Anybody can help ?!!
My Samsung Galaxy S2 came with a 4.0.3 Android version (Ice Cream Sandwich) .. Although it's the newest version, but I feel that it's not compatible with my phone ! It causes many problems such as force closes on FB application, Whatsapp, turns off suddenly, etc .. In many occasions, I had a black screen while being in a certain application then getting a message of "This application is not responding" , then goes out of it !
I know many people who got the S2, but none of them had it with the 4.0.3 version .. All of them had it with the Gingerbread version which seemed to be very stable and lovely ! Every one got surprised when I told him that I'm having such problems, knowing that I got my new phone since 2 weeks only !!
Moreover, when I go to "About Phone" feature, then to Android Version, Baseband version & Kernel version and these stuff .. they are all "off" and not enlightened as the situation is in the Gingerbread version !!
What's the real problem ? Is my phone rooted or what ? Please Help !
Its most likely rotted

download root checker to quickly see if you're rooted or not. If you are, flash over the stock rom. If your not, find the guide to root your phone and then when thats complete, flash over the stock rom.
You write it's a new phone only two weeks old. Did you buy it in a store, then go back and make them repair it on warrenty. Just in case it's a defective motherboard or so. If you bought it privatly, you probably have to do as PakAttack1994 says, check if it's rooted, and flash another ROM, and you schould be home clean

Running Android 2.3.3, baseband version I9020XXKB2, build number GRI54.
I would like to know, how to upgrade to ice cream sandwich Version 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 . The issue I am a facing is that I cannot find the right version for the above baseband.
Another question is tha how do i stop the download, in the system update screen, it keeps on repeatedly doing this and i cannot get this to stop ?
Please help, note that I have had the phone checked under warranty and they say it is ok.

Look in general stickies for advice on how to root the phone
Look in development for a new ROM
Hi all,
Okay as you have noticed I'm rather new here and still reading some of the posts on rooting and installing ROMs but basically what I'm trying to achieve here is to remove a Carrier logo from the phone (Galaxy W I8150T) (Vodafone) Phone is unlocked and I wanted to give it to me dear ole Ma and she is on a different carrier.
To be honest not really into rooting it I was just looking for an easy way to re install a stock gingerbread rom minus the stupid logo's.
As I'm in Australia would the ROM's here be ok ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654643
My phone says Ver 2.3.6 I8150TDULM1 .... if any devs want this rom let me know ...not sure how to copy it but am happy to give it a go and transfer it if required.
Basically just wanted everything to work for her like radio etc if she wanted to use it .... so maybe when I get a few more clues I can try things like rooting phones ( that just sounds wrong) anyway help a noob out please.
hey i have the T version as well id recommend getting "cyanogen mod 9" if you want to get rid of the Vodafone branding as i did. it will also be running ice cream sandwich. it is completely stable and has no carrier branding although is is a bit more complected. you could also get jelly bean but is unstable and so i wouldent recomend it for your mum to get cyanogen mod 9 go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874

The latest official update from Samsung/AT&T is Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean. It's also not available OTA (Over The Air) because of its size; you need to download Kies (basically Samsung's version of iTunes minus the store) and it can install the update when you plug in your phone via USB. If you want Jelly Bean now, it's going to be rooted, and it's going to be quite buggy. Expect many random freezes and reboots.
By the way, here is the correct forum for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493
I am using Samsung Note-GT7000..I had rooted my android phone when i was on 4.0.3 then i recived the official update from Samsung to update to Jelly Bean..after updating the phone my phone keeps hanging alot and the battery of the phone drains very fast..please help what cane be done.should i unroot my phone or downgrade to 4.0.3.:crying:

Maybe there are some apps or programs that are making ur phone lag....
Try some utility apps to speed up ur phone .....
If still not working pls pm me...
If satisfied pls press thnx...
I don't think you're supposed to do an official upgrade while you're rooted.

Hi I need help with my Samsung galaxy Q SGH-T589R. I want to update its Android version. I tried updating it from keis but it says that my device is not supported for updating via Keis. My android version is 2.2.2. I have no idea what a ICS is but I want to try it. But before that I need some info on it. Please help me with this I am a complete noob at this. My internal memory is also ****ed up. I dont even have many apps :/. I have about 30 mb free >.<. Also im using a SD card with 2 gb space.
Alright, Android 4.0.X is referred to as Ice Cream Sandwich also known as ICS, it's not a new android platform but it's not old either.
To able to run android 4.0.X your device needs to be able to run it. What comes down to this stage is the specs of your phone. If your phone doesn't not have any support for newer android versions such as ICS, then updating to it will be quite tricky or maybe even impossible.
If your device has developers and or modders that spare their time to make these aftermarket versions of the newer platforms. Then you're in luck, but beforehand you must have root access, a custom recovery installed and you need your bootloader unlocked to continue with the process of an aftermarket firmware update.
If the manufacturer of your device which in this case is Samsung, decides to release an OTA ( Over The Air ) update. Simply go to Settings>About>System Update. If there are any new updates it should appear there. And the rest can be handled from there.
I know very little about Samsung Kies, but if it says it does not support your device then automatically assuming you won't be able to install anything using it.
Hopefully I helped and answered your questions.
PS : Space may also be a problem as new platforms may be bigger than old platforms. ICS is defiantly larger than Froyo ( 2.2.x )

Is there ICS for your device? If so is it an official update by your manufacturer or is it an aftermarket one made by a user?

Don't think an upgrade from 2.2 to ics would work very well. Doubt you'll get an official ota update from Samsung.

Yeah sadly the Q was not popular and i dont think it even received a Gingerbread rom, your best bet is to find a deodexed rom, what it is is its still stock android 2.2.2 but it has removed all the bloatware and apps that samsung or t-mobile has put on it that you dont use and gives you more free space.
