Hi guys,
Please help. i connected my phone to kies, and it said that there was an update. clicked update
and it downloaded and installed the firmware successfully. However, when i switched it on
it was considerably slower and was using 197mb ram compared to previously the phone wojld uuse 181 ram.when i scroll down any list eg in msgs, adobe pdf reader the fluid manner in which the list moves is lacking instead its staggering. Also polaris office failed to open. i feel it hasnt helped with the battery either. i tried to factory restore, to no avail. even after restore yhe build shows 14 instead of the initial 4.

That is an "i". As in KI4, not 14.
Try a factory reset. (you may not like that answer though)
Oops, i guess then that the previous build was 4 and now its I4. I tried factory restore but it didnt help as you might have guessed.

I don't think you are guessing right. Last three characters of the build (KI4, for example) represent year, month, and build number.
And I don't know what a "factory restore" is. Did you do a factory reset from menu > privacy > factory data reset?
Yes, what i did was a factory reset. Whatever the case after my firmware update my phone is alot slower and the battery lasts even less when i expected the opposite from a firmware update. And Either way my firmware WAS updated , or else it wouldnt go all the qay to download mode and not update anything. so the phone was updated and now it has problems. the previous build i dont rem but im sure it had a 4 at the end. so may be another letter then 4. but it wasnt I4. Thank you for your prompt reply

Well in that case you have three options. 1 is to try another factory reset. 2 is to try to re-flash the XWKI4 firmware yourself using Odin. You can get the firmware either from Intratech's official firmware thread here on XDA, or off samfirmware.com. 3 is if you're not comfortable doing that, take it to service.

Hi,
I am currently running the latest XEU UK firmware KI4
Firstly when i go into the gallery for the first time since reboot it say "loading..." for about 5 - 10 secs (Very slow) I have about 2 pictures on my sd card and have just purchased a new samsung 32gb card as i thought the old card was the problem but it appears not
Next when i reply to a text message I have to tap the message box a few times before the keyboard eventually pops up
Can anyone else confirm??
Thanks
Well I'm not 100% sure, but it may is software related. Yesterday I flashed a stock ROM and had similar problems.
Is it rooted? If yes, I'd do a backup with ClockWorkMod and flash another ROM to check if the problem is there too.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its not rooted, completely stock rom, ill just wait for the next update i suppose
thanks
You could check the background programs and see what's loaded...
Since its stock it might be bloatware problem, so I will say software for sure.
Backup data and factory reset is always the first solution .

Hi all,
Thanks for having me here I've been reading a long time but i finally had to register an account to post because i have ran into some problems. Here's what happened:
Chronological actions:
* I was running STOCK GB 2.3.6 (KPN_I9100XWKK2_I9100KPNKJ1_I9100XXKI4)
* I rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5 (Still running above mentioned software versions.)
a few months passed by.
* Backup current 2.3.6 state with CWM.
* I flashed ICS 4.03 (XEN_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3)
* I rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5
Problem:
All seemed fine at first glance. But when the phone went to sleep (screen off) it wont turn back on. Only when i press and hold the power button for over 10 seconds a few times it starts back up.
I removed cache and dalvik caches and rebooted. Still the same problem.
The battery was draining fast too, about 10% in 20 minutes, and the phone got pretty hot.
More actions:
* Backup current messed up 4.03 state with CWM.
* Restore CWM 2.3.6 KPN.
My phone seems fine and working properly. But when i open KIES my firmware is suddenly no longer supported and not updateable. Here's the weird part according to kies my firmware version is now: 'I9100XWKK2/I9100KPNKJ1/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWKK2 (KPN)'
My phone's output for *#1234#:
PDA: I9100XWKK2
Phone: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100KPNJ1
I did backup the kernel, system, and data partitions and had everything else selected with CWM. Now it must become blatantly obvious that i'm a noob.. Was i wrong in assuming that CWM does a complete backup, like a norton ghost image of the whole system? Why is the 'Phone' section still XXLPS and not back to XXKI4 ? Doesn't CWM backup/restore the baseband also ?
Does anyone know what i might have done wrong?
I fixed this by reflashing the old stock kernel and rerooting with cf-root and i'm back on:
PDA: I9100XWKK2
Phone: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100KPNJ1
Now i'm again updatable in kies.
I'm just trying to understand what i did wrong with doing backup and restore via CWM ?
I also would like to know if there's a solution for the ICS problem i had with the phone going dead when the screen goes off.
BTW I did NOT do a factory reset before upgrading to ICS. All my apps where there after i had upgraded.
Thanks for listening,
~Trail.
you want to fix it completly, theres one way
im assuming you know ur way with cwm.
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash your stock ICS using odin
3: after first boot skip everything and wait few minutes.
4: dial this code *2767*3855#
now after boot you should have a working phone.
the code will wipe your phone and please do not restore any thing you saved on GB.
start from scratch.
Thanks atfish,
Your method sure sounds like a fool-proof way to get ICS going. It also sounds like the last resort method to me. I heard many that have upgraded to ICS without doing a factory reset. I'd hate to reinstall everything i'm using.
I'm hoping for a less rigorous method
I still would like to know why CWM didn't backup/restore the phone completely, or what i did wrong.
~Regards,
~Trail.
ill be surprised if someone who has went from GB to ICS without wipe is running trouble free.
Gb to ICS is major change of OS so its better to start from scratch and stay tension free

