judging from this post and the one in the fb groups my best guess is that this is rik:D...there's a current discussion concerning wifi's on siyah thread (general though) maybe it can help...you can ask entropy, goodluck though if he replies but i guess he will...[/QUOTE]

yes jay it's me :D

i tried changing ROMs ( stock ) and KERNELS ( stock ) same issue encountered :(

i think cho (machoboi) has answered your query on it...it maybe indeed doing a full wipe before reflashing a rom (stock or custom)...what may have been causing your problem are overlaps of files inside...a clean wipe and reflash will most probably fix your issue:p
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
links are working already... thanks for the heads up sir. i understand that if we would want to update to official ics, we need to flash both stock firmware and kernel right?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
depends on the package...most of the time packages from xda are single tar files...samfirm usually 3 separate ones (rom kernel modem)
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
i guess im just gonna have to ask for help/assistance when the time comes that i need to flash official firmwares again.hehe.

thanks

guys! has anyone tried this on their s2? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523760. beats ported to all gb roms. :)
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Beats is ****. Its basically a software DSP processor.

I doubt many people are going to bother with it. You're better off buying PlayerPro or something from the market and using the built in sound adjustments.

[Galaxy S II General] mixtapes08:
Much better if you have dsp manager and kernel that supports voodoo sound improvements by supercurio.

[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
havent tried it yet actually. was reading galaxy sl forums and its said to be working on all devices running gb roms. with good results also. just wanted to confirm if anyone here has tried it themselves and experienced audio improvement.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
yesterday i was observing 4S and i noticed that they have this home/menu button overlay. pressing it present the user with home button, back, etc. And i remember seeing the same in ipad.

is there such app on android? home button on top of the app and translucent?

so that no need to press the physical button?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
Look for the button savious app mate...no more physical buttons...
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
Voodoo set plus dsp manager or even players do the same kabayan...as suggested by geko...
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
go it. button savior. not rooted so some features doesn't work. i just need the home. still trying to see what i can do with this.

any other alternatives?

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

thanks got it! any other alternative. i think i just need the home button. :)

im using it, just now... doesnt work full func if not rooted. sometimes screws up go launcher and go locker... anyway i'll use it for the meantime.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
thanks! out of plain curiousity i flashed it last night.:D i consider myself an audiophile...i guess. hahaha! so i flashed it to see or rather hear what the fuss is all about. personally i didnt noticed any significant improvement in audio..maybe there was a change but i really couldnt say its that noticeable. im using philips in-ear earphones o'neall edition and though its not as loud as compared with other earphones out there, im very settled with it atm. if there was any enhancement on audio after flashing beats audio, i think its just minimal. but then again its just me. hehehe. if there is well and good but i dont use my phone to listen to songs anyway. :D:D

ill give voodoo a try soon. thanks for the suggestion sir :)

PowerAMP is all I need ;) and that Sennheiser (IE 8) is freakin ridiculous have the chance to test it. I wish I had one :D
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
indeed...tried it too last night and used my dj headphone (so i can detect minute difference in bass, treble and range pico)...there is a subtle but neglectable difference, and i wouldnt say it as an improvement in the bass and pico ranging (wide setting to be precise)...reverted back to normal voodoo loud and dsp manager...easier to tweak without touching root system:D

android OS :54%

guys i need help...:(

i noticed that my week old samsung galaxy s2 is having battery problems..

when i go to settings in battery usage tab, i saw that Android OS uses 54% of my battery..how do i fix this?

i have done turning off wi-fi, auto-sync, installed juice defender, turned off motion sensor, turned off 3g..but still my phone just last i think 8 hours of use..and i dont fiddle with it heavily..is this normal?

my android version is 2.3.6, not rooted or anything. just the stock from samsung..can u help me guys?:(
[Galaxy S II General] jclad1:
That's the Android OS bug which was present in 2.3.3.. I'm also on 2.3.6 battery life is much better but I'm rooted and using a custom rom.. Have you installed apps lately? There are apps that continue to run in the background even after you use them.. Go to your Task Manager and make sure there are no active applications when you are not using you're phone.. You can also check for apps that run in the background, Settings > Applications > Running Services to check for any rogue apps that may be draining battery..
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
I know, I just want to let him know there are a lot of cases to choose from ;)

