[Q] OS problems on my SGS2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I got an SGS2 a couple of weeks ago, and it has just started giving problems...
I have done no Kernel modifications / CustomROM installation...
1> Gallery takes time to load and is jerky after it loads
2> Angry Birds stops randomly and goes into a boot loop [Rovio Screen -> Angry Birds splash image -> Rovio Screen]
3> Lag on pressing power button to turn on the screen... about half a second or so [this has always been happening]
4> On disconnecting a call sometimes it goes back to dialler, sometimes it goes back to the Lock Screen. [even if i opened the Dialler to make the call]
5> Some Applications installed from the Market don't show up in my app drawer, but i can start them up from the "Downloaded Apps" section in the Market.[This has happened with 5 - 6 applications.]
6> Sometimes even after getting a "Installation Successful" message the app doesn't show up in the Market or the App drawer. [This has happened with 4 - 5 applications.]
7> Sometimes after uninstalling an Application, it still shows up in my App Drawer, but says unable to start application when i click on it.
I presume [hoping] these are just bugs in the OS rather than Hardware problems...
I have 3 launchers: TouchWiz [I Never use this], AWDLauncherEX [Used to use this], LauncherPro Free [Testing this out]
I play Gun Bros on my phone quite often... i have no Issues with it.
I installed TheftAware on my system and enabled it. The trial period ran out [Thought it was free ] so i uninstalled it.
Any ideas guys?
Since the above mentioned glitches are fairly minor, i'm waiting for a good CustomROM based on KE8 to be released before i factory reset my Phone.

No
Try factory reset first followed by a return under warranty is what i would do.
KE8 is now old KF1 KF4 .

Problem with open optimus ROM

OK, so I successfully installed the ROM. It works fine and all until I actually use openscript on the terminal. For example, I wanted to change CPU frequency. I changed it, quit the terminal, and checked the frequency in system information. It was successful. But After about a minute my screen suddenly locked and here is the current situation. The locking screen works fine (I had the pattern lock), I can even open emergency calls. But when I unlock it, the only thing I see is the notification bar (which works btw, clock, wifi , all the icons are there, I can slide it down and up and so on). Everything else is just black. The buttons work - I can quit the notification tab buy clicking back or home or something like that. But I dont see my home screen, menu, buttons - nothing. I can lock it again, and it works fine again in the lock screen but afterwards same black screen again. Reboot does not work.
So I reinstalled the rom. Immediately after installing changed the frequency and waited for a bit. Everything was fine. I installed all the crap I usually have and kept using the phone. But the next day, I got annoyed by the music player and decided to change it again via the openscript. Same thing happened. And this is where I am stuck right now (actually this is already the third time I have this problem in 3 days and it's my third reinstall of the rom, but the first one also happened after using openscript to change frequency.)
So is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the rom again, cause I've customized the **** out of it and I don't wanna do it again. If no, how can I prevent this in the future?
P.S. If this helps, when rebooting, I hear the sound before the android splash screen which is sometimes skipped and sometimes shown for an unusually short time.
P.P.S. Also, I have the apps2sd flashed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Got same problem
Hi,
Even I got same problem when I tried to change boot animation. Just blank screen.
But i realised it is due to, launcher app is not initiated. So tried a trick which worked indeed
Trick is when u are in a blank screen, click "HOME" button which will pop u up the list of launchers u have. Click One of them though they r not visible
Voilaa!!! Your screen is back

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 (official ICS) freezes and somewhat reboots. Why?

This odd thing happened yesterday... I was using the latest ADW Launcher, I was pressing on my screen, suddenly one folder from another screen moved to the screen where my finger was on... The phone vibrated. Then I noticed that I can't drag the folder back to the previous screen, but after a while, I managed to drag it back to where its place was. After that, the phone started to be weird... It froze during start ups, after restarts and shut downs...
1. The live wallpaper that I set changes whenever I restart or turn off my smartphone. (Or is this just a common trait of the official ICS?)
2. I stated on the title that my phone freezes and somewhat reboots... What actually happens is, after the phone freezes for a few seconds (on start up), everything reloads - live wallpaper and widgets (they reload again even after they have been loaded on start up).
3. Suddenly, it seems like it heats up pretty quick.

Try to flash another ROM with ODIN. Found on N7000 forum here on XDA.

[Q] Screen turned off

Hi there,
Installed Omega v15 - XXDLH6 on my GT-I9300. After a while when I'm using the phone the screen turns black in facebook app when I click on a picture. when I go from potrait to landscape it shows the transition and disappears again, Press back and I return to the timeline with working screen again. This all starts after the first time the phone turns the screen from time out.
Tried cache clearing, reinstalling app, killing app end clearing RAM. The only thing working is rebooting and then it starts again after a while.
Suggestions anyone?
Suggestion is dont use beta test firmware as its always flakey .
Second suggestion is to search your problem see if other users have found a fix ,

"Loading" issue ?

Hi,
I've been using Themer for few weeks now and i really love it, althought i think some options are really missing.
But i'm really thinking about unistalling it coz on my Nexus 5 it's really slow
Most of time i unlock the phone, during few seconds (3 - 4 secs), i have a blank screen and a "loading" message, and the theme appears.
And it sometimes, i don't know why, i have freezes and it takes up to 4/5 secs after pressing an icon to laucnh an app.
This is pretty annoying.
At every Themer update, i hope this problem is solved, i used the app on 2 or 3 rom, but i still got the problem.
Any idea to help me ?
try to completely remove themer from your device,ie uninstall then delete the mycolorscreen folder (remember to back up first) reboot the device and reinstall themer,then copy back over the mycolorscreen folder,this should solve the problem hopefully
