hi everyone
i`ve got a problem with my sgs2.
since the last update version, my phone doesn`t run smoothly anymore.
when scrolling through the menu or contactlist it`s like the page is holding back. before the update i haven`t got any problems with it. I`ve gone to a servicepoint to reset the whole system to the earliest version. didn`t work. I`ve send it back to where i bought it, they say we`ve repared it... nothing seems to have happened.
it`s so frustrating to see that this expensive phone, witch they say is the fastest and the best of it`s kind, seems to have such a problem.
Does somebody know what to do? because I don`t.
greetz marcel
so you have used warranty repair?? May as well root and install a faster custom rom
since the op doesn't come from the deep internet....... i shal explain that there is a search function in this website.
And i am not certain this specific post will help OP in any way, since he just sent it to warranty, due to...that.....
Sorry but sincerely, why did you buy a Samsung Galaxy S2? are you coming from an iPhone?
[EDIT] Anyway, this question might be useful for future reference, in a mere chance that a new user might actually use this so mythical search function.
If after you updated the operative system version to *whatever* you can always revert it to the version you previously had. This might conclude to a confusing stage of your life, since samsung seem to have hit an infinite loop of versions releases and most probably you might get more confused than you already are.
Simply follow guides and instalation instructions in the Development sections... !!!***BUT***!!! remember, development section and threads are strictly to that finality, development. Questions and other doubts are to be posted in the Q&A or General sub-sections.
I honestly wish that i dont sound rude in any and every way, and if i do, i hereby ask for forgiveness... -.-'
You can factory reset and test .
You can install a later stock rom and test .

Yes you sound rude and probably no help to OP, also the condescending tone in your post makes this community look bad for the novices who have genuine problems IMO. Is it because he has 1 post? If he was saying something like "WHY PHONE HAZ LAG? WHAT BEST FIRMWARE FOR NO LAG?" then I would understand your post.
Anyway's, good luck OP! I had the same problems with custom ROM's and Kernel's (firmware) but since I was doing custom stuff, I voided my warranty and had to deal with it myself via full wipes and a kernel cleaning script amongst all the flashing. How did you try to update your firmware?

I get the same thing happening, but only on the call logs.
I think it holds about 500 logs and every so often when I try to scroll down a few pages it starts to freeze then flows again and keeps doing that the more I keep scrolling down.
I think it happens because sometimes I don't use that list for a long period so it needs to reload the list. Also could be the first time after I restore a backup.
Anyway, I just keep scrolling all the way to the bottom and after that all is good again. It a bit like loading the gallery for the first time. After that it loads quickly.

i`ve updated via kies. ever since i use 2.3.4 it`s not running smoothly.
i allready set it back too the earliest version. i`ve asked samsung what to do. they told me too send it back. i`ve done that. but nothing seems to work. the problem is still there. i`ve been thinking of a custom rom, but then i loose my waranty. i hope that when the new update too icecream arrives it will fix the problem. when it doesn`t i will look out for a custom rom.
i`ve never had an iphone (dirty word)

I use the rom in my sig - no lag, never had a force close, faster than stock and battery life is better - you could try a rom like that - or wait MONTHS for your update to arrive

Hi guys!
I've been rather adamant to install ICS as I considered it to have too many bugs yet (like problems with video acceleration, unable to do a goddamn call, etc).
As of now I've been using the GB ROM Simple & Clean...Anyway, I'm not completely newbie to flash ROMs. I'm starting to think ICS might be becoming reliable already, so I'd like to give it a shot. So here come my questions:
Is there any XXLP2 (or better) ROM already prepared for CWM? I don't quite like the idea of using ODIN. (If so, is it too customized? I'd like a close to the original google experience)
Can you get back to a GB NAND backup if you don't like what you see?
Which would be your recommendation? Thank you!

