Hi
so today i updated my vibrant to 2.2
my phone was rooted before and had oclf
and i read somewhere that i need to unlag fix and uninstall EXT2 Tools
however i did uninstall EXT2 but i could not do that for lag fix saying that i don't have lag fix and i can't even install it when i already did but anyway
i think that was because i rooted my phone before and did the lag fix and factory reseted it without removing lag fix
anyway this is where the question comes out
so i have got 2.2 froyo and when i open up it says that
my phone is unrooted but it is rooted my tethering works and stuff that i need rooted phone.
plus.. this is even more serious my flash player doesn;t work...
i thought it will work..
i tried to download app for flash 10.1 still doesn't work...
what should i do?
btw i did my update through kies mini
didn;t flash rom
oh and one more problem...
i just noticed that
i have battery reminder
and i just found out that when i turn my wifi it says 4h 43 86%
and when i don;t turn on wifi it says 18h 55 86%
isn't that way too much?
my phone has problem?
i am not sure if i had this problem when i had 2.1
just noticed it
and one last thing what is good voice search and voice text
i saw someone with super good one that they say it really fast and picks up everything
when mine .... doesn't really pick up when i even talk slowly

1. If you successfully updated through mini kies, then it does not matter if you were rooted etc before - the update should have taken you back to a TMO/Samsung approved config.
2. Tethering (and some other stuff) is enabled in 2.2 without being rooted - download titanium backup from the market and try running that - it will fail if you're not rooted.
3. Flash 10.1 is installed with 2.2 - what exactly are you trying to do that makes you think it isn't working.
4. Wifi does suck juice in the new implementation (on my phone anyway), I only tried it once to verify it's working so can't help with any extra config options.
5. Can't help. sorry.

My dear friend,
You obviously have no clue about the whole system, until you get used to operating system, i would recommend that you dont start flashing just yet. let's get you up to date on the whole thing.
Android is an Operating System it helps your hardware interact with the software, Freex10 and gingerbread are like windows XP and windows 7, the latest version of android is 2.3.2 a.k.a Gingerbread, Freex10 is version 2.2.1.
Considering you dont know anything about flashing, i am assuming that you are using the stock OS supplied either 1.6 (Donut) or if you have updated the OS, 2.1 (Eclair). You can verify by going to settings-> About Phone -> Android Version.
Gapps refers to google apps like maps, voice dialer, google search, market etc.
For the time being what i want you to do is tell me which android version you are using and also how exactly this problem started.
Regards
E
Click on the thanks button if my post was of any use to you
No...it turns off when I open Maps o Wisepilot and try to get position using the GPS....few seconds after the app start running ,it switch off and switch on again...
I have android 2.1 updated.... I have an app named Juicedefender and MYLookOut...I delete memory booster app and Auto killer. The maps app star working rigth wit the GPS for a while but few minutes later the phone switch off again....
Try updating apps of it still does not work try flashing the phone by going to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 download the flasher and the firmware from http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
Extract the flasher zip file, open the program X10FlashTool.exe
If the firmware is of the extension .ftf
copy the firmware to the firmwares folder found in the flasher folder
if the firmware is not in the .ftf format
Advanced -> Bundle creation -> select the folder containg the firmware -> enter details required ( Device, Branding, version) -> select all the files present in the folder list (on the left side) and transfer to the firmware content -> click ok
-> click on flash -> select the firmware -> when asked connect the phone in flasher mode and you are good to go.
If you require busybox or root or xrecovery it will be found in the advanced menu.
Now update Maps and try again,
Regards

I was making some test and the problems happen also when I opne GPSTest app. Yesterday I used the SonyEricson Companion Software to repaire the phone (I think is like "reflash the phone"). After that I install superuser, busibox and I rooted my phone. Finally activate the GPS and try to test it using GPSTest app but it works fine for a couple of minutes and after that the phone turned off by itself.... Don´t u think the problem could be the GPS Hardaware instead of software?......By the way , It seems like the problems showed up after I updated my phone fromo android 1.6 to 2.1-updated....
the link you wrote for getting flash and firmware is for xperia X10i but my phone is X10a is there any problem with that? O I need to look for X10a?

