Some problems with my phone - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got some problem with my phone (in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1235725)
what I did now is just leave it that way (restoring the backup I did 2 day ago) and installing a now ROM ( congition 1.5) now all of a sudden my Kies air stop working!
Every time I pushed start the app shutdown.
what can I do to fix this problem? and can someone also answer my question about TB in the link above?

Hi,
I have a little problem..when I on my phone go read my mail and when I wanna download some material in Word it doesn't want to download it..what is solution?

I think that I've just understood what is my problem with my phone.
I think the problem is with my WIFI/GPS/tracking system. Except from my problem using Kies I've also encounter with problem using Foursquare's check in Option, and using navigation with Google's Maps.
I think that I've done something to my phone when I've done the system Data wipe and by that started all of those problems.

Please don't start a new thread in future. You've already got an existing thread, so opening another one is just cluttering up the forum even more.

ok sorry.
Can anybody answer me?

Please can you help me with that?

please can someone help me with that?? I'm waiting for almost a week for an answer.

Nobody can understand your post .
Link does not work .
Cognition rom and Kies problem ask in Cognition thread makes a lot more sense .
jje

I can't connect to Kies, and apps that are using GPS, like Foursquare, Doesn't get a fix on my place.
and I'm not using Congition anymore I'm using Litening 6.1 and those problems are still happening.

Same here, tried hard reset or flash another rom but the problem still here...
Any ideas
Will it be a hardware issue?? Pls help!!
no one know?
HTC service Center advised the following :
1. Take out sim card and storage card to eliminate the error tht maybe caused by this 2 items... i've done it... and restart... walaaa... like a charm it works...
But on fine fine day i install cab file... then the old problem again haunted my hd2...
tried the above methods.. this its no longer worked..
Fed-up, i just let it be like that... then on one fine day.. I install another cab file... CHT and CHT Editor to be exact... walaaa... the old problem eliminated.. hv install/uninstall few cab file after tht (analog clock cab file).. so far everything still ok..
I would like to refresh this topic.
It started to happen to me like month ago from no special reason. I use SD Android build, so with every restart to go back to WM, time/date changes from couple minutes to couple weeks to both directions.
Hard reset did not help. Another ROM flashed did not help.
It seems to occur only when rebooting Android -> WM. WM -> WM reset direction mostly OK. Battery-out almost always changes time/date.
Just a thought: Is there any kind of "CMOS battery" like in PC motherboards, that can be weak/broken in the HD2?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

I've got the same problem using Omega rom v30. It's solved easily enough by using sptimesync to get the exact time. What's your rom? I'm gonna flash and see if anything changes
My ROM is:
WM- HD2O
Android - MccM HD V6
This is also happening to me. It's happened before and it somehow corrected itself, but it's really annoying me at the moment. Any ideas as to the cause? Running WM6.5 ROM, stock 3.14. Not running android at all.

[Fix] Phone Force close bug

Hello evryone
I'm new here and may have a problem with my SGSII.
i read some information on the forum and internet, but don't found the way to fix it.
I was in KH3, and all was near fine.
I wanted update my phone to a newer version, so i used odin, and folow the rules on the thread of official roms. I've choosen XWKJ2, the last official rom.
So evrything was fine ( win7 64bits ) and odin ( 1.85 ) was green, the phone reboot, then my phone say me << he's sorry to close the 'com.android.phone' process>>. And he say me that in loop ever i click on, i have just to wait 10 sec, to get an other sorry msg. And even call anyone, it's fresh booted ...
i tested KK5 and KL1, i have the same too ... ( tryed reboot and killing data of sms and calls too ).
So, i've seen this page that may solve my problem, i'm not sure at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157934
but it's not explained ( maybe i didn't see it ) how install that, and if it could solve my problem.
And thank you all for the job is done at XDA, i learn some nice software things.

The thread you are referring to requires your phone to be rooted, also the warning in the first post states:
Quote:
Please install that fix ONLY if you are experiencing phone.apk FC during the call while screen is off and when the other side hangs.
On some devices that fix can bring to boot loops and any other malfunction.
So, how to fix my phone and go up to date with an official build ?

