Hi
Well I recently got my sgs2 and love the phone the one and only rom i have flashed on this phone is the lightning rom and with the v1.3 upwards my phone now puts itself into driving mode not only that it thinks i have it plugged in on charge and shows the charging icon too. Just to add another issue i have it the phone will randomly think i have it connected via usb and show the usb logo with the connecting to kias.
Has anyone had this issue? or maybe aware of a fix i like the rom but im tempted to move to villain rom would appreciate some help/info
Thanks in advance
EDIT Also would like to add nothing has really been chaned or edited on this just rom flashed some bloatware frozen and normal apps from the market thats it
flash the 1.4 see if that helps
Sorry i said 1.3 updwards mate i tried 1.4 already doesnt matter went onto villain rom and all working great tbh glad i switched resources seem alot better too

Hi Guys,
I installed the new ICS ROM (4.0.3) ROM with KIES a few days ago. What I have noticed, that certain tasks like taking photos, browsing photos and internet make the phone unusually hot, more like overheating especially around the camera part. I noticed the same thing when the phone plugged into the computer and the KIES is running. I never noticed any of this with the 2.3.5 ROM before. Has anyone noticed something like this with the new ICS ROM? It very annoying, and only restarting the phone solves the problem. Simply closing the programs with the task manager not.
Thanks and have a good day!
You should keep an eye on the task manager when it happens, in my case it was a app that was crashed in the background, but kept running, maxed out the Cpu usage, got really hot and drained the battery quickly.
Get your battery out for a few secs for a reset, and check task manager when it occurs again.
Hey there,
Thanks for the reply. I noticed, that it happens, anytime when I start browsing photos.It gets very hot. Even after restarting the phone. I never had this issue with the 2.3.5 stock rom. I'm thinking to put it back. I can't really see the advantages of using ICS, when I have more problems with it
try reflashing
try some other modem
try cyanogenmod 9 beta
go back to GB if all fails
The thing is that Samsung f*cked up the ICS release.
I have also encountered my phone getting very hot and draining massive battery.
This may be a kernel problem.
Try another custom Rom.
i noticed that too when i upgraded to ICS
so i installed this ROM : Resurection Remix v1.0
the problem went away, and phone is alot smoother now
try it.
The same thing with me. I asked a lot of questions in a lot of forums, i even tried diferent custom roms (omega etc) but i still have the problem. If somebody have tried the Ressurection remix rom must tell us if the problem insists
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S2 on TMobile in the UK. Not rooted, just been upgraded to ICS with the official firmware through Kies.
Ever since then I've been randomly getting a black screen - i.e. phone doesn't respond to any of the buttons to turn the screen on. Only way to get the phone to work again is a battery pull. Haven't installed any apps from prior to ICS, and prior to ICS I didn't have this problem.
As well as getting a black unresponsive screen it seems to get really warm. Not the normal been playing a game warm, but bordering on really hot. When I do the battery pull and restart there's also been a big battery drain - have lost half the battery before and the phone warning is on screen saying it's about to run out of battery when it was 60% charged before.
I'm guessing no one's going to have a simple answer to this (although it would be great if anyone does, but I've searched and haven't found anything) - but any tips on trying to identify what the cause is? Could it be a bad app maybe?
I tried logcat but didn't really understand it (!) and I wasn't sure if it would record what happened before a battery pull anyway. What's a way of recording what's going on that will stay recorded after a battery pull?
Any tips to help get the bottom of this would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Andrew
First backup data and factory reset .
Still a problem reinstall the firmware.
Checkfus will let you download it and flash via Odin .
Or take it to a service centre is the other choice .

