I would suggest trying (stop when one works...) 1) Boot into factory mode & wipe the cache 2) Boot into factory mode and do factory reset (wipes ALL data) 3) Use KIES to re-install the earlier ROM 4) If sound remains an issue get cheap PAYG to keep you going while you send it back...

...I could also get 20% off vodafone via work scheme....IF I bought direct from Vodafone and applied within 1 month of new contract...

You could try removing the lid to see whether there is anything obvious, perhaps one of the electrolytic capacitors has had it (may notice fluid leaked onto PCB), you could try replacing... just a thought...

I sometimes play MKV via my PS3 by streaming files from my PC (running PS3 media player), you can get surround sound, subtitles via this method.

You can download AVG (free) from Google Play

I notice a difference on my vodafone S3..... no longer getting audio on my bluetooth headset.... :(

Just bought 55HX853, VERY happy :)

My S2 is SIM free, I updated f/w using ODIN http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-install-ice-cream-sandwich-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50006766/

My S2 is SIM free, I did the update manually (via ODIN) http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-install-ice-cream-sandwich-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50006766/

same as before ... wifi on, emails set to push during 8am-5pm (else manual), not that many calls, some browsing, some music

I'm finding that my S2 battery now lasts 2 days (was barely making to end of a day before the ICS upgrade)

Just upgraded to ICS, be aware your icons on the home pages get removed (the programmes are still present in the Applications sections - you need to copy the icons/widgets over again...)

Thanks for that, in the post :)

Neither... I downloaded a program ("ODIN") and installed an update manually (you don't need to root the phone) Can't recall the link off hand, if you're interested I'll try to dig it out.
