Hi,
I rooted my phone recently and flashed the latest Siyah Kernel* on it and installed the complementing ExTweaks app. I hadn't played with the settings on ExTweaks, but I've noticed my haptic feedback has gone a bit funny and stopped working. It would be fine when I reboot it, but when I put it into standby/sleep mode and wake it up it stops working. I can change the intensity of the vibrations using ExTweaks, which would get it to work but if I rewake it, it would stop again. So I can gather that it's a software issue rather than hardware. I've tried getting rid of ExTweaks and rebooting the phone but the problem still persists.
Anything (other than flashing the stock ROM) I can do to make it work again?
Thanks.
* (I tried to flash a stock kernel after flashing CF-Root but that bricked my phone so I had to use a microUSB jig to enter download mode, from where I flashed Siyah to get it up and running again. I lost no data and don't know if it's relevant but I thought I'd put this in anyway.)

Thanks for your reply. No I have never performed a factory reset, phone originally had GB, which was upgraded to 4.0 and then 4.0.4 without any resets along the way.

Hello, I have been trying to use some JellyBean ROMs (ParanoidAndroid, Resurrection Remix, etc) but none of these can save my APN list :\. I'm currently on ICS (Resurrection Remix 2.6.1) and the only way I can save APN configurations is thru an application calle HiAPN. Unfortunately it doesn't work on JB, when I install it and open it, it says it must be converted to System App...then reboot, when I reboot, the app gets uninstalled... I re-install it, and then the app gets stuck with a message "pls reboot your phone..." when I try to set the APN.I fixed permissions, clean cache, etc... and nothing works.
Any ideas?

is there any ICS ROM/firmware, that you were able to normally use data without using any app to edit /save your APN?
I don't know if in fact the original ROM was able to do that, because when I bought my phone I immediately rooted and installed a custom ROM and in that time I was able to set my APN's manually (I was on GingerBread).
So there's no an easy solution to this, right?
thank you

For troubleshooting sake, you need to flash a stock ROM/firmware, then let me know if your APN works automatically, or you can manually input it yourself without using an app.
You the dual booting feature so that you can test without losing your primary ROM.

My bad, sorry U.U
Whenever I flash a custom ROM and lose APN settings I just ask my carrier to resend them to my phone.
They send an MMS with an installation file for the APN settings, maybe you could ask your network carrier to send them?
It's really simple. I flashed Paranoid Android 2.13 and had to get my carrier to resend APN settings and they installed and saved fine
Ok, I tried the WanamLite ICS UHLPY V12.6 Android 4.0.4 Smooth & Rock Stable ROM and it didn't got the APN list from the start but when I manually put an APN and saved it, it ACTUALLY WAS SAVED ... but now what I have to do to make the APNs work with ParanoidAndroid ROM?
Thank you for your patience
I had the same problems with Resurrection Remix. I reflashed then was able to manually input the APNs and save.

I also noticed on Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean for data the apn type had to be... default, supl. Used to be just.. data.

The thing here is that I have tried many ICS ROMs and in every one of them I have to use 3rd party app to configure the APNs and in JB this app doesn't work =( So I'm unable to use JB by the moment =(

Hello everyone,
I rooted my Galaxy i9100 S2 using the SU Busybox method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 ) with a view to installing cyanogenmod CM9. I installed CWM recovery and successfully rooted the phone. It rebooted and I had the Superuser app.
Then, I entered CWM recovery to install the CM9 rom. After I selected the option to Wipe data/factory reset, the phone started wiping the data and then it suddenly turned itself off. Now it will not turn itself on, nor will it charge. Basically, nothing is displayed on the screen. I tried all methods available, from trying to enter recovery mode to doing a soft reset, and nothing happens.
I was running on the stock Samsung Android ICS ROM. I didn't get to install a custom ROM, and the root went well, as I was able to boot successfully after that.
Why do you think this happened? Do you have any advice for me ?
Thanks a lot !
If you had 4.0.4 stock samsung ics with brick bug you can say good bye to your phone. . .

Were you on ICS 4.0.4? If so, and you have used wipe data/factory reset with the stock CWM, I think you may have been hit by the infamous eMMc brick bug. I believe the only fix is a replacement motherboard or Samsung Repair Centre.

Yes, I was running on the 4.0.4 Can I install the motherboard myself ? I am pretty handy with computers...
Motherboard replacements are possible yes. I'm not sure where you can purchase one. I'm handy with computers myself but I don't think I would want to replace it myself. I'm just wondering because I remember reading somewhere that Samsung said something like they would help fix phones hit by the brick bug because it was their fault. Don't hold me to that, but also because you were on stock ICS, Samsung may repair it if it's still in warranty of course.

Not in a bad mood bro. In fact my team just won.
The thing is, I'm always not so happy with people bricking their phone when it was avoidable in the first place. That warning thread was made sticky for some reason.
You know we always warn people about the stock 4.0.4 kernel, but some of them like the OP will always blame Samsung for their own error as if Samsung wanted them to flash a custom ROM in the first place.
It's just not good enough!

I didn't know I have to search the whole forum before doing a wipe. It's not an uncommon procedure...
Anyway, I took it to my local Samsung service. The phone is still under warranty, so the guy said it might take a few days but it will be free. The guy also said they have had a few instances like this.
When I get the phone back, can I flash a 4.0.3 stock rom, and then wipe data/factory reset ? I really want CM9 (the latest version, with 4.0.4) installed on it, as I like the stock android feel...

Don't worry, the insane chip will only cause a brick when you try to wipe data/factory reset when using the stock CWM on 4.0.4 ROM's. Your on 4.1 so your fine.
As for the bugs concerning CM10, please remember that they are still in nightly and no Release Candidate has been made yet.
If you have any concerns, drop a message in the CM10 thread, someone will be able to help you better there.

wifi is normally a kernel issue. so if you didn't change your kernel recently it may be you have an app that simply reactivates wifi/mobile data (tasker, battery savers, juice defender, network switcher, locale....)
a simple check could be to do a nandroid and then to factory reset. it it helps it was a setting/app if it remains it's the kernel/rom.
then you can either restore your nand or move to another ROM
game progress etc are saved normally with titanium or other root backup aps
How to check Nandroid? By reset u mean in settings or from recovery mode?
And is the CM10 Stable?

If you are using battery saver apps, or profile scheduler then uninstall them.

Not checking nandroid but doing one, use backup in recovery.
For reset it doesn't matter, I'd prefer recovery

- Install Siyah kernel for S2 using Odin.
- Let it boot up, ur rooted with ur stock firmware then.
- then reboot in recovery, now u have Siyah's cwm recovery (the best and safest way)
- make a nandroid backup if u want to go back to ur old system,
- wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache (in advanced settings)
- wipe cache/data/system in mounts and storage
- u can format ur internal storage if u want to start clean.
- then flash zip

And it seems that with this method there's no "yellow triangle alert".
Thanks a lot

Well yellow triangle only comes up when u install a custom rom/kernel with odin, So when u install Siyah with odin i forgot to mention to use Triangle Away app from chainfire it's in the ''original android'' forum
It's actually very easy but there are so many threads to root ur sgs2, u will get lost lol
