Done multiple times (especially since getting too enthusiastic with disconnecting the adpater and reconnecting it locks up the phone)

Someone in another thread has suggested it could be a HDCP issue with my monitor :(
[Galaxy S II General] cc999:
Yes music hub is not there....

Exchange works perfectly, FINALLY, this was a must for me.

CC
[Galaxy S II General] Elemetrix:
I've seen this issue posted around, so was wondering if anyone had found a fix.

Both LPQ and LP7 have issues with some apps not seeing the file structure correctly, you have to unount the SD card in order to install/update them otherwise they think you have no space available..

Is this just an ICS compatibility issue with the apps or another Samsung bug?
[Galaxy S II General] newquaymarc:
all done n rooted

all done, updated to ics uk 3 seems to work ok apart from copilot keeps crashing.

rooted n all apps n data back on thru titanium.

think it works ok ish, will have to see
[Galaxy S II General] @home:
Is it out for UK Retail via Kies yet?
[Galaxy S II General] Ben77uk:
I've just sent a email via a SSL SMTP server without any problem

firmware is XXLPQ
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
havent seen anything yet, just ThreeUK seems to be the only carrier

GB vs ICS

with GB > my battery 3 days (setCPU with no problems)

with ICS > 1 day (I had to remove setCPU, because it was freezing whole my phone)

no thank you, going back to GB
[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:
That's a bit rash.. How long have you been running ICS ? Have you removed all the bloatware ( including samsung crap ) and checked what's taking all the power ?

After cleaning up I was able to get 3 days out of Polish LPQ.... Check what's taking the power before rashly reverting back to GB

Dmonty
[Galaxy S II General] strenkp:
before flash, I did full wipe. I`m using it from 14th of March (I have upgraded it on my birthday, I remember :P. so 6 days experience)

I have disabled samsung crap from running.

my wallpaper is black, lock screen is black.

just using phone, sms, gtalk and fb messanger + internet, camera and endomondo

battery goes off ... every 10 minutes is 1% down

I had same setup on GB and it was running for 3 days
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
Similar - mine drops 10%/hour! I switched to the LP6 modem yesterday, so I'll see if that helps.
[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:
Ok, I can see why you want to revert back, that's standard usage. Do you know what's taking the power ? Setting - Battery have a look in there, if it android itself, try turning off Settings - Sound - remove ticks from Touch sounds and screen lock sounds, that was draining for me, once the ticks were removed battery was superb... I'm getting better battery on this than on GB.

Dmonty
[Galaxy S II General] jingsoy:
i will just wait for the stable ics rom now that samsung released the ics kernel source
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
For me the major problem seems to be awake time - Settings -> Battery ->Android OS -> Keep awake is almost the same as total phone uptime.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Do you run stock ICS?

My experience is that SetCPU does not work at all unless you have a custom kernel supporting this? It is (and always will be) the same with stock GB if kernel doesn't support.

It doesn't matter if mobile is rooted ... its all depends on the kernel.

I might be wrong?
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Well I reset the phone but when I tried to restore the backup it failed. So now I've got all my images and music in this useless Kies archive file with no way of restoring it.

GG Samsung

Edit

It restored my files, contacts and stuff, just not certain other things.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Looks like Voda, Orange, T-mobile will get Official 2morrow. Un-branded phones will come Thursday. Not happy with Samsung. I was gonna wait for my warranty to finish before i started trying different roms but not after Samsung has decided to leave un-branded handsets till last... Going to wait for CM rom now.
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Is there a way to force reflashing of firmware in Kies? I want to make sure it's a clean install without using 3rd party apps or flashing a lower version
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
How do you know this?
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
Where did you get that information from?:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:
Dan :

Try removing the sound setting, it's worth a try and it's know to drain the battery a bit

Here something from another thread :

Followed this http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/SGSII-ICS-CRS and yesterday 3 was updating and all other carriers were pending and today 3 is available and all carriers are updating. They done the same move with GB, so i think its safe to think that they will keep the same format. Samsung wont release all the roms at the same time cause it will bog down the servers with everyone trying to upgrade at the same time.
[Galaxy S II General] :
That says UK Unlocked updating and Europe pending but they are both XEU ??
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Its been saying un-locked updating sinse last week dude. I think its safe to say Samsung wont release all uk carriers and un-locked handsets on the sameday.. you're talking about 500,000+ phones updating from kies on one day that would crash their severs.. And as i said they done the same move with GB, un-locked was last the get updates.:(

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

If you look on that site http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/SGSII-ICS-CRS you'll notice that they started pushing roms on the 13th. So excluded the weekend they have only been push 4 regions per day and still got plenty left to go.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

According to one of the software engineers on yourmobile un-locked handsets will come next week..

