^^yes! like for device storage and usb storage it listed all the apps, pictures, vids, etc etc and how much space it takes. But I dont udnerstand why the sd card is greyed out, and why is there 3 different memory storage? I always thought it was just internal phone and sd.

The 3rd one is Internal Storage.. which is for your system/apps and such...
I believe..

My SD card doesnt even have a bar so I guess is fine..!

Finally updated my phone after 8 months
I decided to go with the resurrection remix ROM and it seems to run really well. Hopefully the battery life isn't too terrible.

Coming from Checkrom V6 I'm really missing JKay Deluxe. I liked being able to add program shortcuts to the dropdown menu and also modifying the power menu to include other functions like Reboot to Recovery, Enable WIFI hotspot, among other things. I see Jkay Deluxe is only for Samsung based ROMs. Anyone know a good substitute for JKay Deluxe? I'm really out of the loop here.

Guys, I've tried both Chainfire's apps and Helroz's unlock app, and they both do not work. Any suggestions?

Been having issues all day after upgrading to ICS from Gingerbread. It was great when I upgraded, then my phone froze and kept rebooting itself over and over. So I decided to do a clean delete and wipe everything out for a factory reset. I have Titanium backed up the files, but now seems like some programs just freeze my phone and it reboots itself....

Not sure why that's happening. I upgraded with official firmware using Kies.

Helroz's worked like a charm on my phone running Bell's OEM gingerbread rom. Only thing I did to the phone was root it so it can be unlocked.

Is your phone rooted?

Last time I checked, Jkay is too busy with I9300 stuff. 4.0.4 does not have Jkay support.

Your only other option is the 15-toggle mod. I think it only work on Samsung roms.

Is your phone rooted?
Yes, rooted. It may be because I am running the latest 4.0.4?

Sold my phone to a friend. This friend is not overly bright with technology... FML. Worst move ever.

Constant phone calls... *sigh*

I'm late to the Android party. Just got an S2 i9100m a few days ago. Upgrade to Bell ICS via Kies.

I'm learning to root it. I've done some reading. Could somebody please tell me the instruction of the OP on this link still safe to use since it's a few months old?

Are you in an area with poor reception? Sometimes it happens to me when I am in areas of poor reception and goes to emergency calls only.
