Well, my galaxy s2 is hanging calls, after I've flashed a official Samsung ROM. The calls hang after 30 seconds or less, sometimes it lasts more, but always hangs. The phone was with MIUI when I got it, but I don't like this ROM, so I'vs flashed an official ROM for my country, and then updated with KIES to ICS, and the problem started. I've tryed flashing CM7, CM9 and get back to MIUI, but the problem persists. Any idea of what can I do to solve this? Could it be a modem issue?
Sorry for the bad english
I observe two points
1. WRONG SECTION!!
2. Call hangs probably of two reason one is software or a buggy power key. U told u flashed CM series but still problem persists means u must hav device wit buggy key.. Is the key working properly??
3. Sometimes The signal drops also cause call hangup.. So try different modem. Is it a network locked phone?

Hmm interesting.. Check the golden contact points of the sim card and try removing the External SD if any.
My friend had a similar issue and the Android OS was freezing just because of the External SD card which was over heating. Later we found that the SD card was faulty and removing it fixed the problem.

The phone is already without SDCARD, maybe that's the problem!
I'll try to make call with the SD card, maybe the phone is missing the SD, who knows?

Maybe this is a silly question but, did you try calling from different places? I mean, it happens to my girlfriend, but only when she's calling from here home. She has great signal, but the calls hangs, just like you described, at first it becomes mute, and then the call drops. But if she calls from anywhere else the problem is gone, even with worst signal.

Yeah, I always wipe data and cache after a flash. I've tryed 2 SIM from different operators, same issue...
I've just flashed a stock ROM, and it doesn't seem to be better...
I've tryed some different SIM's today, from another operator (ClaroBR), and the calls haven't droped, but with mine, and other SIM's from other operators, the problem persisted. Any idea? Should it be a base band issue?
Well after all this, I'll say flash a GB Rom from your region using Odin, after full wipe and see what happens. Do not sign in, do not restore any accounts and apps.

I was thinking, a ROM flash could damage a hardware? Because when this problem started, I've changed the ROM again, to CM9 to see if the problem stops. The first flash could've damaged anything?

So yesterday i bought a vibrant on craigslist (stupid) checked it out for a while and everything worked perfect.... after paying and going our ways i went to make a call but it just said dialing for about a minute then hung up, then i went to send a txt and the sending failed. It says it has a full signal and it says 3g/edge (internet wont work either). i found if i restart the phone or turn airplane mode on/off i can place a call or send a txt or two before it starts failing again.
Its on 2.1update1, baseband t959uvjfd, kernel 2.6.29.... Any ideas on how to fix or am i screwed???
Well, that's a stock rom so either he never flashed anything or reverted back to the stock rom when he started having problems. I don't have any definate answers, but all I can suggest is to try flashing a new modem and/or rom and see if that fixes it. Realistically you're not under warranty, so you've got nothing to lose.
The sticky at the top of this thread can help direct you on how to do it.
Okay ill try a new rom and see if that helps. Any suggestions on a good one? also when i hit check for an update it says no firmware dont know if that helps anything or not.

Nope, there's no official updates past what you're running. I personally use Eugene373's Ginger Clone R2. Runs very smooth. Everything's about personal preference though
I suggest using odin to see if it fixes the problem.

Hmm.... so i was playing around with settings and it seems that when i put it to gsm only network mode everything works its just on edge... its been 15 min so far and its still working. If i switch it back to use both or wcdma only it stops working again. Any thoughts?
Been a couple days and ive tried a couple different roms/modems and it will still only work in gsm only mode. Any thoughts or does it sound like a hardware problem?
I've had this problem when there is a network outage. Did you ever have good 3g in your area?
The weirdest thing is when I'm traveling, and 3g drops off, it auto switches to gsm no problem. If I'm at home and there is a 3g network issue it will not auto switch, but I switch to gsm only and edge works fine.
I've had that issue on two vibrants now. And luckily, it can be fixed but you need to odin to fix it.
First, make a back up of your efs partition (using a computer is easiest, adb pull /efs). This will make a backup of the files needed to do any future unlocking.
Next, odin to jfd. With reparation checked as well as "clear phone efs". Then, you won't have that issue (at least for quite a while).
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
Follow this exactly to get back to stock 2.1, this will reset your baseband, kernel, modem and you'll have a functioning phone:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Then you can root your phone and download a new rom!
No theres no outage my hd2 gets 3g perfectly fine... and i tried to odin jfd and all that but still only works when on edge only...

