I have problem whit battery. Android OS take 60% battery use ... And tethering dont work on win xp on laptop. Other things,i can live whit it.
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
It is definitely amusing that many are complaining of ICS being buggy or not stable only to find out that the problem is not the firmware but the users and their impressions, especially with Gingerbread.

Many have forgotten that this is not an incremental update, this is a totally new base for an OS, allow yourself time to acclimatise to the new OS, and I recommend that a full wipe/reset is done and stay away from old pre-ICS backups for the best experience. If you do not do a full wipe/reset or you restore backups and you get bugs, then hold your complaints as the you may have created your own issues.....

SMS sent twich via Go SMS...

All,

It seems that from the time I flashed 4.0.3 XXLPQ 2 SMSs are being sent out for each SMS I send via Go SMS or any other app which is not the stock "messaging" app.

Any idea how to correct this annoying problem? :mad:

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
Yes, use stock SMS and inform developers about their faulty apps.... :banghead:
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I find it very interesting that people are returning to Gingerbread because LPQ looks like Gingerbread... LOL.. Apalling logic.... :)
[Galaxy S II General] StrikeForce9:
I find it to be too buggy. Not impressed. It feels sluggish and when I tried to turn the mobile data on/off, it crashes. My previous rom was Resurrection Remix (v9.5 ICS) and runs so smoothly. I will probably flash back and wait until a new version of Resurrection Remix comes out.
[Galaxy S II General] dinoc:
I have this error on some apps I'm trying to install :

"Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card"

do you have this issue ?
[Galaxy S II General] natarau:
I have the same error when trying to install mSecure - Password Manager, for example.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Could easily be related to other thinks, but in my case (and some others) Swype was the reason and it helped clearing data and restart Swype.

For now 14 hours with 18% battery drop (1 hour browsing/screen on and 15 min. talking and the rest was standby). Its the same or even better than GB :)

No bugs, FC or lag so for me this is a keeper :)

Battery Problem

Hey,

Wondering if someone having this problem with stock LPQ... My phone is not having deep sleep and AOS is consuming 90% of the battery :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Linus/:
@ bahaa89

Was the phone charging? it doesn't go into deep sleep while charging...

Especially since it did go in deep sleep for a couple hours!
[Galaxy S II General] Mercury0660:
known problem if you have root.

solution 1: disable extsd, install app, enable again

solution 2 (perhaps): use latest cf root, chainfire said, the problem could have been solved
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
Anyone else suffering from the Phone/Contacts apps crashing? And yes I did a full reset via CWM before I flashed it with ODIN. Just seems weird.. Gonna try flashing CF-Root in order to wipe the dalvik cache.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
I just flash back the stock kernel, install the app and then reinstall CF-Root after.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

Probably the same way as we had to do in GB.

Just pull down notification bar, press silent mode and that disables autofocus and shutter sounds.
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
Doesn't work in ICS... at least on mine ;(
[Galaxy S II General] aRc.:
Stock ICS and Samsung's ICS are.completely different apparently. Would you suggest rooting and getting a rooted stock ROM to experience the full potential and experience that was intended?
[Galaxy S II General] reidar.ostrem:
Well of course aos is using the battery when you are not using your phone...
[Galaxy S II General] vaya_putada:
Sorry, bad place...

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] uridium_uk:
not a fix but a workaround.....

1) Settings>Storage>Unmount SD card

2) Install app without a problem....

3) Settings>Storage Mount SD card
[Galaxy S II General] ascariss:
Yup this is what happened to me, I did a factory reset not sure if that helped.

But I am having bigger issues now, TW launcher keeps crashing WOW, this is horrible LOL. I don't do anything and it stops working classic! Great I can't use my phone now, ****ing great.

I'm sorry but this is rushed software, it is not ready. The browser also crashes now from time to time, more so than even on the first day of using ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] juri_al:
Just upgrade to SGS2 ICS

I have just Upgraded to ICS and i see a performace of 4300 in the benchmarks.

Is this true ?

Is this consuming to much resources ?

Because of this high performace will it affect my Battery life?
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
Actually it should be better battery-wise now. My GSII is now 12,5 hrs on battery and it's @ 88% with little-to-normal use (some talking, WiFi, H+, a few photos, apps and etc) :)
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
I just did a complete reinstall, wiping the old system, data and cache, and it seems to be working correctly once again. Don't know what went wrong the last time, but for now it seems stable.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Nope, ICS is a lot more efficient at utilizing multiple core processors, so if anything, the battery life should have improved.
[Galaxy S II General] LegoCR:
Hi,

Am still having issues seen the Noise Reduction option during the Calls. Should I have to make it available in some way? Like maybe turn on a setting or something?

