[Q] Insane Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have seen a ton of issues close to mine but the one that matches it didn't have any replies. This is the closest device to mine so I am posting it here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 D710VMUB. I have it rooted using the one click method. I have been using Superuser, Titanium Backup Pro, Terminal Emulator, Busy Box, and Triangle Away. Before I rooted, I could transfer Google Play apps to my SD card. Once I rooted it came to a screaching halt. I have tried transferring the apps using Titanium, using the normal "Manage Apps" and clicking "Move to SD Card". It loads for about 10 seconds and then always says, exactly, "Unable to move app." I have reset the phone several times, cleared Davlik. The only option I can think of is to unroot the device which I do not want to do. I don't even know how to unroot because I have never had an issue with a XDA root. I love the stuff I get from XDA and I have turned on many buddies to this site. But now I am stuck. Everything else seems to be working perfectly. Sorry if this is long but I wanted to provide as much info as possible as to avoid you all having to ask questions to get some of this info. Thanks everyone, can someone please help? I must be missing something.

Chose the root directory on settings before to make a backup. Don't make one and after try to repair.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure how that relates to my issue. As far as a backup goes, my phone gets backed up everytime I connect to my computer which is 2 or 3 times a week. I'm no rookie, just stumped. But if I need to go back it's not an issue. Now that I have deleted all the bloatware I would rather unroot than restore anyway. That was a lot of crap to uninstall.

Galaxy S2 freezing up

Hi folks,
My galaxy s2 has frozen up on me about 5 times now as if a process has stopped responding and killed it. I need to press and hold the power button until it restarts to get it going again.
The phone is running stock firmware which I updates yesterday via kies. Hope someone can help!
Thanks

If you have root run locate . If you don't got root access u can use watchdog to se if there are some apps chasing the freezing. http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.zomut.watchdog
Thanks ill give watchdog a go (not rooted) .

You could also back up data and try a factory reset .

Faulty GS2 from Three
I have just received my new GS2 from Three UK today. Phone freezes when I try to film video. Have to keep power button pressed for about 10 seconds to turn off and restart. It also freezes when I try using voice commands.
I called Three and they will send another phone. I was lucky I noticed the problem before rooting th e phone. Another annoyance is the fact they bloat the phone with apps you cannot uninstall, so a generic ROM is definitely needed, unless you want to keep their included apps.
I believe this is due to a faulty unit as it happened to me right out of the box, no rooting, no apps installed, no nothing. Continuously freezing on me. I'm returning the handset tomorrow.
You could always freeze the bloatware with titanium backup pro its well worthit
Amd even uninstall them if u really dont want them

Can anyone provide more details on this?
Is it a command run from Terminal, in the phone? What are the parameters?
(or at least what search keywords can I use in Google?)

[Q] "Wi-Fi sharing" and Wi-Fi sharing manager"? Not needed for normal WiFi usage?

[Q] "Wi-Fi sharing" and Wi-Fi sharing manager"? Not needed for normal WiFi usage?
I find these 2 "Wi-Fi sharring" things running usually.
Sometimes they even rank quite highly in battery usage.
But I only use WiFi as a normal client for internet access, never for tethering, so I can stop those "WiFi sharing" processes?
Did Samsung/Android unintentionally mix up the naming of processes?
Has any one else ever seen "Wi-Fi sharing" rank highly in battery usage, even though he/she only uses WiFi for the phone's own internet access?
I have this exact same problem with the Wi-Fi sharing running in the background & draining my battery completely!! Still haven't switched over completely to this phone yet because of this & really hoping I can find a fix for it.
I've seen this mentioned in other threads but most of them talk about rooting the phone to achieve the solution.
Is there any other option for stock users? I can't believe Samsung would expect everyone to do that!!!
It's driving me insane. The battery is completely dead by the mid day! Thankfully I haven't completely switched over from my trusty Desire HD just yet. But am aching to use the SGS2 if there's an easy fix for this.
Anyone have a solution that doesn't involve rooting the phone?
Big thanks in adavance and apologies if this has been discussed already but all the threads I found only involved rooting.
Cheers,
AndroidFreud.

What exactly did you remove & how?
Also does this remove any other functionality that you may need later on?

