Hi guys.
Flashed my S III with Nordic firmware ( I9300XXBLFB_I9300XEFBLF1_I9300XXLFB witc CSC NEE).
It's the latest 4.0.4.
The problem I noticed is this : when waking the phone from idling it shows signal and all functionality seems OK. However, doing restart emails and SMS's coming up and also the ringtone/notification tones are reset to default.
Tried factory reset from within the Menu, but another strange thing : when pressing Power button only Turn Off and Restart options are available. An hard reset via code sorted the problem, but the email/ringtone issue is still present. After each switch Off it sets all notification to default.
Other than this phone is OK, with great battery back up and no warming issue either.
Any idea how to get rid of this "sleepwalking" status ???

Hi, I've just got my new samsung i9100.
Mostly I'm happy with it. But sometimes it just can't play any sound, including ringtone, media sound and even voice during call. It usually happens after playing some music.
Furthermore, when I try to adjust sound volume in this situation, the phone responds very slowly and finally it crashes and auto-reboot.
I bought this i9100 in NL and just have upgraded the system to KE2 through samsung kies. Is this problem a general software bug or does my phone have some hareware problem?
I've tried some customized rom, and the problem still exists.
Factory reset and wipe ???
Followed by original rom and return to seller .

I've got the same problem. The phone sometimes suddenly stops playing sound. When I then adjust the volume it freezes (the volume indicator) and after several seconds it just reboots.
I am not sure what is causing this. Will check the log as soon as it happens again.
Edit:
I suspect it has something to do with access to the sound resources. Also, programs cannot save anything when this happens.
Probably one of the partitions (sdcard?) is unmounting or not getting (re)mounted after it was used over USB on a PC?
Hi, Have had Galaxy S 2 for 5 weeks, it was working properly up until the screen failed last week, went off for official repair, came back fixed, all good I thought....But a New Issue Has Manifested
The methods of toggling through having sound on or in silent mode are giving false indications......
In phone options, which are entered by a long press on the power button, the first option is silent mode on / off, but the phone is doing the exact opposite to what it says! I have missed a couple of important calls because I checked the phone status this morning when I came out of a meeting, it said "Silent Mode On" So I hit it to activate Silent mode off, which it displayed, however, got to office and 2 calls had been missed, the phone was not ringing out at all...! (Even though it was displaying silent mode off) when I toggled bact to silent mode on, it would then ring???!???
I have soft reset, hard reset, and neither has made a difference. Now, do I send phone back again and be without it for 10-12 days, or is there a simple fix/issue I am missing here? If it was a Nokia, I would have re-installed the firmware as the next action, but cannot work out how to do this on a Samsung Galaxy S 2.
If I choose phone update in about phone, it tells me no new updates available.. There does not seem to be a re-install existing firmware route to take.
Please advise?
Thanks in anticipation;

factory restore reinstalls the existing firmware .

Hmm, well it cannot be that then, can it... Any ideas why phone is "Cross Wired" for want of a better explanation for the Silent On / Off reversal?

well to start with, i bought this samsung galaxy s2 mobile, it has been working absolutely fine until 3 days ago. My battery was low and it went into flight mode, i connected my mobile to the wall charger and it started charging up but since then, my mobile is in flight mode, i keep turning it off and it internally goes into flight mode, in settings it shows its off but on top bar of my screen, there is the flight icon, i cant make or receive any calls/texts since this started happening, I tried soft reset (removing the battery for few mins), didnt work. I tried to factory reset my mobile but its asking for some password, i tried my google password from which i configured the device at the time of purchase, but it says the password is incorrect. Pls help
Thanks

Make sure that when you enter your password you are connected to your/a wifi network because I assume you don't have mobile internet on flight mode.
Also, this may sound stupid but make sure you don't have any app or WIDGET that enables/disables fly mode, also long press your power button until the popup and see if flightmode is disable there too.
Last, go into your Phone Information and make sure you have a baseband and an Imei
*#06# on your dialer.
security password to protect your data,assuming you tried to master reset in android,if you didnt make one and have warranty,take it back, because the other process will void your warranty

status of my mobile
Model no : GT-I9100
Android Version : 2.3.4
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 [email protected]#2
Base Version : unknown
Build no : GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
I'm having the same problem, but i assume that i got it when the phone was updated OTA to 4.0.3 (LPG). I certainly did'nt have the problem beforehand.
It's absolutely useless to try to disable flightmode, both with powerbutton and manually inside settings - the phone never goes out of flightmode, even that it says that flightmode is disabled in settings, and when pressing powerbutton.
My solution though, is to disable flightmode and rebooting the phone. That works, but i don't know if that solves your specific problem. Irritating problem though - it somehow destroys the feeling of a good phone...
Lately i've been experiencing some strange bugs after updating to official IC (4.0.4 - build 4.1.B.0.587). my phone can't send double messages anymore, but the lock button stops working and starts turning volume up and it won't stop and i can't lock my phone so it keeps beeping for max volume. any ideas?
reset phone.....
Factory reset.
Perhaps this forum could help.
I received a used Xperia Mini [ST15i] as a xmas present from my bro-in-law.
It has Android 2.3.4 – Kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf
Build is 4.0.2.A.0.62
It had a lot of his apps on and foolishly I went into application manager and deleted a whole lot of stuff when suddenly the phone went into what I originally thought was a Haptic Feedback loop.
I was unable to power off so I had to remove Battery and restart from there. The loop starts slowly with one or two vibrates every 10 seconds then it becomes rapid and settles into an almost clock like rythm, two vibration per second.
I tried to get into settings to turn off the haptic feedback indicator but it seems like for each vibration [or tick] , an invisible ‘enter’ has been pressed somewhere on the screen so the only way to get into settings is to press the ‘back’ button and at the same time press the ‘settings’ button to interrupt the loop and after 5 vibrations or so I am able get into the ‘settings’ menu and un-tick the Haptic indicator. The phone goes quiet but the ‘clock’ or what ever process is looping continues. It completely blocks me out from doing anything unless I can interrupt it via pressing the back button.
To try get over this, I have reloaded the complete 150mb software via sony update. Afterward the problem still persisted. I have done both factory resets and still the loop process continues.
Have I screwed the Kernel? Any help or advice would be great. The phone is locked .
Sorry for you but it's an hardware problem (related to touchscreen). You have to send you mobile back to Sony.
Mine had the same issue out of the box and I had it replaced. The guy in the store told me it affects some batches (don't know which ones).
