I think this is a kernel issue. I've upgraded to 4.0.4 and the problem is over now. I'm using XXLQ6 UK unbranded from SamMobile. Try that one.

A ROM da TIM tinha esse problema também, mas só no kernel original. Atualize pra última versão do Reino Unido que o problema foi resolvido.
[Galaxy S II General] eugeniofc:
Im using LQ6 here too.... works fine
[Galaxy S II General] vitors:
I have the same problem here... and happens more often than I'd like :P

Acir, can you send me the link? i cant find the unbranded ROM for UK =/

Thanks.

Guys, anyone using the stock 4.0.4 uk rom I9100XWLPT? My wife's Galaxy S2 is stuck on Vivo's 2.3.4 rom and I think I will try to flash this one.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
It has the same hard brick bug of the Galaxy Note (that is, the stock kernel that comes with it). You should check it out first, but as long as you don't perform any factory reset (which you probably will have to, since you are going from GB to ICS).

No one has been able to identify preciselly what triggers the brick bug yet, but it is related to the CAP_ERASE code on the kernel - some custom kernels have that code disabled, such as SiyahKernel v. 4.0, so they should be safe with ICS 4.0.4.

Anyway, in my personal opinion, try one of the last 4.0.3 ICS ROMs, such as the argentinian UHLPS or the german XWLPI (both unbranded, running smooth and sound and bug free). The UHLPS has the highest 4.0.3 changelist, but, again in my opinion, XWLPI is smoother.

Is there any Custom ROM with working MHL support to SGS2?

[Galaxy S II General] aagobbo:
Hi guys...

I'm using cMIUI, and it's a good ROM, i recomend, but i'm getting some no service trouble... someone said to me that it may be a modem problem, to change it... i know that the modem has to work with our provider (or not?) so, i want a modem to work with VIVO... mine is XXLPH... and i'm using ICS, i don't if the modem has to match the android version...

Modem is the only thing i couldn't understand in android, how it works and how to choose one...
[Galaxy S II General] eugeniofc:
the modem makes and control the interface between your S.O. (android) and radio hardware (thing that emits and recieve signals from and to network operator).

how to choose.... trial and error....

Volume

Boa tarde Pessoal,

Alguém usando CM10 aqui? Estou usando e notei que o volume do som é bem baixo se comparado a CM9, percebi que existe uma configuração em Som / Volume seguro no fone de ouvido, mas mesmo com essa opção desmarcada o volume no máximo é baixo =/ tanto para o player (testei Apolo e Power Amp) quanto para o radio FM (uso o Spirit Light).

Mais alguém notou isso?

Hi guys,

Anybody is using CM10? I'm using it and I notice the volume is very low, I saw a Safe Volume option on configuration, but even with it turned off volume still keeps lower on player and radio FM (Spirit light).

Someone else also having problems?

*thanks Tiu Fiu by warn me about the rules
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:
It's a known bug, already discussed a lot in the cm10 thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
You should probably check the CM10 thread itself for more details.

And we can talk in portuguese here, as long as we post it translated in english as well (it can even be copy/paste from google translator, you don't really need to speak english to post around here, but this is an international forum, and users from all around the world are free to access our "brazuca" thread).

For more information, check the forum rules (rule #4, if I'm not mistaken).

Like I explained in the post above, you too should check the CM10 thread itself for more info.

And I'm not busting your balls, but, by the rules here, you do need to post an english translation either below or above your statement in portuguese, so that others that don't speak our beloved language can understand what you say (it can be a simple translation pasted from Google Translator, but it has to be there).

And as for the sound thing, I'm using a custom kernel (SiyahKernel v.4.0) that has a volume-boost feature called "eargasm", you should check it out.

Best regards mates...

Always Roaming Fix for Oi Brasil Telecom BRA BrTCelular

Hello guys,

I would like to share my experience fixing the problem that I had for a long time, that I need to enable data roaming for my network connection, since my operator is Oi, that bought Brasil Telecom long ago and until now the Net Operator signal is named BRA BrTCelular and the SIM Card is branded Oi, so all phones get confused and think that they are in roaming.

I wanna thanks Tiwag for the original post here, and here is the procedure for our particular case:

1º - Install the app Script Manager - SManager

2º - Open SManager and enable Browse as root when it asks.

