Problem, is it software related?? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am currently running the latest XEU UK firmware KI4
Firstly when i go into the gallery for the first time since reboot it say "loading..." for about 5 - 10 secs (Very slow) I have about 2 pictures on my sd card and have just purchased a new samsung 32gb card as i thought the old card was the problem but it appears not
Next when i reply to a text message I have to tap the message box a few times before the keyboard eventually pops up
Can anyone else confirm??
Thanks

Well I'm not 100% sure, but it may is software related. Yesterday I flashed a stock ROM and had similar problems.
Is it rooted? If yes, I'd do a backup with ClockWorkMod and flash another ROM to check if the problem is there too.

Its not rooted, completely stock rom, ill just wait for the next update i suppose
thanks

You could check the background programs and see what's loaded...
Since its stock it might be bloatware problem, so I will say software for sure.

Backup data and factory reset is always the first solution .

Messaging stopped working and has to close

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help
S3 was locked to three UK network.
Odin flashed generic newer UK firmware.
Decided to hard reset via buttons.
(noticed a message about multi cnc being applied)
Once it had gone in to the set up in ICS it keeps saying
" Messaging stopped and had to close " or something along those lines.
Tried to reset again and it wont clear.
Anyone know how to fix?
Should I odin flash the firmware again or do I have to go back to original three firmware file, then reflash the new one?
Also note my handset is now network unlocked using code supplied by provider.
Look forward to any assistance and advice, thanks
I had this problem when flashing a custom rom. The trick is to flash without wiping data, albeit this issues has been cleared up in newer versions.
Not sure what to advise if you're just after the firmware... download a custom rom and make a backup of the sms feature.
Hangon I may have the sms fix still on my phone from when I had this issue I'll upload if I can find it. Make a nandroid first though as I can't be sure it'll be transferable as I used it on the XXALE8 firmware (the only one at the time)
Edit: I no longer have it, can't find it anyway. You'll have to ask indie from omega and see if he still has the file. The one you're looking for is called "sec_csc.zip" I'm sure he'd remember if you tell him its for the sms fix.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help

similiar problem
Hi guys, I have a problem which is similar but not after a custom rom install. My messaging app just closes when I go to add a contact button to the right. Any ideas. thanks.

i'll tried to full wipe the rom and install again ,but still same problem
I've been a lurker here for nearly two years now. But this time I wanted to make an account.
I installed JellyBam 3.3.0 yesterday which is based on CM10. It's an AMAZING ROM but unfortunately I have to go back to stock since I got the same problem than the OP.
I got the problem "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." While I was transferring my mp3s on my SDCard.
The problem occurs randomly and also occurs if I copy file on internal storage of the phone.
I tested my SDCard. There's no bad sector on it
I changed switch usb cable... the problem still occurs
I deleted the usb drivers and re-install it . Still no luck.
I went back to stock ICS 4.0.1 this morning and file transfert work perfectly.
That's crazy stuff...then again, crazy stuff happens.
Problem
Oddly enough, I am having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. On my 5th? phone, but came with IMM76K instead of JRO03O (VZW). Unlocked and rooted and flashed updated image. Never have I seen this happen since I've been using Android (HeroC days). I'm going to reset, relock, and report back.

I'm pretty sure it's a firmware issues and not hardware.
As I mentioned earlier, I switched back to stock on my S2 and everything is perfect now (minus the fact that everything is not smooth as JB)
Yep, its definitely software problem.
Used a few roms on my S2 before, it didnt occur on any other, including last official JB.
On CM10.1 when copying files from PC into internal memory, i get same error - it copies few files, and the denies to copy for the next few ones.
any ideas?
____________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
@SystemC - I think I've found the reason, which is actually pretty stupid ,)
The problem was with Odin running in the background ^_^ it was somehow interfering with USB transfer. And I reflashed phone 4 times trying to debug it... hahaha ^_^ what a failure

I had the same problem, found one workaround that worked for me. I always copy my music to my music folder in my sd card. So after I got the occasional files that wouldn't copy, I just copied them straight to the sdcard, not in the Music folder. No error message. Don't know why this is happening, definetly a software thing.
Re:
I have the same problem,CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable,in mass storage the speed is about 1-1.5 mbps,when on MTP the speed is good,but after a short time it stops with the error "This device has either stopped responding or been disconnected"!
This is a CyanogenMod problem...hope someone will fix it!

