I have WiFi issues as well...I always reset the router everyday just to deal with it. The only time it works better is with stock. ICS or GB I don't have issues...only Roms.

[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
My real world experience with it seems good .. but speedtest.net app shows only 5mb/s when is usually close to 15mb/s on hi.gingerbread (i pay for 15gb speed, so it made sense).

It never times out or has a hard time connecting tho

I'm running stock rooted .3 ics... Interesting find. I will keep an eye on it myself
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Tried resetting your wifi router? That could be the issue, since I use both wifi/3G on the leak and official updates, both are fluent, hence the idea of a hardware issue possibly, but you can try reflashing the latest radio file. And I don't think wifi should affect network data, sounds like a hardware issue with that for sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
I know, but it seems that the Amaze can be a bit sensitive. It wouldn't hurt to check the interval. If it's at 3600, great. If not, change it to 3600 and see if it improves.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
It doesn't have to do with our routers. At least not mine. On GB, never experienced this issue. Same phone but now with stock .3 ICS I have trouble with connection and speed over wifi. Same at work. It must have something to do with the new ICS radio because I've experience the same issue on ARHD 2.2.1.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Then reflash the radio, see if it helps, my reception actually increased with the update, from 5-8mbps to 12-25mbps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I should also mention that my wife's GS2 doesn't have WiFi issues. Stock GB...she won't let me do anything to her Sammy.

[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
Done that. Flashed first leaked ICS - wifi issues. Flashed ARHD 2.2.1 - wifi issues. Flashed latest leaked/official ICS - wifi issues.

On the network, I get great signal and 23mbps in Beverly Hills. Wifi is just slow and weak. Pay for 10mbps download but phone does half of that.

Not a deal breaker for me but confirming eclipze wifi issues.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
On wifi?
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Yea reflashing radio didn't do anything, I'm curious to what this is, and I can't even start up SpeedTest because I can't get a stable connection, yea its that freakin bad

SuperSayain Sense 3.6 coming soon
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Wow... Mine isn't that bad. My scrappy old linksys wireless n is below me downstairs and this is what I get

Again... Half the speeds that I'm paying for and that I got on gingerbread
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Actually I was talking about network speeds, my wifi speeds are about 12-25 always. Maybe you should try a complete system wipe using the wipe script then reflash, just to clean up any old files lying around that may be blocking things up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Tbh... I think its my router... I tried my thrive too and it was pretty pitiful.

I will reset network and test when I get back home
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
the only wifi issue i (still) have is lag with wifi calling. it was pretty bad today, so much to the point where its useless. anyone else having issues with this currently?

YES... I don't think it will EVER really work on this phone

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
Hey guys I want to make a little guide step by step how to ODIN the new firmware T-mobile release. I feel some people are having trouble with this. I highly recommend this update if you guys want to install the official ICS when t mobile releases it. There are patches made in the Qualcomm chip to help ICS run smoother. :cool:

THIS IS FOR SGH-T989 (T-MOBILE) ONLY!

(I am not resposible if your phone goes haywire)​

Requirements:

1. ODIN 1.85

2. USB Drivers

3. WinRAR 32bit 64bit

4. STOCK 2.3.6 ULKL1

5. NEW STOCK 2.3.6 UVLDE

Steps:

1. Install USB Drivers

If you already have them installed i would highly recommend uninstalling first, then RESTART your computer and then install drivers.​

2. Install WinRAR

4d. Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding it when you see a 'WARNING' screen appear.

4e. Press VOL UP

You are now in DOWNLOAD MODE!
​

5. Start ODIN

Make sure you see ID:COM field yellow. If ID:COM field is not yellow this means ODIN is NOT recognizing your phone, If so re-do step 1.​

6. Set Up ODIN

6a. Make Sure Re-partition and Flash Lock are UNCHECKED!

6b. Make Sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are CHECKED!

6c. Click on PDA

6d. Select T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar MD5

This may take some time, I would give it about 15 minutes.​

8. Finished

Make sure you see ID:COM field Green PASS!​

9. Unplug Your Phone

Make sure you Unplug your phone when it's rebooted twice​

Congratulations! You now have stock UVKL1 :p

Recommended:

Just so things can go even more smoother/ if you have any kind of bootloop, boot into Recovery

Boot into Recovery Steps:

1. Power Off Phone

2. Power On Phone

Power on phone while holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN​

3. Wipe

Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik​

4. Reboot System

UPDATE TO UVLDE

Follow Steps 4-9

*IMPORTANT*

So if you are running ics already you suggest we flash uvlde and then go back to ics again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
Yes i would highly suggest you do that. Their were reports that the new ICS were bricking phones :eek: why they didn't push out ICS. So this update would of fixed that.