Josephws, Software Engineer & Tech Blogger - YouMobile AdministratorCollapse

UK unlocked is expected Next week.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Why do Samsung leave unlocked last? I mean, the excuse for operators was they had to put bloatware on, What the excuse for this?
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
Remove the bloatware the operators put on :p:D At least you're getting an update. We don't even featured on the card... That didn't stop me running ICS now though :D
[Galaxy S II General] tezoide:
OK, so this means that even a stable custom mod (like cyanogenmod 9) could come out before the the official unbranded version for the UK. Pathetic.:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Guess so..:confused: Looks like my next handset will be branded.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Money..... There are probably getting more cash from the operators then they are from us.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Don't forget that before ICS XEU SGS2 was left on 2.3.4 while all others moved on to 2.3.6 or even 2.3.7
[Galaxy S II General] Sizuke:
That's it, im buying a iPhone!
[Galaxy S II General] GregX80:
I have the same problem here
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
I expect the carriers want theirs to be released first to minimise the number of people who 'hack/flash' the unlocked version without their branding... for a lot of non root people, they will be happy with the branded firmware, but given the choice they may opt away from it rather than wait... just my thoughts on it...
[Galaxy S II General] Cristiano Matos:
Some say that it is placebo effect. Try to use a NEW siyah kernel. Only for stock ICS Samsung roms.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Apperently you can flash the iphone 4s with ICS using Apple Kies or Samsung itunes. :p

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Possibly... What ever the reason i don't think its right. Most of the branded handsets are free or priced cheap, but we pay good money for our handsets and should be given priority. but that's my opinion.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Guys I'm sick of these Samsung ROMs so I'm going to develop an AOSP ROM built from source with all stock look and feel so it can be same as the Galaxy Nexus. Gonna start on the project from tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
I'd love a Vanilla type ICS ROM
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
If you do, you will go down in history as one of the all time legends....A place along side Einstein, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Kevin Bacon...

A true Knight, defending the realm of the mere S2 user from the evil tyranny of the Samsung minions.. :D

Pleaaaaase do this though, we need a good Nexus esque stock rom.. and the workarounds at the mo are not really good enough :-(...
[Galaxy S II General] [PhOeNiX]:
wow!

would be interesting if you can share with us what steps are necessary to do something similar!

:D :D :D
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
As my Spring break is started in a few days i will have plenty of time for this project and I'm also learning GIT from Netchip so that I can open source my work. Biggest thanks will go to TeamHacksung because without them nothing from source is even possible.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
@faryaab

well if you need a tester, give me a shout - love to get a AOSP rom on this
[Galaxy S II General] Kronkels:
Are you going to port ICS 4.0.4 from Nexus to S2???
[Galaxy S II General] GregX80:
Is it Siyah compatible with android 4? Anyway I was on Siyah, speedmod, phenomenal, checkrom, lighting Rom, simple&clean and many others. I would like to be on stock one too if u don't mind :-). I didn't pay for a bugy phone on ****droid 4.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
It will not be a port of Galaxy Nexus ROM but a ROM built from Google's Sources so everything will be from scratch except the device files.
[Galaxy S II General] sohell:
I thought there were lots of AOSP type ROMs already? CM9? AOKP? Or am I wrong??
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
There are and they are one of the best ones too but I'm going to make a ROM with pure AOSP experience like if its a stock 4.0.3 ROM of the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] Kronkels:
Can't wait to see your ROM build appear on XDA :)

Will keep my eyes on this topic as a hawk.

in advance thanks for all your work

F1 Innovation HD - F1 Galaxy S II | F1 Innovation HD (Work In Progress!) | F1 Innovation HD (Coming Soon!) | AOSP-Nexus Galaxy S2(Coming Soon!)

:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Actually can't wait for this, Just what we need.
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
Sorry for the stupid question but will such a ROM mess up the counter or ,since it will be as stock as possible, it will slide under the radar? :)

Gotta keep the warranty as I had my fair share of issues and trips back to the store when I first got the phone :D
[Galaxy S II General] Guinhu:
:eek: Ohh this sounds exciting... Can't wait to put my hands on it i!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/ghfv17

Samsung just Tweeted.

My reply.
[Galaxy S II General] Guinhu:
Damnyou Samsung.. this is starting to get annoying!! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Good luck with the development. The main downside of unmodified AOSP for me is the lack of quick toggles in the notification bar.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I might have an Idea for that too. ;) As I can't live without them myself but no promises for now.
[Galaxy S II General] MacDrunk:
naa just wait for the room to setle that happend to me as well and now is working fine by the way im on LPE from norht america trinidad y tonago
[Galaxy S II General] Vertigo1206:
If you are really building this ROM you are my new Hero :D

I like the Hardeware ofth SGS2 but the firmware and the update policy - horrible

I am really thinking about changing from SGS2 to Galaxy Nexus.

