:D i didn't meant to thank you hehe. i suppose to click the quote anyway...

try this, switch off ur fone and remove the battery for 10secs and then restart.

if problem remains, go to recovery mode and wipe cache partitions and restart ur fone again.

please report back if it worked or not.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
sir... sorry ha if my statements are not clear. yes there is the dialer. the same exact screenshot you posted. what i need is the contacts tab. actually there is a way > press menu and you'll see the contacts.

what im after is the stock dialer of gingerbread where i can dial numbers not in my phone book, place a call or send text message from the contacts tab.

if you open the dialer, press menu, then tap the contacts you'll see the contacts there. pero tapping the contact initiates a call. unlike in GB you can edit it, send message, call, etc.

try it sir. dialer > menu > contacts > see if you can edit or send message here. it will place a call when you tap to contacts.

prior ICS my main shortcut is the dialer because i can dial any number, access contacts (edit, call, send message). now i have to put 2: dialer and contacts.

sorry if i sound repetitive.

oh and one more thing...what process should i kill if wifi switching hangs?

im still having issues with the wifi. intermittent. coming from off state, if i slide to on, tap to on or tap the switch found in notification it stalls...

bad trip :(
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
That's wired. Try going to the general settings, then applications, then all, then look for the browser, then clear data.
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I'm not experiencing this wifi problem. How about trying a factory reset?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
perhaps my last option. :(

i also noticed that IP address is now based on the network. great!

Using Pure ICS 7.1. Close to being pure AOSP. I tried couple of custom ROMs, and all of them have the same problem which is the text reflow in any browser. It doesnt seem to work. Argh. Really love the touchscreen response in ICS, specially when typing.

Westcrip's Resurrection ICS Remix is the only custom rom ive used since rooting. latest version 1.0
[Galaxy S II General] xriel:
Kies does not recognize custom firmwares.. flashed the stock rom, turn off USB debugging and try to connect to kies.. sorry but why u still need kies when u already flashed the latest firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
yes its confusing to be honest.

To be able to call or send SMS to numbers not in your phonebook - well that is what the dialer is for. simply enter a number and you have the option to call or text

In the contacts, you simply swipe left or right to make sms or call but if you dont want that you can enter the contact by pressing it. You will be able to enter and see the info.

Pressing the contact you enter it and you will be able to edit it by pressing the edit button found on top (Pencil)

On the main contacts tab, pressing on the profile pic there will be a pop out which has an option again for you to call or send sms.

the ICS dialer IMO is more flexible but perhaps youre used to the old GB interface

Try out the new ICS goodies first

There is even two more buttons inside to be able to send that person sms or make a call
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
yeah i guess i'll just have to live with it... else i need something like GB.

thanks for your inputs!

now, back to my wifi problem... this is so irritating... my SD inserted in GB causes reboot. now it's gone but this... this... wifi thing.. tsk tsk!

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
thats already in the gb build before :p

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

actually you still can if you find a custom build that has the same region and probable csc as yours (though improbable at our country)...custom rom users use odin to go back to connect to kies...
[Galaxy S II General] ichigo200:
@prinzhernan

thanks a lot.. clearing internet browser on general settings under application works.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
most probably it wont if the custom rom has stripped the build of most kies functionality and mtp connection...but some builds still do (most stable ones)...kies full functionality returns if you flash a stock fw via odin or cwm:o
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
now trying WanamLite V9.8 LP2 based.
[Galaxy S II General] khazkhaz:
I'm currently on day two after having installed LPQ after full wipe via Odin. I like it so far but it's a crazy battery hog. 10% charge consumed in just five minutes of screen on time. Anyone else having this problem? I'm thinking of flashing something else coz of it.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
It's time to move on from GB to ICS, so far so go until updated to ICS and said to myself WTF time to familiarize again been using GB since ages ago and now unto ICS :)

So far haven't experienced any problems as of yet until I can't edit my contacts no big deal It's the least of my concerns also there are some FC's at contacts, settings like sound > music effects so far that's the only FC for now, still tinkering with my phone ;)

Also I can't restore some of my apps and games from TB woe is me :( looks like I have to wait a while for some apps & games to be updated

BTW, I'm running foxhound v0.5 LPQ ICS heard that its somewhat stable compared to v0.6, siyah kernel comes with it and apex launcher, lost about 2% of my battery in 9hours looks good.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
why lpq?our local build is dxlp7?
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:
I have not experienced any problems restoring apps or with editing/deleting contacts with stock dxlp7 (or wanamlite stock deodexed dxlp7). Just root it + ics domination theme + the 14toggle bars and its so much better than any custom rom so far. No fc's yet.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
I'm already rooted well maybe because I only installed part 1 of foxhound maybe I'll install part 2 since there are reports that it's not needed to install part 2 who know I'll try it later

When I restore 1 app from TB especially air attack HD or great little wargame, it keep restoring for a verrrrrryyyyy long time while other just seconds so don't know what the problem not to worry its just some games and some minor apps that i rarely used :)

Im running batista foxhound v0.5 LPQ
[Galaxy S II General] biosong:
Have not used the call function of my phone just browsing, sms, music, and streaming and here is my usage from a fully charged batt.

