Anyone got an idea as to why?
i tried to reboot airplane mode off on....everything...( that i know of at lest)
Thank you very much!

I don't know if it is me, but I have a hard time understanding what you're asking. Are you rooted and what roms/themes are you using? What did you try doing before you started having this problem?
It looks like you have data in that screenshot. I had a problem with not getting any signal, but that was my fault. I manually edited the apns so I could tether and crowned them to root oops.
Edit: Grammar.
I am not sure what you are asking but I can tell you why your screen shot looks green.
I believe you are using ScreenShotIt or similar, if so check the "Invert color box"
Alright, Yeah I am using one of thous programs!
The issue is that as you can see, the h+ icon shows up, but thats all I manage to get, no data is transfered, it only shows the icon..
I cant figure out why
I am rooted running NO MODS
You have data turned on, right?
Settings > Data Manger > Data Delivery
I have never seen or heard of anyone with this problem. If it were my phone, I would be betting on either a hardware problem or a network problem with your carrier. Can you make phone calls and use wifi still?
Yes i can still make calls and use wifi, and yes data is enabled, like I used it for a full day and then it just...did this..

Weird, it is beginning to sound like a hardware problem. One last thing, I believe Pelephone is in Israel, any chance there is either no data provisioned on your SIM or it got turned off by your provider; I would give them a call first.
Good luck.
I dont see how it can be a hardware problem it used to work fine, and then it just stops, it didnt get droped or anything..
I got a plan with pelephone for 2 GB a month, that started a few days ago..
No one else got an idea?
If i got into *#*#463#*#* It shows i got a HSDPA connection
Like I said call Pelephone, it could be a provisioning issue at their end.
its saturday so they are not working today..i will call them tomorrow..even though i tested it on another device and it worked...
I still dont see how it could be a hardware problem if it worked fine before..
AND if it is...where can i send it to be fixed? ( money or no money)
I don't know the Pelephone rules but if you got it from them, they should cover warranty replacements. If you got it from a third party that doesn't do warranty, you still have one year warranty with Moto and will need to contact them.
Does rooting void that 3rd party warranty ?

In the US and I would guess generally elsewhere as well.
So i am still open to any suggestions...cause i dont understand how can it just randomly fail after a full day of working without it getting dropped hit or anything....
Seems weird. Did you turn it off and pull the battery?

I bought my Galaxy S2 week ago on United States, but it's imported I don't know where.
I got it today, and when I tried setup it the touchscreen problem started.
I don't touch on screen but it "auto" click on middle left of screen, so, it's impossible use.
I tried restore to factory and no lucky to fix it.
When i put the S2 on charge ou USB cable connected on computer, the touchscreen "auto" click stop, but if i remove the cable connected, it return.
Anyone know why this? I can't return to EUA to change and need know if is software issue ou hardware.
Can I call to samsung on Brazil and ask about it to change or fix the problem? I need pay?
It's a new phone, I need fix this with Samsung or w/e...
im sorry to say, but it seems hardware problem. u want to take it samsung repair centre.
It's really weird... I tried update the firmware but still the same problem...
Anyone think they need change the smartphone or it's simple to fix on authorized of samsung?

Before you turn it in; dial *#0*#
Then run the 'touch-test'. So you can diagnose whether it's the screen itself!
If problem persists; still return to Samsung!

Same Problem
hello, I'm facing the same problem, i bought my s2 a month ago with 1 year warranty, i faced strange issue, i was using the phone as a WiFi hotspot, then left it on the table and went to sleep, i wake up and the screen isn't responding, then i noticed a crack in the upper right of the screen, i know warranties exclude broken screens and damages caused by improper usage, although that i didn't cause the crack of the screen(no one would believe that) i went online and bought a replacement, it arrived 2 weeks later, i went online and checked on how to replace it, i did all the procedures and replaced the screen and everything went well and i got the phone functional again, but the screen went crazy with auto touches in the middle of the screen i tried everything possible by software and hardware, anyways i realized it has nothing to do with software, then by hardware i checked everything and all was right, any possible solution other than Samsung repair center?
did you solve it ? and how ?
because i think i have the same problem
i formatted everything like it was a new phone, same thing.
see the screenshots:
btw i enabled "show pointer" in developer options to see the touches,
as you see, all the touches is in the same exact column:

I cannot find an option to turn GPS on.
I must be doing something wrong.
There is no way they would have removed the ability through software.

