Mga tol pano ba gumamit ng h+? Sa sun meron ba nyan or globe lang? Sa mga post paid users lang ba yan or pede sa prepaid?

To those using DXKI2: Do you guys have any problems with FACEBOOK SYNC or the SOCIAL HUB? I keep getting a message that the sync failed. I never got the error using XXKG6.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I've used both original and modified ones. Then I realized I don't really need the modified ones since I use stock everything. You can just use whatever you want then when you need to reset the counter just flash the old bootloader and it will reset like normal.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Sa globe and smart both post paid and pre paid meron. Sun doesn't use H+ technology based on my experience.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I'm using it right now and experiencing no problems. Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work do a hard reset.
[Galaxy S II General] ferdie67:
Wipe means reset lahat, contacts, programs on the phone. Files on the external sd card remain. Parang reformat.

Non wipe means the programs and settings are retained.

I flashed the non modified, wipe version. I restored my programs through appbrain. The download is from Intratech 's thread.

I'm using the phone in Smart pre paid network. What I noticed is that it goes to high speed network more often, and has better data connection. I can watch you tube mobile without stuttering. Tethering works once you install kies on your laptop.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
So to enable h+ dapat 3g network and ginagamit ko?
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Ano ba yung sayo? Pag sun kahit anong gawin mo wala. Pag globe or smart gamitin mo 3g para mag h+
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Actually USB tethering always works kahit walang kies basta it's windows 7 or vista.
[Galaxy S II General] hot ice:
Im using sun postpaid here in cebu and i can confirm than i see and can xonnect using both3G and H (HSDPA). See screenshot:

I did notice when i went to makati 2 weeks ago that i never got h nor 3g. Best i could get was an EDGE connection.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Sun ako.. Hehehehe.. Ano mas maganda? Smart or globe? Pag smart dapat atleast may piso or ok lang kahit wala bsta unli net lang? At same question for globe :)
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Tol, sira ata sun ngaun.. D ko ma open google pero facebook at xda pede.. Same with my SL and Ace.. Sira sun.. Grrr..

Anybody here planning to install XXKI3? android 2.3.5.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Mga tol.. Ano mas mabilis ang H+ ng Smart or globe? Sa globe need paba may piso para magamit ang unli na net?
[Galaxy S II General] hot ice:
Based on experience, SMART is faster. But not significantly.

If has the same policy with smart, and i think they are, you need to have at least 1 piso remaining balance to take advantage of unli internet.

Just flashed XXKI3 and now my phone is on android 2.3.5. downloaded the firmware from samfirmware. it's a single file.

i noticed i now only get an Edge (E) connection in our house where normally i get an 3G or even H. Checked CSC and it doesn't have GLB, XTE, or XTC. Hmm... I don't know if it has something to do with it. I'm thinking flash another CSC or just go back to DXKH2 or KI2.

XXKI3 is noticeably faster though. Back button response is very fast. However, i dislike the removal of the bounce style over scroll. It now just sticks and a blue highlight comes up. it sucks. at least for me.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i dont think there's a dxkl3 baseband (you may have misread your build number)...you can flash xxki3/xxki4 or dxkl1 from pulser's post in here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

globe is currently under maintenance improvement so it may be the cause of some drops (though i hardly experience them)...for records keeps what rom and kernel are you using?:confused:

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

mate galaxy nexus is a google phone commission hence already with the ics rom (vanilla ics without the tw ui from sammy) so no brainer there :p...every flagship phone is experiencing problems integrating the new build with their ui environments (bugs fc's etc)...anyways its just around the corner...but if you cant wait trade away!:D
[Galaxy S II General] abbadipod:
My bad, got the kernels and baseband wrong(it's dxkl1).which radio/baseband is better? Ki4, ki3 or ke7?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
btw those posted from pulser's thread are zip files (cwm flashable), and if you will use odin just extract the files...baseband preference depends on the location and user preference...personally i stick with dxkl1 as it is for the ASEAN market (incl. the PHL)...ki3 gave me a better battery life but falls short sometimes on signal locks when im on the road (going outside the metro)...you need to test each if you want to know which one works best for you
[Galaxy S II General] abbadipod:
mind giving me a guide on how to flash it though Odin? Is it the same as rooting your phone like flashing insecure kernels
[Galaxy S II General] fransarj:
youtube.;)
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
Alternatively, if you're feeling flush, you can purchase Chainfire's mobile ODIN from the play store and perform future flashes on-device. It's simpler than mucking about with cables and drivers and such on your PC.

