Well with bare use my phone gets up to 3+ days but mine bare use was a little WiFi and 3G surfing, a couple of video recordings, a few photos and a few calls. It got upto 3 days and 3 hrs and still had 40% battery but I decided to charge it overnight.

I'm currently 16 hrs on battery and it's @ 80% with the same usage. One of the main reasons I stuck with LPQ to be honest :D
[Galaxy S II General] eRPeeX:
I presume you only look at your phone while he is off? The most of us use the phone active for more than 5 hours a day!
[Galaxy S II General] ggravier:
The reason they do a per country / per CSC update is to avoid the whole planet downloading at the same time from Samsung servers and the whole architecture crashing and everybody (instead of just you) complaining. :)

Also, by doing a rollout in waves, they get a chance to iron out some of the last bugs as they are put in production in some countries, and fix them for the next ones. Yeah... software HAS bugs. Always will.

I really cannot believe you! I never got my battery to get more then 2 days. ( this was a custom rom AndyRom v 3 ) With I9100DXLP7 I only got like maximum 20 hours with wifi on all the time. I think that is very important to heave wifi all the time on because back when I was using Iphone 4 I always had the wifi on (I miss the battery life on that phone - but compered to I9100 not to lets say a Wildfire where you have a lot more juice ).Now I am giving a try to Thebyani Rom V3.5 to see if the battery life improves.

I think that ICS should consume less battery since it is more optimized for dual core use. What I am trying to say is that sir I don't think that you can have 3 days and 40% , maybe only if you leave the screen off all the time....
[Galaxy S II General] astro_man26:
Coming from I9100DXLP7, do I have to wipe?

Long battery life is possible especially if you don't use the phone very much!

The above usage of mine was with WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS all turned on for the whole time!

Anything for the UK yet?

I installed LPQ last night with XEU CSC and have to say its running pretty good, initially battery drain rather fast, but after a full charge last night so far so good and with Apex lanucher all looks decent.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
nothing in the UK yet -

i keep checking FUS - nothing yet

O2 confirmed to me yesterday that beginning of April they will start rollout

Never known Samsung to release roms over the weekend. Next week dude.:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:

Hello,

Can anyone test LP2 with bluetooth Headset or car player ?

Is that stable ?

Does the song name appears on car player ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
chances are this bug wont have been fixed yet..

this builds are only a couple days apart, dont expect huge improvements yet

- ive tested bluetooth with my laptop and tablet - used for tethering my tablet
[Galaxy S II General] Galaxy s2:
Thanks butt won't download to phone:(
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
I'm happy with the battery life. I had an uptime of 11 hours during which time I browsed the net constantly for 30 mins, listened to the radio for 4 hours and listened to 448kbps AAC for maybe 2 hours. Battery was partially charged (maybe 95%) and when I checked it had gone down to 67%.

I think this is decent. I'm sure before ICS it was probably draining to around 60%. It looks like when I was listening to the radio that the phone now goes into a low power state, where before, I think the phone was considered "awake"
[Galaxy S II General] cta102:
I would also suggest that you look at the sheer number of rollouts that Samsung are doing for other phones and operating systems at the moment.

the SamFirmware twitter feed will give you an idea of the minions of Samsung are having to deal with.

No I'm not making excuses for them, but I know what rollouts are like from the other side, with false starts and delays on one rollout delaying every other release
[Galaxy S II General] ballmead:
Does anyone have a pdroid patch for LPQ ?

Currently is it even possible to make one?

Sorry to ask but I'm away from my PC at the moment any news on UK unbranded ROM today
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
nothing, and probably not a rollout on a friday
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
What makes you think that dude.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Willosy:
Any help with this one?

Is the Check FUS version the same as the one linked to on first page, untouched Official Stock ROM???
[Galaxy S II General] pirate1640:
For UK users XXLPQ works perfectly for unbranded UK phones. i would highly recommended since it looks like that updates will come through the phone network.

i am with T-mobile and i would never consider installing their extras.

FYI, if you follow the instructions in this forum their is nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S II General] consmast:
Issue with scrolling

I have upgraded the firmware to official LPQ. Do you experience issues with scrolling? It works much worse than in previous official 2.3.3. I feel like moving a paper on the table: sometimes it follows my finger, sometimes not.

Is it an issue with the touch screen? Calibration? Software? Anything else?

Can it be improved with next SW versions?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
yes, these roms are untouched

also links in my signature are untouched Rom
[Galaxy S II General] strenkp:
ICS fail!

