My galaxy s2 has started causing me problems over the last day. It can only make or receive calls irregularly. Text messages are delayed when sending and receiving them. Sometimes when the phone does ring it makes an unusual sound. I have attached a video of this.
youtube.com/watch?v=kX3jb7rUua4&feature=youtube_gdata_player (Im not allowed post new videos cause i am a new user so removed the www part of the link) Sorry for doing this but it its hard to explain the sound in words.
Mobile data, wi fi and everything else on the phone are working fine. I have tried different sims in the phone and they all have the same problem. I have also restarted the phone numerous times and done a factory reset. The phone is rooted using siyah kernal 3.03 and running android 4.03. The build number is IML74K.XWLP7. The phone has been rooted with siyah kernal for a couple of months with no problem. Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is your network signal like? If it is poor, perhaps flashing a new modem may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950

Thanks for the reply. The signal is full strength or just one below. Do you happen to know if I unrooted my device would it make a difference?

Rooting wouldn't have caused it. Are you on a custom ROM? If so which one?

No am running a stock rom. Do you know could the noises in the video or the failure to randomly make or receive calls be caused by some type of physical damage? (moisture etc) Everything seems to work fine apart from calls not connecting and the noise in the video.
Have you dropped it? My older phones dialing sound has changed because i dropped it

No I haven't dropped it. The only physical thing that might have happened to it is moisture getting in. Everything else works perfect mobile data / wi fi / gps /screen / battery charge / camera. The noise doesn't always happen only a handful of times. Calls connect 50 percent of the time for ingoing and outgoing calls. It just seems so random

Thats what I think it might be. Was hoping it was somehow kernel related. Don't have the receipt anymore for carphone warehouse where i bought it. Still have the box though presume they would be able to crosscheck the numbers? Also to get rid of the yellow triangle (for returning it to the store) is all i need to do is flash the necessary firmware from sammobile site?

if ur a bit skillfull enough then u can try with some diff custom kernel/roms and see if the issue persits r gets resolved for u
to get rid of the 'Yellow triangle' u can use 'Triangle Away' app for sure
If the problem persists, download a stock ROM for your phone from sammobile.com, flash via Odin and then use a USB Jig to remove any binary count. Then send the phone off for repair by Samsung.

I bought mine for christmas , I found a dead pixel and rotation stopped working..
I sent it back for replacement, it was such a hassle cuz i dont live in usa.
Finally i got the new one, for 2 weeks now , is stock and I havent download any app just to make sure that was not the issue on the first one..
well yesterday guess what........... rotation and auto zoom stopped working on this one
I dont even know what to think now, I think Amaze is a great phone thats what i bought it .. but im having too many issues with this phone.
I set up MMS in my phone and is only receiving it no matter what , Is there a problem with amaze and MMS messages ?
Well I wonder, if I unlock it and load a rom, will it fix my problems ?
thanks in advance
Wow man I haven't had any of these issues, but my phone was rooted almost instantly, sooo...... Dead pixel is a hardware issue, so a new ROM wouldn't help that, sounds like u just got really unlucky. The other issues may be fixed by a different ROM, but would it be worth it when you have HW issues? Sheesh... Sorry
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Yea, your just very unlucky. as was i, i sent mine back because of my missing notification bar, got the new one and now when i go to install apps from my sd, my install button becomes unresponsive until i reboot it and i have roughly a 45 sec window till it becomes unresponsive again. new roms dont hurt and worth a try. fixed my problem.
Is there a problem with MMS messages, I cant send em, but I can receive it just fine.
You know all started when I took my phone to the phone company, they restarted the phone like 3 or 4 times cause mms was not sending .. On my way home I noticed the issues, I been restarting my phone since then waiting for a miracle ...
Today in the morning , I restarted my phone again with big hopes.. And is working again.. yeyyy
But is weird that auto focus and rotation are linked ..

You are probably just missing right apn settings. I suggest check apn settings on another android phone which is on the same carrier as yours and has mms working.