Using mobile Odin also has the added benefit of removing the yellow triangle from your device's boot screen if you decide to flash an unofficial kernel later on.

At the very least, you'll be supporting someone whose work has been invaluable to everyone on the forums.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
It's the same as flashing insecure kernels. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] mixtapes08:
Are u sure? ;)

We have official ota btw :) 4.0.3 ota roll out about 1 month ago. Now we are waiting for 4.0.5.

For now im using AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) base on AOSP with some CM9 goodness. What can i say i love this rom. :)

Sent from my Nexus S
[Galaxy S II General] xriel:
pre read on.. at the end i think even if u have latest galaxy nexus with the latest android OS, i wouldnt trade my phone.. sgs 2 still holds the record... but if u'r after software support then go for nexus phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
like what sir prinzhernan said yes you can flash it thru odin but unzip/extract it first...if you are rooted then just use cwm recovery to install the zip...:D
[Galaxy S II General] rastaman69:
I agree. even the galaxy nexus rom is still buggy. and that's coming from an official release. sgs2 still holds the trophy on my book.

HSDPA Radio on XLPH

I'm planning to install Resurrection v9.6 which uses the XLPH kernel. What I would like to know is has anyone experienced any problems using the packet data radios on it? I'm on unlimited data with Globe, just want to make sure I won't have problems if and when I do install this rom.
[Galaxy S II General] rastaman69:
hey man, ive veen on resurrection since 9.0 and now on 9.6. just follow the instructions on installing the rom and lph kernel and you're all good. data,wifi,bluetooth,tether drops have been addressed in lph as well. very stable and this is my daily driver. plus yellow triangle been removed.

imho, better wait some more since 9.7 will be out soon.
[Galaxy S II General] djgoer:
Thank for the tip mate! Looks like I'll be waiting a little. Official ICS is almost on our doorstep! Will be flashing it the moment it gets rooted.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Just flashed the official ics update! Really smooth! :)
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Give us a mini review
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Well honestly, if you've flashed the leaked versions it's pretty much the same. Except this one is stable and there are apps which force close.

Speed wise, it's very smooth. The interface looks a bit different when it comes to the menus but it generally looks like gingerbread since touchwiz is overlayed on top of ice cream sandwich. I'm using a sun sim on this phone and it works very well. Signal strength is strong. Apps run well too and there is no stuttering in the phone.

Icons have changed but in general it's the same experience. :) It's just nice to have android's latest and greatest.

I have yet to report on battery life as it has only been running for more than an hour.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
can you provide us links sir?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
is it xxlpj or lpQ?

where are we going to get the OTA? ahaay...

if i flash the this firmware will i experience the triangle and counter increase?
[Galaxy S II General] djgoer:
Which apps forced closed?
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I'm talking about XXLPQ. It's the official version, not a leaked one of ICS 4.0.3

None of the apps close. VERY STABLE!

If you flash XXLPQ the triangle won't come out as it is an official Samsung kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] timoti.sy:
What's the difference between XEO and SEB? What would be better for Asia models? Can I flash this without rooting first? Will data be wiped?
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Just regions. Get the xeo. Yeah just flash it with Odin. Data won't get wiped. Well mine didn't.
[Galaxy S II General] timoti.sy:
Gotcha. Thanks man.
[Galaxy S II General] alvin.durant:
Im downloading now the XEO version, sorry just switched to S2 last week can anyone make a guide for what files should i put in odin? :p
[Galaxy S II General] mgprime.havoc:
It sucks that tw is overlayed in the ics update. I was hoping to have a more authentic ics feel in it. Anyway please join our samsung ph group in facebook. Just search for my acct and i'll add u up. It's vi.raagas@gmail.com
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
will it wipe mine coming from 2.3.6 (2.3.3 > 2.3.6 kies)?

stock, not rooted.

and is it ok if im using DX to XX? thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Thanks for the review. What about flash is it working?

Could you also test if shutter lag is gone, and do a test on the new panoramic mode?

