Anyone experience the same thing?
When I receive a Text Message, the time stamp is way off (shows 6pm) when it is actually 10pm. Is there any fix or if anyone has similar issue?
Thanks

I'm getting it on mine as well. Out of curiosity, did you get a Bell SGS2 that's unlocked running on Rogers?
Mine come in with a time stamp 4 hours early.
rogers and at&t (in the US) both have this problem. its a VERY old bug, dating back to the beginning of rogers. I remember my sony ericsson w580 also had this problem. my moto milestone too. also my sony ericsson c905. and my girlfriend's galaxy s. any phone from another carrier brought over to rogers ****s up. Doesn't happen with any other carrier
Rogers uses standard time for its network while our phones uses local time. Rogers has to preset sms settings on the phone differently from everyone else.
what DOES matter is this. goto the market and download smstimesfix and follow the instructions to the point. tada problem solved
I am now with bell and no hassle though customer service SUCKS ASS
i have an imported sgs2 and it works fine running the stock messaging app. i did have that issue once when i flashed a rom that was using a modified messaging app.
there is a free app in the market, search for sms timestamp or rogers timestamp. i have used it on many android devices, including the sgs2, and it will allow you to fix that issue very easily with no noticeable effect on battery life
I'm using the Bell unit on Rogers and just noticed the bug. Wow this brings back memories of the same bug when I was using the HTC Hero.
What a pain in the ass. Going to try "SMS Fix Times" to see if that works.
Try upgrading to the unofficial KG3 with CF KG3 kernel. Fixed the issue for me.
The sms time bug is present on rogers and is easily fixed by the Sms time app people are mentioning, also if you aren't very fond of the stock messaging app you can install Handcent SMS and it automatically fixes it, its quite a nice app so its worth checking out.

I'm using a CF kernal right now and it hasn't fixed the problem for me. For the time-being i'm using the app everyone suggested. Seems to work well.
Are you also on KG3?

Ok...this is where the big noob in me comes out.
It's okay for me to go from KG2 to KG3? When I initially performed the root and flashed the KG2 ROM, the CF instructions indicate to stick with the same "code" (ex. KG2) that the kernal is based on with the shipped device.
Does that even make sense?
Anyways, if I go from KG2 to a KG3 ROM, how will it impact my device? Will it wipe all my data?

It's best to wipe everything, however there are Frankenstein versions of each build that will allow you to flash without wiping. As for CF, just choose the kernel that matches with the version you're flashing (i.e. KG3 or KG6).
My recommendation is to flash with a wipe as it will ensure that it isn't a setting or software that is causing the issue. I did a wipe from KG2 to KG3 and a no wipe from KG3 to KG6.
Follow the guides. You'll need download mode (power off then home + volume up + power), Odin to flash the files (NEVER USE THE .PIT) and the .tars to flash.

Flash stock first, boot up, then reboot and flash CF. Then you're set!

I am a T-Mobile client using their ROM. I upgraded on KIES suggestion the Kernel to the most recent version:
PDA KF1
Phone KG2
CSC KF3
I am running in Android 2.3.3.
Phone is rooted.
I used busy box 1.17.2 and 1.19. Currently, it is 1.18.4
Everything runs fine, however, shortly after SMS usages (Messages) or telephone calls the phone either goes in a loop of MEssage - FritzBox App - Firefox. I can close the last apps while the first stays alive. No usage of anything else is possible before reboot. Sometimes telephone calls are terminated and phone shuts down.
I hope I could explain a little bit what happens. I tried to look for an error log to be more specific.
My question now is:
What causes these problems, my best guess is that the kernel is the source as it it happens only after "Communications". Is this a known issue or is there more wrong to the phone? Too many apps or a specific app?

Does sound quite odd, try clearing cache, should the issue still exist, try flashing back to stock kernel and see if it still has the same problems. Is your root kernel source same as the original?

Root Kernel is KG1 from Odia. Happened before with the other Kernel as well. I already cleared cache. There is no insecure KG2 for T-Mobile available. Any idea how to make the Kernel rootable/ insecure. I suspect it must have something to do with the Kernel. For rooting, I try always to get the insecure version of the branded one. Different kernels (insecure/ secure) that do not completely match could cause this?
Maybe I have done something wrong which is the solution. Let's start from scratch how I rooted the phone.
I had original Kernel on the phone. From this one, I upgraded straight to the insecure, rooted and than just put one the most recent one.
Is this causing the problems? So better upgrade to the next official one, than use the insecure to root and than put the official one back on. All done via ODIN? Would this be the solution?

