Hey,
My phone continuously has a problem in which the W on the keyboard does not work. It presses the letters either side. Paired with this, now and then the screen appears to think i'm touching it, when I am not - the menus change, applications open, and the bottom buttons freeze - the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
Is there a solution to fixing this? I've tried switching roms and kernals?

Tbh, I have no idea what to say. Do one thing, try flashing official firmware through odin and check if this error persists. If it doesn't then root the phone again and go to your favourite ROM. If it does, It could be a hardware problem of some sort. Best of luck
You can try Siyah kernel, I think it has some fixes for the touchscreen.

I have tried that kernal and the problem did continue. I haven't however flashed an official stock ROM since my first custom ROM. The problem is quite random which makes it impossible to replicate, I can just be using my phone for a few seconds and it will freeze up, then not do it for a week and it'll come back.
I am going to put on
"Official Stock ICS Firmwares
I9100XWLPT Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)
Base Firmware: I9100XWLPT (4.0.4)
Region: Europe"
And see if it'll sort out the issue. Currently my phone is essentially unusable due to the error - doesn't help I need this phone for tomorrow when I go on holiday.

Hi
I have a 4.0.3 france firmware installed samsung I9100G.But lately the no lockscreen problem (holding the power button will not bring the options and just shuts the phone off),ringtone and a few other problems started to annoy me really bad.
I'm thinking to install the 4.0.4 german firmware from samfirmware but how stable is it? is there any problem with the 4.0.4 or anything special i should know about it?
i have reflashed the 4.0.3 but those problems didnt go away.
thanks for any helps.
Go back to GB.For me that is more stable than ICS or JB.

If the firmware is official, it should be stable. So, your choice: or GB, or ICS.

updated to 4.0.4 but nothing changed.
ok here are the problems:
- The power button options are not showing up. if i hold the power button it just closes the phone directly.
- The screen lock doesnt work. Wont lock the screen with any option there.
- The sim lock doesnt work. If i put the sim lock on (put a lock on the sim) the phone starts normally but wont let me call or text. So i have to disable the lock on the sim to make it work normal.
Now these are the problems i have seen so far. When i got the phone it was GB and there was absolutely no prob until updating to ICS. So whats the suggestion, should i give a try on custom firmware ICS or go back to official GB? if you say custom firmware then which one?

It's always recommended to perform a factory reset after upgrading your phone software

For me the samsung stock roms are like windows o/s.
GB=xp
Ics=vista
Jb=w7
A crude comparison......but vista was a pile of crap.....

1. If your phone is not rooted, root.
2. Create file /efs/imei/keystr, containing the word ON.
3. Make sure the file has rw-r--r--, or 644 permissions.
4. ...
5. Profit!

ok thank you very much bro. that did it
i first rooted the phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778 with the option 2.
then used this little guide:
- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should? be there.
Obviously you must be rooted the "su" command
And for Signal Problem Simply do not put any pin on your sim ,,,
I recently flashed CWM onto my uncles GS3 and rooted his current rom. I made a backup and then tried out a new AOSP rom, which we decided not to keep because my uncle did not like it. But now, returning to the old rooted stock rom, every time the phone disconnects from wifi, it completely freezes up on the lock screen. Pressing the lock button does not shut off the screen and instead just locks it. You are unable to unlock it as the phone completely freezes up. The only way to get into the phone is to double tap home to get into the voice commands, and then go to home from there.
But even after that the phone continues to freeze. I tried another ROM on his phone today, but the problem still persisted a while later. It all happens when the phone is connected to wifi, and you walk out of range. After which the phone starts to freeze up.
I'm totally unsure whats going on. I just flashed the rom again, and we are trying a clean slate with no restoring of any data. It may have started to happen after we installed root browser (just as a guess), but we could be completely wrong.
If this continues again on this rom as well (which is Revolution HD) Im going to go back to completely stock (rom & recovery), and hope it still doesn't persist there. If not then I am out of options, and I have no clue what to do.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. We spent so many hours today trying to resolve this.
Thanks!
Usualy WiFi problems are kernel related. Have you tried Siyah or another custom kernel?
If this will not help than returning to stock with all wipes is the best idea, this should resolve your problem. If not, than you can try to reset router or set static IP for s3. Also try to remove WiFi setting for your home network in the phone and set it again manualy or via WPS mode.

Thanks for the reply. This issue has been occurring between two different roms, so can the kernal still be an issue? Its happened with the absolute stock rom (w/ root) and Android HD Revolution.
My uncle said he would play around with the phone and let me know if it freezes again by tomorrow. If it does im going to wipe and stock.
Can anyone show me where to get the stock roms for the i9300?
I've downloaded and tried 3 different ones, but the phone never manages to boot up!

