Why I have this picture when i turn my SGS2 on?Just after lock screen.
THX
Something has become corrupt have you changed or installed anything lately?
Are you on Orange? It looks like the error that the new KE2 firmware gives when you put an Orange sim in the phone. Either flash KE1 to get rid of it or just hit OK and ignore it, most people who get it say it doesnt have any effect on the phone, but some say the battery life is worse. There is a rumor about a KE3 firmware coming soon to fix, but until then it may be worth flashing KE1 IMO.
This is all assuming you're on orange of course
you may have to restore to factory settings. It happened to me once and only that solved my problem.

You look to be on Orange with XWKE2 firmware
So what to do?? re flash with ke1?
That will cure it but your battery life will suck . If you force close it , it turns off to flight mode and then comes back .
It will only do it if you restart the phone , it force closes then resets itself back to normal.
You may need to long press on the power button and re enable data network mode
Usually cured by reflash firmware or just a kernel .
But i would try factory reset first .

If your on Orange UK Network then you can downgrade the firmware to KE1 that will stop it . You will have to wait for the next firmware release to see if it has fixed the Orange UK issue .
Be aware though that I have noticed battery problems with KE1 and I live with KE2 as it has better battery performance for me . It only force closes on phone start up so not a biggy really .
If your not on Orange UK , then hard reset the device ( BE AWARE THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DATA) and see if that works .

tried that didn't work. Hell I don't care though. I'm getting a replacement due to screen problem on mine and I bet that will come with KDD by default.
Actually it will be interesting since it will be a new batch from Samsung, CPW all around London have been waiting for it for two weeks. I'll report on which firmware Samsung decided to put on the newer batch.

Recently just got my GS2 and I love it (coming from iPhone 4 and use to have HTC Magic). But I encountered a problem with my phone the same day I got it which is that the vibration stops working after I updated the phone to the latest firmware provided by Samsung through Kies.
I've tried going into the test mode *#0*# and just select vibration but the screen just turn black and the phone won't vibrate. I am trying to find the official firmware for my phone but I can't seem to find it anywhere. My phone CSC is different from the one on the Official Firmware thread. I can't remember of the top of my head what it is but if it helps, mine seems to be an import set and the CSC starts with J.
I've tried doing a hard reset through the OS but it also didn't help. What I am trying to do now is trying to find some way to reflash the OS but Kies don't allow me to do that and I am not sure where to get the official firmware as I am afraid that if I flash it with other firmware that is of a different CSC, my warranty may not be honoured.
So just wondering if anybody here got any tips and helps to solve this problem or do I have to send it back to the shop?
One try Kies emergency firmware recovery .
Two a factory reset .
Official firmware for your phone is only on Kies Samsung stock Samsungs not phone providers .
Two choices one service centre Samsung
two is the unofficial route of flashing via Odin stock firmware . Samsung will not refuse warrant but seller may .CSC may not be for your area enter APN settings yourself .

I also noticed a lack of vibration today. Could not get it to work whatever i did, but I did not update it... In fact I didn't do anything except trying out my new Samsung car holder with it.
I suggest you use this thread for further analysis.
I debranded mine last night but couldnt follow the final step. Now I`ve plugged my SGSII into the pc Kies can`t tell me what firmware version I`m
using. Even worse, as I`m a new user I can`t post on that thread to ask for assistance! LOL
I wish i`d left it well alone now, all I wanted to do was debrand it so I could update to KE7. Sigh

Debrand mean remove bloatware and does not give you an update path .
You can try a factory reset and wipe all data see if Kies picks up update .
Or use stock rom KE7 via Odin or the current update KF1 .
KIES will update original firmware when its available but may not pick up stock firmware .

Just flash KE7 without doing any debranding stuff and hard reset after the device starts for the first time.
Cheers jje, I`m assuming if I want to use stock rom that means I need to root the phone? I`ve never dabbled in that side of things before and was rather nervous just about debranding.
I almost wish I could undo what I`ve done and just wait for Three to send out the update. I`m assuming thats not so easy?
Eureka, suddenly i noticed that my phone's vibration ability was back when walking to a shop with my headphones in. It seems like the headphone jack somehow influences things. Maybe a bad connection between these components?
Maybe you should try this out to confirm this?
(copied from this thread)
I am a little bit confused as my phone reboots by itself occassionally. I hade ROM Manager installed. I already unistalled it, kept the pro licence.
For example when surfing the internet, the phone rebooted for an unknown reason.
I uninstalled the licence key and watch no what happens.
Does anyone have an idea? Shoulkd I send it back to my operator asking for replacement or is it the ROM Manager. phone is not rooted, yet.
I had same issue. I ended up sending back the phone and also getting out of the contract with T-Mobile. New phone on O2 has been fine and not restarted once, old one was doing it approx once a day.
It may have been firmware related but on the thread i started other people with new firmwares were having the same issue.
Remove Rom Manager factory reset phone .

