My SGS II is currently running on:
ROM: CheckROM RevoHD V4
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel: Dark Knight v2.5.2
Sometimes, the touch screen will no response to any touch. nothing happen no matter how hard i try to press the screen. but the buttons are all working fine.
the only way to get back to normal is i have to switch off the phone by taking out the battery, put it back and restart the phone. and i need to perform this a couple of time before the touch screen get back to normal.
any idea how to rectify this problem?
i already tried a different kernel but the problem still persist.
Sounds like you are having a SOD (Screen of death). Usually happens due to the CPU being overclocked or undervolted.
I would recommend checking with SetCPU or Voltage control apps if you are undervolted.
Another thing worth trying is to create a Nandroid backup of your ROM with CWM then trying to flash a different custom ROM (Hyperdroid, Villain or Foxhound Batista) to see if it persists.
You sometimes don't need to do a battery pull to reboot your phone. If you hold the power key for 10 seconds it will reboot from an SOD
PM me if you need any help
Go back to/reflash stock firmware & see if the problem persists. If it does, then it *might* be an issue with your screen/something else. If not, then it's clearly a rom/kernel issue.
Tq for your suggestion.
Before I flash a different ROM, how to reset the configuration of CPU?

Not sure what you mean by "reset the configuration of CPU" What exactly do you mean by that ?

What I meant was to ensure that the configuration is as per stock ROM.
Btw, I already flashed to the stock ROM, as suggested. Now, just wait and see.
Unfortunately, using the stock ROM, I lost the video feature of Google Talk. :-(

If you're running stock then you'll be unable to overclock/underclock, etc without root, so the CPU will run up to 1200mhz if that's what you mean ?
I've never used Google Talk (was one of the first things I froze when I rooted my phone), so I can't say how/why it doesn't work for you.
Re: whether you can reproduce the problems you were having with screen responsiveness, let us know after a day or so of running stock whether that issue has resolved itself. As mentioned previously, if not, then there's obviously something with your previous rom/kernel causing that. You could then ask the dev/users of either or both the rom or the kernel for advice about maybe fixing that problem when running same.

At first I was thinking of configuring the CPU as per stock ROM without flashing it.
But, on second thought, I think it's better to flash it to the stock ROM.
Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce the error. So, need to monitor it for a few days.
Will update you on the outcome.
Thanks!

Im using the latest siyah kernel 7.9 i believe with the latest aokp 4.2.1 rom, and everytime i try to select the performance profile my phone will freeze at some point while booting up. Ive also tried changing to the performance and the extreme performance profiles via Stweaks and when i do my phone freezes immediately afterwards. Ive tried all the usual trouble shooting stuff reinstalled the kernel wipe cache, dalvik etc, same results. Anyone else have this issue? Any advice for a solution would be appreciated. Thanks.

I haven't tried those profiles, but as they are high performance, perhaps they include over clocking? If so, have you run stable over clocked on that ROM previously? Of not, then that might be the issue. Or maybe your phone just doesn't like the governor/scheduler combo in that profile. I get lockups with Pegasus/sio all the time... never worked on my phone no matter what ROM or kernel.

re:
yea my phones always been stable overclocking up to 1400mhz on every rom i've tried. its once i get to 1500mhz is when my phone starts to freeze which is disappointing cuz my last sghi777 s2 was always stable up to 1600mhz. just interested in trying these profiles, still looking for a solution.

I'm going to start with the obvious, did you follow the instructions to reboot into recovery after flashing the kernel before rebooting into the rom and reset the profiles?? It is known to cause havoc with profiles if you don't reset them prior to the first boot. Secondly, any other performance control apps will interfere with stweaks, make sure you don't have aokp's performance control settings set up for set on boot. I personally had issues running siyah with aokp but others have not, for testing purposes you may try another rom temporarily.

yea i followed the directions of the op exactly, i think ive figured out what my problem is now. the max frequency in the performance profile setting is 1500mhz, and my device isnt stable at 1500mhz. although my device doesnt freeze instantly when set at 1500. I'm thinking that is probably part of the problem.

Hello,
I have flashed a few custom ROMs onto my x10i and each time it reaches the lock screen when it starts up it just seems to go into a reboot loop from kernel splash screen to lock screen again. Is there any fix for this ? I have tried using SEUS and restarting the whole process of flashing a kernel, rooting etc but it doesn't seem to work. it literately only happens when it reaches the lock screen. sometimes it lasts longer than that. Whenever I wipe the system it seems to work fine but as soon as a few things are running it starts to reboot again. The current ROM I'm running is PAC-man, with the kernel supplied along with it.
Could anyone help me ?
Thanks,
mmy4life
I have the same problem
use the phone until the battery become empty charge it in off mode up to 100 enter in xrecovery advanced options wipe battery stats and reboot
maybe you did an error when flashing or it runs wrong kernel. my suggestion : just use another ROM there are many nice ROM you can choose, and dont forget to follow step by step installation guide provide by developers.
Is the rom overclocked as this can can happen on some devices try and set the CPU to 998

That usually happens when the ROM is using overclocked CPU settings or an unstable CPU governor as default but it can also be defaulted inside the kernel. You simply flash another kernel and appropriate ROM.

Then it has to be a hardware problem. Try removing your SD card before booting it up.

