Hi!

I updated my international S2 via KIES. Now I'm having one issue: Sometimes I cannot turn the WiFi on, it says: Turning WiFi on, and nothing happens, I cannot try to turn the WiFi off, the buttun "stucks" I need to reboot the phone. Did it happen to anyone? It very rare but annoying.

Thx!

        AnonD-14018, 19 Mar 2012dont understand why you need to use another app for sms whe... moreSome say the bug with Go sms Pro... sending 2 sms when sending 1 sms, is fixed in lp7, and that would prove that there is a bug in lpq made by Samsung and not a real bug in Go sms Pro!

                      What will happen to existing applications like games(e.g Real Racing 2) which were purchased from Market(or now Play). Would all of them be compatible and available after updating to ICS?

                      Thanks.

                          I hope Sony Mobile will do better than Samsung did with the ICS update.

                            So when can we update our Samsung SII to ICS here in the Philippines? Or will these be for all SII for only selected countries?

                              for rectification the recent apps page is just recent apps, swiping them away would not close them, just deleting it from history

                                    AnonD-252, 18 Mar 2012The batterylife is good when when the phone is not being us... moredont understand why you need to use another app for sms when the stock one has everything you need . and is decent looking.

                                    If it doesnt work properly its a problem with the app not being optimised not the phone itself.

                                      Beside the few enhancements from vanilla ICS(probably they were forced to include them)the user experience is boring as hell. Touchwizz is still the same/lame ...
