Tried the two most recent Nordic ROMS (NEE and DFW). Using either, Kies tells me that my device is not supported by Kies 2.0.

Can anyone link me non-carrier branded JB ROM that IS compatible with Kies? Preferably Nordic if possible.

Check your csc code my betting is that its not for your country... Change it to your country code and you should be good to go. THO. it confuses me as to why in all that is holly WHY you would want to use that evil god forsaken program. :eek::silly:
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Any idea how to change CSC these days? Short code doesn't seem to work anymore, nor does the S2/S3 CSC app (without root).
[Galaxy S II General] gaosphappy:
Your phone needs to be rooted and root permission given to app. I use this when i want to change my csc good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Thank you for all of the assistance. I just want to clarify - so there is no longer a non-root method to change CSC?
[Galaxy S II General] gaosphappy:
Nope don't think so... At least i've not come accross it yet... sorry :eek::silly:
[Galaxy S II General] wardarkmy:
So cool. Would be doing it.
[Galaxy S II General] PlutoDelic:
usually when im done using my phone, i give it a ram clearance, but the ordinary one from the built in task manager. my last rom was rooted and i gave Greenify a try, i was amazed by the app, it did its job really well and i could get 2 days of battery in every cycle, but this time i have chosen to even remain in stock kernel with LSN (i rooted only through custom kernel usage).

i disable loads of apps, at least those that i dont use, crapware. i can assure you, wether i lose 20% during sleep or 3%, it was always on the same STATE, i am not excluding that i might be doing something wrong, hell, i have 4 email widgets and google keep with 1weather being in front of it, overlapping, in Apex Pro, but still, how could i get 2day juice with the exact same settings.

this Inconsistency i am judging about, it makes me think that it could be the exact reason why samsung is not sharing proper code with us, theyre probably hiding stupid and dirty code from us.

CSC

What's up with the CSC thingy? I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 and didn't do the CSC. Seems fine to me though!

(Sorry for the Noob question)
[Galaxy S II General] kt-Froggy:
CSC is the Customer Sales Code, specific to a country or a region. Typically people are looking into changing it just so they can get official updates through Kies. I personally never had to change it, so you are not alone. :) I couldn't care less about Kies updates - I can download and flash any compatible ROM, stock or custom, so why worry about it...
[Galaxy S II General] madbutnotstupid:
Ahh i see. No problem with that. I usually download the rom and flash it.

Thanks for the information kt-Froggy!

RILJ WakeLock

Hi everyone!

Using Better Battery Stats I found out a partial wakelock that really drains A LOT of juice! It´s called RILJ.

I´ve searched every where e nobody seems to know how to fix it. There´s a workaround that works sometimes: airplane mode > reboot > disable airplane mode.

Does anyone here have the same issue?

Thanks

RILJ

Serious Memory leak in Stock ROMs

Hi Gyus,

I want to ask you people if any of you is having memory leak issues on LSN based ROMs?

I flashed NeatRom 4.6.1 (LSN Based) and then I was having terrible performance with my phone. Task Manager would display RAM usage in excess of 750 MB and the phone became really slow. This used to happen even when I was not connected to internet, be it through WiFi or Mobile Data. The only ROM in which I am not facing this issue at the moment is the AOKP Milestone ROM.

I have a feeling this might be related to that exynos memory leak issue found some time ago.

Can anyone please help what should be done in this case as I want to use Stock (or modded Stock) rom.
[Galaxy S II General] onolox:
I have observed that the nandroid backup in recent versions, is generating two files instead of one, as in older versions.

example:

system.ext4.tar.gz

system.ext4.tar.gz.a

The first is empty and the backup is actually in the second file.

This is normal? And why the change?

Anyone know how to overclock S II JB ?? lagging in TDKR
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Use a custom kernel that supports overclocking.
[Galaxy S II General] grayme:
Not sure what the cause was, but I gave up on LSN due to lagging. I triedOmega rom and have kept that as it's got a better battery than the previous JB stock roms and doesn't lag.

Additionally, it doesn't bootloop, which I had with LSN (and Philz kernel).

Update Problem: android firmware update 4.1 using kies on Mac 10.5.8

Hey guys,

I'm new here & apologize for posting a question that I'm sure you've seen numerous times but I need some help. I'm attempting to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy epic 4g tough (sprint) using Kies. I keep receiving the infinite update loop. After a couple of hours reading on different forums I decided to come here. I'm on a Mac 10.5.8 if that has anything to do with the problem. I've downloaded kies version 2.0.0.13023, obviously my device is not rooted. Looking forward to any suggestions!

Contacts application crash again in any release of v4.1.2

I have same issue when I was in 4.0.4, my SII is synced to my corporate MS Exchange server but Contacts crash very frequently, no contacts in the list but it appear again after clean data from Contacts application from Application list and restart application or restart all system.

I installed my SII several times with different releases of 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 but it appears again, I always do a full wipe after new installation is done but exactly same result. My contact list only has numbers from my corporate server, no syncing to google nor storing in loca SIM nor telephone memory. Number of contacts, around 500 including numbers, emails and so on.