46% on GB after 1,5day.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
this appears to be a known issue, i think some people said lp7 was a little better but still an issue
[Galaxy S II General] Willosy:
I don't think it's epic fail on ICS, I have LPQ and while users have reported it to be buggy, I see some merit in the complaints eg:- a little screen lag and random freezes. Whilst I have seen some of this it isn't what I'd call "an issue" the lag is microseconds and the freeze is sometime opening or switching between multiple apps which I something I have experienced on Stock iOS releases.

My battery on first getting an S II a few weeks ago on GB was ****e so I got Juice Defender it improved but not happy. My venture to ICS was a giant leap for me, loved it and not looking back. Battery is lasting great with minimal use, but as I love the phone and the screen is magic, I use it more and more for general email and web use if the screen size isn't an issue and therefore battery life is around 1.5 days with medium use.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
i have to agree with you

im currently on lp2 and will see how the drain is by the end of the day ... im a heavy user with wifi pretty much always enabled...so we'll see
[Galaxy S II General] Willosy:
Thank you. Are these non-wipe like the original LPQ Check FUS versions????

Why would Check FUS CRC failing the ROM???
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
yes, i have flashed a not wiped the phone before doing so

just the details, make sure you are select correct phone and country etc.

what are you selecting...ill test for you
[Galaxy S II General] Sizuke:
Why so much delay on UK unbranded and why they give 3uk the update to pass on to their customers when the update of their direct customers is not ready?!

I really don't get it!
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Neither does anyone else:(
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
they dont GIVE the update to them....all networks have the update - and then its up to the network to chuck all their bloat and crap on it.

3 were just first to do it - o2 have said they will rollout beginning of April

why they havent release unbranded...i dont know...but you can always flash the lpq or lp7 if you really are desperate for it
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
Perhaps the networks are actually doing their job for once. Updates always seem delayed by carriers 'testing' which we all assume to be them adding their bloat etc. Perhaps they actually are trying and have found the release to be too buggy. Three might have rushed through the testing process knowing how annoyed people get at delayed updates which is why theirs is out now. Samsung might not be happy with the ics update too hence not releasing to unbranded users, who potentially are the more 'tech-savvy'.

All speculation though, i don't really know.
[Galaxy S II General] Willosy:
I'm going to flash LP2 onto my phone same as I did LPQ, LPQ version I'm currently running is XXLPQ which was downloaded via choosing Poland from list of ROMS on CheckFUS, I was planning on using CheckFUS and selecting Russian ROM which contains English and is based on LP2. But as I can't seem to get CheckFUS to CRC the ROM correctly I was going to download Official untouched ROM in first page.

Why only LPQ or LP7, LP2 is out????
[Galaxy S II General] pirate1640:
Notes for better battery life.

I noticed that if you use protection option (pin, face rec...) for the lock screen battery life increases. The reason for that, is the weather app that you can use on the lock screen which seems to not working properly.

About the wi-fi issue that few ppl had. Wifi renew ip is working only if you switch off wi-fi and put it on again. In my case i renew all the house devices. At work (BT routers) i had no problem connecting.

For battery performance try the advance task killer (free version) works wonders.
[Galaxy S II General] MasselMillerM:
When is it finished? :)
[Galaxy S II General] officiallyme:
the first post relates to the 3-part wipe firmware. but there is none available.

is there a reason to that? or is it available elsewhere?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
This is now ready to download - for all the files you need.
[Galaxy S II General] Iskorptix:
An amazing amazing update from Samsung, can't believe that screen lag is now finally fix, it feels that I'm holding iPhone which means that iPhones has no longer any advantage over Androids, many other fixes , THANKS!

Many thanks @xmoo for his fast mirror! I'm very excited about this one, let's testdrive that baby!

HI

I just upgrade to LPQ via KIES everything is fine...

I'm from Denmark
[Galaxy S II General] colin12345:
Thanks for the tip. Just bought Mobile Odin Pro. It worked a treat! :cool:

I came from a custom ICS Rom so I chose to clear the cache too.
[Galaxy S II General] omaga:
LPQ downloaded via Kies in Finland
[Galaxy S II General] davis2503:
If this is for baltic too, i might get it, but i'm not at home :(
[Galaxy S II General] zyrgoth:
baltic is out also, yeah
[Galaxy S II General] lambgeo:
i istalled also cfroot and i have the problem with sd .... how to solve it ????
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
On which firmware were you guys on before the update?
[Galaxy S II General] Osmosae:
EDIT: Nevermind i was in the wrong odin version as far as i can tell :)
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
this is the HIDSWVER you need - I9100XWLP2/I9100OXELP4/I9100XXLPQ/I9100XWLP2

i just downloaded via checkFUS fine

just users have said that these 2 are confirmed "fine" lp7 supposedly being th ebetter of the 2

im running lp2 with no current issues that i havent experienced in other version..so meh
[Galaxy S II General] Willosy:
Ahhh Okay. But the HIDSWVER is the one you get by selecting Russia??

