[Fix] Phone Force close bug - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Some problems with my phone

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.

[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:

My X10i Turns off by itself

I flashed my x10i with MOKEE 4.2.2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686110 ).
Now whenever I start an application, the phone turns off on its own!
I noticed that when the app tries to use WIFI connectivity, the shutting down problem occurs!
I did the wipe stuff from recovery, and the problem is still on!
Would you please help me fix the problem !
Thanks in advance
Ok, I tried many things such as wiping data and stuff... I said it didn't work.
But when I flashed GAPPS 4.2.2 Minimal ( @ goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2//5-22_GApps_Minimal_4.4.2_signed.zip ) after restoring/wiping ofc... the problem seems to have been solved... for the time being!
If anything happens after this, I will update it;
I don't know if I should edit the post's title to [SOLVED]..
Waiting for other members replies!

[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.

[Q] Please help me out: is in my situation good to flash?

Hi
I have the Samsung Galaxy S I9100 and a few problems. Please proceed and read carefully.
Summery of my problems:
(1) The famous clipboard bug: when copy text for about 16 times, the phone restarts. Samsung won't update the SII so the problem will not be recovered.
(2) Home button doesn't work: I read somewhere that this can be recoverd trough deleting a special map with root acess. Is that true?
(3) Front cam don't work correct: this is a software problem because when the battery is unloaded (phone go off) and charged for about 20% the front cam works again. Is this a bug?
All the problems don't solve, even after: clean cache per app, clean cache in recovery mode (via the reboot recovery app because home button doesn't work), multiple full factory reset. I have these problems for about 4 months now, and I'm getting CRAZY!
Now comes the part with flasing, for example CM. My 5 questions:
- The one-click installer is compatible with my phone (thank God!). Is it safe without a working home button? Are there other things I need to take care off?
- Will flashing CyanogenMod solve the above 3 problems?
- My phone is rooted, will this cause problems during installation?
- I want the stable version. I there a danger that functions like the alarm won't work? I read somewhere that CM is not reponsible for eventually a loose of job because the alarm won't work...
- Will my network provider keep on working after flashing? Can I keep on talking and using 3G?
3 more questions about CM vs other mods:
- I have now official 4.1.2> if I don't like CM , is there also a one-click backup and reload installer available?
- Will flashing to a new official stock android version solve the above three problems?
- What other things I could try to solve the problems, before trying to flash?
I hope someone can provide me with answers and can help me to get a better phone!
(Please explain in child language because first I'm Dutch and my English is not THAT good and second I am a noob in flashing, roms, CM.......rooting succeed because of another one-click installer. I love them!)