[Q] Random freeze? [SOLVED]

It's been a week or so that my phone freezes. If I leave it for some 20-30 minutes, it resumes normal operation. However these freezes are very frequent. This is happening on all ROMs I'm flashing. I even tried flashing pure stock ROM (ZSEMA1), and the freeze is still happening. Before I take it to the dealer (I live in a country where Samsung is not present, and the dealer will most probably need to ship it away for fixing), I'm trying to see if this happened with anyone else and how they managed to fix it. Also, other than resetting the flash counter, what do I need to do in order to take it back to complete stock?
Hi! I have the same problem. I rooted my phone and loaded clockwork recovery and flashed the camera app from 4.2
Now my phone randomly freezes (always when in sleep so I can't turn it back on). Only way to get it to start is to remove battery or soft reset. Any one else have this?
Is your phone around 6mths old, by the accident? Did it started recently?
I do not want to be bad news trumpet, but please read symptoms in this thread...

You know, if your eMMc is already failed - new ROMs are unable to do anything. The nature of so called "fix" is the prevention only, there are several threads about SDS AFTER flashing XELLA/XELLC in General section.
SOLVED
Ok so since I'm in Qatar I flashed the United Arab Emirates stock ROM (XXELLB) and it's been 1 day without any hiccups. This is the longest the phone has gone without hanging, and I must say the it's REALLY VERY RESPONSIVE. Crossing fingers.

[Q] FIXED! ATT SGH-I717 Sim card error!!

*READ BELOW FOR A GUIDE TO FIX*
I've had my note for over a year now and i have had it rooted pretty much the entire time. Never any problems with it up until recently it started doing this thing where it would keep restarting. It would boot up and less than a minute later just restart. Off and on for a few days it was doing this. I was still running 2.3.6 at that point. So i decided to push 4.0.4 via odin since kies didnt support the firmware. Everything was working fine for a few hours then all of the sudden "the ring of death" showing me no service. Went through the phone and noticed it was saying there is no sim inserted. Tested sim on another phone. Works fine. Since then ive figured out via kies i can recovery and update firmware. Tried that. No Bueno. Now im to the point where im on 4.0.4 with no service. I've scoured through forums trying all kinds of different things, pushing different roms and modems via odin and cwm. Still no bueno.
Baseband version
Unknown
Kernel Version
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UCLF6
If anyone can give me ideas im willing to try them out.
Thanks.
I got it working so heres a direction for anyone else who has this issue!
Replaced Sim&SD card reader-No fix
After flashing all kinds of roms & modems still same issue saying no sim inserted.
Do a hard reset through your settings.
Flash cwm and put the radio from this link on your sd card. Use cwm to flash the radio.
Flash rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598 via odin.
The first try i got an error during flash and got stuck on the software download error screen.
Reflashed the JB rom.
After its flashed flash clockwork recovery.
Enter cwm and do a factory reset. Clear cache. Clear dalvik cache. Reboot system.
If you get service, turn off phone. enter cwm and do a backup.
Reboot system.
It should be working.
If not restart and make sure to do a factory reset through your settings in the phone before reflashing rom.
Got the Phone up and running for about 30 mins.
After battery removed it reverted back to no sim card inserted.
Kept reflashing rom until it worked again.
Flashed cwm.(ClockworK recovery mod)
Deleted cache, dalvik cache
Backed up via cwm
If it reverts back to no sim after that restore using the cwm backup.-it worked for me
Now for the tricky part, my phone was getting crappy service...
So heres what i did to fix it.
Settings-more settings-mobile networks-access point names-click on the apn.

I believe I've read something like this before. I think they fixed it by starting over from scratch. Try returning to stock thru Odin. Then root and flash rom of choice.

