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

After :)

LP7 is a decent build :)


There's a lot of improvements and nice things added I can see. My gallery opens instantly now where it used to take several seconds. For what it's worth, quadrant used to give me scores of 34xx and now it gives me 39xx to 40xx, so the phone must be faster now. I quite like the new way of taking screenshots.

But I couldn't restore my backup I'd created while on gingerbread, kies keeps coming up with 'restore failed'. So thank god the upgrade didn't really lose any data. But I had to redo some accounts on the phone and reinstall one widget that stopped working. Also, my call logs are lost since trying to restore the backup.

My samsung password lock screen is now noticeably different with bigger numbers, clock and date added, so that's cool.


On the phone app I'm sure I used to be able to access contacts from the keypad screen or am I going mad? :confused: When I click on the phone icon (1) which brings up the keypad screen 1a, didn't there used to be the contacts tab that is in screenshot 2a or was there always only three tabs, keypad, logs, favourites? I have to press icon 2 to get the contacts screen 2a. I'd prefer just one phone tab with keypad, contacts, logs. Is that possible to configure?

I'm pretty sure they took it out in ICS no idea why though!

3rd party dialers offer it though as far as I'm aware.

Ah, so it was there and I'm not going mad then. :p
Might look into a 3rd party dialer. Any free one recommended that I can install from android market/google play whatever it's called these days?

I know mrk has said in the past "dialer one" there is also Go dialer too. I'd give a few a try though find one that is best for you :)
 
Awesome, even though I've bitched and moaned about Orange they offered me a pretty good deal for an upgrade I couldnt say no :(

pressing the menu button while on the dialer allows you to choose contacts...although not the same as you want obviously :p
 
Since upgrading to ICS I've been unable to download .vcf files or send my own MMS messages, the messaging client just force closes on me after a couple of minutes.

Is this affecting all roms do people know? :)

Mildly irritating but I do enjoy Wanamlite apart from that.

I still use Dialer One, it might not be as pretty as exDialler (no ICS theme) but by the power of grey skull, it works a treat and has full features.

I'll check it out.




Anyone know how I can get the UK female voice back I had before the ICS for text to speech? I'm pretty sure it's the same voice that I can still get in google sat nav.


In language and input under text to speech output, I can choose either google text to speech or samsung TTS to read out my text. Google has one american female who sounds more phillipino and one english male whose voice sounds shaky. And in samsung TTS, there's just one english voice, another female who sounds phillipino. Is that all the options I have for text to speech voices, have they taken away the voice I used to have? I use it to read out my appointments in my calendar snooze app.
 
Does anyone know if you can still link contacts in ICS? I've just installed the Resurrection ROM and i've now got loads of duplicates (i.e. Facebook/Google/Twitter accounts for each person).

One other option I couldn't find anywhere, was the Out Of Office function :O

Are you viewing more than one accounts contacts? Menu > contacts to display > then select just Gmail?
