So i recently got my S2 a few weeks back. before this had.an Optimus One.
I put my hutch sim in this one and for the past 1 week my bars keep fluctuating between 0 to 4.
Now i am on vodafone and my entire family uses the same.
Neither of them have a problem.
Also I never had a problem on my P500.
Also recently I had received an OTA of about 20mb, still on ICS though.
After that update I have been getting random freezes, cant change lockscreen wallpaper, not even with quickpic. TwWallpaper keeps crashing and this signal trouble.
Adding a few screens.
Taken on the same spot. Also right now my sister is getting constant full bars!

So i was wondering what should I do?
1. Replace my sim?
2. Visit a service center?
3. Rollback the update, if yes, how?
Also I'm on Stock, non-rooted. ICS 4.0.4.
SGS2, send this you must!
Given it's a new phone, your problems have been caused by a carrier pushed update & your warranty is still good, the 2nd option (tho if it were me I'd probably mess with it anyways because I don't really care about warranties).
Re: S2 Network/Update issues.
So most probably its a software issue?
If so I guess I have my reason to root and install a recovery coz even I couldn't care less about warranties..
one thing though, like my P500, once rooted, the root can be reversed as well, right?
Also is there any way without root to rollback this update?
SGS2, send this you must!
Re: S2 Network/Update issues.
Hey vj the signal drop problem is a common issue on Vodafone network if you want you can try to change your s2 modem to see if will gonna improve your signal .
Use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656005
Or you can try to root your phone using this method that I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Then you can try another Rom

thanks man!
I switched to GSM only since 3G plans are way expensive here anyways, also since I'm on wifi usually.
And haven't seen a drop since then, hope it stays so!
Also network issue aside I sometimes find the metal around the camera getting hot while gaming for more than 30-40 minutes.
Is it normal or should I go ahead and flash that modem, since it boasts of nominal temperatures at all uses?
And OT, are you also an ex-P500 user? I seem to remember you seeing around on xda. And I have been on OT & P500 forums only prior to SGS2
that heat is a normal effect for our s2 when we play a game or a movie and if you gonna flash that modem your phone signal will gonna increase and the heat will lower (tested by me)
OT : yes i'm an ex p500 user you'll gonna see some work for it in my signature and an rom port (not in my sig )

We rooted my wife's Eris several weeks back with the above mentioned ROM and it works great around here where we have good Verizon coverage. The issue is that when we travel to areas that don't have great native Verizon coverage, she loses her 3G altogether now and can't do anything using data. Text and calls still work, just not data. It worked prior to rooting it in these same areas.
Any suggestions or settings to check? Thanks in advance!
My first thought is that you have the wrong version of GSB, 3.9 was skipped.
There are known issues with Gingerbread dropping 3G. I recommend searching the boards.
I'm on 3.9 right now
OP have you tried the airplane mode switching on and off trick? And is this fixed by turning the phone off then back on?

Yes, 3.9 is what it says in the Mod version on the phone, so unless that was screwed up it is version 3.9 as far as I can tell.
I have not tried the airplane mode trick as I read about it last night and we are headed up there today for a reunion so I can give it a try. I've not been with my wife the last few times she's been in the area to where this happens so not sure what all she has done to try and fix it. Pretty sure she did restart the phone though with no luck but we'll see.
Please refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11192510&postcount=46
Version 3.9 was skipped. You might want to try a newer version. Not sure where you got 3.9 but based on the above post from workshed 3.9 DOES NOT exist.

Obviously not but where did you download the rom from? Maybe there was an unadvertised 3.9 posted or maybe workshed forgot to change the version number when he updated it to 4.0.
Downloaded straight from the xda app
Sent from my ERIS-ADR6200 using XDA App
It's version 3.8. Workshed mistakenly put 3.9 in the mod version.

