Try not to use the soft keys and make your selection from the screen itself. I had the problem when using the volume keys to move up and down in CWM it would blink and reset. I then used the screen and I could scroll and make choices with no problems.

I hope this helps :)

Will installing the latest UK O2 ROM work on an unlocked handset? or should I wait for the unbranded one?

And if it is fine, will I be getting all the O2 branding an whatnot on the phone?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
As I understand it, the banding is gone.

Speaking of which: can someone create a flashable zip with the contact APK from LP3 to flash over an LP7 stock deodexed ROM?

I don't want to flash LP3 because I don't want any of the O2 bloat and branding. I'm hoping that'll solve the banding on the contacts app. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] lubbe:

I9100XWLP3 (4.0.3) - O2 (UK)- No data network access

I upgraded my galaxy S2 to the last ICS firmware I9100XWLP3. At the beginning, everything was working fine but now I have no more data network access (options are activated in the mobile settings).

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue ? Might this be linked to the modem version (XXLPR)?

Thanks for your help

Before updating, my mouse and keyboard works well with HOST-USB, but now, after update from GB to ICS for O2, doesn't work.

Found a bug on LP3, if you hit refresh on the social widget, it never stops updating.

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S II General] Toxic17:
no it is the stock O2 UK ICS with the UK Branding removed.

I've been using this for a few days now and it is very stable. also added SiyahKernel which seems to work fine with this version.
[Galaxy S II General] SmokedDuvel:
No matter if it's branded or debranded.

Working still the same ... :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:
Yip, I had the exact same issue, there's been a couple of other users having it too... To resolve it simply do a factory reset, wipe all data etc when flashing and reinstall the firmware.

[Galaxy S II General] fredsc:
I already did a factory reset / wipe all data before flashing the ICS firmware. Do you think it will change something if I do it again ? Or are you talking about the modem firmware only ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
usually if you have data issues i would say, check the APN settings...try wiping cache, and factory reset

also try flashing a modem that you know works...if on lp3, maybe the the lp7 modem, or lp2

After I installed the O2 UK ICS rom, I noticed that my network indicator would go crazy, jumping from 3G to H to H+ (it was steady before on Gingerbread 2.3.4), but wasn't even able to access data at all in browser or anything. I did a factory reset/cleared cache, but this did not resolve the problem. I finally flashed back to Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the network connection indicator is back to how it was previously with a steady connection.

Is there anything in ICS that may have affected the data connectivity?
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:

Please read this post:

Anyways, in case that it´s still not working, verify the CSC you are using..

You can check the CSC using *#1234#

You can change the CSC using *#272*imei number here# (this will wipe your data)

select the corresponding CSC to the firmware you are using.

I'm in Canada and having the same issue. The connection is fine, though, browsing and everything else is okay. I would like to know if this network indicator really means anything. Also, would it help if I flash stock modem and/or csc?

I think it´s in 3g when idle to save battery. it goes to H+ when transmiting/receiving

3g saves energy, while HSDPA (+) uses more battery..

installed no O2 uk branding, my problem now is,, what bloatwares to remove in ICS, i can see a list in for gingerbread, but dont know for ics, maybe someone can help me, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Not sure what you mean by that, but if you want to know how to remove the bloatware: download Titanium Backup, watch the video on its Google Play website and follow the instructions. You can remove anything you want, very quickly. Just be careful what you remove.

Which leads me to: in case you mean "what bloatware do I delete without screwing up my phone", my advice would be: stick to deleting apps, nothing else. If you can identify the program as an app, delete it. If not, steer clear.

And just to chip in my two cents on the Frankenstein (i.e. unbranded) O2 ROM from Intratech (massive thanks, b-t-dubs): it's very, very smooth. I was running LPQ before, which also wasn't giving me any trouble whatsoever, but the LP7 one is definitely the best so far.

Flashed it using Mobile Odin Pro (which I still cannot believe is not on every Android owners phone. Absolutely freaking fantastic), and the entire process literally took five minutes.

First impressions: better battery life than LPQ, smooth scrolling, fast response, excellent reception.

I'm on Vodafone in The Netherlands, in case people were wondering if this rom is good for within the general area of the UK.

Samsung has removed call recording from ICS

Bad news. Samsung has removed call recording feature from ICS (Android 4.0.3) firmware.It means that all applications in the Market won't record calls on ICS ROM. To get call recording back please visit xda-developers.com to find custom firmware with this feature. Sorry for inconveniences. Tap here to hide this message.

Was so pissed that even took my time to type this message over from CallRecorder app by skvalex in here...

So what now? Have to flash additional stuff to make it work again? Samsung, why have you done it? I know it's illegal in some countries to record calls but still... not in every country...

My question is if I can use the first update in this page and if it has the spanish language. Oh, and also if this update, its O2 branded or is it unbranded.

In case I can, for future reference, Should I assume it doesn´t matter the baseband as long the firmware is for the same phone model?

I do have an issue with the LP7 scrolling. Someone else already mentioned it, but the sensitivity is bothering me after a day of fooling around with it. I loved the 'stickyness' of the LPQ rom; I would never scroll too far, it would lock perfectly at the end of the screen (making for fantastic reading) and tapping would actually be processed as a tap. Now, a tap often results in a slight scroll up or down. Highly annoying.

Not that I'm changing again. I'll just play with this until another new rom is released and flash that. Just thought I'd add it to my thoughts on LP7.

Only after next weekend that i can give a clear picture how the battery does in moderate-heavy use.

I have Kies installed but it's not running when i start Odin, not even in the system tray and i've ended the kies processes in task manager.

I've also tried other USB ports, and running Odin as administrator - no luck.

I'm using Odin 1.85 and i've downloaded it again just to make sure it wasn't corrupt. What else can i do?

And when i go to recovery mode do i have to select anything there? It has ClockworkMod Recovery v4 and a few options.
