[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
Sorry to be a bother. I have serached numerious post about simular problems with details pretaining to a fix in this matter. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777. The Rom I am currently running is ShoStock V.2.2.6, Android 4.0.3 with the cheerypicker Kernel and bandband ver.I777UCPLCS. The problem I have been having and did not have before flashing this rom, is that my 3G signal and HSPA+ notification keeps flickering back and forth. Plus my data speed have slowed up a bit. Yes, I could flash back to another rom but I really like the features of this one. Is there a fix to this problem is it a known problem? Thanks so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Try a different modem.

Also H+ only shows when using data, if not it will show the 3g instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
I figured that LiLChris. But it keeps flickering back and forth. Plus this is mow happening in areas that I once had a full H+ signal with very fast speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
The flickering is part of ShoStock and most other ROMs. It shows you the true connection; as LiLChris said, it uses H+ only when using data, and defaults to 3G when no data is being sent. AT&T usually just hides this and makes it show H+ all the time, even though that's not accurate.

I know, it freaked me out at first too lol. As for data speeds, try different modems and also changing APN settings.

EDIT: I didn't know the problem was when you're sending data (you posted a couple secs before I did). APN settings and a different modem may help you out with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyamoV2:
Sounds like modem issues as stated. In my area modems can vary by up to 2mbs depending on which one I try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
Is flashing different modems cut and dry? Is there a place to go and see what modems in my area are good to use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Not really cut and dry, but this will help you out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Steve6569:
Thanks so much for your help its really appreciated.

Guys, I know there is a sticky about this, but since I'm a newbie in this, I can't comment in posts.

As the title says, today a comment on G+ by TMO says we may not get the long awaited ICS. Look at the pic.

I'm sorry but I think we all should know this.

Edit: Nevermind, it was an innocent mistake. They are talking about the HTC G2. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joe USer:
It's highly doubtful that T-Mobile would abandon their flagship phone while AT&T is upgrading theirs.

Combine this with the notices from Samsung that T-Mobile Galaxy S2 will be getting an update, pretty much guarantees that an upgrade is happening.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
That says G2, which is also the HTC G2, which more then likely what they were referring to, not trying to sound mean btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diego9016:
I think I never said I signed up for this... I said I was a new member and that's why I create a post for something that has to go in the sticky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diego9016:
Maybe you're right... Since we are all so desperate about ICS, I just posted this as information that i saw and wanted to share.

If it is wrong or something, you can always report it to the admins, so they delete this post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Yeah, what he said. This is in reference to the G2, not GS2.

Context clues are key.

One being that the person Tmobile was responding to has a MT4G slide. The poster wanted ICS for the 4G slide as they thought it was fundamentally the same as the Sensation (which got ICS). Tmobile responded by saying that it is up to the OEM's and the G2 is an old Device and probably wont get it.

As the GS2 is not that old of a device, common sense would tell you that this isn't what he is referring to. Additionally, the MT4G slide is way more comparable to the G2 than to the GS2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RippeR37:
So this is a simple tutorial on how to get BLN working even for apps, that does not support them (e.g. stock mms.apk etc.). There are plenty of 3rd party apps that this does support.

What do we need:

1. Smartphone with android os (works on 2.2+)

2. Root (obviously ;)).

3. Application BLN Control Free or Pro or other that works with BLN (tested on Pro).

4. Application Light Flow Lite or it's full version. (Full version does support many 3rd party apps). I did it with Lite version.

5. 5 minutes of your time. :)

Instruction:

1. Install BLN Control (Pro) app.

2. Turn on (check) BLN in app (Activate BLN option). If we have paid version we can also set schedule for only-day work and MissedCall already.

3. Install Ligh Flow (Lite).

4. Open it. There will be pop-up. Press "ok" or "yes" (don't remember which one now). At top you will see "Light Flow Lite Off", press it and turn it on. There is chance of leak in security but app does not have network connection (as it says) so it won't even do anything if got any informations. Go back to app.

5. Get in "General Settings section" and check as on screen:

Don't change anything else unless you know what are you doing.

6. Get in "Notifications" and after that check positions that interests you (for me its e-mail, sms, mms & gmail, since i already have "missed calls" from bln control pro. If you have free version you should turn it on too).

Settings for SMS (same for others).

Color and rate is of course not important to I9100 owners ;). I also recomendt not to set sound or vibrate for any notifications used in this app as stock apps for any activities has them already. Also be sure to turn off acitivities that you don't want ((missed call if you enabled them in bln pro), calendar, all with battery, bluetooth, both signal and g.talk).

After you finish only these icons should be on:

- koniec

7. If we have paid version we can go to "Additional Apps Supported" in main Menu and use it with 3rd party apps.

8. Close app, test it - should work flawlessy. Well if you get sms, turn on screen, won't read it and turn it off - it will light ON, becouse it's set to turn notification off only when you enter base app (e.g. stock mms.apk). It's becouse BLN sets of before screen turns on, and it would not light after screen turn off in other case.