There are quite a few cwm ICS roms which you can find in Android development section. Which means no bootloader flash and easy restore to older rom.
There are ROM's like infected,ics resurrection which are ics theme and replace Samsung apps with google alternatives in cases of calendar, gallery, camera etc.
My recommendation would be to wait for an official ICS or a more stable build by which time more aosp feel rom's would have become more stable, which didn't seem to be the case IMO. (the stock leaked one seems to be far more stable than these builds atm from my admittedly limited trial. )

You can try Bezke ultraics rom. i heard good reviews for it and i tried it myself, you can do so by using CWM. you can as well try the leaked ics but it only has TW because it is released by Samsung. this is done by ODIN.

I know, and I've seen the pattern so many times already. But that's decreasing with the time. Things are starting to get comfortable for people arriving, and some decide to stay. And since some are saying the ROMs are starting to be rather stable, I'd like to give them a shot.

Yes maybe but the majority of noobs want to flash ICS when they are not even capable of flashing stock . Two hours later they start posting help help .But i have of now given up on trying to guide users to learn first as its a waste of time .

So far not bad. I'm trying the Wanamlite, and it looks damn gorgeous. I'm having a hell of FC and random reboots. It's a pity. When it's not crashing or rebooting, it really performs beautifully. I could get used to the voice dictation so fast (forget about swype-dragon speaking combo). Since I didn't see people complaining about these reboots (that much), I take something went wrong on my side, so I'll give it another shot. Otherwise I'll try another ICS. I just feel it's getting rather close the date in which an stable version is released, and I'd prefer to jump from ICS already than from GB
used this thread to my actual try of LP2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651
full stock, only deodexed and CF-Root kernel.
After getting rid of all samsung hubs and SNS apks ( you can use the sitcky in themes and apps section started by Pulser_g2 for that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924 ), no more force closes for me.
trying now KP* kernels as someone reported they could fix the random data connection loss present on LP2 when phone is asleep.
I have the GS2 for Sprint and I just got the new 4.0.4 update - I'm not happy. I was excited to get it, but after using it for one day I was less than thrilled. They have really retarded the ability to move quickly through the phone, LOTS of screen animations and transitions are added and really do make things much slower as the screens pops around on you and places buttons in different locations. I want these turned off ASAP. I went to the developer menu and "turned them off" as I was instructed from another website, but that didn't do a damn thing. Every menu change has a cute little animation adding time and lagging my muscle memory screen presses. The phone is laggy now, it wasn't before, at all.
Anyone else share my strife or know how to fix my issue?
Thank you
I totally disagree...since 4.0.4 firmwares have started to come out, i even managed to stay on stock firmware for a couple of weeks without flashing custom ones. S2 can take care of animations without lag.

Well, you "managed to stay on it for a couple weeks" implies that eventually you didn't like it.
I Don't have lag with the animations, I have lag with nothing happening, and THEN whatever it is I was going into pops up.
Test - right now I hit home screen and it takes about half a second, going into anything takes the same amount of time. This sounds rather trivial, but when comparing to the way it originally operated I think we're talking about a set back.
I'm not opposed to switching to another rom, but I've gotten to the point in my life where I use my phone enough for actual work that I don't have the time. Ideally, I would like the old ROM back, and rooted removing the bloatware.
I will do some research to see if I can achieve my goals, I just wanted to see if someone had an answer for my questions and see if I could avoid the issue altogether and get over the "Facebook layout" syndrome.

You're in the forum for the i9100, a phone that doesn't even work on Sprint.
The Sprint Galaxy S2 is the Epic 4g Touch.
No matter what phone , wether the original i9100 or the sprint one , things at first may seem slow , til everything is caching and stuffs ... Do a factory reset or format /data and /cache .. Would defenitly make a difference..(if it still lags try to disable the animations and transitions OR activate the force GPU and see)
I didn't post this in here, it got moved. I think...

