G tablet running vegan 7.0.0 rc1 stock kernel. Havent used the tablet in months. The wifi icon shows that i am connected but only stays white and does not turn green like usual. I am able to surf but everytime i open a new window it gives me a security warning and some blah blah blah about the certificate. I always click accept yet the same window pops up another 10 times. I tried resetting the connection using the settings, turning it on and off with the task bar, rebooting the tablet, telling the tablet to forget the hotspot and i manually reset it. Nothing fixes it. It has done this before and i just had to reboot it to fix it but now i guess that doesnt work anymore.
Help?
Well I'm not a genius when it comes to problems, but you could try booting into clockwork, and fixing permissions. See if that fixes it. Otherwise, you'll probably need to do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik in clockwork. If fixing permissions doesn't work, I would recommend downloading titanium backup and backing up your apps if you have any important data (before you do wipe data, etc)
If you haven't used the tablet in months, the first thing to do would be to check the date and time. Are they correct?
Yea. The date and time are always screwed up when the connection isnt green...
But for some reason its back to normal now...i just left it alone for a day on standby and it fixed itself...
Ill do the permissions fix and hope that prevents it from happening again.
Thanks fellas

Permissions are not magically going to change even if you haven't used the tablet in months, but, the various cached files will go out of data. Wipe cache instead of fixing permissions.
I tried changing the font with font changer. When it turned back on, the touch screen was unresponsive. The tab would keep restarting itself, and when it booted to the lockscreen it would just stay unresponsive until it restarted again. I got into recovery and wiped data, cache, and dalvik and installed another rom (I was using AOKP M4 and tried going back to Build 26). About a minute after going through the gapps setup, the screen became unresponsive and the looping started again as usual. I tried going to M4, Build 26, and Build 27 countless times and wiped those three things repeatedly but I always get the same result. What do I do?
You simply flash the 3.2 stock first to wipe everything, no need for pit file.
When you're done with that, then install the m4.
ahh thank you, all good now.
You're welcome Kudos!

You have quite an eye-catching signature
Work's all the time, quite the distraction, because truth be told, we like big guns, if you know what I mean
A few weeks ago, I wanted to move from CM9 to MIUI. So I flashed MIUI in CWM, as normal, and went through the AROMA setup. I chose to flash Siyah 3.something (not the brickbug one.)
So I flashed it, and then it asked me to reboot. I chose Yes. The text 'Rebooting...' appeared at the bottom the screen, but then the screen went dim. Left it for a couple of minutes, and then the screen started flashing random colors. Frightened, I pulled the battery and put it in.
It took almost ten seconds after me holding the POWER button for the device to get to the 'i9100' screen, and when it did, loads of green dots appeared on my screen.
I did a battery pull again, and all was fine. I got the same problem again whilst flashing Resurrection Remix not too long ago.
I don't get the issue after subsequent flashes.
Does anyone know why this happens, or has anyone else had this problem?
What wipes are you performing prior to flashing new ROMs?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I did a data wipe, a /system wipe and a dalvik cache wipe.
Please note that I don't get the problem anymore - I was just wondering why it happened.
yup happens sometimes to me too while flashing siyah based kernel..like some graphic corruption..but i think it aint harmful.has happened to me 3-4 times but nothing wrong till now..
Ok,from the beginning i want to tell my story with that phone. I bought him from a friend with a normal price and hadn t no problem at all,but upon a few weeks suddenly the home button starts to have a delay of 5-10 seconds,the proximity sensor exactly like home button (delay) ,the screen didnt rotate ,but the autorotation is activated,and when i want to do a calibration of this sensor,stuck a minute or two and after say that is calibrated but nothing happens . A week ago, i root my phone and try a lot of custom roms,but nothing helped yet 3 days when i install Sensation Rom ,and miracle,for two days everything works like anything doest happend,but after it stuck again.. please help,what can i do? it s a file damaged,or is a hardware problem ? a lot of thanks

Hard to say.
Could also be a hardware issue.
I recommend to flash back stock ROM with stock kernel.
Maybe you have to wipe data (do factory reset).
Then check again.
Good luck !

You've already done the extreme of reinstalling a stock ROM and performing a factory reset. I'm also assuming you didn't install a bunch of apps before the problem started, though.
My advice would be: go back to stock ROM again, factory reset, and SLOWLY reinstall your apps. This will help narrow down what app could be causing your issue. (if it is an app)
No bumping threads after 54 minutes. Not cool. People here aren't at your beck & call :-/

