[Q] Screen off but won't wake, Why? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello SGS2 users! Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I was originally running VK 5.1.2 without a problem then I flashed RR 2.5.3; didn't really like the theme then I came across PFittech ROM GTX which I thought "Wow!".
After flashing, I noticed that when the screen went off and locked, it won't wake and I need to pull battery and reboot.
As you may know that is extremely inconvenient so I flashed stock rom and went back to VK 5.1.2 but this hasn't stopped the problem
I have done all the wipes (cache, dalvik, factory/data and format system!

Ur having SOD, sleep of death... when ur phone enters deepsleep it wont get up.
this is frequently related with UV, or poor bus freq.
u should flash a kernel cleaner like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
or any other. then u have to flash a new kernal.

Thanks mate! Will try this now

Still there
Firstly, I flashed stock firmware, then I flashed cf-root. Went into recovery and done a full wipe and flashed the script.
I done another wipe then installed VK Rom (I have never had a problem with this) and left the phone for 30 secs on screen off and it came back.
What should I do next?
Should I check all settings for CPU and GPU? Revert them to standard? I don't touch those settings as I don't have a great knowledge of changing volts and clock speeds.

Maybe you could let it on stock (unrooted) and see if it happens again...

You can just wipe data, dalvic and cache and try salmanrom its the best I promise, you will never go back to another aokp rom!

I flashed the stock LPB firmware and used it for a full day and I never experience any SoD. Tried a few custom roms and still having the error.
Although there may seem there is nothing wrong with the phone, I have never had a problem with any roms I use. All the roms I am trying are previous downloads that have worked successfully so I doubt there is any corruption.
I won't be giving up and I will be trying everything and anything... the now I am going to try Gingerbread based roms and see if I still get the error. If anyone else has any more ideas please tell me.

Can i suggest u to use rootbox ics?? Is almost flawless and i thinkbu wont have any problem
If u still getting sod u could try giving a little more voltage to ur cpu or bus...if u use fluxi with this rom is very easy to do that

Im a first time root user i flashed RR 2.5.3 with fluxi kernel over my stock ics its running very smoth and had no problem so far
You might need to check your cpu frequency i read her that if it was set to less than 200Mhz you might have the sleep of death issue

I have tried RR 2.5.3 and had no problems in the past but now it is also giving me the SoD. Only on stock firmware I don't get it and I don't touch the cpu freq but I will take a look on the clock freqs.

Thats is pretty wierd...had u made a full wipe installation??? No one had any issue like that
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I always do a full wipe but today I've seen something unusual.
Kernel Panic Upload Mode came up when the phone was off?
I am flashing back to GB and see if any SoD appear.

Mate, there is something wierd with ur phone...

There sure is.. I am running KI3 GB with CF Root and not received any SoD. Seems to be only on custom roms?

Good news! I fixed it!
What I did:
First of all, I had an extended battery and I swapped it for the old battery (Because of case with stand it won't fit)
Flashed stock GB (XXKI3)
Flashed CF-Root KI3
Full Wipe (Cache, Factory/Data, Dalvik, Battery stats)
Format System
Flashed Kernel Cleaner
Flashed VK 5.1.2
Flashed Siyah 3.3.2
So after doing all this, the SoD has gone. So it must be a problem with Fluxi on my device.
I may be wrong but after doing this the problem stopped and I am happy again
So thank you to you all who tried to help!

I have the same problem, except my SOD also has high battery drain even though the phone is pretty much useless. Very annoying when you are relying on the alarm clock. Did you also notice high battery drain?
I found it happened on Thebyani 4.3, not on 4.4, and now it happened on 4.5. Im hoping the kernel cleaner and the latest Siyah kernel will fix it. Any kernels you guys recommend if it still happens?

well gr8 then mate!
Q: could u ever tryed giving some more voltage to cpu in fluxi?

I had a high battery drain already abd i bought a new extended battery. I am charging the device the now and it has heated but i took it off and turn it off to cool. I am going to recalibrate the battey
Try doing what I did to see if it helps.
Flash a stock unrooted firmare and see if you still get SoD
Ive been using my phone since i posted and not had one SoD.
Do you mess with your freqs? Try keeping them to basic

Shutdown - openOptimus

Hi guys
Lately my phone has been shutting down without any apparent reason.
Most of the times it happens at night, but it has also happened during day when some hours go by without using it.
It's not a battery issue, since it happens with 80% 70% 60% (...) charged battery.
I don't need to remove the battery to turn it on again (like some cases I've read here), it turns on just fine, like nothing happened.
I'm using openOptimus 2.202.1 with franco 2.6.35.14
So... any ideas or debugging I might do?
I was planning on posting this on openOptimus dev thread, but since I've just registered, I can't
Thanks!
Actually most similar problems are solved by reflasing the ROM. The cause is in most cases something wrong in the /system partition or half-installed or half-removed tweaks. I had this problem 3 or 4 times, but every time I reflash the ROM this gets solved.
If reflashing fails go for data wipe (First backup with Titanium Backup/similar software). All applications can be backed up/restored using backup software, but after the wipe restore data to only the user apps, because bad data in system apps may cause the device to malfunction.
Hi Ianis,
I'll try that today and I'll give some feedback
Thanks
And, i had this problems all on OpenOptimus.. fixed it by flashing Oxygen

[Q] No multi-dpi support by NEAK/Cherrypicker kernels

Hello Guys !!!
I have been using serendipity and ultimatum rom with siyah kernel 3.2.4 for quite some time .. I'm a sucker for changing DPI to lower like 215-220 as I don't like big icons covering all screen space..
Yesterday I read somewhere that NEAK has better battery life as compared to siyah, so I tried to flash that.. however to my surprise I found that it just got hanged as sammy boot screen and didn't even boot.
Then just to test, I also tried cherripicker kernel and faced same issue with that too. then finally I reflashed my siyah and everything was back to normal and booted as it should.
My question is, has anyone noticed this issue before where only siyah supports multi-dpi and no-other sammy kernel ? Forgive me if its something that is understated somewhere and I missed it, but I found it kinda surprising as it should be something supported with all kernels...

I kind of doubt that it's the multi-dpi issue and it's more of a problem with ExTweaks settings. Before you flash a different kernel, I would clear all your ExTweak settings (under CWM > Kernel Specific) then wipe Dalvik and Cache, and then flash.

Your flashing something wrong, Kernels have no support of DPI.
Its the ROM, and the applications that are affected by DPI change

siyah + ICS 4.0.4 problems help needed

Hi all, and thanks for reading this tread,
I have some issues and I'm hoping someone here could help shed some light on.
I was on ICS 4.0.3 and avoiding 4.0.4 due to brickbug issues. but I guess I couln't resist anymore and decided to give it a try. I tried to stay far away from buggy kernel so I used mobile odin to flash I9100XWLPT plus siyah 3.5.2 on one go
the result was a failure however, kernel flashed but firmware wiped (S2 logo was appearing but nothing else / softbrick ?).
Then I said oh well its not (hard)bricked or anything so I decided to use odin to flash I9100XWLPT, than siyah. It went ok but I lost mtp connectivity, tried s3 ported ui... didn't fly as well . Maybe something wrong with siyah 3.5.2 I thought, so tried an older siyah which I did not have an issue with h4.0.3. Situation did not improve however.
Then I flashed my old 4.0.3 and wiped, all ok mtp ok, upgraded to 4.0.4, all go, mtp ok.
Flashed siyah 3.5.2, mtp fails again. Tried android's own factory reset (not the on the boot menu, one on the personalization menu). Ended up with soft brick again (no boot only charging animation and odin mode). Flashed 4.0.4 again.
But this trial and eror process is going more dangerous by the minute I guess, so I decided to ask for support.
Do I do anything wrong? I want to upgrade to 4.0.4 everything as close as possible to stock, plus root and tocuhwiz from s3. its not too much to ask I guess.
Any suggestions and any explanations are very welcome also,
I'll thank any useful comments
kind regards,
I have 4.0.4 since 4th July with its stock kernel and it works perfectly well, I upgraded from 4.0.3 but I never did any wipes just updated on top of 4.0.3 and booted the phone, rooted from chainfires CF root thread, try it that way, worked for me and still is working.

