Meh

Dealing with GPS probs, notification loss and battery issues aren't really worth it if you need your phone for professional reasons. But, I have found that the more recent builds and modems are pretty good, so I have been using them. Voice search is a TON better in ICS. That is enough for me. Just don't restore GB data to your ICS ROM, and you should be pretty stable. Also, the GPS trick works pretty well too.

At this point I would love a stripped down gingerbread at his point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Kind of a buyer beware thing. I always get a good laugh at people that install a leak, then say things like, " I need this feature to work so I won't use your rom" (almost always refering to a known issue that is pointed out in the OP) If you need all of your phones functions to work ... don't use a leaked build! lol There is a reason it's not an official build released to the masses. It's not done yet! Not directed at you, or even your post, just reminded me of the many posts I've seen regarding leaks, betas and alphas. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwesomeTurtle:
Closest thing you'll get to that is the CM7 bubby thingamabob. No one else is going to do anything for Gingerbread anymore because everyone's infatuated with ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
I am using TSF Shell fine on fc22 build and chrome is still on beta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
Some thoughts:

Um. TSF Shell runs fine on ICS. I bought it, too. (I don't care for it, but it DOES run just fine.)

Yeah, actually, ICS lets you make all the custom folders you want, drag and drop style, like iOS, natively, unlike Gingerbread, so you can do all that "120+ apps per screen" too, with just stock ics: it just doesn't have all the fancy transitions that TSF Shell does (it feels kind of silly, though, comparing a launcher apk to a full operating system, I must admit.).

???

So change your font: You can put a custom font in ICS the same way you can in Gingerbread.

Do both.

The answer is ICS.

I went back to gb for battery life and stability
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
Awwwww snap! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
The largest improvement from GB to ICS is hardware accelerated Web browsing. For example ios5 which is the first ios to have hardware acceleration browsing scores 90k on browsermark while the et4g scores 35k on GB and 110k+ on ICS. Yes, faster Web for porn. No, he didn't go there!

For those who don't know you can't compare quadrant benchmarks with iPhone vs. Android. So you need to use other benchmarking tools such as my example with browsermark
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
So if I use dolphin hd or some other non stock browser, do I still get the full benefits of the acceleration?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I'm not sure about dolphin, but chrome beta and stock browser utilize it. Any score near 100k it's using it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] freecharlesmanson:
I personally wont touch Ics until it's official caulkin made flawless gb roms which I stripped and added a few things back in .... flawless gps with fc22 modem and network location and a2dp works fine I use it every day for music in my car...... also with the ability to under volt and change the governor out....Ics will never match gb roms until it has source
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
I got an 81k with dolphin but I'm on low battery which I'm assuming would have an effect? I'll test again after a charge. Thanks for bringing this up. Someone should test the available browsers and post the results. I'll do it if no one else wants to or has already.

I am getting around 80k no matter which browser i use and charging makes no difference. I'm on the repack fc22 kernel. Can't seem to find a thread about this but I should maybe stop hijacking this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atticuspoint6:
My aw snap was only because i thought i.c.yes was such a terrible joke it was funny. For the record I don't flame people on the internets. Even though many deserve it. Not referring to anyone in this thread, but would it kill people to proofread their comments? Please don't drag me into a who flamed who discussion. I don't care, tss sucks, this is the internet, don't take anything to serious.

I do think you wrote a well thought out breakdown of your opinion of ics vs gb, but I think you should switch, ics is WAY past the initial leak stages when so much was broken. I've been using it for a month, followed directions and did clean installations or switched to the stock kernel when needed, and it has been great! Thanks devs! My only compliant is that as soon as I get one of these roms setup, there is a new one being released. Boo fricken hoo to me I guess. Switch, you won't be sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
Wow: @Jpkelly:

Get defensive much?

First of all, I wasn't "flaming" you:

I was offering my opinion on your post (which is what happens in a forum), and I did it without having to write 96 lines of text to do so.

Just because someone replies to you doesn't mean they're flaming you. Would you rather be in a "forum" where no one interacts?

(I wouldn't).

