@ A l l

i just downloaded a game on googleplay, everything seems fine between my S2, WiFi and GooglePlay.

[Sent from my SII][/QUOTE]

I can dl some apps but certain app i can't , like bs player . I can't update Antutu bench, meta widget , Soundcloud downloader. I guess just some of this specific app is not dloading or updating.
[Galaxy S II General] baekwondo:
wahahaha!

well that the essence of mastering the "tweaks" itself!

Cheers!

Kindly check my kernel question on your Magicconfig thread.

mate i just downloaded that BS Player Lite and have tried it also.

....hmmmm... kinda weird.

what happen during updating/downloading?

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
correct me if im wrong but you are on paranoid right? have you changed you dpi? im guessing your not on default, thats a probable reason for failed downloads and updates...thats one of the reasons why the paranoid team have the per app dpi, you can change it one by one...:p
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
Yes i am on PARANOIDANDROID, but settings is on default. Hybrid mode is disable and Not in tablet mode , Global density is 240 by default. But let me check the paranoid thread check if im missing something, you could be right pare. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dcdancruz:
got the same problem since yesterday..

I did clear cache and clear data on Play store. Did reboot recovery. Did wipe dalvik cache and fixed permissions. Did force uninstall then reinstall the play store apk. Reinstalled custom rom. no joy so far.

emailed google. no reply. called my ISP and requested for refresh or reset on my internet service. still no joy.

Play store just works with packet data or other wifi areas like cafe..

Felt relieved that I'm not the only experiencing this problem.

I'm using foxhound sniperwolf rom right now + siyah 3.2.5.2 (hate the blue tint of 3.2.6+) :P All I can say is that the foxhound roms are very stable. Actually I'm downloading an update of foxhound right now which is revolver ocelot :D
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
seems like this is play store related or you have a borked market apk. try installing another vending apk see if it works
[Galaxy S II General] blue4004:
I'm just curious why don't you update your S2 to LP9?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i wanted to but there are so many stuff already installed/configured on my s2. i wanted to try because my note doesnt experience wifi switch bug on dxlp9.

im assuming that the same goes with s2. hope isnt that high.
[Galaxy S II General] johnfranz29:
So how's your battery status with foxhound rom? i've read some negative feedback about this rom but i'll try the latest one later the revolver ocelot... :)
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I'm getting about 4hrs 30mins screen on time with foxhound sniperwolf. Screen on time due to gaming (the addicting game running fred :P) surfing and some texting. I dunno about revolver ocelot though since I just flashed it right now. I'll give you a shout if I get good results :D Haven't tried wanamlite is it better than foxhound? :)
[Galaxy S II General] blue4004:
Didn't know there was a wifi switch bug before(i just realized it after upgrading) but it's already fixed in lp9 as far as i experienced and better battery life XD

i don;t think you need to do another wipe in flashing the new firmware
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
yup no need to wipe :D when i upgrade firmware the only thing I do is to wipe cache and dalvik cache :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
@blue4004 / cyberlion17 - no need to wipe? how? how do you flash dxlp9? pc odin?

can you show me the link where i can get the dxlp9 without wiping?

im completely on stock dxlp7 got it via kies. yes there is wifi switch on bug... search you'll see. i dont experience this bug on dxlp9 but on note...
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
I just want to ask so i'll learn , you guys are talking about baseband right? i thought Pulser mention something about baseband has nothing to do with wifi/wifi switching , or maybe i just misread something.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I never used pc odin so I am really not an expert on how to flash using that :)) I am using mobile odin as my flashing tool for .tar files while CWM for .zip files :) I too am experiencing that wifi bug in lp7 (if you remember I am also the one who is complaining here before about that bug :D) after flashing siyah however it was fixed :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
from dxlp7, which siyah kernel did you flash and fixed that problem?

yes i remember. i gave the temp solution set 2.4Ghz wifi but am also the one who broke the news about it haha.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
This is the exact process that I have done to install siyah kernel.

1) rooted using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

2) downloaded and installed mobile odin lite here in xda and flashkernel.apk found in the same thread

3) downloaded and transferred .tar version of siyah from gokhanmoral's website to internal sd card

4) flashed using mobile odin selecting first the siyah kernel under the kernel selection of the app.

