Ad2p problem

Hello all,

I have done this update on my i9100.

I used to play music in my car with gingerbread using bluetooth.

Now music metadata is not send to my car and the song title is not shown anymore on my car player.

I have read that this is because of lack of acvrcp bluetooth protocol.

As any one seen the same problem?

Does someone has found a workaround?

Thanks for help
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
I have asked twice now with no answer so I will give it one more go before giving up. What are people using to undervolt/underclock etc? SetCPU is causing hangs for me.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
A smart and simple solution is to downgrade (more like upgrade -.-) to gingerbread and wait faithfully until sammobile released source code and codeworks starts cooking us up a perfect rom. A rom, where every little thing is smooth and fast and stable. I mean how sad is it that a whole team of people can't handle making a stable rom. And many developers make it happen :] (I know the devs aren't alone but still).

Long story, short: Upgrade to gingerbread and stay there.

Have a good day.

PS: I can't believe that people would go as much as calling this rom "official"...To me it looks rushed and incomplete (many do as well)

hey guys

hey fellas,

installed the ics, all smooth and well, but wanted 2 root, downloaded it, uploaded on the phone, triangle appeared...but phone just wouldn't start.

reinstalled ICS, made a total wipe (volume up + home + power) then reflashed kustom kernel, and guess what?? Still no booting up. so had to reinstal ICS.

Is there any way to get around this? :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] crazyykw:
I got my phone from India and was waiting for ICS to release officially. So yesterday I saw this post and thought of going for it but a lot of negative reviews held me back.. I m familiar with odin so had no hesitation in flashing the rom.

I was coming from non rooted stock GB 2.3.5 and did exactly as given in the first post. I am happy report that this rom is excellent . It is smooth , responsive and it has definitely a new feel to except the status bar and contacts which are the same .

I am now using with apex launcher and using ex dialer and it looks a lot like stock ICS. I am actually loving it and having no trouble whatsoever. No trouble with wallpapers , no FCs . I had read quite a lot about this rom before flashing and would suggest you do the same. You wont be dissapointed if you do eveything correctly..

will report about battery in a few days but there is definitely a lot of drain with swype..

Happy flashing!!:D:D:D

About the contacts and Dialer apps

Hey guys, about the contacts app, how do I sync only what's on "My Contacts" list in google, I have 800+ contacts from the "Not Assinged" group...

And the dialer app... any way we can get the original ICS dialer app??

OH and BTW... I F_CKING HATE TOUCHWIZ ON ICS!! :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] bogdancirstea:

[Galaxy S II General] Deejaykeen:

thanks for all the help everyone. I was rooted using the simple method without having cwm installed. I download the firmware from the source in the first thread, I then used mobile odin to upgrade firmware and root the phone as well.

I found this a great method because you avoid the triangle warning.

I'm on vodafone uk. good luck guys.

Hey Guys,

I have Galaxy S2 with the stock gingerbread Rom and I want to upgrade it to jelly been...

The PDA is I9100XXKF1 in the stock Rom, and my country is Syria...

So I don't know which version I must choose and which version support Arabic...

Anybody can help me? :)
[Galaxy S II General] agdroubi:
Yes you can.

Starting from android 4.0 arabic is now included as reading in all roms.

So it is better to use the latest which is xwms1
[Galaxy S II General] Muhammad Rihawi:
Thank you for your help :)

In this Rom Arabic included reading as you said but is it support writing?

Also if I want have a clean install, I must flash the Rom with Odin then I do factory rest from the recovery? or not ?

One question more, Must I Change CSC after all that?

Thank you again for your help :)
[Galaxy S II General] agdroubi:
Yes it supports writing

That is true flash tgrough odin then factory reset.

[Galaxy S II General] SilverHawk2:
successful flash but not boot

Hey guys,

I'm a bit confused. Wanted to change ROM back to stock in order to turn the device in. I ran numerous stock roms, Cyanogen Mod Roms etc in before ...so i'm used to flash via CWM Recovery and also via Odin.

I tried I9100XWLSS, I9100XWLSW, I9100XWMS1 - all of them were successfully flashed via odin, but then the device stuck on the black/white screen were it say "Samsung SGH I9100".

Restoring back to CWM-Recovery works just fine.

Do you have any advice for me what I'm doing wrong?

Many Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Try to wipe data in recovery.

This will do a factory reset, so be sure that you have a backup of everything you don't want to lose.

And you are sure that you have the international S2 (GT-I9100 )?

[Galaxy S II General] khrone:
Kinda having the same problem, although my issue mainly evolves around random boots and getting stuck if and when my battery drops below 30%. Same happens with Neatrom 5.3 and stock MS1. Tried full wipes before and after stock rom, bootloop fixed kernel, custom rom (before and after full wipes). For some reason just cant get this to work.

So, should I flash the stock FW via odin first, then recovery wipe and it should work? After that flash philz latest kernel?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Worth a try IMO.

I would wipe first, then flash stock ROM, check that everything works fine, then flash PhilZ kernel, then try to flash NeatROM Lite non-wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] khrone:
Not a chance, the isue still occurs more then once a day... getting really pissed about all of this. With previous versions on stock roms I didn't even know what a bootloop was/random freeze. Guess its back to flashing an older stock rom and to see what happens

Signal goes off, screen flickers and phone shutsdown suddenly

So Ive been searching for a solution from this forum for a while now and no luck. My issue is that when i updated my FW to the latest NEE MS1, my phone seems to lose data connection completely, then for a split second get it back, screen starts to flicker and results in a shutdown and wont turn back on for a while. Tried to reboot back to recovery, wiped data / cache, works for a while and then the same problem comes. Flashed philz latest kernel for bootloop fix, still the same, tried custom ms1 rom, same issues.

