You took the words out of my mouth.

In my opinion, a total let down.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] deorext:
seems like the color faded...

color option seems like not working.

vivid, standard and movie option all show no differences.

how?
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
I have no battery drain. In XXLPH I noticed my phone behaved better then GB. I can't say the same about XXLPQ because I had only charged it last night but now it shows 94% in 3h and 19 m with wifi always on. I will keep you posted with the battery life.

About TW I really hope that after SGS3 release we would have an update with TW 4.
[Galaxy S II General] hadji1:
this is ablolutely true. Galaxy Nexus is definately an option i consider too..
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
btw no one seems to mention or did I miss the fact that Samsung told us ICS won't support Flash. On stock browser I have flash.So how is it ?
[Galaxy S II General] androidkid311:
Well said mate. :D. Its a shame though but nexus all way from now ;-).
[Galaxy S II General] Frostfree:
I always said the phone was near perfect with GB, seems I'll skip the official Samsung ICS and go for the full CM9 release
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
I really dont understand how people can call this scrolling smooth. It feels like my wifes X8 lol. I think next device will be htc because they do some creativity with ics, and get rid of ics default ugly theme. Sorry for being all negative..
[Galaxy S II General] Br0k3r:
Same here. I am pleased with battery life. I flashed ICS with 69% with full wipe. I had to reinstall all my apps ( @40 ) then set up email accounts, browsing the internet, play store, some playing for testing, in total about 2:30 h of screen time. Also 1h of voice calls. All this time with wifi on and email sync active for 3 mail accounts.

Then idle my phone over night. In the morning i had 15% battery left and 15H on battery.

I can say it's good for the first cycle on ics.

The only downfall of this version for met it is the touchscreen responsivness ( its kinda slow vs. gb version ) and the heating when im watching youtube movies on browser ( i use Dolphin HD )
[Galaxy S II General] kingofthebraves:
This release has been disappointing so far. Did a full wipe and flashed a stock version, and it was lagging like crazy just syncing my contacts! Couldn't even go back to the home screen.
[Galaxy S II General] ascariss:
I just rebooted my phone after wifi crashed, and after it turned on it went from 86 to 75% lol so that was no good.
[Galaxy S II General] Br1ce:
I (and some others as well) still have the same damn issue with installing some apps from market... and still the same workaround : disable sd storage before intallation.

I don't know whether it comes from the rom or the rooter kernel, but it sucks...
[Galaxy S II General] scott.eden:
The colour is awful, and the scrolling is Sh*t, Not for me , back to GB...

There is no way this is the final release.
[Galaxy S II General] Retroglide08:
While opening/sending/exiting txt msgs I get a red border flash around the edge of the screen. Anyone else getting this
[Galaxy S II General] Br1ce:
@Retroglide08 : nope, I don't have that...
[Galaxy S II General] wurzelsepp3:
I'm also quite disappointed with this release.

Everything just seems slow, it doesn't lag but it's slow.

Touchscreen sensitivity is pretty bad and scrolling is ****.

BTW: is there already a fix that gets rid of the "homebutton-lag"
[Galaxy S II General] Retroglide08:
Thx, bit of a strange one!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Br1ce:
I think I'll go back and restore a backup of Checkrom... I'm quiet disappointed with that release, let's wait for what the CM guys will be able to do in the near future...
[Galaxy S II General] walidhiphop:
Compact view is there in the call log....it works fine for me.....
[Galaxy S II General] ssvijay:
Works fine here too
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Screenshot needed.

Just dial a different number, then see.
[Galaxy S II General] Cro0707:
In call / sms log, you can set up that only cals or SMS are showed, but when you exit it, it will reset to both call / sms again. Annoying.
[Galaxy S II General] torrence:
I'm experiencing heavy battery drain - unplugged my phone 5 hours ago and already below 40 % battery.

I'm not able to post links as of yet - new user..