I'll try again...
[Galaxy S II General] ragaisis:
Hey, i've got sgs2 with I9100XXKL1/I9100OXAKL1/I9100XXKL1/I9100XXKL1.

Tried to install:

I9100XXLPQ Download (FileFactory) | Mirror (HotFile)

Base Firmware: I9100XXLPQ (4.0.3)

Region Poland (XEO)

Build Date: 9th March 2012

Modem: XXLPQ

CSC: OXALPQ

Change List: 223505

Kernel Version: 3.0.15

CF-Root v5.4 LPQ: Download

Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)

Separate Modem: Download (.TAR)

Installed it with ODIN, but my phone stuck on loading... It only shows S and do nothing...

What should i do to make my phone work again? Is it a bad version of ICS for my phone? Should i do something with kernel or modem?

Thanks for helping in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I would try and reflash the complete .tar again

flash the LP7 one, then once you got that booted, flash the CF_root and you should be ok,

if you can get to download mode, you're not completely ****ed
[Galaxy S II General] ragaisis:
I downloaded and extracted firmware

put sgs2 to download mode (home+volume down + power)

opened odin and selected PDA: I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5

clicked start.

That is all i do and it is not working. because when it is installed (ODIN shows green Passed) it shows green android having magic-power bubble in his stomach (like installing his core), then phone restarts and shows only loading screen (S Samgung galaxy S II) and thats all...

Then i gave up.

Also tried to download CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 and root phone by instructions in 1st post (same as flashing with odin, just next file). But it didn't helped :/

Any advice?
[Galaxy S II General] DMac93:
Reflash the cf-root then boot into recovery.. Do factory wipe in there.

Then start over with Odin and flash official ICS. The problem is always failing to do the factory wipe.

I've done this with several phones several times with same problem and works every time.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Samsung have many mirrors and plenty of Bandwidth. If your arguement was correct then the XEU and other branded SGS1's would not have got Gingerbread at the same time. Even HTC carriers in america are now embarrassing Samsung by rolling out ICS ahead of them. Also Samsungs absolute silence is the poorest bit of customer service you can get. Even Asus answer my questions within a day.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Are ppl still growing grey hair over ICS.:p To be honest i got nothing to complain about, after all when i purchased my SGS2 it wasn't with a promise from Samsung that I'd get ICS;).. To me getting ICS is a bonus, cause if Samsung said there wasn't going to be an ICS update for the SGS2 then I'd only have to find the money to buy another mobile that came with it. So thanks for saving me a crap load of cash Samsung:D... See ICS when it gets here.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Dmonty:
+1 and for those whom are complaining, just download and install one of the Official Samsung GS2 ICS builds, LPQ etc....
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
I am curious why people are still installing LPQ when there are two newer and better versions. LP7 and LP2. :confused:

Language support?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
well "better" has been debatable - some people have LPQ fine with no issues at all

whilst others have had issues, so its about what seems to work for you
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
I suppose, but the scrolling and touch response in lpq was awful for me and many others apparently.
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
true, i was fine with it, ive just flashed each version to confirm functions.

lp7 only has a day later build date i wouldnt have expected bugs to be fixed, but whatever works for you.

LP2 for me has appeared good, seems that my phone is running cooler... i experienced alot of heat on other versions
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Running lp2 now also. So far so good.
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
Boot into recovery, select factory reset, then once its completed reboot, it will then go into set up wizard for ICS. It's a common problem coming from GB to ICS. Had to do this myself.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberon:
Quick question, do we still have banding on contacts top bar?
[Galaxy S II General] Toxic17:
couldn't agree more.
[Galaxy S II General] arturvt:
Anyone did the update to the LP2 with and Brazilian device?

Another thing: Google Chrome still unstable?
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
I agree in principle. But the technology has shifted from the old symbian what you buy is what you get situation. You aren't buying a phone anymore, you are buying a handheld computer.

People buy Android devices so they can update and have the latest OS...