Thanks If all else fails I'll try that, but siyah is a good kernel and it seems to be more battery efficient too.
If its a problem I failed to check with siyah I can go 4.0.4 kernel way but it makes me nervous to run a buggy kernel.

Totally agree Siyah is good I used it on 4.0.3 but it seems to fail on 4.0.4 at the moment I have not actually tried the latest one so it may well be good but I am looking to upgrade to SG3 next week so just want to keep my phone going for the time being no more playing around with this one until I have my new one.
I am using LQ5 which is reported as the buggiest but I can honestly say I have not had any problems at all, battery life appears good enough to me, depends how much you use it I guess.

Thanks, pardon me if I'm being paranoid but I just read a tread about nand corruption so, this isn't something like that I assume. (Odin flash failed and left me with soft brick out of the blue). Did not notice anything about siyah 3.5.2 either so the problem may be with my phone memory.
P.S Prior sentence reads as "Please prove me wrong"
I switched to speedmod kernel, and figured siyah had MTP problems with either 4.0.4 ics or 3.5.2
I asked same questions to those kernels' respective topics & thus this tread fulled it's purpose. Thanks kindly for anyone who read & replied

Touch screen! Help please

I have problem with touch screen, when it is in direct sunlight or any strong light, it becomes unresponsive for 1or 2 minutes. This happens when I lock, so it means in lock screen I can not touch anything its not responding for few minutes. And what is most important, this problem is since I updated to ICS,in 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 also. But if I flash back to GB 2.3.6 I dont have this problem and it works perfect. And I heard a lot people having this problem, did some one found solution, as it is working in GB so it is not hardware problem.
I am really thankfully if anyone can help me.

since you are using i9100g, I might not be able to recommend you a custom kernel. This kind off touch screen issues has been fixed in our own kernels.
Try this:
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash your kernel of choice again
- fix permissions
- reboot phone

i experienced this before on my old Galaxy S, try going on for other CustomROMS and kernels..
But really I don't understand, my brother has also i9100g but he don't have this problem, I tested his phone in stock and in custom roms, I let it in sunlight for 10-15 minutes. But mine for 1-2 minutes immediately becomes unresponsive. I have tested all roms and kernels for i9100g and always I did wipe data, cache, dalvik cache but the problem is still present. Sometimes I say its hardware problem, but if I flash gb stock or any custom rom in gb, I can let phone in sunlight for 10-20 minutes without problem. Really its confusing me. If you guys will help me fix this problem I would be really really thankful as I am tired of this

then go for gingerbread if you don't mind.. if your phone is still on warranty, then you can send it back to the service center ASAP if not, you can also spend some money to get it fixed (it won't be cheap, trust me).. but if you wanna save some cash on it, you can stick to GB if that's what's doing you good on your problem..
hope you get it all sorted out
That's the problem that I don't have warranty. But really in GB you don't have nothing ICS is much better also so many custom roms and kernels for ICS. The fact that is working fine in gb and its not hardware problem is killing me. It must be a way to fix

[Q] over heating after rom flashed

I´ve flashed S4 Revolution v6 rom with no problems at all.
After going on a tour my i9300 reached 43º. I thought it was just me getting excited but it still happens.
I´m using titanium backup and removed all apps I didn´t want but didn´t improve.
After idle it´s ok but as I start using net or a few multitasks.... 43º again
Also, I´ve deleted cache, dalvik and factory as well and flashed again with no luck.
On another note, on previous S4 Revolution v5 it was fine.
Any ideas please???
Wipe phone flash stock rom and test and or read the rom thread .

any way that is based on a leaked rom and hence bugs are expected. tweak according to your requirements. else mega wipe and flash the rom again.

funny enough I had version 5 for some time and worked fine.
Heating can sometimes be caused by the kernel.Wipe cache partition and flash a custom kernel.