Hi I have installed slim 4.2.1. rc1 official, Andr version 4.2.1 baseband I9300XXELKC. Having troubles with all calls, I cant make any and can't receive neither. On the top left corner appears icon saying that all calls are being forwarded.
What it can be and how to fix it?
Thank you very much advance for an answer :-/
reinstall the rom and it might help
or try unrooting and rooting your phone again and installing the rom again
i'm not a pro i'm still a beginner

Did you follow install instructions properly ie. Format data and system?
Go to call settings and see if the call forwarding option is enabled. If not then reinstall the rom properly or try a different rom

Yes thanks to all - i installed everything the right way and do not have any call forwarding enabled in the menu. The phone has been blacklisted and now i have to reflash it. Does anyone know what exactly should be flushed into my brick ? I bought it on the street cheaper than usually, that's why now I have a problem. Please send me PM if someone has more experience than I do.
If the phone has been black listed then there is nothing you can do apart from learn not to buy dodgy phones from dodgy people on street corners.
You can go to the police and return the phone to the owner, he must be looking for it
In most cases not, since it's usually insurance fraud (especially the ones in boxes with ths stickers still intact)
Why do people buy a 500€ phone on street corners? How about warranty etc?
Samsung does not have to fix your phone, the seller does.

You have already been told,, if it is blacklisted then you can either go to police, report it as stolen/fraudulent and see if they can help you resolve it, or you could get your money back from the seller.

I have a problem and I can't figure out what is wrong. I am running hyperdrive on kt kernel but it happens on other rooms and kernels too. The microphone on my phone keeps cutting out during call. The person I am call than can no longer here me. I am able to get the microphone to work again if I put it into speaker phone Mode and than back to headset mode. Does anybody know what is wrong? Will they send me a updated phone if I send it in for warranty?

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Might recommend a factory reset to her and if that doesn't resolve it, maybe a hardware swap.
I was going to say that aosp is the problem then someone is having same issues with stock, hmm weird on the stock one, as I know the others have the call bug.
Have you guys tried a different kernel or modem?

Yah I have had the same problem on both hyperdrive and slim bean. I have also tried both stock and kt kernel. I did upgrade the modem. I cant remember if I had the same problemon the release modem. Could it be a modem problem? Didn't think of that because it seemed like a microphone issue
I've been having issues on stock also. Its usually when I'm on the phone and sometimes it'll cut out on me and I can't really hear what the person on the other end is saying.

I want to bump this. I am still having this problem. I have even Odin the factory image. Seems like a software problem to me though.
Cuts out
If you turn off the proximity ssensor, the dialpad stays on. When your cheek touches it, the phone will mute, end call, etc.
Can anyone help me to solve my problem
i charge my phone at night but i found it turn off itself
i am using CM 10.1.3 rc2.
Backup your apps, contacts, sms/mms, call log, watsapp and perform factory reset. Afterwards do not restore the backed up apps and see if this happens again.
If it won't shut off at night, restore apps+data.
BTW, I'm currently running the RC2 without major issues.
Oh noes !!!
Clean install of stock, see if the problem persists. If it does, new battery first, change USB board/port if a new battery doesn't fix the problem. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't a 'CM problem', I've always found CM buggy as hell personally (even the 'stable' releases).

So i would not like to try that. I have tried Google play music app. and actually right now all related apps are working fine so that also works fine. I will reply about Google music app when I get the issue again.

yes. and same issue comes in all roms so i think it may be some hardware related issue Or some error which is not getting solved after rom changing also. As you suggested to someone in other thread "strong bootloop" to use script "to remove parts of the phone that may be can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing" , Can i use that type of thing. If so please provide a link for i9100g.
Actually problem starts as:
I was with teamxd rom(samsung based). My memory get filled and i could not delete any file by file manager(ES). I made a factory reset and device got bootloop. Then I install the same Rom again with full wipe. After that i am with this problem in all roms.

You might need to change the USB flex board then. Cheap & easy. Click the link in my signature, from there you can access a guide by @keithross39, where it's explained how to DIY if you choose. Pay careful attention though, there's 4 different versions (revisions) of the board itself, you need the correct one or you'll get issues. Else, just take it to a service centre/local shop to get it replaced.

I would ordinarily say it isn't either. I don't know if it's not that. Regardless, it sounds like you need a new one anyway. Let us know how you go with the repair shop.
As far as I know, the i9100g one will not be compatible with the i9100, as the hardware is different. I don't know how to buy one for an i9100g, I would have said ebay but other than that, I'm not too sure. Sorry to not be of much help.