/efs is your radio control partition. And every once in a while, stuff gets messed up there and you need to clear (reset) it using odin. The only thing is, if you don't make a backup of it, you'll lose your unlock code.
"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
You have the correct plan on this line? Long shot but might help. Regardless of warranty I would flash it to bone stock and call t mobile and see what they can do. Maybe they can boost the signal or send a new sim. Could be that simple.

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile Vibrant running CM7 stable. When I try to switch on the WiFi radio, it pauses for a moment, then just writes "error".
This also happened with the stock t-mobile ROM so it's not a CM issue.
Any ideas on what may be the problem? Do you think the actual hardware may be broken?
Cheers.
Reboot?
If that doesn't fix it then reflash

This happens on mine too. Wifi will take up to 30 seconds to turn on and then fail with Error. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times for it to work.
I also have messages (texts) that fail to send with full bars. Completely stock btw.

for you, sounds like you need to do an efs clear using odin. First, make a backup of your /efs contents (this will allow you to unlock your phone later and keep you IMEI). Then, odin to whatever build you want, but make sure you select the box "clear efs data". this should fix that.
As for the op, sounds like a hardware issue. You can try the clear efs data, but i doubt that will help. i'd suggest a warranty exchange.
Ive yet to do any rom flashing, ironically to prevent things like this from happening. I figure that an obvious problem such as consistant wifi failure would have been caught in Bell/Samsung testing. Would you stil recommend a reflash? Ive been on the latest froyo update ever since it came out. Maybe the upcoming gb will fix it.

i had 3 vibrants (tmo-us) that had faulty modems. it got to the point where i couldn't get anything from calls to texts (i don't have a data plan) until i restarted my phone, it would get stuck in between airplane mode on and off, and even after reboot i had usable signal for 3 minutes. it's part of hardware failure, and the best thing to do is use your warranty to get it fixed for free right now.
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.
No vendor warranty I'm afraid -- I got the device off ebay (I knew about the issue, but thought it might be software-related).
Is this something I could get fix in a lab, you think? Or only by Samsung?

So... I have FJ Mod on my note. Things have been running great for a long time. Then a few days a go, out of the blue, google voice was constantly crashing. Then the gapps process. Then it got ridiculous and everything would crash. Then I noticed that when I restart, it saves nothing that I had done. For instance, my call log, text messages, moved icons on my homepage.
I did a wipe in CWM, and everything came back the exact same. Still the same problem, icons still in the wrong place... no idea whats going on.
Has anyone got any advice for me? I was going to try and put a new ROM on later if worse comes to worse, but as is, this is very frustrating. I often have to restart my phone just to use the browser, or message, or anything really. I am just hoping that my internal SD isn't screwed some how and now allowing me to write to it. I haven't done any changes. I don't even believe I have downloaded any apps since a week or so prior to this issue.
Flashing with ODIN did not good either. I tried to revert back to stock. It uploaded with no issues apparently, and then when it rebooted I was back in ICS with everything as it was... argh.
Find one of the the ics leaka one click Odin packages and run that. Should wipe everything, and then you just have to flash cwm and root again.

I had the EXACT problem, out of the blue as well. I didn't have the other stated problems in your OP but I did have the one quoted above. First voice , then a few google apps(gmail, drive, etc). The apps would hang for a few 1-2 minutes (felt like hours) and the phone including capacitive buttons became unresponsive and couldn't do anything with the phone. The "wait" or "ok" buttons on the force close popup were not clickable.. It sorted itself out in a few days and boy did it drive me NUTS.