I am having exactly the same problem. This has started just after upgrading to ICS. (I have an unlocked S2 CSC:XEU). Never had this problem before. I tried hard reset but the problem is still there.
I have upgraded using Kies.
I have the same problem on unlocked S2 CSC:XEU. not rooted...
reset didn't work. full wipe - the same problem
ics problems
hi, i have the following problems after updating to official ICS,
wifi sometimes gets stuck between on/off
sometimes phone goes to sleep and does not respond
wake up is slower than in GB
after numerous hard resets and re-flashing ICS with odin these issues persist.
I recommend re-flashing the official GB version and wait till samsung sort their crap out.
all these issues are kernel related. the wifi issue is reported to be a faulty stock kernel and the black unresponsive screen also is a kernel issue I faced with some beta kernels.
my tip, before you hesitate to go back to GB, give one of the custom kernels a try. Siyah, Speedmod, ... just for the moment don't tweak anything and make sure you really flash an ICS kernel (!!). Just flash one of these kernels and give it a try, you don't even have to do it with odin and thus increase the counter, but you can use that variant. When you are in CWM, instead of flashing the SU zip file, flash the custom kernel zip which will root your phone, too.
Now give the custom kernel a try and see if your issues are gone.
If you don't like it, just flash the stock kernel with odin and uninstall SU and Busybox, and you are back to stock ICS.
I had the same problem. Kernel. Flash the latest siyah kernel and sleep of death will dissapear
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I'm getting the exact same issue running Siyah 3.3.2 and CM9. Also happened with stock ICS.
First few times it happened the phone was in my pocket and I felt it get warm. Only way to recover it was to hold power button in for about 10 seconds and it then reboots. I thought the screen was unlocking in my pocket and it was switching off due to overheating... but
Happened again today whilst I was using the phone. Screen went black and phone started getting hotter and hotter. I now think something is causing some kind of loop that causing the lockup / heat up and the phone is actually still on until I press and hold the power button.
I'm currently trying a "record" with CatLog but I can reproduce the problem easily apart from it happening 4 times in the 4 weeks I've had the phone.
(Its a I9100P if that makes any difference)
3g, wifi,... All work fine, after I did a full factory reset and flashed v2.2 as an update coming from 2.1 on my international version GS2.
The issue that popped up is, that, while the phone is off, the charging animation seems to be gone and replaced with a yellow text saying 'charging! ??/100' so I can't really see the progress anymore
But when it's turned on charging still works like normal, and it does charge since it's 100% after a night of charging in deep sleep.
For this issue reinstalling the ROM did not seem to help (Other than that 2.2 just runs awesome).
Any information on how to restore the animation would be really helpfull.
I think that is kernel related... Try flashing a different one and see how it goes..
Sent from my hybrid SII with the power of ParanoidAndroid and Fluxi kernel
Yes it's kernel related thing, me too had the same problem before. You may try some other kernels recommended with the rom
Thanks, now that you mention it, this is the first version with CM9 kernel instead of siyah.
Loving the battery life on CM9 though .

try siyah ver3.3.1 it also gives good batt life the way CM9 and also can be tweaked using extweak app from market
Flashed Siyah 3.3.1, and got a nice green animated battery filling up while I charge. Thanks!
Any extweaks settings recommended to get the battery/performance comparable to cm9?

Had the same problem
I had the same problem a few months ago, flashed a kernel that i hadn't really read up on.
I flashed siyah kernel and no problems since, haven't had any issues with siyah kernel as of yet either!
Siyah battery life with the default profile on seems comparable to CM9. Is it true Siyah will stop releasing for gs2 and will only focus on gs3?

