I don't know the technical side, but I'm coming to the conclusion the issue is to do with how the background processes, like updating exchange accounts, checking for software updates etc run... I've hardly used my phone in the last 18 hours, and it is down to 35% charge... when I look at the stats, over night, the screen shows as off but the phone as having periods of 'awake' every 15-30 mins... Now I may be wrong, but I was pretty sure under GB, even if your exchange was set to sync regularly if the phone was asleep (unless push messages enabled).. it would not keep checking for updates and would just check the next time the phone was woken up....

I'm now, for the next charge cycle going to disable all options relating to checking for updates on my email accounts and if i can find them, auto checks for software updates and see if the phone actually sleeps over night properly... You could try the same I guess.. If there are any devs though who know I'm making false assumptions please let me know so I don't waste my time checking this out :-)

If you have an i9100 (without the T on the end), then the Euro rom is just fine as is. The Euro hardware is identical. (i9100). These are the Optus, Virgin, and Unbranded versions you buy from non-carrier stores.

If you have a Telstra or Vodafone i9100T, then it's slightly different and is best to have a different modem file appropriate for that hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] Rooster19:
I've got the Optus i9100. So I'm all good just to use that then? No difference?
[Galaxy S II General] Iskorptix:
Can anyone provide info how to upgrade or even downgrade from this LPQ release ? I really don't like it, but flashing other roms fails :/
[Galaxy S II General] Rooster19:
Don't know if I'm right but have you tried flashing a stock rom?
[Galaxy S II General] Iskorptix:
Not yet Sir, but going to do that now!
[Galaxy S II General] shnoz:
Using a Euro update is fine.

There's no way of knowing what differences will be in the Optus release ... they may release a different build which could be more reliable for all we know. We'll have to wait and see.

So these official roms that are floating about, are these gonna be the same as released in the UK on 19th?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I don't think so as these final builds also have some bugs in them. We UK users might get a new build instead.

I have tried both LPQ and LP7 and have noticed worse battery life with both ROM's. I think I'll go back to gingerbread for now and wait for ICS on GS2 to mature a little.

...Should take 3-4 days ;) hehe
[Galaxy S II General] astro_man26:
Other issue I have encountered: Phone does not vibrate when I set it to silent. (when I receive phone calls and when I get messages or notifications)

Edit: I have fixed the issue. In the ICS Touchwiz, you have three states, sound, vibrate, silent that you can control with the volume rocker. When you turn down the volume to 0, it goes to vibrate, and when you turn it down again, it goes to completely silent, which wasn't the case in GB.

after a couple of days, I can say I have been getting worse battery life as well, in both the LPQ and LP7 It is stilll useable, but I am definitely looking forward for more polished releases.

On a side note, anybody think the new 'icons' for the copy/paste menu, as well as the icons on the new Gmail app are not very obvious visual cues? Bad design if you ask me... I shouldn't have to guess what a function does or know through trial and error what it means.
[Galaxy S II General] @home:
Gone back to GB too...ICS eats battery alive...well the cooked ones appear to.
[Galaxy S II General] Mephisto_POA:
mate I'm having the same issue with my phone. It is warm all the time, battery going 50% quicker at least. Deactivated wifi and all syncing, exchange, gmail, everything, the battery drains in the same ****ing ****ty way.

Quite disappointed with ICS battery wise, I've an external micro USB battery with 1500mha, it used to be juice for a heavy day of use, now I can't finish a single day with light use.

Thinking seriously about going back to GB as I was left without battery a couple of times already when I most needed

Don't mean to rub salt in the wounds but all that fuss about Samsung taking so long to release ICS and now people are moaning about it, even rolling back to GB...Maybe next time round people will be patient and wait for a release that works.:p
[Galaxy S II General] froggydoddy:
I went back to GB using a backup created with CWM. Everything's back except that my modem (baseband version) stayed at LP7.

Should I do something about that, or it doesn't matter and I can just leave it at that?

not flashing

My phone is currently on Open Europe (I9100OXAKL1) - I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1_OXA. I had used PDA (CODE), CSC and PHONE (Modem) when flashing this firmware as the firmware file from sammobile included all 3 files.

I am now trying to flash to 4.0.3 but the phone just remains on the S on a black background after odin. I tried using both the NEE (Nordic) and XEO (Poland). Same problem with both where the phone just stays on the big S after the restart (I waited over 15 minutes with no luck). I reloaded the PDA only of the current firmware in odin and the phone worked (well lost everything but worked). Tried again flashing to 4.0.3 with XEO but same problem.

I thought maybe the problem was the current version so I am trying to move to Open Germany (I9100DBTKH1) downloaded from sammobile which only contains one file (I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5). The problem is that when the phone is loading with the Open Germany firmware and it arrives to the black background with the big S, it restarts and enters into a loop.