...but if you can buildsuch a ROM I can stay at the SGS2 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] john94si:
Does this work on skyrockets
[Galaxy S II General] elishnevsky:
Just wanted to share my experience. About an hour ago flashed my Bell Canada SGS2 with I9100XXLPQ. Before I had stock ROM from Bell with a rooted CF kernel. All went perfectly well, no issues :)
[Galaxy S II General] walie:
Skyrocket: I727

Galaxy S II: I9100

Hopefully that's enough information for you to figure it out.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Right...so I've been on lpq

Think is now my csc's are all to ****...

Anyway, can i get this back to UK so that kies plays nice again.

Sorry To go a bit off topic...but we are still waiting for the UK ics unbranded rollout so thought id get my question in
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Should have gone with lp7. :D
[Galaxy S II General] SofieVervoort:
Folders

Flashed it a few days ago, works like a charm, except for some lagging when opening my contacts...

Just one question: when I create folders, they are all called 'Map', so now I have 7 folders, Map 1, Map 2, Map 3... etc Does anyone know whether it's possible to rename them? Cuz I never know which folder I'm opening when I look for one specific app... :(
[Galaxy S II General] QuboidRC:
XXLPQ? DXLP7? XEO? XSE?

I would like to upgrade my SGS2 to ICS but I have absolutely no idea what firmware I should be using or how to upgrade. I've used Odin before and rooted my phone but I'm utterly lost with ICS. I have an SGS2 unbranded/unlocked, bought and used in the UK. Kies/OTA don't have any update.
[Galaxy S II General] kersh1:
RE: Camera & Gallery 'Media Scanner Running' crash

Nope :( Still broken. Why Meeeeeee. I've got an Adata 32GB class10 micro SDHC, so that should be OK. Any more guesses before I re-flash..again...

I'm on LPQ from OP. Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
Im on the same firmware as you...

I had this ... Disabled that stuff n was ok.

Also made sure i opened Google play and apps updated...not had this problem since...

Although i also use quickpic as my default gallery now...just incase anymore issues
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Guys, I give up, want to get back to GB, I have read that this causes data partitions to get fried. Any advice on what is the best approach to do it? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] stenc55:
Not working. Same error.

[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
No I9100G is not supported!
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Just to be sure, Do I do anything with the SS_DL.dll inside the zip?

And if I flash this will I be left with a yellow triangle at boot?
[Galaxy S II General] tolgapaksoy:
Went from XXLPH to XXLPQ. I noticed one thing in particular. The touchscreen from LPQ is HORRIBLE. When scrolling in the browser, it accelerates suddenly, resulting in entire page scrolling while I wasn't even scrolling fast.

The pro-side of this ROM is I can download things to SD-card from Market again.

Edit: I installed Chrome Beta 1.1 and it works just as it should work on the Galaxy Nexus. Awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] MasselMillerM:
3-Part Version

hey,

anyone made a 3-Part Version out of it? thx;)
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
You don't need to do anything to the SS_DL.dll file. No Yellow Triangle will not appear as this is a Official firmware.

Have the tar and Odin3 v1.30 but fails to connect to serial port :s
[Galaxy S II General] mathsmart:
everything work like a charm EVEN MULTI DPI !

go in root explorer

2:click mount R/W

3:go in system folder and find build.prop

4:long press the file and open it in text editor

5:find de line ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (change 240 for the number you'd like to try)192 for me

5:go down a bit and find for the similar line ( ro.sf.lcd_density=240) again replace 240 with the same number you put at the other line

click back back and click yes to save the change recheck mount R/0 before closing root explorer and thats it

reboot and that it !

for you guys having trouble with odin just download mobile odin it will take care of yellow triangle, root your device at the same thing and its just cost 5$ ! that's cheap and save you lot of trouble with connectivity and your crappy computer that may broke your phone ! you just need it to extract the TAR file and reupload it to your phone and select it in mobile odin !
[Galaxy S II General] Kodon:
Ah ok, i thought so but i wanted to hear it from someone else.

I'm wondering if theres a special section for the i9100g here on xda ? a friend of mine bought a i9100g yesterday. well, she isn't interested on rom flashing or root but i wanted to know if samsung is rolling out for both models or just for one since both are sold as "Samsung Galaxy S2".

it seems that there are no normal i9100's avaible in germany anymore. even on amazon.de i only found the i9100g.

Problem with rooting SGS2 runnig ICS

Hi

I upgraded to ICS using the official build given my chainfire.

Tried to root using CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5 ,odin process of successfull but cannot boot the phone. Stuck at the screen with Yellow triangle.

