I have a uk set gs2. The problem nw is it at times it automatically restarts. It happens maybe 2 times a day. Or less. But it bothers me. Wonder
What could have causes it? I have rooted it with kernel from chainfire. KE7. Installed rooted apps like adfree, density changer and market enabler. No task killer. Any help from this? Appreciate it. Thanks!
This was happening with me as well after i installed No Lock. Removed it and it never restarted since.
I have the same problem. My SGS2 reboots frequently, especially(mainly) when I am using the default music player.
I have a stock SGS2, no root or taskkiller.
I do have last.FM running also.
The reboots are really random and not related to the amount of free RAM (there is usually a lot).
Another thing i want to add is that the reboots are really quick, does not seem to occur like the normal (re)boot process.
I had the same problem. The music player shuts down after awhile. But the reboot was a quick one. I use screen off and lock. I didnt use no lock though
Yes! This happens to me aswell. I can recreate this using default music player. When I play my quick list it reboots...well the reboot takes like 5secs? Blazing fast but still it is an issue. I have stock ke7 too with cf's root kernel. I didn't stay on ke7 wothout root for a long time so can't know for sure if that's the problem.

Same here guys .With xwke7 something goes wrong with the stock music player.Very fast reboot.SAMMY?>?????
my reboot is probably even faster than 5 seconds...
when i listen to a podcast on the default music player it suddenly stops and instantly plays the tone it plays when the phone starts and when i unlock the screen everything is booted up already, so i dont know if it even is a real reboot or just some reinitialization or stuff... i gotta check if it happens with other mp3 players too.

I can't say that I know exactly what the difference is, but for me, I see the SIMM PIN entry screen, meaning that if a "reboot" goes unnoticed, my phone ain't a phone because it's off the network until I get my PIN entered.
I seem to have the same problem.
This has happened since the day I got it (original firmware KE1) and have also tried updating it too (KE7)
I have noticed this especially when the music player is running.
Another thing I have noticed is that if its in my pocket (with no force being applied to it) it happens more frequently than if I have it in my hand.
Yeah I have the same problem. But I only ever notice it when I'm running the stock music player.
I believe it happens when these happen at the same time:
1) the stock music player is being used
2) the phone is vertical (like in your pants or chest pocket) - this one I am the least sure about
3) there is a change in GSM/3G/4G signal, even if the phone is in airplane mode
sounds crazy, but these are the circumstances I get it under, at least two times in the day.
I only experienced one sudden reboot in 2 weeks. I'm on stock KE5, no root. It happened when i was switching off/on the screen and unlocking the phone too fast using WidgetLocker. The weird part was the reboot was blazing fast, the boot animation for a second or two and then phone went to main screen instantly.
Same story here, KE7, when playing music player it restarts randomly.
I have this firmware for 3 weeks and it just started doing this this week. Happened 2 times in the last 2 days and got me worried that.it is hardware related.
hi
i am having the same problem, only happened a couple of times like explained here, in music player it will randomly reboot. i am on ke7 with cf-root
i had one yesterday though, phone was on my desk not using it at all, only push email active, nothing else running and i just heard a sound from it, looked and it had gone into "Safe Mode" (said bottom left of the screen), also some of my widgets had disappeared and needing readding, and also pretty much everything from my folders in applications had jumped out and gone into the default applications pages (about 30 of them!)
anyone had this problem before?
it was posted in the KE7 release thread and confirmed to be an issue even with poweramp as well as the stock music player. I'm currently on KE2 without a single issue with the audio player and i had to revert back to KE2 from KE7 because of this issue

Ph00ny so you're not having this issue anymore?
Actually I loved my old sgsII (apart from screen which is why I replaced)
KE2 Was awesome. More wallpapers and etcs. I might do the same if the randon odd reboot stops.

As of today my music player is unusable. It stops/pauses music every couple of seconds now, I hope they will release new firmware soon :.
Here is one for you, after thorough tests I have come to conclusion, that random restarts are happening when using wired headset, phone does not restart when using loudspeaker or bluetooth headset...

yeah you are right, i have the pin security enabled too, so this cant be a full reboot, since i would have to re-enter the pin code ... so its probably just a restart of some component (touchwiz?)
and yes it did only happen when i used the stock music player in combination with a wired head set ... right now i use poweramp and did not have this problem anymore

Here is my question: When the phone rings I get my ring tone that I've customized along with a standard sounding ring (unwanted). The unwanted ring continues to ring and ring even after answering the phone. Is this a stupid setting I'm missing? Anyone run into this before? It is driving me crazy.
Phone Specs: Samsung Fascinate running CWM7 nightly 33. I'm pretty customized with GO Homescreen, GO Contacts, GO SMS, Audible, and Beyond Pod (I can't really think of any other apps that effect the audio).
Ideas?
Your Experiencing the phantom ring...i'm not on the nightly cm build but I am running the newest glitch kernel, the one with the audio fix and the new green recovery and I got a phantom ring that lasted throughout the call and it stopped when I hung up..it only happened once and hasn't happened again. So since i'm not on the nightly builds I don't know if its an issue that has come back, because it was fixed for a while. Like I said I did get 1 phantom ring and didn't even reboot or anything and it hasn't come back. I know its not a setting your missing...try a different kernel for cm7 or try an older build and see if the problem persists.