I used KIES to get the orginal KERNEL on the phone. So far no problems there. I want to test it over a couple of days and then root it again. Hope this fixed it.
2 Hours later
Okay, after roughly 2 hours I came back in this loop with Internet/ Messages. I cleaned the RAM and now it works fine. Why does this happen? Never had this before. Is this an App causing or just the Kernel. I could use ODIN to get back to the first Kernel that was preinstalled. Phone is currently not rooted. However, when I use ANDROID system Info (App), under BuidlINfo I see Type: USer and USer: Root. Should I probably unroot first as the system is confused and thus these errors appear?
Hope some could help here to clarify.
Need help and advice to fix problem!!!!!
Is this what I did wrong?
I had Kernel KF3 on the phone and put straight the insecure Kernel KG1 via Odin to the phone, rooted and then had original KG2 on it. This was the time when things got worse. Had the problem with KF3 already altough I first went to KF3 via KIES and then ODIN/ SuperOneclick/ ODIN for original firmware.
Does someone have an idea how to fix it? Going back to the first firmware and upgrade then to the most recent one? Anything to check in ODIN apart from the ususal ticks in F.Reset and AutoReboot?
Please help as it is get really annoying to reboot every now and then during the day.

I always thought power on/off is similar to Reboot. I was proven wrong. I just rebooted with volume up+home+power. Since then phone is stable. Sometimes TWLauncher crashes and reloads.
Thanks for the support. I think this has been fixed....hopefully.

KF3 and KG1 is very different...since the F and G is well, obviously different. Usually if you matched a KF4 with KF3, it should be ok but KG1 is quite different. As with anything at this point in time for you is to flash to a stable ROM currently released, which is KG5 since there are root kernel available for KG5. It is the most recent Kies official release. KH3 is newer but not official Kies. If you update to KH3, you may not be able to gain update through Kies, therefore stick with KG5. Both are Android 2.3.4 for you information, hope that solves the issue and remember to clear all Cache and Dalvik in your case since you already have issues...

Hi. I have the Canadian SGS2 from Virgin Mobile.
I want to update the firmware on the phone but Im unsure as to which one to use. Right now the latest firmware for this specific phone is UGKG2. My model number is GT-19100M. Im just wondering which firmware would be the best to update to. Ive been having a few issues with my phone and apparently updating the firmware is suppose to fix it (like the Wifi sharing garbage that starts every time you tun wifi on, but doesnt go away when you turn it off)
Anyway - which firmware would be best to update to, or if it would be best to just update to the latest which I think is XKH2.
Help is appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah sounds like you are on an older firmware which a lot of us battled back in May with the wifi-sharing battery drain. You'd be safe flashing any ROM really. Not sure if you prefer stock firmware only or not as some of the custom roms are great. I'd suggest KH3 as many bugs have been fixed that are evident still in your ROM. But you may want to check to see if anyone has a backup of your current rom in case you need to take it in for warranty. I have an i9000 but friends who are using i9000m Bell model are able to flash any i9000 rom without issue as there really is no difference from what I know. If you do flash, keep in mind that your boot logo will say i9000 and not i9000M, which is why you may want to look into backing up your current rom (by rooting and flashing a custom kernel to make a backup) just in case you need to flash back for warranty repair.
I use Batista Rom and really like it but I always tend to prefer custom roms. I think you'd be better on any newer rom, stock or custom to get rid of the bugs you got in that firmware you're on
so to be clear - I can download KH3 and use Odin to flash without issue, Even though Im on the stock I9100m Virgin Phone? And KH3 is a single TAR file that needs to be placed under PDA correct? I basically just want my phone to be the exact same as it is now except with the firmware updated.
Will anything be different or will it all seem the same as if I were to do a factory reset right now?
Also where KH3 is 2.3.4 and my phone is currently 2.3.3 - this wont lead to issues when using Odin?
Thanks for the replies.