3º - Browse to anywere on your SD card and press the Menu button and click on New (Novo) and the click on New Program (Novo Programa). Name it "roaming" or whatever you like. Open it with SM Editor

4º - Write this script with the SM Editor:

#!/system/bin/sh

getprop | grep operator
echo OiBrT start

setprop gsm.sim.operator.alpha "BRA BrTCelular"
setprop gsm.operator.isroaming false

getprop | grep operator
echo OiBrT done

5º - Now click on Menu button and then hit Save (Gravar) and then click on back button to get out of editor.

6º - You will be on the script config screen and now click on the buttons Fav, SU, Boot and make sure that their icon is colored (activated). Click on RUN to test it and then on Save (Gravar). Now exit this config clicking on Exit (sair)

7º - Refresh your connection (reconnect, or change to 2G only and then go back to 2G/3G) and see it it's working.

Hello everyone.

Vivo Brazil is now offering a SGS2 model "GT-I9100B". Does anyone know the differences between our international I9100 and this "B" variant?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
Never heard of it, but if it is anything like the Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) I had before my S2, it might be a brazilian-made variant (for the latin-american market) with some sort of microchip change. The brazilian-made Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830B) had something (don't know what) that made it impossible to flash international ROMs.

TIM SP modem

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S2 factory unlocked (bought in Kabum) with Ressurrection Remix JB v3.8 and Siyah kernel 3.0.15-v4.1.5+. I use it with TIM SP.

I've started using the default suggested modem (I think is LPX) from the ROM and I got the problems bellow. Now I'm using LPS and I'm having same problems.

I'm having lot of celular network connection problems. The signal goes on and off lots of times during the day. Sometimes It stays off for hours.

I don't know if this is something related with modem software, ROM or hardware.

Can you please help me?
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
As I've heard so many complaints about TIM recently (in SC, PR and RS though), I believe that it may be a carrier problem. You may try using another phone with the same SIM card, and a SIM card of another carrier in your phone to check out whether this is the problem or not. Just an idea.

After that your baseband and ril will be UHLPH

Now you can flash any JB ROM and use getril app from play store to fix your ril to UHLPH.

Your baseband won't change when you flash a cm based rom, but your ril do change. So getril to get compatible uhlph ril

Hope you get everything working fine

Guys, do you know which operators are enabled or not for fast dormancy in Brazil?

There's a list anywhere?

I'm in SP, was using Vivo with fast dormancy disabled.

Then tried a Claro chip for a month and hate it... seems Claro has fast dormancy enabled though.

Now I'm back to Vivo, much better data connection everywhere. I just couldn't identify if fast dormancy is enabled or not... sometimes it switch fast the 3G / H / H+ which indicates fast dormancy is enabled... but during the switch, the connection lags a little, that shouldn't happen with fast dormancy.

Já que é um tópico brasileiro, acho q não ha problemas de falar português aqui, certo? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
The topic might be brazilian, but this is an international forum, with its own rules regarding other languages beside english (forum rule number 4, if I'm not mistaken).

That being said, there is no problem if you post anything in Portuguese as long as you post an English version above or below, like I did in this reply. Even if you don't speak English very well, a simple and quick translation from Google Translator will sufice (nobody here will force you to speak English fluently - and if someone mocks you, rest assured that someone will take a lot more heat than you - trust me, I've seen that happen around here)

---------------------------

O tópico pode ser brasileiro, mas o fórum é internacional, com regras próprias no q diz respeito ao uso de outras línguas além do inglês (regra numero 4 do fórum, se eu não me engano).

Dito isso, não tem problema vc postar em português contanto q vc poste em cima ou embaixo em inglês, como eu fiz nesta resposta. Mesmo se vc não souber muito inglês, uma simples tradução rápida do Google Tradutor é aceitável (ninguém aqui vai te obrigar a falar inglês perfeitamente - e se alguém te zoar, pode ter certeza q esse alguém vai tomar mais sermão do q você - confie em mim, eu já vi isso acontecer por aqui)

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

As far as I know, no carrier in Brazil supports fast dormancy yet. The point of having fast dormancy is preciselly to switch from 3G, H and H+ quicklly in order to spare the battery a bit. The problem is that when the carrier does not support fast dormancy, our phone keeps on switching on its own all the time, trying to keep up with the signal from the carrier, but consumes a lot more battery than it should, and the connection lag happens all the time.