And thanks on the live wallpaper apk ill add it on Optional.

If your asking ICS to the new update i say its better if you just fresh install old stock then the new stock. If im not mistaken if you go from ICS to new UVLDE just wipe data and all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
Yea i know how to do it but you know newbes will be asking.

factory reset solved this problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
What ROM were you on?? to start with? might be conflicting with that. did you wipe all data ? factory re-set.??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -greenboy-:
I was on Darkside ICS - B5.

Op never said to factory wipe, so I did not.

I thought ODIN is binary and will wipe everthing on the phone.

didn't know it never does the wipe for /data itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:
It seems a Factory Reset solved the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hekademos:
after flashing this update can we just restore from a backup since its just the firmware update that we're flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] housecat93:
I hate to sound like a **** but the speculation that that qualcomm chip drivers stay after we flash an ICS rom after the maintenance update probably isn't true.

Drivers, as far as I know are stored in the kernel. I'm assuming the qualcomm driver is no exception. So when the ICS roms are flashed over the uvlde it would have no effect since the kernel would be replaced anyway.

Can I get a Dev to confirm this or correct me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
You don't need a dev to confirm this here.. Mr. X has been saying this in the official speculation thread over and over again. I will say it too, there is nothing in this update (unless it has an updated bootloader or recovery image - haven't checked that out, and if that is the case those pieces should be extracted) that will survive an update. Drivers and modules are located in the kernel (base level) and /system, neither survives a ROM update.

Just for ****s and giggles I am downloading the package now, and will edit my post once I open it up and inspect the updater and included files.

Ahh well, this ODIN package is not going to tell much, though it contains a recovery (I don't have an old one to check against for changes), there is definitely nothing modifying the bootloader. Besides, if it were in order to update the recovery to prep for ICS, they would probably have saved the bandwidth and just put out an update that flashes the new recovery, instead of a whole new GB ROM build. Maybe I need to download the OTA package to check that out...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
from what i heard is its just for ota updates. Something about the ota update bricking phones.

But as you where thinking i was thinking the same thing. The ics update would over write all system files, just leaving user data.

Unless the ota ics was to leave the kernel untouch, but idk im not a dev im a honda guy :p

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

please do as i was wondering this also. It wouldnt make sense for tmobile to release the update in 2 parts just kinda dumb to me. so wonder why they did it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
Trying to locate the OTA package, and not this ODIN package to see what it includes. The only thing I can think of (to justify this thread and call this update a prep for ICS) is that the recovery got updated... if that were the case the ICS update could (most likely) update the recovery first and then flash the ICS update through the new recovery.. so I still don't see how this would be a needed update to get ICS. For all accounts and purposes this seems like a standard maintenance update for GB...

I guess no one received this OTA, because I can only find the ODIN package, which makes it harder to see what specifically as updated. As I said before, unless the recovery was updated, this will do nothing to help update to ICS. If it was the recovery, and you were running a custom recovery before, and you did all this just to go back to the stock recovery and wait for ICS..... well... all will be lost if you put your custom recovery back on, and if you flash a new ROM after this (from your custom recovery) than it will be as if you never wasted any time installing this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
So what is the answer? I'm running Darkside Evolution beta 5, do I need to bother with the latest maintenance upgrade? Does this really improve anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
Again, if you are running a custom ROM and custom recovery, there is no way this will do you any good. The only thing you can take from this is the modem which is available as a separate package.

If you are running stock GB, go ahead and update, this is meant for you! If you are not running stock GB, wait for your developer to update your ROM with the new base (though most are probably concentrating on ICS).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
i wouldnt since most of the new ics beta are from att. and you would be mixing alot of tmobile and att stuff together.

