Hey,

ich habe bei mir ein Problem... und zwar, wenn ich das Hintergrundbild wechseln möchte kommt nach kurzer Zeit (da wo man das Bild zuschneiden kann) immer "Galerie angehalten".

Jemand da eine Idee, was ich machen kann?

Schon mal Danke
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:

Did you flash rom using kies or odin?
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Still waiting. Not on kies or OTA yet
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:

Or use the torrent.
[Galaxy S II General] Iskorptix:
I'm really sad by looking in all these stupid people who expect UK ics update to be better, how the **** it can be better without those crashes, lags and bugs if only 6 days past since they started rolling out officially ? There was also weekends so -2 days from 6, you think they managed to do something regarding this in just 4 days ? MDA....
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Any News for SPAIN ???

i have 2.3.4 FOP in Spain but no update on KIES or OTA :(

Can someone help me with some information about this ???

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Be patient, your time will come, keep checking the link posted above.
[Galaxy S II General] mbinzet:
hello orange i falshed with odin
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Excuse me?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Hmm, let's see.

XXLPQ - build date 09/03/2012

DXLP7 - build date 10/03/2012

LP7 fixed double sms sending bug, fixed some scrolling issues, so in one day they produced bug fixes, so its not impossible that the next release will be further improved.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Improvements, but probably not a rock solid ROM, and then more people will complain and complain and argh -.-

haha, we'll see :) a man can hope can't he? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Aside from the aforementioned improvements in a relatively short timespan, I'm also thinking that Samsung has people working late nights and weekends over this, don't you? There's at least some prestige riding on this "ICS for the Galaxy SII" thing.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
I take back agreeing with Iskorptix

Read here

"Samsung isn’t happy with the bugs on ICS for Galaxy S II.

Samsung may have delayed the ICS update for the Galaxy Note."

"Things that Google still hasn´t fixed in Android 4.0 is the battery.

Many people are complaining about this after the Samsung released the ICS update for the Galaxy S II."

Samsung are aware of the issues with the ROMS and are not happy with them

I'm sure they are working hard to solve the problems ASAP :)

Is the UK version releasing today for unbranded phones?
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
I think FOP users have been more than patients... 2.3.4 ???? no 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 and now no 4.???

Samsung is neglecting customers in a way really really hard to understand so why bother buying a full price phone if we don't updates before phone operators ???

Here in Spain operators based phones are already on 2.3.6 ... really frustrating.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Supposedly, however I remember when 2.3.4 was released, the network branded phones got it before the unbranded.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
We buy phones because of the hardware and software, we should be greatful for the amount of effort put into the continued Firmware support afterwards

You shouldn't buy a phone off of what "OS support it'll get in the future"

You should be buying a phone that does what you need and WORKS

The extra is like i said "extra"

:)

can anyone post link for I9100DXLP7 Separate Kernel?? link in first post is not working for me.
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
These are samsung icons, do not worry, thats how its meant to be, forget about stock ICS looks! It wont look like that, nor feel like that. Samsung adds its own stuff, using its own icons too.
[Galaxy S II General] gma388124:
Sorry what I meant was, has the release been confirmed by Samsung? Or is it just speculation?
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
I did post a mirror, check my posts a couple of pages back.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
I was just reading that too. I would prefer if they just pull and not release for UK today. If they got to many bugs then its better for us all to not have the current version. personally it took me sometime to set my phone up (placing widgets finding right software etc) i really wouldn't want to flash today only to have to do it again in a few weeks.

---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

It was confirmed but im now thinking they may pull it after i read this http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/15/ics-update-galaxy-note-maybe-delayed-by-samsung/
[Galaxy S II General] XSCounter:
Dunno guys.. I've flashed polish firmware 3 days ago and been using it quite heavily ever since. Haven't had any bugs so far, everything seems to run much smoother to me and moreover I haven't experienced the bugs mentioned in this thread like double sms or whatnot.

You are probably just doing something wrong.. Dunno where all these complaints come from.. I am more than happy with the update so far.

Will flash MIUI next Friday when initial bugs and minor overlooks are fixed. But my initial look at it was more than positive. Just wanted to test drive the "official" ROM for a week first.
[Galaxy S II General] Nitsson:
Can I pick any firmware from the list? I got my SGS2 in Sweden but I'm not sure if I can just take the latest build from Indonesia, or if I need the one from Poland?

While the firmware version is the same, the modem and CSC versions differ.

