[Galaxy S II General] Jake-CT:
Given that video is broken in gtalk it seems like this wont be the last 2.3.4 update. I installed it but not seeing any improvements over KG3 after a day.

Biggest improvement I found to battery life came from freezing some samsung processes and removing Facebook widget and app. Bloatreezer is interesting as it will show you processes running at any given time, which are often very surprising. I could easily get three or more days standby now but dont plan to test it as who wants to just have such a rocking phone sitting idle???
[Galaxy S II General] Tricky103:
Sure. Just use copy and paste
[Galaxy S II General] ReeX:
Overall, would you make the switch from kg1, assuming i'm not interested in gtalk video?

Unless you would expect a new release soon to fix missing video

Spend less time gawking at the android os bug and more time getting on with your life ffs.
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
Admittedly I haven't read through the entire topic, but I see a few still asking about thoughts on KG6.

Well, I upgraded from KG2 (I read that KG3 was terrible so never bothered with it)

Since upgrading from KG2, I don't see any real BIG differences, but I have noticed that the FM radio thing doesn't show up on my lock screen anymore...

As for battery, well, (I'm using Battery indaicator to inform me of these details)

I have had the device unplugged for 16 hours and the battery is still at 94%

although I have barely used my device, I had it playing music for an hour since my last charge.
[Galaxy S II General] nicpol7:
are we sure that the problem is an android os bug ?i also have always android os about 15 to 20 % and the dialer app at about 10% but i am sure that the persentages are not correct..maybe the bug is the persantages shown .if you play games a lot you can easily see the battery drained in no time..but your game will have a % of 6 or 7 only...
[Galaxy S II General] Hamst0r:
Well, i dont reached such a nice standby time yet, not with KG1, KG2, KG3 or any other rom. I flashed KG6 yesterday, we'll see.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Not really, i played games which ranked the highest percentage in my battery drain. But some games don't drain battery more than the screen does while playing them, so your screen will have a high percentage, rather than the game you play ;) This thread turned into an android os bug thread instead of thoughts about KG6 firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] SmilerOnline:
Admittedly, I'm not really all excited about testing this firmware for general use, I just want a temp FW that will stop my battery from running out in a day... until we see the next official (Stable) release from Samsung...

So Ideally, if I want to browse the web when I'm out, I can still think about browsing the web again later in the day without having to think... errr... if I browse again now, will that make my battery run out before I get home...

lol...
[Galaxy S II General] lschengtao:
24 hours of depletion.

screen consumes 93%

system 4%

games 3%

…
[Galaxy S II General] rdy2go:
13 hours, 2 hours 50 minutes screen on, gmail sync, exchange sync, wifi or 3g

Unmodified rom...

63% available, amazing

I suspect indicator is wrong, normally it used to die with the same usage patter with previous roms.

Or

Major bug fix helps phone last longer

Problem with video reproduction

Guys I have a problem: when I play a video more than 20min It lags and even freezes, I have to restart the phone. Anyone else with the same problem? I´m in KG6, but the same happened in KG3.

Any thoughts?

Phone: Sansung Galaxy S II

Baseband: XXKG6

Kernel: Supercore 1.4

ROM: DarkyROM2 XXKG6
[Galaxy S II General] Mr Antonz 85:
guys is this a UK release firmware?

can it be used for UK phones im on three network?
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
You're correct. I should've said close to zero or at least low enough not to show up on the battery usage list.

It's interesting that by simply disabling logging in the kernel you can reduce the Android OS to negligible amounts. It's also interesting that the overall battery drain is similar to a bloat-free stock ROM.

Thanks, you've made some interesting observations.
[Galaxy S II General] dseo80:
Although android OS is zero you still get the suspend and events/0 during sleep =/.
[Galaxy S II General] kbiz90:
That may be true but that implies you should get significant battery drain while the screen is off. I can get 2% or 3% battery drain over eight hours with the screen off. Bug, shmug. I'll take that kind of drain any day of the week.