Thanks, will call them now! Good or bad to hear that others have the same problem.
This is what they say:
Software error
I send it back in exchange for a new one. Hope this fixes it.

How do I do this. use a Custom ROM?
Hi
so I bougth this phone from a dude from college it was very cheap he says to me that the signal of the phone does not work.. and I believing that was only a locked phone I bouth the phone..
so here are the symptoms:
- Phone does not got signal but outside on some parts.. but only reach the second bar if you attempt to make a call the phone goes black and it needs to reboot.
- phone its not imei blocked
- phone its not sim blocked
the phone got some drop damages on the left corner of the screen but touch and everything else works..
phone info:
CM9 4.04
i9100uhkg4
if there is more information that I can provide please let me know
My advice. Get your money back. Yes. I'm serious.
Edit - Or...Go back to stock firmware & see if you have the same problems. If you do, definitely get your money back.
I had a smilliar prob here is what to do
Wipe cache and dalvik and factory reset then Flash stock 2.3.5 gingr bread
After u do that flash ice cream sandwich 4.0.3 lpQ stock
And ur prob will be fixed inshallah
If i helped please press thanks
Very cheap ??? cheap enough to keep as not a phone ???.
My initial guess is its the firmware as said flash stock .
Once flashed check phone has correct IMEI matching under the battery .

Does it still has warranty? Let samsung guys do tough job. Probably it is damaged from falling.

As stated above, youve been advised what to do, there is no magic cure.
You must flash it back to un-rooted stock, gb, then ics.
if the phone still doesnt work then you can give samsung a go, check the binary count is at zero, if not reset that to before you turn to samsung, i suspect tho that because the screen is damaged they wont repair it as its probably the owners negligence that its damaged, or if they do, theyll probably charge.
Do you have any phone insurance you could claim on?
either way you must go back to stock to at least see if it resolves it, and dont forget to check the imei.
thanks for all the replies
i'll try to make a video with the phone to show you whats the problem!
I just find out D:
the imei of the back of phone is diferent that the software one..
that could be the problem?
i need to recover my imei?
please respond!
Hi all, I figured this was the best place to ask this question as you lot seem to know alot
On friday evening my UK GS3 was updated to 19300XXBLFB via kies since then 90% of the time i make a phone call i get a com.android.phone stopped working message, if i press ok the call hangs up if i dont then i can still talk.
I cant recieve any calls as my phone just freezes, I have tried a factory reset and even tried a firmware and initilisation thing through kies but the problem is still happening.
I dont know if i could *flash* my phone and if i could would it solve the problem and or affect my warranty?
Cheers:crying:

Backup data and factory reset first .
You can if not fixed try flashing the firmware for your phone or a stock Samsung rom from the stock rom threads ,
Ignore root and custom rom fix .

do a factory reset. see if that fixes it. if not reflash. if none of the above works, try another firmware. if still fail, exchange your phone.

For you, a simple fix would be to back up all your settings, information, etc through kies. And then factory reset your phone in the settings and have it delete "everything."
Then sync all your apps, settings, contacts, etc through kies. Give this a try.
Later on if you feel more comfortable with hacking and flashing after doing tons of research, and I recommend doing a lot of research by reading all the stickie topics here. Then go right ahead. It does void your warranty but you can undue the hacks.
Thanks guys, I've just found that there is a repair center about a hour away so will be popping in there as soon as I can and I will call Samsung tomorrow and see what they advise
Don't use kies, its rubbish, broke my sgs1, stick to odin, flash latest stock for your area after full wipe, will be fine

If you've backed up your contacts and used Facebook contact sync app then simply don't restore your contacts after a factory reset. Worked for me

Hi,
I have been having loads of issues lately with my GS3, it works for about 3 or 4 minutes then crashes and restarts. or shuts down completely. if i leave it to charge then i don't have any guarantee that when i wake up in a morning that it will even be switched on!
It's all a bit random and some days i can barley use the phone, it will restart and crash for literally hours on end, even when i remove the battery for 30mins and put it back in, it continues.
I have been reding up and i suspect i have this sudden death thingi thats affecting phones, i checked using the little app and i do have the version that is affected.
so yesterday i installed cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-i9300 but i'm still having the same issues as before. is there anything i have missed?
Many thanks