GB stands for Gingerbread which was the first version of the OS that came with the phone. I believe the number was 2.3.6 (you can take a look in the about section in the settings and it'll tell you what you're currently running). ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich which for our phone was 4.0.4 i believe. Jelly bean just came out today which you can use Kies to upgrade to and that I believe is 4.1.2. The numbers don't really mean a think, just the classification of what the OS is so if your phone reads something else (say 2.3.4) assume your phone is right and I'm wrong. I can't remember OS versions to save my life haha.
But you can use Kies to do an emergency recovery and I THINK it'll install Gingerbread. that's where I'd start, then test it, and then move to ICS and test, and then move to JB and test. I know long tedious process, but sometimes it's necessary. Imagine how fun I am to talk to on the phone while troubleshooting a computer :laugh:

what I use to migrate, and I between roms at least once a week with a full wipe because I rely on my phone being stable.
SMS and call logs: SMS Backup + (saves your call logs and sms to your gmail account. Makes a label for it and everything, pretty sweet. You can also restore from it. it takes about an hour for me to restore at 7000+ text messages).
pictures/media: stored on SD card
apps: if rooted and rommed I use titanium backup and run 2 sets. those which I want to keep my data like sms backup + to make restore easier and those I don't care about the data like google voice. If you're stock, just remember to check the little box in the beginning saying backup this phone to google (or something like that) and the next time you have to restore tick the box that says restore from google (or something like that) and it'll reinstall your apps. Mind you not the info, but it'll give you a head start.
As with your issue with installing roms. If you're using CWM i highly recommend switching to TWRP, not saying it's better in fact I like CWM better, but TWRP is the best for our roms and phone. If you have no clue what I mean by CWM or TWRP, read the all info sticky about how to rom thy phone.
I hope that helps.
Thanks OG. Yes, I know CMW and TWRP. I used to switch ROMs a lot. Finally stuck with Collective's latest (the orange one) pretty happy with it except that it's major glitch seems to be reboots whenever an app updates. So I figured unchecking auto update in Gstore should handle that.
You're saying I should try rooting w Odin again, install Superuser, then use TWRP to flash with? I'll be happy to read another 4 hrs of posts/stickies if that'll get me sorted out. I don't expect people like yourself to spend your day helping me. I'm very thankful for your tips here.
I've poured thru the "All things Gnote" threads and Noob Guides. They can be confusing as they always link out to many different threads. There is hardly ever a "Here are the steps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Thanks again OG.

No problem always happy to help. since you're used to this sorta thing you don't need to use odin again and reroot. What you can do is either install TWRP through CWM using this file here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/sgh-i717/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.zip
Or you can install Goo manager, click settings and select Install OpenRecoveryScript (though that's only 2.4.4.0 the link above is 2.5.0.0)
That should change you over to TWRP. and like always do a nandroid backup and then flash to your heart's content!
fixed!

i have the same issue.....i kn0w its n0t an hardware issue....my ph0ne is fairly new never dr0pped and this started happening 3 days after i p0rted black star jb alpha
I have this same issues ive tried flashing everything ive tried a new sim and replaced the card reader.
What works consistently for me if to flash the latest modem everytime i have to reboot or boot the note. Its my daughters phone now and she drains the battery regularly if it boots after charging or it needs to be rebooted for whatever reason it will come up with the no sim card error. If i flash the modem thru recovery it will work for that boot but only as long as I dont reboot or shut the phone off, then i will have to flash the modem again.
Not fixed
All. This is not fixed. I am having the same issue and if you follow the guide, it works for a day maybe regardless of what rom is loaded or what modems. Has anyone found a real solution to this yet??
i717 running stock GB or ICS or JB roms...
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue. Replaced the sim/sd card slot and still no dice ): Flashed to stock and back. Nope. Still won't work

I'm having the same problem. There seems to be no set way to get it back to working. Basically any reboot of the phone produces a no sim card error. I have tried flashing the modem through recovery as it was mentioned that will fix the problem. That did not work for me. What does work, sometimes, is one of the following:
1. Full wipe and reinstall
2. Restore backup from Recovery
3. Fix permissions
I just keep doing one of the above listed and eventually it works. However if the phone reboots then it's back to the carousel of trying these options to get it back to working.
I'm running Padawan JB V2
I honestly have no idea what's causing it. I haven't tried to fix permissions before to fix this issue, but if I go into recovery and install the modem again and reboot, it works fine for a while (and by a while, I mean like a few hours at max).
Just started having this issue, myself...after flashing Tmo_SGH-T989_VKL1_radio_ATTNOTE.zip modem on my phone...restoring from a prior backup...
Restoring a backup will not change your modem.

[Q] Intermittent network problem GT-i9300

Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.

ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem
