So you flashed an ICS firmware (4.0.3) already. Flash to a 2.3.6 firmware if your want Kies to update it to ICS for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolstory:
So if i have current version (ICS) this is the same as i would update it by kies ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
*sigh*

My point here, was you have to be precise on model numbers.

GT-I9100 is not the same as GT-I9100G, is not the same as GT-I9100P, is not the same as GT-I9100T.

I9100G cannot use the same firmwares as any of the other three.

I9100P can use I9100 firmwares, but will lose NFC if you do (unless you re-enable it via a mod)

I9100T can use I9100 firmwares, but will probably have to flash a modem optimized for Tesltra to get good signal afterwards.

If you start telling people you have an "SGH-I9100", no one will know what you have, or be able to help you.

Probably, yes.

Better than a sharp stick in the eye, but the enthusiasm should be tempered by this part:

"...but the reality is that individual networks also need to approve the software updates and put it through vigorous in-house testing to ensure it plays nicely with their own branded software, meaning that although the official update button is pushed it could still be quite some time before users can benefit from it."

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PentagonVS:
I am not sure how exactly to search for or find this specific feature when searching the android market for an audio player.

What I am looking for is an audio player that keeps track of the current position of the audio file being played, in a specific album, so that I can continue playing from there the next time I open that album. It should allow me to switch between albums, and keep and restore to the last track played for each album (or playlist). It should obviously also remember this for when I close and reopen the player.

Is anyone aware of such a audio player?

Thanks for the help

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monarhs:
Hello!

The story begins with my defective camera - it had the stuttering/lag problem when i was making 1080p and 720p videos, so i took my phone to the shop where i bought it, they sent it to make investigation. Few days later they called me and approved the issue that the camera is defective. Right after they called me i went to the shop to get the new phone, but they said that the WHITE one is out of stock right now so i had to wait 3 days. After talking some time to the seller, I achieved that i will be able to open as many new phone boxes as i like till i get phone with the correct firmware (ofc i will have to turn it on and check the F/W)..

I know that the best one out there is OMEF01, but it will be a small chance that ill get precisely this one F/W..

The worst one is SCEF02 that i had on my old phone and the videos were very bad, cuz of the stuttering problem..

So now my question to u all is: WHICH are the best F/W for SGS2 i9100 that doesnt make LAGS while taking videos at 1080p and 720p quality? Are there any other except OMEF01?

I know there are many discussions about cameras, but i havent seen one, where all the camera F/W of SGS2 are in the same thread, and i believe that those mentioned before arent the only ones that are out there..

So this thread could show and give information to all SGS2 users about the bad and good F/W.

Lets start it like this:

OMEF01 - no lag problems (while making 720p and 1080p videos), some got pink spot;

SCEF02 - stutters (FPS drop on low light conditions), got pink spot;

...

Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] The_Genius:
I use Insert Coin 5.1.1, "Rom Cleaned" with LBE security. With heavy usage (2h music, 1h calls, 1h internet + screen) I can get minimum 14 hours. Same battery on GB stock rom 4h.

When I have fully charged battery on Friday afternoon, during the weekend (only have few phone calls, a little bit wifi) I plug it in at work on Monday with 15-20% left.

I have stock battery.

i have IC 5.1.4 and the battery life his horrible when im using my phone, but during school i underclock to 1.02ghz max turn power saver on and data off and itll last... also have stock battery with 1.5ghz kernel
[HTC Sensation] jog21:
With ARHD 6.5.1, Sebastian's kernel and 1900 mA anker battery I can do 3 days of light usage, 2 of mid ones and of course 1 of heavy.
[HTC Sensation] baste07:
ARHD works for about 1.5 days moderate use and 3.5 days on minimal use.

i've never liked a custom kernel, it always eats up my battery faster than stock (based from my experience) even undervolting doesn't make it last longer.
[HTC Sensation] rickyiswhite:
Highly agree with custom kernels eating up the battery

[HTC Sensation] philje123:
ARHD 6.5.1 battery life is very good.

I am now outlasting my partners iPhone 3GS with heavier use!

I can go a full day and still have 40-50% remaining.

Also there is no need to overclock. I use no frills cpu set to 192 min and 972 max. Very smooth and fast.

[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
I don't understand how you guys are getting such excellent battery life on a Sense rom because I only get those numbers when I'm on Senseless. I guess I just have to try harder :(
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
Not sure.

All I can suggest is that you:

Make sure you are on correct radio/RIL

Super wipe

Reflash ROM

Use no-frills cpu and underclock to 972 max 192 min

Disable always on mobile data

Enjoy your phone

I have brightness set to auto. I have unlimited data so rarely use wifi.

Still on 100% from unplugging at 6:30 this morning.

[HTC Sensation] GladiatoRiley:

Maybe it has something to do with your 1.7GHz OC...

I have very limited data allowance [it's 50MB PAYG for what it's worth, like 1.50 in GBP] and I don't go out much so I just use WiFi at school and home. Radio is on 3.32 although I'm not sure about my RIL. And also I always enjoy my phone.

Always

:p

EDIT: RIL is HTC-RIL 4.0.0013HMQ. I always use Kohr-ah's stuff so I'm pretty sure that this was included it the 3.32FW i got from the thread.

Um I haven't updated my sig in a while. I'm stock everything on VI 4.0.0 and SetCPU 648-972 ondemand.
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
There you have it!

You have your CPU set to a minimum of 648 mhz so it will never go any slower than 648 mhz.

I have mine set to the lowest (192 mhz) so that when it's not needed the CPU can run as low as 192 mhz.

Well I already have a profile for screen off. 192-486MHz. Should I still lower it?

[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
So I have UK GSM EVO 3D, and whilst I know that all my previous phones have 'roamed' in the USA, obviously that would get VERY expensive very fast. Can you buy SIM cards in the states from AT&T etc so I can use my UK phone over there without a massive bill? (I realise I won't get 4G)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Yup!

Assuming your device supports the same GSM freq as either TMO or ATT, you'd be able to buy no contract SIMs. Generally, TMO prices are cheaper than ATT, but you can visit their web sites to see their No Contract plans.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
Yup! Excellent, thank you very much :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Also, as an after thought, there are some cheaper third party retailers for no contract SIMs which operate on the same networks as TMO and ATT.

Simple mobile seems to be popular and very affordable. I think they're mostly on the TMO network.

H20 is also another option. I think H2O is mostly on ATT network.

Also, Straight Talk seems to be affordable and might provide SIMs for both ATT and TMO networks ...

Hope that helps add another altnerative to the two larger provides which might not price as competitively.
[HTC EVO 3D] Scougar:
yes actually that's really great :-) In the UK we have 3rd party operators as well, and the best by far is 'giff gaff' which is unlimited internet and calls/texts for about £10 a month. Insane :-)

Blimey... those prices are nuts in the USA!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
H2O wireless is great. Uses ATTs towers with tmobiles prices. Even cheaper in my opinion.

Hi all,

Can I still get OTA updates for ICS on my rooted sensation xe ? or should I have to unroot my phone to receive OTA updates ?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] jblz:
Also wondering this.

My phone is not yet rooted because I need to know - assuming the phone is rooted and unlocked - when updating from stock 2.3.3 to ICS (OTA) will this affect the rooting or being unlocked?
[HTC Sensation] IceCookies:
From what I've heard, you require an unrooted phone and a completely Stock ROM to successfully install the official updates from HTC. I may be wrong though.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
You need a stock ROM, get this via flashing an RUU. I don't know the exact steps but there's been quite a few similar threads where others have outlined what you need to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Hey guys, I've got kinda a two parter question..

The first is this, do you think the SGS2 will be able to keep up as a leading Android phone or at least pretty high end for another year or two? Also will development keep up for much longer? Or would it be more logical to wait for the SGS3 and go for that?

And, assuming it would stay active and strong, do you think the price would drop once the SGS3 comes out dramatically? As in is it worth getting it now or should I wait for the SGS3 one way or the other.

Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby21:
The hardware of the sgs II is pretty nice. As you can see, the xperia s and the new htc smartphones (one s, one x) got sgs II-hardware.

This means our lovely galaxy will stay at top of all for at least a few more month. Then the sgs III will be released.

Thanks to apples 4s, htc one s x and the xperia s the sgs II is nowhere near being outdated.

