[Fascinate General] ljbrenes:
The gps in the fascinate is just as bad. I have tried every possible rom in this world and I cant get the phone to lock into any satellites and when it does it drops them whithin a couple of minutes.

This is not just me, google it and you will find dozens of fascinate owners with the same gps issues. My wife just got a rezound, hers lock into 11 or 12 sats whithin 5 secons while INDOORS!!!!

Given the other options in the market, I would not by a fascinate today. In fact, verizon is sending me a refurb fascinate that maybe will have a better gps radio.

My 2 cents
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
The stick fascinate had ****ty gps.. On mtd roms our super dev changed permissions for the chip. Now on all current mtd/aosp roms we get cry quick locks even indoors.
[Fascinate General] ljbrenes:
No me, I tried miui, askp milestone, 25, 26, asop, ths... you name it. Nothing made a difference.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
You are the minority, I'm thinking you have a hardware issue that you should take to Verizon
[Fascinate General] Deliquified:
QFT. I used to have awful GPS and thought my hardware was bad until installing Glitch Kernel and AOKP. Instant locks and 12 satellites now.. I've had the satellite accuracy down to 6 feet. That's almost good enough for military grade munition strikes.
[Fascinate General] andymetoo28:
Maybe i've never had an uber-super-rad-perfect GPS or something, but the GPS on my fascinate has always worked pretty well, I thought. The girlfriend and I have done a lot of Geocaching using the c:geo app and it's almost never let us down (save a handful of gps resets using gps status).
[Fascinate General] ljbrenes:
Perhaps you guys are right and I need to talk to V. Thanks for your opinions guys, i'll keep you posted.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
While the gps was weak in the early days, I haven't had a problem with it since froyo. It locks usually within 15 seconds and nearly always within 30.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
try enyos espresso tweaks, they saved my gps

Sent from my AOKP SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] awedel:
Stock, Touchwiz ROM, MTD Rom has not made a difference for me. I get locked onto 11 0r 12 satellites within 20 seconds outdoors and 6 or 7 while indoors. I get an accuracy of about 6 ft.

I can't seem to change DPI on any of these new ICS roms..

I have to! I'm not blind!

So it's stuck at 240 dpi.. I've tried DPI changer apps, but on every reboot my phone hangs at boot logo (splash screen, logo.jpg)

Maybe changing DPI on these roms doesn't work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
I feel you mate!

Last I checked It worked on LP6, from LPH onwards it doesnt work!

I dont know the reason but yeah hasnt been working for me too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
Damn this is unbearable! Even blind people can see these huge icons. Someone must know of a fix..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
edit the build.prop file in system folder and change the value from 240 to 160 or some other value you like.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
Done that, same effect..

I done that, except deleting the backup build.prop.bak. I don't see why that'd help so I'll exclude it for now..

Got stuck at splash screen still!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I know on LPH and a few other ICS roms that the build prop has two locations you need to set the LCD Density. If you changed one already, look for the other one as there should be two locations within build prop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
Ok I've confirmed it by installing LPQ, rooting and changing LCD density. As mentioned, there are two 'ro.sf.lcd_density=240 locations in build prop. Change both of them to desired density level. I changed both of mine to 210 and after a reboot, the LCD changed without issue and a lot smaller.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thescum:
just tried by changing both 'ro.sf.lcd_densities' to 160 with root tools and am stuck with bootloops...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lodger:
I am a bit of a noob when it came to editting the build.prot but i changed both values and rebooted ,, everything is lots smaller now...

Now to learn how to size the desktop to fit the smaller writing/icons..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
This method worked perfectly for me.

I went 192. After some tweaking apex got the desktop to look far less.. Err.. Big.

The email app and dialer are a bit skewed though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thescum:
tried every other way suggested here and came up with bootloops.

so i did this instead, using 7zip for the PC,

1. opened the cwm flashable custom rom's zip in the PC,

2. opened the build.prop with notepad where i had already set the *.prop to open with notepad

2. changed both locations from 240 to whatever i desired.

3. updated the build.prop back to the zip (it'll prompt when you close the build.prop)

4. Copied back to the SD card

5. and flashed

and voila, no worries, no bootloops

i hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandric:
I tried everything (changing on phone directly, flashing changed boot.prop, changing through the app), but in each case phone will not boot after change. I would really like to know what is the factor influencing this.

[About XDA developers] hedgepigdaniel:
At the bottom right of most pages there is a interactive flash ad for CLEARASIL which is not visible unless you scroll down to the bottom of the page, and yet has loud and annoying audio. for me it loaded on pretty much every page I loaded for a few minutes, even playing at the same time in different tabs. Seems like its the wrong sort of ad for a site like this, its extremely intrusive and distracting.

I believe it should be removed... If that's not the case, let us know.

So.. here's a video I made with screencast for those who are still waiting to flash the ROM and want to see whats in it.

I removed all of the useless apps using Anttek app manager from the market.