:(
[Galaxy S II General] galmok:
I have given up on 4.0.3. It simply has too many bugs, shortcomings and design faults.

Bugs:

Wifi quick enabler/disabler locks up easily.

Still two voice command applications present and the worse of them on double-click button access (same with GB).

Voice command is unable to set alarm without touch interaction (is possible on GB with Alarm Clock Plus).

Worse network coverage. I experienced more dropouts.

Shortcomings:

No flash suport in the browser.

Browser renders slower.

Design faults:

Scroll is simply unpredictable. My movement with my finger translates into randomly higher or lower scroll speed. Also, the scroll isn't fluid.

I have reverted to GB (2.3.5) until the issues are solved. Too bad Kies backup doesn't restore applications and now I have to download all apps again. But what about my payed apps? Do I have to buy them again?
[Galaxy S II General] ben_dov:
what to restore after full wipe

i have seen some people are saing that after full wipe I should not restore everything from my titanium , because sometimes this is making some issues and it works better then. any help with that?
[Galaxy S II General] infuse4g:
My bluetooth streaming is broken. Is it that way for anyone else
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well I was idiot enough to keep trying hard for 6 hours to enable it, after I restored my Nandroid data. It was there of course, after flashing LPQ and then do a full Wipe, but it's no more there after restoring Nandroid. I faded up and stopped. Something my restored data messed up, anyway, f that.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
Just use the option "restore missing apps with data". This won't try to restore system apps so you should be safe.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Haev you tried I9100ZSLPE
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
No mate I haven't, only NEE and Poland one I tried.

If you are using ZSLPE you are very welcome to share feedback.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Not as of yet, was wondering if it would solve the SMS Bug. Hardly likely is it?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ ithehappy

here is the sshot with noise cancellation icon :)
[Galaxy S II General] ortaliz:
What is this mouse pointer option? What does it do?
[Galaxy S II General] DeCex:
uh, how do you take screenshot with this new firmware? anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah its removed in this version, if you are tw user you can either copy it from the previous leak or wait until its added back in future release :)

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

vol down + power button -> press it for 1 + seconds
[Galaxy S II General] :
hehe the father well he is all good he is chillaxing as we speaking

seriously the look of this version from screenshots is pure ugly...you would of at least expected them to keep with the blue theme for the statusbar.:( oh well cm9 it is still for me

yes mate from what i have been reading 3d scrolling has gone..might as well wait for a different version or use a different launcher

hehe you know me kiddo.;)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Nope, I don't have it. What's your PDA/Modem?
[Galaxy S II General] Markoleti:
Tethering work!
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
yeah, notification and status bar color could have been changed atleast, same color for much long time.

cm9 should be the savior :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
all same LPQ
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Ah! My CSC is XXLPD.

Where can I get this XALPQ CSC?

[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Could you rename this md5 to tar and open it in winrar...then can you give me , cache.img ? I can then use it from Mobile ODIN...

Cache.img is csc file.
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Yep, its really bad
[Galaxy S II General] roswell782:
Does nobody know if CFroot work with all LPQ version because it's XEO and i flashed XXLPD (nordic)

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] fmo1973:
Did you try a shutdown and restart after the first boot?
[Galaxy S II General] mrjay:
it's still LPQ. you can use it without issues.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
you can always extract cache without renaming :)

here you go, btw dont forget flashing csc will reset your mobile.

Waited for so long and got a trash update?

I am pretty sure my next phone wont be a samsung, unless its a nexus of course!

Y u no give proper update Samsung?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Where is the attachment dude ??? :D

And When you flash CSC with Mobile ODIN ... it will not reset ...but when i change my CSC it will for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] i37no4z:
less than 7 hours and the battery already down to 60%... I mean it's horrible, as you can see from the screenshots, I didn't even use my phone very much since the screen was seldom turned on.

Wifi was on all the time but it shouldn't have effect the battery usage this much, from my experience with the stock Gingerbread

any idea what else may have caused this?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Um..can't be sure :)
[Galaxy S II General] kova05:
...i am very happy with battery live on stock LPQ...and use phone al day long a lot!
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Found a CWM Zip, just scared of flashing it. Diff kernels modem etc i think.

