Sleep of Death....what can i do? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
For the past while i was getting the SOD only using Siyah based kernels and Phenomenal was working fine for me, but after updating to version 6.1 my phone has started to switch off again. Is this a problem with hardware and do i need to send the phone away for repair or can it be fixed by myself some other way?
I have went back to Phenomenal 5,5 kernel and am waiting to see if i still get the problem.
Cheers.

Hello,
I have tried just about all the latest ICS and JB roms......
The make of your phone. There are many different variants of your device. I9100 G/M/P/T
Are you rooted/unrooted?
What rom you are using? -and- What kernel are you using?
Have you flashed any mods/scripts/themes?
Have you changed DPI? If yes, to what?
I have a UK T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II I9100XXLQ6
I am rooted
I was Dual Booting with SuperNexus JB Build 2 and Portal Rom 2.4 using the latest siyah kernel and i got the SOD using SuperNexus, i then removed The second rom and used the ultimate kernel cleaning script to remove Siyah and installed Phenomenal 6.1 with Portal Rom and i got the SOD a day later.
I am not using any mods or extra scripts
I have not changed the dpi
I noticed this problem when i first tried a dual boot a few months ago but has been stable until now only with Phenomenal 5.5. i have tried the other siyah based kernels and i still got the SOD.
Yesterday i flashed the Phenomenal 5.5 along with Portal rom and it's been fine so far but i can get 2-4 days before it happens then it happens a few times daily after the first SOD.
EDIT: Thats it switched off again. Think i will need to send it in for repair?

[Q] Bluetooth related reboots - ICS (Official ROM)

Hi,
I have BT problems. While connected to my car stereo (Sony MEX-BT3900U) for a while, the phone reboots itself. After reboot the phone doesn't automatically connects to car stereo, I have to manually reconnect. I'm using the Official ICS rom (I9100DXLP7).
This occurs during audio stream & call.
Tnx for any sugestions.

Root you phone and change you kernel

I'm aware this is a noob question, but I think don't really grasp the complete flashing process:
The only thing I did was flash ROM I9100DXLP7 with Odin. I wasn't aware the kernel had to be updated manually.
Should I root first using CF-Root v5.4 LPQ, and then flash the Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)? Both files are listed:

tnx for your help...
I have the same problem with my S2 and car stereo (Sony MEX-BT2950) had no luck after trying multiple stock / custom ROMS and even combinations of different kernels and modems. nothing worked. the only way this is going to work is to roll back to Gingerbread

I forgot to mention that this bug has happened on every ICS build i have tried right up to XXLPQ. I have just noticed there have been two releases since then, XWLP2 being the latest. i'm gonna try it and will report back with the results.

It does not its part of the firmware and root wont fix the problem either .
Although a custom kernel with a built in fix for the problem could be the answer .

good call. i'm downloading LP2 as we speak and if this does not fix the problem then I'll give one of Siyah's new beta kernels a shot as well.
EDIT: I have installed LP2 and Bluetooth streaming to the car stereo still results in a reboot after approx 15 minutes. Flashed Siyah Kernel 3.0b6 and that didn't help either. back to GB i guess.
Good news everyone!!!!!! I have found the fix! Just load following kernel (using Odin): SiyahKernel v3.0.1 (Posted on April 8, 2012). this kernel can be found at http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ . All credit go to the devolpper of the kernel.
Cheers,
Phil

Sorry but it isn't a solution. I have installed the last siyah kernel, 3.1rc6 and my phone keep on rebooting every about 15 minutes if it paired with my sony car audio system.
Has anyone found a solution?
I have the same problem. I'm using Wlp8
DULP9 and its still broken. god this sucks. im tired of having to use the slow and battery hungry GNex cos it's bluetooth, of course, works fine with my car stereo
SOLVED!!!! well for me the fix was using a CM9 based ROM. F1 Galaxy Nexus to be exact. I was able to stream via bluetooth for well over 90 minutes without any problems whatsoever. I hope this will help someone out there.
From what I can tell from some thread I found somewhere else using google, it seems that any custom rom running 4.0.4 works fine, seems to be somehow related to Samsungs 4.0.3 rom and any roms based on it (not sure about 4.0.3 roms NOT based on the Samsung rom).

My 2c.
I am having the same issues. With the ROM XXLPW the problem stopped, but this ROM is not smooth and battery friendly as XWLPD that I was using before.
Today I flashed XWLPG and guess what? The reboots came back!
Where is the Bluetooth related files? Maybe using the XXLPW in the XWLPG or XWLPD we can have a trouble free ROM and smooth at the same time.

Marcello there are 3 solutions
1. given that XWLPM firmware is based on Android 4.0.4 this *might* solve the problem (i no longer have a GS2 to verify) Beware! I *think* this rom may have the dreaded "brick bug" that could permanently damage your phone. Do NOT install CWM recovery with this rom!!!!
2. install a ROM based on CynaogenMod 9 or AOKP. both are also based on Android 4.0.4
3. If you must stay on a Samsung stock ROM then downgrade to Gingerbread.
I'm pretty sure nothing else would work. I sure hope the Galaxy S3 stock roms dont have this bug as im really considering getting one this week

The best for Australia

I currently run 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP2 but it locks up and gets very HOT at times till I remove the battery and then power it up again.
all other functions seem fine but i think its time to try a later version.
Anyone recommend what I should be using for Australian Unlocked GT-19100?