Any of you experienced similar problem? What could I do to avoid this big problem in which I can't call nor identify incoming calls if this crash is in place?

since the 4.1.2 update I've been mostly impressed, but there's clearly a learning curve with the new functionality.

[Galaxy S II General] CaptainGoSlow:
Hi, no need to edit whilst in the drawer anymore. You can now change these in same way you add to rest of the home screen. Long press on app you want and drag it over the dock and it'll move one out for you. If you don't want 5 in there, you can just long press and remove it that way.

Same as you would for other launchers like Apex or Nova.

You know how there are app icons on every screen at the bottom of the stock launcher? (Key apps) with ICS you could change them menu-edit. Now with JB I can've figure out how to change them.

[Galaxy S II General] CaptainGoSlow:
Hi, if you move the app from the app drawer as you normally would to the home screen and place it somewhere. Then long press it again to pick it back up, you'll be able to put it into the dock and it'll move one out for you. If you just want to remove one, long press on it and you can drag it out.

Hope that better explains, let me know if not and I'll see if I can do screenshots.

You have to remove one app from the dock first ;)

Problem has no specific known reason that crash application, contents seems to be OK, it wasn't detected any issue when using Contacts Fix tool, after using that, it crash same as before. No fixed any bad contents. Synchronization with server, MS Exchange seems to be OK and when new contact is created, a copy is replicated at the other system.

[Galaxy S II General] J_The_Nerd:
I don't see a reason to switch until the gs2 dies, i mean sure it's nice to be on the latest Android release but not being on it went stop the phone working, and it can cope well with what i use it for, it's still a higher mid range device in my opinion and key lime pie will probably be quad core only anyway.

Just my opinion, feel free to disagree.
[Galaxy S II General] etherspin:
I absolutely agree, no existing phone (or on the horizon) has half the features I want , stock android , camera that thoroughly surpasses the GS2,big battery, non metal construction (dont like the feel/texture)

I dont like the One's button layout, the S4's bloat, the Nexus 4's camera - if they bump the camera on the nexus 4 at IO I could consider replacing my phone.. otherwise it might be the S2 for another year ;)

In the JB 4.1.2 i've noticed that I have a huge battery drain sometimes, I found researching with BBS, that the source is the infamous Audioout_2 partial wakelock.

In the foruns many things are said, but no one knows for sure the cause.

I think I have found the cause, that is, when an app that uses the headset, crashes and consequently not close the resource, or is bad programmed and do not close the resource properly, and the Audioout_2 resource stays forever open.

The only option now is to reboot the phone. I want something better.

My question is: There's a way to kill or clean audioout_2 somehow? Using a terminal, or an app?
[Galaxy S II General] Jeetu:
Try to uninstall Viber and see how it goes.

AudioOut2 wakelock can appear when rebooting while on silent/vibration. Enable sound before rebooting.

[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
I am still on LSN and I have the wifi battery drain bug. The main issue is between Android and certain routers. This bug is on many non-Samsung phones as well, but to an overall lesser degree. You can mitigate it by changing the beacon/dtim intervals on your router, but that has tradeoffs on network performance. For example, I went from 32% battery drain on wifi over 8 hours one night, to only 3% drain the next after changing the intervals. But, it caused connectivity issues for my SGS2 and my wife's iPhone 4s. No other device seemed to be affected.

Anyway, I'll give LSS a shot tonight, but I don't expect it to be fixed. The bug is still present in Android 4.2.2, but the Nexus 4 has a setting that allows you to conserve battery on wifi. It seems to force the phone to ignore multicast data.
[Galaxy S II General] egps2:
Thanks for sharing your experience but luckily it doesn't affect everyone and I'm glad you don't have it!

If you're interested see the quote below me but be glad you don't have to worry haha :)

Hi thanks for taking the time to reply in so much detail. I have heard about the possibility of changing these settings but unfortunately my router has very few options that I can play with so this wasn't an option for me. I remember I only had this issue with JB and not ICS/GB but because I have a charger at home and because the JB battery on 3G is amazing for me, I have decided not to revert to ICS.

I usually have a drain of 40-50% over 8 hours on LSN and before that (LSD/LS8) my phone would be dead after 8 hours but apparently no changes have been made to the wifi drivers so I can't imagine why there would be a difference... do you know of any other eay we can force phone to ignore multicast data? Or at least be less sensitive to it? Through an root app or a script of some kind? I heard that some custom kernels use older wifi drivers to mitigate this issue and maybe that's why I never had this issue because I would always use Siyah till JB as I no longer need it as it runs great other than this bug!

Anyway, LSS apparently has the some wifi drivers again but maybe there's another change that could help like it seemed to do in LSN? We can only hope! Thanks again for your help and have a nice day!
[Galaxy S II General] Nojevah:
So if I read you correctly, it is not a Samsung bug, but a Google/android one ? All phones are concerned by this Wifi bug ? Have you a link for this problem (even if it is in Nexus 4 forum) ?
