You could do it yourself easily as samsung pushed that update a while ago for ics. Go into settings, about device, software update and click on update. Make sure your phone fully charged.

ended up doing this
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-unroo ... i9100-ics/

going back stock. I doubt this writes the EFS anyway.

Boy leave it stock eh, I had to send my S2 up to Samsung in the US for replacing the mainboard, my WiFi chip died and I suspect it is because of overheating (haven't gotten it back yet nor a quote).

Other users reporting the same issue after one year of use (which coincides with my failure) but I used to overclock so I figure it's that.

yup! most def. thanks! Loving the stockiness of this though. *flame suit on* samsung really did a good job in copying somethings in touchwiz and did somethings better than iOS. I hate how i can't get battery percent on this 4.0.3 rom. Apparently 4.0.4 has it but whatever. the heating issue i was having is gone thankfully. I swear I could have cooked an egg on it.
I still rather the form factor of the iPhone though, i can barely get one handed tasks done on it without stretching my wrists and the touch on this stock rom is a bit... weird.
Good luck with that replacement though! Hope they replace it.

BTW, why is it when the screen is in a low brightness level, it looks so dirty? especially white backgrounds? I read it's a fault of AMOLED screens? Also, white is actually, off white...

Belkin introduces WeMo light switch, control your household lighting from your Android device




Home automation is the stuff nerdy dreams are made of, and Belkin is today introducing a new device to bring a little part of that to life. The WeMo Light Switch, being displayed at CES in Las Vegas, is a replacement for your standard household light switches with WiFi connectivity. The cool part -- it'll be controllable from your Android device.

The WeMo connectivity means you can turn lights on or off from anywhere, schedule an on/off time, and doesn't require your Android device to be connected to the same WiFi network in order to work. So, you leave the office late, it's dark, and as you pull up on the driveway you can turn on the lights so you don't trip over the dog. OK, not the best example perhaps, but you get the idea.

Android connectivity has been a much asked for feature of WeMo's existing, iOS compatible only, range of home automation devices. With the arrival of the WeMo Light Switch and the app into the Google Play Store, connectivity with their other devices will be opened up to Android users. An open beta will begin in February for users of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and "other leading devices." The Light Switch will become available this Summer.

Source: Belkin


--
When they said "Other leading devices" I'm guessing the SII NoteI NoteII TabII Note10.1 and probably their recent HTC lineup.

That android reign tho!

EDIT: I'm predicting one of these light switches to cost around 50 dollars locally so S_2NR you better snatch up 14ride's deal quick so you can get yours when it becomes available this summer

Check the "instructables" website. A guy did a custom app and solenoid interface where his android could close the solenoid (using a Linux box and microcontroller) so that the solenoid would activate his garage door switch and open his garage.

The app had password protection, and only opened the door (using gps) when within a certain range of the house.