I'm a Claro user in São Paulo and after I disabled fast dormancy, the connection lag almost disappeared (it still happens every now and then, but mostly when first accessing the internet).Also, the battery's lifespan has increased a little bit, so I would suggest you to disable it as well.

I just made a test.

With FD on the phone can quickly change FACH->DCH->IDLE.

With FD off it takes longer, once it got stuck in FACH for over a minute, which is bad, not going to IDLE means the modem will keep draining power.

I believe FD is supported in my area then, and it's good... will do more tests.

Hi, i'm having the same problems, usign XXLQ6...

the only question is, do you see "phisically" the network problem? Like, on the status bar? or its just bad signal? Like for me, for instance, usually the signal bar its good, but i have to repeat 2-3 times each SMS/phone call I want... actually, whasup its saving me...

when I have time, i'll give a try on this one... I can't do a factory reset right now, and these kind of changes kind of require it, so...

Better (Best) Firmware (Stock) for GSII TODAY

Hi

I was wondering if anybody can tell me which is the best Stock Firmware available today!

After a long time with Ressurection Remix 2.6.1 I decided to go back to a Stock Rom. I also used to be a JKAY Deluxe user so it would be even better if i could have an compatible firmware with what JKay has available right now. Im in Belo Horizonte and my carrier is CLARO.

What i need most is good battery, good sinal and good internet conection (Im on 3G NOT 3G Plus).

Im about to by the Nitrodesks Touchdown for Outlook Sync for work so I would very much apreciate it if someone could help me change the Rom before I make this purchase.

Thanks in advance and big propz for TiuFiu and all those who helped me in other ocasions!

By the way...never was able to fix light's out problem when calling someone (neither RR or Cyanogen 9). Both always blanks out my phone one out of each two times I dial and make a call. Its like calling someone with the phone blinded! So...

Peace & Love

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
No problem brother, that's why we are here...

Now, as for the stock ROM, the latest ROM with JKay is the argentinian UHLPS, but I would suggest you to go with Open Germany (DBT) XWLPI - I found it better than UHLPS, even with the slightly lower changelog.

The problem is that JKay is only available on ICS 4.0.3 ROMs - JKay decided to wait for SII's Jelly Bean firmwares and skip 4.0.4 to work on JKay framework for the SIII, but he'll be back for JB on the SII.

Since there won't be any JKay for 4.0.4, I've opted for keeping with XWLPI until JB comes out, and I gotta say it has been living up to expectations.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II General] guedes_puc:
+1 using XWLPI. It's the best 4.0.3 ROM I have tried so far and I'm also skipping 4.0.4 because of the jkay framework.

Thanks. I really apreciate the feed!

Thanks a lot TiuFiu. Im going with your sugestion.

Since you've been helping me since a while now, was it you who sugested some things to resolve my blank out problem while calling in Cyanogenmod 9 based rooms like Ressurection Remix for example?

I gave it a shot and noticed that the GPS performance has improved significantly. I guess I will never use my crappy NavCity GPS again xD
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
Speaking of that, what GPS apps do you guys use in Brazil?

I've tried Sygic, Ndrive, Route 66, Osmand, Waze... none of these are as good as my Garmin device regarding map updates and route calculation.

Google Maps navigation is ok, the problem is offline maps is not enabled in Brazil, our country is not supported, check it out:

https://support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2650347

Anybody know why?!?!?!?

My guess: Carrier+Anatel lobby. (Sacanagem da Anatel+Operadoras). The famous brazilian way. They don't want Google to offer it here for free because they want us to pay for it in other service, like Nokia Maps or Vivo Maps.

Of course it's technically possible, older Google Maps versions were capable to offline cache maps in Brazil. C'mon, look at that list of countries, some I didn't even know it exist, so small it doesn't even appear in the Atlas book, LOL, but they have offline Maps, and we don't.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
If you ask me mate, the simplest answer is the correct one (A.K.A. Occam's Razor): it is the hole data-plan deal. With the exception of a few extremely expensive and unlimited data plans, most of the plans are limited - 10, 100, 300, 500 MB, etc...