had the same issue and i just flashed Siyah and problem fixed. But just today i dont know why or how when phone is off and instead of showing the little circles moving when charging off I have just like the reflectuion or shadow of the green battery. just weird the phone seems normal no issues just some drop calls but i just wana gp back as before
Maybe try flashing it again using the same procedure as with a rom (wipe cache, flash, wipe dalv...)?
Hi all,
Im not a noob around here I have been lurking for a few years since I had my HTC hero and have been flashing my S2 for about 5 months now, very impressed with the amount of development here ...
I understand most things about flashing etc but am still unclear and have found it hard to find answers for the following:
I have Resurrection Remix 2.2 + siyah 3.3.2 + dualbooted with omega v15 4.0.3
1. Am I better off changing CPU frequencies/governers/voltages with the built in "performance" on Ressurection Remix or using the Siyah eXTweaks app
2. If I apply some settings in the extweaks app, such as an undervolt/BLN... will these settings apply to my second rom? + also, If I change settings on main rom, then load second rom, then go back to main rom will the settings still be changed on the main rom or do they get wiped.
3. I have one of those stupid small mini bluetooth keyboards which are about the same size as the phone and are under £10 on ebay... I also have a bluetooth mouse.. The bluetooth mouse works fine and stays connected for as long as I want, however does anybody know why the connection to the keyboard constantly times out after a few minutes? Very frustrating as I bought it to use with MHL adapter and have trouble reconnecting after its lost connection... I bought it because it was cheap and I dont have a lot of money to spend on that kind of thing, but if anybody has any other cheap alternatives can you post link.
4. A lot of the time recently, my phone crashes when watching a vide with MX player or playing a game... it just hangs.. dont know why, ive had RR running stable for over a week now with no tweaks applied and its still happening...
5. i have 4 copies of every folder showing up on memory card not enough space to copy data to laptop and format... any advice?
6. Advice needed on whats the best undervolt settings for me,I see multiple threads for Siyah _ extweaks but every time I mess about with that I end up breaking my rom and changing it... but when it has worked the battery life is great!
Apreciate anyone who helps or has any advice to offer, I will give thanks to you all.

1 make sure that they both are on the same settings.
2 I'm pretty sure it will only affect the rom you're on. Not both. Might want to check the dual boot thread though
3 try to forget the device and reconnect it/reboot then try to reconnect it
4 did you do a full wipe when you installed it?
5 I'm pretty sure there is a fix in rr FAQ on the op
6 not every device can handle being oc / uv.. If you break the rom on the setting increase it by 25/50 until you get it stable
Hope I could help

Thanks for your help! will try these now
4. Yes i follow the Extended steps to install rom on RR thread FAQ
5. I've tried that, it works temporarily but keeps coming back and messing up... (that was the original problem, it was just music and images. now its all files and folders)
6. I see... thanks
Was kinda hoping for a little more advice maybe

well the only little more advice given may be never under volt or over clock ur beast (GS2) since it never likes the same, they r only done on some specfic issues so keep the default settings
also the duplicate file issues its no more with 2.2 if u fallowed the extended installation steps in the FAQ properly

thanks mate
Do you mean it never works the same? I see, it's never been stable for me... however the extra battery life vs. risk of having to reinstall rom is a hard choice.. maybe if keep even more regular backups it may help if things go wrong..
And I have reinstalled 2.2 properly following the extended which I always do. Still have 4 copies of every file folder, and it's showing up the same in windows as well now. But i dont think it's taking up 4x the space...
Is there an easy way to fix this or am I going to have to reformat memorycard? is that best done on the phone or on windows?

ver2.3 is going to be released today install the same with a full wipe and ur issues of duplicate file gets resolved
Ok here's the rundown: my phone has been working perfectly before 3 days ago when i flashed the most recent radios etc. and the most recent MeanROM ICS. Between 3 days ago and last night it would show a screen full of static randomly for long periods of time, the bootloader would not show, the recovery screen responded slow, and the normal screen responded slow but i could still type something or use an app but i could not see what i was doing; then switched back to MeanROM ICS 2.4 (yea, I know) which did nothing. Last night, however, it randomly starts working like a charm. Then this morning it will respond and isn't showing the static screen a lot, but i have to do a lot of unnecessary screen tapping for the screen to keep up.
My thought is that it may be the aggressive the single-core process killing app processes too much to save battery which might be depleting RAM and not switching back to dual core or my phone doesn't appreciate the weather lol.
So with all this being said, what should I do?
Try a different ROM and see if the issue still persist. SuperLTE works great for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800065 There are a bunch of great ROMS but maybe your phone doesn't run well with Mean Rom (great Rom btw). Good luck.
