thanks friends.

But now I am not able to get into the recovery mode. will it get fixed after flashing the latest firmware?

What is the really working method to get CWM recovery for ACE?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jiffer1991:
It should work again if u flashed the stock because the stock recovery is included in the stock rom =)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eljomon:

please help me.

my phone is still not turning on, even after flashing stock firmware using odin.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brnbock:
Since you have flashed stock, are you able to get into stock recovery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eljomon:
Yes, now I am able to get into stock recovery by booting up holding HOME+POWER buttons.

Before CWM, ROOT ur phone...!

Before you flash CWM Recovery, you need to ROOT ur phone, download upd_1.zip file from the link that I provided in the previous post and flash it from Stock recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brnbock:
I agree. Though not totally necessary, it does help. Also enable adb.

I plugged in my phone last night and made sure it was charging, so i wake up this morning and i unplug it and it was at 20%?!? So i plugged it in rougly an hour ago and it only went up 20%, could it be that i left the desk clock thing on all night it just used more than it could keep up with and my battery is just super dead? I have also used different chargers and nothing worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
It never goes past twenty? If that's the case, i'm thinking it may be a battery issue. If you call Samsung and tell them the problem, you should be able to get another one for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thegoob:
Sorry my sentence was a little hard to understand, when i woke up it was at 20%, but its SLOWLY charging, like 1% every 10 minutes, its up to 45% now, but i just dont understand it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NightHawkUndead:
Are you using the Samsung Charger that came with the phone?

If yes do what he said ^ and call At@t and tell them. They will most likely send u a new battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jim Dead:
Verify how much current the phone is drawing (CurrentWidget from app store or a shell script). Even with the factory charger I have seend where the phone will draw less than 400mA (which is less than from a USB port on a computer) due to the cable being used - I threw out that cable. The "Battery Info" showed AC but the phone was only drawing 389mA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RCranium666:
Mine does 1% every 2 minutes with stock charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thegoob:
its drawing 6130, but the phone is back to charging normally now, idk what it was but it was strange needless to say...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] griffinj:
Had the same problem

I had the same problem of super slow charging a few days ago.

Fixed it by rebooting into recovery --> advanced --> wipe battery stats --> then reboot. Phone then charged as normal.

In case anyone has this trouble down the road...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CrypticDweller:
For CurrentWidget you'll need to set the operation type to divide (/) and the operation value to 10. That will show you the correct charging current.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Radukk:
Try charging phone while it turned off. If it is the same it might be battery problem. And use stock wall charger with stock usb cable. Note draws 1A so generic microusb charger takes twice more time I guess.

By flashing the 3 rom, your phones become just a i9100, no longer a i9100P. Probably whats confused Kies, thinks its a different phone and wont restore personal data (contacts, calendar etc)

@ tnoah12 - before you "port" a ROM you must ask for a permission. It is a ground rule here on the XDA.

Closed, porting roms without permission from the original developer is against XDA rules and generally bad form.

After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing

up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all

the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.

Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.

Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.

There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as

simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.

Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Digital_Buddha:
Try:

Turn off phone

Take out SIM

Put SIM back

Turn on

I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdscully:
Thank you for the response.

Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a

factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the

phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't

ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like

anyone else is having this same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdscully:
Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.

Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since

I had to do this.

At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the

data.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsdamage:
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdscully:

No one else having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tonydetroit:
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".

Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.

I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.

Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.

I would appreciate any assistance.

t989 chip lags

ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.

When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.

bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.

My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shaggyskunk:
Check & see if you have an app called AP Mobile. I used Carat, and it comes up as a data hog etc. If you're rooted use titanium to freeze it. After a VERY quick assessment, so far (I emphasize so far) the freezing & sluggish response has been eliminated? :-)

It's an app that at&t apparently uses to collect data. Since my phone was rooted almost as soon as I got the ICS update, I have no idea as to whether it was on stock Rogers, but I can't imagine why it would be.

Anyway, I've tried to do all the things that normally resulted in the issues & so far.... Fingers crossed

Plus, I also found that limiting the background process to 4, while the freezing was gone the phone seemed even more sluggish &much less responsive.

What's weird, is that when I found it on my phone, I checked on the play store & it didn't show up as being installed? So I don't know if it was in the tar file that was used when I rooted my phone?

I'm not trying to be a pita (comes naturally) But are you absolutely certain that AP MOBILE is no where, anywhere on your phone? Mine was running like a pos before & I have live wallpaper. Now it's running great! Did you check with carat, to see what else might be hogging resources? It might not be AP MOBILE in your case, but something similar.... I was getting really disappointed with the ICS update, now I couldn't be happier. I tried that development option of limiting the process to 4, it didn't freeze, but it was slow & unresponsive, besides it didn't make sense that this phone, which has more muscle than the Nexus, wouldn't be able to handle ICS at least as well. Hope you can solve the problems with your phone :)

Darkside's cache cleaner is the zip that's made for the T989, any reason that you can think of, that you wouldn't be able to flash it in CWM for the i727R?