sorry for that ,but this site is my only hope
i tried ..i put the stock rom without any apps installed.but i had the same problems..by example when i want to delete a widget from the screen the phone stucks a few seconds,and the came to normal..the home button had the same delay and the proximity sensor works with the same delay,when i want to close a call ,stays a 5-10 seconds to light up the screen..i dont know,what is with him,i m disperate
..and what is strange,by example when is on charge ,the home delay dissapeared,works normally,but the rest of the problems remain
comeone..nobody knows anything about my problems with phone?
1.send it to Samsung for warranty.
2.get your money back from "friend".
I think i had similar problems with you previously, even worse maybe. Battery shows charging while cable is unplugged. Some of the time it pops up a warning message "Unstable Voltage". I did the same thing as you, flashing roms, wiping x " i forgot how many times", factory resetting X times and so on. What solved the problem for me was ;
-> i took out the battery
-> left phone untouched for several days
-> put the battery back -> charged till full
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe battery stats, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash latest stock rom ( 4.0.4 at that time )
-> reboot phone
-> root again ( flashing stock rom loses root ) using CF-Root
-> reboot to CWM recovery
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash PA (Paranoidandroid ROM - please follow the instruction from OP post) via CWM
->wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, FIX permissions
-> reboot phone
-> wait for apps updated and then reboot to recovery and FIX permission for the final time and VOILA!!
The phone works great up till this moment. Not sure if you gonna solve your issue with the way i did it but might worth the try. Nothing to lose anyway it seems as you were hardcore-ing flashing roms and wiping data and such. Good Luck!
Certainly that i hope this will be able to relieve you of the unnecessary distress.

i tried to do all things that you sayed to me,without to leave the phone with no battery several days..dand nothing happend,the problems persist ..i dont know ,i dont have a guarantee,and the cost may be high,thanks anyway
UP
Your friend clearly sold you a dodgy phone. You should demand your money back and use the phone to beat him until he pays. That is my diagnosis and clearly the answer to your "problem".
today after wipe everything and flash de jelly bam rom ,custom kernel etc..doesnt work at all,but i removed the battery for 30 minutes,and when i put it back and openned it ,everything works very well..just a calibrate,and clearly now have no problems..how long it mentain,i dont know,but even now i dont know what it had .. mistery
so,what are you thinking,what is the cause?
Im Argentinean first of all and I'd bought my new GS2 3 days ago on mercadolibre.com.ar (a site like ebay.com) to a guy that imports it from factory. After of almost 50 days of waiting, i did got my new mobile phone, when i got it i'd upgraded to JellyBean with the official samsung rom, and that's when the problems showed up, the top left corner come overheat turning off the device, over and over again. So after some failed testing I'd chosed to change the kernel to Siyah expecting some performance improve but it become kind of worst because when the screen blackout the device just reboot itself, but if i keep doing something on it nothing happens, just when the screen comes black.
So i guessed that it may was related to the kernel, so downloaded another official rom jelly bean, this one was a Pre-Release rom, that some time ago i'd installed on a friend's galaxy s2 and it worked fine (despite the increased battery drain). This wasn't any solution though, because it keeps rebooting when the screen comes black.
I did tested to turning on without the simcard and microsd card, with the same results.
Another fact is that if i left the music playing and turn of the screen with the power button, nothing happens, it works perfectly.
It seems that is some kind of trigger when the mobile actually suspend itself doing really nothing.
Now i dont know what to do, should i test some custome rom/kernel?? should i get the chances to use the warranty? (implies to send again the device to china i guess ¬¬)
Please help, and thanks in advance.

You should try custom rom. Try to Flash Neatrom or any stock custom rom.
Hope it solves your problem.

Firstly, you need to verify that it's a genuine S2. Turn the phone off, take the battery out and post on here EXACTLY what you see on the sticker in the battery compartment.... Just don't post the IMEI number...

Because your phone is now in Bootloop.
Bootloops can occur pretty easily, it’s mainly caused because system files interfering with each other which causes instability and/or crashes at the boot sequence.
Think of system apps that are compiled incorrectly, permissions that are not set correctly, files from other devices and even an init.d script, everything is possible.
To find the cause of a bootloop you have to think about what you did before getting the bootloop.
Choose one of the following reasons that caused the bootloop for you and try out its solution.
– After flashing a new rom
If you flash a new (base)rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik-cache, This means your old dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Go to Advanced
3. Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
5. Choose “Wipe /cache”
6. Reboot your phone
Note: by wiping “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the dalvik-cache
If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”
3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external sdcard)
When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:
1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
2. Choose “Wipe /data”
3. Choose “Wipe /cache”
4. Reboot your phone
If the rom still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the rom which isn’t working, contact the rom creator then and try an other rom for the meanwhile.

No is not, the cellphone starts normal, and while im using it nothing wear happens, but when i left it the screen goes black and the device reboot itselfs. But now im seeing that doesnt happen anymore, i dont know why.
Still with cyanogenmod rom, i connected the phone to charge the battery, and i saw a tendency of reboots and turnings off while the percentaje comes to 100% and a increasing overheat on the left-top of the phone, i suspect that the problem may be related with the amount of charge from battery and the overheating... Hardware problem?
Well... After all this time my cellphone went through the argentinean official service of samsung and the tech guy told me that he couldn't do anything on my device because he tried installing a lot of samsung official roms and the device was still malfunctioning. So he gave up on it, so i'd tooked it to another service (non official this time) and that guy told me that it may be a non official device, so he wouldnt do nothing on it, because i couldnt get the hardware that possible was malfunctioning. So here im now, with the all money spent for nothing.
My question is, what can i do to know if is or isnt an ORIGINAL samsung device? Knowing that i'll choose how to proceed. Txs!
