Hey guys, so I just updated my att galaxy s2 via kies to android ICS however after that I've ran into some problems.
After updating however I encountered a period where the screen went black and the phone kinda just died on me. After restarting I began to encounter some problems. For some reason, whenever the phone goes to sleep and and then wakes up, my screen gets flipped upside down and the screen gets really bright. Despite that, I still have to press the screen like usual. Which means that if the call button is at the top after flipping, I still have to press the bottom of my screen. Also the screen isn't perfectly flipped and there is space above the top bar.
However, the phone does work fine on bootup, and only fails after it sleeps. Also, very recently my phone just went through a screen repair after the screen cracked under the glass, but otherwise that I have no clue what's going on.
Is this just a poor repair and a hardware problem or is their another problem here?
Also I've tried a factory reset and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help you can give.
(Hopefully I got the right board)

considering this board is all about CUSTOMIZING devices... I dunno about that. Maybe try the AT&T site?
Maybe one of our divas will be kind enough to help anyway.
Yes, I mean divas, also referred to around here as devs. I <3 u all!

Yeah I kinda got that gist =P
but, after searching through the web, there weren't really a lot of sites that I came across detailing about my problem, but this was one of the sites that came up a lot so I was just hoping if anybody, just anybody could help me out with this.

There are alot of things that could go wrong when flashing ROMs.
All of the custom ROMs here have built in safeguards which allow users to recover from issues involved with flashing. The same cannot be said about stock builds.
Unfortunately, your options are limited if you're going to stay stock. You can either try a factory reset and re-installing the update via KIES or you can call AT&T. That's pretty much it.
Personally, i'd Mobile Odin a rooted package with CWM and start flashing some of the wonderful work the developers have graciously allowed us to partake.

OP, I agree with the sentiment here, but you can't use mobile odin until your are already rooted. One option you could follow the guide linked in my signature to root the phone and go from there.
My personal suggest is that if you're running stock ROM, updating an official stock ROM and having problem, I call the provider for help.
My download and install went fine but I incounterd some unusual problems afterwards. My phone doesn't always keep a data signal while browsing the internet and a phone reboot makes it return. Setting browsers home to Google instead of default AT&T doesn't stick. I also had few dropped calls and very low signal bars in status bar at my house which gingerbread gave me full ones.
same here

I just got my screen replaced and have the exact same problem, factory reset did not help either.
Did you managed to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi everyone, hope you can help me beacause im at my witts end.
In the last year, my galaxy s2's screen has occasionally stopped responding, the os was still running and everything so it wasnt frozen, my touch screen just simply stopped working. Only way to fix it was to hit the back of the phone and do a battery reset. This issue started poping up more and more, and now it won't respond.
Some info you might want to know:
Model: GT-I9100M
Age:~2 1/2 years old
No custom roms/kernels have ever been installed, has always run off the stock.
Never been dropped or had water on it (I took very good care of it)
The nav bar at the bottom (back/search/options/menue) and hardware buttons all work. Everything above the screen no longer works.
What iv done:
Iv reset the phone, did a bettery pull for the night, fully charged it, looked at the board and checked all the connections (all good). Would flashing a custom rom/kernel be something to try next? I read in a forum that someone had a similar issue to me and did that, but it didnt help.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their touchscreen? Why would the bottom nav bar work but no the rest of the screen? Could it be locked somehow? If it is.. how would I unlock it?
Thanks alot guys..

Hello there. 3 days ago i bought used Galaxy S2. Everything was good untill now. Ive got an sms message and i wanted to check it soni unlocked my screen and suddenly my screen went crazy. It starts to "touch himself"(that sounds bad) and i couldn't do anything. Only locking and unlocking the screen was a solution. Now it happens even more often. I reinstalled android already, wiped data and cache and still nothing. Probably the solution is to change digitalizer or something but i just want to know: What is causing this issue? Thanks for any helpful ideas and tips. Cheers
ever since my brother replaced his Samsugn GSIII T-mobile screen panel it started over heating at the bottom of the screen. we did everything, hard reset or every thing and still it over heats. even it is very hard to use it; even 5 minutes it becomes too hot to be even touched plz help me any working help will be greatly admired
thanks
Greetings,
which Apps are installed?
A while ago I found a Galaxy Mega in the trash when I was out with family and took it home. Upon further inspection I found that the inside panels of the touchscreen were broken and nothing was visible.
Forward to the end of last month and I finally got a replacement screen for it in the mail and gave the phone and the replacement screen to a friend of mine that works in fixing phones and such.
When he replaced the screen, he told me that the touch inputs worked fine, however, after I told him to factory reset it since I didn't want to go through the previous' owners information and the data was wiped, the screen didn't respond at all to touch. We have tried soft reset, updating and what not [with the help of a smartphone mouse] and we really don't know what to do since I can't get a refund for the screen -_-
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Have you tried Flashing the stock ROM?