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Was just looking at Sammobile tweets and they have linked the UK CPW handset with 2.3.6 rom. That don't sound good to me. Looks like we may only be getting a uk 2.3.6 rom today.:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] kmaximax:
you do realise that Sammobile is not actually SAMSUNG mobile the company dont you!?
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
You don't say....:D

I just think its strange they would even post an old rom...
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
That is for the Galaxy Note, the s2 isn't the only Samsung phone ;p
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:

[Galaxy S II General] heshamsalah:
Can I use ROM Manager to directly install this ROM?
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
check out the RAM usage by all background apps in GB vs ICS.. it's insane.. eve with everything unecessary frozen or uninstalled in ICS, no widgets, live apps, wallpapers etc.. it still needs minimum of 265MB... standard with no tinkering GB idles at 180MB..... I think ICS just run's a lot fatter than GB and we might never see the same battery performance from it :-(.. from those with no battery issues in ICS I really would like some specifics on usage and info on you battery (mV) when at 20% charge.... really hope UK version drops today with some miracle fix!! :-)
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Sounds like the only miracle fix is "not to update". :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] nickbarbs:
What bugs? i've got nothing but rock solid performance on XEO, are you guys restoring system data along with your titanium restores or something?

Some tips here from someone getting sick battery life and performance from this rom

1. Do a full wipe of /system and /data and /cache before installing it via odin

2. If you' re doing "restore all apps + data" be aware that will also restore some samsung services from gingerbread, make sure you go through your titantium backup list app by app and are not restoring samsung services apps from gingerbread that are no longer in ICS

3. I had some issues with Camera app lagging on me, but I deleted data in titanum backup for the Camera app and its been smooth and fast ever since.

I'm really getting a strong experience with the ICS XEO release, i'm in the UK.. hopefully my tips above can help
[Galaxy S II General] danmullen:
Battery life is very disappointing. I haven't experienced any bugs or other problems with LPQ, only a ridiculously short battery life :( It appears that something is keeping the phone awake almost the entire time it's switched on.
[Galaxy S II General] amirpotter:
I see some people ask that whether to flash this ROM or not for their region now I want to ask does it make any difference if you flash a Europe ROM to a Asian device?
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
That's a classic misunderstanding about the way that Android works. Its also why so many people use essentially pointless task managers. RAM being used doesn't mean more battery is being consumed.
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
Try using the LP6 Radio. LP7 was eating up the battery, which lasted just a day. Now with LP6 I am getting at least 2 days. I haven't had the chance to do 3 charging cycles to fully confirm how long the the LP6 lasts, but I would say that it last at least twice as long as LP7.
[Galaxy S II General] modmymobile:
I have listed as many of the bugs as i could on my website http://www.modmymobile.co.uk/catego...fficial-ice-cream-sandwich-lpq-firmware-fixes With LPQ there is quite a few.
[Galaxy S II General] al_madd:
Using DXLP7 for 3 days..so far so good..

1.great battery life.

2.super smooth

3.radio works well..get fast data connection

cons

1.charging using USB takes a lot of time..im using 2000mAH..took about 5 hours from 18% to full

2.a little bit sensitive screen
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
I heard months ago that ICS was much more hungry for processor strength etc. That was given as one reason that the S2 was getting it but the S was not. So of course memory and processer usage is greater. For the extra capability of ICS there has to be a trade off.
[Galaxy S II General] Guinhu:
Uh, you see.. I'm using this ROM LPQ one, on a Brazilian device :p And I can tell you ICS is running just smoothly over here, meaning no lag at all and the battery life is pretty damn good tho, well at least for me it is. Ha and I didn't even need to configure the APN thing, all those stuffs were already there. :D
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
I thought the Ram was volatile memory? or are you saying it's 'allocated' by an app but not actually being used when you view in app manager? Since I'm talking about a situation where all user apps are closed/disabled, surely this means ICS is running more background processes that are more resource hungry than GB??

Please elaborate on your statement, are you referring to the JIT process android uses introduced in Froyo??

Andd pleeeease someone with good battery performance in ICS please tell me what millevolts (mV) your battery is putting out when your charge is getting low!!..

[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
OK, after having flashed my phone a squillion times and having no problems I flashed my wife's phone to the same DXLP7 that I just put on my phone, and it won't boot!

I have done it twice now and it's stuck at the flashing S logo, I have left it twice for a good 10 minutes at least - damn I didn't take a backup either!

