[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
I'm using DXKL1 modem with Globe, it sucks as well Or maybe just Globe sucks (no matter which modem i use, service is bad , cant seem to lock on 3g/Hsdpa for very long and the download speeds are horrible (always less tham 2Mbps)
[Galaxy S II General] thinwhitestripes:
I was wondering, are modems firmware specific?

For example, the old KL1 modems on gingerbread, are they still usable on ICS?

And also, I noticed on sammobile that they have a specific firmware version of LP7 for Globe. I know that it's safe to flash a different version, but what would be the benefits if I did? I wondered this since I downloaded the firmware on intratech's thread and it says it is multi-csc.

Thanks :)

Just bought hdmi cable from cdr king moa.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i passed by too. saw micro usb to hdmi. p580 vs 1.5k+ original samsung. the problem with the cdr king version is that you cant charge your phone while it is connected unlike the original there's extra port to charge the phone.

i didn't buy it coz i want hdmi to vga. they dont have, never had it before.

i forgot to ask if they have RCA converter (hdmi to RCA) :(

at least i know it will work on most projectors
[Galaxy S II General] mgprime.havoc:
No extra port for charging indeed. I forgot to check that b4 buying. How stupid of me. Wasted money.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
you can still use it ;) just make sure its 100% charged.

now i found an alternative, i need to find hdmi to rca...

btw, have you tried it? how was it?
[Galaxy S II General] mgprime.havoc:
Haven't tried it yet. I'm on currently on the road. Boracay baby :) will try if there is a hdmi compatible monitor in the hotel and report back.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
you didn't test it in cdrking? anyway, i'll go back later and check if there is hdmi to RCA/composite instead of VGA.

:(

i'll perhaps pass the extra charging feature coz its quite expensive. 580 vs 1.5k+...

anyway i still have my stock battery.
[Galaxy S II General] mixtapes08:
i have one (brand new samsung micro usb to hdmi)and im selling it for 1k just pm me. My friend gave it to me not knowing that my phone (nexus s) doesn't have TV OUT capabilities. damn...
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
PM sent sir :)

to be honest i dont have any device capable at home where i can connect this. i got impressed with iPad + VGA. good thing our projector in the office has hdmi. i dont want them to under estimate my android hahaha

Question guys, which version of ICS are you using? I used DXLP7 and i'm having issues with the lock screen and the power button (no menu). I tried to search and it seems i can't fix the issue without rooting my phone first.
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
or you can try doing a factory reset

DXLP7 here and no problems whatsoever.

wassup guys...am gonna have m vacation next month (in the Philippines of course :D) and we are planning to have a road trip to pangasinan with mc but im not familiar with the road from bulacan to pangasinan, anybody here done an offline map of the philippines, at least for luzon.:D i already have an idea of the routes but i just needed an offline map to track where am i heading via gps.:D
[Galaxy S II General] hot ice:

Sir i want to update my sgs2 to latest stable ICS.

I will use intratech's frankenstien and flash thru odin.

Will it wipe my device?

Or is there a non wipe stock ics rom that can i download? Thanks!

Been busy with my SGN, kaya ayun nawala na ako sa track. :))

Hello, CM9 nightly build user here on Globe Prepaid. Currently have the old XXKL1 modem from my GB ROM. Am I using the best modem for our area/carrier already? If not, then what's the best modem for me to use?

Thanks guys! :)
[Galaxy S II General] trixnix:
Oh ok sir.

Hmm. Whats rom should i download?
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
DXLP7 and XWLP3 are among the most stable ICS releases. LP7 is for the asian region and LP3 is O2 Uk's official ICS release. both are fast and smooth. so if you are deciding to flash these stock roms, either would do just fine. Intratech has an unbranded version of LP3 removing all O2 bloat so you might wanna check it.

On custom roms, some of the custom roms active I think are wanamlite and foxhound based on the latest ics releases. you can head over dev section to check it also.
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
that probably is the best one. i tried the pre-cache but its useless though i saw before in one of the forums before how to save a map but lost it
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
use sygic or mapdroyd...or you can go to roadguide.ph and get the offline map from there...google maps is ok but a lot of missing roads and markers outside the metro:p

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
welcome kabayan! you can start reading on the original android devt thread...maybe start from intratech's official firmware page then gradually look into custom roms from there...
[Galaxy S II General] migsguerra:
thanxs man !:D
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
yup it is. and it gets even worse if you install go keyboard lol. because opening thread will make the keyboard pop up. i dont know if they got it fixed already in the latest go keyboard update.

did a factory reset. verified the notification access pop up. opening threads was okay. installed go keyboard, then opening threads would make keyboard pop up. uninstalled go keyboard, used stock and problem remains lol.

another factory reset and avoided go keyboard for now

[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
I'm using DXKL1 Modem with Globe, and its always slow for data no matter where I go. So either Globe sucks for HSDPA or, the modem is a bad choice.

