[Q] VPN use in ICS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Tried to search but the limited search function in Tapatalk gave no results. I've been trying to setup a VPN connection to StrongVPN but it fails every time. Tried PPTP, L2TP..
It's all good on GB, ios, win 7 but I can't seem to get it to work on ICS (latest Sammy LPQ).. anyone else experiencing these problems with maybe a pointer to where I'm going wrong?

Same here - a further search reveals that this is a known bug (ipsec-tools) and that the android team is working on fixing with no ETA
Sad.

This might help
Not working for me as well (and was working on GB) so I was doing some searching here... and came across this, perhaps it will help for devs working on ICS roms:

Hope it helps someone!

Thank the OP in the above link if it works for you!
Got it up and working on my phone. I'm running Shostack2 3.1.1
Many similar threads on XDA , NOT COOL !1!
I can see multiple similar threads on half-baked Google now from JB which is still quite buggy... atleast one in all smartphone's theme section ...
You should mention whats working and whats not before directing someone to this link ... is not very usable as of now.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.

Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!

After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.
tks,trying...

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

Shostock no longer has Google Now included, Shoman removed it..:thumbup:

Are you using a custom kernel?
The feature has been disabled by Samsung (patent war)..
A fixed firmware will be released soon.

Solve ICS rom wifi login problem

When you update to / or install a new ICS rom, it can occur that your device cannot find your home wifi anymore, when your 2.3x rom had no issues. Searching the web I see a lot of users have problems with this.
Change your router channel to anything under 10 and it should do the trick.

[Q] Playstore Question

Hi Guys,
Ive just upgraded my S3 to the Zdroid ROM 4.3 from the Lightforce ROM 4.2.2 Leak. Since doing so I can no longer access the Playstore or Amazon Appstore and some other apps on the Wifi at work, some however work fine like Tune in player pro.
I work in the UK in Norwich but somehow my companies internet connection goes through America so everything thinks im outside the UK, Iplayer, Freeview apps and the like.
What im trying to figure out is
How come my 4.2.2 rom was fine and I got onto everything using the same wifi connection
And
Is there anything I can do or am I stuck with 3G only for certain apps if I need them at work?
Any help appreciated
I did try and search but I couldn't find anything much to do with this sort of issue.
Either flash a stock rom or ask in your rom thread.

Thanks for the suggestion but its already deactivated.
Are other people in the office having the same issue or just your phone?

Just me as far as im aware, that's why I thought it was the ROM..
Sounds to me like it has to do with ZDroid 4.3 Rom. I would check with rom thread if its a known bug. Maybe try flashing a different 4.3 Rom and see if that fixes the issue, that way you can be sure its the rom.