Any tips apart from flash back to stock GB and start again?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Enter Stock Recovery and Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache then flash it again.
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
Anyone who has modem link of XXLPQ? Filefactory's just too mean.

[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Still no sign of ICS on three UK. By the way I read something in a Samsung ppt that said ICS won't be available OTA and only on Kies?

4.0.3? More like 4.0.4 (geek joke, dont get your hopes up about bug fixes)
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
You do realise the UK Release might not be today?

When they said 19th they'll have meant Week commencing the 19th. Meaning it could be anytime this week!
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
I really can't see it happening today.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I'm going by Techradar.

SIM free

Samsung has confirmed to TechRadar that the Galaxy S2 Ice Cream Sandwich update UK release date will be 19 March.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Yeah, they probably mean WC 19th
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Or sometime after 19th March, no one really know, but its looking doubtful for today.
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
I hope everyone waiting for the UK version just don't want to flash using Odin and would rather stick with Kies because there is absolutely no reason not to flash the XEO version for a UK phone. Flashed mine (on 3) on the first day and haven't looked back :)

Just make sure you get into recovery and do a factory reset + cache wipe first to minimise chance of stuttering after the upgrade!
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
Samsung is pulling the ultimate disaster-dishes-bf_trick.... With an audience of 20million this should go down in history for sheer scale alone... Let me elaborate:

When your missus asks you to do the dishes, you put it off, and put it off and put it off until finally you have no choice... and you do a damn ****ty job of it....

result.. Missus never asks you to do the dishes again:

Samsung users may never hassle Samsung for an Android update ever again after this.. Bravo Samsung, Bravo....
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I'm hopping that we might get a all new build for the UK release. If they just release LPQ/LP7 with UK CSC, I will never buy Samsung again!

PS. Kies is getting a lot of updates today for various other devices + GalaxyS2 for many other regions so we still have 80% chance of the update today.
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
What sort of updates to the build are you expecting? Are there major bugs that need ironing out, or things missing from the EU build?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I'm expecting some major bug fixes + optimizations. Guys the thing is that Samsung always releases their OS update in UK first but this time they went for Asia instead. Ever though why they did that? They did it because they wanted to see the feedback of the users so that they can fix it or stabilize it accordingly, As UK is the biggest Cell Phone market they didn't wanted to disappoint a vast number of their users. (It's just my thought)
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Today Kies rolled out 8 updates for various devices and regions.
[Galaxy S II General] gma388124:
Are you checking this website?

http://www.sammobile.com/kies/

Is it trustworthy source
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Lol, clearly you have no clue how the industry works mate! 1 week is not close to being enough to fix, test, QA and release an IT product. The release process is long and takes time, before they release you something, it goes into testing cycles then internal release cycles, once all that passes, you would then see a release to the public, do not expect any bugs or problems reported in LPQ or LP7 to be fixed. Unless Samsung already knew about them and already was working on them even before they released LP7. Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
Well I hope you're right! :)

If so - will we need to go through the whole recovery wipe / flash process again? I guess we'll have to wait and see..
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
** ----- round 1 - fight! ----- ** :d :d
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Hahaha, noone is fighting mate, am just explaining how the process goes, just so everyone here builds realistic expectations :)
[Galaxy S II General] mr sharpey:
But you are shattering people's dreams :D

I think we were ALL expecting a little more from such a big version change, I'm personally very happy with the new app versions, especially the email client where you can now select multiple mails and mark as read for example.

I'm in the UK, and have had issues with 3 (Three) and data connectivity. I've even sent my phone back to Samsung TWICE for repair. First time they replaced 10, yes 10 parts, second time they said there was nothing wrong. But this latest update of LPQ/7 it **seems** to have sorted it. And yes, I had the right APN settings.

So for me it's been a good update, but visually it still looks a lot like GB which I think has good a lot of users' backs up.
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
I agree, It look 100% like GB but you guys are forgetting under the hood ICS features. For example Multi-Core processor support, GB wasn't able to fully use these dual/Quad core processor.
[Galaxy S II General] Xeodus:
Yeah those improvements make me much happier using Gmail. I've also had a lot of fun with the Talk video chat where you can apply the standard goofy image effects (big mouth, big eyes etc) to the live video - it's pretty comedy to see someone realise as it slowly ramps the effect up.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Some of us weren't really bothered about under the hood,

Its like putting clothes on a hot naked blonde. Much better with them off:D
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
Dont get your hopes up on the UK ver being bug fixed. I think its more likely the reason we've had to wait is just to let other markets download theirs so we dont end up straining the servers if everyone got it at the same time.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
surely part of the fun, is being the one to RIP them clothes off a hot blonde
[Galaxy S II General] xfade23:
Ever since the upgrade to ics (XXLPQ) my videos dont have the option to repeat 1 video (loop) it only has the option in settings to "auto play next"

Why do upgrades remove features it's just not right ?

