Thank you! Really good people here

To Mr. haramizuki and especially to Mr. andydotph, thank you for helping me. I solved the problem by doing what Mr. andydotph said. I asked my sister and it turns out she accidentally messed up the settings but didnt tell me for fear that I will get mad. She said she cant remember what she pressed so she cannot revert it back at the time. Thank you again for your help. :)

flash chainfire's cfroot kernel.. the easiest way to root.. or you can download any custom rom that can be flashed thru odin.. you dont have to root ur phone to be able to do that..

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

after flashing do full wipe.. and wipe cache partition... and wait for the phone to install the software.. it will take at least 3-5minutes after rebooting..
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
i dont think he needs to do a full wipe at all if the only problem is the kernel. wiping dalvik and wiping cache usually does the job for me. unless he needs to reflash firmware again so its best to do a full wipe.

@zorlacwarez: what rom where you before flashing dxlp7? if you came from a gb rom then you need a full wipe. you wipe dalvik, wipe cache and wipe/format data. this makes sure the the new firmware doesnt encounter any problems since you'll be jumping from gb to ics. and afterwards you can flash cf root or any ics kernel you want to obtain root.

Maybe you could try sending it to the service center first. Just tell them kies screwed your phone while updating. In my experience with sm cebu, they don't even know what root is :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
you were updating it and sudden power failure happened. next thing you noticed, it doesnt turn on something like that... :)

is the JTAG and JIG different?
[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
what's best modem here in ph? caller on the other side can't hear me sometimes but i can clearly here them
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Yeah, Jtag is for phones that will not turn on because the bootloader is messed up etc. Jig helps us to go into download mode easily and removes the flash counter and triangle if you have an old bootloader.
[Galaxy S II General] nnblazaro:
you can try lps. i'm experiencing better network signal at wifi.
[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
how's battery life with the modem? others are experiencing batt drain with some modem. i just flashed nelp2 just now before reading your reply. will try lps if it nelp2 won't work for me :o
[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
Im using LPS with Globe, it seems to be the best so far for me. I get decent signal and battery life is fine.

ICS Bugs

I just upgraded my sgs2 to ICS and can also say that there is definitely a bug when turning wifi on (I am on LP7) and noticed some lags when scrolling up and down a list. Anybody also experiencing lags in temple run and other games after the ICS upgrade? :|
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
set the wifi to use 2.4Ghz. the bug hasn't occurred yet for the past 3 days until now... i always do on/off wifi because im mobile.

just try, coz it fixed mine.

most wifi operates on 2.4Ghz so you don't have to worry.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yaiks...nearest legit jtag i know is in the UK...hope there's one locally
[Galaxy S II General] red_hanks:

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Thanks dude :) I'll definitely try that out. Will post for updates on the results of that fix :D
[Galaxy S II General] astrogambit78:
Bro,

i don't know anyone here in manila offering that service.

Can it be restored by a jig?

this might help

http://www.tipidcp.com/viewitem.php?iid=3830536

If this can help, txt the seller just deposit the payment before 2pm and you'll get the jig the next day. cost me P200. i ordered one too. :D

sorry no intentions of advertising, just helping :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:

no reboot too. i wanna break my longest up time -2mos.

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
still no probs as of now dude. :) I hope this is truly the workaround for that bug :D

Anyway any of you guys bought a micro-usb to usb adapter for our SGS2? (sorry can't post a link, I'm a new user :( ) It's around 700php in the samsung store. I have yet to find an inexpensive alternative :| I went to cd-r king to find this accessory but to no avail. Anyone here who was able to buy a cheaper one? I don't care if it's branded or not, just want one that works and is cheap (kuripot mode) ;)

EDIT: Oh and please include in your post where you've bought this accessory :D
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
sorry to be the bearer of bad news. it happened again to me :( BUT i cant easily reproduce it. At least it happens "rarely" now. so almost 6 days. i think it's good enough than it was before. ill keep the setting still...
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
was just about to report that also, the bug happened to me just now. :| guess we have two options now, wait for a new update of samsung or flash that siyah kernel. :| ICS is making my other games lag too (like temple run) :|
[Galaxy S II General] clifffhanger:
Try NetChip kernel. So far no lags on apps but I only used UV no other tweaks ~ it has a very descent battery life as well. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
can u easily reproduce the bug? coz i cant.

im not sure why your temple run lag coz mine runs fine, including heavy games like gta3, six guns, dear hunter, etc. cant wait for max payne. completely stock.

