It seems that samsung is beginning to deal out SII updates for 4.0.4. Europe first then China yesterday. Maybe waiting for our version would be best for us to do at this time.
[Galaxy S II General] johnfranz29:
LQ5 is a leak version and theres still bugs... china is the official 4.0.4 but i didnt tried yet coz i dont know if its work properly when you root...

My wife's Korean SGS2 GB to ICS.

dude, how is your experience to wannamlite?

my wife's SGS2 is a SHW-m250s runing GB 2.3.4 and It is already rooted with CWM.

She wants it in ICS. are you sure this method will work and not brick the phone?

Guys just want to ask if some of had issues with playing music on sgs2? Sometimes the music is stuttering. First I thought it was the mp3 file was the problem but after rebooting my phone, it was ok. Also if the sound effects is on music clarity sound will also stutter and if I change it back to normal the mp3 is ok. Btw, I' m just using a stock rom ics 4.0.3 phone not yet rooted. Tried searching did not got any results.

to those using RR here in the PH, what modem are you using? do most of you use dxlpa? i previously used xxlps, but it drained my battery while on 3G.

also, have you tried RR+Siyah 3.3.2/3.3.3d and RR+Dorimanx? Any remarks?:) Just curious.

I'm still testing Siyah 3.3.2 and I get good batt life on Wifi. While 3.3.3d is so-so, I got good batt life when not using Wifi and 3G, and lost 1% after 9hrs of deep sleep.

Hi all. Got my sgs2 a month ago and rooted it. Just want to ask is the 10-12hours battery life normal with 2 hours of use?
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
It really depends on how you're using your phone... you may want to define further what you did in that 2-hour window. 2 hours streaming videos has a different outcome vs. 2 hours of music listening or 2 hours of games. Also, WiFi and browsing also affects your battery, as well as some other features such as GPS, Accelerometer being enabled, etc.

SGS2 in PH

@francis820

how many hours do you get with your 2k mAh battery(on RRv2.6)? how much is it in phil?

got my sgs2 in greenhills but i think this is still the 1.6k battery(based on the back cover also).

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

with my 1600mAH battery I get almost the same battery life. that is with playing (airport city or drag racing game) around an hour or two. plus around 20minutes of music in the morning on the way to work. i think it is normal. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] headshrinker139:
Screen has the biggest appetite, so if you mean 2 hours of screen on and the rest of the time the screen been off then I'd say your battery life could get a lot better. Considering all the good stuff is managed (turn off Sync, gps, screen as dim as you can tolerate, etc) a rooted phone could easily last a day at least.

Mine lasted 46 hours while screen is off. I'm sure it could've lasted more had I not used it for a bit like around 10 text message sent, only a few minutes of browsing, and the occasional waking up of device to check battery level.

Give us more info as I'm sure you'd get a lot of info from the more experienced rooters here.

Is 'rooters' even a word?! :-D
[Galaxy S II General] headshrinker139:
One last pic, taken just now. Notice the screen on- more than 4 hours. Been using it like almost non-stop. Using wifi the whole time, sync on, gps turned on/off randomly. Lots of Web surfing, music on (PowerAMP+Voodoo), using live wallpaper. Hope this bit of info helps.

[Galaxy S II General] knuckle03:
Sure u can. Just restore app only. Dont restore app+ data to avoid error. Also dont restore any save system app like contacts, fm radio etc.
[Galaxy S II General] knuckle03:
One last thing after you've restore all your apps go to recovery mode > advance then fix permission. It will take a minute or so then reboot.
[Galaxy S II General] headshrinker139:
If you are just rooted and not on any custom ROMs, try apps such as SetCPU, No-Frills. They govern the CPU. The idea is to consume less power when device is idle. These apps manage it for you by allowing it to 'rest' at 200MHz when not in use. Stock sgs2 uses a higher number when not in use (between 400-600 Mhz, I'm not sure), so they 'work' more even though you aren't using your phone.

Then again you could go custom ROM like the guys suggest above.

Boot Loop

Hi guys, I'm back here. Does any of you know anything about solutions to a boot loop problem? My SGS2 went on a boot cycle (only up to a second of the startup animation, then it freezes for a couple of seconds before powering up again) earlier this week. I don't know what caused it. I did not do anything with the software/hardware. I only downloaded an app - LinkedIn - from the Play store. The phone ran out of battery power overnight, and I recharged it the morning after. When it finished recharging, I turned it on and got surprised that my phone won't boot completely.

I read that I could do a wipe data/factory reset from the recovery mode, but I want to avoid this. On one thread, and another forum also, someone said I could install villainROM 1.1 to avoid wiping data. I'm wondering why this particular ROM, and am also wondering whether another stock ROM or firmware would suffice.

Is there someone here knowledgeable in this situation? I posted on two other threads a couple of days ago, but still got no reply. Maybe someone here can help me. TIA.

My SGS2 is the Korean version (M250K) flashed with a European firmware (I can't remember which one exactly, maybe UK or German; it's multi-CSC: DBT as shown in recovery mode). I am afraid to alter anything because I don't have the original stock firmware. It maybe running on a custom ROM as it has Chinese applications that cannot be uninstalled (I bought the phone in Shanghai from a black market).

The phone is on OS 2.3.4, and I'm planning to flash ICS 4.0.3 (if flashing a new firmware resolves boot loop issues). I don't have root privileges. The phone may have an insecure kernel as there is a yellow triangle that shows during startup. I'm not entirely sure. That's how it was when I bought it.

Details of my SGS2:

PDA: I9100XWKDF

Phone: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100OXXKDD

Build info: Fri Apr 29 08:31:21 KST 2011

Build number: QUENS.CHS.GINGERBRED.XWKDF

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513root@Dell103 #2

I have tried a power cycle, with battery removed, to no avail.

Many thanks to whoever can help me.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:

if you can go to download mode, flash an older firmware 2.3.x something

let it boot completely

[Galaxy S II General] rey031:
I hated how my GS2 heated up so much when I played Star Blitz for so long, it became uncomfortable to touch.

I underclocked to 800 MHz and gameplay was still smooth as butter, better than my old 1 GHz single-core LG Optimus Black. Gameplay with Samurai II: Vengeance and Riptide GP, 3D games originally released for Tegra2 dual-core processors, are all smooth at 800 MHz with GS2.

Lalo na mga non-CPU intensive games like Cut The Rope and Angry Birds, sisiw na sisiw na lang sa GS2 kahit underclocked :)

I ran Antutu Benchmark at 800 MHz and its scores were still close to that of the Motorola Xoom that has a Tegra2 dual-core clocked at 1 GHz.

Try it out, makakatipid rin ng battery iyong lower clock speed (also undervolting) and battery also drains faster with high temperatures.