Just keep flashing stock roms until it is fixed .

I do have games on there, but also half a gazillion tools
I'm trying to deduct where it went wrong so i just backed up current state and restored the same backup from a day ago and i'm still updatable. That backup was fine.
Just wanted to make sure the backup didn't contain I9100XXLPS by some error, but it really is I9100XXKI4 like i thought it was. Or CWM doesn't do anything with the baseband.
Does this mean CWM doesn't backup/restore the baseband?
~Trail.
Wow i did what you suggested starting with a fresh system and i haven't noticed any problems yet.
I first made backups of my sd card just in case. And used titanium to backup my programs.
Low and behold after booting the playstore started restoring my apps automaticly.. so thats what you ment.. LMAO.. even my contacts are back.. lil; did i know... big brother google does have some usefull features afterall
EDIT: After restoring apps i have the same problem as before. When the screen goes off it never comes back on again..
Isolated the problem to SETCPU. Once deinstalled the phone works just fine.

So I finally updated to ics over the software update function. I noticed right away that phone isnt as smooth as it was. Some apps lags including browser and only youtube videos runs good others like nba.com/videos started to lag. So the update is a fail. I have all the updates even tryed force gpu rendering but it didnt do a thing. Battery life probably also bad(still early to say). So are they gonna fix it or i should go back to stock 2.3.4 ? Factory reset is not an option.

1. Flash a "good" ICS ROM:
If you want to stay stock, flash a new version from Intratech's Official Firmware thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
On my phone, XWLPD performs very well.
2. If you have issues after flashing, shut down the phone, press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons till recovery menu appears.
Then wipe cache partition and reboot.
That will solve most issues.
Good luck !
if you dont want to enter in the Rooted world, do these,
Download the "File expert" from market, backup all the application,
Move your stuff on the SD card to the PC, (for a safety)
do the factory reset from phone menu,
download the File expert again, resotre your apps,
since you are not rooted, you cant save your data of the apps and settings...but downloaded data should be safe on the SDcard( 'android/data' forlder)
I advice you 2 things:
1) be patient and wait. When I moved from GB to ICS I wanted to go back to GB because ICS seemed to be a real failure in every aspect. After a while I eventually made up my mind and finally entered the root world and now I am the happiest person in the world
2) root your phone
3) try VK rom
wiping out cache didnt do much. I mean everything is ok but videos on browser that requires flash lags a little bit. So I guess its a clash between ics and flash? Since a lot of people are suffering from that
So yesterday my phone popped up with an update. I installed it not thinking anything of it. Well now my ZTE Supreme won't work. It turns on but it will not connect to the Virgin Mobile Service and I cannot get the camera to work and it runs slow and when I go to click on an app the phone basically freezes. What are my options?
I have a ZTE Supreme running Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Was your phone rooted and / or modified before the update? Is it an official Virgin phone or flashed from another service? Please share the build version of the software update. But basically your 3 options are to factory reset, reload original system (after reset), or installing a custom recovery and custom rom.