Background: Updated my ICS unlocked i9300 to JB finally last night.
Can anyone advise why when i was on ICS, i was experiencing no lag at all and the entire experience was really nice, but now i have upgrade to JB the experience is very poor due to allot of lag and general system slowness? For example, if i kill the messaging app from long pressing the home key (with a kill all open tasks), when i re-open the messaging i will be greeted with only phone numbers on the display initially but then after a sec or 2 the names and pics are populated. Also another exapmle would be the keyboard (stock one), when clicking in the URL box of any browser or in the messaging app (again stock as before), the keyboard takes quite some time to appear!?!
It seems very odd to me as JB is supposed to be very good with it's "butter" but is not performing for me at all in the way it should?!?
Any help greatly appreciated as i now no-longer like my phone very much :crying:

Problem is not jellybean... its you.
There's no way jellybean is very slow compare to your ics..
If ics is faster for you then go back to the ics.
I got the exict same problem ! the main theme ringtone in the start booting screen plays but no video just black screen with the sound.. Afrer it boots its very very laggy and after like 15min the phone freez with black screen.
i got the update today im from kuwait .

'Crest+', very unhelpful answer and the type of answer you'd expect from dumb asses that use nokia. If you bothered searching the net you'd realise that this issue has affected allot of people and i thought i'd ask the experts at xda - but i guess trollers have made it here as well.
Wiping was not done in my case due to the fact that it was not advised to do so via any point of the update and should have been setup to be more like the upgrade from froyo to GB and actually worked properly without having to do so on other devices. Why would anyone want to wipe the cache and dalvik if not prompted to do so via the official process?!?

Here's what you need to do... try flashing a full firmware from sammobile...probably the latest firmware to make sure its updated...
then flash it using odin... I never experienced this so called lag that's why I answered the question based on my experience.

Not a problem, i will try the factory reset first as i should have the full latest seeing as it was stock updated through kies last night. Worst case scenario is i go back to custom romming it.

Due to me not having much time at the point of needing to format and restore i decided to carry on for a few days until getting the opportunity, but oddly the issue seems to have gone now
The only thing i can link it to is the fact that i ran through all the settings and was greeted with the annoying 'help' popups, and once i cycled through al the menus getting rid of the last popup...no more lag The phone is running very smooth (as it should), but really can't see how the menu aids were slowing it down (if they were), but they are the only thing i can link the issue to :silly:

Yeah i did this as well after the post about the guide menus (forgot to post update), and the phone is back to it's glorious state.
Nothing was the same after rooting my atrix.
-The HD games started to freeze, and on the worst cases crashing (e.g. GTA VC).
-Background apps (e.g. Gauge Battery Widget) rebooted very often (specially when browsing).
-When surfing multiple heavy pages, the browser tends to crash sometimes. Also when it crashes, it returns me to the start screen and if i have a live wallpaper running it stops and changes to a generic black screen.
-When trying to upload an image file on an image board, the browser refreshes the page.
-Overheats without reason from time to time. Seriously, its like a pocket heater.
-When the screen animations are activated, returning from landscape to vertical orientation turns the notification bar blurry and when i pull down the notifications tray it turns the screen blurry as well. Though it returns to normal when going back to landscape.
This is a major issue for me since if i turn off the screen animations, i can't tell if an app i opened is running (e.g. YouTube). And like i don't use the stock video player and use another player (e.g. MX player), when the animations are activated instantly crashes when opening a video.
Also before rooting, the battery only lasts me 5 hours without running apps and the problem persists ever since.
One thing. The first time i got the phone it came with stock FROYO 2.2.1 and i changed it right away to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 skipping the 2.3.4, i unlocked the bootloader first and then rooted it.
Is there anything i can do to fix the problems previously mentioned?
I have a feeling you are an international user and did not flash the ramfix, search for it in development section, download to sd and flash.

Every tutorial i looked for didn't mentioned that, i'll give it a try.
But if i do that, does it mean i will have to do a hard reset?
It is surely mentioned in subsequent posts in the tutorial thread.
RAM fix has nothing to do with data so factory reset (or hard reset as you call it) is not needed.