Tried 4.0.3 once again but same problem.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem here, i allready try dfferent firmwares but the phone just remains on the S on a black background after odin.

:rolleyes:

I am sure Samsung really gives a **** about some people on XDA moaning for them the release ICS and released it before it was ready..

Really?!
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
here is the joke about this situation, Most people here moaned about not having ICS within an acceptable time, and now they have it they are moaning that it isn't worth upgrading. And maybe Samsung released it knowing that it had problems but got fed-up with the bombardments of emails from people moaning.. Who knows.! The one thing i do know is most people here are NOT PATIENT .!
[Galaxy S II General] diemadedrei:
well a major problem people are having now is that samsung has put so much time in making their ics look and feel like a gb and besides that, a few tings even got worse. If they would just have stuck to ics as it is people would say 'wow, perfect, whole new look and feel, well the few bugs... i dont mind'. But as ics for s2 is now, its really some kind of worse than gb
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
To be honest im gonna try it via kies on Monday. The only reason i havn't flashed ICS yet is because of what people have been saying here. Guess ill see come Monday. Not holding my breath thou.
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Hi..since the update to xeo software i cannot install certain apps as it comes up saying cannot install to sd or USB?!
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
I don't think ICS is that bad. It generally runs pretty decent on my s2. There's somethings that look cooler in the interface, but generally is doesn't look much different then gingerbread. I suppose thats because of touchwiz.

I do like being able to use Chrome now so thats a plus. I haven't encountered anything that was so buggy I'd go back to GB. It just wasn't the big epic OS change I thought it would be.

It's also a first release. First release of anything generally has bugs. Video Games, OS', etc...

As for the release length. It would probably help if google gave the source code to the manufacturer's a good deal before the release date. It feels like Google announced it, put out for the their new phone, and that was when all the manufacturer's got access to it. Since there are several companies making Android phones, maybe they'd be better off release the code early, so that there's a simutaneous release amongst the different phones. Having it on some phones and not others creates undue demand and pressure for the companies that haven't made their own ics version yet.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Makes sense.

Im going to try it Monday via Kies and see what is.
[Galaxy S II General] rahulits:
Earlier I was planning to flash the european ICS Rom via ODIN but now I am also waitng for update through Kies...though I have now lost all the interest and excitement for ICS after reading so many negative feedbacks!!

I was thinking it's possible that the different region handsets MAY have something to do with the problems people are having using the 1 single Rom. But ill find this out for myself come Monday. If i don't experience any problems then I'm either one of the lucky ones or ICS is not right.
[Galaxy S II General] pjoesys:
I did have this problem while on LPQ ROM. The way I solve it is

1) Unmount the SD Card (Settings -> Storage)

2) Install the apps

3) Mount the SD Card.

I have moved to LP7 ROM and the bug seems to disappear.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S II General] ankurprime:
how to fix these bugs on official LPQ (rooted)?

Applied XXLPQ 4.0.3 XEO official firmware and rooted (CF-Root v5.4 LPQ) 2 days back doing full wipe, also applied stock kernel and got rid of yellow triangle on boot up.. few bugs show up and they annoy me.. :(

1) wifi toggle just hangs (greys out) while switching wifi on when phone's uptime crosses 10-12 hours. After restart it works just fine and toggles quickly but i don't want to restart at the end of each day just to switch on wi-fi..

2) this one appeared today- in gallery when using 'set as-> home screen/ lockscreen wallpaper', just when it says 'drag orange line to set the size', phone hangs and 10 sec later gallery force closes.

I had changed the wallpapers without any problem the day i rooted, i tried to set up new lockscreen wallpaper today when i noticed this.

i run apex launcher

Please help. Thanks.. :)

Just flashed LP7, not sure the screen is any better, but will let you know sometime tomorrow. Can i please ask someone to upload the "Separate Kernel for LP7"? The file factory link sucks, never works, and always full. Thanks. Wanna flash it after rooting then copy zimage from cf-root :). have the zimage from cfroot, but i am missing the "Seperate original kernel" your upload is highly appreciated :)

I finally found a solution which fixed the problem of staying on the big S.

Switch off the phone, then carry out a factory reset from the recovery menu(start phone with Vol UP+ Home)

@fyew yea it's annoying when people complain, especially when faryaab went to the trouble of providing the roms and instructions, but really your post makes no sense. people have waited, this is the official rom, it has serious issues. The people who bought this phone at great expense should not be used as beta testers for Samsung. Samsung would not bow to consumer pressure to release something early because of risk of brand damage, Samsung obviously thought this version was 'good enough' for mass release. They were wrong and it calls into question their QA, UAT and Beta test process... People are right to be vocal, and pissed off about being given a buggy beta version presented as 'final'....

Thanks a lot. The firmware I9100XXLPQ works fine on my brazilian device. At least on my first tests.