The widgets and wallpapers are exactly the same as the Gingerbread ROM

The bug when changing lockscreen wallpaper is still there

[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
I saw that pocketnow (website) also made a video on a S II running the official ICS. But after a few minutes, I got bored. Whenever I will flash my first ICS ROM, I will make it look like stock ICS. Samsung really shouldn't have kept the same old touchwiz...
[Galaxy S II General] TheFluffyOne:
I know where you're coming from, but I think Samsung would get a lot more grief if they fundamentally changed the launcher as part of the ICS upgrade.

Which makes more sense: keep the launcher the same and annoy a relatively small number of geeks (who have the knowledge required to install a replacement launcher anyway) or change the launcher and annoy the much larger group of "regular" users who treat the device as a tool rather than as a toy?
[Galaxy S II General] hordal:
Your right but i think they should keep the look and feel of tw but add some more options to it. So that tw by itself is more customizable and so there is even no need for new and old users to search an alternative
[Galaxy S II General] CallMewAY:
Have been running ICS for a while now.. and it just slow down my device.. Offical ICS = **** :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schotzi:
I have had my T989 since October and have loved the phone except for voice quality. Using GV created such distortion that I could not even understand my own messages left on the answering machine. My spouce refused to talk to me when using the phone. This was true with or w/o using the case.

In January, I returned the phone to Samsung, and they did a software update. The update did away with a minor echo problem, and calls w/o GV are now acceptable but not as good as previous phones. I want to use my GV number for business, but I am too ashamed to do so. My voice is still unintelligible to the listener. Has anyone else experieincd this problem with GV on a T989?

I do not use wifi. GV on my phone needs all the help it can get. I even remove the cover, use noise, reduction, and tape the speaker mic when using GV. I hate to be without my phone for two weeks, but looks like I will have to send it back to Samsung again.

The first thing I would try would be doing a full wipe. I suppose you just flashed it on top of GB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tizza:
I did the same thing (flashed XXLPQ on top of GB), and I'm having the same problem. No lock screen/phone isn't going into sleep mode. Long-pressing the power button gives no options but simply turns off the phone. So I've decided to do a full wipe, but at the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do I need to do exactly? I've already gone through CWM Recovery mode, wiped all the data and user cache. Also did a factory reset. That brought the phone back to default settings, but yet still on ICS, with still the same problems. I reflashed ICS and still no good. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what do I do? I'm thinking I'm meant to revert back to GB, or maybe even back to the original stock build (though I didn't backup the ROM). But I'm also wondering how that would work without causing problems, since I'd be flashing an old GB build on top of ICS.

In short: I'm a noob and I don't know what to do. Please help!

Edit: I never lost the "NO" keystr file in my efs/imei folder.

Edit 2: FIXED! Both lock screen and power button options are back.

Despite having retained the keystr file, it was actually necessary to fix it up... Here's how I did it (make sure your device is rooted):

Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store. Just open it and type in this code:

And that's it.

I have since turned off my phone and turned it back on and it is still working fine, so you shouldn't have any problems retaining the file upon reboots. I hope this solves your problem. :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] footyfanatic:
This is a feature which needs to be built into Android, so the only hope is if it is included in an update. And the most likely update is the ICS update from Sony.

Even ICS doesn't support this as standard.

Cyanogenmod seems to support it...

That would make it not to hard to implement it in a rooted S.

You need to extract boot.img from the mikrunny.zip file and place it in your android tools folder (where you have your adb and fastboot batch files)

Then boot into fastboot on your phone, and after making sure your device is detected... type the following command;

fastboot flash boot boot.img

no need to rename anything.

To read about fastboot and adb setup in detail, click on the link under Helpful Links in my signature. :)

You need to flash the specific boot.img extracted from each particular ROM every time you flash a new ROM in the future.

I've had SGS2 for a couple of months now and it's currently running 2.3.3 stock rom. I never tried to update it because I can't manage to install Kies.

When I install Kies, the program installs fine, but I always get a Windows popup message saying that drivers failed to install. When I start Kies and connect my mobile phone to USB, nothing happens in Kies, but my phone displays the message "Connected Press the home key to quit Samsung Kies". If I disconnect the phone, Windows popup displays the message "USB device not recognized". I've tried this on three PCs (running WIN7 64bit, WIN732bit and WINXP 32bit) and same thing happens on all of them.

Does anyone else have problems installing Samsung drivers?

Is there a way for me to update my phone in this situation?

Will ODIN work without proper drivers?

Is Mobile ODIN a solution to install ICS?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy j:
Hi yer 3 things you can do the first thing you should know is you don't need kies to update if you navigate to settings then about phone then if you see at the top of the list is check for updates click that when you know your area is eligible for an upgrade

The other way is to find the appropriate Rom for your phone eg network branded and right modem. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 There all on here then flash it via odin

The third way is one of the best ways as it gives you access to lots lots more Rom and features. This requires you rooting your phone and installing a custom recovery and flashing custom Rom that way.

I haven't gone into any grate detail but you have the options now all you need to research about them here on the xda. Good luck

Ps. Odin requires you your phone your to be in download mode (Press the Volume Down button + Home button + Power button). Plug your phone in when its in download mode and let windows 7 download the drivers.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeurum_92:
I don't think that they come with a Sense version < 4.0

The rest of the ICS versions get 4.0, so it would be a bit unlogical to put an older Sense version with the ICS update.
