Hey!
Update to latest ...XXKPH(2.3.4) and you get FIXED the problem. If you not belive, read THIS
And how to flash your ACE read THIS
CHEERS!
KPH also has SOD problem. Only solution is to turn off WIFI, or to use software like juicedefender to tutn off wifi when screen off.

Hey!
I dont hase the SOD even in STOCK FROYO. Now I have Code.Rom and WIFI is mostly on(even in screen OFF) and I havnt STILL NO SOD.
CHEERS!
KPH decreased the frequency of SOD but did not solve the problem. It happens only rarely to me now and is not a huge inconvenience. I have faith this will be worked out eventually...
I used KPH couple of weeks withouth any problems. I went on vacation in Turkey and started to expirience SODs few times per day. As I said, only WIFI of or third parity app can solve problem until now.
Thanks for your replys

i have the sod problem too. i get it in every standby. nothing helps. it is in every firmware so i think its a hardware issue. i bring it to the repair shop and hope that the problem fixed.
sorry for my bad english.
Hi
I had this problem to, but only on Froyo. Since i flashed to Gingerbread 2.3.4 kph, rooted and installed setcpu my problem was gone. Don' t no what the exact solution is, but i am happy this way.
Did you changed your advanced wifi setting too wifi turnoff when screen is out?
Good luck.

I did not have a single SoD incident in 3 weeks running with stock XXKPH rooted only.
For some reason though after converting to ext4 (no other real changes) I've gotten a few. Don't know coincidence or not.

Samsung India , seemingly so, does not want to believe me, or that this issue even exists!
I've never gotten sod, not in any roms.
Hey!
Like I sayed in THIS thread, SOD often cased by WIFI.
CHEERS!
i ve never had sod :-/
yeah its true..
it was caused by wifi..wether u are on wifi or u are sharing wifi through wifi tethering and then ur phone moves to unlock screen(screen time out which is a dark screen) then u try to used it again(like unlocking it again) concluding to SOD(in which fone restarts)..
if you want no SOD while doing some wifi related things..
put ur display setting>screen time out>>set it to 30mins..
so that ur phone will be always open..
what i mean is to prevent ur fone to unlock(screen time out) then phone will be no longer experience the SOD..
that was my experience..
but unfortunately..
the battery would drain faster..because ur phone is always opened..
i wonder why.. but i NEVER experienced SOD since i bought my ace.
I experienced this using Bluetooth transfer, went to sleep, and I had to remove the battery before I could turn it on.

Haven't had a single SoD event so far on XXKPH going on 24 hours with wifi left switched on the entire time. On froyo I would have had at least a handful.
Keeping my fingers crossed...
Until now, i've never heard that some one has experienced any SOD on KPH.
there a lot people get SOD on 2.3.4 kph. including my self. just got SOD when i reply this *sigh*
I had some with my S5830B, an American model. I also had screen flashing.

I have had wifi on for almost a week and no SOD, its been 3weeks since i flashed and i am quite pleased with it

I had no SoD's since i've switched to Gingerbread, really strange .
I also have no SoD since XXKPH
I think I am also in the lucky list.
Have flashed KPH 5-6 times without even a single SoD.
Thats because you guys have the european model or the global model. The models that are having issues are the american S5830L and B.
There's no american fw out yet.

Got at least 4-5 times SoD when I was trying to connect to a access point at a café. That was was after 20ish hour after flashing it.
never had SOD...ive been using KPH for about a month now...
i have been using wifi,msg,games...
Just flashed CODEROM V2X-2B. Every time I turn on the wifi I get a Sod.
A lot has been said about SoD on the other topic.
Long story short:
SoD has to do with the wifi. If you don't let your wifi turned on all the time, you won't get it. It accours mainly when the phone is in sleep mode and you left a wifi covered area, or something like that.
Until now, two main ways of not having SoD (or trying to):
1 - Don't let wifi on when locking the phone. You won't have any SoDs.
2 - If you want to let the wifi on to sync and stuff, do this:
2.1 - Download Y5 Battery Saver from Market, this will turn off your wireless everytime you get out of range of a known access point.
2.2 - Download Load Monitor from Market, open it up and select preferences, under preferences, check the following boxes:
*Add notification
*Only notify high load
*Auto start
*Wake lock
*Only screen on
Thanks to drewmayte on this post.
The second tip (Y5 + Load Monitor) won't eliminate the SoDs completely, but it will reduce them drastically.
It's been proved that SoD isn't gone in 2.3.4. So, I don't think this topic should continue. There's this other topic with more information if you guys want to talk about the SoD and wifi issue.
I had my Galaxy Ace and flashed the firmware 2.3.4 update from www.samfirmware.com as I was recommended, thinks have being working good so far apart from a weird issue, the phone randomly (as in can't find the cause yet) goes to deep sleep and never wakes up so I have to restart it (long press power button or pull battery), my only guess is the light sensor because it occurs mainly when on my pocket I never occurs when Im playing music or charging the devices witch makes me think something is killing the system . have anyone experienced this? any workarounds or suggestions? or should I try an specific 2.3.3 rom instead?
thanks
Is the bug We call SOD its a WiFi sleep bug, don't leave WiFi on

Hey, are you latinoamerican? If so, then you could install the latinoamerican modem (from kp7 firmware). Since i'm using it, I've never had sod again (i've been using it for around 4 months or more, and no sod at all, with any stock rom... kph, kpo, kpn, they all are fine with the modem).
Just lemme know. Cya