I saw application on Market (blah, Play now - who da faq invented that name?!) and searched it on xda - there were some notes aboud that, but many people still didn't know there is any way for BLN on ICS or even some GB roms. It's still better alternative to modify services.jar/odex ;) Hope now people will know about this way :)

As for battery - i think it will use less or same as BLN app. I just got it so I can't really say for sure now.

Tested on:

XWLP9 (ICS 4.0.3) with Apex Launcher Pro 1.1.0, stock mms.apk (4.0.3-XWLP9), BLN Control Pro v. 0.17.5 and Light Flow Lite 2.12.5.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitrino:
hello all, remember that when I saw the video presentation of ICS said that there would be some custom skins for the keyboard stock ... but where are they?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
There are some included in the stock keyboard itself. They are hidden in a debug menu
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitrino:
how can i find them?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
You need a launcher that has a shortcut or widget to activities. Then go to a android keyboard

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gtung99:
Hey Guys,

I remember the first two days I had my HOX, i thought the battery life was amazing but now on the 4th day it seems to be getting worse. I don't know if it has to do with the 1.82 RUU or other stuff i have running so I thought I ask.

With the screen off in sleep mode, i lose about 1% every 45-60 mins. The only things I have running are the default HTC sense weather, battery indicator and gmail widget. I just turned the wifi setting where it would shut down after the phone goes to sleep but that doesn't seem to be helping.

Overall today i used it for a few mins for txt and basically installed two apps and i'm down to 80% already since 7:00am. It did push maybe 5-6 emails to the phone while it was off.

Anyone else seeing this kind of battery life?

George
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Reamer09:
Is this your first smartphone? That is pretty decent battery life for the type of phone it is. You're getting much better battery life than a lot of people in these forums. This belongs in the battery life thread that is already started though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
My phone lasts from 8am to 4am daily, with ~2 hours of screen usage, 1-2hrs of calling, and wifi always on. By the end of the night, I have a minimum of 25% remaining, and sometimes even 40-45% or so.

The only time it dies quickly is when I'm in an area with no service, then the "cell standby" time shoots through the roof and kills the battery like no tomorrow.

Maybe you should download CPU spy and check to see if it's deep sleeping or not. If not, or if it spends too much time at higher frequencies, check out Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks/other apps that are taking up too much usage time.

Option two you should probably try anyway, CPUSpy or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
The battery stats are bogus... my phone was off the charger for 2 hours with the screen off and lost 18% and yet my stats say it was asleep... downloaded better battery stats and I'm finding the culprit today
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] King Shady:
Battery has been horrendous lately. My GSII blew this thing out of the water in terms of battery life
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] play2lose:
I got betterbatterystats installed and it's saying my phone does NOT go into deep sleep mode.

In the past hour:

Deep sleep: 3 seconds

Awake time: 1 h 35 minutes

Screen on: 12 minutes

What would cause my phone to never sleep even though the screen was off for 1 hour and 20 minutes? ....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Im pretty sure its betterbatterystats. I uninstalled mine and battery life significantly improved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] play2lose:
Is there any way to test if my phone is sleeping without BBS?

I JUST installed BBS because my battery life has been pretty bad these past 2 days...can't make it to 3 hours screen on time (which is why I returned my galaxy note)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pradhana:
It mean ur phone even if the screen goes off there's process that make ur phone doesn't put to deep sleep (like app with auto update on e.g twitter or facebook and so on, depend on your app in the phone)

In BBS, you can check what things that make you phone didn't put to asleep. You can find it in Kernel wakeup/partial wakeup/other in BBS.

Sorry for my Bad English
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Uncheck better WiFi performance under WiFi> advanced settings
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skijackz:
+1 for this. I got about 9 hours with this on. I'm now at 2 days and counting with it off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
WiFi performance will keep your phone awake. It's good for long downloads and such, usually when screen goes off it'll go into low performance mode and will crawl for downloads. It has a purpose, just remember to turn it off after :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] play2lose:
I actually figured out that that was the problem causing no sleep. I was having WiFi problems which were fixed by this...but figured it may have an effect on the battery too. I switched it off and turned my phone screen off for 10 minutes...right away 10 minutes of deep sleep showed up.

Getting much better stand-by battery life...unfortunately I'm on my phone a lot (for texts, facebook, twitter, instagram, web browsing) and the screen on battery life still won't go past 3 hours! :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RiPpeR_dUdE:
You can use CPU Spy...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
There is a battery thread... But to the OP, that's pretty decent.

for me... 29% on for 14 hours and thirty minutes. Screen on 1:32. 1:47 for voice calls. And I did a lot of music streaming.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] c5satellite2:
WiFi high performance is good when you need it, otherwise turn off because it prevents your phone from deep sleep. Fastboot should also be killed unless you need it. Fastboot is only useful if you turn your phone off and on often. No difference for rebooting. Some apps don't like it.
[HTC Desire S] Dillo_CS:
So, basically, I want to root my device, and I got some advice from a friend that I should use HTC Dev (With hindsight, I should have ignored him), and now I don't know what on Earth I should do now.