Im using stock rooted LP7

Is this good or bad?
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
Im on stock lp7 rooted also and my battery normally last a day and a half average. same when i was in checkrom. My battery is actually not in 100% condition since I've over charged it a couple of times already but im still getting a decent batt life after using LP7. I started using siyah beta5 lastnight with defaults on oc/uv but somehow my battery is draining quite faster I guess. Im deciding to try cfroot lp7. Has anyone tried using it?
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Depends. What was your screen on time?
[Galaxy S II General] andydotph:
I used the official LP7 from intratech's thread so I believe that it isn't a custom firmware..

This is also what I understand from what I've read. As long as the firmware is stock or an official build from samsung, there shouldn't be a problem regardless of how the firmware got into the sgs2..

The next probable cause could be the csc mismatch. How can I not lose my data if changing the csc factory-resets the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] biosong:
What do you mean screen time? Im using the phone lets say 8hrs of that up time.
[Galaxy S II General] rastaman69:
go to system settings>battery> scroll down. you should see the screen time. how much power is used by the screen when its on. and how long its on overall.
[Galaxy S II General] biosong:
its more than 50%

one more thing, when i do a skype call or viber call.

i cant be heard but i can hear the caller.
[Galaxy S II General] nursespecialist:
Guys, Need Help.

Currently on checkrom v6 with neak kernel. I was curious with ics DXLP7. I downloaded the FW in intratech's site. followed the instructions to use odin. After flashing with odin, upon rebooting, andun na yung yellow triangle. But, ayaw niya magopen, hanggang "S II" logo lang with the yellow triangle. I tried going to recovery mode, it says "manual mode" na which i presume im on stock FW dxlp7.

Flashed the CF root then to check but same thing. I then flashed back to XKLA4 checkrom v6. But i keep on getting bootloop even if i did wiping everything, dalvik cache etc.

It will only allow me to the part to click on the android logo then nothings happening na.

if this wifi problem of mine continues, i plan to do factory reset.

im on stock dxlp7 via kies. what is the proper way to do factory reset?

from stock recovery (is there one?) or there's a key combination to perform reformat?
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
clean install would mean

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvik cache

right?
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
1st option

clean install would mean

wipe data/factory reset <---

CWM > Wipe Menu > Wipe Data/Factory Reset

or

how about the key combination? not recommended?

since youre already on custom rom im sure you'll know how to pimp dxlp7 to have a more ics ish look.:p
[Galaxy S II General] joe_dsi:
@flash05- just do factoey reset from settings if you dont have CWM. Should be the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i see coz i brought one of my units to samsung service center and they used key combination to do factory reset. even the content of the internal usb got deleted. :(
[Galaxy S II General] joe_dsi:
You can also use the dialpad.

Key in *2767*3855#

If you reset from the settings menu, theres an option if you want your sd formated.

Guys try to use wanam's lp2 kernel (the latest build) blaing fast. Been using it for 3days. No fc's so far.
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
flashed and been using dxlp7 for a day, everything went smooth until i noticed 1 issue under sms screen. clicking sms notification icon from the lockscreen will bring you to the sms screen and this where i noticed that upon doing so the keypad is already up preventing me from reading the whole text, i need to hit the back button first to make the keypad slide down in order for me to read the whole text. anyone noticed this? this only happens when you click incoming sms from lockscreen which i believe we frequently do. does this also happen in lpq and lp2?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
flashing a package from intra will bring you back to stock so all root permissions and cwm rights are lost...you should have flashed an ics based cf root kernel since you have transferred to another build...anyways what i advice to you is to go ahead with the ics based customs on android develop thread and play with it:p
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i think this happened to me when using go locker and go sms.

im using go sms and stock pattern lock screen. i received sms while screen if off/locked. i switched it on and was presented to unlock it via pattern. keyboard isn't there..

not sure if i did the correct steps to reproduce your problem...
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
from your signature im guessing you came from checkrom and now on stock ics? did you do a full wipe before flashing it? remnants of check always figures out if you go with another rom be it gb or ics build i believe (from personal experience)...and since intra's packages are almost all non wipe, full wipes are a must before flashing any :D
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
i always do a clean install/full wipe whenever i flash new roms. i even reverted back to stock xwla4 before flashing ics lp7. i flashed lp7 3 times just to make sure i had a clean install but that issue still persist though.

ICS Custom Rom

Guys, those anyone of you tried the ics custom roms? may i know which one are more stable to use?
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
i only download from intra's packages, size is 572mb. i am attaching a sample screenshot of how it appears after tapping incoming sms notification from the lockscreen. as you can see, the keypad is already up that is why i have to hit the back button for the keypad to slide down first to be able to read the whole message. this only happens when tapping incoming sms from lockscreen. i am on xwla4 atm but this is how it appears on lp7.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
i understand your problem because its happening to me too. I am in pure stock ics from KIES. That was not my only problem, i also get the same thing when opening threads in the inbox. The keyboard auto pops up.

I tried data reset. Then i still had the keyboard popping up from accessing the sms from lockscreen, but when opening threads no more. Then i installed go keyboard, the opening thread problem came back. so i had a data reset and didnt install go keyboard anymore

the keyboard just pops up from accessing sms from lock screen notification. So i guess its an ICS thing where you are set to auto reply mode. But in opening threads the keyboard does not pop up automatically anymore. so better avoid go keyboard coz its a hassle pressing the back button or keyboard down to hide it.
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
guess you're right, this is an ics thing. someone using lpq also reported to have this issue...don't know if lp2 has this issue