Not in the tutorials i've followed, they never mentioned it. FYI none of the tuts where from here.
Good to know i won't have to hard reset. So were does the zip go, internal or external?
always follow xda, it's the best
as for the zip, place it wherever you like and flash it with a custom recovery like cwm or twrp
Yeah I could never understand people who follow a tutorial on forum X then ask about it on forum Y... Makes no sense to me. Why are people on forum Y supposed to know anything about forum X or its contents?
Questions about a tutorial on some forum should be asked on that same forum.
And yeah, everything you need is on XDA, no need to go search for random sources.

Ramfix may not be mentioned in root tutorials because it's related with unlocking bootloader. Since you first unlocked, then rooted, you'll have to flash it anyway.

Off topic, but now that you brought the subject. I have seen this a while ago, and looks tempting but is it convenient for me to use the leaked ICS rom? Is there any bugs in it to be concerned about?
It's a shame that motorola decided to leave the atrix in the shadows with GB, they could at least made ICS the final and definitive update. I mean, the rom looks like it was 99% finished and ready to launch.

I followed both root and bootloader unlock tutorials and NONE brought that out. Since i'm LATAM, it made sense for me to seek in latin android forums instead here because of the firmwares, and boy they skip a lot of useful info in those forums.
Also, how do i exactly run the ramfix? Im eager to fix the buggy notification tray right away, that and fixing my battery not charging at 100%. I tried pulling the battery while charging and it turned worse, it went from 90% to 70%
I also need to know how to wipe the battery data from the CWM.

If it's running well for you, you should consider yourself very lucky. You should also read some of the threads concerning it and related ROMs (AtrICS etc) - the thing is so buggy very few people even wonder anymore how come it was never released.
Even if it's running so great for you as you say, I still wouldn't keep it if I were you. The ROM is a development build, it was never meant to be used as a daily driver. But that's just me.

I agree with u. But Motorola is infamous for such antics. One if the reasons I don't have a RaZr anymore. But it is running good. I will b honest. Its OK. This phone isn't made for anything but GB in mind. I would pick a low end, second hand Windows Phone any day over this.
But this is as far as it goes for Atrix. Jelly Bean...naah.

It's a flashable zip so just install it like gapps or a rom. Install from sd card

Use a custom recovery... You can manually adjust the cmdline but flashing the zip is much easier

He girls and guys,
first off all: I wish you you all a merry chrismas.
I have a problem with my home button on my Galaxy S2. Physically it seems to work, the display lights up when i hit the button.
On the software side it doesn't work, if I it the button nothing happens.
I'm on latest S2 slim saber by fusion jack.
I would have posted directly into fusionjacks s2 saber mod thread unfortunately this is my 8. post, so I'm not allowed to do so
Any Ideas?

Did it work with stock ? If it does, try a dirty flash of the rom you're using now (no wipe), then try a factory reset if that doesn't work, then try a clean install (I.E with wipe) of the rom you're currently using. If you're still having problems, try a clean install of stock to double check/make sure it's not a hardware problem. If it still works fine with stock, either read the rom thread or wait until you have enough posts to post in the thread.
Thanks for your fast reply:good:
Long time since I ago since I flashed last stock It used to work, even with slim saber kit kat. About 5 days ago it stopped working.
If I enable the navigation bar (=software home key on the touch screen) it doesn't work either.

You'll also have ten posts up if you reply to this post of mine Still try those things before you go posting in a dev thread though, that's what's expected around here. Dev threads are really meant for development stuff, and your problem isn't necessarily an issue with the rom (at least not until you've done a bunch of troubleshooting as per my suggestions).
Thanks for your sugestions!
I'll try to flash an old slim saber on 4.3 where the button used to work. Just found out, that the home button works in TWRP.

Probably not a hardware problem then. Yep, good idea. Try stuff like that out, and if it's still a problem, then ask in the thread. Otherwise you risk getting a new one ripped by some people (and not unreasonably) for not troubleshooting first.
Flashing 4.3. und reflashing 4.4 did it. Home button is working again.
There you go. Sorted it all by yourself. Good work
