Hey Guys, Have a question. As we all know there were 2 updates available lately:

Nordic version WLSS and the Baltic version WLSS... CSC: I9100OXFLS3. * info from the sammobile

Somehow i cant update to this latest version as through the mobile as well and through the Kies, somehow Kies doesnt show any update available. The phone belongs to the same Baltic region, was bought through the local operator with 4.0.3 version. Have updated S2 up to WLSN.

Current version on phone:

Android 4.1.2

Baseband version: I9100XXMS2

Kernel version: 3.0.31 - 1069234

build number: i9100XWLSN

am i missing something?

Thanks guys for your help!

Use odin...
[Galaxy S II General] Denizzz4Android:
Strange, after a try again i could download the update through the phone, but failed to install. I tried to open Kies, Kies cant find any update and still writes that WLSN is the lastest version. Thats a nice service from Sammy. Strange situation I'd say. :(
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
rooted kernel? frozen services?

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II General] Denizzz4Android:
nope, neither of these....

any idea why i cant see the update through the Kies if i even can download the update through the phone? i have updated from 4.0.3. to 4.1.2 all the way through the phone, never intervented into the installation.
[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Well ota updates and kies updates are different things. Tho we've seen people with issues like this, a factory reset would work I guess.

You're on jb right? You might be getting a kernel update.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II General] Denizzz4Android:
Yep, i am on jb 4.1.2 WLSN right now...

What is the difference between ota update and the Kies?

You mean a normal factory reset or a hard one through the recovery mode? i actually once have wiped the cache through the recovery mode.

Anyway, thank you for help, and i am really proud to be the part of such interesting and nice community!
[Galaxy S II General] Denizzz4Android:
nope, the normal factory reset didnt do much.. the same situation. :( Ota update failed.

[Galaxy S II General] gastonw:
Next step would be to wipe cache and dalvik as well, but you'll need root for that.

Kies does the update sort of like you would do an odin flash, it has the same risks in my opinion. It downloads the ROM and flasheses thru kies (samsung) software, making a safe-proof in case something's goes south.

OTA does kinda the same thing Mobile Odin does, it flashes the new ROM/kernel with the current kernel you're on.

The best option you got is to root and get Mobile odin (pro version is 5 bucks and it allows you to root any stock ROM you flash). With this up you can flash ROMS back and forth as you pleased with bricking risk set to almost none.

By rooting, you of course, will void warranty, but that's the beauty of it, you can always one-click unroot your device and warranty is back on its place.

Sent from the little guy
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
There are no CF root kernels available for JB roms but you can use

philz kernel

which provides you the same: repacked stock kernel + root + CWM recovery.

Edit: Siberian Tiger was faster :)

CF Root got stucked on ICS because of 4.0.4's drama.

Hi gastonw,

and allow me to add that with Mobile Odin Pro, one may also flash zips, kernels back and forth as well and inject SuperSu and Mobile Odin itself, check md5 sums before flashing ROM...really useful app.

Doesn't make coffee, though.

ALARM BUG?

Hey mates,

can someone confirm that on all JB Roms included LSS are still a Alarm Bug present? Sometimes the Alarm Ring only 1Sek and go off:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
I had this issue on LSN about once a week but so far not on LSS although I can't be sure until I've used it a bit longer. For me the best thing to do was set two alarms with the second a minute later than the first because at least one of them always seemed to work. Maybe try that for now?
[Galaxy S II General] kswiss86:
i look on NeatRom for that but i have to know if its on Stock Roms(with no Mods) too because then it were a Sammy Bug.
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Hi I'm sorry to say but I had the issue on stock LSN (Not NEAT) but luckily for me it wasn't a major issue.

I am running PhilZ's rooted LSS (stock based) kernel though so it's not perfectly stock but I highly doubt this is a kernel issue.
[Galaxy S II General] DarkHorse:
sometimes happened on stock ics rom as well...

I founded a workaround for this bug with the smart alarm option... try to thick the "smart alarm" ...into the alarm settings... and set how many minutes before the alarm will ring (5 will be ok) ... you can also set a less traumatic ringtone as smart alarm... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] kswiss86:
thx. i try it. If its dont work i install a 3rd Party Alarm App;)

congrats Samsung:good:
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Hi can you guys please confirm that GPS is working on LSS? It worked for me on LSN but for some reason not on LSS even when using the LSN modem.

