thinking to move to samsung stock rom. now on paranoid rom where stock ICS i guess..

I feel stock ICS bland. Prefer TW UIX. Overall S3 is better than S2. Just need dev to start built custom rom. But like usual i always prefer stock rom than custom.

Hmm ok, thanks for feedback. Hopefully i can try it out at a store soon have u tried smart stay or s voice?

Still cannot update mine. 

You can download from CheckFus:

will upgrade too but maybe with SGSIV...SII serve me good for the time being

Hi - this is issue with Samsung driver on win7. Google how to reinstall i9100g driver with win 7 and follow steps. I had the same problem before upgrade and once the re-install complete, the problem went away (i reboot comp again after re-install driver just to be sure). MY I9100G is Stock ROM ICS 4 now from Samsung and no intention to go Custom ROM.

Upgrading Stock ROM from KIES is painful and needs patience as server keeps disconnecting or time out. I did mine yesterday night around 12am and there were still some disconnections and timeouts but eventually after about 7 times, it completed the download and started the upgrade ICS ROM process.

The other thing to check is to make sure you have disabled Debugging mode in Apps>Development>Debugging - if not, KIES will not recognise your I9100G when you plug into windows.

IRO the connection to win7 issue on I9100G after ICS upgrade, I did not experience issue with KIES when I did a backup after the upgrade. Maybe can try the re-install driver solution and see if it helps.

Please always do a backup first before you upgrade eventhough it is suppose to be non-wipe upgrade. You never know what can happen.

Overall, ICS upgrade is worthwhile (it took a while to complete though) to make i9100G a smoother experience than GB when multitasking. Good job by Samsung dev team although there are still a lot of room for improvement when compared to the custom ROMS.

my sister just updated her s2-non G unit using wifi from About Phone.. after successfully download to 100%, install, then reboot itself. now stucked at

<Samsung GALAXY SII GT-I9100> for almost 2 hours.

what i have done
** unplug the battery and put it back again
** clear the cache, format/wipe factory rest using 3 combo press

Hi S2 owners, I want to know how is S2's performance and it's camera. I heard S2 lags and the camera always trying very hard to focus and makes taking photos very hard. What do you guys say?

camera UI become slow.... especially switching between front and back camera... AF a bit slow...
Battery drained faster, RAM cached higher

You'll need an active internet connection to download this. It will create a dbdata.db file when first started. Delete the file and try again (try Administrator permissions if you still can't get it).

I am connected to the internet, tried deleting the file but still same, maybe coz im using company's pc the admin locked the access d lol

The Camera for ICS now, AutoFocus become slow ? why ? :/

Ahh. Try it at home then.

That is because it needs to download the dbdata.db when it is ran for the first time. That dbdata.db contains all the product codes for all of Samsung's Android and Bada phones.

Non-g AutoFocus is still the same with how Gingerbread was. Yours is G?
