Is it just me, or Samsung removed XWKE2 from Kies? Could anyone confirm that?

KE2 is not on my kies aswell, they must of took it off for some reason?
Maybe a KE3 on the way
Check my thread. They confirmed to me today on the phone that the upgrade can cause serious damage to some phones so they have pulled it.

Although I said it was KE1, I meant KE2...
Strange indeed.
Looks like unbranded xeu guinea pigs are to receive updates quite often.
Good

I just checked the FUS server and it's been pulled, the latest available is XWKE1.
So what kind of damage can it cause? Because I am running on KE2 already
I'm running XWKE2 too and well and it's perfect. I'm guessing it was pulled because of the compatibility issue with Orange's network. If you're worried and want to flash back to XWKE1 then the files and instructions are in a thread in Dev Forum.

Not worried, just curious if it is an instant problem or one that develops in time while running KE2. I have no issues either, everything runs well and battery is ok too. Only thing that annoys me a bit is the message in Kies: "This version of the device cannot be updated", But i am sure that will go away when a new version will appear.
btw, I have an unbranded phone from clove.
I connected my phone to kies since you guys says it´s been pulled, KE2 is still availible here
Ah, no wonder. I updated yesterday and after a bit of buggering around to get Kies to see my phone it upgraded smoothly. Only later I found I had KE1 & not 2. Thanks for clearing that up, I'm not going mad after all.
yeh i upgraded to ke2 the other day and now im waiting for ke3, but i have not had any force closes or sudden shut downs.
Also my battery is doing ok, and not the best but ok i watched a 80min stream over wifi on the deadly dir655 router and i lost 16-20% so not good but not bad.
I just tried updating with Kies and XWKE2 is not there.
Maybe its only the debranded one thats not there. Maybe the o2 one is still there
I just updated my phone through Kies a few hours ago. No problems whatsoever.

I have flashed my x10a,but it still at times lags for quite a while,and mysteriously powers off. I see that the new at&t update carries the baseband of 2.1.60. Will this possibly help with the problems that I am having right now? Downloaded 2.1.0435 from xda,which is generic 2.1. I love my phone regardless,I just want to solve some of these niggling problems.
Thank you devs,for all your help in the past and present. I'm new to this,and the tech talk at times goes WAY over my head. But,with the help from you and YouTube,I flashed my mobile three months ago and glad that I did.
Now,all I am looking forward for at&t to roll out the Arc,which I am DYING FOR!!

How many times are you going to post about baseband 2.1.60 advertised on SE website that has been proven to be wrong or outdated. First, SE doesn't talk about baseband numbers regarding updates, they use firmware numbers, because the baseband is included in the firmware. The AT&T X10a update is firmware 2.1.A.0.492, which comes with baseband 2.1.65.
2.1.60 would be going backwards in numbers. By using the ATT branded update you are using 2.1.65 which limits data from H to 3G, and has known text message problems.
We are all using X10a 2.1.A.0.435 global generic firmware which comes with baseband 2.1.54 on xda, and we don't have any glitches. Be more specific.

I have told him 5 different times in 5 different threads that baseband 2.1.60 doesn't exist, but because he saw a screen shot with baseband 2.1.60 he thinks it is real.
He has waited weeks to update via SEUS or PC Companion, because he wants confirmation of baseband 2.1.60.
Please tell him to update himself and see himself. Please.

no problem i didnt realise you had let him know in 5 other threads or i would have posted what i did in my last post
Woah! I'm just going by what I saw posted somewhere online! I have a few issues with my phone and thought maybe someone on here could guide me. Yes, I am new to this! Don't attack me for not knowing the proper information, etc., since I am NOT a tech wiz. That is why I come on here for tech support, info on how to make my mobile work for ME! I know there are some software issues that I need to advice on, since the phone randomly powers off, poor response, etc.

@JBM;I DO have glitches, and I downloaded the flashtool From xda. I posted my glitches in a previous post on this thread. What I may not have been SPECIFIC is that I used SEUS to get the mobile to work, which it does. But it has so many issues, and have read several different threads on here, that I need HELP for MY concerns.

I am on XXBLFB (BTU), I never got the OTA update cause it was giving me a message to try again later. Now it says no update available and KIES shows that LFB is the latest firmware :S. Did Samsung take down the latest firmware? And will they be making it live again? Also I wanted to know if there are any disadvantages of flashing through ODIN vs KIES/OTA.