Ive tested in makati, mandayulong city, intramuros, cubao and more. Never gets faster than 3Mbps down on hsdpa for me and cell signal is terrible

This is an example of my testing on DXKL1 on Globe in these areas
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
I'm using Navitel, sir. It's not as famous as the ones you can see everywhere but I wasn't after that. I was after the POIs on the available maps. With Navitel's map, even the not-so-important pansitan-sa-kanto is can be found on the map from roadguide.ph. It's continuously growing, me thinks, because of the contributors that keeps on uploading maps. :)
[Galaxy S II General] islaw44:
I'm one of the contributor at roadguide and I'll say that the maps are good. Not complete yet like the other countries but i can say that they have huge collection of POI which will help you not to get lost wherever you are going.

hey guys i flashed an aokp rom and i didnt find it to my liking so i went into recovery and tried to do a nand restore but it couldnt find any of my nand backups and recovery wouldnt reboot so i pulled battery, placed it back and went into download mode to flash a samsung rom via odin. The rom flashed successfully accdg to odin but im just stuck on the samsung logo bootloop. I can enter download mode but i cant get into recovery. Any ideas how to fix this? is this softbrick? Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
im not the best person to provide solution for you. but because i have an idea might as well give it a shot.

i only tried this method which im going to suggest in another phone. samsung too. not SGS2.

flash an older version of firmware. boot it, then flash a newer one.
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:
do you mean gingerbread first then ics?
[Galaxy S II General] toinktoink:
did you try wiping data?
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:

[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
There are, actually, a lot, sir. It just depends on your preference. At this point, Navitel is the only one that supports Android and has the most POIs on its map so far. I might try out other software in case I find others that supports Android and has got tons of POIs on it.

I also have iGo on my phone but I just use if for directions because the maps look better in iGo but there aren't much POIs.

Guys, you might want to check out CM9. Best ICS experience for me.

It's very easy to flash(may noob-friendly way pa). It's highly customizable and fixed na ung Video Recording at GPS. And you can do more optimization sa settings. Tipid pa sa bat! Ang dalas pa magupdate tas hindi nawiwipe ung installed apps and data everytime you update. I've tried Resurrection Remix before but CM9 is better. I've been using it for almost 3 weeks now.

[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
If i were you i would wait a few more days for sure Samsung would release something for our region.

Poland was the first one to get LPQ, and that was buggy. We got our LP7 and it was far way better. So for sure if you wait a few more days were gonna get another update too.

And according to some users LPS seems to have the same bugs of LPQ

sir which app po to be specific can open the downloaded file?

NOTE for those planning to get try to output display to another device: when using Samsung MHL HDTV Adapter to send display from HDMI to another device (monitor, projector, etc.) you need to have external power (uh... charger haha) else it will not work.

Tested: MHL HDTV adapter + HDMI to DVI + charger = success! (doesn't work without charger)

oh another thing. since there aren't devices HDMI ready, dont immediately buy HDMI to <insert_interface_here> (ex.: HDMI to VGA). test it first! :) good thing i practiced my patience. there are cables like HDMI-VGA interface that doesn't mean HDMI to VGA. instead, VGA to HDMI... something like that...

someone posted here micro USB to HDMI. can you confirm it is working sir?

next to try: MHL + HDMI to HDMI (no conversion) with or without power.

Don't change your rom unless you're unhappy with it. If it works fine don't fix it na lang. Honesty there's not much of a difference because stock roms on the s 2 are good.

Ang dami ko nang na flash na rom in the end bumalik rin ako sa stock. Ito ngang recent ki2 software para sa pinas walang lag eh. Super ok siya. Just use kies to update yours at wag mo muna palitan.

guys, marunong ba kayo mag backup ng contacts?

looking for an app that backs up your phonebook contacts as a single file, then also can restore it (parang ung app na SMS backup and restore). mahilig kc ako magflash, plaging nabubura ung phonebook
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
no need for an app.

go to contacts>import/export>export to sd card. import the file after you flash.done :)
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
ayos!

+1 :)
[Galaxy S II General] Hilari0:
Or if you just sync it to Google, with your Google account, you wouldn't even have to do that as the contacts will be there as soon as you sign in with your Google account.. I never back up anything like that, only pictures and sms before flashing. Only thing getting lost is progress in games and other apps with saved data.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] rey031:
+1 for this. When I first came to Android from Nokia, I just exported my contacts to a CSV file and imported it here: http://www.google.com/contacts

For app data and game progress, etc, use one of the best Android programs out there for rooted phones, Titanium Backup ;)

titanium backup only works for rooted phones, la pa ako alam na equivalent app for non-rooted phones. siguro walang ganun for non-rooted phones kasi kelangan i-access yung /data folder para makuha yung mga necessary information for backup

can i flash another ICS firmware like LPS and LP4 without any doubt?

as far as i know..when we flash via odin csc lost..

dialing *#272*[imei]# can solve this? even if in (GLB)?

when i was in galaxy ace(XTC) which was unlocked..when i flashed european or any region..i lost csc but then dialing *#272*[imei]# then choices pop-up..choosing (XTC) again will fixed my csc.

is this the way also for a s2 (GLB)?