LOL I actually waited a few days before posting here too. I was hoping that maybe uninstalling and reinstalling some, or updated, or clearing cache and all that would help. As you can see, it did nothing. Heck, after I restart my updates didnt even stick and Google Play is trying to download them again!
Well... still no luck.
Here is another thing I noticed. When I hook up the note to my PC, and look at it, I cannot access my external SD. Furthermore, I had a file on my internal SD that I deleted. When I restarted my phone the file was back. Yet in windows it removed without error. I have no idea what is happening at all.
And now its reading it again........ Ive literally been sitting here trying a bunch of different ways to fix this. Playing around in CWM, trying ODIN including a couple 1 click solutions. The one starts writing to NAND, then stops and gives me an error.
Try taking out your sd card and running it for a while. First note i got was acting that way from the get go. Took it back and got a new one. It started doing the same thing. Finally took out sd card and ran great. Card was going bad. I had replaced the 8 gb stock card with the 16 gb one i had in another phone and apparently the mote didn't like it.

Did you, by any chance, install a custom kernal? IIRC, one of them messed with the mount points. By far, the only way to fix your issue immediately will involve restoring to stock through ODIN, then rerooting and reflashing CWM. This will 100% mark your Note as either defective, or prove that it's a problem in another area. However, I don't believe your problem is with your SD Card, unless you've been using an app like apps2sd.
If you're weary about doing this, try to reflash CWM, or TWRP to figure out if it's something going on with the recovery partition and/or settings. I'm no expert, but the only thing I'm aware of that sticks around through a wipe, and multiple flashes are our recovery, our internal SD files (possible), and sometimes the modem. Also, the one click leaks include a not loader, which could prevent you from restoring a GB Nandroid.
By flashing CWM, then TWRP, then CWM again, or sticking with TWRP, you at least knock out one variable...and by reformatting your internal SD, you ensure no resources are sticking around.
Edit:are you using TiBu to backup and restore/migrate after a flash? Verify your backups under the batch lost.
What could be happening, is you're restoring data in CWM, or TiBu, or w/e ap you're using, and then the Google account sync restore is restoring your settings, and replacing the desired ones, or vice versa.
Edit again: Which launcher are you using? Which utilities do you use? What are your main root apps?
The backup verify is a must...but some launchers will scoot icons out of the way. If you're having a touch screen issue, or an S Pen issue, you could be draggn items around when you're not aware of it.
I'll see this through. You've caught my interest.

Also, tap USB utilities in settings, by the other FJ mods, and tap the selection there, then check to see if you can find your SD card through your PC.
In addition to the above, you can also enter the "Tools" section of FJmods, and disable ad blocking, remove touchwiz UI, s voice, etcetera, and return ALL settings too default, and remove all extras. You can reflash recovery there too.

I had installed a custom kernel on Gingerbread before, but obviously that was replaced with the one I used with FJmod. It had been operating fine for over a month.
Also, I removed my SD Card, and tried everything without it. I have tried restoring gingerbread stock and ICS stock through both ODIN and CWM. Even formatting through CWM does nothing as when I restart I am back to normal.
As for root, I only had 2-3 programs with access. ES File Manager/Task manager, and I tried one called Lucky Patcher (I will verify this evening). All of these had been on for at least a week prior to all this beginning.
I havent been using TiBu for anything at all actually.
The launcher I am using at the moment is Nova.
Other than that, I am going to try a few of your suggestions once I am done work. I will post my results tonight!
Thanks for the suggestions and info, greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Just to be clear. I am formatting then restarting and all my apps, icon placements and wallpaper return. Even my call history is stuck up to the 13th and erases recent calls. I am also trying to revert to stock ICS and Gingerbread through both ODIN and CWM. After it is done installing through ODIN and reboots, I return to the way my phone was before. Same with CWM. After flashing through CWM I return right back to the way it was. I am not doing any restoring or anything. I have done this plenty of times in the past before. The only thing I can possibly imagine at this point is that my SD is somehow stuck on read only. Yet it is weird because again, I can delete files and apps (and even windows shows them as gone), but after a restart they are all back! I can remove apps, but they are still in the app menu too.... I can even run them lol (even after deleting their folder). The phone is stuck in stasis.
All of this just happened one day out of the blue. No new apps (for at least a week) too.
I have a GTab that had the EXACT same symptoms.. turns out it's internal flash memory was bad, not the microSD. going for broke I opened it up and desoldered the flash memory IC and it uses the microSD now as its primary storage. If even after a stock reflash you have problems I hope you have warranty.