C'mon, if I was a carrier, I would most definitely prefer to have my customers forced to download map data every time they use it (which, in a GPS app, is in the street, usually far away from any WiFi network, forcing me to use 3G data connection) than allowing them to do a one-time download (which you can do at home, with you own WiFi connection) and just use 3G to download simple location/route information.

A simple basic data knowledge can show you that the map tiles (images) are far bigger in data-size terms than simple location information or route instructions (bits of code and whatever).

So, to sum-up, yes, I do believe it is the "Brazilian way" lobby between carriers/Anatel/Google and their "fragile-little-minds" that are still thinking like old 19th century aristocrats - the same way most businessmen and government officials here in Brazil think it is better to sell fewer items at higher prices, rather than selling a lot of items at lower prices.

Hell, I remember someone saying somewhere here that Samsung Brasil would delay the release of ICS for the SII (as they did) because they didn't want to affect the sales of our Galaxy Nexus (or Galaxy X) since the only advantage the Brazilian GNex had before the SII at the time was the ICS firmware - and at the same time Samsung was releasing ICS everywhere else (Europe, Asia, Oceania and even in the Middle East) with PT-BR. For crying out loud, I can still remember my rage at Samsung Brasil when I saw OFFICIAL ICS firmwares released for Iraq and Afghanistan before Samsung Brasil released the official (and outdated) Brazilian firmwares - AND THOSE COUNTRIES ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
Very true... and you know what's worse, 3G is total cr@p in most places, turns out it's impossible to use Google Maps Navigation without offline maps.

I also heard another possibility... Satellite photos in Latin America are not owned by Google, they have a license to use the images, but there's some legal restriction that they can't make it offline for users. That sounds another lobby, the one that hunts pirate windows copies in companies and put people in jail because they sell pirate music CDs.
[Galaxy S II General] Tiu Fiu:
I've never heard anything about that, but if its true, how is it possible that Brazil still has no offline maps after so many months of availability in other countries?

I mean, we are in full-size continental country with a hell of a large market, with some of the top statistics in the world. Sure, we are nothing close to first world countries in many, many aspects (hell, we are far behind many third world countries in other aspects as well), but we are extremelly far away when in comparison in gross market terms to, I don't know, 80% of the countries that have offline maps on Google Maps (again, hell, due to monetary exchange conversions we were - falselly - the 6th economy in the world for a few months).

I think when you put some of those numbers in the game, it would be fair to assume that Google would have done some sort of agreement by now if they had only licensed the map data from someone else.

I mean, I can't really see how anyone can be profiting from this hole thing if not for the carriers (I mean Claro alone charges R$ 4,00 PER MEGABYTE exceeded on a post-paid (on contract) data plan and it is fairly easy to use a couple of hundred MB on Google Maps alone). And certainly Google isn't profiting from it, I mean, the existance of offline maps isn't something to advertise, but the lack of it certainly does NOT look good for Google, who is portrayed as the bad guy in this story).

Man I'm on a talking mood today...
[Galaxy S II General] Noed:
Sad thing is... Google doesn't seem to give a shi@t, there's no official statement anywhere.

Hey folks, I just wanted to let you all know about some very good sources on Fast Dormancy I just found here on XDA...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1909996

The link above goes to a thread by a XDA TV producer called Erica, with a Youtube link to a video made by her explaining a lot about Fast Dormancy, its details and how to find out if your carrier supports FD or not.

In that thread there are a couple of references to 2 apps related to FD, one by GokhanMoral (the man behind SiyahKernel) and one by supercurio (another genius we have around here, responsible for A LOT of good stuff here on XDA).

The app created by GokhanMoral (called "FastDormancy Toggle for i9300" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gokhanmoral.fastdormancytoggle.i9300 ) apparently also works on out S2.

The app created by supercurio (Voodoo RRC Tool - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.rrctool ) seems to have the capability of detecting the support of FD, but I haven't been able to check yet.

I was watching the Youtube video by Erica, but my connection at work seems to have gone down and it is lunch time, baby, so I'll try to watch it later and let you know how it goes...