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I also don't know why my games are lagging :| But when I was still in GB my games are running silky smooth, dunno why it ceased to be that way though.

Flashing a different kernel hasn't come into my mind that much as it might void my warranty. These bugs in ICS are quite tempting me to do so though :))

EDIT: Just tried playing GTA III, Eternal Legacy, Blood and Glory, Asphalt 6 (all of which are graphic intensive games) and haven't noticed a serious lag. What's puzzling is that both the games temple run and mega jump is lagging in my SGS2 :|
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
samsung's ICS is half-baked. see, there are lots of reports on software issue yet they dont do something about it.

no wonder they dont lock the bootloader. it's meant to be on custom rom. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
So true :| Here's hoping sammy will patch the bugs currently present. If not, I might have to flash then

New S2 user

Good morning everyone! I just bought my s2 yesterday and reading this forum makes me wonder, is the official update of ICS on s2 worth it? or is it much better getting a custom rom like dxlp7? :)

and is this the complete guide for installing dxlp7?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
If you don't want to root and want to stay in a bug free stock firmware, in my opinion stay GB. However, if you are determined to install a custom kernel and rom (to fix nasty ics bugs) then by all means, upgrade to ics :)
[Galaxy S II General] nnblazaro:
bro dxlp7 is not a custom rom. try cm9 if you want a custom rom. just read carefully. it's very easy to install. here's the link ~ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
[Galaxy S II General] hot ice:
Pardon me for asking, but what is thw wifi bug? And how can i reproduce it? I wanna see if i also have it. Im using dxlp7 and i dont see any issues i also dont have a problem with temple run lagging.

Only problem i got was with the lock screen not locking. But was easily fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ switching the wifi from off state to on - takes so much time. if the screen switches off your phone will no longer respond except on reset (hold power button for 10 seconds and release)

to reproduce:

1.) switch on your wifi. few hours, switch it off after few hours, switch it on again.

2.) play with the switch on, off, on, off , etc.

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
damn, even after wiping and reformatting my phone, temple run lag is still present. :| This just means that the ICS update by sammy is at fault or the temple run devs need to fix their app. Also, Flash05 ever since I went to factory settings, I have never come across the wifi bug again. I hope reformatting did it :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
it's a hit-miss on factory reset/reflash stock. some say it is still there, some say none.

im still keeping my 2.4ghz setting coz it is where it rarely happens. how did you perform factory reset?
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I honestly think the temple run app is at fault. All the other games I play with the ics update are virtually lag free.
[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
+1 Temple run is really at fault. Users from other roms have experienced the lag.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
guys tell me if this is a bug or feature: tap and hold the notification but dont let it drop. just enough to show the gray part. while at it, slide left/right brightness will change.
[Galaxy S II General] haramizuki:
tried it and nothing happened on my part. what rom are you currently on?

[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Dungeon Hunter shouldn't require any plug-ins to work. I suggest you remove them and try again, also make sure you're using the right version of the game.

[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
Stock dxlp7 not rooted. when you tap the natif. A gray bar appears. keep it steady and swipe your finger left/right. Dont let go of the notif bar nor pull down further. Or simply tap notif. and swype left right. Ill try to post vid if possible.
[Galaxy S II General] xath23:
It's a feature, hold the notification bar and slide right to left or the other way around. It's to quickly change brightness, it has been there since gingerbread.