I hadn't done any rooting to the device. Also I did a reset like 5 times already. Didn't help. (By that I mean I went into the setting and hit the reset button and it wiped everything.) That didn't work at all. Also this is an official ZTE Supreme I bought from their website about 6 months ago.
Where do I go to get the build version? I see baseband version which is N9810B01. Is that what you wanted?
I am getting really pissed thinking that my phone might be ****ed because of an update :/
Just thought of a possible issue with the data... See if you can update the profile and prl in the Settings. Most likely will be near the bottom above About Devices, or in About Devices. If that doesn't work, dialing this: ##rtn# is supposed to wipe user data and activation data so upon reboot should attempt to reconnect to Virgin services. As far as the camera, well, try clearing the caches of the camera and gallery in the Settings / Application Manager / All. As far as the slowness, I can't think of anything besides reloading the OS or a custom one. If the issue is in the /system then factory data resets don't touch that part.

When I tried to update PRL I got erorr 25606. Tried dialing that thing you suggested but I can't get the phone to come up. Just keeps freezing and then something pops up saying launch failed or something like that. Also, how do I reload OS or a custom? Sorry I can be a bit of a newb to this kinda stuff. I don't normally do anything to my phone other then the basics.
Oh I just got the phone to come up and I put in what you said and it says 'please input MSL... what is that?

You can try this app to get your MSL (also referred to as SPC depending on the situation) http://www.4shared.com/android/M8qqY_ge/MEID_Converter_052.html
But I provided links to both, the files you need, and the guide for how to install them. Did you not even bother to click on them?

I did click on them. But like I said I am a big newbie with this stuff. I have never dealt with any of this stuff before. Do I wanna download the system, boot, or recovery? (from the link you provided...) Also, I entered my phone into FTM mode but now what? I'm really sorry, maybe I'm just stupid.

It'd be best if you read through the thread and then asked questions afterwards if there is something that isn't spelled out somewhere throughout the thread. They aren't THAT long and you could learn a lot. This stuff is not rocket science, but it does need patience and reading comprehension. The threads there are populated by n00bs and advanced users as well, so there's a good chance someone has had the same questions as you do. The people on those threads will also probably be more likely to help as it's not a very popular phone and not much support for. xda doesn't even have a specific forum for it. But, as you start, you'll need a working Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/8.1) computer or Linux, if you're more comfortable with that for some reason. A good data sync cord. The correct drivers. You probably only need the system.img, but won't hurt to do the others to get a complete full restore.

Hi all,
Post an install of the latest nougat image via manual flash ( build Nr - TOS089A-NMF26F) on Swift2, I see that the space occupied by system files results in about 11 Gigs approx ( out of 16 gigs, only 14.6 Gigs available , and from this, 11 gigs already eaten up by the system). And the worst part is, I have disabled all the bloatware ( duo, hangouts, books, music, etc. ). Could anyone explain me why the 11 gigs? and if am I the only one facing this issue or is this expected?
Thanks in advance.
I noticed that too. A factory reset will bring it back to 5.32gb. It seems the download for the OTA update persists after the update has been applied, but a reset removes it.
Hope that helps.

Hi bushbladewill,
Aha. That makes sense. But this was not an OTA update. Since I was on the alpha testing , I got the release earlier than everyone and I used TWRP to flash it ( which I should not have done in retrospective). But I am going to give the factory reset a try and hopefully that should work. Will keep posting. Thanks

so the factory reset did indeed help, saw a lot of boost in the performance and responsiveness time and also the sensor response time improved by leaps . so thats quiet something. Thank you very much.
Brilliant, glad to hear it. A friend of mine also has a swift 2x and his is the same. I have not seen it mentioned in any other social media though so i think it has largely gone unnoticed. I have emailed wileyfox about it as part of my feedback to [email protected] but have had no response as yet.