Thanks. I will down grade to a older nightly first.

I am running ICS on my SGS2 w/ the stock rom. I tried *#197382640# then going in menu [5] Audio does not work, i.e. when I go to the menu, it takes me back to the main menu automatically, as if it was disabled.
Does anyone have a good solution for having higher volume?
Thanks
First and foremost:
What was the last thing you did to your phone (even a week ago, or app install) BEFORE it started acting up?
What were the steps you took to do the change?
Have you done ANYTHING other than what you've started so far in getting the issue resolved?

The phone has always been that way.
I tried what I wrote in my post, but the audio menu is not accessible.
Unsure if this a problem caused by CM 10.1 or android 4.2.2 but using both jellybam and paranoidkangdroid I am unable to put the screen to sleep, the hardware button still works for shutting down just not turning off screen. I also have a hard time getting music to play, requires reboots and shutting down of apollo app, unsure of which of these actually does the trick or if its just luck.
Part of the symtoms include a flashing black screen, what it looks like is a black overlay with part of the status bar still visible. As well as rare random reboots.
Does anyone know if this a problem with the i717 and the most up to date roms or something else.
Help much appreciated thanks.
The only issue I can comment on is Apollo. Mine you have to select the music you want or hit play, wait, hit back when the app freezes and then wait for the pop up saying "Apollo has stopped working". Press Ok and go back into the app and hit play or the song you chose again to get it working. After that the app works amazing! I think it actually is a common problem on 4.2.2 but can't say for sure. The rest, I don't really know what to suggest. Sorry
Best of luck to you

I'm getting this same issue in JellyBAM, PAkangdroid, and CM10.1 M-release (2013-04-11 latest). Re-flashing the ROM in recovery seems to fix it for a while, but I still haven't been able to narrow down a root cause yet.
Hey Everyone,
So got my c6833 a couple days ago. Everything was fine until i updated it.
So here is the issue. When i get notifications or phone calls the audio comes out of my top ear piece instead of the bottom loud speaker.
And to point out i do not have any custom roms or apps. Stock everything.
Anyone else having this issue as well???
Yes I got this problem too.

I have this issue too. Reboot fixes it have not found another fix. Don't know what causes it either. Seems random.
Lots of problems after updating to Kit Kat

Same Same here...:crying::crying::crying:
Battery not charging .......:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Very Bad Battery Back up....:crying::crying::crying:
Sound from the earpice insted of Speaker.....:crying::crying::crying::crying:
PC Companion Freezes.....:crying::crying::crying::crying:
And sony says : Please take your phone to a repair center for evaluation....
This is my first Sony .... They should come up with a fix really soon.......
The sound problem do comes and goes away.....But very low sound , specially when phone is connected to the charger.....
there has been a fix from Z1 forum:
1. Open Settings->Sound->Volumes
2. Slide the second slider all the way to the right
3. While the Volume slider dialog still open and the sound preview still playing, retract the Notification Bar from top to bottom (as if you are going to check any notification/toggling a quick toggle button)
4. The Playback sound will go to the main speaker, after that, restart the phone
6. If the problem persist, please uninstall updates on chrome and Smart Connect, then restart again
7. After restarting, please reinstall Chrome and Smart Connect update again.
Same sound problems
I have the same sound problems since the KitKat update. Sound goes in and out/sound gets very low randomly. Actually, the sound comes from the ear piece speaker at times when it should come from the regular bottom loud speaker. I can't hear the phone ringing if the sound is coming from the ear piece speaker! I have missed lots of phone calls because of this. It is very frustrating. A reboot will fix it for a very short time. The same with disabling/uninstalling updates for Smart Connect & Chrome. The fix never lasts. I can't believe that there is no real fix for this.

I have a problem with the stock camera on the 6833 after Kitkat upgrade... Freezes up and doesn't take pics... Very frustrating... Anyone else experiencing this? Honestly this update has been far more trouble than its been worth... Battery drain has also been worse...

So after a long pain the ass glitch of audio not working right. The update came and it fixed that....... Now my camera doesnt respond aswell too. Also using camera in snapchat and instagram lags or just crashed.
I know how you feel man. Ive only had the phone for 2 weeks roughly now and kinda disappointed with it because of these issues, the couple day i had it before i updated it with kit kat it was awesome.