Suggest you try a different Kernel. Both Speedmod and Siyah (check thread for viability of latest release... I'm using 3.1 beta 3 without problems. Use Better Battery Stats to identify what is keeping the phone awake (see thread for more information).
Try a different ROM (Turkbey is working well for me and I think is compatible across Europe and has good language support).
Good luck!

Im currently running litening rom 2.7 on vodafone australia im very happy with it. its based on lp7 im also running abyss kernel 2.0 very good .there is a few kernels you can try to see what works for you. http://www.nonsolosmartphone.it/abyssics-kernel-t133.html http://z13.invisionfree.com/Litening/index.php?

Just installed 4.0.3 Icecream Build ICS.XXLP6 (I9100XXLP6_I9100OXXLP3_OXX)
and will run that for a few days and see it it locks up.
If it does then some major changes I think Like suggested above.
Thanks
Quit being lazy. Try a bunch of roms out until you find one you like/that works well for you. Given how easy it is to make/restore a Nandroid backup in CWM, there's no excuse for you not doing this.

[Q] Siyah Kernel, Cannot use Speedmod kernel

Hi,
I am using CM 9 (14th April nightly build). I flashed Siyah's kernel 3.1rc4. Everything seems to work fine with it. But then I flashed the Speedmod kernel (K3-9).
Now when my phone boots, I don't see any boot animation and as soon as the lockscreen appears I get lots of "has stopped working popups" for various services (phone, acore etc etc) and the phone is basically un-usable.
I tried flashing CM 9 again, so that I get Codeworx's kernel. I flashed Speedmod over it but still the same problem
Anyone here facing/faced a similar issue ?
Thanks!
why are you migrating yourself from no problems to problems,
forget the Kernel which is giving treble thats it...or you really want to know the reason ask in the speedmode kernel thread....

Oh that is sad ! Speedmod was the best kernel that I had on GB. That is why I wanted to try out the ICS version.

Because I haven't found a sweet spot yet. That is why I am experimenting with different kernels.

Will post in the speedmod thread. Just wanted to know if this was a generic problem with all kernels or just speedmod specific.
It says very clearly in the Speedmod thread that it works only on Samsung based firmwares. CM9, AOKP, etc... are not Samsung based firmwares, so not too surprisingly it doesn't work.

WiFi will not switch on

I had been running the official Samsung version of ICS on my phone for a few months with no problems (updated via Kies).
Last weekend I rooted my phone but afterwards WiFi stopped functioning. When I tap the icon in the pull down menu it goes green, and then greys over. In settings it says Wifi is turning on, but it never does.
I tried flashing a new custom ROM, new Kernel, reverting to stock ICS from Samsung, unrooting. All with no success. Same issue.
Finally I flashed back to gingerbread in the hope that it was an ICS issue. That didn't work either!
I've searched and searched but found very little info. For the record, yes I've factory reset and wiped cache etc etc.
I'm open to any suggestions at this stage. Thanks.
Try a different baseband/modem.

I think changing baseband will not do anything.wifi is controlled via kernal i guess.

I had that probem after I upgraded to resurrection 2.6 from 2.5.1. The problem persisted even after I restored the 2.5.1. (The camera also stopped working) I solved the problem with flashing the phone with the stock ROM. I am also interested to know why it happened? (Problem with 2.6 resurrection?)

Very interesting actually. Thinking about it I flashed to Resurrection Remix 2.5.3 almost immediately after rooting, and I think this is when my problems started. Only thing is that I've since flashed backwards and forwards through various ROMs, Kernals and versions of Android to no avail. Have you a link to the stock ROM you used?
I had this problem when I first got Resurrection remix 2.5.3, the problem lied in the siyah kernel I was using. I proceeded to wipe my phone (factory,dalvik,etc) and reinstalled the resurrection remix. But this time I went to custom installation and changed the siyah to the newer version or fluxi and wi fi started working again.

Thanks for the reply. I'm running Resurrection Remix version 2.6 at the moment and flashed the Siyah 3.4.1. Still the same problem.
Almost certainly the problem first happened when I installed RR last weekend, but nothing I do seems to solve it!
Any further suggestions?

Screen artifacts/Graphical glitch

Greetings everyone,
Recently my girlfriends S3 started having these Screen artifacts/Graphical glitch and I have no idea what is causing it. I am hoping that someone would be willing to help me out on this, as I have yet to experience anything like this personally. She is rooted and running a custom Rom and kernel.
It seems to start after opening random apps, usually games. Rebooting seems to get rid of the problem. Her phone is not overclocked/underclocked and never overheats.
Her system setup is:
Rom: XXUGMJ9 NeatROM lite v5.3
Kernel: boeffla-kernel 5.1
Video can be found here of the problem.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response, but she had a previous version of neatrom without any issues for 7 months or so. I'll try reverting to a previous or another Rom but sock is too bloated and slow
