You can also follow @SGS2Update or look for hashtag #SGS2_Upd_Checker on Twitter. It checks updates for 212 fw versions (https://sites.google.com/site/rizandroid/) every 6 minutes and tweets if there is a new update. If there is a new firmware you can either install it via Kies or download it directly from Samsung FUS (Firmware Update Server) using Check Fus Downloader (http://fus.nanzen.se/)

I tried the wannalite XWLP4, but it kept overheating the phone. Sygic did not work in it properly, it did not close but it also did not enter the program correctly, stopped at a blank screen.

I went back to 2.3.5 (nandroid backup), I'll try a wiped install of the XWLP4 in this thread once the phone is back to 100% charge.

Mod Version CyanoGenMod-7.1.0-GalaxyS2

Build Number GWK74

Forgive me if this has been mentioned somewhere in the post but there is so much information it is a bit hard to filter through it all, even with the search.

I was curious if it would be possible to use any of these ICS updates on my phone. I live in Canada and I'm fairly positive our providers (Rogers, Bell and Telus) have not received an official update yet.

I've been having some serious battery problems as well as a few others and I've been holding out doing anything about it until I can just update to ICS.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
there are 2 possibilities.. 1. that this excuse is absolute bull****, because it makes no logical sense.. or 2. that samsung have a completely retarded and in fact unbelievable development process. Let me elaborate.

IF, they are waiting for all carriers to test the ROM, this implies that the unbranded ROM will contain a 'Universal' modem that will work equally on all carriers.

SO, as a company who wants to maximise efficiency and keep costs down, does it make sense to produce many Modems for each carrier and then recombine.. ORRRR to gather correct specifications from each carrier in advance and design the Universal ROM in the first place.. SINCE you will be doing this as they have said anyway before they release the unbranded ROM.. it makes literally no sense at all... I CALL BULL****...

Also, I might point out that other regions have unbranded ROMs already.. that most people have tried these different ROMs on a variety of networks with no connectivity problems.. I think this is a case of PR back pedalling and blatent lies which are easier to say than:

"Yea we screwed up, we have a much bigger financial interest with our large contracts with the network providers, that with individual off network customers. We prioritised the big bucks.. sorry.. and yes, our development, and in market beta test approach stinks.. but don't be angry, everyone else does it too"
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
You've got the wrong flag flying there mate... just saying

I'm on Bell's network and I've been running the stock ICS 4.0.3 (first LPQ and now LP3). I've never had any issues with LP3. I flashed over a stock 2.3.5 with LP3 (the Frankenstein version -- O2 without the branding) without a wipe and everything is good. From what I've read LP4 looks good too.

If you wait for Bell to provide an OTA update you may be waiting for a very long time.
[Galaxy S II General] Drutt:
Yep, it's as I thought. The networks have probably felt cheated in the past when sim free got updates before them, so now have signed contracts with a clause saying that they will get the ROMs first.

It's all about who pays the most, and that isn't the Sim Free buying public. Next we will be seeing phones released exclusively on networks, weeks before Sim free.
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
Vodafone, you may recall ****ed up with FROYO release with the old HTC Desire... I had an unbranded Legend.. we got shafted in exactly the same way.. BUT, it was common knowledge that a deal was done with HTC so Voda would get the Legend update BEFORE anyone else.

To think that exclusivity clauses aren't being worked into these contracts is naive. Like you say, it's only a matter of time before even more disequilibria of phones and firmware creeps in. Infact, handset exclusivity for certain carriers already exists anyway. The Iphone being the most extreme example....

@Alsug

I'm on Bell and I've successfully installed ICS. Love it EXCEPT I get terrible battery use.

"ANDROID OS" is sucking my battery dry. I even did a wipe and left my phone bare with no extra apps installed. Android OS is still the culprit. When I go back to GB, Android OS is not an issue re: battery life. Tried betterbatterystats but still can't get to the root of the problem.

Am I the only one with this issue???
[Galaxy S II General] Barely Running:
If I'm using the phone indoors I turn screen down to the lowest setting. I set up my WiFi so that it is only on when the screen is lit. I also turn off GPS and Sync when I retire the phone to my pocket. I get an extra day of use by doing this.
[Galaxy S II General] Alsug:
Haha, the flag is right. I've live in Canada for the past 6 years but sadly, I am from the states.

Sometime it freezes in camera.does this problem exists in newer roms?

Which one has scrolling similar to GB?

Honestly these newer builds don't improve much..

Some have said things are smoother.. but I've only noticed a real difference with a custom kernel like siyah or neak

battery performance

For the people that have a battery issus, i think that the CF-Root is the problem ande old ICS. Now, i have LP4 (Luxembourg) and the battery is amazing in deep sleep. I rooted with this method :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

First i had GB, next i had the first version of official ICS Lpq (poland) but inmediatly of upgrade i rooted by CF-root, but the battery performace was very poor. later i change the kernel for the official and i noticed a very little improvement

is I9100MAXLP5

same as lps, lp4?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
lets be honest, all the releases have basically been the same...

same issues

same compalints

this LPD has a build date of 18th March - the LP4 had a build date of 26th March, if anything was going to be fixed it would've in the 26th March Version.

LPD is carrier branded, so the modem MAY be different.. (i havent had the chance to check) which MAY improve signal

but dont expect scrolling to improved, touch screen response etc.

if it is fantastic, but at the moment, the best ics experience is custom roms/kernels

there is very LITTLE differences between LPQ and LP4

its really hard to go looking for them.

people have reported various things..

touchscreen response has improved (apparently)

scrolling (marginally)

you seriously need to try it yourself - its no wipe, so is ok to upgrade,

but get a customer kernel, i.e NEAK or Siyah!

[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Indeed.

I do not like the feel of the ICS builds.. they feel really sloppy compared to GB's tightness in scrolling sideways and down in some menus like settings for example, I'm currently trying a few CUSTOM ICS ROMS with Triangle Away handy :) too see if there's one there that can substitute :)

Used LP3, has a lot of bugs/problems: freeze, crashes, WiFi sometimes not working, 3G+ and H+ very slow, laggy scroll, wake-up has delay, the phone is not as responsive as it was in GB, poor battery life, etc...

Used LP4, same bugs/problems and on top of that it has qwertz keyboard and can't change that. You must do all sorts of mumbo-jumbo to switch to qwerty keyboard.

I think i'm going back to GB. Way better and stable.

All my installs were done with full wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] ricnar456:
I'm happy with LP4 no freezes no restarts works perfect, i have qwerty keyboard, maybe the users with problems need wipe completely when install and don't use titanium, lp4 LUX work perfect without bugs.

[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
My SGS2 was initially COA. I converted it to DBT. There is no 4.0.3 for DBT directly, so I am using the XEO which has Multi-CSC with DBT to avoid a wipe. I upgraded from LA4 (2.3.6) pure DBT to LPQ XEO (CSC=DBT) with no wipe. No reconfiguration. I lost, I think, the bluetooth devices.

I now updated to LPS XEO (still CSC=DBT) so no wipe. All is working fine. I can now turn off the WiFi and after 3G data useage, I can turn it back on instantly. Which was a bug with LPQ. So I'm happy.

But definitely waiting for a pure DBT version so that Kies stops complaining that my phone can't be updated. Odin works nicely, though!
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
Its just crap. The eastern europe firmware is just pure buggy and laggy.

Also the reason samsung is delaying the open ICS for galaxy is that they are waiting for the carriers to report back any bugs they might be having as they want to make sure the Open ICS works properly with any networks one released.
