[Galaxy S II General] PoOoZaQ:
Can't download it!!!

I might be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to download the linked file. It keeps throwing me on a FileFactory site saying all free download spots are taken. I've been trying this for approx. 24 hours straight.

Is there a different location I can download this from?

Also, this firmware is appropriate for not only European phones right?

Thanks!

I've been trying at different times throughout the last 3 days as well PoOoZaQ and still no joy. I thought it might have been as a result of a FileFactory cookie within the browser I was using, since I had previously downloaded the Polish ICS ROM successfully and since then I couldn't download anything else, but I get the same in other browsers too.

I've never used FileFactory until downloading ROMs from this thread but they seem to be crap! Obviously this is not directed towards the OP whatsoever as it's not their fault, it's just annoying when you're trying to get the latest ROM and you hit a roadblock.

On a seperate note, the reason I'm looking to this thread again after successfully flashing the Polish ICS ROM is because it seems ever since ICS, people on the other end of the phone have commented on intermittent clicking sounds and/or interference. I was going to try the UK modem or UK ICS ROM to see if this resolved the issue, since it didn't happen with the previous Gingerbread UK ROM I had, but I'll have to wait until I can get a free FileFactory download slot first.

[Galaxy S II General] ChainsawDude:
Can we trust this download?

I would like to ask if we can trust this firmware?

I have no evidence that we can not trust the firmware in the OP but my suspicion is that people who use FileFactory are usually out to make money (as you have to pay a fee to FileFactory), so I wonder what they may have added to the firmware? :confused:

It is also bl**dy anoying until you work out that the "free FileFactory download" does not exists, on top of the debacle from Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Borisdmitri:
almost everybody here used those files.

Samsung doesn't put those files there, developers from XDA do.

if you don't trust them in the first place, why are you here?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
You have a choice as to believing that an XDA user has put something in an upload but in that case you are wasting your time on XDA its not a warez forum .

Personally i would use CHECKFUS for a direct download if i required O2 ICS firmware .

[Galaxy S II General] Omia28000:
With all Samsung devices the smartphones they have the Increasing Ring issue so when a call comes in the volume of the ring gradually increase even though you do not have Increasing ring Option. So in order to stop the incremental issue, based on the Firmware you have to modify the Phone.apk file to stop the Increasing ring issue. and that's what I am looking for this firmware.

Can someone confirm if the Increasing ring issue is still present on this?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Guess so as the custom mods specifically remove the increasing ringtone in many ICS roms .

How is LP3 compared to LP7???

Hi all.

I just wanted to know from anyone who has used both LP3 and LP7 which they prefer and why?

Im using LP7 at the moment, is it worth leaving it for LP3?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Yes but GB is even better .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Omia28000:
So then that means that if I was to extract the Phone.apk file from one of the Custom ROMS that are Deodexed such as Wanamlite ROMS and replace the Phone.apk file it should be fine? Or I have to look for custom ROMS that specifically mention "No Incremental Ringtone" or something like that?

Touchwiz 3D swipe effect

I just did a non-wip update from I9100XXLPB to I9100XXLPQ, added CF-root, changed back to old bootloader and jigged it - no problems whatsoever, smooth as silk.

However, it seems like the 3D TW swipe effect that I rather liked is now gone. Is there some way to get it back again?
[Galaxy S II General] whalemonster:
Overall impression is that LPQ is much faster and more stable than LPH/LPB - graphical glitches seem to be gone too, e.g. no juddering when exiting apps list back to home screen.

Changing lock screen wallpaper (either through Settings/Display or by selecting a picture in Gallery and choosing "Set as") still locks up and crashes Gallery, so as far as I can tell there's still no way of changing the lock screen wallpaper. Suggestions welcome. :-)

Tried Trebuchet again but it's still buggy - adding home screen widgets causes it to crash.

Touchwiz 3D home screen animation effect has been removed since LPH.

Will keep playing and report back with anything interesting...