Try using Auto-brightness it won't work then..
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i see, good to know it is not a bug. but a good one :)

is it samsung-specific feature?
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Flash05 up to now I haven't experienced it. I'll post here if ever I experienced the wifi bug again.

I started with backing up my apps first with titanium backup then formatted my sd and internal storage then click factory reset in settings. After which I then restored my apps again :) What's puzzling is now I don't have the temple run lag, after playing today. What I did was I restored my data in Temple run using TB then wiped the data after. As funny as that sounds, my save data for that game still remained, but now without the lag :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
you performed the root first right? then did the TI backup, factory reset, restore apps.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
yup :) that's what I did first. Rooted it through the link I provided before.

Hi guys!

Mabuhay! :)

Its glad to see my fellow kababayans being active here. :)

I am hoping to get some assistance on my problem with my gs2.

My gs2 is from Korea. it is an m250k version running gingerbread. My question is, have you guys tried updating it to a custom ics rom?

I am having problems trying to find the correct fix for it and I have been in the forums for hours but I haven't found a solution yet.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
mine is stock, but rooted. Can't see the advantage in installing a different unsecure firmware, as there are many customizations to install in hand already. Maybe if samsung halted support in developing sgs2 firmware, that would make me flash roms.
[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
Dude, i already tried it. What do you want ics korean or ics i9100? If ics korean update it thru kies.
[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
Mine is SHW-M250S korean i already change it to i9100 LP8 ICS...
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
what the difference between i9100 international and korean version? i read somewhere that the messages are limited to 80 char even if you use i9100 firmware.

and there is a digital tv receiver?

@xytherion - im using stock just like cyberlion17. i dont find the urge yet to use custom ROM unless there is a bug that i cant live with. so far the stock ICS of samsung does fine. it's definitely not the best, perhaps categorize it as half-baked (let me emphasize it further). im not even rooted yet.

btw, flashing is addictive. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
Yes 80 characters and you cant use go sms and hancent. If you change it to i9100 the tv is useless. Its okay your in the philippines. And there is no power menu if you change it to i9100. You need to root your s2 so that you can enable the power menu...
[Galaxy S II General] unamepword:
thanks for the reply!

I was hoping to use ICS for i9100. Can you give me tips on where to start? I already have rooted my phone. I have odin. But I dont have the next steps. like applying the i9100 firmware and the custom rom.

thank you in advance.

i can't help it but say my piece. samsung's ICS is half-baked.

its not even close to lugaw, lugaw-hilaw perhaps. :D

i may not be on custom ROM nor rooted (i9100) but my other Androids attest to custom ROM over stock is day and night.
[Galaxy S II General] joe_dsi:
its the same except the korean version will have no FM radio. Regarding the 80 char limit, this isnot true when you flash any i9100 firmware. You should get the character limit of the firmware flashed

Just download latest firmware from intratech. I like intratechs fw. Because he used old bootloader so that we can use our USB jig.
[Galaxy S II General] ryn888:
First you need to download iintratech fw. I already tried it from shw-m250s fw with 80characters sms to i9100 ics with 160characters.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
What I meant to say in my post was that I was contented with only stock, rooted as of now, since android offers a multitude of personalizations already. With having root you can do much further (setting cpu, creating fixes etc.). I am not meaning to influence the others of not installing custom roms. Sorry if my post seemed to be that way :P And yes, samsung's ICS is truly hilaw na lugaw :P It's up to us to rectify that issue :)

Oh. BTW, will reiterate my question again. Anyone who was able to find this accessory (micro USB to USB adapter or USB-on-the-go) in sgs2 which is cheap and can be bought here in the philippines? (as opposed to the samsung's expensive php700 one)

I've bought a USB jig and an OTG cable via ebay as well. It's funny how it's cheaper to buy off of ebay and it gets delivered to my door, unlike via tcp where you pay extra for shipping or have to travel to some meetup point.
