% with kg1 it was 20-30% in idle.
[Galaxy S II General] :
with KG2 it's on 26% -> 29m 34s

battery runtime: 18h 41m 52s

phone mostly in standby over night: email sync, weatherwidget and background sync is active. 3G connection is active, Wifi is disabled.

phone calls: 5 % -> 3m 32s

display: 5 % -> 7m 18s

battery is now @ 86%. so there is not really a drain and thats good.
[Galaxy S II General] Binman_UK:
Hi all,

I put Darky XXKG2 Odexed (wipe) on last night and everything seemd to go well at the time.

However, does anyone have a problem choosing the wireless network certificates?

I emailed myself some certificates, saved them to "/download" and when I click on "Install From USB Storage" it says "usb storage not available". The files are definitely there because when I plug the phone into my PC I can see them.

It didn't do this with the previous Darky ROM I used (XXKG1 beta 2)

Any ideas? Any help much appreciated!

[Galaxy S II General] Daniele150cv:
Hello Guys :)

I want to say a great THANK to Darky for the no-wipe version :)

But..i have hear that the no-wipe version have some issues (ex: connection not work, ecc..)

I ask if some issues are true or only the first comments of noob users that haven't right installed the rom?

In Your opinion...what is the best solution to install this KG2? Wipe or no-wipe version?

Thank a lot :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
use the wipe version, install everthing from scratch and you will not running into troubles
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:

Diff CSCs HOME-MULTI vs. MULTI?

I understand the instructions that for CSC clearly file "GT-I9100-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5" should be used.

What is the difference to file "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG2.tar.md5"?

Some web sites (which as a new forum user I can't post as I'm prohibited to post any outside links :mad:) asks explicitly to use this other file.

Sorry if this question is dumb and the answer obvious. I'm new to this, and did not find a solution using various searches.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
Are you putting the CSC package in the CSC section of Odin for the flash? After flashing you may need to manually select your CSC version and press install from the preconfig menu.
[Galaxy S II General] lifenight:
Thank you

Thank you for non wipe version, it seems to work really great !
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
Yes, I'm putting CSC package in the CSC section of Odin, after submit "START" and several minutes later Odin states "FAIL".

So the problem is in the putting CSC package.

Exchange Activesync

Can anyone confirm if the battery drain problem when using exchange activesync is fixed with this update?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Flash_Gordon:
Even though I wiped mine 'by accident' rather than intent, I have to agree with this statement.

Although it has been a bit painful re-installing, re-rooting and re-setting up the phone.....it has been absolutely error free and I have had no Forced Closures at any time over last 3 days when testing Flash vids, etc....since I updated to 2.3.4.
[Galaxy S II General] Daniele150cv:
I think that issues related to the NO-wipe version are due to the persistence of files/data of system apps by previous roms which were installed...

if you not want any problem I found two solutions :)

1) Install the wipe version

2) Install the no-wipe version and, at the first boot, you do a factory/data reset by typing code :D

Both cases causes you lost all apps and data (except file into your sd-card )

If you want to "reduce" the losses you can make a root of you phone, install TitaniumBackup free from the market and replace the previously backups of you apps and account installed :)

I hope this helps anyone ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Vulpix:
Funny my phone is working beautifully without wipe after flashing over KF1. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
Been using this firmware for more than a day now and didn't have any problem with Exchange whatsoever. I installed everything from scratch.

So far, this ROM seems rock solid. And battery consumption looks normal. I lost 6% in 10 hours of sleep with 3G data on, some stuff syncing (Beautiful widgets, SNS, Exchange).
[Galaxy S II General] :
it's still present if you are using push instead of a fixed intervall
[Galaxy S II General] Davith:
I'm using Push for my Hotmail account through Exchange and I'm not getting any drain.
[Galaxy S II General] AeronK:
Davith and MOM2006

Thanks for the responses. I am currently on KF3 and all is well appart from push on exchange. Gmail push is ok, but exchange gives severe battery drain of 10%/hr. I think I may wait for the official release and hope it is fixed then - unless one of you has done a full wipe install and the other a non-wipe install? which is giving different results. Also, Davith are you using push or scheduled sync?

EDIT: sorry Davith, just noticed you say push for Hotmail!

thanks both.
[Galaxy S II General] Elar:
Had to flash back to XXKG1 modem (previously KG2) because of the same issue. Data transfer just freezes and you have to deactivate/activate packet data to get it working again.

Using my phone for internet connection and can clearly see when connection hangs.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I made a full wipe install.

Another bad thing after charging once the phone leaves the standby and you are doing some calls or browsing the net, writing some mail the drain gets higher and higher.

e.g. i charged the phone fully and left the phone in standby over night. i had a drain of about 0,5 - 1% per hour. on the next day i used the phone as normal. a few mails lets say 1 hour phone calls, 10 minutes browsing. then over night the phone was in standby. drain now 2-3% per hour. so something else than exchange mail still causing heavy battery drain. I'm not using WIFI only 3G connection.

what i also noticed. some time the exchange calendar sync goes wild. it's syncing every minute even there are no events to sync.

i also thing that the original weather widget has some issues. even if it is set to sync every 3 hours it would not do it.
[Galaxy S II General] AeronK:
Thanks MOM2006, thats all useful to know. At the moement I am going to wait for official release in the hope that these things will get ironed out. My battery drain yesterday on KF3 was 9% over 12 hrs, not much phone use so generally just on standby but was pleased with that.

[Galaxy S II General] kocekin:
Thank you for the suggestion for a "complete wipe".

One question about Titanium Backup: Can it backup my TouchWiz config? I mean, the widgets, shortcuts and stuff like that. I believe other launchers have an internal backup mechanism but TouchWiz has no such thing...
[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
You also will not believe that restoring via titanium has a chance of encountering problems. If u still doesnt encountered it, then good. But if you search a little you'll find many threads about it :)
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I don't use touchwiz, but it should. Just restore "TWLauncher" with "Data Only" option and it -should- work.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
That's why I said "learn to use" Titanium Backup. n00bs try to restore system apps from old ROM into the new ROM and screw it up. If you only restore data from system apps that you need, you should be fine. I personally only restore user apps and data and I've never had any problems. I always wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing any ROM, even if it's not needed.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I second this question.
