Not sure to fully understand. Are you saying you only have email adresses for your contact? Where are their phone numbers and other infos? Did you save anything on your SIM card?

When you add a contact list, be sure you add it IN your google contact, so you will never lose any info from one device to another one.
[Galaxy S II General] j3di:
Or you can connect a USB stick to your phone with an 'on-the-go cable' and transfer that way...

I think that this is good review about new Samsung ICS:

http://blogs.computerworld.com/19880/samsung_ice_cream_sandwich
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
Why is he disappointed about the TouchWiz look and feel?

The only single reason TouchWiz exists is because of Samsung wants to have a distinguishable look and feel that sets it apart from other manufacturers (no matter whether they use AOSP or one of their UIs).

So why should they abandon their look and feel? People know how a Samsung Phone looks from all the ads and their buddies that have Samsung Phones. So it would make not a lot of sense to change it...

I think for the Google Play issue, you will deal by your own !! use the search button, this has been asked many times.

Welcome on CM9
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
How to deal with different ROMs:

1. Read the first page and the first (or first few) posts!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419102

2. If you have problems or questions read the FAQ linked there or written there

3. Use the search button

4. Ask in the thread.

this build is actually really stable, battery life can be extended further using ES-task manager, fully available from google play.

Thanks to the developers of this great build
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
What does ES-task manager do to enhance the battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] Schindler33:
Exactly. I mean what do people expect? That people buy a sgs2 and after some update it looks complete different? I don't think many people want this. they might change there touchwiz ui for newer phones but I doubt it.

But I don't think it would be a good idea to deliver an update that changes the ui and user experience complete.

and ICS is more than a new look and a new lockscreen. I think the reviewer did not notice that.

USB file transfer doesnt work, use Bluetooth
[Galaxy S II General] Nomoi:
Use AirDroid (in the Play Store) to send the file to your SD card over Wifi (phone and computer must be on the same wifi network but that shouldn't be a problem).

Then boot into recovery mode and flash Google apps.
[Galaxy S II General] melorib:

Maybe it doesn't work with weak wifi, but it works great with normal/strong wifi. I've used it for putting the last three nightlies and some other stuff on my sd card, it worked every time, and blazingly fast at that.
[Galaxy S II General] Alienfreak:
You can always download another Launcher from the Play Store if you don't like the Samsung look and feel.

You will be stuck with the notification bar colours though. So a change here would be nice. But I don't really think a lot of people care whether their battery Icon is green or blue.

And I think there was an option to change the system font in Samsung ROMs... but I am not sure whether Roboto is included...

If people wanted a Google Experience they would have bought a Nexus XY. Or are applying custom roms (which is a minority) like us.

People that wanted a Samsung Experience bought a Samsung Galaxy XY

Issues have sometimes nothing to do with your own n00byness !!! Please stop thinking that all users have issues just only because they mess their device. This ROM is still in Alpha stage, and I have no idea why, but some users experience issues that some other don't have.

CODEWORKX XPLODWILD and othere devs

I believe it started in 09/03 build and it remains in 14.. theres is something that u guys merged that is preventing the phone into going deep sleep, you guys better check it out! After 9 hours sleeping when i woke up my phone was like -15% and before anyone says it... no, my phone does not have any apps or anything like that running in the background and i always do a factory reset, cache, and never restore apps or anything cuz i don't care for it.. so I'm sure it is a system thing

Yeah, yesterday I built my first own CM9 following the instructions on http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod9:GT-I9100:How_to_build and a little help from http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

The hardest part was upgrading my Ubuntu from 32 to 64 bit architecture, because one of my filesystems wasn't playing nice (I wonder why I ever chose XFS). Also the waiting time for the 8GB RAM was a pain :-D

I also made a little change, telling the build procedure to use mdpi (instead of the normal hdpi), because I like 160 dpi. And lo and behold, the phone now works in that resolution :-)

Tonight I will check whether it is just the Phone.apk and if yes publish it here for all other people with good eyes and a preference for much information on the screen.

Hi, I'm shure everyone has noticed what i'm about to say but I'd like to know the reason for it. On some menus like the settings one, you can the the gradient fade of the color. Those horizontal bars that go from dark blue to white blue.. In the Nexus that does not happen but it does also happen in the latest Sammy roms (PLQ) I'm just curious whether that can be fixed. And I know it's one of the most unimportant things that you have to care about. But if could tell my why this happens and if there is a way to enhance it (make the gradient more smooth), I'd really apreciate it. Sorry for even asking this but I'm curious about it...
[Galaxy S II General] RagingHarry:
Pull your battery out of the sgs2 for 2 minutes.

Put it back in and its fixed in most casrs.

Is mosstly about the fuel alerted wakelock ;)
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
I'm not sure what causes it, but I'm pretty sure it's partially hardware too. It happens on LCD's too, with more lines but not as noticeable shifts of color. It isn't that annoying, but no display is perfect after all.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
you mean the banding? get used to it.

seems to be hardware related.

next time, don't buy a cheap device. :-P

I have the SII.. you consider the S II a cheap device? Thanks for the answer guys. So there is no solution for this right?

AOSP banding; if you think the SGSII's is bad, take a look at an HD2 running an AOSP based ROM.

The sgs2 is having those issues since the first day and samsung never managed to fix it.

Doesn't matter if you're running gingerbread, ics, or any sammy rom.

Dunno if it's fixable at all.

Yeah it's cheap. If i buy a highend device, i expect a highend device.

But what we got is a device with banding, bad sound, faulty cameras and buggy software.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi there, first post here. I have been following this thread and felt i can contribute to this banding problem. Go to settings - advanced - swipe to screen tab - scenario - select mDNla scenario to the one that says camera.

That makes the banding go away.

[Galaxy S II General] nightmw:
Seems to soften the image a bit more, so the banding is nearly not visible.
[Galaxy S II General] vicgomez:
I think it does more than just soften the image, i think it completly changes the color from 16 bit to 24 bit.

I nearly returned my GS2 because I could'nt stand that disgusting banding. Felt like watching Windows 98.

Some research showed me that it was a software issue and not hardware, the technology used in this screen don't deserves ti be crippled by software settings

download gapps from your phone via wifi (link is in the first post of this thread). If I remember correctly the browser stores files in /sdcard/download by default. Reboot into CWM and install the gapps from that directory.

Once back in the system, set up your google account and then download one of the multiple wifi transfer tools like airdroid (easiest for beginners) or samba tools like samba filesharing (to access your phone from your pc as a network drive) or andSMB (to access samba shares of your pc or NAS) to transfer files back and forth.

just drag the app you want to uninstall on the "remove" for a second or so then it changes to uninstall.
