Samsung Galaxy S2

Just a question. When you dial *#*#4636#*#*, what does it say under preferred network type?

It says GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Use app backup and restore or Titanium backup to make a backup copy of drive and walk.
After installing a new rom, restore the app only. Restoring data too, might cause problems on another rom..... thing

You only have issues restoring data with a system app. I've restored user apps with their data countless times, with no issues.

I need to check again, but I am almost 100% sure drive and walk is under system apps ... other than that - you are absolutely correct

Indeed it is. Never gave me problems though - but then again, I seem to have lost my licences. I prefer Waze, Google Maps, or NaviFree anyway.

I am switching between 3.2.7.2, 3.2.7.1 and 3.3.2 (too often), and I can not figure out which one I like most.
People on XDA complained that 3.2.7.2 and 3.3.2 has wi-fi issues, but to me on any of the mentioned versions it's all the same to me.

No, I didn't have issues with 3.3.2
Yes you can downgrade back to 3.2.7.2

Sweet thanks, i have seen an improvement in wifi going from stock kernel to siyah 3.2.7.2

It says GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

Interesting. Does it not give you the option to set it to WCDMA preferred?

None- it actually is the best version I have used thus far. It has settled my MIUI battery life.

On a different note- anyone tried loading Boot2Gecko onto their phone? It looks promising:

I need to setup a Linux VM to build the UI, so hopefully when I have some free time I will get around to doing this

Thanks for the suggestion. That option is available, but I played with the options and no luck.

Then this is definitely a network problem. Have Vodacom not come back to you?

Won't this only be a system app if you are moving over to another Samsung based ROM? On AOSP, the Samsung apps come up as just that.

Not yet mate. I hope they will come back to me by wednesday

You should have no problems if you are staying with a Stock-based ROM.

I must just say that I'm loving my newly acquired S2

Looks awesome now with the MIUI launcher and lock screens.