Forgot to update this thread...so we were in the area where 3G coverage drops for the wife on Sunday. I took a look at her phone and it mentioned something about International service or some such so I went into her Wireless/Networks under Settings and there was a check box for "International Roaming" so I checked it and it worked just fine!
She just never clicked it because, well, North Carolina isn't so much International! haha
I was having issues with that same version of GSB. Try updating to the latest version of GSB. That fixed my issue at least.

Hey all,
My battery life has gone to sh*t in the last couple days, and I have noticed in my battery usage settings that the top contributor to its demise is always "Shell" (screenshot below).

Here are my specs:
----------------------------
Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T
Cyanogenmod 10.2 (09/22/2013 nightly)
Rooted
Sometimes when I reboot, "Shell" does not appear for a while, but I have not been able to pinpoint what triggers it to start. I tried wiping and reinstalling CM, but it still shows up. The battery drain is so bad, in fact, that unless I use the original wall charger that came with the phone, the battery life still decreases while charging.
I am posting this in general Android questions because I literally have no idea what is causing it. It could be a CM bug, it could be an app I installed that's doing something malicious (Lookout doesn't think so, however), or it could be something else I haven't thought of. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this on any version of Android and get some help debugging. Even if you have ideas for how I can pinpoint the app/service that is causing this, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I am experiencing the same trouble with my LG Nexus 4 with CM 10.2 nightly.
Edit: Actually it was the case with 20131001, but it seems Ok with 20131007.

Yea pretty sure it was a CM bug. I reverted to stable 10.1.3 and haven't seen the issue since. I guess that's what I have to expect for living on the bleeding edge I haven't seen anything about it in the changelogs, but if you say it's fixed, maybe I'll try the latest nightly.

I have a stock Nexus 4 ROM (rooted, but still stock), and I'm seeing 76% in "Shell" today as well, so it's presumably not related to CM.
Stock Nexus 5 and I had 55% drain over 5 hours today... What in the world is causing this? Never had this problem before.
1 day old stock nexus 5 and I'm having this issue...
Here's my post from another thread with screenshots:

Anybody have a solution to this yet?

Hi all,
I am currently using AntonX's unofficial CM11 for the P769, and its great except that like CM10.2 seems to be broken. In CM10.1 it worked perfectly and same with the stock ROM as well. So I decided to pull a few files from the stock Jellybean ROM and create a flashable zip that installs the old files that have to do with GPS. It seems to work pretty well as I was able to get a pretty good fix from a cold start in less than a minute using device only location settings, but it doesn't seem to work nearly as well as CM10.1 and stock. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem (I have already tried using different gps.conf files to no avail)?
Attached below is a screenshot of my latest GPS fix in less than a minute and the flashable zip that I created.
Thanks!

I think your files are the same as the ones already in the ROM.
What's wrong with GPS in CM10.2 or CM11 anyway? It never fails me, I always get a fix within a minute, even on a cold start.
As far as I remember GPS in CM10.1 was a little strange. I think I noticed that sometimes GPSTest was showing yellow bars but accuracy was in hundreds of feet, which actually indicated not a good lock. I may be wrong though, been a while.
Still a Problem

Yeah I think you're right that they're the same files because I was testing GPS again today and it would lock for maybe a second and then if I even moved, it would instantly drop. But this problem is definitely here because on CM10.1 and stock I would instantly have about 13-14 satellites in view, and be able to lock to about 7-9 of them in seconds, whereas now it takes about 1-2 minutes to get 10-12 satellites in view and lock to just five which instantly lose lock when the device is moved about 10ft. This is using the device only method of getting GPS so there is no use of wifi or cell signals to get the location because I have very spotty coverage. I just wanted to point this problem out as I've noticed it on other ROMs too such as BobZHome's CM11.0 and leolawliet's PenberRom5 which is also based on 10.2. Other than this little problem the ROM has been great and I thank you for your work AntonX!
On my P778g, i also noticed a diference between CM10.1.3 and CM10.2/CM11. But after some testing comparing to stock (my father has another p778 with stock rom) i discovered that the only diference is the signal strength: Under a clear sky the GPS works exactly the same but inside a house the roof is too much and the signal seems to be too weak, so it takes a lot more time to fix compared to stock. Keeping in mind that i never use the GPS inside my house this is not a big deal after all. I bet that no one is testing the GPS outside... try it.
If it wasn't winter and I paid my phone bill I'd be happy to go out now and test the GPS on my p769. I'm running omnirom tho, and I don't think it's cm based so I could have different results.
I'll post back here when I get a chance. By the way, the GPS on AOKP wasn't any better.