5) voila, enjoy your new kernel free of wifi bugs :P

It could've been shorter to just use the temporary cwm from the rooting procedure in step 1 to flash siyah .zip cwm flashable kernel but at that time, being a noob that I was, I just felt that it is safer to use mobile odin :P Sorry I forgot what version of siyah kernel I used then, I am using 3.2.5.2 now though :D 3.2.6+ has this blue tint tweak in the screen that I don't like :| I don't know how to make init.d script to change the blue tint value :|

EDIT: OH BTW! Before flashing anything, make sure you made a nandroid backup in cwm recovery and app backups in titanium backup just in case anything was messed up and also for those times when you need to go back to stock firmware with no hassle. :P backup your efs folder with hellcats ktool :) that time I also dumped my stock zimage kernel using ktool lol.

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i believe they are talking about build numbers :p
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:

[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
any of you guys know how to make init.d scripts? I want to make one to edit the mdnie blue and red parameters (/sbin/ext/tweaks.sh) of siyah kernel to default 130. tried to search for links here in xda for a guide but I can't find one. :|
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
better ask from siyah about that mate...you'd be touching an already modified kernel,so better check with them if theyll be repercussions in case you change scripts especially from the init ones

Anyine experiencing problems on downloading apps from play store? Cant download apps from store.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Hi guys,

I have an SGS2 from China. Actually, it's from Korea, and it's the Korean version that's been "transformed" into SGS2 I9100. I learned that it's not really I9100 only when I got here in Manila and had my phone checked by a Samsung tech at Wellcom.

I don't really mind this, but I want to upgrade my software version, which I can't do through Kies. I don't have root and SU privileges, and I don't have access to files for manual upgrade. Is there a somewhere I can go to, where they have someone to do all the dirty work? If not, can someone here please guide me through the process?

My phone software is still 2.3.3.

All help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:

Yes , 7 pages back a couple of people also are having the same issue including me. I check the rom thread im using and it seems that im the only one thats having the problem. Add more info (what rom,kernel,etc) so we can help each other isolate the issue.

[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Hmmm does the model number says SHW-M250K instead of GT-i9100?
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
Sorry pare but i think the problem is not our phones because it's happening to all my phones including my note which is really stock, last night i soft brick my s2 from changing roms,kernels etc. just to check if it would fix the google play problem but it didn't ( i was able to revive the s2 though , luckily ) . The thing that confuses me is only selectable android phones here in Philippines is having this issue so for now i have no clue.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
At the back of the phone, where the battery slot is, yes. However, when powering up, the phone already shows I9100 (with the yellow triangle at the bottom of the screen).
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Actually, it's M250S. The model/make according to the serial number thingy at the back of the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Unless others can tell you otherwise, I don't see any reason you cannot do this. I've read in other forums that other people were able to do so... although that's for the M250K. You can Google it to see if they have any difference in hardware specs, if not then give it a try. That's as far as I go man, they're maybe other guys here more knowledgeable.

As always, back up first before you proceed.:cool:
[Galaxy S II General] glynnpel:
For those thats having problem with there google play , it seems to work now for me.
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
Pare, just tried tonight and play store is already working, i was able to download titanium backup and just restored all my apps.
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Thanks, man. I do think it's possible, but I have no experience with rooting and flashing a new firmware. I'll keep searching the boards.

i'm on gingerbread now and i haven't experienced any random on/off stuffs.. try flashing a new firmware or try a custom rom perhaps?:p checkrom revohd v6 is pretty awesome!:p
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Sometimes it is caused by an app.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
that's the initial firmware that the phone had when it was first distributed here. i've experienced that on a froyo-powered phone but not on this one.

it's high time you upgrade, either stock or custom, to ICS. you're missing out the big party :D
[Galaxy S II General] blancer:
i'm a flashaholic. i've tried most ROMs out there so basically i'm not missing the party he he.. and this is not the initial firmware when i got the phone. the initial firmware was DXKF1. anyway, for the benefit of those who might experience my problem, i've solved it by going to settings, applications, running services. there are lots of applications listed so i just disabled them. now my phone is ok. thanks for the help.

Why is it so complicated to get a good, slightly used GT-i9100 here in the Philippines?

Personal Story:

The first Galaxy S II I bought at Robinson's Place Manila two or three days ago was not a GT-i9100, but the NTT DoCoMo SC-02C, a Japanese Galaxy S II.

It had a TV antenna, like them WilFone's.