Wifi sharing comes up once every time I stop charging it. (takes 30 min before it starts) I kill it once and it does not reactivate until I next charge the phone.

you can remove it using titanium backup.
these 2 have no effect on the rest of the regular wifi functionality.its for connecting to the pc through WIFI.
they will appear as long as the WIFI is on
you can use titanium back up to back it up and remove them. in case you will need it you can restore it.so theres no harm. try it.
hope that i helped with it

Yes the backup will only work with a rooted phone

So there's no way of fixing this on a stock Rom unless I go for root!?!?!
Possible with My Backup Pro?
any news of an official update
I tried checking to see if there were any software updates for the first time and after.signing up all it's saying is connection failed!

Flashing my firmware to KF3 fixed this for me.
Previously I was on KE7, and had this problem.
I flashed KG1 and this is not an issue at all anymore either. If you don't feel like flashing, you can use Titanium and freeze both the sharing and sharing manager with no side effects from what I can tell. I am assuming wi-fi sharing would be convenient if you could share between two mobile devices using wi-fi but not if its a bug as it was in earlier firmware builds.
I used Titanium Backup to freeze those 2 apps. Very glad to hear that the KG1 does not have this issue anymore.

I did the same too.
Apologies, I'm a noob to this. I understood using titanium backup would mean you would have to have root. Is this not correct?
I've only recently got this phone & am on the stock rom. I'd prefer not to root a it would void my warranty.
Is flashing any different? I also have a desire hd & haven't had to deal with any of that. How would I go about it?
Sorry again for all the noob questions. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Well, you might lose the warranty if you are not using a tiny jig . The point is that you can flash custom roms / kernels, etc as much as you want, and if you brick you phone, just insert the jig and everything goes back to normal. But you will have to flash the stock rom / kernel though. But if you want root (more acces to your device) you can do it without changing f/w or anything else. Is good to have root especially for titanium backup imo. With paid version of this app you can even freeze things you don't use everyday or anything else (e.g. wifi sharing).
(sorry for the bad english, but I hope I was helpful)
Thanks for the quick reply.
What's a 'tiny jig'? And do you have any link on how to go about flashing? Will also do a quick search on this. Thanks again.
I'm just finding it incredible that Samsung would expect their users to go this route instead of via an update?! Arent any other users experiencing this?
I tried updating through About Phone> Software updates> but it always says connecting and then connection failed so have not been able to see if that works.
Thanks again for all the help.
UPDATE: Ok did a little searching and came across this which answers most my noob questions. Going to try it out.
Here's the link in case anyone else had the same questions

You can also search xda to find how to do anything to your phone . This is the "tiny" jig
Ok so that method earlier mentioned apparently will void the warranty so I'm back to square one again.
So has anyone out there been able to fix this on a stock rom? Anyone who got an official update from samsung that actually fixes it?
Everyday I return home to a completely battery drained phone. Not sure how good this is for the battery life. desperately need help here!

[Q] Android Phone does not respond after ending call.

Hi,
I am using commitva z71 category phone. (motorola quench xt3 xt502).
I had been using cyanogenmod roms on it. presently i have CM 7.1 EAV 7.2. The roms usually came with ADW launcher as default. But one problem I have been facing is that some times my phone does not respond to press of any button, not even power button after ending a call. The screen however goes off and does not light up.
I have to either remove the battery, replace it and restart or I have to make a call to my phone from another phone. When I give a missed call, the phone gets activated. But when I press Menu button, it brings up the keyboard instead of Menu.
This problem has been persisting whichever version of CM Rom I have been using.
The problem aggravates when I use Go Launcher as my default launcher by using Launcher Switcher. When I use ADW as default lanucher but have Go Launcher also on my phone, sometimes the defaults are cleared and I am asked to choose the launcher to finish the task of closing phone app.
Initially, I thought this was the problem of default phone app. So I tried dialer one from play store, but to no avail.
How can I solve this? Please help me. This is very embarrassing especially when I am using my phone in public places.
Is there a way to delete the ADW launcher that comes with the custom ROM?
This is the only problem and I am very much annoyed with it.
Some body please help me.
just try downloading some other launcher from the store and installing buddy.
it should help
Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store. You can then remove anything you want. But a word of advice, before you start deleting / removing things make sure you do a Nandroid backup. Also backup the app with Titanium Backup, or both. Just as a safety measure. Are you Overclocked?

Yes I know TB has issues with restoring System Apps. ADW is not a System App. Also as a general rule it is a bad idea to restore any System App with TB. I was refering to using it to remove Bloat, or unused apps.

I downloaded go launcher and made it default but I can't understand how to remove it.. Is there any other way to remove adw..??
Mav.erik is correct. TB restores any app from system rom.

Yes TB will restore any app, including System Apps. But that does not mean you should. Restoring System Apps causes issues.

