****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

aye mine has been working at a low signal too until a couple of days ago, but if i turn wifi off when its slow, then turn it on again the strength is still silly low but the speed is quick
 
Just trying to update the phone and it keeps saying:

Firmware upgrade stopped because GT-19100 has been disconnected. Please check the connection and try again.

any idea's ? phone is connected by USB :S
 
Well that worried me, was trying to upgrade and it got to the point where the screen on the phone says 'Downloading' don't disconnect the device etc etc and then Kies said it had failed and I'd need to run the Emergency Firmware Recovery :o

Tried the emergency recovery a couple of times and it wasn't working, couldn't do anything so I tried to turn off the device and power button didn't work and wasn't planning to take the battery out just yet, ended up disconnecting and reconnecting the usb cable, tried the emergency recovery again and it worked, phone back up and running with the latest update, phew... :p
 
For manual update if you're having problems with Kies

Kies giving me the dll load fail error during firmware update so I kicked it in the teeth and used Odin. Super duper now. Flashed the KDD insecure kernel, re-rooted, then flashed KE1 original kernel and all is good.

Odin and SuperOneClick make rooting and flashing so easy on this :p I remember the ADB command days......*feels old*
 
How do you update the firmware on this phone? Is it using the Kies software? Because i've downloaded that, and it's unable to connect. USB debugging is turned off, and Kies is also running on the phone when it's connected. The phone seems to connect fine, it's in Device Manager, and shows up in My Computer too.

So W T eff?
 
Got my phone today, only thing that is confusing me, is there any way to search in the web browser, as the only place i can see at the minute is the address bar, and you can't add spaces there

Click to expand...

The address bar is the search bar, and you can add spaces. If you want the proper search bar press and hold the menu button.
 
Still see the below error when the phone reboot after a flash or hard reset. Does anyone else have the same error.

Code: 
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/XEU/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.

Now that a lot of you will be flashing please check the device on first boot please. It's the last part of the yellow text. I just want to see if it's some error in my file system.