Imagine if you bought a PC from HP.. and HP put all this stuff infront of the windows interface so you couldn't get updates that microsoft released until HP had messed about with them?? I don't think you would accept it.

Now I know we could have bought Vanilla android with the Nexus.. but I think we are in a transition, as the sooner the manufacturers realise they need to treat us like we are buying a PC 'hardware' the better...

ps, I know its far more complicated than this, and there are reasons why things are the way they are.. but I think it;s a valid point that this is where peoples frustrations come from...
[Galaxy S II General] Crustyloaf:
Never noticed it until now but yes, there is banding. (LP2). It looks like it might be a deliberate attempt to produce a graduation effect.
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
What do u mean by banding? And is this new rom better than lp7?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
dont expect huge improvements - all these first set of roms will have the issues mentioned im sure
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
dude i have to disagree with a number of your points here.

1. People do not buy an android just to update it. thats a hole loada cash just to keep updating it. Still the majority of people use these devices as a phone only with 1 or 2 exceptions (calender, diary os forth)

2. When you buy windows OS, Lets say windows vista for example, You WILL NOT GET WINDOWS 7 FREE you still have to pay to get the latest version.... So Being that ICS is a Major upgrade from GB and its coming free i think we should count our selves lucky.:rolleyes:

3. Who buys HP nowadays... LMAO. That's me being picky.:D

4. Why get frustrated with a phone upgrade not being released on time. In-truths your still gonna make calls and receive them, Your alarm for your next appointment is still going to happen. You still gonna download from the market place. And your still gonna get the highest score on your fav game. A late release of ICS and you still using GB is not gonna stop this from happening.

I'm just thankfull that Samsung and others havn't charged users for this upgrade. I do believe that if people keep moaning and pushing manufactures in they way they currently are then that will soon change.

Bottom line....... chill out "ICS un-branded via Kies is coming to your handset very soon".....:p
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
and lets me honest if you REALLY want ICS...

then you can just install lp7 or lp2 and it'll be the same

so...off you trot
[Galaxy S II General] helppme:
ok

1. I'm not saying they buy it with the sole purpose of upgrading as an end in itself. But some people like the fact that it's an 'open' OS and that updates would appear.

2. This is a non argument as you are basing it on a hypothetical 'we pay for android OS'.. this is false, Android OS is free.. so why would we expect to pay samsung for something that is available from source, free??? I get your point but like I say doesn't discount my original argument..

3.. well you get my point.. nice side step ;-)

4. At no point did I say people were 'justified' in getting upset.. I merely said you could understand where the frustration may come from. You are right.. it's not worth making a big deal about. The phone still does it's thing. I also think its only time before we pay for OS updates, it;s a natural progression. Until then, my point still stands. But I'd be willing to entertain any more 'solid' rebuttal :-)
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
ROLMAO.....:D Look no more complaints.... why..... cause everyone has in-stalled the latest from XDA.:eek:

Oh shouldn't have said that..... why...... cause there all back complaing because ICS has got bugs....... ROLMFAO.:D

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

I think we are gonna have to agree to dis-agree on this...... But.........

ICS is still coming via kies to a handset near you very soon.:D
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
someone will always complain...but in this case there is a solution..

install manually -

oh wait... theres errors...well i expect these errors will be here when you update via kies
[Galaxy S II General] xZeDgEx:
Yea this looks like its on purpose. Not sure why its such a big deal.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s2-ics-update-frustrating-sim-free-owners-50007431/ Seems like Cnet have heard the complaints.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
I love the statement.....

"Samsung UK is working hard to bring Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to our Galaxy S II customers. We are unable to confirm exact dates as the software testing and approval process is subject to several variables, but we are working as quickly as we can. Thank you for your patience."

I said this in one of my previous post "Samsung has one guy with one phone testing all regions of ICS who in turn has to upload all roms via 56kb telephone line. Thats only only reason why i could think they are working hard.:D
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
I agree, today seems to be another day with nothing released for the i9100, the one guy is a bit $hit
[Galaxy S II General] horrorist:
They might work hard and eventually finnish the job but after that it`ll be the carriers` job to "spread the words" which imho this will take the longest time.
[Galaxy S II General] 3tybagig:
Just giving feedback on the roms

I tried:

I9100XXLPQ (rom, modem and kernel)

Couldn't sms. crashed every time

Launcher crashed a lot too.

Switched to

I9100DXLP7 (rom, modem and kernel)

No issues so far. But it's only half a day of testing. Let you know if there are any issues.