I had the same problem with my phone freezing or not responding after a call. Fixed it by removing all bloatware on my android that was running in the background.

Titanium/Dropbox/Slow Phone/ZDbox Questions!

Hi there. I have a couple of questions to ask about my GalaxyS3. GT-19300. Android version 4.1.1. Baseband version 19300BUDL12. Kernel version 3.0.31-256827.
Firstly after what seems like days & days of 'research' I finally plucked up the courage to root my phone, hoping to rid myself of all the bloatware. For a complete newbie like me it was quite daunting really but once I did it, it seemed fairly easy enough? I have installed Nobloat but have not yet used it as I have a few issues that I need resolving?
Anyway since rooting I have downloaded TitaniumBackup & hopefully backed up my files? It took me hours & hours to find out how/where to save it to my external sd card? I am still unsure if I've managed to back up absolutely everything ie; texts & so on? Here is my first question, I have tried to sync my backup to my dropbox but while its 'uploading' it suddenly stops & says stopped because of 'internal error'? What does this mean & why is it happening & what can I do about it?
My next question is since I've rooted my phone, it as gone very very slow, in everything it does, even in my messages it shows the number for 5seconds or so before it actually changes to the contacts name? Is there a reason why my phone is so slow?
My next question is, I think, maybe related. I have ZDbox installed & now when I go to clear/use task killer, my phone reboots? Is there e reason for this & have I done something wrong or am I missing something silly?
I know there are quite a few question here & I have looked & used the search button but I obviously can't see for looking & I have spent a large chunk of time researching/looking for answers?
Anyhow thank you for reading my many questions & hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? It is quite daunting messing with your expensive phone knowing thjat you could potentially 'brick' it!! :fingers-crossed:
Regards Jay
Can't answer all your questions but tb doesn't back up your texts. There are other apps that back up texts without needing root. It only backs up apps and app data. With regards to your dropbox sync, you might have put in the wrong login details? I used it for a while and it was fine.
As for the phone slowing down, try backing everything and do a complete wipe.

Thanks for the quick response:good:. I shall look into the apps that can backup/save texts. I never thought to look there to be honest!!
With regard to my Dropbox, I definitely have the correct log in details, like I say, it gets to about 30% uploaded then comes up with 'internal error'!?
Also would that be a factory reset when you mention complete wipe? Would I then need to download Titanium again to restore my phone to near enough what it is now?
Jay
Back up everything you can, put it safe somewhere else (external sd or pc). Go into recovery and do a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik cache) and reboot. You'll have to set everything up again (login details and etc), but seems like it's the only option afaik.

Sorry to bump this!! I think I know why my phone is so slow, looking through other threads it must be my JB update? (I hope?) So hopefully this will be sorted as soon as my other problem is resolved..... My missing photo? as per my other thread!!
Why not try flashing another rom. Remeber to backup all your files to your pc.

I have only just plucked up the courage to root my phone!!!!! never mind 'flash a new rom' !!!!!!
I'm starting to go crazy with looking at all the various information for hours on end & seemingly getting nowhere & no closer to flashing a new rom?
Now then, funny thing is, my phone has mysteriously gone back to being fairly fast again?? Again I don't know what's happened to revert it back? So at least that's one of my problems sorted :good:
Oh & my other thread about my missing photo as been resolved, I had backed my phone up quite a while back & found it in some old files on an external hard drive, yipeee!!

Unfortunately Music has stopped working

I rooted a about a week ago and like 3 days later I got this message whenever I tried to use the Music app that's built in. Since I couldn't restore it or anything I decided to restore the phone to factory default and start all over again. Then I rooted once again and about 3 days later I started to have the same issue, same error. Now Im using google music, but I dont like it and I can't seem to find a way to restore it.
Im running VRUAME7 update, backed everything up with titanium, but when I try to restore the app it doesnt work, I deleted bloatware from the music, but was very careful about not deleting anything that could affect the Music app, so I'm not sure what's going on, and hope that I can find an answer here.
By the way who is the maker of the Music app, I couldn't find it anywhere, but I don't think that it is Samsung.
Anyways, thanks.

Hi ??
1.open /system
2.create a folder with this name=>preload
3.cut your smusic folder which exists in app or prive-app and paste it into preload folder
4.delete the lib and arm folder in smusic folder
5.if the music folder and its app have another name, rename both into smusic.pay attention that they need to have similar names.
6.this method only works in Rooted devices.
7.reboot your device and enjoy ☺ ☺
