Did you buy the i9100G vampire edition?
Jokes apart..if its hanging under sunlight, its probably overheating or if you've enabled auto-brightness, some problem with that. Try holding a flashlight on the light sensor and see if it hangs when the screen brightness changes.
I don't know if its a common occurrence with the G version. You could try asking in the i9100G forum. Might find someone with a similar problem.
Good luck :thumbup:

Thank you for the reply, i think it is the problem of auto brightness. I have unchecked the auto brightness option and i think it is woking fine.
I think it is software related problem, is there any way of rectifying it.

Couldn't have put it better myself
Also, yours is a G variant. Be careful if flashing firmware. Ensure you have the firmware for your variant itself. You can download it from sammobile.com

Yes . i also face the same problem with you . when the phone is exposed under bright sunlight . it will hang at the lockscreen . even when im using cm10 . any solution ?

Fixed!
Hello, i was having the annoying problem with freezing touch screen when my phone was in bright sunlight. After 2 months of experiment... I found the solution. I really hope that will work for you guys as well.
So the only thing i did after installing ALL the custom roms and kernels available i did found the Gold one
I download the latest Official "Iran" ICS build for i9100g from sammobile.
Details>Iran 2012 October Android 4.0.4 I9100GJPLPB I9100GOJPLP7
And now my phone is not afraid of sun again Good luck guys let me know if it works for you too. :fingers-crossed:

same issue
Actually I loaded the Morocco firmware which is 4.0.4 also but still have the same issue ....!!!!!!!!! Could anybody confirm if it is totally solved in Iran's firmware !!!!

Get it replaced or flash with custom kernel\ custom roms !
Try flashing with a new kernel/rom. I do not think that any software could repair your problem. TBH I tend to think that your device is faulted and your best option would be to return it to the seller and demand a new device...
This topic got resurrected!
Can u guys suggest me a rom that can repair the yellowish screen.

I have had this problem since i have had the phone (about a year) it has definatly got better and is definatly not there all the time any more. I find it happens when i turn the phone on after being off for over an hour for some reason. It used to be there all the time on my phone exept when the brightness was turned right up.

How to calibrate our accelerometer? Not gyroscope

So bad... there used to be an option to do so in I9100 but no in our I9300. I tried the command stuff and tried to modify the Akmd_se.txt under data/misc but still no luck.
I switched to I9300 from I9250 because of accelerometer problems, so bad if I'll be fourced to switch again. It seemed to be related with kernels but I lack enough info. Any clue will be appreciated.

Sound Problems During Calls

Hello guys,
After my HTC wildfire S, I bought iCrap and since I got used to use Android, I sold it and bought Galaxy S3 :good: However, I have a big problem During calls people cannot hear my voice. I updated the latest version, but still there is a problem during calls. I dont know how to solve it. I think it s a OS problem and it s going to be OK after JB, but I am not sure. Could anyone help me to overcome this problem I will be really appreciate :fingers-crossed:
flash some different basedbands and see if it helps
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Try to set your phone in GSM mode only instead of wcdma and check your connections. Maybe this will help you.
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
I actually find my S3 to have generally brilliant call quality. I've come from a 4s and it's much louder and clearer than that was.

Your phone should works out of the box. Since you are not rooted. Get Sammy to fix it.
Do factory reset 1st to ensure is not apps related

Am getting similar msgs about a running game whatever..... It must b some application i installed which pushes such ads or adware...... How can i know which app? Nd by the way dont know if it is wifi on off related but rather happens when internet source is toggled..... Wifi/3g etc.... Task manager shows no application running....
I asked my (Chinese) wife, it means "The Internet connection was changed".
I don't see any pics man
A quick look at logcat will probably tell you the offending app or process.
It means way of connection to the internet has changed in Chinese
I had a similar issue to this on a UK firmware with an SGS2 and when wifi was enabled it used to display a Korean message, I think there maybe some non-translated strings in this area.
Here is the text if you need it:-
網絡連接狀態改變
So do u guys know how to fixed it?

Well, there is no "issue" except that they've forgotten to translate a string of text somewhere saying "your internet connection changed" as previously stated. This notification is correct.
If you don't want to root it or flash different firmware you'll have to live with it for now.

[Q] Sudden battery drain in 2-3 hrs and wifi not scanning

Hi Guys! I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G INDIA model. After more than one year of use suddenly it started working weird.
1. Full 100% charging getting discharged to 0% in 2-3 hrs(99% phone is put on standby mode - not using for anything)
2. When I enable WiFi it is not able to scan. I repeatedly clicked on scan but it is not showing any progress of scanning and not listing my home WiFi network
I have tried:
1. Battery recalibration - no use
2. Factory reset - no use
3. Hard reset - no use
Can somebody help me with this? Is there a way to check that WiFi chip failed or not Or it's an issue with firmware(4.1.2)?

How can we change baseband? You mean by flashing a custom ROM? Please guide me....
I went to service center to know about the issue. He was just re-installed stock ROM by rooting the device even not hearing to my problem. When I say WIFI scanning is not working he turned on WiFi and was saying it's working. But I told him to let the phone scan for any WiFi hotspots close by(My friend phone SIII able to list all available hotspots). He then pressed scan and was saying motherboard was gone. Is that true? How can he say blindly even not checking until I tell him to check the WiFi.
If I need to change the motherboard how much does it costs in INDIA? and does it carries any warranty?

firstly, you should be rooted to change the baseband.
If you are rooted that find any compatible baseband of your rom version and flash the zip file through recovery.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, it is costly affair. Before coming to the conclusion of motherboard being damaged, lets first try all possible options. I don't see the motherboard issue here.
PM me your rom details and i will find a baseband for you.

As suggested I have rooted this and flashed custom ROM - cyanogenmod 10.1
No luck WIFI not working... seems motherboard issue
Can we buy motherboard separately in India? Does it carries any warranty?

Check your local area market for a used motherboard as going for a new one will cost you heavy.
I dont thing it will carry warrenty unless you send it to samsung for repair

No, I am planning to go for samsung service center and get the motherboard replaced. When I called them they confirmed that motherboard will carry 3 months warranty. So, I thought it's better to go for warranty piece.

My advise wud be to see some local repair shop as it might be a loose connection and would not need the replacement. No harm in getting it checked as he will not ask more than 200-300 rs. If still u find it did not work go for motherboard replacement from samsung.
Btw how much did they asked you for motherboard
