Hi guys.
Ive never posted here before. Im a note owner but my wife has a S2.
She has her S2 completley stock. Never been rooted and never even had a official firmware flash via odin. Its only ever had 1 update via KIES from GB to ICS. She only uses it for facebook/ebay/calls and txts.
Just now its gone weird? It seems as though TW has started misbehaving? Like the status bar responds to touch and so does the lock screen but TW doesnt? Then it keeps rebooting?
Im clueless when it comes to the S2. Do you guys suffer from the brickbug as we note owners do? Does the S2 Emmc have a habit of frying itself as the notes does?
In short can anybody suggest a fix or shall she just call O2 and have them fix it?
Many thanks

That firmware is free of the emmc bug.
boot to recovery, (turn off your phone, hold volume up button + home button + power button, release the buttons as soon as the phone lights up)
wipe cache
reboot phone
next time use home button + power button or volume down button + power button to taken screenshot on a Galaxy device
Thankyou.
I tried that but its not improved the situation. The phone is responsive for a few seconds then soft reboots. Not a full reboot as it doesnt come up with the gt i9100 logo?
Im presume that it can be flashed with odin just the same as the note? I may have to resort to a factory reflash?

I don't think she performed a factory data reset after upgrading to ICS.
Please backup her data, and perform a factory data reset.
Ok.
I will try that.
Its late now. She will have to wait. I gotta be up for work in 4 and a half hours.
I will have a tinker with it tomorrow.

I got the s3 from att about 4days ago but i realise now that it seams more slugish than my atrix 4g. This is embarasinv for the all mighty s3. So i decided to get some benchmark app from the market. I got cf bench and i score 4th on the list. After s2, one x and the s3 that is first there. Please help me understand if maybe i have a deffective device or i am using a bad app.
Also, when i am using an app and i hit the home button to go to the main screen it shows the backgroun pic first and a little later it starts popping up the app shortcuts on my desktop. Thank you for any help in advance.

yep you turned on power saving for sure. That feature is 100% worthless. Not only dose it not save ANY power, it slows down the phone so much you can't even type fluidly on any keyboard.
No. Power savings is off. I also just did a factory reset and i reinstalled cf-bench. I redid the benchmark and now it is just a bit better than the s2, but still it is like half way to where the one x and unlocked s3 are. Can anyone do a cf bench and get back with some comparesing benchmark. This is enoying to say at list. I want to make sure that my phone is not deffective whole i can still exchange it. Thank u.

I am running stock rom and uprooted.
What Apps have you installed since this started?
Anyone figured it out yet? It's happening to me now, every time I toggle it off, it'll switch itself back on a few minutes later.
I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it and it's driving me nuts.

Same, I have stock rooted generic UK, have applied the last 3 updates they released ota without factory resets.

Could an app have permission to control wifi?
I am thing that it has to do with a app or even Google sync running in the background.

I was on BLFB, I think it started when I updated to LG6, then updated to XXBLG8, and it stayed so had to factory reset.
My S3 yesterday died on me. It was on charge over night and in the morning when I woke up it was turned off and just refused to turn back on again.
I'm taking it back to the shop today but before I do I was wondering if there was any way of wiping the data off it before handing it over? I just don't fancy the thought of some random guy having access to all my files and photos. Not that there is anything bad on there :laugh:
If you can't get in recovery or downloadmode there is now way to wipe you're phone.

This happened to me once and it turned out to be the battery and not the phone. If you have a friend who happens to have an S3 as well, may want to try and swap the battery out with them and see if that makes a difference. If not, then service center and warranty are your only option.

Already tried that in the shop but it didn't work. I'm going back today to hand it in as their systems were down yesterday so couldn't book my phone in
I think you don´t need to be concerned about that, it happens to me with S2 and that was the board that burned and possibly even samsung will be able to read the data. And normaly they don´t care about that they just simply will replace your board and everything will be fine again.

Today i flashed official 4.1.2 XXLA Firmware of United Kingdom through KIES (thanks to the trick through which i forced the update, as 4.1.2 is not available in my country yet).
Overall functions and features are working flawlessly but i am having a bit of problem that whenever i open up my notification bar then the animation of shortcut icons (WLAN,GPS,Mobile Data, etc.) is not fluid and it gets worse when there is a list of available programs that have recently been installed or are currently being installed.
Is there a way to fix this ?
p.s. Below is the list of icons of which animation is really laggy

Check power saving mode is not on. And ive found when listening to music the animation from when u open the notification bar causes lag

Try a factory reset...
Do a factory reset and set force 2D rendering and animations in dev options to .5 (or off). You will notice an increase in UI performance.
OP:
That screenshot is not 4.1.2 JellyBean. Its ICS 4.0.4.

or clear launcher data if you want to save apps & data

I think it works this way. When u updated. They still keep it as they have to replace the apk file but they will not. When u factory reset, all is lost and they flash the new 4.3 apps.

I don't think they removed it form 4.3 because right now i discovered a file libMusicSquareLib.so in the directory system\lib. I think Samsung forgot some code to connect it with the music palyer app.