There is a possibility that it could be your hardware and since no other user is helping us out, i think its best you reflash using SEUS and DO NOT root the phone and go to a nearby service center and show it to them
Yea the firmware link i gave is for x10i, my bad i thought you had a x10i anyways it doesnt matter because i have heard of users who have installed x10i firmware on x10a anyways for the sake of safety of you mobile, in the flasher website, if you scroll down a bit you will find firmware for the x10a
Regards
E
Ok I reflash the way you told me...I selected the firmware for x10a ...everything was OK after I reflash the phone until I see that I do not have data conection anymore!!....I am in mexico and I was paying a data conection using EDge and 3G but after the reflash I can not havit both of them!!....now what_
Thank you so much...I fix the data conection problem...I need to restore my system settings backup. Now it seems to work properly incluiding the GPS....I am gonna test it the rest of the day to confirm is 100% ok....Thanks a lot
Always there to help a person in need bro. Take care and if everything is fine, i would recommed that you root the phone and try out all the features possible on the mobile, make it worth your money

Did you go back to 1.6 or 2.1? Just in case that it is a hardware problem, i would suggest that you take the phone to your local dealer and ask for a replacement device.
Better act while you still have warranty.
I will do that....after I reflash the phone , the problem comes out again...Afer a couple of minutes I activate the GPS and opened the Maps, the phone crash, I mean it switch off...
Im gonna ask warranty....regards
mine use to do it but it stoped after the third time
Hi all,
I've already posted on this issue but its still bugging me. I have the latest firmware, baseband and when I install the rom it works very good until the phone reboots after some time (this happens after fresh install is completed, not during installation), all apps like the market, gallery, phone, contact, all settings give errors and I get a pop up window for all of them and they all say force close. All other apps I’ve installed work fine with no errors. I reboot into xrecovery and do a wipe, clear cache and fix permissions and reboot but after a while it does it again so I keep going back to 2.1 which after playing around with 2.2.1 etc makes the x10 a better phone.
Is there anyone out there that can offer any kind of help ! PLEASE ! on this or is it just myself with this issue.
Thanks
You are not alone mate. 2.2 is always fantastic for me, at the start atleast. I end up getting pretty much the same as you, needs to be rebooted to become stable again.
The longer I leave 2.2 on my phone the more unstable it becomes.
I wander how others get there's to work. there gotta be away coz if it didn't work for everyone there would be more queries about it. I love my fone and i don't want to quit on it just yet.
If you are talking about using freex10, it requires a baseband .54, pls check on that revert back, i had used freex10 for about a week or two before moving to gingerbread, everything was working fine then for me.
Regards
E
I do have the latest baseband but it still bums out after about an hr or so. Even if i load a rom, don't restart and leave it overnight and when i awake i unlock the screen and i get the errors. i noticed when it tries to sync with mail i see the errors starting.
I mean gmail. could it be related to the gapps i install after installing the rom ?
Are you using gapps1901? I'm using those google apps with no problems at all....
I've tried different roms and they all end up the same, with errors. Can i use that gapps you mentioned with other roms ?
hey there,
Yesterday I've updated my UNBRANDED SGS2 (NON-ROOT/STOCK ROM) to ICS 4.0.3 over kies. Since then I have a problem with the swype keyboard.
Almost Everytime I enter a app (whatsapp, sms ...) or just the memo and want to write sth, swype switches between the NUMBLOCK & the normal keyboard of swype. For this time THE HOLE phone doesn't react when touching it.
After few seconds: Over the notification bar I can switch to samsung keyboard, then i'm back to homescreen!!
when I reEnter the app to write, its all gone and swype/samsung keaboards work propertly.
Is there somebody with the same problem? Or just can give me an advice ?
PS: ONLY for last resort I'll do a hardreset & reinstall ICS with the hole apps.....
I hope for answers & any kind of help !!
best regards from Berlin, Germany to the hole community
Hi Alex, I found this site and your post after searching the same problem. Unfortunately I can't offer any help but I thought I would let you know you are not alone with this. Fingers crossed someone on here can give us advice.
Hey,
i have the same problem with the stock-ics-rom on my S2. I have only one possibility for you til now. But therefore you need root. If your phone is rooted, then uninstall swype with Titanium Backup, AppMonster or something like this. After that load new swype on the homepage of "swype beta" (ask google^^) and install it.
Until now it works fine.
greetings,

@alex2787
What you could try is downloading the beta version of skype and install it on your SII.
Maybe that will work and I can tell you that the beta versions are better then the stock versions due regular updates and the possibility to download differtent languages to your swype.
Link: http://beta.swype.com/
dont want to wipe, than as post above said.....
root use root uninstaller / or root explorer remove swype.
now go register on beta.swype.com and install that.

yep...you're right! I Did overlook this message on the beta swype
How will this work?
Easy! Register with an email address accessible via your mobile device and receive a link to download Swype. If your phone came pre-installed with Swype DO NOT download this beta (it won't work).