Also, this:

You just need to chill out, there, IMHO...You took someones comment (that WASN'T EVEN DIRECTED AT YOU, AND WASN'T EVEN MEAN-SPIRITED IN THE FIRST PLACE), and called the guy "one of the worst types of people on here".....Where in the heck did that even come from?

(ps: PLEASE don't write a two-page reply: I'm good here, just thought you might want to know that was totally out of line.)

smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] downbond:
Okay..... I really appreciate all the constructive criticism. I have tried ICS and I still prefer GB. I never experienced any improvements of any kind. Just lots of disappointment :'(

Maybe 4.0.4 will be better :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakyfingers:
Hello Comunity,

I flashed ICS on my SGSII like 1 or 2 weeks ago it was working great, even Android Market updated to Play Store and it was working OK.

My SGSII is International Version, not locked. It's not rooted. Bought in Dubai, got to change the Sales Code to UK (UAE was not available since it was a European ROM?) when I flashed with the ICS.

Last night (23rd March 2012) I was trying to download some free apps from Play Store App and it was displaying Error -101, for several attempts and for different apps. Keep in mind that yesterday I did not use Play Store, also the system did not update anything during the day.

Tried Clearing cache and data of Google Play/Market.

I got the screen that says Android Market is upgrading to Google Play.. blah blah blah.. press continue

But then after that now Play Store is not connecting, it says Server Error, with a Retry Button.

Tried again Clearing cache and Data... no success. Same Server Error.

Restarted the phone... no success. Same Server Error.

Tried deleting my google account and enter it again... no success... and guess what? Same Server Error.

This started approx @ 1900-2000 GMT +3. Let's see if tonight it fix by itself (but I don't think so, since the 24 hrs ban due to excess downloading from the Store is dismissed).

Any ideas how to solve this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I was having this problems yesterday (Friday). So I cleared data on Play Store app, deleted market links with Ti. Then I rebooted & used the Market Doctor in Ti to restore those links, then rebooted again.

Decided to leave it overnight before I gave the Market another try, and I've just tried it now. No problems at all updating apps (not getting that 101 error), and apps are correctly linked to Market again; have all my apps in installed/updated (before I did that thing with Ti yesterday, Market had nothing in "installed", everything was in "All").
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakyfingers:
Excuse my ignorance, but what is Ti?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Titanium Backup Pro :) It has market tools which can come in handy. Not saying it will definitely fix your problem (or that it definitely fixed mine; may have been coincidence), but it might.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antzlisoul:
I have the same problem, it was working perfectly fine until yesterday. Same problem that you encounter. Is this is a server problem? did it fix the problem right now by itself?? Please let me know because I still have the same problem as of now.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

I had the same problem as you described since yesterday. I tried everything that you have mentioned too and still giving me server error with the retry button. Did you resolved your problem?? I'm still having the same problem as of now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakyfingers:
Not yet... I just downloaded Ti apk and patcher, but I will need to root my phone... I just don't want to switch to the Dark Side. I'll wait until tonight to root it, or maybe when I get home (April) since I'm overseas and I don't want to lose the only Communication Tool (My precious SGSII) that I have to contact home. Need to read a lot 'bout rooting.

As soon as it's fixed will let you now in this thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep let us know how you go with it. That way we can confirm whether what I did yesterday fixes this problem or not. Good luck ;)

Edit to add - Almost forgot. If you do use the market tools in Ti, only use them for user apps & not system apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antzlisoul:
I already rooted my phone, so i used the "advance task killer" and kill all pps and somehow I got it working again. But I know this is a galaxy SII section but I just wanted to let you know my galaxy tab 10.1 still have the same issue. server error with the retry button. I used something closed to advance task killer but still didn't work. So bottom line, I still don't know how to resolve this problem. Looking forward to what you can come up with.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakyfingers:
Mmm, I'm using WIFI in this country. I tried two different ISP (in the same country) and the problem is still there.

By the way, when I flashed to the ICS, changed the Sales Code from UAE to UK (using the numpad with the IMEI thing)... If I do it again, is not the same thing? for example from UK to Poland somewhere in Europe (since the ICS flash is Europe)...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yugisop:
Thanks dude...