Yes you can flash KH3 using Odin under the PDA section. Depending on where you downloaded the KH3 firmware it probably wont wipe your phone so I normally do a factory reset after just to make sure it's a clean install. Make sure you back up anything you don't want to loose. Also take note that the KH3 package includes files that will change your boot up image from I9100M to I9100. If you want to keep things as close to stock as possible you can remove these files from the package since you don't really need it: boot.bin/sbl.bin/param.lfs. All you need to do is use winzip or 7zip, double click on the .tar file and delete.
Haha. Thanks for the replies.
I'm happy to say that everything went without a hitch - and all of my problems have been solved. One funny thing, was the camera shutter sound - which from what I read is suppose to be hardware related - was actually fixed as well - no more sound when opening the camera app.
Battery Improved
Wifi Sharing bug = gone
Shutter Sound = gone
Random restarts while listening to music = gone
And I got list view
Thanks guys!
im in the same boat. i just got a galaxy s2 a couple days ago. I just want to flash my phone to 2.3.4. Which firmware do i download? Where did you find KH3? thanks
Been looking for a solution for the past 12 hours and have not found any.
Bought a stock i777 with 2.3.4, flashed with SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3 and a stock 2.3.5 AT&T ROM. After ANY kernel is flashed, I seem to lose WiFi capability. I have 5 wireless points near my house and it just gets stuck on "Scanning" and then the WiFi turns off. No points are even listed!
Currently running CW 5.0.2.3 kernel, 2.3.5 AT&T stock ROM, UCKJ1 baseband, kernel 2.6.35.7.
TL-DR - Flashed and lost wifi ability.
Which 2.3.5 ATT stock rom is this that you're referring to? Have a link to where you got it from?
I believe I got it from here: androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s2-i777-gingerbread-235-firmware/
Did it work initially when you went to 2.3.5? You said you've tried some different kernels, at what point did you notice the wifi broke?
I even reflashed using kernel + non-rooted system package located in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
Still no WiFi showing. Just says "scanning" then the wifi shuts off.
Update: Flashed Entropy512's stock package + nonrooted with no luck. No wifi. Flashed zetamax kernel after. Still no wifi.
Showed at that time: version 2.3.4, 1777UCKH7 baseband, 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel.
Flashed again with a I777UCKJ1 2.3.5 ODIN package that I know will fix the WiFi. It shows version 2.3.5, 1777UCKJ1 baseband, 2.6.35.7 kernel.
Seems like if I flash ANYTHING else besides this the wifi stops working on me.
Solved problems for myself.
Completely unrooted, reflashed ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar. This brought me back to the original AT&T firmware that came with the phone. I then flashed SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar and subsequently used SuperOneClick 2.2 to root.
WiFi seems to be working fine now. I am now running a stock 2.3.4 ROM, UCKJ1, kernel 2.6.35.7...Clockworks version.
If anyone else is having the same issue this should help.
Thanks for the updates. Sounds like a frustrating battle. Glad all is well.

Hrrrrm Having the same issues and the only way I could manage wifi to get back on was going to 2.3.5 which had it's own set of issues. I tried following your steps but one thing I noticed you said you were running UCKJ1 but isn't that 2.3.5? When I flash the exact same files I am still stuck without working wifi
Still noobing it up here - hopefully I can either stumble upon a fix like you did or spot someone else's that matches my issues...
Avoid that androidadvices.com **** - Half the time they link to firmware that isn't even for the device it claims it is, carrying a high risk of a hardbrick.
I only experienced this when I was trying to upgrade kernels using the SHOstock ROM. I get no wifi with siyah and can't send MMS with Entropy's kernel. That's the only time I've had those issues. Maybe you had a bad download? Glad you got it fixed though.
Just to clarify, those kernels work great with most other ROMS I've tried them on.

Had the same problem
I had this problem (with wifi, not mms) after rooting from 2.3.6. I eventually flashed Zedomax's kernel using mobile odin and wifi functionality was restored.
I still haven't moved on from there, but probably will sometime this week.

Weird, I cannot think of anything that would cause MMS to fail - what sort of errors?
It's happened to me several times after I flash a kernel. when I attempt to send an mms it just hangs and says sending but it never goes out. Could it be a conflict as I have Chomp set as my primary messaging app? Although if that were the case it should be able to send from one or the other but it doesn't. Can't remember for sure but I believe that I may have flashed the kernel cleaning script beforehand in each instance. The only way I've been able to fix it is to reinstall everything starting with the ROM. I'm sure it's user error.
As info, steps I took to try to fix before I restored:
1) reflash kernel
2) flash radio again
3) tried all 5 radios released (not a radio problem I'm guessing)
4) wipe dalvik and reflash kernel
5) run kernel cleaning script and reflash kernel
No dice, it was bizarre. Is this even the sort of event that you could get an error log from? There was no FC or any error message, you know? If it happens again what can I provide you that would help...can I do a logcat or whatever? ;-)
By the way,I could receive mms, just not send.