Samsung TTS seems to be the main perpetrator though.
[Galaxy S II General] dajumper:
we can better let it with gb ics is not good how samsung it makes! maybe on sgs3 it is better, i had the drain also i'm back to gb XILA3
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
This is an old Apple trick to get you to upgrade to the newest handset, Well Samsung do like to copy:D
[Galaxy S II General] jeremija8:
Omg stop *****ing about battery life. It has to be at least couple of recharges before you can say anything about it's life..
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Trolololololol ... See attached screenshot

Trolololololol ... You have a Apple? Go back to your bridge m8

Not Always. Atm ppl are over using their phones with the new updates on and expecting it to last the same way it used to when they barely used it. Mostly this is because you dont notice how much you use your phone and its all blamed on the ROM and not the ppl putting the screen on off on off on off the whole day to check something or fix something or contact someone ect ect.

I WhatsApp a LOT and in the screenshot you can see that as well. It all depends how you use your phone.
[Galaxy S II General] twentythree2607:
So far the only thing which bothers me about the rom is the scrolling - it is absolutely terrible. Not smooth or responsive at all, its too quick and jerky.

That is enough to send me back to GB where everything is brisk and fluid. Hopefully it will be fixed in the UK version on the 19th.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
No problem :D
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Ahh Crap. My Car dock screwed up my stats there. My phone was unplugged last night at 22:30 already. The car dock made it reset its timer.

is the 7 hours on the screenshot + 9 hours +-
[Galaxy S II General] Okur90:
Have they kept the foldering system of the ICS? Or is it still that crap beige, unpractical UI?
[Galaxy S II General] GLunPy:
camera

How about the camera? Did ICS fixed the crappy camera?
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
There is very little ICS in this ROM. Touchwiz makes every thing look the same as before, I think the best way to describe this is, You know the pictures you see of ICS? Or perhaps what you seen on the Nexus? Well this is nothing like it
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Except for the Scroll Glow effect actually and some of the transition effects. Other than that its pretty much the same.

OH before i forget the notification bar on slide down now has smaller text and it looks much more crisp than before as well as your social hub and messaging notifications actually shows the persons picture in the notification bar.

P.S No offence meant with the troll comment... Its just a default response when someone compares apple to Samsung, but you knew that already right :P
[Galaxy S II General] BrockFSamson:
All the people who are whining about battery life - go buy a new battery or stop ****** up your phones. ~9 hours on battery with heavy internet usage and music+video ~2hours and i still have 30% of battery left
[Galaxy S II General] seghier:
thank you

i have question about allshare how use it with pc ?
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Just wondering if anyone else couldn't restore wifi data grim titanium coming from lph?
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
I knew it would get a response :D
[Galaxy S II General] nio_insane:
Sigh.... whining about everything.

If you dont like touchwiz(samsung) !go htc or lg gooo gooo please gooo!.:rolleyes:

Sent from my home using a Pidgey
[Galaxy S II General] rj3005:
I second that.... battery is certainly not worse than it was on GB, I lost 3% during the night (wifi on, all syncs enabled)

Now, 15 hours after charging it still has 64% left ( light use /1 hour screen on time)
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
Well, This are my first impressions:

-Looks almost the same.

-I Like the new widgets for Social Feeds, Gmail, etc. but i think gmail widged looks weird in 3x3.

-Scrolling feels hard, specialy on contacts.

-I miss FB contacts sync and integration. G+ is nice, but FB should still be there.

-Contacts takes higher picture resolution, but calling screen isn using them.

-Nice lockScreen. can show the weather in lockscreen, but temperature allways showing 0.0 C (just the lockscreen, anywhere else is showing fine) anyone else has this?
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Just install the Facebook for android app. Its like 2mb I think and the 1st time you log into it it gives you the Sync Contact options for your phone. The app will then integrate with your contacts to show all your Facebook stuff.

TBH not a big deal.
[Galaxy S II General] Gunde:
Well I went to sleep with 100% and the charger plugged in and woke up to 35% and a burning hot battery.

Something is going on because that never happened with GB.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
odgy App, something constantly running. I dunno, check!
[Galaxy S II General] ckmemphis:
Yesterday too I did notice a big increase in battery life... I think it only lost about 2% in like 3hours.... I don't use my phone that much, but there is an increase since GB..... I just charged it full now, so will check how long this charge will hold....