Been having the 'Server Error - RETRY' issues for the past 2 days and even tried manually installing the latest play store 3.5.15 with no luck.

Changed to US - Verizon using Market Enabler and all was well, was able to launch Play Store and update my applications... well all expcept Root Explorer which was giving a download failed error, but i'm sure I'll get this going shortly.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

If you said you 'flashed' to ICS... you may not be too far away from rooting.

Visit ChainFire's thread to find a suitable insecure kernel, i used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (post #8) and be sure to read the 1 line of instruction :D in post #1 - ODIN (short).

Google server problem

Guys, I had the same problem for 24 hours and believed me, I tried everything that has been suggested by this thread but it didn't do anything. Somehow I got everything up and running on its own. I truly believe it was a problem from the google side. So I guess, you just have to wait until they fix the server.

Cheers.

Thank you.

When I read your blog, I was going to connect to my company VPN through Juniper's Network connect and share the internet connection from my laptop to the SGSII.

How to know which market my phone is connecting to?

Is it, by deault, connecting to the country assigned in the Sales Code?

But stop working once you disconnect from the VPN. I think I will change the Sales Code once I get home (since it involves a data wipe)

Tried many ways, still not work for me.

Clean the data of Google Play, then use two different versions of MarketEnabler (1.8.5 & 3.1.1.3), and MarketAccess, and market unlocker, all don't work.

I also clean the data, power off the phone, change another SIM card and restart the phone, fake the SIM card, then Google Play ask me the password, but after that, still don't work.

And I also use a US SSH proxy, don't work too.

Finally, I give up, it waste time to do so.

Solution

Hi all,

I'm using HTC One X with Google Play Store 3.5.19 and I did suffer from this "server error" issue for about 2 or 3 days. I did a lot of research but ended up with nothing (even many attempts of MarketEnabler app).

Then I incidentally ended up fixing it successfully. Now I'm going to show you all what I did.

First, use Titanium Backup Pro (for rooted phones only) to remove my play store then download the version 3.5.19 one.

Open Titanium Backup Pro (for rooted phones only) --> Backup/Restore --> hold the Google Play Store for 2 seconds then select (Attach to Market(forced)). And there we go. Everything's back to normal.

Hope it helps. ^_^

Cheers,

Alvis

Hi guys,

I have this prob since flashing the new predator genesis rom to my htc evo 3d.

Error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-13]

So far I tried restart, battery-, sd-card and sim pull, clearing data and cache from google services and google play store(I might clearde some other stuff 2). I think around this point my play store didn't reply at all. I just had the server error. Fixed this back to the old problem. Tried out the market enabler but it didn't work for me. tried out the vpn version. Somehow I couldn't connect to the server so that I couldn't try out this version completly.

A few minutes ago a deleted the play store over ti and reinstalled it afterwards. Although I didn't install the play store like the user whol explained it before me I guess it should have worked the same.

Do u have any ideas what to do. Should I try it over ti again. also I can't use the pro version since I have the market first to get it again. just have the trial right now.

SO annoying.

PS: i def. flashed correcctly with a full wipe. If I can't find a solution I will simply reflash the rom or use an other one.

Searched before asking, came up empty.

I tried upgrading to various ICS roms from on the forum. Every single one give me the same problems with market/play: Server error. I can not connect to the market. I never had a problem with honeycomb, and I've tried various roms and different versions of gapps. Also my cellphone (Huawei U8800) connects fine. I'm downloading the NVflash stock version now to try: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524302

Any ideas on what may be the problem or what I can try to fix it?

The only possible thing I can think of is that because I'm in China it doesn't like the ICS versions of market/play, but that doesn't really make much sense.

Update: The NVFlash stock non-rooted version didn't work. Tried downloading and manually updating to the latest Google play, still got server error. Downgraded back to Honeycomb, didn't work. I ended up having to use a “Chinese Market" whose name I shouldn't mention. At least I can get adobe flash and the rest of the basics. Thanks Google. Even better was the "Chinese Market" updated Google play.
