Dear all,
I reverted back to Gingerbread 2.3.6 from ICS as was facing battery drain problem.
Also, rooted Gingerbread and installed battery stats apps as noticed battery drain after revert to gingerbread.
With the help of Anttec manager i freezed couple of apps which i thought might cause the problem
But still the problem persist
Please find the attached screen shots and request you to please let me knw who is causing the problem.

- Do a factory reset, it is recommended after software upgrade or downgrade
- switch to custom kernel if the problem persists
Good luck

yes
Yes, on ICS the battery drain was very fast while using wifi or screen on sometimes it drained 1% in 1 sec so in 10 mins 10%.
I am currently on stock gingerbread rom (rooted)
I few minutes back installed one live wall paper and noticed that screen use to come up after few seconds. After uninstall the same screen has not come up.
But still i can see awake 3m (188 secs) 16.1%.
thanks

Speedmod kernel, make sure you are flashing the gingerbread version.
Flashing an ICS kernel will result into bootloops
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
i would like to recommend u to use stock kernel
and make sure to do a full wipe also format / system before flashing
a stock rom (untouched) and check ur battery if drain fast... then u should replace it ...
Too bad you are running GB. I am on JB with Siyah Kernel 4.0.1 and it works fine running around 16to 26hours using as a normal phone

this is due to the fact that your battery reading is still inaccurate, the fuel gauge is trying to settle down/calibrate your battery.
Ps: if you can reupgrade back to ICS, I'm sure I'll be able to narrow down and fix your battery drain issue

since you presently have root access, you can just flash a custom stock based Rom, with less bugs all the way.
It's faster and safer than using kies or whatever they call it

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

Okay I'm very proficient with Android, my brother however isn't.
We live about 1,000kms away.
And I've been emailing him with detailed (n00b) guide on how to save his stuff, install a good kernel, and a good ROM on his i9100 (Vodafone Australia branded).
I also gave him lots of info/help with AOKP and Launchers and what-not.
When I was on a short holiday, he told me about some issues (stability and etc).
I was able to upgrade to a newer kernel and newer rom and fixed the issues except for one.
The STUPID microUSB port is on the fritz.
It shows charging when it isn't. It does charge. It does show the correct %.
But connecting the phone to PC, it doesn't recognize it.
After so many attempts, and troubles, he wants TouchWizz back but with ICS.
So how do I install ICS on it?
Where can I download stock kernel and stock ROM?
Flash with Odin (preferd) or Kies (shrug)?
I need some "clear" instructions, so I can dumb it down and explain to him.
He should've gotten an iPhone, seriously, but what can you do?
Thanks for all honest attempts!
(PS Why isn't this issue found in Search or Google. I thought it would be common)

Yeah he's got it (custom recovery, kernel, rom, scheduler, governor, voltage setup etc etc).
He was on the best custom kernel and AOKP ROM at the time (1.5 months ago). I don't think its the custom rom, I think its his handset... he must've dropped it a lot of times.
And the microUSB issue is possibly hardware related.
He's just "had enough" of a custom rom, he wants it dumbed down.
Like I said, he shoulda got an iPhone, he's just not into spending the effort to reap Android's benefits. He "100%" wants TouchJizz again.
So where can I get him to download the files, and what's the best (dumbest) way to get him to do it. I can't go there just to solve his problems.

Okay.
I told him to back up his EFS and do a nandroid before he install'd the custom ROM.
Turns out he can't find the files (or never bothered).
Otherwise it would've been simple (nandroid restore, install Kies, apply update).
Anyways, what's the easiest way for him to fall back from an AOSP ROM to an Official Stock Samsung TouchWizz 4.0.4 Firmware?
No modifications whatsoever, he can do the rest himself I've pretty much had it

He should do full wipe before flashing.
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
Just a quick update. He's flashed that ROM you recommended (which is basically stock rom and stock kernel, with just r00t etc).
And what I told him has resulted:
1) Phone is ever-so slower in transitioning between Apps
2) Phone uses more power (I'd say a difference of about 1hour per day)
3) GPS a little slower to lock
4) Camera seems to have improved (no surprises)
5) The "bug" of his Music App not finding his music in the SD has gone
6) The microUSB still wont interact with his PC
7) The microUSB still shows "charging" constantly.
Diagnosis:
- Busted microUSB slot, incompetent user.

