I've had this problem for a while even on the original firmware. I'm hoping some whizz in the XDA forums can shed some light on it ?
Randomly, my phone won't wake up AT ALL. It's still running, but the screen just won't come on.
I'm currently on the Litening v1.1 rom, but I think that's inconsequential.
The only fix is to take the battery out and replace it and then it boots fine.
I decided to delve a little deeper. I installed an sshd service so I could attempt to ssh in if it happened again, which it just has. I ssh'ed in and managed to get the log file (that I've attached to this message).
I also got a couple of screenshots showing that the system monitor service had failed and that when the phone was rebooted, something had really drained the battery.
I also took a screenshot of what had consumed the most cpu while the phone was in the sleep of death......
Also attached to this post is the log taken AFTER the problem had happened, and it seems to show me pushing some keys to wake the beast up, but no joy.
Any help gratefully received !!!
Thanks in advance !

I have the same problem but i haven't been nearly as thorough in my investigation because I only got my GS2 2 days ago. It's happened at least 10 times since then. I've been searching forums and this is the first post I've found that seems to be the same problem. Can anyone help?

Umm,,try this..
It may be due to some kinda App..try uninstalling the apps which u installed or used just before this problem occured..
It happened with me too,,just one time though,,,when i installed an app(Night Vision..or something ),,,,i guess it causes some kind of sensor malfunction,,,,
I removed the battery,,,then reinstalled it,,,switched on the phone,,deleted the app,,,Ran an Antivirus(AVG,,,not a good one),,,and it showed me some kinda "suspicious message" warning,,,i pushed the fix button,,,and thats it,,,,
No problems so far..*fingers crossed*...hope it helps.
Thanks, I'm pretty sure it's an isolated problem and I've just been very unlucky.
Phones4U are replacing the handset.
My phone has not woken up out of sleep since about 24 hours ago. It's not shutting down, it's just not re-enableing the display or touchscreen after being in sleep mode.
I have tried a factory reset but that didn't help.
Just in case anyone has the same fault, there is no fix. Send it back.
My phone doesn't wake up sometimes. This morning it happened again and I had to take the battery out and put it back in. It's annoying but the only problem I have experienced thus far.
Update from me.........
I haven't had this issue for a long time now. I am now running litepro 1.5. I also disabled fast dormancy or whatever it's called so not sure which of the above fixed it.
But, what is strange is the problem originally occurred on the stock rom (orange) and a litepro rom ?!?!
But, litepro 1.5 seems to have solved the issue for me.
Now, reluctant to try a new rom, as it's a pain of a problem when it occurs. Hope others find a solution that works for them.

About 3 months ago , my bluetooth started to become increasingly difficult to turn on , and when it would turn on , it wouldn't connect with either my headset or truck. I have posted this question in various other Galaxy s2 forums , had numerous chat sessions with Samsung , performed both a soft , and a factory re set , and still the problem persists. Some days it will turn on right away , then connect to a device , other days it takes up to 30 minutes to turn on , and still other days it won't turn on at all. On the days that it does turn on , it usually will disconnect within 5 minutes , and then won't turn back on again. I rely on this feature heavily , and no one can seem to figure out what the problem is . I have taken it to someone local who performed a diagnostic check on it and all he could tell me is that it either the board , or antenna. I have also just upgraded to ICS , no help there either. Thanks in advance for your help
Warranty still good? Tell them to give you a new device.
If it's the antenna, it's a faulty device; If it's the mobo, it's a faulty device.

out of warranty
Flash away then, get the ROMs at sammobile.com
Ok , i knew i was out of my league here ! I don't know what flashing is( at least the kind we are talking about here ! ) , and i don't know what a ROM is. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how long it took me to do the factory re set ! Does sammobile have instructions for the tech challenged ? i can't even read the damn spam code , I am on my 7th attempt to reply. Maybe I will go back to my flip phone
You can read the guides posted around the forum or you can get started by getting Mobile odin app, of course you'll need root to use it.

I have had this issue using Energy and ARHD. Tried different batteries and kernels, new batteries helped a bit. Tried several clean installs without resolution. Please let me know if you found a solution.
You've probably managed to somehow burn/damage your motherboard. Happened to my deisre a few weeks ago. Fetched a good price for outdated burnt phone
Hi Everyone!
This is my first post on the board, so at begin I wanna say that topics here are very helpful. Always when I've had a problem I could to find answer somewhere here. However, today I can't.
Some time ago my friend have bought a tablet Moonse N730 on CPU Allwinner A10.Sorry, I can't give you a link. Everything was ok, to the first battery discharge. After charging, she wanted to switch on the tablet. Screen lights up, but after few seconds device get frozen. My first thought was - factory reset will help. Unfortunately, there appeared the first problem. Chinese language in recovery mode. Somehow, someway I've done the reset after several attempts. But it doesn't fix problem. I mean device worked ok to the next discharged and then same story again.
My conclusion is - it need a new OS.
I've been tried few Android versions already, but always something wasn't good. Ones camera didn't work. Second time - touch screen. Right now when you trying turn camera on device is rebooting.
I have found on forum few topics from the past (2 years ago) but there was nothing useful.
If anyone can help me I'll appreciate it. Thanks.
P.S. Sorry about my poor English