I flashed 2.3 and it kept rebooting after a while, so i re flashed 2.1 and it is more stable but reboots if i open a app or anything that uses ram.
btw 1eyedmonster how do you set the CPU to 998?
I am also having ths reboot and crash issue... is there no fix for it? I have read about this reboot error at numerous sites. Must be a bug or summin man... or we dn summin wrong... and if it were hardwars related then to what hardware wd you be referring to? Is it a replaceable part? How easy wd such a task honestly be... i have 2.3.3 with 3.0.0.75 and no matter what it just wont stop dropping itself while i just start to appreciate it all over again... so im sure there have bn plenty issues regards this... so is there an answer?

hi,
i have the issue, did you fixe your phone ?

Hello,
For the past months I've been experiencing a lot of problems with my device: The device frozes or slow up with no apparent reason. It happens either when I'm in Whatsapp, or Facebook, or just listening music. It doesn't look to have any special app to behave like that. Locking and unlocking the screen becomes a pain and at some point after freezing it just turns off or reboot. Sometimes it just reboots even when I don't use it.
At the beginning I thought that the problems were related to the operator stock rom, then I jumped to Rootbox rom and nothing has changed. The phone keeps freezing and rebooting.
I've read that it might be related to a RAM issue, but I don't know if still have warranty so I'd like to check out everything else before taking it to a specialist.
Any idea or advice?
Fer
When you were on the 'operator stock ROM', was it rooted stock? My only idea is that it's possibly kernel related, ie unstable kernel. Try flashing full stock unrooted and see what happens? Else yes, probably hardware unfortunately

I had experimented this problems with Siyah on stock and The kernel that comes with rootbox (different pone).
i've noticed that battery life has been also greatly reduced.

Is it a genuine samsung battery?
Swap it and see how it goes.
Also, going stock to see if the device behaves funny would be wise, as hopper is trying to tell you there.

My wife's phone has the exact same problem. However I had recently returned her phone back to stock jelly bean. I downloaded the original software from sammobile for her carrier (Bell) and didn't expect to have any problems. I think I may try to swap out the battery.

Yeah, it appears to be a genuine Samsung battery.
However, I'll jump back to stock toda y and see how it goes. If that doesnt work I'll get a new battery. Finaly, if that doesnt work I might start thinking on a new phone :'( .

Can you please keep me updated. My samsung is already on stock. I flashed it using ODIN, using the official carrier firmware and the problems actually started after flashing it. My wife said her keyboard freezes as well. Sometimes the Samsung logo appears and then the phone shuts off, or she is forced to shut it off herself.
What ROM were you currently using?

This morning I reflashed to stock rom from my carrier, NO ROOT (stock kernel). So far I've had no problems. The phone runs smoothly and the battery life is okay. I have not experimented any of the problems like the ones listed above.
I'll keep informing along the week.
A factory reset + dalvik wipe combo would be wise.
Tho you need CWM or Mobile Odin to wipe dalvik.
PS: Root has got nothing to do with this.

excuse me, but root doesnt change the kernel to a kernel with custom recovery? I say this cuz now with stock kernel im not experimenting any issue, which I had with stock+siyah and rootbox ROM.
No, root gives you admin access to your device.
A custom kernel will give you CWM.
Of course the only way to keep it all stock with root is with Mobile Odin Pro EverRoot option, framaroot, ExynosAbuse and any one-click-root.

This has been doing my head in for quite some time, sometimes when I take a picture and flash/focus and then shoot it turns my phone off, to the point I can't turn it back on and I have to battery pull.
I thought it was a ROM related issue (at the time I was on Ultima ROM 4.2) so just recently I've upgrades to 4.3.2 KitKat and it does exactly the same. It's not an app issue although it does it far less in MX Camera then stock camera.
Does anybody know why? it's driving me crazy

I got this error in CWM after I tried flashing a KitKat ROM, I googled the error and found it's because my CWM is old and I need the updated version that's able to flash some KitKat ROMs but i wipe factory/data reset and when i reboot i just reboot into recovery
I figured i can just flash the .tar file from Odin and reboot into the new recovery and then flash the ROM but the .tar is nowhere to be found and i'm pretty out of practise with all the flashing ROMs business, I don't know what my alternatives are. I'm updating from 4.1.2 and that's only because the bug on this app is doing my head in (turns phone off sometimes when flash focus taking a picture, got to battery pull)
phone is stuck in recovery until some chap helps me out
phone is scaring me now lol, had trouble getting it into recovery then. i can see the brick light and its glowing

Yeah that's happening to me too, I'm on Imperium rom v31.0 (based on stock Samsung 4.3) with Boeffla 5.3 kernel.
I'll try figure out what's going on, it might be the battery getting old. If you can, try a newer battery.
EDIT: Problem seems to be fixed for me, setting max CPU clock to 1600mhz and GPU to 266/350/440/533/600 overvolting to +25mV through Boeffla-Config V2.
Hi all,
Before I have flashed the custom rom and would like to restore the stock rom now, but when I flashed the stock rom by odin(downloaded from sammobile.com), after boot up and test the call, camera, vibrate.. everything are ok, and then power off.
But in next day, I turned on the phone and want to test it again, it freeze and get very hot, then I try to flash with odin again, but when installing in the download mode(about 80%), it hangs and very hot, I need to take out the battery. I have tried three times, the result are the same, what can I do now?
Thanks.
Was it the latest stock firmware or an old one? Sounds like a hardware issue.