Hey guys,
I know you guys probably think oh god not another boot loop thread, but i couldn't find someone with the same problem as this one. I don't own a s2 myself but my friend does and he doesnt understand a thing about android. He has never updated his phone, it's not rooted or unlocked or anything. But a few days ago the phone randomly shut down and went into a bootloop. I tried to wipe his cache via the recovery menu but that didn't work. Then i did a factory reset and that sort of worked, the phone worked again but yesterday it did the same thing. he likes the phone the way it is so he'd rather not update it.
Does anybody know what could cause this bootloop and what he can do to fix it? If he has to update is there a safe way to update but stay on gingerbread? I myself own a Xperia Arc, i know that flashing roms through flashtool is pretty safe, is there anything like that for the S2?
thx in advance
(system information)
You would use Odin instead of flashtool.You can get the rom from sammobile.
First check he can get into download mode.....

Poor battery is only on pure stock ICS (rooted or not).
Hallo everyone!
So since a week ago i'm a proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S2 (yay!).
It had Android 2.3.5 at the beginning so 2 days ago i've updated it to ICS (4.0.3). I've updated it via ODIN (since it couldn't find updates via KIES or by air) with a official ROM (if that's what it's called) from samfirmware.
Since then my phone heats up a lot more compared to 2.3.5 , i don't know how's that possible but i haven't installed any new apps or used the phone differently since the update. I know it's normal to heat up when playing games but even if i'm browsing the web it heats up a lot. I haven't this problem with 2.3.5
Any suggestions?
Go back to 2.3.5 and wait for JB.Or try custom rom.

Hmm.. This is weird.. I'm having the same issue, but I'm having it with JellyBean ROMs.
For ICS the combination that works for me best is Cyanogenmod 9.1 and Siyah Kernel. If that still heats up, you might want to try some different modem and check out if any of them works for you. I think the stock XXKH3 modem helps.

As you might red above i'm a total newb to Android world atm , i just learned how to flash few days ago, i'm not going to mess with new modems etc. (for now). Do you guys think that if i upgrade to that leaked 4.1.2 , that might fix the problem? Also i didn't do factory reset after the upgrade to 4.0.3 because some other user from other forum told me that if i install the official 4.0.3 rom from Samsung - there's no need to do factory reset.
I would have done a factory reset,but thats just me.ICS was overheating my wifes phone,but it was the 4.0.4 thats worst.
If you are flashing modems,you should root first and backup your efs folder......and make a nand backup.

As i mentioned i won't be flashing modems and such. What would you suggest me to do from that point (aside from downgrading)?
You can only downgrade to GB.I detest ICS(rootbox was ok),so I went back to GB.
But now I use vanilla rootbox(JB) with dorimanx kernel.
Only problem Ive seen with this so far is the bloody volumes far too loud when I press keys(had to switch it off).
Anyway,whatever you do make sure you get rooted and backup your efs folder.
So i just upgraded to JB and we'll see how's it going.

Hi
If you're using stock ROM then re-flash it with Odin, if that didn't fix it then replace the battery.
Custom ROMS can cause such issues, i have similar problem in cm13 but not on Nogut.

Yes of course, Stock Rom can only be flashed with Odin.

Can't heimdall do it too or is that just custom roms?. Personally I'd use odin as it is by far the most reliable as it is samsungs own software.
I totally agree that stock rom is the only way forward and if the issue continues then a replacement battery is the next step after that however, I MUST stress to the op that you HAVE to find an original battery from Samsung as cheap copies will inevitably bloat and fail prematurely, like mine did.
Edit: flashing a stock rom will wipe everything so if you need to make a backup now is the time to do it. Use gobackup but don't backup wifi settings or system apps as restoring those will bork the phone, as I found out one day..

Heimdal can but not in a direct way, you have to unpack some stuff and add each file to a slot and set the partitions..pain in the head...you Know?

If you mean online, you can try ebay or amazon.

Don't use flea Bay as it's full of fakes, not that amazon is any better.. The local high street or a samsung specialist /dealer is the best bet.