The wait later was annoying me too, so I used CheckFUS+ODIN. But you're not missing much. I'm sure it fixes some bugs, but its headline "feature" is the removal of integrated search, due to the Apple victory in the US.
However, Samsung weren't legally obliged to remove that feature worldwide (and Apple would be unlikely to win a similar case in Europe). Based on the complaints about the legally-unnecessary nature of the "update", its possible Samsung have pulled it for the time being.
They have definitely pulled the update (have a look at CheckFUS) but the exact motive... can't say for sure yet. For all we know the removal of integrated search from a non-US firmware was a mistake.
Oh well. Wonder if they will be fixing the same bugs with a different firmware since quite a few people did not update their phones due to not getting the OTA as well the relatively short time frame when the update was live.
Exactly as I guessed , it was a mistake according to BBC, which was why they pulled LG6

So last night I updated my s3 to the latest UK firmware, XXBLG8, And I can't tell if my problems stem from the latest update!
After the update many apps wouldn't open and I'd have to do a battery pull to sort out each individual app that refused to load, everything's fine now, however, my data connectivity seems to have worsened considerably, even with full signal strength and HSPDA nothing will load, the browser shows errors that I'm not connected to the internet and apps such as the Play Store and Speedtest won't connect.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Would I be able to flash back to an earlier firmware using ODIN? (I'm new to the s3 scene, just jumped ship from a Desire HD and haven't yet fully got my bearings.)
Thanks guys!

only problem i have noticed is that speedtest does no longer work but everything else perfect. Infact my hsdpa connection is much better on this rom. you can easily downgrade your rom back if you wish just follow this excellent guide to flash via odin.

Hmm, I suppose it could be the area I'm in, but it's usually fine where I am. I'll give it another couple of days and test it in other areas to see if the problem persists.
I've upgraded via ODIN before, just wasn't sure if there were restrictions on downgrading etc, I'll give the thread you linked to a good read now, thanks!
Try changing Modem BULF1 for starters .
I find the last two updates modems are very poor .

I am also on the 8 firmware and so far it's good.
looks like speedtest.net have changed there site slightly if you goto site with mobile agent set on browser it redirects to the play store to the speedtest app, change browser to desktop as long as you have flash installed all is fine. I believe this has been done site to the up and coming removal of mobile flash

Thanks, I'll give it a go!
So I decided to bust out my Desire HD, I remembered I still have a month left on my old contract before it gets terminated, checked the data connectivity on there and I seem to be having the same issues. Looks like it's a problem with 3 in general rather than it being my s3. Which is good news for my s3!
Must have been pure coincidence that I started having these issues right after upgrading, however, I tried a few new modems and have been getting better signal (no change with the data issues) so at least I've taken something away from the experience
Isn't there an issue with 3 UK branded ROMs experiencing network issues when you flash the unbranded ROM? I think you may need to flash a separate modem, Google it, I may be wrong.
I'm on 3uk running blg8 not had any problems making, receiving calls and texts and my network is fine on both wireless and 3g

It seems to be working pretty well this morning on both my s3 and DHD, and Frostfree I'll have to check that out, I've already flashed a few new modems and I'm getting better performance so that might very well be the case!
I'm in Folkestone (south east coast)
I am on BLG6 with Cyanogen Mod 10 latest rom and so far I have great speeds (4-5Mb) on speed test app.
Will try flashing BLG8 when i can find a download link. I just want the modem to flash not a whole rom cos i am loving JB on the SGS3.

Bump, same thing. Was fine with the stock gingerbread and seemed fine with ICS 4.0.3 (though many people have been reporting problems)
After updating via kies to 4.0.4 yesterday my wifi is nulled.
Wifi analyzer is reporting great signal strength but it hardly loads any pages/apps and cuts out in under 40 secs.
*Want to downgrade back to 4.0.3*
Edit: I have a Virgin Superhub if thats a common denominator with you guys

In my case, this problem persists on every wifi access point I connect to: work, home, train, supermarket... this is not related to router/hub brand.

I haven't tested mine on any other network so i assume its not functional anywhere,
I don't have the first clue about how to downgrade it back to 4.0.3 though I would love for that to be an option in Kies, 'flash previous Rom'
It might be, as I say I haven't looked into it yet, give it another week with no Wifi and I'm sure it'll be bugging me though. This could be a blessing in disguise, I might end up with a bloatware free cooked rom, yey!

Hi,
I'm here this time on behalf of my girlfriend, who just happens to use a Galaxy S II aswell.
She's been having trouble with her phone since she bought it, of which most issues were fixed by editing phone settings.
The phone's been running rather slow lately and has been crashing every now and then. I ran a Dr Web scan on her phone and it didn't find any threats, but if I compare the speed of the phone to mine (not to mention the fact her's keeps crashing and lagging), the difference is clearly noticeable. The phone is an SG SII I9100, running stock ICS 4.0.3, kernel version [email protected]#3 (same as mine).
Any ideas in terms of where to start looking for things causing the issues with the phone?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

You could try see if any certain apps are causing apps to crash, or you could
try updating the phone to the latest firmware OTA or via kies.
Or you can download it from Sam Firmware Just put in your location and carrier and then flash the firmware via odin.
trying install an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pavel.ugo.cpumonitor4&hl=en
see what is utilizing the cpu and reinstall / uninstal the app
maybe if you like flash the jelly bean leak to her phone. i have been using since when it was leaked and its running great.