[Galaxy S II General] nishadh:
Okay...is it just me..or someone else is also getting a ****ty reception on wifi ever since the beginning. I was hoping this update will have better wifi reception but its the same.

My actual question is, is this a software or an hardware issue?

I have checked the wifi reception on my s2 by keeping it next to my laptop, my ipad and also next to my brother's blackberry every time the reception on gs2 was the worst.

For me this bug is more ****faced than the "AOS bug"

normally the other party ends the call before the screen wakes up

this is for me the most irritating problem with this phone which I would love to see resolved.

[Galaxy S II General] Universeal:
there is a big bug on kg6 with aos. 1d22h Aos 72% and has been up for 3h23m21s. They need to fix this. This is drain the battery a lot and that's why we can't get a lot of usage for many days.

On kg3 it was much better but on kg6 the battery goes very fast.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
What do you guys mean by 1 second lag after answering the phone ?

Help

Hi Every body

I am new to Andriod OS so dont know much about it. I have few questions regarding this update.

I have recently updated my Galaxy s2 to firmware XXKE3 through KIES which is the latest version in my region(India).

I want to update mine to XXKG6, can i directly upgrade it from XXKE3 to XXKG6?

Does it have any disadvantages as this firmware is for UK (I am not sure).

My mobile is not rooted so can any one please provide me the link to update to XXKG6 with out root.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] Anyatan:
Is there any issues with data connectivity?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Yeah to me this is much more important than the os bug thing.
[Galaxy S II General] madhunt3r:
Exactly...
[Galaxy S II General] obionenairobi:
I think i have misread the earlier post.

I dont have the lag when answering a call but when I was in a call it takes time before the screen wakes up / shows the hang up button.

I never had this on the htc Desire or any of the Iphones i had

This for me is the only thing which keeps the SGS II the perfect phone
[Galaxy S II General] madhunt3r:
I have too this bug ;/
[Galaxy S II General] ImpheOtus:
I thought it was meant to be that way because the proximity sensor turns off the screen so you don't touch any button with your face. It takes less than a second to wake up when you take the phone away of your face because it is waiting to be sure you pulled the phone away and not just move it to accomodate it while talking.

Something like that :P
[Galaxy S II General] radiobicho:
Wipe your phone BEFORE and AFTER flash XXKG6 and you wont have any kind of bug!!! Unless gtalk with no video. But for this you find a solution here on thread.

[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
Mate drop the attitude and trying to insult people who you don't really know... Although his post was waiting for a bit of flaming.

Not that this is yet another battery thread but....

For starters this 3% drain is high for just being on idle. That equates to a prediction of only 30 hours pure standby which is very low.

Whether its a bug, well don't know because it could be a number of other things he has running in the background that could be sucking the battery, even though its a slow suck.

Last time I checked I get 3% drain over 8 hours of pure sleep with no email sync, other things syncing every 4 hours like weather, facebook etc and I find that very acceptable.
[Galaxy S II General] dreamyworld:
I have just updated my mobile to XXKG6.

Somewhere i read like this update will wipe out all the data, but it doesnt happen with me

I am unable to find any differences in functionality(still testing) even though my phone shows that im on GINGERBREAD.XXKG6.

I have downloaded the file from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Just installed KG6 and the good, no the fantastic news is that there is no more pink spot in pictures! ...may have already been gone in kg2 or 3, I skipped those two, but right now I'm extremely happy about that.

What I'm not so happy about though, is the fact that the video chat enabled skype apk can not be installed anymore. Had it running without problems on KG1, but now it won't even install. Has anyone experienced the same, our does someone know about an updated apk?

greets! and thanks to samsung for all these updates and fixes!

everyone with lags (except homebutton lag): do you use any task killer? these are maybe killing tasks u need in the background for faster responsiveness...
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
My continued testing with KG6 (and to a lesser extent with the other KG firmwares) is now pointing to a major data loss bug somewhere within the modem files.