Getting really frustrated with this whole thing, still have a month of warranty left on the phone and never before had such issues as i do now. Any help? Tried full wipes to custom roms and stock roms but cannot get it to work.
[Galaxy S II General] Pumpino:
I'm selling my wife's S2 and thought I should return it to stock firmware (it had SuperNexus 3 on it). I did a factory reset and then used Odin to flash the latest firmware (dated 17/10/13). It flashed successfully but it boot loops on the Samsung logo. How can I resolve this? I'm now downloading all 550MB of I9100XWLSW (15/5/2013) to see if that boots.
[Galaxy S II General] PMoto:
You two should install a ICS 4.0 ROM, then a syiah kernel, them wipe data and format.

I just don´t get it what´s problem there.

No matter what official ROM I flash in with odin 3.04 I end up with no working phone.

Only one ROM that works somehow is old Resurrection Remix :(

Issue:

After flashing I wipe everything and reboot.

After long wait phone comes alive but it does not ask for PIN code. Phone finds networks but singlan bars are grey and I can´t log into network because phone does not ask that PIN code....

[Galaxy S II General] metalgearhathaway:
Chaps I have a weird issue, I have return to stock 4.1.2, but when I move a user installed app it moves it to my external sd card rather than the 12gb internal partition.

After a reboot the apps that have moved to external sd then do not function.

I cannot find how to make the device move apps the way it used to from the 2gb internal to the 12gb internal partition.

I have tried flattening the phone and flashing stock 4.1.2 again, this time keeping my external sd card removed, if I then try to move an app it tells me there is not enough room to move it, even though the 12gb internal partition is empty.

Any advice gratefully received!

I'm currently running Carbon ROM (AOSP based) with CWM recovery. I'd like to go back to stock and flash one of these FWs through Odin, without keeping any data - I want to wipe everything and start clean. What would be the procedure for that?

Should I just flash via Odin and select re-partition? Or not? Flash then go to stock recovery and delete data? Or delete data via CWM before flashing? If anyone can help, I'd very much appreciate it. I'd like no trace of my current ROM/data/apps left. BTW, I plan on flashing via Odin on PC, not mobile Odin.

And finally.. any recommendations for which FW is best? LSD, LSW, or MS1? (keep in mind I intend to start fresh)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] nicky3:
First, wipe data factory reset, then install firmware through ODIN 3.07,

and now you'll have boot loop, then pull out your batery, go to stock

recovery, and now again, wipe data and wipe cache partition, reboot sistem now.

I was flash firmware from CM 10.2 like this.

The last update, is the best firmware. I'm on MS1 Croatia.

(1) Open the included Odin

(2) Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) <- Had to click up on volumes because I was using a customer firmware

(3) Click PDA and select *.tar.md5 & Start

RESOLVED: Just found on another site you need to Wipe Data / Factory Reset within recovery, this solved problem !!!

November was poor of rollout for our devices..

OK, so I flashed the FW through Odin, all went well... but I can't get into stock recovery to wipe data. Is the shortcut for it Vol.Up+Home+Power? It doesn't want to work. Oddly enough, the FW is booting even without a factory reset in stock recovery, though it seems a little sluggish. Ideas?

Hey Guys! Currently running a STOCK ROM WLSS Baltic (SEB) version. Somehow, my SII started to freeze sometimes. I have to take out the battery and restart the phone, so it would start operating. When the SII loads totally, the battery charge shows a drop say 15-20% after the freeze. I would appreciate if someone would be able to advise what can cause this misfunction. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] Spamm00r:
Hey,

I understand that you have to performa data wipe for the I9100XWMS1 NEE edition. But did anyone check whether the I9100XWMS1 from other carriers (Croatia and Belgium), that are now also available can be flashed without having to factory reset the device?
[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, non-wipe installation possible.

Depending on the ROM from which you are coming. From stock JB ROM to stock JB ROM it will work fine without a factory reset.

Other combinations may lead to some issues (bootloop or system apps FCs) without wiping data.

P.S.:

Only when the ROM tar file contains a data.img file, then it will automatically "overwrite" (> wipe) your current data partition.
[Galaxy S II General] Spamm00r:
OK.

I am currently on Stock:

I9100 XWLSW Germany 1&1 (XEG) Base Firmware: I9100 XWLSW ( 4.1.2 ) CSC: I9100XEGLS5 Modem: I9100XXMS2 Region: Germany

So I assume I can update without any factory reset.

But aren't some users writing that Samsung confirmed in an E-Mail to them that they have to factory reset after the update because Samsung made an error in the release? I assumed they were talking about update from Stock to Stock. Why would Samsung support anything relating to coming from custom firmwares?

Some posts confuse more than they help.

BTW: WHat languages are available in the BSE and TRA region? I suppose English is always available. But what about German. Is it available in these regions firmwares?
[Galaxy S II General] PMoto:
If you are on stock XWLSW (Germany) and you want to update to XWMS1 (NEE), you can easily, without wipe data.

Just flash with ODIN, and maybe a Wipe Cach and wipe dalvik will do.

You don't loose anything!

[Galaxy S II General] It_ler:
Yes, should work fine without wipe.

There is a stock XWLSW with Italian CSC on SamMobile.

Or you can flash the latest XWMS1 stock ROM ... why do you need this version?

Is it about the UK CSC or do you have other reasons?

As the CSC only contains network/carrier specific "bloatware" (sometimes also media files), it's not that important IMO, as long as you can connect to your mobile network/carrier.

(The language support is in the ROM itself, and not depending on the CSC.)

I have this ROM tar file locally, but uploading will take some hours for me ... that's why I'm trying to avoid it.

Just let me know, if you "really" need this stock ROM version.

And why don't you just flash the latest NeatROM which is also based on XWMS1?
