gauging by the system may be buggy...why not reboot after charging? that way you can really measure how much power has really come in, much more you are in stock rom where no tweaks would be present unless you flashed a non wipe fw over a presumed custom rom...either way a reboot would be sufficient for it mate...and as stated earlier there is no need for battery calibration...the system does it all by itself...:)
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
exactly sir..that's why im also wondering coz as far as i know current version is 2.3.6. hehehe are there any significant chages from official 2.3.5 to 2.3.6? coz if there's none then i guess i'll be ok with this for a while and then just wait for the official release of ics.wooohooo!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
much improved battery life and almost a fix on the android os bug...its worth updating from 2.3.5...problem is if you update via kies the new bootloader comes with that official so no chance of using a usb jig should you go custom or root in the first place, and zergrush root exploit doesnt work beyond 2.3.4 as well...so i suggest you get the one from intra with the old bootload and flash via odin...kies is a sucky program anyways hahaha...i only use it for updating drivers on my pc...thats it:D
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
@daimler1727 / jermitano - i change cable. using a shorter and thicker one that comes with the wested digital HD. i noticed something. google currents 50% on cpu. i switched off the wifi and now 50%.

not modifications were made whatsoever. pure stock 2.3.6.

and as far as i know, the battery fitted on this stock and extended no longer needs calibration. not performed on both. still using extended now...

will try to turn on the wifi see how it goes.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
the bootloader is actually something that concerns me...was actually thinking that its gonna get screwed if i do that. guess will have to do it via odin soon.:D

you think its possible they carry this bootloader cr*p when official ics rolls out?
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Its not something to be worried about if you just follow instructions carefully ;) I don't remember the specific firmware that comes with the new boot loader but there are a lot of ways to bypass it

Plus if you wait for the official ICS here on our country you will have to wait ages for it to be released :D

If your that concerned about rooting there's a detailed guide here which you can follow a simple search would give you hundreds of guides to follow through.

My advice is to use odin instead of updating through kies the rest is simple steps to follow.

there you go...thats why while charging i dont let anything bother my phone much more on usb charge and not using the stock cable for it...wifi like any other program on the phone consumes power and if you have push notifications then its not like charging at all...same happens to me before when im using navigation on my car, even if its plugged it doesnt charge much...:p
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
what bothers me is that im sure is saw it reached 100% after few mins unplugged from my laptop it went all the way to 2x%.

badtrip :( my extended batt is about 2 mos old
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
thanks

yes, i have to use odin i guess:D checked intratech's post for official firmwares particularly dxkl3. dowload link is mutiupload:(

edit: been reading that there are different firmwares for different versions of sgs2. flashing a wrong firmware can damage/brick the phone. im sorry for asking but how can we check which firmware is intended for us? for our area?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
does sgs2 has this kind of dock?

good day!

just got a smart locked, unrooted pa cya.

i got this command: *#7465625# and it shows me the network lock is [ON]

and to turn this OFF i have to use this: #7465625*638*code#

but what is the code?? thanks...:confused:

Yes too bad multiupload and megaupload got shutdown so we cant download through them anymore but I got all of the stock roms, just text me if you want to copy them. I cant upload them at the moment cuz my net here sucks. :((
[Galaxy S II General] m4rv1np45cu4l:
Hi Guys,

My SGS2 ROM was upgraded by a Samsung technician to KL3 when I brought it for warranty purposes. From what I read before, when the SGS2 is upgraded to (starting from ____ I forgot) firmware, the binary counter cannot be reset by the USB jig. Is this true? If so, if I flash a custom now, i cannot reset my binary counter?

But what if I flash an older Samsung Stock firmware, for instance, KF1, will my binary counter still not be reset using the USB Jig? TIA
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Just flash back an OLD bootloader from intratechs thread I don't know if the links still works, I'll see if I can upload the old bootloader or just flash any ROM here at xda that has old bootloaders then you can just use your jig to reset the binary counter and the yellow triangle if you have it.
[Galaxy S II General] m4rv1np45cu4l:
@deltashock thanks for this... I thought this upgrade is similar to iOS wherein it is irreversible once you've upgraded a firmware? So, just to make it clear, I can still root my SGS2 and flash CM7 Rom (wherein there will be a binary count and a yellow triangle). If I flash back to an older firmware i.e. KF1 or KH3, I can still use my USB jig to reset the binary counter. Thanks again...
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Yes, you can also flash through CWM it will not increase the binary counter.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
alright! :D sige sir ill keep in touch with you. thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
No problem
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
just flash a copy from intratech's official fw...he has packaged it with the old bootloader...flashing bootloaders btw are riskier than just the fw where the zip has been repacked properly...