The symptoms of this are that the phone "looses" all it's APN data and is unable to restore the defaults, or to create a new APN. (the application process will crash on creating an APN).

This having happened then seems to cause the phone to not be able to scan and / or register on a network. The phone reports no connection available (the circle with a diagonal line through it) and won't even go into emergency only mode.

The only solutions I've found so far are to completely re-flash the firmware; although even that isn't 100% reliable.

... the bad news is that this seems to get caused the second you restore the SMS/MMS/APN data from TitaniumBackup. However, wiping that data again will NOT fix the problem :(
[Galaxy S II General] Eria78:
After updating to KG6 with no wipe version my phone do no longer ask me for a pin code and I got no mobile network service.

When looking at parameters off line mode is on and I can't uncheck it.

I tried to flash back to KG3 and other versions (wipe one) but the problem was still present. (It wasn't before)

Clearing dalvik cache and data cache didn't help. Neither resetting factory settings.

Anyone got any idea how can I solve this ? I'm really desperate I can't think about anything else to do ! :-/

Edit : for anyone who might be interested => it was a problem with my sim card. It tested with others sims and it was working ok. Mine on another device was not.

I changed my sim and everything is allright now
[Galaxy S II General] Flowbax:
Same here. I hate to wait for the screen to wake up. It feels like 1.5-2 sec for me. All these updates and no fix for that.
[Galaxy S II General] jerome.d:
I'll have to make more tests, but the GPS seems very crappy on KG6. When using the GPS with Maps, I get a position which is 2-3km away from my real position (even if I had the Wifi network). Without the GPS, the position is within 50m of my actual position...

Battery use (KG2)

Totally un-scientific test but what I've found is that WiFi is the biggest drain on the phone and in particular WiFi N usage.

Tests over 3 nights (left over night same apps running each night)

1st night Connected via WiFi N connection - lost 40% battery in 7 hours

2nd night Connected via WiFi G connection - lost 15% battery in 7 hours

3rd night Connected via 3G/HSPDA - lost 8% battery in 7 hours

Charging the battery also takes twice as long when connected to WiFi N

Don't know if this is a bug or the power requirements of WiFi N (maybe that's why Apple don't/won't support it?)
[Galaxy S II General] mtv1507:
Hello guys,

Could someone tell me if I can go from XXKG1 to KG6 directly using ODIN or are there any steps involved? Also do I need to Wipe clean to see any significant differences?

Lastly, are there any real updates/upgrades from KG1 to KG6?
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
yes thanks i was being a noob new to all this android stuff want to learn about flashing roms but will stick to using stock firmwares at the min...

question know off topic but is it just as easy to flash a rom as using odin to install new firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] Flowbax:
Easy? YES! Hard? Yes!

You see it all depends who is doing the flashing. It's very easy if you search and read some of the tutorials people have taken time to write. Thats the easy part. The hard part is following a tutorial. It seems that some people just can't stay away from pit file or fuc*k up the phone in some other way... Like not doing things in right order. Read the tutorials and decide for yourself if it's something you can handle, otherwise leave the phone alone. Warranty is gone if you play with it.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
ok kool thanks i aint had a chance to sit down and read through it yet properly flashing stock roms via odin and using superoneclick was very easy... i am generally good with a computer so think puting a rom on should be very simple
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
Doesn't work!
[Galaxy S II General] mtv1507:
Yes, I found it much more easier than using Kies. The issue with Kies is that whenever we try to upgrade, Kies will download the new ROM realtime. I haven't found any repository in Kies that allows for pre-downloaded ROMs. But in ODIN, all we need is the right ODIN version and a reliable ROM.

If rooted, you could just use Titanium Backup to save your data.

Been saving my game save files since my Galaxy S days that way.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I always wipe before flashing even non-wipe ROMs. I just use Titanium Backup to restore missing apps with data and don't touch system apps. I've never had a problem.

I think most of the strange problems people face here are caused by not wiping between ROM changes. Old system stuff gets left back and causes problems.