One small question, do I have to wipe battery stats after flashing the ROM? I know some ROM's require you to do that...?
[Galaxy S II General] -=kOiL=-:
I got 40m AudioOut_1 wakelock after 2 hours of usage. Battery down from 89% to 41%. Weird...
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
No they didnt, total fail here. Same ugly stupid folders as froyo ffs..
[Galaxy S II General] shaq1907:
I have keyboard problem since LPB. Sometimes keyboard disappear or keys don't work. It happens both swype and default keyboard. Do you have same problem or what do you suggest to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
is the stock mail app broken for anyone else when using an Exchange ActiveSync account (like google mail for app)? it won't load mails & folders, and logcat shows errors "Email:SecFeatureWrapper(6658): Was not initiated"

it doesn't mater if full wipe or upgraded ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
I´m using an activeSync Account with an exchange server. no problems at all
[Galaxy S II General] robadahobada:
I am now having the same problem - authenticated to my work Exchaneg server ok though?!

By the way I was having BAD battery drainage after flashing using mobile odin - I didnt do a wipe and flash. In two hours of not using the phone it lost >20% battery!

I reflashed doing a full wipe about 5-6 hours ago and it seems better so far - its on 60% (was 90% when I finished flashing and unplugged from mains) but I've been redownloading all my apps and setting them up since then.
[Galaxy S II General] Jigen90:
They are going to release 4.0.5 for Galaxy Nexus..I hope they will fix those little issues in a future update for GS2
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
There is no ICS feel, & I notice lag... GB was smoother for me.

Hmm, not a good start to ics for Samsung.

I get the feeling this rom was 'put together' rather than created.

Having a blue overscroll when green is still present in everything makes no sense either.

Input method icon when typing, that just an annoyance aswell.

The software is not bad, but currently I feel it's more of a downgrade from gingerbread rather than the big update its supposed to be.

It of course, scores higher on antutu though.
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
Ok.. I've been using the new ics since this morning and it's been pretty good. Once you're used to the sticky scrolling its all gravy baby! I have only the double sms bug with 3rd party messaging asp but that's no big deal. I don't know what everyone's problem is? Battery is no worse than gb for me.. You must have some sort of app trying to sync all the time. The touch screen sensitivity is a bit lower but that's only feeling like that to me because I had mine on the highest setting using siyah in gb.. I'm using wanamlite ics themed rom with go launcher and it looks nice :-). The only thing that annoyed me was that I couldn't get 800x480 wallpapers to work properly on nova. I really wanted to test that. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful :-)

Sent from inside a black hole.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
AFAIK on Apex, Nova you can't set a 480x800 wallpaper.
[Galaxy S II General] andreasS2:
Which exact version have you installed? The polish one? I can't get used to the scrolling, it's driving me crazy, I'm thinking of installing the Nordic release over it to see if it fixes anything.

Btw I did my BSc in Leicester, love it :)
[Galaxy S II General] omeryounos:
I m using the NEE version and it has sticky scroll as well .
[Galaxy S II General] andreasS2:
Thanks mate, you saved me the trouble of flashing again. I guess we have to wait for a newer version.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
I too had charger plugged in and phone drained and was burning hot.

Disabling Swype stopped problem.

Today 7am 100% --> 6 pm 60% battery left.

60 min. browsing, reading mails and news (screen on all the time).

10 min. talking.

So if you are experiencing huge battery drain AND have Swype enabled (service running). Try to disable Swype and stop service.

Tonight I will delete Swype data and enable it again and see if problem is solved or will return.

BTW

Everything else working as a charm. No FC and no lag. Absolutely as good as GB 2.3.5 and no reason to look back ...
[Galaxy S II General] Areg8_6:
ICS is more battery friendly than GB.
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
I don't know which one wanamlite is.. I just kinda flashed it lol. Nice to know. Someone else who's been to our little spot in the Midlands :-D. That's a shame about nova/apex. :-(. You can still do the gb fling if you learn the right flick :-P

Sent from inside a black hole.
[Galaxy S II General] ben_dov:
Have issue with every SMS app other than stock, they always sending two text, charging me twice, had to go back to stock, anyone else?
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:
Yes It's a known bug. Although my contract gives me so many sms's that I don't worry about it xD.
[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
could someone of those people who claim to have horrible laggy scrolling and the ones who claim to have perfect fluid scrolling please make a youtube video of it ? i think it would be very helpful to compare those, because just saying "scrolling is bad" is surely a matter of subjective perception.
[Galaxy S II General] Phenryth:
Coming back to Gingerbread tonight.