Rogers said they won't help. They used the word "launcher" but I knew what he meant. They think I may have overclocked it any burnt it out I bet. Maybe I will try calling samsung.
Thing is, all my private info is on there! At least no private pics though

If your have insurance, and it turns out the phone was physically damaged , you could try making a claim....but that's only if it was physically damaged. So you restored stock through odin? Did this happen on the stock unrooted rom?

Well its currently stuck on FJ Mod (which I think is a great rom), and then it just started acting up. I cannot restore Gingerbread stock, or ICS stock, or anything else. ODIN and CWM both show completed on my attempts, but upon reboot my device is back exactly where it left off on the 13th.
I picked up the S3 and I like it, but I miss my note badly
i am facing a strange touchscreen issue for over 2 months, my screen keeps on auto touching itself, & the strange thing about it is that it only happens whenever mobile packet data connection is on, if it is off, every thing works fine,& one more thing which is more strange is that there is one sim card with which everything works fine, no problem at all, if i put any other sim besides that sim card, it comes back again,,,,,any ideas about it,,& what i am really confused about is that is it hardware or software issue, because if it was hardware issue, it was supposed to do the same thing all the time, why is that one SIM working fine while others are not????
Have you formatted phone?

you should consider claiming hardware warranty. No point in wasting time. Get it replaced, or in case warranty expired, get it repaired.

I was just thinking about it, still under warranty but this thing is rooted..
Well you could take a chance by locking your bootloader, running a RUU to back to stock and using this method to changed the "RELOCKED" status in the bootloader to "LOCKED"

This method you linked to is not permanent, just temporary... if you you reboot the device, it will be relocked again. At least that's what I understood...
That's too bad.
@RishiChhikkara Have you tried running an RUU? Perhaps your radio is faulty which an RUU could fix.

RUU's are for ICS only, Where I can Find One For JB?
Could it be Kernel related ?. Also I seemed to get it less on Certian Roms but alot more on ICS Roms

Hi,
I had the same problem. Started when I put a new sim in my phone. I tried all means to figure out the problem.
Finally gave up.
The connection b/w sim and display is still a mystery.

So last night I updated twrp to 2.6.3.0. After updating, I flashed carbons latest rom. Everything went smoothly until it booted. Once it booted up, I noticed I did not have any signal. So I went back into twrp and restored my beans 22 rom. Booted back up and still no service. When I go to the mobile network in settings and try to switch it to lte/cdma, it just searches for lte signal for a few minutes and then a pop up that tells me to switch to global mode pops up. Any ideas on whats going on???
Oh..I also noticed that my bluetooth wont turn on on my phone as well.

You flashed Carbon for another carrier (T-mobile or AT&T), which changed your baseband radio and now you can't access the Verizon network. Odin back to bone stock and you should be good.
Lessons of the day:
1. ALWAYS verify what you downloaded and are about to flash before swiping "do it" in twrp
2. ALWAYS make a nandroid before flashing anything, including mods
The carbon I downloaded was for my phone. I'm gonna try to go back to stock and see if it helps. Thanks everyone for the help!!

I also had a similar problem. it was only my lte though. 3g worked. My sim was faulty. Try someone elses sim card in your phone.

I would go with the other guy and say odin back to stock. At least this way you can be sure all your software is as it would be when you take the phone out of the box for the first time. Look into hardware problems from there.

take your sim out and see if the problem with the screen goes away. I don't see why they would be related, but stranger things have happened.

Yeah probably;. try taking out the sd card as well. if that isn't it, it might be time to think about getting a new phone lol. You are probably still under factory warranty.
It's not the sim or the sdcard.... It's the files which are missing and causing trouble