Was just coming to post this same thing. I went to test to see if it got better since some people lost it due to OTA and it was like No GPS. I don't thinkk it is usable anymore...
I have been putting off the update just to read reports of stuff like this. Wow, this is a bit of a shock to me. I use that switch in the quick setting all the time. They removed it?
And they removed the gps.config file. How ****ed up. Now I will be sure to save mine to put it back.
And seriously, some of you think they really removed it? Did you try GPS Test? This would be a major screw job by them if they try to retro delete out the function despite the chip still being there.

Not really... if they did in fact give GPS a lobotomy, that is something radically different to remove a means of turning it on and the gps.confg file.

You still have yours??? Are they sending out another bad QC batch for early adopters? This time in software form!
You can still turn it on "Location services->GPS Satellites" and check the box, this is what the quick button on the menu did anyway.
My GPS signal is actually very much improved after the update. I went from no satellites found outside to 10 or more in the lower part of my house and a fix with 30 seconds. It is still far from perfect and I have not tried it outside yet.
Mine also works

If your rooted & reading this, or anyone here is now rooted again under ICS already, look into /etc/ and report what the gps.config file shows. I am curious to see what they changed in that file.
I wouldn't get too excited. Mine hasn't improved any.
I know the wifi nag can be annoying because of its uselessness and persistence. It seems minor to me considering what wonderful potential this phone has- when I root and rom and all that. But if anyone knows a way to turn is off for stock....
Not at the moment. The trick that worked on the SG3 doesn't work for us.

The wifi icon in the notifications. When wifi is turned off the notification stays on always, to let you know- i guess , that wifi is an option for you to use. Like I didn't already know that the phone has wifi and I can use it when I wish. That wifi icon is basically a permanent short cut to wifi settings. I know seems strange, but Im fine to live with it for a bit. It goes away when you turn on wifi.
that was not nice to plaster that there

That's the thing, I never use WiFi. It's about the only thing that stops me from saying the Dinc 4G is perfect out of the box...in my experience so far. It just clutters up a person's notification panel for absolutely no good reason. I hope VZ themselves take it off, but maybe I'm too optimistic Yea, it's a little thing, but it's an odd move that almost seems like a mistake. I mean, what's the difference with a WiFi widget? I use the BlueTooth widget and Hotspot and Brightness widgets, why not put all those up in there too? We should have the option to disenable it, especially if you own the phone outright...and I'm just speaking on a stock level. But I'm also hopeful that some bright person will find a way and salvage that space back from our panel.
it's something I'm personally working on,
I'm quite certain Nitsuj17 is as well
it's quite annoying and every trick known for sense 4 isn't working.
hopefully with time.
I also think HTC messed up BIG time ridding our quick settings.
but those I'm already using and you guys will be too, soon.

Yeah some of the other newer phones are coming with that as well. Think it's the "new thing" for big red.
Right, in the Galaxy SIII forums they hypothesize that this constant notification is an effort to have users data be on WiFi (and off their 4G network) as much as possible. I've tried playing with SQLite Editor and "wifi_networks_available_notification_on" in the settings storage as posts like this describe, but find the database is locked, and any attempts to change that have bricked my Incredible 4G. So I hope someone else figures this out!

Bricked, as in the phone won't turn on or get past the boot screen. The system files are quite fragile, while I managed to get this setting changed, it wouldn't reboot so that I could see if it worked. But its not my first time at the rodeo, and I had TWRP recovery to get me out of that state, and into a new ROM, which is the only way I think this little nuisance gets removed. Nitsuj17's ROM, for example, has this feature on their To-Do list, but it probably isn't their top priority.