Hmm!
[Galaxy S II General] TheFluffyOne:
Install BetterBatteryStats and look to see which apps are holding wakelocks. There's at least one very comprehensive thread about this.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Did not have any issue today with LPQ.

I really do not understand why lots of people are complaining about this release.

Everything works like it should, at least the stuff i tried. ;)

Sure some apps are not compatible for ICS yet, but stop complaining about it. It is only a phone guys. :rolleyes:

I still remember the first GB rom for the galaxy S, at that time lots of people were also complaining about it. But look were we are now.:)
[Galaxy S II General] andreasS2:
The only bug I care about is the scrolling that a lot, including myself, have noticed. I even thought about wiping and reinstalling but some folks have done this already and it hasn't fix the scrolling problem.
[Galaxy S II General] julien.me:
I do prefer the latest leak than this "final" one ... My touchwizz process just died and keeps on stopping, reboots will not fix it, had to install a new launcher temporarily to clear data on the TW launcher ...

downloading now XXLPJ which I found more reliable.
[Galaxy S II General] Kipp34:
Does anyone else get the "select input method" in the notification bar every time you start typing anything? I have swiftkey installed, and I uninstalled it and still get this notification.

When I access Language and Input in the settings menu, the Samsung keypad is greyed out as well (and I can't uncheck it).
[Galaxy S II General] stormtroopercs:
Its a new feature of ics I believe
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
Chainfire looks to have found a fix for the problem of not being able to install some apps.

Reflash his new cfroot kernel from his thread.
[Galaxy S II General] pigeldi:
Flashed yesterday over 2.3.6 with Siyah without any wipe, no problems.

I can't understand all the people complaining, system is generally much smoother, especially scrolling from one screen to another is way more fluid than in GB.

Battery also seems to be fine, 2% during the night.

For a first version of ICS I am totally satisfied so far.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
Did you guys solve the not locking problem? When phone awakes it bypasses every possible unlock option.... :/
[Galaxy S II General] Tallustus:
same problem here :(

also

anyone else got "<appname> halted" errors?

was using Omega ROM 3.1 before (4.0.3 LPH) and had no problems with it
[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
The main problem for me, with ICS, is the touch response sensitivity, although its ok, not really that bad, I have been used to using checkRom with syria kernel with sensitivity set to 5 or below.

This really does make a difference especially playing certain games.

I would say battery life is less than my perfect setup with Checkrom and syria, but not terrible, with ics I do like some of the widgets, email, google apps have all been improved, be it only slightly. Like the task switching scroll up and down thing, but its only really a nicety. I wouldn't say the overall experience was as smooth and fast as Checkrom with Syria, but then these roms and kernels have been in development for a lot longer.good start but I guess I'm not quite ready for ics just yet.
[Galaxy S II General] MemoryController:
Oh I should add I can now connect to eduroan using PEAP :)
[Galaxy S II General] reccaflare:
The first impression was great.. the smoothness is there.

But the battery consumption still doesn't satisfy me yet..

Hope any other developers would solve it the best.
[Galaxy S II General] -l-Z3K3-l-:
I have to admit I like ICS.

I don't seem to see half the problems your guys are having.

I like the new lock screen and call answer screen. Sick of the usual swipe to do everything you see on all phones.

As for the touchscreen response, well I've had an SGP Glas screen protector on for a while, and to be honest, thats ruined my expectation for an accurate screen anyway :)

I'm actually not sure why I leave it on
[Galaxy S II General] Cro0707:
Icons in status bar are ugly and all of them are not in the same style...

For instance, gMail and stock SMS app. They are different, not in the same style. Ugly icon for WiFi also.

It seams that some group of students created LPQ for Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] readon1:
Or just install the newest cf-root with the fix
[Galaxy S II General] andy j:
Ok so it has been nearly two day's and i was wondering if others have had simler bugs to me with the ICS official XXLPQ.

Well from stock 2.3.4 i did a full wipe before and after flashing the full Rom via Odin then flashed the cw pre root kernel, booted fine then seemed to hang when i open my contacts i thought no sweat first boots are always derpy so a restart later it happend again.

Next bug is the very poor scrolling (been discussed i don't need to explaine that).

Third bug was when i install LAST.FM all my calendar appointments where gone even though my calendars where still there and ticked, and at the same time listening to my music on the stock player all my tracks where skiping like mad.

Lastly not a bug but a plus my Barry lasts almost an extra 50% longer which was really nice as many others have had poor battery. If any others have had a similar bug with calendar please let me know.

