    [SPH-D710] Build FI27 Source Code Published

    yes big difference. signal strength is way better. my gps locked in about a minute which is awesome considering it took 15 minutes with gingerbread and the best thing is they fixed the internet speed problem. with gingerbread i got 5-10Mbps downloads. I flashed about 8 different modems with ICS...

    What modem are you using with ICS and whats your 4G speeds?

    With gingerbread (EL29)and the stock modem (i forget which one it was) i was getting 10Mbps 4G speeds. I decided to give ICS a second chance and everything is working pretty smoothly so far. The last problem i'm having with it is my internet speeds. I have flashed half a dozen different modems...

    So, we are stuck with the ICS fail?

    i personally am not optomistic that they are going to give much more attention any time soon. iv'e been browsing the web about this for past couple weeks and the same problems were reported quite some time ago. the fact sprint cant even acknowledge the issue and is pushing out the same damaged...

    Anyone know how to alter the look of the security lock screen?

    i rooted my g2 back to gingerbread from ICS. for the few days i used ICS the one feature i really appreciated was that they did away with those huge, annoying dots on the security lock screen, the one you swype a pattern to unlock.

    Weak cell signal since ics

    mind if i ask how you did this or do you have a link by any chance? i really liked ICS but couldn't use it because of poor reception and internet. i briefly remember seeing something about flashing the modem but couldn't find anything usefull. did you use ODIN to do this?

    how do I permanently ignore the 4.0.4 ICS update?

    i have a rooted S2 and used FOTAkill. it occasionally still pops up but not very often. i will go several days and only see it a couple times. not sure why it still pops up but seems to happen only after reboots. good enough for me. i can stand it a few times here and there, before FOTAkill i...

    Weak cell signal since ics

    yes i had same issue with ICS. its definately a software issue because as soon as i rolled back to gingerbread it was fixed. i also had really poor internet connections on 3g and 4g. my upload speeds were faster than download speeds and i live in the heart of los angeles with really strong 4g...