So you weren't bricked then. You can't recover a brick which is why it is called that.
As for the nag, everyone wants to get rid of it so it is being looked in to.

You didn't say nothing about your software - is it stock or are you running a custom ROM? Is it the default camera or 3rd party app? How and when did this started happening? Did the phone suffer any water damage? Was the phone repaired recently?
I suggest that you return the phone to stock and see if the pink dot appears again. If it does, your phone has a hardware issue and you should take it to a Samsung service center (if it's still under warranty). Or a phone repair shop to replace the camera module. Best of luck.
It has nothing to do with the app
its the camera itself
you can't change that :crying:

From what you've described here, it looks like a faulty camera sensor. If you google "pink spot on pictures" you'll see that it happens with many devices, not just SGS2. The solution is to replace the camera by warranty repair or at a cellphone repair shop.
Just curious - are you using the phone's camera for professional photography?

yeah you're right but it isn't a big problem, i don't see the pink spot always ;D :highfive:
I posted a few times over the past couple of months complaining of problems with animated gifs and call quality but now another problem as surfaced.
First of all, animated gifs are STILL broken unless I use Textra. The work around is nice but still not a solution.
Second, call quality STILL sucks. I had hoped a replacement would fix the problem (faulty parts) to no avail. I've tried unselecting "Advanced Calling" as well as "Voice Enhancement" with no success, either. Callers are still complaining that I sound a mile away and sometimes sound garbled.
Third, over the past couple of days I've been getting an "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" error repeatedly. I've tried rebooting with no luck. I googled a solution and everyone says to uninstall Google Play Store's updates - also with no luck.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY PHONE? I swear it's possessed. Is this an LG problem or Verizon? The people at the Verizon store have no idea what's going on and I got no where when I called Verizon, too.
I'm beyond frustrated. Someone please help!
I have the same problem with voice quality. Same exact thing you speak of; mile away from the phone and garbled. I also got a warranty replacement and same problem. I have even done a factory reset, did not install any apps and still have the same issues. It seems to be interment with no known location that I make or receive a call to be the problem. I am just waiting to maybe get an early edge upgrade and jump ship. I use my phone more for talking than texting in a given day. I had the same problem with call quality on the G2, this will be my last LG phone.
I've tried a factory reset, too. I wonder if I ***** enough if they'll let me get a different phone.

AH! Thank you! Man I feel so stupid, but really I'm tired. I couldn't even remember what "mike" was an abbreviation of.
XDA must've released their 8-a-day limit on Thanks through the web browser!

I was totally serious, worked 13 hours yesterday and have had two days of screwed up sleep. Felt great earlier after my boss suggested I sleep in and work from home today, woke up at 11, felt great for four hours and then it started hitting me again. Why am I still on my tablet!? Goodnight! ☺

Believe I found a fix after a search. Go into "google now" and click "settings" click on "hot word detection" and make sure "from any screen" is off. I have not had an issue for two days now!

Update:
I got the lollipop update this past weekend and over-all my phone is running much smoother. I'm no longer having sound issues while on the phone, nor am I getting google play service errors anymore.
However, I am STILL unable to receive animated gifs. WTF!!!
I'm still here and still having gif issues and call issues if anyone has a suggestion.
I've tried disabling "OK Google" from any screen but that hasn't helped. Friends are still complaining about my call quality to the point where they're now harassing me for not getting an iPhone!
I'm still receiving broken gifs in anything other than Textra.
???????
I gave up on LG a while ago due to the call quality problems I was having. Same complaints as others, people say I sounded under water, far away etc. The net is full of complaints. See the archives. My company gave me an iPhone all unlimited so I'm using that. It works fine but I do prefer Android devices. I know one thing, I will NEVER purchase another LG phone again. And I will never purchase any phone through a 3rd party like Best Buy because it just adds another layer of complication when it comes time to get things fixed.