Ok I have a T-Mobile GS2, And the other week I put the European ICS on there via odin ( I900XXLPQ) can I install this o2 version of the software even though I'm on t-mobile? And secondly is it worth upgrading from I900XXLPQ to I9100XWLP3? Whats the difference, apart from the branding?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] lyriquidperfection:
Loving this XWLP3 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bipolar bear:
thats basically what i did. i have an unlocked GS2 originally on tmobile. i put on LPQ which went fine, i also changed the csc from TMU to XEU which did a factory reset. i have now put on intratech's de-branded LP3, non-wipe. i cant notice much difference between the two but battery life is better than GB for me and internet seems faster on 3G/H than GB.

btw mods that noob vid is trippy - i had to have a lie down afterwards... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] +++MadMatt+++:
Thanks for the reply, how did you unlock your gs2? Because I just tried another sim and it asked for an unlock code. And sorry for sounding like a noob at this but what is csc? and why did u change it from TMU to XEU? I want to also put on a de-branded version of this, is it called Frankenstein? I have had problems with wifi on LPQ, did yours cut out when you were using it?
[Galaxy S II General] bipolar bear:
i bought it off ebay already unlocked. having said that i just unlocked a wildfire with a code i bought off ebay for like £4 so it should be pretty cheap. i think i changed the csc cos the debranding guide on another quite well-known site had that as part of the procedure and i didnt know any better at the time. tbh it probably doesnt matter unless u want to use kies, then the firmware/csc/country all have to match or kies won't like it. at least i think thats how it works. i've not had any wifi problems on LPQ or LP3, except I find 5GHz reception to be very poor, so i use 2.4GHz.

Observations of O2 ICS.

Bug with media scanning that sometimes rapes the battery.

Camera app seems a bit slower and chunkier than GB. Also cannot mute camera sounds; in gb camera could be muted.

Already had a Samsung map process error when deleting a text in gosms.

Web browser has one REALLY annoying problem for me, on KK5 the browser has a kind of deliberately insensitivity to horizontal scrolling such that when scrolling vertically a column of text would stay in view. ICS browser doesn't have that so have to continuously reposition left and right, most annoying!

Did a full wipe before installation and I'm using siyah kernel and Intratech's frankenstein version.
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
Also another weird little bug-when I select a vibrate mode the vibration icon briefly flashes up in the notification area for a split second then disappears. Don't understand that.

Dial delay

Ahoy.

After going from GB to ICS (LPQ at first, now LP3 O2), I am experiencing a weird issue when attempting to dial a contact.

No matter if dialing from my contacts or by using a direct dial shortcut from my homescreen, the dialing is delayed by ~30 secs. Phone doesn't freeze, i can still get back to my homescreen or use apps.

It goes even so far that if I receive a call in the meantime, it would put the incoming call on hold and dial out after a while.

This behaviour does not happen immediately after restarting the phone, but after a while - 15 minutes for example, without having used other apps, widgets whatsoever. Before that verything works ok.

Dialer is stock, contacts are as well, using TW. I have wiped the phone during the upgrade to ICS. I am in Europe, no connectivity issues at all, except for these annoying delays when dialing.

Today I've reverted back to GB2.3.6 - everything back to normal.

If anyone has any idea what could cause this issue - it would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II General] aRc.:
Not sure if serious or sarcastic :p

Either way, Gingerbread (or 'GB') is much more stable. So until a fully stable ICS becomes available, I'm sticking to this one. It's like going back to XP from Vista ;)

I agree. It's clearly not ready as many have discovered, including me. GB is definitely faster, more responsive and much more reliable I think.

Anyone got a I9100O2ULP4 CSC spare?

Could everyone take pity on a noob flasher (many puns intended) and post a link to the "I9100O2ULP4" O2 UK CSC (just a CSC file for Odin, NOT a complete firmware) - I have flashed an open "European" version on my G2S and now have my CSC listed as KOR (and no option to change via the 276*IMEI# command either!).

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Bayint Naung:
I really cannot see any changes in ICS.

Same touchwiz UI, calendar, contact, etc are samsung skin. not google holo theme.

UI is also not smoother.

For me, google chrome beta and face unlock are the only features in official samsung ICS. :D
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
you also have better camera colour (warmer), stereo recording, data usage planner, rotate animation from lanscape to portret and vice versa also better usage of dual core thus better battery. Gb is so last year :)

BTW Chrome browser is the best thing ever happened to mobile phones. It is the best browser from all the platforms.

Hi,

Can anyone confirm whether Gemini App Manager works succesfully for "blocking" apps in this ICS realease?

I am currently using Resurrection ROM but for some reason Gemini doesn't work, I'm looking to go back to GB if I can't use Gemini to kill some apps to save battery, but if it works on 'Samsung ICS" I'll give that a shot.

One more question; the latest LP3 firmware that is listed as Carrier "O2 UK" - is this a branded firmware or is it just straight Samsung TW ICS?