I am looking at buying this phone just for Pokemon Go. Is anyone currently playing this game and does it lag at all? My concerns are solo and group gym battles. Are they playable? Would anyone be able to get the fps for gym battles? You can use GLTools XDA [root] or FPSMeter Does overheating affect gameplay? Thank you!

Until one tries it, unknown... however since we're theoretically lacking a gyroscope/accelerometer the HUD might be useless... Overheating, maybe, but a couple of tweaks using Kernel Aduitor should help blend performance and keeping things cool...
Works fine
I've been using the honor 5x for a month now, playing pokemon go is fine. Start time is about 20s and it plays smoothly afterwards. Even better than my gf Galaxy note 3 during arena battles.

When initiating a battle it prompts you saying that your phone's orientation is not detected. Unless you turn off AR mode, you cant continue.
If you don't want AR mode, then you can go for it.

One advice, just decrease DPI (or HD resolution) then you can play it without lag

If you are using CM13, your results will be different than running stock Huawei Android EMUI ROM.
I have played Pokemon Go on stock L, stock m, Broken M, CM13 (M)
Stock L is fine.
Stock M is laggy after 20 minutes
Broken M is fine, but laggy after 20mins or turning the screen off
CM13 is fine, but laggy about every 5-10mins.
On all of the above, entering a gym can be stuttery.
Driving down the street (wife driving, not me), the lag is bad enough to not get PokeStops to spin in time (even driving 20mph) about 30% of the time.
If you got this phone and want to play Pokemon Go, I suggest staying on Stock L.
If you are competent with tweaking certain things on your device, I would suggest either CM13 or try to get your hands on Broken M. I have also used AOKP M, and that was perfect. I'm not using AOKP because the one I tested was a private "fun" build- no updates to it.
ALSO
AR Mode works fine on my device regardless as to the ROM I am running. I have never seen any issues with lack of gyroscope. It has always 'just worked'. Perhaps my strange way of updating, downgrading, upgrading my ROM has given it super powers, I don't know. But I can tell you I did upgrade to M without the blobs. Then downgraded to a random ROM... then tried the upgrade again... repeatedly. Then I went full stock L again and took the OTA update... then that locked up, so I installed TWRP and the M backup on this site. Rapid ROM swapping and pasting different boot.img files... might be a dumb thing to do, but I did it.
TL;DR?
I've done so many things wrong and backwards on my device, I wouldn't be surprised if I am unique in my experiences with it. As such, I really do love this p.o.s.
Stock L or Custom ROM is the way to go IMHO.
samsung eye comfort shield adb uninstall package name?
Samsung eye comfort shield keeps enabling after reboot.
I like to uninstall this, does anybody have an idea or know the package name or if it's safe the uninstall through ADB if there is a way to uninstall it?

I've noticed the same issue. Originally I've set it to only turn on during night time, but now it stays turned on, disregarding my time schedule.
Actually the new Android 11 upgrade is not stable for the time being, that apps may not cope well with it (despite Samsung claimed otherwise in the update changelog). Some games performs even worse than on Android 10 with one of my games crashes 9 out of 10 times just trying to enter the main menu...
So I think it's better to hold off this upgrade until the major issues can be addressed. I upgraded to this mainly to hope this might help with some touch-related issues I'm having with previous versions, and am now very disappointed as the tablet feels even worse than before :-(
