[Q] Keyboard freeze - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First post!
So I've already tried the custom search on google with XDA and I could find no similar problems so I am posting this question. I have a galaxy s2 and I've recently started having this keyboard problem with my phone. I will be typing on the internet or sending a text message and then my keyboard randomly freezes. When it freezes, as you may guess, I can't write anymore. This problem can fix itself from a time span of 1 minute to never, in which case I have to restart the phone. Not sure why this is happening :/.. Many thanks

All you can do is backup data and factory restore .

Freeze and reboot!!

Ok. Problems I have encountered the 2 days I have used the phone:
Constant freeze. The first hour I used the phone it froze and rebooted 7 or 8 times.
Missing SocialLocation.apk. This caused a problem for the GPS in smart actions to work at all. Rooted phone and installed the app, and problem disappeared.
Tried to hard reset the phone because of all the rebooting problems. Guess what, on the first menu coming up where you can choose language, the phone froze and rebooted again. Now still it is constantly freezing and rebooting.
The freezing issues does not really have one specific app causing it. It can happen whenever doing whatever!
Anyone got a solution for this? Maybe a OTA update for Norwegian model?
Well, as my dad's phone is still fine as of now with not a single reboot in 2 days, I'd suggest you get in contact with your carrier and ask for a replacement. This seems to be a phone defect and you should be able to get your replacement easily. Be sure to not mention rooting and installing SocialLocation.apk though!!
You rooted and removed some files from the System, did you not?

[Q] Help with whatsapp problems?

Hey guys,
Been having some trouble with Whatsapp on my phone for a while now, I have a problem where no matter what I do, I can't complete my profile to actually USE whatsapp.
I've had Whatsapp on this same phone, uninstalled it about 6 months ago, and I've just gotten a new number in the past week so I thought I'd try and set up Whatsapp with my new number.
Installed fine, verified fine, the problem is that every time I get to the Profile Info screen that I can not skip, I can either only EVER do one of three things:
A) Try and upload a photo and have it close after three seconds
B) Press next and watch it say "Initializing.." then close after three seconds
C) Sit there pointlessly forever on the Profile Info screen and have it not crash
While it's not too much of a bother that it's not working, (seeing as I don't have any like, saved messages or anything) I would still like to be able to use Whatsapp if anyone knows how to fix this problem
Alright, now my phone, it's a Vodafone 845 (Yeahhhh I know I need a new phone) and I'm running the Fresh Zodiac Fruit custom ROM
Happened to me too once when I was messing with my phone and dirty flashed to a new rom. When I restored my old ROM, it wouldn't let me log into whatsapp and freeze at the initializing screen. I don't have a solution but my situation was fixed by factory resetting my phone (wipe cache/dalvik/system/so forth), installing a new version of the rom, verifying that whatsapp worked and then restoring my apps with titanium backup. Good luck to you.
i have the same problem, stuck on initializing.
phone: i9100 sgs2

[Q] Galaxy S3 I9300 - started freezing randomly but screen plays animation

Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!

[Q] Galaxy S3 Freezing problem!

Hello,
I have very bad problem. My Galaxy S3 was working very good, but about a month ago it started freezing randomly!!! , when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have the international model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about a month ago, when google play started updating that iron man game. I tried all solutions provided in these forums, including using dummy file generator, factory reset and even changing roms. Nothing helped. When using dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 1-2 days, but it STILL FREEZES, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone.
If you know somehing, help me!

phone, message and calender closes after 5 seconds

Hi, I don't know if anyone has come across this before, I can't find any relevant threads.
When I open the phone, message or calender app, they automatically close after 5 to 10 seconds with no message. I havereset the phone to as it was when it left the factory for them to work again.... Then after a few weeks it happens again. I have not installed any new apps so don't know how to solve.
Vodafone say send the phone for repair but they will reset it first which will cure the problem. It must be software related!
Thanks
Chris