And if you know about ad hoc networking, it would be great if you tested that too.
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
wait, flashing this doesnt unroot or phones right? hehehe! will probably give it a go later.:D
[Galaxy S II General] mikeconrad2:
did the Official ICS update on sgs2 been released already here in the Philippines?;)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
no releases for dx countries yet...personally id give it a week and the first stable custom will come out eventually
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
read the whole thread just now and trying it made me think otherwise.:D id probably give it a few more days also as i read that although it was official, it was sort of a "test release" few more days wont hurt i guess.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Im waiting for some Custom ROM's to come out in a few days time maybe I'll stick with Checkrom ICS version or some other ROM's ^__-
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
+1 to that also...devs who made checkrom did a fantastic job in pimpin' GB and hopefully they can make a great ICS rom. and once all source codes for ICS go out/ be released.:)
[Galaxy S II General] alvin.durant:
What are the known issues and bugs at XXLPQ? :o
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
don't get too excited (as if i'm not :D) custom version are most of the time much better + custom roms now that it is official, its only a matter of time...and the official ICS looks and almost feel the same as GB anyways.:D
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
yeah, Imma hold to GB until CheckROM releases their ICS version :D I've tried ICS before and yeah, it still feels like GB.
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
hahahha..ICS is far more nicer than GB..ive never reverted back to GB when i first tasted ICS..its yummier ^^,
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
However tasty it may be, it's still buggy. :)

+1 I'm also staying on CheckROM V6 till a bugless ICS ROM base is out.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
What do you mean by buggy?

It's very stable and everything works.
[Galaxy S II General] kelvs:
So far so good. Still updating apps though.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
They keep introducing bugs within the kernels, plus there still no source code. The main problem is universal stability, since it's seems to work well for quite a few people but a lot are still having issues.

[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i'm reading various threads here... some complaints too

i think im going to wait a little further... at least its already "official" - official beta some say.
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
Some say the scrolling is not that smooth. Others said scrolling is smooth but not that fast. Can you give us details on that, sir? Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I guess it behaves differently on each unit? Because mine is fast and smooth, just like gb. Weird.
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
I see... I got your point on there, sir. I'm still skeptical at the moment as I continue reading the never-ending Europe ICS thread... But I can't really wait!

Anyway, one mentioned that the Gallery crashes when changing wallpaper. Can you vouch on that, sir? :)
[Galaxy S II General] swiftden:
How is ICS so far prinz? Planning to flash one for my sister's GS2 when i get back home. Finally!! Nexus users doesnt have an update yet which sucks. Still stuck on 4.0.2!!!
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
The more reason to wait for costum ROM ICS, lots of negative feedback's so far for LPQ
[Galaxy S II General] kelvs:
Request sent ;)

The scrolling issue is not about the ROM but about ICS itself. And it's not simply about launcher/app drawer scrolling. It's the scrolling on browsers/twitter/etc. It's not *laggy* but just different. Imagine a wheel with less grease.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I tried doing it just now, no problem at all.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Hi Den! It's okay though I don't see much difference from GB except for the eyecandy and animations. At least there is a built in data counter now. Playing 3d games is a bit smoother, the animations seem to be more fluid in racing games and gameloft games.
[Galaxy S II General] ren777:
Nice to see a group of pinoys here.

Wanted to know what are the Pro's and Con's of the new ICS4 official release

Feedback please
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
It seems to work well for others and not so well for some.

My personal opinion is, unless there are specific features of ICS you really want, it's better to stay in gb until stability is ironed out.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Nothing. There is nothing substantially different for normal users except a built in data counter and performance improvements.
[Galaxy S II General] kelvs:
Anybody else annoyed that the "Contacts" isn't accessible in the "Phone" app ? Ugh
[Galaxy S II General] g3ckospy:
Noob question:

What is the more stable GB version for SII? root, kernel, deodex and ext4 files?

any link?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Stock ROM: Our very own DXKL3

Custom ROM: There's a lot to choose from, from checkrom to hyperdroid

Kernel: A lot also from siyah to redpill

So just download them and try them all, my setup currently still at GB checkrom v6 + siyah 2.6.13
[Galaxy S II General] joe_dsi:
Those running lpq, did you enable hardware accelaration? scrolling thru the app drawer was slow until i enabled it. I dont know if its just me tough lol
[Galaxy S II General] g3ckospy:
Thanks.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Don't worry, others have reported similar findings. It's most likely because HW Acceleration hasn't been adapted properly yet.
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
Guys, I installed LPQ and right now, I cant change my home screen wallpaper, during the resizing it stops responding.