Hi,
I have an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

Don't ask.
Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Thats strange cos thats what I was thinking when I wrote it... lol
Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.
Hey there!
Before anyone asks, I have done the following.
Searched on google/XDA for solutions
Flashed different ROM's
Changed Kernels
Wiped all cache
Did factory Reset
I am currently having bad network problems with my phone.
I am running JellyBam 6.7.0 with default kernel.
Baseband: XXLQ6
Problem
I constently get No Service or "Emergency Calls only" in areas that I've never had emergency calls in. I am not aware of my old modem or RIL, and so am completely lost of what to go from here as I haven't found posts that could help my issue.
When I reboot my phone, turn airplane mode on, or just randomly it will go into the stage above, to where it will stay without signal for 10 minutes up to days (I've had it go for 2 days with no signal). When I try to search for networks (In places where there is 100% a network) it will say "error searching for network".
I have no idea what to do, and am rather scared. There have been 2 emergency situations to where I needed a phone, and yet mine had no signal.
My second question, is if I manage to get it back to stock ICS (4.0.4) and do all the updates through KIES, will I get the original modem + RIL back as well as the ROM? Or will I still need to flash that myself.
TLDR: If I reset it back completely to stock ICS, will everything that I have done (root, flash modems, flash kernels etc...) be erased.
Thanks so much for reading, I've got so much stress rigt now.
Are you getting no service all the time or only intermittently ? Also, check your IMEI in settings/about phone to see if it's the generic one (0049.....), whatever you do tho don't post your actual IMEI here. Just a yes/know answer to the 'is it the generic one' question will do.
If it's a constant thing, call your carrier to check if it's been IMEI blocked. If it's intermittent, flash a stock ICS rom as you'd suggested. You'll end up with whatever modem/baseband is attached to the rom you flash, and yes, you'll lose root & the kernel you're currently running will be replaced by the stock kernel in the rom you flash.

Yes it's only intermittent, so not a problem with the IMEI.
So if I find, and download stock ICS to bring it to factory it should be fine? If I were to, let's say, flash the ICS onto the phone, is there any way to keep the RIL+ Baseband and flash back JB? Or when flashing JB, will it replace whatever RIL+Baseband is attached with the ROM.
Also, thanks for the quick reply. I was expecting days for a response.
Forget about JB/custom roms/anything else until or unless you get your phone working normally again. Flash an ICS stock rom for your region.
And forget about the current RIL/baseband. It sounds like it may well be the cause of the problems you're having; quite possible if you've been mucking around with different RIL's in particular. Pretty sure I said in my PP that you'll end up with whatever baseband is lumped in with the stock rom you flash.
Actually, you might want to stick with a stock rom specific to your carrier if there is one, at least that way you know the modem/baseband will more than likely have been tested by your carrier & is likely to work well with it unless there are other issues (carrier side connectivity issues or other problems with your phone).
As to whether doing this will fix your issues, no idea. At the moment, and in the absence of any clue as to what's causing your issues, it's the best option you've got. If it doesn't fix the problems, then it's probably a carrier-side issue (possible given it only happens at certain times/in certain locations) or a physical problem with the phone (less likely).

Thanks.
I'm having problems to what official ROM to use from the list.
The only one on the list is Optus, but my phone is with virgin (on the optus network) should that be fine?
The rom is I9100XWLP8
Once again many thanks! I'll update you with the progress.
Yep. Flash the Optus rom given you're effectively using their network & see what happens.

Just downloaded it (Hotfile takes forever) and flashed through odin.
Worked fine after a factory reset. However, Kies won't update my phone.
Network seems to running smooth, so we'll see how it goes. The more things I do, I guess the more things I can rule out.
EDIT:
I updated the phone, and I get the message "Unfortunately, Application installer has stopped". What am I supposed to do?
Factory reset

That didn't work.
Anyhow, I managed to track down a 4.0.4 variant of the ROM I was using, and made sure the CSC, PDA and Baseband all matched up with what Kies wanted, and flashed it. I think the error occured I was trying to update a ROM with the wrong CSC and Baseband to one with the correct ones and Kies didn't like that.