Unfortunately Samsung insist on TouchWiz :( .
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Or maybe its to do with different regional Handsets using the one single rom. Plus I'd like to point out that we wont really know till Samsung releases it on Monday as Kies is the OFFICIAL way to update your mobile. So those who have updated using Odin and the likes and having problems don't really have an argument. Clearly if the update via Kies ends up with the same results then yes i agree with you that people have a right to moan.
[Galaxy S II General] TehH4rRy:
Having a strange bug well i think it's a bug. Maps always seems open in the task menu (hold home) no matter how many times I close it, it's not running in task manager either.

Also I was getting random GPS location searching notifications a couple of days ago, but haven't figured out what was causing it.
[Galaxy S II General] maxiordoqui:
Thanks you for this, i tried XXLPQ and didn't like its performance but battery life was great.. We must wait for a better release.. the version 4.0.4 of android brings lot of fixes and finally solves the battery drain problem with the 3.25 kernel version i think, i saw it running in Galaxy Nexus from Verizon and its awesome, hope samsung releases it for GS2 soon..

[Galaxy S II General] osmington:

my personal view is that instant bans should be dealt out for such behaviour, which will help deter future problems and make XDA a stronger community.

there are a vast amount of people who look in on this forum for various reasons, and we should do all we can to make it a comfortable and enjoyable experience which will in turn, only expand our community.

scrolling annoys me the most.does Indonesian ROM have the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
fair point. On that note, if I have flashed the stock rom rom using odin, aside from deleting some bloatware will I still be able to upgrade via Kies or will I have to unroot and revert to a GB rom, CSC & modem first? I'm hoping you are right and we will get a decent UK rom.

To those who are interested, I got 25 hours off this last charge with minimal use. I did find a fair few apps running unnecessarily and killed them, so this will have helped a little.. Next charge cycle will have no superfluous crap runnin, no live widgets and all sync set to manual. I will not use any 'powersave settings' and will keep brightness on auto.. I'll post again with results. My only real issue with this rom is the battery drain compared to stock 2.3.5...
[Galaxy S II General] hirak99:
What is the g-talk version on LPQ? Is it still 4.0.3? I ask because in mine it is 4.0.3, which I upgraded by rooting long time ago. I have checked it remained 4.0.3 after XXLPQ upgrade, but not sure if that was by design or because it maintained older apps.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
I'm hoping i am right too. Wont be holding my breath thou:D.

25hrs seems alittle steep? On GB I'd be getting 3days+ when testing using minimal and no 3rd party installs. Did you have any 3rd party apps installed running in the background?
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Hopefully the UK rom is better, LP7 was an improvement from LPQ. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
I was getting 48 hours in GB with this same usage no problem, to put it in perspective. battery drain has doubled.....

rooted the phone and I posted before about background apps. I did find that if you install a second launcher, any widgets or apps set up in that second launcher will be running, regardless of whether u are using the launcher or not!! this made power drain ridiculous. So for this last cycle I had deleted all third party apps, other than the root related apps, so su, cwm, tb.. but i had all of these closed. The odd thing is this. When you look at battery usage, over night the phone has periods of being awake every 15 mins, but with no screen activity. it appears it is trying to sync/update all the time. I also noticed that the 'update sync' utility is always open after a reboot and cant be killed. I have now frozen it with tb. Totally speculation, but could using odin with these roms as they are leave the phone thinking the update has not finished so keeps looking for an ota update constantly?.... wish I had some more technical knowledge haha, i doubt this speculation helps anyone :p
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Yeah i have been thinking its a problem using Odin and the ROM Posted by OP but until we get a Kies update its hard to tell really. it may also be that this ROM posted may not be for our region handsets. Speculation really. but come Monday ill be having a look myself and ill post my own findings.
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
do u have a sim free unbranded handset then? i thought the update was going to the cariers on the 19th... so who knows when it will go to end users? technically my phone is on 3, so unless me flashing this new rom has unbranded it, i doubt i will get it on monday via kies :/ is this right?
[Galaxy S II General] Xtreme512:
am I the only invisible person here ?
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Yes mine is unbranded. From CPW... If yours is branded then i have heard you do have to wait for your carrier to give it the all clear before you get it.... But to be honest i'm not sure how that would work, as you use kies to do the flash. maybe worth asking some of the other users here who have branded handsets on how it works. I never get branded handset for this very reason.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

LOL....I believe there is only one version posted here and other versions are available via kies in some regions and in other regions from this coming Monday onwards.

Boys and girls,

I read through the last 20 pages and see a lot of complaints of battery life. It is the LPJ/LPQ/LP7 modem (a.k.a. radio) which is eating through your battery like wildfire.

Through trial and error, I have discovered that LP6 is the new XXKI3. Remember how good this radio was with GB? Well, LP6 is the new KI3 ;)

I am sure some will ask "where do we get them CWM flashable" - thanks to @codeworkx you can find the latest radio for ICS here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