They flashed a ROM from the OG PHL i9100.

The FM radio didn't work, though the FM radio icon is there on the application drawer. (NTT DoCoMo took out the FM radio for the TV.)

Kinabukasan, we asked the retailer to give us our money back.

We went to another retailer and specifically asked for a GT-i9100. She did present me a model that was the GT-i9100.

We eventually swapped out my HTC HD7 and gave an 8000 PHP cash-out for a GT-i9100. So she gave us the box, manuals, installed a protector for free, a case, and went to the LRT. (Monumento -> Victory Liner -> Olongapo City.)

I was testing the "GT-i9100" on the LRT, when I noticed in the bootup it said "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-i9100M".

A bit of research and I found that my Galaxy S II GT-i9100M was a Bell Mobility (Canada) Galaxy S II, marketed as the Samsung Galaxy S II™ 4G, GT-i9100M.

Fortunately for me, the Wikipedia entry on the Galaxy S II said the GT-i9100M was literally the only thing different from the GT-i9100 (The model name is different. Specs, software, identical.)

Thank God I was able to update it to Android 4.0.3 over Kies.

So my brother (who has an LG Optimus 3D) is now incredibly jealous of my Galaxy S II (I beat him to the Android 4.0 race.)

But I'm still a bit irked. I wanted a GT-i9100. I was led to believing that we did get a GT-i9100.

I'm thinking of rooting and flashing a True Blue Android 4.0 ROM (No TouchWiz.)

Anyone else who has some *horror* stories about buying slightly used Samsung Galaxy S II's?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
im disappointed with my sgs2 (and note) camera due to wave when underneath fluorescent lighting. sometimes it happesn too when underneath lamp post (street lights).

and the wifi switch on bug too. :(
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:
actually i want the pop up to appear so i can change the option to "no" so everytime i change my wallpaper it wouldnt affect my lockscreen wallpaper.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
I have a contact who's selling it at Sulit but he only meets up at SM North... kinda hard because he always run out of stock and you have to request it before 10AM. Even I wasn't able to catch up and had to order through MobiMega online. Good thing they can ship it from HK within 24 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] astrogambit78:
Good thing you got your money back on your first seller:)

Before i bought my S2 i watched numerous reviews on youtube 'iphone4/4s vs S2's' stuff like that cus my wife wanted me to get iphone 4 so we can have the same smartphone. But it lacks customization so i went for this wonderful phone of ours, i almost bought the GT-I9100T but reading further, due to the demand of S2's all over the world, samsung came up with different versions of

S2, like with the "G,M,T". So when i got this that was the first thing i checked, sometimes you might get misled by the box, i says GT-i9100, but after opening and check settings sometimes it has the 'G,T or M'. So next time it's best to read and/or watch review's of items we want to buy to be sure and satisfied:D:)

Welcome to the S2 family Dude :D and whatever you will use for root and ROM to flash be sure it is compatible with your S2 model:)

Happy flashing:)

[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
My contact sells it for 2.2k (AFAIR), the one I got abroad was only for 1.8k pero you still have to pay extra for shipping.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
samsung store in sm fairview 1.2-1.3k (someone in tipidpc mentioned this).

samsung store in trinoma 1.5k (lots of stock yesterday)

pchub in gilmore where i got mine 1,320. but you have to call for stock
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Wow they really pulled the prices down... but that was expected due to the S3's arrival :(
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
these were already the prices prior s3 and it was still rumors.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Rumors indeed... incidentally, those are the prices of an after-market extended battery... the non-Samsung made. That was the one initially offered to me but declined as I prefer the original one.

Hi SGS2 Philippines,

i just acquired a korean sgs2 model, luckily flashed it to a GT-i9100. I have no problems so far.

with too many roms lying around, I was wondering on what's your preferred ROM,Kernel,Modem installed.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] astrogambit78:
Dude you got the best AOKP ROM (personal opinion ofcourse:D)

Use Siyah kernel if you want dualboot options (AOKP/AOSP):)

btw, XXLPX baseband good for you? Tried different modem's but that's the only modem that gave me the "no signal" notification, don't know why:o:)

Thanks in advance.

using custom rom could help with battery and performance plus it's more fun customizing the fone ro ur personal taste. it is still up to u if ur game for that :)

almost all users are on ics now but there is no stable version atm but already usable. u can start with stable gb roms like cm7 and miui