It tries to fix for ages and never can but it's not that it can see the satellites and not connect but instead it says 0/0 fixed when usually, even indoors, I see at least 9 and always all outside. On LSN with 3G I get a fix in 3 seconds!

EDIT: This can't be a rom issue because I flashed this on my sister's S2 and it worked fine... I'll try the usual re-flash etc again and see if it helps.
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
I can confirm that GPS works fine on XWLSS.

Get GPS lock in few seconds.
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Thanks for replying and confirming it's not a rom issue. I haven't had a GPS issue in a very long time! I tried flashing LSS NEE over DNF (just in case) with wiping cache and dalvik and still the gps cant even see the satellites which is strange. Since it's not a rom issue I'll try not to post too much more but thanks anyway!

Lss nee and dnf are absolutely the same, the files are identical, I don't understand way they make two release
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Hi I think they are almost identical except for a tiny change regarding the start of the week day in one system app's settings! Tiny, tiny change haha but I thought I would try it just in case the DNF I downloaded was currupted although I doubted it as I always check the MD5 before flashing. Thanks for sharing that anyway!
[Galaxy S II General] pilotn:
Are identical, I made a file compare with the dos command line fc and there is no difference
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Thanks i think you're right and it was a tiny csc change I read about maybe but still it's ridiculous that they have so many firmware versions!

Ps if anyone was interested and has a similar gps issue than they should power off the device. I simply restarted after flashing before but it appears a full power off seemed to fix the gps issue!

Thanks again to everyone :)

Just for my Information.

if i flashed this LSS from first Page my phone is completly Stock? As i have done the official JB Update over Kies?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
If it's the version for your country/region/carrier, then yes.

BTW:

Latest official release for unbranded Germany (DBT) is XWLSD (can be found on SamMobile).

If you flash this, then KIES and OTA updates will work again.

P.S.:

Why do you want to update via KIES or OTA? Flashing firmware with Odin / Mobile Odin app is very easy IMO.And you can always flash latest ROM version (independent of the country/region/carrier).
[Galaxy S II General] kswiss86:
thx mate. i like contrubutor like you.

its only for Info if i want the device sell and then it should work with kies. I prefer Odin

Did you try to replace stock kernel with Philz.tar while flashing ROM?

I think something similar happened to me too with the latest MobileOdin version and stock XWLSN (If I remember well, I was tired and in no mood for exploring, so I figured I must had ticked something wrong :)) and flashed NeatROM straight after.
[Galaxy S II General] khrone:
I also tested the stock fw but somehow always slipped neatrom 4.6.1 on my phone... for me it works best since i dont have to swap csc files coming from stock nordic roms....

Is cmx worth even trying? Im trying to find a good lite rom with lots to customize and everything to work... ie stock alarm for one for the early work days. Last tried rr rom but the alarm wasnt quite the thing i was looking for. Neatrom is good but something tells me that i have a flashing disorder coming
[Galaxy S II General] electricsheepdreamer:
Don't worry it's treatable :)

You can try to set smart alarm option (much nicer, anyway) as already suggested here.

Personally, I use Alarm Clock Plus, it never missed the beat.

Oh, and I wouldn't know about other ROMs but it's the matter of personal choice, I guess.

Is there a wakelock bug / battery drain issue with I9100XWLSS (4.1.2) ?

Seems to be killing my battery quickly when the location services are on (by wifi/mobile network not GPS).
[Galaxy S II General] Many40:
Hi,

I don't think that XWLSS have any significant battery drain issues comparing to previous builds. I rather think that you should look for a culprit into your rom's setup.

I recommend you to do as follows:

1. Check eg with OS Monitor app (under "Connections" tab) what app/apps connects (without your knowing) to internet after enabling wifi or mobile data.

2. Install BetterBatteryStats app, prepare proper BBS dump file (read 1st post on BBS thread how to do that) and check your wakelocks (focusing on partial ones)

Alternatively, you can download from here.

Check that no KIES process is running on your PC (check in Task Manager and kill everything beginning with "Kies") before starting Odin.

Extract the downloaded zip file and you get the ROM tar/md5 file.

Place this into PDA section of Odin.

Connect the phone in download mode to your PC, wait for Odin to recognize the phone and then flash it.