probably similar problem here
Hello,
I have experienced a similar problem after updating to ICS (LPQ, then LPS; my i9100 is unbranded, no root, stock roms all the time).
What solved the problem, was to set the Background process limit in the Developer Options (4 processes). Since I have set this, the problem did not occur and it was a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday I set the limit back to standard just to make sure and the problem occurred again.
Anyway, I don't know if it works for you, but it is worth giving a try.
Same issue
Hi there,
I have the exact same issue. After upgrading to 4.0.3 my swype is buggin out.
- I've deleted swype with root rights
- Installed Swype demo via the website
- Cleared Dalvik cache
- Changed the background process limit in the Developer Options to 4 processes
Nothing helped?! Can somebody please help me with this?
hey there,
thx for the answers.
i didn't do anything till now (only to kill some times all of the background processes), but the problem isn't anymore!
@peze01:
hmm, all of the answers are logical to me. maybe you have to try (the last chance) and to do a hard/soft reset ?
I've not got the same problem as you, but swipe somehow today used 56% of my battery, and discharged it in 2 hours !

I have the same problem. I installed ICS and have done a factory reset/wipe cache and the problem persists. At one point it even came up with a swype error about the package not being for my resolution (this is a stock unrooted S2). Some times Swype seems to be in a tight loop even when not being used and the OS monitor app has it continuously using about 46% of my CPU. I usually spot this when the phone seems to get hot for no reason. Restarting the phone seems to be the only way to fix it otherwise it rapidly drains the battery.
Hi there!
I've got exactly the same problem with the Swype Keyboard and ICS (using MIUI v4).
Which Version of Swype are you running ?
same problem
Hi,
I have the same problem as alex2787 and it's driving me crazy! Can't find a fix anywhere, Have hard reset, cleared cache, the works, but problem persists and using slideIT, which is not doing it for me at all and the Greek dictionary is awful.
Swype version: 3.26.92.38235
Firmware: 4.0.3 Vodafone UK variant
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks,
Digital909
i've already solved the problem! but i really dont know how .... -.-
i swiched sometimes between the keyboards (swype/samsung) and restart the phone ...
since then, there is no looping anymore!

Have to be rooted, then make a backup using Titanium Backup Root and a uninstall.
On Swype website make account and follow instructions from mail
First time i did it I missed language download and only had Spanish and English (so read instructions)
Second time everything was fine both Dragon and update works.
Don't know whats going to happen next time I flash a firmware ... fear that Swype from firmware will break Swype Beta ... anybody have experience with this?
The problem seems to have gone away for the moment. Since the last time I did the swap between the Samsung IME and Swype keyboard to get around this it hasn't reoccurred, similar to alex2787. I don't think its fixed by any long shot.
My current setup is :-
Swype Version: 3.26.92.38235
Samsung Galaxy S2: GTI9100
Android Version: 4.0.3 (ICS)
Baseband Version: I9100XXLPR
Build Number: IML74K.XWLP3
Kernel Version: [email protected] #3
Stock O2 UK Firmware Non-Rooted
I have exact the same problem even since updating (with Kies) to ICS (4.0.3) on an unbranded/non-root S2:
Occasionally when using Swype it is switching between numlock and normal keyboard. Need to change to Samsung Keyboard and restart app to make it work.
Also, I've noticed that Swype sometimes uses an unusual amount of battery, draining the phone.
What I tried:
* Factory data reset -> Didn't help at all.
* Revert back to GB with Odin -> afterwards couldn't startup phone properly, so:
* Reinstalled ICS with Odin -> Swype didn't work at all (gave the message "Unfortunately Swype stopped working")
* Clicked on all options containing 'wipe' in the recovery/download menu -> Swype worked again, but original problem still occured
* Rooted the phone, so I could delete Swype (with Titanium Backup) and install Swype beta.
Still after all this the original problem hasn't been solved!
It's driving me crazy. I haven't had any reason before to use Odin or to root my phone or anything.
hello, i got a phone that i bougth used on amazon and i dont know why the phone doesnt work properly the gyroscope when the phone is on a surface the screen go to landscape and when you put the phone in vertical it takes like 4 seconds to get the screen in vertical too? somebody knows the problem?
i got gingerbread 2.3.6
All depends on what you've got running on it. Really isn't a general answer to this question other than try a different kernel or rom, I've never run stock 2.3.6 on my sgs2. I can say however with stock 2.3.4 when I was running it I never had this problem. Have u tried recalibrating?
yes already did and make factory reset but nothing my friend got my phone im going to wait till sunday and try to change the room and see if works but calibration doesn help neither
FIX problem
well after 5 hours to trying i do this steps to fix the problem:
1) root the phone
2) backup of the phone with the clockwormod recovery
2) upgrade AOKP ICS room
3)on that room there is an option to save the calibrate so you click on that .... then calibrate
4) restore your backup and thats it perfect gyroscope