[Galaxy S II General] whitherquick:
Last Aug 13, when I asked them how come there my phone is heating up so easily and why is there no upgrade on KIES when other regions already has 2.3.4, they answered:

"Your unit actually have the latest version that we have here in the Philippines which is the ANDROID 2.2 GINGERBREAD right now we do not have any update from our technical team if there will be upcoming new version for this model.

For the battery issue that it heat faster after just a few minutes of using please make sure that you were

using at least two applications only as maximum for these may cause the unit to heat as fast. If you still encounter same

problem we suggest having your unit check through our service center."

Then just last week i asked them what could have changed between the last KH2 firmware and will this be android 2.3.5. I also asked them if the battery last longer and when we'll get ICS. They replied with this:

"The main difference is the inclusion of other language; however, the software version is still 2.3.3.We are so

sorry but there is no confirmation about the availability of Icecream Sandwich yet. We suggest you wait for other Galaxy S 2 users for their feedback after the firmware update so you can decide if you wish to update your phone to KI2 version."

I don't know, but I'm not satisfied with their answers. They gave me a lot of bull specially on my first mail.

I heard that disabling fast dormancy (*#9900#) can extend battery life depending on the network. Will this work for us with globe or smart networks? Anyone did this already?

hi i'm new to this phone can anyone help me?

have a few questions.

1. i have a traded my old phone to my aunti's sgsII with model i9100T. ayos lang ba i-flash ung mga Roms ng i900 dito?

2. this will be my first time to root this phone so what are the things na pwede ko i flash dito para ma root e2?

3. and last any recommended roms? or stick na lang ako sa stock rom? may mga nabasa kasi ako na may mga napapabalik sa stock roms.

4. where can i buy OTG cables for sgsII here in manila pla?

i'm on a review kasi ngaun kaya mejo madalang ako makadalaw pero sana masagot. thanks for the help guys. gathering information pa kasi ako before rooting for safety purposes.
[Galaxy S II General] jclad1:
Apparently the only difference between the I9100 and the I9100T is that the I9100T has a different modem optimized for that model.. So you can root and flash roms similar to I9100 but you will have to reflash the modem afterwards..
[Galaxy S II General] mewgim:
i see. mejo matrabaho din pala tong i9100t compared sa i9100. thanks sir for the quick reply. i will put that in my mind.

Hi all

i tried downloading SuperOneClick 1.9.5 but failed to get as it is being detected to have some sort of virus. tried any version and its the same.

does it really have a virus or it just flags the application since it is for the "purpose" that is why it is being blocked.

does anyone here have a copy of it that i can have, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
hello,

i have a quite silly question concerning warranty. does samsung honor warranties for our phones where ever we are? or where ever we purchased our phones? say for example i purchased my phone outside the philippines and then try to avail of the warranty here? I actually went to Samsung service center here in our area and the lady told me that they dont honor warranties for phones at the moment. I am somehow not convinced that's why im asking if any of you here might have the similar situation.

thanks in advance.

edit: since this has been my case, im already trying to decide to root my phone because they wont honor my warranty here anyway.hehehe. would anyone be so kind in suggesting which root method i use. i found some guides here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246131 and realized that there are several methods. which would you suggest or maybe i missed something else. also noticed that download links for cf-root are multiupload so im sure they are definitely not working anymore. :(
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
almost right on the money...price range between 8-10K...like buying a new phone...ouch...:p

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

much better to do the cfroot method...you can request a link from the thread from those who have online cloud storage...saves you the time of installing cwm and some root apps:p

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

you can flash the tar file of any custom kernel in case you want to go directly custom anyways...try redpill kernel or siyah...or you can ask the good people who have online storage to share their kernels...i think the thread has already been fixed...would hurt to ask...:D
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:

-i didn't knew we were warned here:D i saw others threads speaking their own languages but mods seem to not notice it.:D i'm running out of english words to say.:D:D:D:D:p:p

[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
my apologies sir, i seem to have overlooked the threads lastnight and found out the the download links where already working. but as you have suggested and hoping that it really wouldnt hurt to ask for a favor maybe someone can can share their online storage for their kernels or something like that.:D im on gb 2.3.5 stock and my kernel is I9100XWKJ1. was trying to look for a custom kernel for this but I could'nt seem to find one.:(

btw sir, using redpill or siyah works on stock roms right? Im still reading about siyah kernel on the other page and seems to be working on all roms. :D I've yet to check on redpill. both kernels have cwm sir right?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
concerning using cf root, if you cant find the exact one for your build you can use others almost like it (sample KJ2,KJ3 etc)

but since i guess you have an idea of kernels its better to flash a custom one, much better as it has already all root permissions and cwm:p
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
i have an idea but just a little i guess.hehehe! often times i get confused with everything. im slowly pickin' up..hopefully:D im a little afraid atm to flash an incompatible kernel.hehehe! what would you personally suggest sir? as someone who has probably tried all cusmon kernels available here? i know it depends on preference but since its my first time to do alot of things with this device, i have no basis for comparison.

thanks for the response.
[Galaxy S II General] 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...;)
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
sir thank you for the big help. one last question for now though:D any of these kernels work for stock roms? or only siyah? not sure bout red pill as i am still reading the features:D but i read in siyah thread that it can be flash in samsung roms, aosp based roms and samsung base roms from 2.3.4 to 2.3.7. if i try siyah am i good to go even with a stock rom?

thank you again:)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yes it will work...all those inside android original will work with aosp and samsung roms...thats the reason why i did not include phenomenal though ive seen some who were able to use them:p...yes siyah will be nice for it...btw see my sig in case you use it (geko's stable bases for uv/uc/oc)...you can test it to improve batt life or performance...a little backread and you can find the tests for stability of voltages as suggested by pikachu:p

@ jermitano

sir thank you again..managed to flash siyah kernel on my stock rom and everything went well. i just have some questions regarding the recovery. siyah kernel recovery is just a modified version of the cwm right? can i boot manually to this recovery or do i just go to the cwm settings and from there reboot to recovery. i asked this because when i was using cwm on my htc device i boot to cwm manually by holding volume down and power the go to recovery. I once tried to use rom manager to reboot to cwm, made a back up and experienced md5 mismatchr when i tried to restore the backed up file. i found out that the version of the cwm on rom manager is different than the version i used when i boot manually. eversince, i do nandroid backups and restores manually just to be sure my i wont encounter any problems. in the case of siyah kernel or siyah kernels recovery system. is it possible to boot its recovery manually? i tried holding vol down+home+power but it just goes in download mode. tried holding it long enough but still the same.

thanks in advance.

edit: also sir,if i change my kernel, will i be able to restore the file I backedup on a new kernel?

Hey guys,

Just wondering,

What Modems (Radios) are you using here in Phils with your Phone?

I got a GS2, But trying to find whats the best Modem,

I hear DXKL3 is the latest one for Phils?

But im having trouble finding a download of it (I dont want the full rom im on a custom ROM, just the modem to flash with CWM or Odin)..

Could someone please tell me where i can download a good Modem for here?

Im using Globe Telecom,

Sometimes at college i find my connection just dies i dont know if its a ROM or Radio related issue,

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yes you can boot to recovery manually (vol up+home+power) or use the modified cwm (CWM app) to go into recovery...please do not use the ROM Manager app as it is not compatible for this device...if you are using siyah 2.6.11 above or redpill kernel you will be using the modified touch recovery of the hyper team...and yes nandroid backups work for diff kernels...:)

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

go to the shipped modems thread at the android development pages...its a sticky so you wont miss it...its a cwm flashable zip...dxkl3 is the stock firmware latest to the country...you can use any modem, see which one fits you best as modems are subjective and dependent on where you are located even if it is in the philippines
