Every once inwhile my keyboard stops working and I cannot type in any box that to fill in text. I tried the Swype and the Samsung keyboard and both didn't work. The only way that I have been able to get it to work is by restarting the phone. Is there another way to fix this?

I was using cm nightly and then I flashed Batista rom and now I came back to revolution 2.6 but this problem started after flashing cyanogen rom.

I think that the problem has nothing to do with you flashing any rom. I have mine with stock rom and it happened to me twice.

Hi all
I decided to flash ics 4.0.3 leaked rom to my SGS2. It caused all sorts of problems such as apps not working, wifi issues, apps dissapearing from home screens, random lock ups and crashes.
So i decided i would flash back to a stock 2.3.4 rom and this is were problems started. I just get stuck in boot loops. Ive flashed on generic xeu roms that are for the uk with no luck. My phone came un branded when i bought it.
Ive tried older roms too all causing me the same problems. Im getting me roms from here and flashing using odin. It flashes fine but when i come to rebooting it just starts rebooting over and over.
Is there any reason for this? Is there a tried and tested uk rom i should be using?
If i flash the 4.0.3 rom it works everytime.
It sure sounds like your phone needs a factory reset.
Back up your current ROM with cw recovery and try it out.

Look for it in settings/privacy or boot into cw recovery if you have that installed.

So I have had a nightly CM9 on my GT for a while now. I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch for my phone and there are tons of restrictions on which rom/kernal/recovery that you have to be on to go back and forth between ICS and GB.
Just wondering if I want to go back to a HC rom that I can just flash away and now worry about that. I can't remember if I ever when back to HC from ICS on my Tab.
Thanks
overcome rom
I have had some booting problems when trying to go from ice to hc . I tried a few but if u flash overcome hc rom u will be safe then you can flash any other Hc rom u like. I have done it a few times. Or if u are familiar with Odin you can use that without a hitch. Make sure u do a data wipe cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe Before u flash.
I go from ics to honeycomb on my tab all the time, and don't have any issues. Just remember to go into cwm and factory reset and wipe cache / dalvik before you flash.

What's your favorite ics rom if you don't mind me asking
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I've switched between Overcome and CM9 without any issues - just make sure you do the usual backup, and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.
I'm currently playing with CM9 Nightly, and AOKP - both seem pretty stable apart from the touch screen locking every now and then.

Unless you're totally bricked you can always restock with ODIN.

I have used both Cyanogenmod9, and AOKP build 36. Both are excellent ICS builds, and both have different options that make them stand out from each other. I can't say either one is better, but I started with CM9 so I tend to lean to that one more. My only gripe is probably the same gripe everyone else has: the camera doesn't work. It won't work until official ICS comes out, and I've accepted that. For that reason, task14 is my go-to ROM.

Thanks all, I just wanted to make sure since the Epic 4G Touch has so many restrictions on how to flash back forth between ICS and GB.
I have to restock my Tab with Odin and an 'official' ROM from samsung-updates.com first.
Trying to go back directly from AOKP to Overcome or Infamous with CWM Recovery leeds to bootloops for me or the ROM just won't install in Recovery...
I rooted my phone using rachmat3 methed awhile back then flashed Siyah-s2-v4.0.1-CWM.zip everthing went ok i have been using the kernal for 2days now nd i was going to flash my first rom last night but cwm wouldnt load on my third attempt it worked but im put off flashin rom incase of a brick bug.
Anyway my phone went funny earlier everything on my phone went a negative colour i restarted phone its normal again whats wrong??
Heres my specs
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
siyah = safe
Siyah is safe from the superbrick bug. You have other problems
Sent from Jelly Fuelled SGS2
The brick bug has two parts playing role. A hardware bug, i think intratech has tool to detect that. And a software( kernel )which allows to use of a specific command to erase data while flashing.
If those conditions are met, and you try to flash a new rom which uses that erase command ur phone becomes bricked.
Most new kernels are safe, but you should check logs and user feedback beforehand to be sure. One version of siyah had the bug but now it's removed afaik. (i have faulty chip and I'm on siyah)
By the way inverse colour is a siyah "feature". Press home 4 times

first u can use the kernel that comes with PA v2.16 for a cpl of re-charge cycles and see the performance later u can flash siyah kernel if u feel so
But woudnt i need siyah kernel to restore my back up incase of problems or can that be done using stock pa
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
If you want to keep Siyah and PA together, in CWM just flash PA then Siyah again.
Hi sorry if i seem like a noob this is my first post.
So basically i was on stock until i decided to flash omegas rom, im now currently using 27.1 and siyah kernel 1.7b4 and no matter what i do i cannot make phone calls or send texts from my phone, it just says emergency calls only. I have rang their customer support who sent me a new sim out that didnt work and well ive basically tried everything i know in the settings and what not, i always do a full wipe coming from any rom even if it states i dont need too.
So im hoping you guys have some ideas.
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Might have been a bad download for either the rom or the kernel. Try and redownload both (Can get the update versions as well, Omega v28, or v29 soon, and Syiah 1.7rc1) if you like.
Try reflashing those, as well as formatting /system, wiping both cache and delvic cache, and then fixing permissions.
Does it display as if you have a signal? Have you checked your imei number?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hi i will try that v28 is currently downloading and i will reflash siyah to see if that helps.

Hi yeah i have full signal and my imei is displayed correctly.

Im not sure if this matters but when i did the *#1234# thing all the things are different. Not sure whether this could have caused it or not.

Just 're flashed omega v28 doing a full wipe wipe cache and dalivik and still no change. I just left the original kernel that came with omega. Really don't know what's happened to my phone.

I would try a factory reset at this point. Wiping /system and /data as well.
I have done that and it still isn't working.

No Service,After flashing Paranoid Rom.
I checked Baseband version.It shows Unknown.
So i flashed two 4.1.2 Baseband.But both did not work.
Then i flashed leaked JB 4.2.1 version ROM,Now All Service and Data Service working.
After that i rooted the stock rom and again i tried to flash PA rom.
This is also happening for CM rom.
But for other custom stock rom or temasek's UNOFFICIAL cm,it is working well.
Why?
Any solution?
I tried the same rom on another Galaxy S3.
Service was working well.
Mine and another s3 have same Baseband.
I did same steps to install for both headset.
Did you wipe your phone before installing the new rom?

I flashed stock rom.i tried to flash but no luck.
I think I need to completely reset my device.
For that do I need pit file?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
If you mess with Pit you are likely to have a brick .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
jje
don't mess with PIT, just reflash another working CM rom (like slim) and it should be fine. THen if you want re flash stock, but you should be fine anyway.
