As in a contractual obligation? No indeed, I know that. But aparently (look around here on XDA) it is expected. Dissapoint customers too long, and you will be ditched for the one who doesn't.

Yeah, because getting a Nexus device will get you there quicker ;) Most Nexus S users are still waiting on their update to ICS since updating was stopped at dec 20th.

And somewhere in my post I did mention myself that I lack fundamental understanding of the process of building firmware for handsets, thanks for repeating that to me. That doesn't mean I'm unable to compare this process to other processes and draw conclusions as a customer.

Updating on Android is slow and ceases quickly (this will probably be the last major update for the SGS2 already), so when developing stuff for Android you need to take at least 5 different versions of the OS into concideration because the market shares of the versions are very fragmented. A nuisance for developers, and also for users stuck on Froyo for example who cannot install some app because the developer chose to only build it for 2.3+ to save some time and money.
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
If you guys dont care that much, why you're replaying to this kind of threads?

The only thing I am talking about, is lack of communication between customer and Samsung. How the hell they can give fresh news about ICS update on their official website, and then, immidiatly, deleting it, and telling in twitter something about "wrong date". How cool is that?

They can at least say one time 100% date, but they're just keep all in secret, that's not the good way how they should treat to custumers of best device in 2011.

I'm still shocked how Galaxy Note users keep waiting for it, one leak, no news, no everything. Obviously, Sammy didnt release ICS for them in March, then, their saying about "Galaxy Note & Galaxy S2 ICS in Q1 2012" is wrong.

Have this same wakelock. I noticed it so I tried rebooting the phone

When I rebooted I went from 69% battery to 15% when the screen came back on. During none of this time was the phone near or on the charger. However I did notice that when the phone cane back on after rebooting when it said 15% battery it also said it was charging and slowly battery began creeping back. Again all this was while I was at school no where near a charger.

This wake lock though has killed my battery and I have no clue what's going on.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneturf:
VBUS present wakelock caused by using Apple compatible charger

It does not look like this was ever resolved, so figured I would chime in since I have been looking at this for a while.

If you use a charger which is compatible with Apple products, it will cause the vbus_present wakelock since Apple does not adhere to USB standards and requires two of the pins to be bridged or open (can't remember which) to work for their products. However, when you charge a device that does adhere to USB standards with one of these chargers, it will cause the wakelock (on all the samsung phones I have seen, anyway).

Another downside to using an apple compatible charger is that you can never get more than 500ma out of it due to the non-standard USB connection, even if the charger is capable of 2000ma output. So you get slower charging.

When you are connected to any charger, this wakelock will be present. If you use an Apple compatible charger, it will persist after you unplug it and will drain your battery around 10% per hour since it prevents it from going into deep sleep. You can clear the wakelock by rebooting the phone or plugging it into a standard USB charger, such as a PC or Samsung charger, even for a few seconds.

You can use Better Battery Stats to see the effects of this wakelock. Note that it can take a few minutes to show up once you have unplugged from the apple charger.

Yes, this really p*sses me off. This is one of the reasons I no longer have any Apple products in my house and long since thrown away all the Apple compatible wall chargers I once had. It still comes back to bite me since I still have a couple of chargers that contain batteries to charge when you are away from a wall outlet and they both cause this. When I use them I just have to make sure I reboot afterward. The USB outlet I have installed behind the stereo in my car also causes this wakelock. I have one to replace it but have not gotten around to removing the stereo to do this yet.

The next best solution to never using an apple compatible charger at this point would be to have a kernel that addresses this and removes the wakelock after it is unplugged but I don't see this happening.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kouangooo:
I guess you meant that with a device that adhere to USB standards, there are NO wakelock ?

I happen to have the same issue here :/ I've read somewhere that the wakelock could be provoke depending on whether the screen was unlocked when charger is unplugged. I am trying to find the source :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
There are wakelocks even with those that adhere to USB standards. What I've understood is that those wakelocks are only while the device is charging, preventing from deepsleep. Once the charger is removed, the wakelock goes away. What I understand from the post above, Apple chargers cause the wakelocks to remain even after removing the charger.

Thats what I understood, and I may be wrong. Feel free to correct me. :)

I have the same problem with my GT-i9023.

But it is NOT connected to the charger.

I already have fully reset my phone (and removed battery for about 50 seconds) without connecting to google-account and without installing additional apps. And it still shows Vbus_present wakelock.

I use the original Sansung charger, that came with the phone.

If the phone is fully switched off and NOT connected to the charger, it still shows the "loading battery", when shortly depressing the power-button.

Does anyone have an Idea, what I could do ?

So, I have been with Android since the G1 and then switched to the OG Droid on Verizon. Ever since the beginning I have been rooting and rom'ing my phones and loving every minute of it. I recently switched to Sprint because I absolutely loved the 4.5" SGS II and I'm in love with this phone. The exynos processor is insane, and should keep this phone near the top of the pile for a long time to come. Okay, enough ranting. My question is, does anybody have a single link or maybe a couple of links that I should go to if I was interested in starting to create my OWN rom for my phone? I am completely clueless about where to start and what to download, etc. and I know there are a ton of awesome devs in our community so I was hoping somebody would be able to give me a sort of headstart by showing me a site where somebody may have compiled all of the tools you need to get started. I appreciate any help in advance. Thanks guys.

As for right now the Galaxy s2 is the way to go buddy. Big nice screen, awesome battery, good developer support (comparatively), the Exynos chipset, nice light sturdy build, etc. And due for an ICS update (eventually). That will probably change when the wave of Quad core phones come out. Wait for the Galaxy S3, being announced the first half of 2012
[General Questions and Answers] netban:
Agreed with the above. As an owner of said phone, it really is great and well supported.

I made the switch from a HTC Wildfire to my current phone (SGSII) around 9 months ago. It is by far the best phone I have ever owned and until something really epic comes out, this is the badboy for me :-)

You will probably be waiting until the end of the year for something that's truly better in every department and that you can actually buy, not just an announcement.

Hi,

I'm just trying to update my miui music player with the new ICS theme.. although it would seem that developers are releasing them as stand alone .apk's rather than a theme - this is fine if you don't have miui rom with the miui player installed as a system app.

But if you run a miui rom and have it installed as a system app the new ics miui music .apk wont install as it can't remove the original system app...

I've tried removing the original miui music system app with titanium backup and it boots into recovery, but signature verification fails when I disable this verification I have to boot back up to tell titanium to remove the system apk then it goes back to recovery and signature verification is reenabled by default - so stuck in a catch 22.

My whole phone is ics theme apart from the miui music.. can anyone advise what I can do to install the miui music ics themed apk?