[Galaxy S II General] geraldgeron:
guys..newbie here..recently got an s2.former i had galaxy ace..

any good kernel that had long battery life?

the best kernel for you guys..?

thanks..more power..

i want to try a kernel in our sgs2 but using stock rom..is it possible?

ill just flashing the kernel?

i got i9100

baseband DXKL1

kernel: DXKL3-CL814816root@DELL137 #2

build no gb.DXKL3
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
this was suggested to me by fellow member here sir Jermitano:

"if you want to play around with tweaks and voltages try siyah (any version)...if you want excellent combination of batt and performance try redpill (1.3)...both of them have touch recovery...if you want flash and forget kernels try either speedmod(k20) or neak(1.3)...but i think recently released stock kernels have improved a lot recently...you can flash them all...just wipe cache and dalvik before flashing anything..."

depends on your preference. so maybe you can give each kernels mentioned a go. :)

redpill and siyah works on stock roms.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
You should start at either of these, take note these are just my suggestions.

N.E.A.K v1.3

SiyahKernel v2.6.9

speedmod k2-18

They are previous versions not the latest but the most stable and give utmost battery performance.

Personal favorite SiyahKernel v2.6.9 w/ uc or uv. My phone lasted about close to 5 days with minimal usage and 2 days w/ heavy usage but that depends on every user on how they use their phone.

Also for those music lovers poweramp has a BIG SALE which will last for 48 hours only get it now for 85.14php ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jclad1:
I'm having my best battery life right now with Neak 1.3.3. also with some uv, uc and some tweaks. Even better than Siyah 2.6.12 in my opinion.

Like what others have said here it depends mostly on the user.. Try out different kernels to find out what's best for you.. neak or siyah would be a good place to start.:)
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Tried Siyah 2.6.12 last time had to revert back to .9, lost almost 6% in 8hours idle mode due to many wakelocks, still have to test v2.6.13 :D
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
Im using DarkKnight V2.5.2..has the features of siyah. I have no problems with battery as it can last for a day and a half to two on regular usage. I like this kernel coz it increses wifi range.:p
[Galaxy S II General] mixtapes08:
Which phone do you prefer sgs2 or galaxy nexus?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Galaxy S II General] jclad1:
GS2 because its what I use!:D

Galaxy Nexus gets some attention because it comes with ICS but once the S2 gets an official ICS update it will be even better than Gnex..:)
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
they're almost similar in terms of hardware specs which for me would mean that both phones would go a long way in terms of development. but id go for S2. Mozillas's Boot to Gecko project is very promising and they are using S2 as their test device. Im really excited to see it fully functioning on our S2's. would be very awsome and entirely different experience.:)
[Galaxy S II General] sicnarf816:
guys anyone here encoutered SMPL error with android logo.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yeah 2.6.12 has a lot of wakes (the "wifi" bug) and minor bugs which makes it a fast but least bat friendly of the siyah line (though heavy uv compensates somewhat as i get a good solid 2 days for it)...neak 1.4 is even better with the lionheart tweaks

guys, should i root or not?

guys, im really torn if I;m gonna root my sgs2 or not..:(

I want to root my phone coz im having a battery problems ( mentioning it is only a week old), coz i heard rooting your phone improves battery life...

but im concerned about the warranty of my phone...and will i able to get the official ICS update after i rooted my phone? would i still be able to update to ICS once it is officially released?

can u help me guys? thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
you can wait till ics arrives in our s2's but we dont know for sure when in march will that be. if you really want to root you can also do that and then just return to stock for warranty purposes and for you to be able to get official ics when it comes. :)

when i charge my battery it says its 100%..

but when i unplugged the charger it immediately drop to 99%...

is my battery busted? it is only a week old..T_T
[Galaxy S II General] jclad1:
haven't tried 1.4 yet.. I've heard it is better than 1.3.3.. but maybe I'll wait a bit more since I just flashed this this past week..