If you want to do it right (removing Bloatware and O2 Stuff) go for Lightning Rom 2.5 and you will not be disappointed! TW is in, and Siyah b7 too,

I havent seen anyone talk about this so here we go:

Any one else with the O2 LP3 Rom getting straight up full device freezes when plugging in an MHL adapter?

I plug it into my MHL -> HDMI adapter and 2 seconds later the whole phone freezes, then i've gotta do a power button 6 second hold to turn off and on again.

Wondering if anyone has MHL working on LP3 so that I can reflash or something...

Otherwise everything works great so this is annoying :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] marsexpress:
Agree with most of the above. ICS is barely release candidate.

I've had more problems, wifi was stuck on turning on, I then locked my screen and it never woke up again.

Also in gosms the text cursor was stuck near the first line and I couldn't properly see what I was typing nor move the cursor properly for editing.

May have to go back to gb.

Anyone else having the issue when plugging the charger in the phone that the phone thinks it's being USB connected? Or worse: when unplugging (!) the charger (!), it says "USB Connected"?

I've had that issue several times now, on both LPQ and LP7. I'm a little worried the USB connector in the phone is broken (or the charger). It drives me nuts, as often the phone crashes afterwards and needs a battery pull to get back to working.

Also, Google Voice continuously starts itself up and changes the entire look of the phone. That, I did not have in LPQ. Might revert back to that, or take the Polish one just posted, if it's any good.

Thank you, will give that a try!

Especially now that connecting my phone to my computer through the USB cable isn't working anymore either... Man, this is a headache.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Well guys, looks like I'm in trouble. My phone will not connect to my charger or my USB anymore. Tried everything: rebooting, take out battery, USB debugging enabled, USB debugging disabled, different ports in my computer, update Samsung drivers, clean the USB socket. Nothing works.

This first started happening with LPQ (at least, it would think I unplugged a USB cable, while I was in reality plugging in the charger), but now on LP7 it's taken a turn for the worse. USB seems completely dead. The phone is brand spanking new (a mere 3 weeks old), so I have no idea what could be the cause of this.

Is this related to LP7, can I solve this, or is the phone just FUBAR?

Intermittent Data

I have an unlocked SG 11 from Clove. updated to XXLPR O2 and all is working well. The only problem I have is with data. I am with Orange and sometimes I get it and sometimes nothing.

yesterday, the phone was showing an H and I was showing a full signal of 4 bars, but no internet or emails. Moved to a different area and still showing a H but only 2 bars and the internet works fine.

Is this simply Orange being crap or is there another update on the data side I need to do?

There are APN's on the phone and I think they are ok. this was doing this before the ICS update.

[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
if this was doing this before the ics update then it could be just orange being ****.

but not really for discussion in this thread atm
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Will it charge if its turned off? If no, dont blame the ROM then its hardware. take the battery out for a while, but i still suspect the socket, take a tootbrush! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Shut down the phone and plug the Ac Charger... if the phone starts to charge de battery while is off, the problem is software related... otherwhise is probably a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
I'll use that trick to check the problem. Right now, I did the following:

Plugged and unlugged the charger several times, until I had the "USB Connected" notification lined up with the charger being plugged in.

Plugged the charger in, restarted the phone. Upon booting, the phone recognized the charger and said 'Charging' in the lock screen.

Unplugged the charger, plugged the USB cable in. It recognized it as a USB cable and started downloaded Samsung Drivers from Windows Update on my computer. Upon completion, it opened the storage. So right now, I have contact with my phone, at least.

I'm copying the original GB stock firmware the phone came with to my SD card now, so no matter what happens, I'll be able to revert through Mobile Odin Pro and take it to the store without getting warranty hassles. We'll see what happens. I'll definitely try that checking thing you mentioned though. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Good call about Mobile Odin Pro, but be sure if really a hardware related problem, otherwise it will be useless to take the phone to the store... they will only reinstall original software and keep you phone for about a week.
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Haha! That's actually solid advice, appreciate it. Good news though: I just did what you told me to (turn off phone, plug charger in, see what happens) and after 5 seconds of praying, the Battery Icon popped up and the phone is now charging. Huge sigh of relief, obviously.

So that makes it a software problem. Really strange; I still can't understand why it does this every now and then. Thinking the charger is a USB device is weird in itself, but thinking I'm connecting something while I'm actually DISconnecting something and vice versa is just plain idiotic.

Thanks for this help so far though. For now, we'll say it's a software issue. Time to flash something else. Either reverting back to LPQ or all the way to GB.