Hey XDA
I've a problem with my SGSII.
I've tried a lot different roms like CM7, CheckRom, Oxygen, miui to find the perfect rom to fix my battery usage(my phone usally last for MAX 1 day, even on low usage. (Is this normal??, my friend get like 5 days with his SGSII)
Anyway, on pretty much all of the ROMs above I've occurred a problem with my internet connection - When my phone is idle for a while I looser internet connection and then I have to restart my phone to fix it.
Anyone with similar problem?
Is my phone defect?
Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
This is my first thread on XDA, I hope I did it correctly (I've checked out suggested threads btw)
the problem with the internet connection is because of the signal is not resetting itself. You can use signalreset (market) app as a solution otherwise flash a stock firmware ROM from sammobile and see whether the problem is solved!
My Wi Fi stops working the same way too. All I do is that I reconnect WiFi from the notification bar.

Thank you for such a great and fast answer!
I will check out Signalreset asap, however if it just en/disable flightmode I am not sure if it helps. Because when it happened I always try en/disable flightmode, without luck - I have to restart to make it work :-/
Soo... it's a generel failure in some deeper laying hard- or software, that's not dependent of the generel software-version.
I'm starting to hate my phone, as it is loosing connection again and again, but only after updating to KI8_NEE. There has not been ANY problems with KI3_NEE, which worked perfectly and rocksolid - and solved the same problem from the previous versions... KI8 may be smoother, but i prefer stability over this generel failure (there's a lot of generel faults, not just lost data-connection).
If that the case, i'm going to smash this phone, or put KI3 back on it... i have been so happy with it, but after upgrading to KI8 - i'm starting to develop a hate-relationship with it...
My old HTC might be slow - but it is dead-on stable...
After trying the signalreset it still doenst work properly.
Any suggestions?

What baseband are you on?
I'm on XWKI1 on AT&T in south Florida and my connection is rock solid now.
That was not the case when I first got the phone with the factory ROM and baseband.

Yah 5 days.
He doesnt use the extended battery, just the standard. He's on CM7 and Cm7's kernel.

No I dont, I've tried Juice Defender but it didnt help my battery life so I uninstalled it..
I've tried a few days with the stock unrooted and the problem didnt occur, however the internet was still extremely slow, even when I had full signal.
Is there an application to boost signal/speed and/or fix problems?
Hey.
I have a Galaxy Ace, and usually I was using it with the original firmware of Samsung (Vodafone Portugal operator).
Last week after long periods of inactivity the mobile just stops to work for an hour or something like that, I mean the screen just does not answer to my touches.
So I thought it was some software problem, and I decided to install the CM7. The problem continues. So now, very often when I wake up, my mobile doesn't work for a while (even if i disconnect the battery... just work if I let the battery out of the phone for around 10 minutes).
I recorded a video with the problem of the phone.
Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance.

okkkkkk man but ur baseband is same try different framework like ddkq or kph one.
U mean install another rom?
And when it freeze do you have wifi turned on? If yes try to set in wifi settings no turning wifi off while is screen locked...

I don't think so, but I will make the test tonight.
I'll post the results tomorrow.
Yeah a stock rom(ddkq or kph ones) then install icsunday2 ...
Best combo
...
........
.............
Reason-these rom's are scratch roms like cm7 or icsunday they need a Stock rom or baseband to work.the Roms like sangingeracelite change ur baseband.that's why changing ur baseband might help

plzzzz hit thanks if I helped you in any means .......
hmmmm, i think you have problem with hardware
Try to check your device in service...
Good luck man
I checked the Wi-Fi thing, and today the phone worked good. So I guess that is not the reason.
Yeah, it will be the best option. I've to go to a Samsung service.
I will post the news ASAP.
Thank you all!
in stock rom have problems with wifi too
after installation cm have no problem more
Hey guys,
Just want to ask have anyone ever experience Sleep of Death(SOD) on your Ace?
SOD is that the phone goes into deep sleep or u can say it shuts down automatically when your screen is off for about 10 minutes...sometimes you must remount your battery only it will start up...its kinda annoying because you have to reboot 4 or 5 times a day!!!
I flashed my friend's stock rom from 2.3.4 xxkpn - 2.3.4 xxkph and rooted, deodexed, and have CodeRom v2x-2b flashed.
Everything goes nice and smooth...but the next day it goes SOD even so, i reflashed everything for 3 times but still things don't get solved.
But funny thing is i flashed my Ace with specification above everything is working superbly fine since the 1st day till now, but my friend's Ace goes SOD.
If there is anyone have experience on solving SOD don't mind sharing it??
because tried methods such as turning off wifi while screen is off and other methods posted on the internet but still won't work...thanks
yes, it's a common problem with SGA. for some people it happens everyday, for others it happens once a weak. you never know.
there are custom roms that dnt have this problem. right now i'm using GingerReal-2.0. it's very stable and fast.
oh...will try that ROM someday...but i'm still satisfied with my CodeRom
thanks bro.
SOD problem on SGA solved!!!
The cause of the 'SOD' is all because of the wifi when there is no connectivity or the phone is unable to connect. This has been tested for several times.
Just make sure to turn off the wifi when you are not in use and the 'SOD' problem will be solved.
The same for me
I'm also experiencing SODs with this smartphone. The Wi-Fi trick seems to help, but it is really unfriendly to the user. So, still waiting for a real fix.