The rom itself is pretty good but :

- no real sensation of such an update from GB to ICS. Sammy's fault. Just a port with the same apps and user feel.

- Bluetooth issues. Phone working with car bt but not the music. Not even with different music player. At home..the phone is not even connecting to my logitech (working without any issues with Gb for each case mentionned)

- several apps issues (not compatible with Ics maybe...like feedly..anyone can confirm ?)

- 3g/GPRS worse than GB ( but good enough with ics still)

- what the hell are those ugly notifications icons? (apps, talk...so big and so ugly....)
[Galaxy S II General] wurzelsepp3:
The actual scrolling is smooth, the problem is that that scrolling doesn't feel "natural", sometimes you move your finger over half the screen and nothing happens.
[Galaxy S II General] dinoc:
Updated from 2.3.4 , the email worked fine with Exchange server but in ICS 4.0.3 keep getting "Connection error" and not all emails are downloaded.

Is there a known issue with Exchange server and ICS ? Does your Exchange server work fine for you?
[Galaxy S II General] jawil:
Exchange works ok for me, but the app lags a bit from time to time.
[Galaxy S II General] Razertje:
Anyone with a solution to sync pictures? Social Hub just won't sync contact pictures.

The official Facebook app uses low res pictures, and the contact pictures won't show up in WhatsApp. Did they remove the contact sync option? If they did...What where they thinking!??!?!?!??!
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Use HaxSync paid app but works great. Syncs pics and events from Facebook.
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
had the same problem when upgrading. a full wipe (or adding a new exchange account) did not fix it but made it worse by not having any mails at all.
[Galaxy S II General] Razertje:
Thank you!

Bought it, and works absolutley great!
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Nice, such a great app if only native apps synced without issues but happily worth the 89pennies.
[Galaxy S II General] tugler:
Are you able to install big apps? like Jelly Defense?

It says it can't be installed on SD Card?
[Galaxy S II General] sqbaannyy:
Nope.
[Galaxy S II General] raxidian:
that's weird, you should be able to install big apps to the SD withouth problems with that kernel.

Also, contacts doesn't work anymore integrating other apps contacts and updating statuses and pictures ? That's a shame.

I was expecting they put up a better dialer, one with a full screen contact picture ala ICS stock.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
I found that the new YouTube app is a bit buggy. You can't choose which video to play in a playlist, it will always play the first video in the list.

Connecting the phone to a computer via USB is annoying now too. The default connection method is now MTP not mass storage which means you have to fiddle around in the settings menu to activate mass storage before you connect the cable if you want to transfer non media filetypes, though this is googles fault as its the ics default way of doing things.

Other than that most other things are fine so far.
[Galaxy S II General] iD4rK:
Error on spanish keyboard

ADD THIS TO THE "TO-DO/FIX" LIST:

The spanish keyboard on samsung keyboard has a mistake, the "y" is where the "z" is and vice-versa. That is quite annoying...:(

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] Gunde:
Yeah problem went away after force closing Swype.

I have since re-activated Swype and so far the problem hasn't returned.

So far so good :)
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
Popped my phone on charge a couple hours ago...

Just pulled it of charge and it was very hot. Done a reset and it's at normal temp' now and back on charge.

And this is with Swype disabled.

:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] nomnompie:
From what I discovered this only happened with USB Debugging turned on... I could be mistaken though. I already NANDROID'ed back to 2.3 lol.. Couldn't take the wonky scrolling..
[Galaxy S II General] Areg8_6:
I got that problem too , i just reflashed firware by mobile odin and it solved the problem. I think it's related to CSC

Exchange Problem

I've had this problem with Exchange when the email retrieval size was all, works fine when its on the default value of 2kb haven't tried any other values.
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
I haven't seen this mentioned yet so hopefully it hasn't been asked before.

