Hello,
i recently changed from HD2 to SGS2 and im really new about how things work on this side..
My Problems are:
I receive the same SMS multiple times.. It usually stops when i get another SMS but then it continues with that new one..
When screen is off (standby) i dont receive any calls.. It keeps ringing on the other side but i dont see anything on the phone.. Just when i have the phone beside any radio or speakers, i hear that something is coming (you know that mecanic sound that comes from PC speakers etc.), but there is nothing on the phone.. Also same for the SMS'es, i get the SMS'es after i turn the screen on..
When in standby, it shuts off the Wifi, even if i set up the Sleep Policy to never..
So i suppose, the phone shuts almost any radio, when in standby (maybe something like flight mode).. And i dont know what are those related to ? Should i just change the kernel (if so, which one ?) or completely change the ROM and everything..?
My Phone has currently Android 2.3.3 (i think it is an official standard rom)
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7
Mobile Company: SIMYO - Germany
Hope there is a solution..
Thanks
just wanted to up the post.. give me at least some ideas, even if you dont know any solution..
thanks..
same problem here...
Push...
Problem is still there.
Upgraded to a bunch of different ROMs and Kernels but nothing has changed so far.
Have the same problem but also some more info
My problem started a week ago, same symptoms. I also noticed that one of my apps was stalling, Total call recorder. Just uninstalled it and the problem have been solved for an hour right now. Ill keep you updated when more time has past.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 , Android ver. 2.3.5 Original
i had the problem always, even after hardreset, so i think it wasnt a software problem..
i gave the phone for repair on 14. sept. and im still waiting.. it came aready 2 times as "repaired" but the problem was still there..
i dont know if im unlucky or if samsung sucks..! either way im waiting for more than 3 months and dont know what else i can do..

Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-
Hi all,
I have x10 mini pro, that acts very weird. When Iam on phone with someone, xperia starts turning on and of my microphone, sometimes it turn on loud speaker and display is turning of and on ... My suspicion was, that the proximity sensor is somehow damaged, so I send it to service. After few weeks, they told me, that everything is okay and there is no glitch with phone. But they were wrong, glitch was still there ... Next day I send xperia to service again, again they didn't find anything. I tried to send phone to service at least 8 times, but the result still the same, they just restarted phone to factory setting...
Now Iam wondering if update to new custom rom (e.g. CM9) would solve this problem?
After all these factory resets, experia is hardcore slow, so I need to do something with phone, because it is unusable ...

Well it does, Iam little bit sad about that. Phone is still in guaranty, but I dont know why the original service isn't able to find out that problem. Iam going to try to write to Sony and will see. Have you tried to flash your device to custom rom?
Hi all,
My Galaxy S II keeps crashing. The phone will just power off and the battery will drain right out and the only way to turn it back on is take the battery out then charge it again. Sometimes if I am quick and realised it has crashed I can take the battery out and turn it back on and the battery will have drained 30% in an hour.
Does anybody know why the phone might do this or is there a way I can track whether something in particular is crashing the phone via a log or something like that?
Thanks
Yes there are apps that can do that.
So whats the score.......are you on latest o2 or latest unbranded.
Post the about phone details lol.
Hi,
It is on the latest H3G UK firmware and is unlocked via the Galaxy S Unlock app by Helroz (so via nv_data.bin)
4.0.4
I91000NELP4
Build: IMM76D.XWLPY
Any ideas and what is the app called?
Thanks
Hello,
Just thought I would take this opportunity to join this thread since I have been suffering from a very similar (if not identical) problem on my S2 too. It's quite lengthy, apologise for that - hope to give as clear a picture as possible:
- S2 originally from vodafone contract, am now with giffgaff
- 1 year and 6 months old
- not rooted, have always used Samsung official firmware
- updated to ICS 4.0.4 about a month ago(?)
- Kernel version 3.0.15-1056084, build number: IMM76D.BULPG
I must say I can't be certain if the random crashes started (it would sometimes heat up really hot, or sometimes not warmed up at all), phone will just turn off. Can't turn back on without taking battery out and re-inserting.
Similarly, the battery level will drop by 30+% once the battery is re-inserted.
Have experienced once where it started up in "safe mode" and although everything was still there, the apps I have put in folders were all listed cos the folders were gone. Restarted and it wasn't in safe mode anymore, but had to create new folders and sort my apps again.
The random turn offs can happen every few days, or twice a day. Don't know why it happens.
I haven't installed many new apps (some are by japanese developers but worked fine before and after I updated firmware), asked at a Vodafone store and they suggested it could be a battery problem. (offered to send it off for repair, but will take 7-10days and factory reset, which I want to avoid...)
So bought and changed a new battery (from Samsung website) which looked good (no random shut downs for a week) but it all started again last night. So it's not the battery.
Suspected it's most probably software problems.
After upgrading to 4.0.4 firmware, the phone cannot display phone serial number/network etc etc under the "legal information" in settings.
The battery log seems funny too, I would re-insert battery and restart, the battery log will still show it's been on battery for 20+hours.
I've also spotted that there're 2 OS running when looking at the battery log - when I upgraded from gingerbread to ICS, I did not do a factory reset (is that absolutely necessary?) but phone has been working perfectly for a few months after the upgrade so I thought nothing of it....
I wanted to post a screenshot but not allowed cos I'm new to forum... =(
Is it because there're 2 OS so it's clashing...?
Since I haven't rooted, I'm not sure what I can do - last resort is to wait until JellyBean rolls out from Samsung and factory reset when I upgrade?!
Hope I've given enough info to get help easier.
PS: Kies is testing my temper. Tried to solve the "this device is not supported by KIES" problem by reinstalling whilst not connected to internet, kind of worked, allowed me to backup small files (such as call logs) but when it comes to big bits e.g. photos, it will show the "unexpected error" message again.....
also got "wssyncmlnps has stopped" on my phone...
ARGH!!! just wana backup my stuff before it completely turns into a brick!