Here's what I see:

SAGA PUT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT- 2.00.0002

RADIO- 3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

I have no idea what any of that means, as I am a complete newbie to this rooting business (My only other experience was using a Condi AllInOne tool doe a Sony Tablet S.) I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice, or point me in the direction of something/someone that would be able to give me simple (newb) instructions on how to root from this position.

Many thanks in advance guys.

i tried search but seems unavailable

im on froyo stock rom v10h with more than half of internal phone storage free but it keeps giving Low memory warnings like every 10 mins then i clean it with GO master then comes bk again then cleaning and so on ..its so irritating and i dont know how to stop this .. it makes phone lagging so much..any ideas ?!

thx inadvance
[LG Optimus Black] gsal:
The internal storage has nothing to do with the free memory. Actually you might have very few apps installed but if these apps are memory hungry then you run low on memory. Remember that intenal memory is rom memory and the memory you clean up with the go up is ram memory. So not the same thing. How much memory you have left after some hours of use?
[LG Optimus Black] Mo Chedid:
its usualy like 323 m.b ( green ) then 440 ( yellow ) then 460 ( red ) all out of 488 m.b it does this after few minutes of using some apps ( pics art or skype or nimbuzz ..etc ) makes phone lagging so much so i got to clean and it comes bk again
[LG Optimus Black] gsal:
I think that skype uses a lot of ram. Try some other task killer app like system panel. Have you considered flashing a custom rom? Because there are some with very good memory management. Check the development thread. Zeus is awesome and marvel as well. Supressed rom is really fast and light too. These three have also good battery life.

[HTC Sensation] toreone:
Seems like everyone was complaining, saying the OTA was never coming and now that it is here they are complaining again. Why would you want to go back to stock, just so you can get the official release when it is for sure filled with a bunch of things you don't want or need (apps bloatware) then you are going to root it and go flash a custom ROM anyways. I am on Energy GB ROM and I am really hesitant to flash to ICS because this ROM works so well. When I was stock I would get restarts, Sense would constantly reload and a bunch of other things. I don't want to have to flash a ROM then flash a bunch of fixes after just to make it stable just to have ICS on my device. Sorry just wanted to make a few points. If anyone could post some key features of the Official OTA ICS Update and why it would be better than a custom ROM I would appreciate it.

Final question. How many of you reverted back to stock just get the OTA and what is so cool about it? :D
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I am wondering the same thing.. what does stock OTA ICS have over custom roms?

The only two things I can think of is (1) keeping warranty, and (2) more stability since it's an official update
[HTC Sensation] toreone:
A lot of times the custom roms are more stable. The GB rom I am running is a lot smoother and more stable than when I got my sensation out of the box.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I agree, on stock I would be having the device reboot all the time! Drove me Crazy!

On my custom Rom, it has NEVER done that! So I say pass on the update also! I'm running Android 4.0.3 now with custom rom, why ruin a good thing i say!
[HTC Sensation] se1000:
Here's one reason: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26117743

It's not always that people are looking to apply the stock rom, but sometimes what pieces they can get from it.
[HTC Sensation] toreone:
LOL, good point but besides working wifi calling.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
my Wi-Fi calling is working on my custom Rom, as is camera, hotspot, tethering ect. I've checked them all. I'm greatful all working! These developers are Genius! I am soo thankful for them!
[HTC Sensation] toreone:
How do you compare the camera on the stock GB compared to the camera on your ROM now.I love the amaze camera mod on this NRG ROM.
[HTC Sensation] crohthehero:
I myself had actually considered reverting back to stock from sensation 4g running virtuous 4.02 ics, but that was only so I could get my WiFi calling back, and to see if it was any more stable..... But then I realized that since I flashed Virtuous Inquisition, I haven't had ANY problems at all, and now there's a fix for WiFi calling, so I can't imagine why I would go back to stock. Phew, I'm glad I came to my SENSEs before doing something I probably would ended up regretting, and then spending time to have to revert and re-root.
[HTC Sensation] Kevc44485:
Custom roms ain't all they're cracked up to be. Too many issues. I'm on stock and rooted and it works just fine. I don't see what's so great about custom roms. Eye candy? Custom boot animations? I would rather have stability and reliability.
[HTC Sensation] crohthehero:
I think that it's not as much about the eyecandy, so to speak, but more to do with the fine tuning and tweaks available in the custom roms that you just can't get with stock. There's nothing wrong with anyone leaning one way or the other, just a matter of preference and of what you use the phone for.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Im currently using Three UK as my network and after a few weeks of using it with the one x i can say that im quite disappointed in them. Not really having their own gsm network is a pain. The handset does pick up orange gsm after a while but takes an age to hand back into Three.

So, thinking of going to tmobile, how are people finding them in conjunction with the one x? Any issues with handovers gsm to umts or from tmobile to orange and vice versa.

[Xperia Arc General] Candy[MAN]:
You cannot use PCC as it won't pick up your phone's identity properly now.

You will need to use Flashtools and flash back to GB 2.3.4. Once you do that, then you can then use the repair option in PCC and reload GB if needed.