Has the bug with playing WMA files been fixed? When I play lossless WMA files on LPH I randomly get terrible audio corruption. I really hope it's something that's been fixed because it makes it really hard to listen to music when it can start playing a very high pitched noise in your ear at any time.
[Galaxy S II General] bytes2000:
S2 Phone with LPQ crashes if you try to underclock via setCPU.

Sometimes screen freezes, sometimes an infinite loop sound and screen crash happens.

So I quit from trying to underclock but sometimes it just freezes when Im not using the phone! I think it happens when it switches from wifi to 3g.

I use my phone as alarm clock and it has been crashing overnight, when I try to use it in the morning the screen is black and it doesnt wake up. So I have to remove the battery if I want to continue using it.

So far, this first release is buggy..
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Under/overclocking utilities are probably not updated to support ICS. I don't think it is ICS's fault in this case. Once you disable the auto-loading of under/overclocking utilities, the release is stable as!
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
Does anybody know how to remove the sounds from battery low/ full? Also maybe the camera shutter and autofocus. The files are not the same from GB. Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] digz6666:
My Kies Air is not working :(

Its says:

Plugin not found in configuration file. Check plugin configuration file and make sure the URI /www/switch.php is set up

Anyone had problem?

I tried deleting kies air data, but no help.

Edit:

Its working, issue's related to firefox cache, cleared it and worked :)

Anybody noticed: Official release - Camera now records with stereo sound!!!
[Galaxy S II General] taiachu:
Have used LPQ for a day now and so far I'm not amused...

Pros:

*Seems faster overall

*Seems a bit smoother

*Stock keyboard is even faster and more responsive than before

*Recording hd video is now smoother (no lag/stutter when moving camera)

Cons/bugs so far:

*Scrolling is terrible

*Still no comma (,) on stock keyboards main layout

*TW is fugly and looks outdated when compared to stock ICS

*It wants me to "Set up software updates" but fails to process

*I can't set lockscreen or homescreen wallpaper (crashes, have tried from settings, native gallery and Quickpic. reinstall of Quickpic and reboot didn't fix)

*I can't take screenshots with good old home+power

*Every time I type something I get a notification icon about choosing which keyboard to use, annoying as fudge

I don't know if the problems I have are due to unsuccessful flash though, so I'm yet to reflash (updating with info). Otherwise I'll just wait for CM9 stable ;)
[Galaxy S II General] digz6666:
I agree with:

*TW is fugly and looks outdated when compared to stock ICS

*I can't take screenshots with good old home+power

Other cons/bugs not happening on mine :)
[Galaxy S II General] TheFluffyOne:
A few possible fixes for you...

I find that Nova launcher gives a nice "true" ICS look. Others have said that Apex launcher is good, too.

I think I have seen mention that disabling the "force GPU rendering" in the developer options can help with this.

Press volume-down and power at the exact same time and hold them for a second.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Scrolling has been changed by Google to be slightly sticker. That's an ics 'feature'.

They were never going to change the look of 20 million peoples phones. Many normal users bought the s2 beside of its tw interface.

Software updates are failing probably because its not the official release for your country, and the Samsung servers aren't updated for you yet.

Screenshots are now volume down and power

Keyboard notification is ics 'feature'
[Galaxy S II General] RDDraco:
Hard to believe its the official version release. App2SD doesn't even work

Everything was fine this morning and I still haven't experienced heating since re-enabling Swype.

Maybe Swype wasn't the problem after all....??
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
Yeah, some ppl mentioned it, how is the quality is there a rly big difference compared to the old 60kbps,44khz, mono sound? :)
[Galaxy S II General] dinoc:
I'm on default values, didn't change that but I get very often "Connection error" .

I did not have this issue in Gingerbread so it looks to me that something got broken with ICS Email client.

Does anyone know where to report bugs to Samsung?

And just notice something else, the Contacts are not shown anymore in Phone app like it used to in gingerbread.