One more thing, 4.3 inch is the limit for me! I dont see why people would buy the sgs III with a 4.65 inch display.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
thats true haha, the size is the thing that worries me... however the screen covers more of the front so im thinking the actual SIZE of the phone won`t be that much greater :P

I can get a rooted with ICS installed SGS2 for 400$... is that good you think? :P

the only thing pulling me to SGS3 is how much longer itll probably last than the SGS2 just being released over a year later... but price worries me of it too since people are guessing over 800 and thats too much for me :S
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Also would be nice for continued dev support :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamKilo:
Try and get it cheaper without root and ICS as you can apply both of those yourself with all the guides available here. I'm not sure what the selling price is for the gs2 is in $, so the price you quoted could be cheap as it is lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Yeah no they're all around 400$ give or take 25, all i would need is to make sure that the screen has NO scratches and that it works XD the root and ICS was just a bonus haha :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamKilo:
I'm guessing it's probably best to get a phone that hasn't been flashed or altered. At least that way you'll know the original firmwares etc of the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
That's a good point... :P less risky. My main thing is, is the SGS3 gonna be worth the 2 month+ wait and the extra like 300$+... waiting isn't a big deal, 300-400 dollars is XD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucidox:
Pretty much in the same boat as you. My contract with Sprint will be up this Summer, so looking into a GS3 (or other quadcore handset). I've heard the GS3 may launch next month in England, though not sure about the rest of the world. I've read conflicting reports on whether there will be a unified global launch, so it's possible N. America will have to wait until Fall again.

Another thing to note is that while Tegra 3 is benchmarking better than all the dual core ARM processors out there, it performs really poorly compared to Apple's A5X chip. Given this, it's probably not a stretch that SG3's Exynos 3 will outperform it as well. There's also Snapdragon, though that isn't expected until Q4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LNJ:
That's probably because the iPad 3 has a quad core gpu. Plus you have to remember Tegra 3 was already late to the game. It was supposed to be out last summer but as usual Nvidia can never deliver anything on time!

Also no apps seem to be using more than 2 cores. Most are only utilizing 1.

The quad Exynos will only come close to the A5X gpu performance if they use at least a dual core Mali 600.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
One of the main reasons im considering the SGS3 is cause i think that android and apps are starting to become optimized for more than single core.

For me though the main selling point isn't actually the GPU, but rather the huge battery (anything over 2k is awesome!) and the tons of RAM, nice internal storage, SD card, and if this phone is any indication, probably good dev support :) I would get the HTC One S if it werent for the no SD card and pretty small battery :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucidox:
Really? That's unfortunate. I thought ICS automated much of this, though I suppose it makes sense that each developer would need to add support from their end.

I know. The Nexus Prime has that issue as well. I'd imagine flashing ROMs would be unnecessarily complicated, since they have one giant partition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
I'm not so sure about that, i think it wouldn't cause too much trouble, but the thing is with 16 gb of internal memory, after ICS and sense and bloat, that'll leave probably less than 10gb of actually usable memory :( which is too little for me in the long run :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LNJ:
I believe it is up to the developer. Same as hardware acceleration.

Hell even Adobe Photoshop only used a single core all the way up to CS5.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamSnah:
I would just go for the S2 as soon as the retailers in your area starts to sell them out cheap (to get rid of stock before launch of S3).

It's a great phone, still getting updates from Samsung - resulting in great mods from the XDA community.

And when the time comes that you'll be needing more power, just overclock it - extending the lifetime of it (for your use, NOT the phone itself).

IamSnah
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Yeah that was definitely one of things I was considering, IF the price drops by saaay.. 30%? Bring it from 600 to 400 new, I think I could go for that. But if the SGS3 is less than 800 its definitely in my radar :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amphlett:
This sounds very much like the deliberation I have when buying any new piece of tech, such as a laptop, always looking for the next new thing and wondering whether to wait or take the plunge now.

I would vote for an SGS2. It's a super phone with a massive modding community behind it to at least push it for another 1.5 to 2 years. I've had mine since July of last year and I'm only now seeing other phones catching up so you certainly would be behind the times with an SGS2.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
First post in the correct section which would be Q&A.

Second do you still have those wakelocks after a factory reset and reflashing the rom without the kernel?

If not then flash the kernel. If everything is fine until now it was either a random bug or a missbehaving app.

Media scanning.

Just run the stock CM9 kernel already.

Is there a way I can get it to be as smooth by changing something in the performance tab? Any setting recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
definitely "media scanning" is the cause of your battery drain.. i dont even have that in my battery history so I'm not sure how to approach this.

best thing I could say is that try another kernel or ROM and see if the problem persists..... or view the thread of your perspective ROM / kernel and search to see if anyone has a similar problem.