Thank you.
Have you tried rooting your phone using cfroot?
Then if all is working go back to the stock firmware you want?

[Q] Battery Problem + Updating doesn't work

Hey guys,
I hope someone will know the answer to my problems, I'll try to keep this short. (English is not my first language so excuse me for any mistakes I make).
Around 2 months ago I couldn't connect to my wifi, I tried everything, but eventually I thought the only solution was to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2.
That turned out to be a stupid decision. I made a back up of my media files, so those were safe. But the option to make a back up of your contacts using google didn't work, so I lost all my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages.
Factory resetting my phone was the solution to the wifi problem though, so I was happy with that. And in the mean time I've gotten a lot of my contacts back, so that's not that kind of a big issue to me anymore.
But now I have a new problem. My phone can't update it's firmware anymore. I've tried using the update function from the phone, but it says it can't connect to the server. And using KIES, it says that the phone can't be updated as well. Now it's running on 2.3.5 and I'd really like to get the new OS available. (This is problem #1).
Problem #2 is the fact that in the last few days my battery has been incredibly weak. Normally I could last 1,5 days to 2 days with a fully charged battery, but now it seems to only last about 4-6 hours. The phone seemed to be a lot warmer as well.
I've tried to find a solution for problem #1, and all I could find is that maybe the factory reset changed the settings of which country your phone is from (I'm from the Netherlands), and that this is the reason why I can't update my phone.
In the thread I found they were talking about using #1234# and checking the codes there, but when I use this my phone displays (translated) ''connection problem or wrong MMI-code''. So I can't check if the data changed after the factory reset.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there mate.
Im not a dev or something but from different cases that i've seen with many GS2 phones i think i can help you ( i hope at least ).
First of all i think you can easily update with odin to the new ICS firmware Samsung has for GS2.( If you use windows 7 run as administirator )
You can find many tutorials on youtube of how to do that.
Remember to back up all of your data before updating because they will be erased.
After installing fresh ICS firmware (official 4.0.3) you will need to do a factory reset.
Now for your second problem i think it might be an app problem which requires power from your CPU and that's why your phone is overheating and the battery is draining that fast.
I would suggest after using an app to kill it via the task manager so it won't run at the background demanding dedication from the system.
If that doesn't work also try re-installing all of your apps.
Hope you find this kinda useful friend and solve your problems.Take care
Thanks for the reply!
But before I upgrade with odin, don't I need to know the codes (representing where your phone is from etc.)?
I've found them under settings. They are:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
And how do I backup all my files? Especially contacts, text messages and whatsapp messages?
No problem ! Im glad that you found my info somehow helpful!
Now as i said earlier im not that kind of expert so giving the current sittuation i don't really know. You should search on the internet for your firmware available for your country and also you can search at sammobile.com then go to firmwares then select the Smartphone option then Android and you should be good to choose the firmware and download it for your region/country. ( Terribly sorry for not giving a link but xda forums are saying that i need more than 10 posts to post a link.
So good luck with that one :good:
I never tried it myself but i've seen that people backup their contacts,texts and apps with KIES so you should give it a try :good:
Either than that,this is all i know and im really sorry if i can't help you any further as im new here too
Alright thanks for the help.
I made a backup of my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages on my SD card. I'm almost gonna start using Odin. (You don't need a rooted device in order for Odin to work, right?). And I also only got a .tar file from the downloaded package from Sammobile.com, is that all I need?
I'll post the results
Yes Odin will work with unrooted and rooted devices!
I don't know if that's the file, i would do a little search before updating about the files and remember to watch a video on youtube to help you with the process !
Things to remember : If you are on windows vista/7 run Odin as administirator
After installing the firmware do a factory reset / clear cache
Good luck! I hope somebody more experienced than me will help you better than i did . :good:
Haha alright thanks for the help.
I used Odin this afternoon, with succes! I updated to 4.0.3 (only using the .tar file) and after that I factory reset my phone.
Also, I managed to succesfully retain my text/whatsappp messages + contacts, so everything's fine.
I'm going to try out my phone for a couple of days and I'll report if anythings wrong with it.
Really glad that things went in the right direction for you
Just a quick thought now, our Samsung Galaxy S2 will get a new update to 4.0.4 which is reported to be far better than the current one and will be available on the upcoming weeks so be prepared to do another update
But anyway you did a great job! :good:

[Q] The horror they call Kies (Connecting Problem)

Hi,
I'm totally losing my mind because of Kies.
First of all, i've had problems using Kies with my Galaxy S3 since the beginning.
Every time i wanted to use Kies (To back-up Messages en Contacts primarly) i had problems.
After trying a few things i usually got it to work just long enough to get those back-ups.
Yesterday i Back-upped again before flashing and wiping. Again for some reason i got it to work.
However today when i need that Back-up i can't get ANYTHING to work.
I've uninstalled, re-installed everything i could think about.
I used CCleaner to remove RegistryKeys
I tried changing COMports
I plugged it in to every single USB port on my PC
I've been searching Google and XDA for 3 hours, and trying all different options.
But so far none of them worked...
I really have no idea why it sometimes works and sometimes don't
Is there anyone who has any idea how to fix this?
I'm using W8 Pro
And is there any good alternative for after i got this to work? So i won't ever have to use Kies again.

google syncs your contacts on your phone! use sms backup & restore for all your messages

when you say flashing & wiping do you mean a custom rom? because kies won't work with anything but stock roms

And follow JJE's advice!
Hi,
Thanks for your response,
I've flashed a Stock Samsung (MC2) and flashed a few other things.
I've checked my RomCleaner file, and i noticed i deleted the # before Kies.apk
So that's the problem!
Is there anyone that can upload Kies.apk for me? Googling hasn't done me any good.
Or is there any way to extract it from the firmware?
Or is there any good contacts manager that i can use on my PC.
I have all my contacts back on my phone now, but there's a lot of information missing.
And i'd like to add that on my PC cause it's so much quicker!
And what about a good Music manager that can sync with my phone?
Greetings
Flash the rom again .
Or try Perkas File Stash .

[Q] New Rom 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 Samsung S Plus GT-I9001

Hello i hope someone can help me !?
I have an Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 official with the latest Rom Gingerbread 2.3.6. so because i want to use some apps they start from Jellybean 4.0..... i have to change !
I have done already some work on HTC One m7 like rooting so i think that as i am an newby i know a little bit of how to do things, but now with my Samsung i am lost kompleet !
I fond here in the xda section an thread related to my samsung and changing it to Jellybean 4.1.2 what i did, and everything is working so far, have Wifi, make Phonecalls, send SMS and MMS enter into Internet and get mails. Now the Problem comes that i am not able to go into the Google Playstore !
I have downloaded the apk from phone installed it and when i open it (to download from my account apps) it closes emidetly ! I have tried to recover my gapps, deleted the cache of google play, forced to stop and started again but now way.
The other thing i expirence now is that i am not getting any connection over USB to my computer anymore, it is installing some drivers and i have now in the explorer one CD drive with letter (what seam to come from my phone) but when i start it it say to enter an cd/dvd.
What i have done wrong or is somthing missing !? I hope not that i have Bricked my phone. And when it will be not possible for me to install Jellybean then i have to see to downgrade back to 2.3.6. so how can i do this !?
Sorry for my English but my main language is German and i try hard !
Thanks for any suggestion
Addition to my Problem !
it seam that i have destroyed (Bricked) my Samsung, since my first thread i was trying on to solve the Problem but with no way i can get it o work with any gapps app. the other thing is that i wanted the finaly to try to get it downgraded with ODIN Multidownloader, but like i see now in the ROM what was given from the XDA Forum there seam to be no MTD driver so the ODIN Multidownloader nor the Kies would identify or see my phone any more!
I that case i have to live with this and only can use the phone for Calls,SMS, Mails and nothing else ! At least somthing so the phone is not totaly useless ! :laugh :laugh:
What it looks like is that nothing is on the Phone like Framework, Downloadmanager, and all related Googel apps to work fully or make connection to Google Playstore and Computer USB for Kies.