Glad to know it is not just me. I'm hoping I can get an app that will log what is going on right up until crash time!

Me too facing above all,unfortunately riding in same boat.
Hi all this is my first post, nice to meet you all.
Last week I connected phone to Kies and it asked to update to XXELLA (JB) so thought Ok I'll update it. At first was very impressed with some new features etc but my phone has since developed a few rather annoying problems.
1) Battery seems to go much quicker with no extra usage from me. Using the phone the exact same way.
2) Mobile data intermittently stops working after you come off the internet or an app no longer requires a connection. It will be turned on in the setttings but no 3G symbol on top of screen
3) The most annoying issue with this phone now since update is when the above happens (3G turned on but no connection) my phone will not send/receive text messages and will not call out.
I have to power cycle the phone to correct it (restart)
Just to let you know my phone is now rooted but this wasn't done til a few days ago and problem was happening before this.
P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem with texts etc, but a few weeks ago now I tried calling a mate on O2 only to be joined into someone elses conversation. We both could here the other person but they couldn't here us and I couldn't hear my friend either. Ended the call then rang my friend again and was fine. Just a bit scary that you could be in someone elses conversation unknowingly these days, and you wouldn't have a clue.
Any solution to my problems, other than to revert back to ICS instead of JB are welcome.
As this is a Samsung update contact Samsung service centre .
Or try a factory reset or join XDA and flash stockJB firmware are your choices .
Root voids Samsung warranty
jje
My phone has improved slightly instead of locking up reception as I'll call it when data turned on, it now works for a short while then stops working where as before it was as soon as it was activated.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve i'll unroot and contact samsung or get a custom rom put on and see if that improves things somewhat.
thanks
hi all,
i need your help for my problem
from the first time i used this phone already got the problem.
everytimes when phone charging ( or after charging ), the touchscreen gone crazy if i got an incoming call and at least 2-3 times incoming call. after that everythings normal. FYI, the touchscreen does not has a problem while using daily or playing games whole day...just happened when i charge the phone and incoming call. I dont know what is the problem, in my area doesnt has a sony service center. First i thought it was a software problem but after update to the latest version, the problem still exist.

Thank you for your replied.
Current build number : 34.4.A.2.50 ( April 1 security patch ).
I just updated normally via wifi.
Still stock rom and i didnt root it.
The problem exist when im charging the phone then call coming or i switch on/off the network...screen starting gone crazy. I guess it always happen when i switch on/off the network, thats why when call coming the screen start touch itself ( with the charger plugged in ). It will be normal after 2-3 times call, i cant answer/making the call so very annoying. I have to wait after screen back to normal after 2-3 times call. I have never face this kind of problem with other phones so thats weird.

since its bootlocked phone there is nothing much can be done on the software side
if you hadn't dropped your phone or anything, try flashing different build / country / version and check!
this is the first case i am hearing.
if it stays the same you may have to take it to the service centre