My little girl likes to watch toy story 3 on my sexy white galaxy s II but she CRIES WHEN IT FINISHES AND IT DOESNT COME BACK ON cos they removed the repeat option!! what if it goes onto one of my porns after toy story 3 finishes or god forbid one of me and my girlfriends home made videos.

Also why dont videos auto play in lanscape only,like on my old galaxy s gti9000..why would i want to watch a HD movie or HD music video in portrait? ive ended up having to use an app called smart rotator so that my videos automatically play in landscape only.

Also theyve changed the camera so that i cant mute the shutter sound or the auto focus sound cos it still beeps when my phone is on silent...this is another feature thats been altered in the ics upgrade....i cant take sneaky pictures anymore.
[Galaxy S II General] manalicream:
Hi guys,

Complete newbie here. I wanted to update via Kies, but I'm getting the "Kies does not support Firmware updates." I believe this is a CSC issue as I'm in China and the phone is KOR, so I want to use Odin.

Here are my details:

PDA: 19100ZSKE7

PHONE: 19100XXKE4

CSC: 19100OZSKE7

Which version from the front page can I use? Also can I restore a backup with Kies after?

Let me know,

BREAKING NEWS!: Samsung released kernel sources!
[Galaxy S II General] cta102:
In some parts of the world manufacturers are legally obliged to provide a shutter sound, to stop people from taking sneaky pictures.

Therefore it causes less issues by enabling a shutter sound in all countries, and the potential of turning off that sound in the wrong country and rendering your company liable to prosecution.

Addition from Wikipedia:

I actually suspect that this requirement is more widespread than the Camera Phone entry states

Quote:

In South Korea and Japan, all camera phones sold in the country must make a clearly audible sound whenever a picture is taken: These laws are intended to reduce the number of up-skirt photos taken.

LP7 Bugs

Hi,

Just want to add this post and will keep updating it, the installation i have is:

LP7 ROM with LP6 Modem, rooted with CF-Root 5.4

Problems I am facing:

Battery life, not impressive at all. "But I have not tested this properly yet, as i flashed the LP6 Modem hours ago"

Screen response when inside games like "Draw Something" its definitely heavy, back in GB it was awesome smooth, on ICS, you can barely draw something decent. But other than inside games, the device is not choppy and you would barely feel any difference. Thought its slightly slower than GB.

I personally have root for one major reason, to remove Ads, but on ICS, the ADFree app is not working.

You cannot change the wallpaper if you have "Force 2D rendering" enabled.

For some reason, i am not able to update Google Earth, keeps saying that my device is not supported.

A new bug i spotted, please confirm if you have it as well: If you for example add all 7 home screens, next try to remove them, try removing two, for me, i can remove one, but then cannot remove any other one, until i save, edit again and then i am able to remove another "one" only.

A good feature removed: When we used to add widgets to the home screen, there used to be some feedback on where the widget would be, on ICS, you add widgets without that area feedback, kinda sucks.

Bluetooth problem, ever since i flashed ICS, i am unable to use my in car Bluetooth! Did pair, but does not connect, and when i try to unpair it, it simply does not work, ignores my request to unpair!
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
Simular problem here.

Titanium Backup Pro (8.4.4.1) also stops while making backups. It hangs at 1a certain %

Unmounting the SD-card also didn't help.

Removing the SD-card also didn't help.

Of course usb debugging is on

This is since I installed ICS XXLPQ.

I deleted data for both and uninstalled both: TB & TBPro. Then I reinstalled both. Sometimes this is a solution. Today I made 3 incremental backups a-i i-p p-z

Seems DXLP7 has brought a solution.

From the TB - Troubleshooting FAQ

Titanium Backup hangs while freezing apps, restoring apps or other actions. What should I do?

You might have incorrect permissions (eg: 04755) on your "su" binary, which causes problems with some root apps.

Open a shell and do:

su

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/busybox chmod 06755 /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

Once it's done, reboot your device and try again.​

... no solution

Must we wait for an ICS update? or ....