Can you test in your end if you can change wallpaper?

RIght now I am stuck at Live Wallpaper...:(
[Galaxy S II General] kelvs:
No problem here
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
No problem with mine. Factory reset?
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
no problem here..but im using wanamlite...

is the official upgrade release in here in the phil?
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
for those on LPQ. especially wanamlite, there is an issue, text messages are being sent sent once, then received twice!

does anyone know hot to remove the notification in the status bar (select input method) whenever I'm typing, I'm using smartkeyboard pro.

what launcher are you using for ICS? yung Apex kase nagreredraw..

also the triangle away app is very good! binary counter is now 0!
[Galaxy S II General] xriel:
what the...? ics wont allow my apn back up and restore to restore apn's..

have to manually input the apn's.. hayssttttt..
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
So the new released firmware can be used by non-rooted users eh?

XEO's different from LPQ?

Which do you think should I install?
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
I tried cleaning my dalvik cache but no avail.

also if do factory reset I will lose all my apps and setups right?

Other thoughts:

I am using cf-root method for rooting and I installed the older bootloader so that I can reset my binary counter using jig.

Update: I was advised to uncheck Force 2D rendering and its working fine now...

Yes you can use it even your phone is not rooted. After that you can root it if you want.:)

nvm found it :)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
ive observed that a lot of apps are still updating their compatibilities with the updated build...lets just wait for a week or two for things to normalize...and yeah a full wipe before upgrading roms will as much as possible minimize possible bugs or issues or at the least they can be isolated...patience is a virtue mates...
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
Yep like skype, though its working fine, it only works in landscape for now. I tried o no wipe install, 1st everything was working but after a while my camera was not working anymore...hehe...so i ended up full wipe, better
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
Whoah I'm not into wipes (non-rooted) i won't be able to save my data T_T but might as well try this XD
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
It's a good practice to back up your entire system image. So that if all goes wrong you have backup to restore.
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
Sir, is this thru Kies or thru Titanium Backup? Those are the only backup that I am familiar with. I want to know if there's something else so I can do it before I upgrade to ICS. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
Is the new firmware root-able? I'm thinking of rooting my phone, anyway I just had the wipe and it's as if I bought a new phone again XD

I'm not sure if this was already asked but here goes.

After reading comments from ICS update, i might skip it... some say, which i agree (or perhaps a lot), Samsung made ICS bland by putting TouchWiz and making it look like GB. And there are lots of features not stable.

What is the best alternative ICS ROM for SGS2 aside from CM9? Is CheckROM ICS already?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
So I've wanted to flash XXKI4 as my modem but the links on the other thread isn't working, anyone with a working download link? D: The modem of 4.0.3 isn't as good as the one for 2.3.6 in terms of data connection D:
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
Agree to this. they made ics crap. I am still waiting for the final cm9 if ever it comes.:D.
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
Yes via CWN...

TW 4 is a crap on ICS but if you use third party launcher like APEX then you will feel the ICS experience....
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
yeah but but its still not the same as the bare ICS like in cm9
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
If all you want is an ics launcher why not just get an alternative launcher or ics theme?

I really haven't seen people talk about the features they like in ics aside from the cosmetic effects and looks.
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
i don't know with them :D but what i like in ics is the color rendering. i noticed it in a stock lpb beofre. colors are a little subtle and softer compare to gb...at least that is what my brain is telling me.:D then for the aesthetics, not all apps are being themed the way the bare ics does (eg, people, calling screen) at least the last time i checked them, and the bothersome of incompatible builds as with the availble themes. these are my points why i like ics/cm9/bare ics.:D
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
with the source code not yet released (i think still isnt) devs here cant still tackle bugs like those with sms issues, transfer to sd, buggy notifications etc (as reported by some)...personally i dont find any major issues as if i get one i try to find a solution to it first myself...hard to bring issues much to get flamed or trolled by seasoned and very capable members and devs here...so i guess us enthusiasts just wait for updates are they are rolling in everyday and just enjoy our phones...IMHO :)