Please help.
[Galaxy S II General] neo1ite:
Will there be any harm in putting this version on a UK sim free phone?
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Wait until official firmware using KIES ...

or ...

1. Root using DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit

2. Buy Odin Mobile Pro from Google Play

3. Flash official ICS I9100XXLPQ Ireland from Sammobile and keep rooted (EverRoot)

Easy way to do it :)
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
- Tap the folder so that it opens.

- Press and hold the bar at the top, with the folder's name (press somewhere other than on the X)

- Rename your folder in the pop-up screen.

[Galaxy S II General] broom2_3rd:
From GB TO ICS 4.0.3 (DXLP7 and XXLPQ) back to GB again.:(

Here's my reasons:

1. The stock ICS 4.0.3 that Samsung released is unstable. I think they have just released ICS for SGS2 for the expectancy sake of the consumers.

2. ICS has delay in response compared to GB. Interface wise, ICS is great but performance, i am happy with GB as of now.

3. ICS i think is not compatible with most of the root apps like setCPU and adfree....

4. When rooted and downloaded with root apps, the system crashes and boots frequently.

...
[Galaxy S II General] JakeHon:
Hey, Just wondering if this firmware would work in the I9100P? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] yulaws:
If the apps crash then its app developers job to make the app compatible to ics. Personally i dont like touchwhiz on ics, its too old school and boring. Samsung should have changed the icons and colors of touchwhiz if they didnt want to get rid of it. Reminds me of ****ty apple and their same theme layout over and over again on every ios update lol
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
1. I flashed the LP7 on here on the day it was posted on here. The phone runs sweetly. I did not wipe. A couple of my apps had to be uninstalled and installed again to stop a Force Close. Apart form that, there has not been a problem with it running on the phone. I did have to flash the LP6 Radio ROM just because of battery consumption.

If they just released it in a rush to meet expectations of users, well they certainly took their time with the rush.

2. I have not noticed any delay compared to Gingerbread.

3. There will always be apps that are not compatable with the new operating system. No doubt the developers will soon have an ICS version update soon (if not already).

4. I used Mobile Odin to flash the ROM, so I never lost root. Root Call Blocker was one of the two programs that had to be reinstalled. Other root apps have worked without problem. Apart from the phone going off for flashing, my phone had been on without any reboots. There have been no system crashes. The only problem was a couple of forced closes (already mentioned).

Maybe I was just lucky.
[Galaxy S II General] Jricardogil:
What do you think about the battery life with the new rom?

I think it's not so good.

I start use it at the morning and at 5:00 - 6:00 pm I have like 20%.

And I use it regular not so often just for whatsapp and sometimes facebook.
[Galaxy S II General] mightyox:
+1... same here back to GB.

[Galaxy S II General] gsuh54:
I've tried LPQ and LP7 and they both eat the battery pretty fast. Start the day at 0700 with 100% and by 1700 it's down to about 40-50%. I don't even do anything except check mail, stocks, and play around in a few apps. I've had better battery usage with LPH. With LPH I would be at about 70-80% by 1700.
[Galaxy S II General] DMac93:
I've installed LP7 and was very happy with just about everything (coming from CM9) my only complaint is the Bluetooth connection isn't the greatest in the car.

I missed CM9 so I'm now back on the nightlies but am having a few issues;

- calendars aren't working with 3rd party. I get the 'no calendar selected'

- I assumed video camera would be working just due to the release of ICS.

- email and exchange errors popping up on boot

Bluetooth is working perfectly again.
[Galaxy S II General] elquango:
OK ive just formatted my phone and restored everything with titanium backup.

it was fine until i activated my set cpu. apparently ICS doesnt like underclocking to 800mhz. it becomes very sluggish. i upped it and the phone seems to be fine. no crashes so far.

bit annoying that i cant squeeze a little more juice out of the phone but at least i dont need to downgrade now

battery life still seems to be pap though
[Galaxy S II General] elishnevsky:
Why? What is the difference?
[Galaxy S II General] ioddrine:
Nobody?

is really nobody using GoSMS?

The recipient is receiving the same message twice. i did a wipe before and after flashing LPQ, and no restore. can anyone confirm or infirm this on his phone?

the question has been asked before by somebody else but no one replied.:(
[Galaxy S II General] DMac93:
It's the apps fault. We'll have to wait until Go fixes the compatibility issue.
[Galaxy S II General] droid_1989:
F***** up my phone a little.

Going to flash the ICS stuff, however I can't seem to find a link to an unsecure kernel for LPQ?

It's confusing me because I can see stock, but nothing that says "unsecure kernel" next to it.

Any help?

Will I be fine upgrading this to any of the firmwares above considering I have a Bell Canada SGS II? Currently I'm on LPB.