I plan on flashing this then installing the leak 4.0.3 tmobile ics and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
My honest thought i say do this, its not a waste as everyone says. I do feel less lag and it just feels smoother. But you can do as you please. My 2cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] IMissPalmOS:
As a *long* time Windows Mobile guy who is just catching up with the Andriod world, I am a bit confused here... What exactly is the point of flashing the stock ROM first if you are just going to then flash the new one right on top of it? Couldn't you just skip that step, ODIN flash the new ROM on top of whatever you are running now and be all done? Thanks for any explanations!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwalker279:
I have a problem, that I cannot find nor figure out the solution, I hope there is someone here that can help. I have used and have flashed with Odin many many times and have never had a problem.

Problem:

I am running a BeastMod 5.0, and before that I was running a ICS ROM...can't remember which one. I wanted to make sure I had everything ready for when the Official ICS dropped. Went to flash the stock which is posted here, got all the way (in Odin) to the Modem cache.img.ext4 part and that is where it hangs. I actually left it overnight just to make sure, and was still stuck on that part of the flash. It keeps rebooting to the Kies download page and only way to fix is to Odin Flash clockwork recovery. I have tried the super wipe, cache wipe, and every other tool I can find, but it still always get stuck at the part listed above.

Hopefully someone else has had the same problem and been able to fix. All help is greatly appreciated.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
If your allready running old stock yeah no need to ODIN old stock i just wanted to provide everything i could. But if your coming from ICS leaks or any orher ROM i would recommend doing all the steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
I am just curious as to why you think it makes sense to install one update which is going to be completely wiped out by another update just to pave the way for another update to wipe everything from the previous two out? It seems very misinformed, and against what all the recognized developers here have stated.

As I said, unless you want a complete stock experience, and are currently running GB (stock), there is no advantage to flashing this. Especially if you are just going to restore (or re-flash) another ROM on top of it. That is like saying you have to format your hard drive, install Windows XP, format your hard drive again, install Windows Vista, in order to format your hard drive again, and install Windows 7.... does that make sense to you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxjrsmith3xx:
I understand what your trying to say i do with flashing a new ROM all will be gone but i brlive T mobile did this for a reason and it does patch the processor even when a new ROM like ICS its like updating your BIOS system on your mother bored it will always be updated. Mr.kitty said this is recommend and i feel the same way now if it a big issue people don't have to but i feel For ICS this is needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
Once more, this does not update anything like you are thinking with your reference to BIOS. It flashes a new modem, recovery, kernel, and system. The only one which may help with ICS is the recovery (if changed), everything else will be replaced by ICS. Yes, T-Mobile did this for a reason, for GB users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatlaoboi:
When you flash UVLDE you need to reflash CWR. It will go back to the stock recovery when you flash.

I'm sorry if this has been answered, but do we have to be on a UVLDE rooted install to flash custom ROMS that are built off the upcoming ICS update.? That just doesn't sound right.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Flashing the old stock then the new one is a waste. Its a full odin package, no reason to flash old one first. No....NONE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Thanks, but is it needed to flash the new stock to flash future custom ROMS based on the upcoming ICS update? IMHO, no, Once a dev grabs the system dump of the ICS update, he recompiles his ROM to that base AOKP, CM9, Darkside, we can flash a fresh install to said ROM, no matter what ROM you are coming from, whether you ever updated to UVLDE or not.

Sent from the Darkside, ICS style
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I honestly cannot answer that for you. I just know from having and using ODIN for years and from having a thorough understanding of how it works and what it does, that with a full odin package (like uvlde), it does not matter what was flashed before it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Looks like we both agree. A full Odin of this update, or the upcoming ICS should be enough to flash, no matter what ROM you have or if LDE was ever installed on your phone or not.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
I asked tmobile on twitter and they said it is highly recommended to be on UVLDE before flashing the ics update.

Not being on it it what caused the bricks. So I flashed the UVLDE through odin while I was on darkside beta 7.1 and it is flawless. I backed it up then rooted and will restore when the update is released. Im going to flash the telus update"when X releases it" while on the UVLDE and see if it less buggy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tonebone:
Of course they are going to tell you that, they don't want you on any other ROM other than stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dex1701:
T-Mobile want the fix in place before the ICS update because most people won't update through Odin and any driver bugs could cause problems. If you're not going to do the official T-Mobile update (you're going to wipe and flash through Odin) it shouldn't matter whether you have the UVLDE update or not, because all of that data is going to be replaced when you update the firmware.

So, if you're going to do the official T-Mobile update then flash UVLDE first. If you're going to flash some ICS firmware through Odin or recovery then it really shouldn't matter.