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

I've heard of others getting 96% immediately after a full charge.. Strange because I never had this issue.. Try pulling the battery after a full charge, wait a few seconds then replace and reboot..
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Did you hear the beep that its says full charge? :D There's a chance that when you charge your phone whenever you see the 100% you removed it in fact that its not really fully charge. IMHO

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
thats normal dont worry...just let it be plugged a bit more for a full charge...paranoia aside (as with some here who are now "experts") just use your phone as you normally do...with the latest stock before i enjoyed a long battery life with normal use (20 hrs to be precise)...if you are not satisfied then try to learn now on how to customize your phone...no shortcuts, read and learn...your phone is indeed your own responsibility...besides the resources needed are here...we'll point you to that direction :D

Yeah kabayan.. im actually selecting on that two devices. But im so much inlove with google phones so much development in there but i heard that sgs2 have many developers too. So im confuse right now. But ive tried those 2 phones and kinda dissapointed on a none rooted gnex its kinda sloppy it lags like hell.. my nexus s which have single core is much faster than it and then ive tried sgs2 and wow flying in speed. I have read some specs on the s3 and wtf still dual core dont know what samsung is thinking. But maybe ill buy sgs2 and see you all here more often. :)

anyway i reinserted my sandisk 8gb class4 SD. after few hours random reboot starts to happen again. i already tried formatting it too using the built-in format.

what i did is keep it inserted and unmounted it. so far one 1 reboot has happened yet.

what do you guys think? faulty SD?

Guys how updated is Intratech in posting official firmwares? i know im not supposed to ask it here but maybe i just wanna know base on your experiences? :D Reason i asked this is because ICS is almost coming so Im hoping that Intratech would also post official ICS firmware so maybe we dont need to use KIes? hehehe

It will be out when it will be out ;) also when it will be release in our region it will be updated so all we can do is wait patiently and NOT ALL will be updated to the latest official ICS in march 15.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
yep read that..other articles said first quarter of 2012 so it could be that ICS will be rolled out here in our region by end of march. if there's one thing that is certain, we are definitely tasting ics.;)

what i was actually asking was how updated Intratech in posting latest firmwares like when GB updates officially rolled out. But i guess you're right, it will be out when it will be and we'll all just have to wait.:)

indeed a bluff...and i dont understand why some people still claim its legit and keep on posting that it will happen blah blah (which sorely misinforms a lot of people)...the real announcements are thru the samsung mobile tweets...but for me personally id wait for a repacked one from here...kies is just a crappy updater...

I don't understand why you guys hate kies. It has always updated for me flawlessly. Even when coming from intratech's repackaging.

not much to being angered by it hehe...but it pushes updates slow and sometimes undercuts it (wish it had the same options with itunes on just downloading a package) and the transfer between files sometimes is messed up...probably more on the thought that it pushes updates as well...with the income samsung has i guess they could do better:D

if you made a nandroid backup in CWM before installing a custom rom, you just need to go to CWM again and restore it. but if you didn't made a nandroid backup, you have to download the official firmware from intratech's thread or in sammobile and flash it using odin and a PC of course.

Thanks for checking it out, Jayce Ooi gave me quite a scare there hehe.. By the way, are you using DXKI2 (official Philippines using Kies), or XXKI3 with 2.3.5 flashed using one of Intratech's entries? And when they say "Wipe" version, does it mean it will repartition the unit, thus "wiping" everything? Intratech's thread mentioned something about a new bootloader that effectively disables the USB jig on official KI3's, and a "modified" version that still uses the old bootloader so counters can still be reset. If you are currently using XXKI3, did you flash the official one or the modified one? Gusto ko lang sana malaman if yung modified ang ginamit mo kaya gumana yung USB on the go, or kahit official e gumagana siya, yung USB jig lang hinde..