Same problem on Galaxy Note N7000, did your problem resolve by reverting back to stock because I've tried every possible option, to no avail?

Go into recovery and wipe the cache, I believe that was my problem.
Hey guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 with a custom LPU rom (with speedmod kernel).
My phone freezes when I update apps using google store and when I watch videos on youtube's app (both when WIFI is on).
Sometimes, it also freezes when I just turn WIFI on.
The phone freezes for about half a minute and then it goes back to home screen.
What can I do?
Do you thing it's a rom related problem?
Thanks!

Hi!
It could be a ROM related problem.. what particular custom ROM are you on? I doubt it's a Kernel related problem, there's still a possibility..
1. try wiping dalvik cache/ caches / better yet restore factory settings, if it doesn't work..
I suggest you flash back to stock firmware to get it all sorted out and from there, you can start all over..
I hope this helps, cheers
This is a translated ROM (based on this) that includes some mods
The problem has started a week after flashing this rom.
I tried wiping dalvik cache / caches, but google store still makes my phone freeze.
Can you detail more about flashing back to stock firmware?

I have a serious issue with both my I9100 devices.
it suddenly freezes and requires reboot. when i do it, it stuck on boot screen (Where the yellow triangle would be if using unofficial firmware)
nothing helps, only wipe data. once I wipe, device loads fine and starts working again.
I tought at first its rom/kernel related, I switched everything and even tried stock rom.
it keeps happening...today, I tried to swap batteries as one got empty, I took the battery out of the stocked-rom device (after turning it off) and then later when i switched it on, it had to be wiped.
same as with my other device.
Anyone has any clue what this is about?
Its became a big issue for me, I cant flash/wipe every few days...
One device is on Neatrom 4.4 lite, the other stock-everything, both 4.1.2

u can just rewert to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware on both the phones and check for the issue (whether its firmware related or any hardware issue as such)
thanks for your help,
It did not happen on 403, tough it didnt happen on 4.1.2 for some while either.
what else would you suggest me to test?

1) with 403 for some time once again to ensure no issues of freezing.
2)then a different 4.1.2 stock/custom rom altogether to check for the same(freezing) issue.
stay for some time on those firmwares and see (may be one or two charge cycles).
3) do not install any mods on top of the firmware, just stay stock and see
One of the devices is already back to 403, while the second one on stock 412
the hardest thing to tell if 403 solves it or not, as it happens occasionally, once in a week or two.
I tried two different stock roms, so that would rule out #2.
The weird thing is that wiping data is enough.
data is separated from the rom itself, yet it causes the entire device not to boot anymore.
Hi guys, I have a very irritating issue with my international Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925F) and hopefully someone could help me fixing it.
I'm experiencing frequent lockups mostly when trying to wake up/unlock the phone. The device becomes totally unresponsive to screen or home, back, window button taps and eventually after lots of tries it comes back to life and behaves as normal. The problem becomes way less frequent (almost disappears) if I connect it to a charger.
What I tried up to now with no luck fixing the problem is:
Disabled all the TouchWiz smart features, location services, wifi and radio broadcasts, rotation, nfc, sound, bluetooth, fingerprint scanner,
Checked all the sensors from the *#0*# menu and they seem fine,
Flashed through Odin, Smart Switch, TWRP official and custom roms (5.1.1, 6.0.1),
Tried rooted and non-rooted roms,
Tried odin's NAND erase all option and repartioned the phone using the ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit file,
Wiped the persistent partitions (sda11, 13) using the ADB commands dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda11, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda13, which however gave me:
dd: /dev/block/sda11 (sda13): No space left on device,
so I don't know if it was successful or not,
Updated (PASS) the TSP FW version from the *#2663# menu,
Opened the phone and powered it up after disconnecting all components apart from screen and battery,
Tried different battery.
Does anyone have a similar problem and knows how to fix it? Unfortunately, my device is out of warranty so I wouldn't like to visit a Samsung service centre.
I haven't tried alternative PIT files with hidden partitions of various sizes yet. Do you think that it will make any difference or, furthermore, is there a chance of further damaging my phone?
Could someone please with a similar device dial the *#2663# code and give me the following information? Phone's and part's TSP FW version, TSP threshold.
Is there a Phone's and Part's Touch key FW version available? In my phone I cannot see the Phone's, Part's Touch key FW version paragraph at all and I'm curious if this is related to the problem.
Looking forward for your tips! Thanks!

Hi mate, sorry to hear that.
Since it appears in both the flat and the edge version of the Galaxy s6, there is a similar thread in the flat galaxy s6 forum.

Keep an eye there too for future updates, because it seems more active.