But its a new Rom what do you expect also my phone is a white carrier free made in Dec 2011 if that helps.

I've decided to finally bite the bullet, rooted successfully and deleted my bloatware. If and when I upgrade to ICS UK officially, will it remove the root or not?
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Yes it will.

Use Odin Mobile to flash official stock 4.0.3 firmware from Sammobile. In this way you will keep root (Odin Mobile EverRoot). Then freeze bloatware :-)

Every time Samsung release updates (Official KIES) use Odin Mobile and keep rooted forever without the risk flashing around with custom kernels and rom's.

It's easy Odin Mobile XDA thread :)

Market link Odin Mobile
[Galaxy S II General] ultramic:
Does anyone else notice that the confirmation buttons have been reversed when you go to change a setting on the phone ? ie the cancel button is on the left while the confirm/ok button is on the right ?

Unless I have totally lost the plot, I'm pretty sure it was the other way around.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Yes ... already have pushed the wrong button a few times. Awkward :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] ultramic:
Yep, me too.

Any current fixes ? or I suppose we have to wait for the next official update and hope they fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] Idan73:
Nobody complains about scrolling of system apps. It is apps like xda developers and twitter and others that have that microlag often found on custom gingerbread kernels. Also lots of people make remarks 'scrolling like crazy'. Again that is not the problem. When you fling it like crazy, it does. Issue seems to be with light to medium flings (in this app for example - xda developers TapaTalk app) jerking all the time on medium swipes, not having any kinetic momentum on light swipes and as soon as you pass that threshold over medium swipe, interpreting it as hard and scrolling way more than any of us want. Like crazy lol!
[Galaxy S II General] aRc.:
So this thing downloads the latest firmware, installs and flashes for me and I don't lose my apps, files or settings? :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Do a scroll test on twitter & Facebook app.... laggggggg

Do the same on cm9, butter smooth.

Its definitely not an ICS bug, just Samsungs poor version.

Gingerbread (2.3.4 which i was on) is much faster & more importantly ....smoother than LPQ ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Fixed in DXLP7
[Galaxy S II General] dragon135:
Clock on the status bar disappeared when lockscreen (should be because the lock screen already has clock) and appeared when screen unlocked.

Somehow this is a bit annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] Canadoc:
Getting major wake locks here.

Seems to be from Exchange. Had over 30 min of wake locks in a 3 hour period leading to 4-5% /hour drain in standby.

Any idea how to fix?
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
There is a bit more to do first, but it's really easy.

1 - If your running 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 (not 3.2.6!) you first have to root your mobile.

This can be done in a VERY easy way.

Read this thread and you will understand how easy it is

Download, run and make root!

2 - Download the correct 4.0.3 firmware from Sammobile or elsewhere unzip and place *.md5 file on your SD card.

3 - Goto Market and spend 5-6$ buying Odin Mobile Pro (must be PRO version).

You can read all about it here

4 - Run Odin Mobile Pro, select the .md5 file placed on your SD card, check EverRoot but not wipe (if you want to keep apps and settings).

5 - When all done your apps and setting are keept and you have root :)

You will have to re-arrange Widgets and shortcuts on your home screen, but thats all. Some have had problems with Swype or Exchange eating battery. Search this and other threads to find the solution.

I did it exactly as described without any kind of problem and ICS is running perfect or even better than GB. Good battery, smooth and rooted.

And the good news is that whenever a new official firmware from Samsung (KIES) is released, you can flash it with Odin Mobile and always keep root :rolleyes: If you should ever want to go back to original stock GB 3.2.x you can do so using Odin Mobile Pro, and even remove root if you uncheck EverRoot before flashing.

!!! REMEMBER ... THIS IS A VERY SECURE WAY TO ROOT AND FLASH .... BUT THINGS CAN GO WRONG. DON'T BLAME ANYBODY BUT YOURSELF !!!

awful
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Not everyone wants small icons though.

I've tried Remix with 160 dpi and although I can see the appeal of having all that extra screen real estate, it wasn't the easiest to use on the go, and if you think stock SGS2 icons are big then you would HATE my current setup - but to me, its perfect, I don't need tiny icons on a phone, I need them to be easy to press.

Most people don't find it a problem. And if it is a problem, flash a ROM that supports multiple DPIs. Simples.
[Galaxy S II General] gchindi:
i second this...GB icon size is managable....it should be easily accessible on the move...u should not end up searching icons...
