My GF's S2 sometimes dies when it is idle and not being used. She must restart the phone again to use it. The phone is a couple of months new and she already sent it back to Samsung for repair but all they did was reinstall the stock version alll over again. I have tried flashing a custom 4.2.2 ROM but the issue persists. Any ideas what could be causing this issue and what should she do next ?
White Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
Baseband: I9100BOLP7
Stock ROM 4.0.4 (T-Mobile branding)
If reinstalling the ROM (and kernel? or not?) didn't help, then it's a hardware issue. Insist to get another, functioning device.

Hi Guys.
I had my galaxy s2 replaced about 6 months ago after it got stolen.
I had 3 replacements until i got my last one which i still have.
The details:
Network: Three UK
Originally received the phone on: 2.3.6 XWKK2
At the time i tried to upgrade the firmware to ICS, but it wouldn't let me saying none was available either over air or through Keis.
So i took to the forums, and found that the firmware for this version was listed as Opus Australia.
Eventually i found some fware that worked: I9100XWLP7 Baseband Version:I9100XXLPS. Android 4.0.3
I have recently been having a few problems with my phone:
1. It crashes sometimes when i try to type a message: Unfortunately, MAPServiceSamsung has stopped,
2. When i try turn the wireless on sometimes it doesn't come on, the screen doesn't come on again and needs restarting
3. When i try turn wifi tethering on it needs a restart?
So, i was initially thinking of a version of ROM that was generic UK 4.0.3 , so that i can naturally upgrade to 4.1.2 when it finally gets to the UK.
Then i found 4.0.4 which i discounted because of a thread that said it could brick the phone if i used the wrong kernell (i am no techy).
So does anyone know of a good rom i can use that is generic UK either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 that i can fix my phone with?
Also how do i find out what CSC my phone is on? so i can replace that too?
Thanks

Hi thanks for your response. I have looked on there, but cant seem to find the correct 4.0.3 version.
There's a thread in original android development with many stock ROMs.
The OP is from the supernexus dev.
You can find it easily by looking at his threads.

Hey guys,
My mom got herself a Galaxy S2 a month ago, but it seems to be suffering from SOD. Now I googled and I haven't found any fix for this even though the phone is very popular. Is it a hardware problem? At the shop they offered her to send it to samsung but if it's a software issue (like on my galaxy ace) that's not gonna help. She's on Android ICS 4.0.4, can't remember the firmware anymore (something ending in D i think). The phone's not sim locked or anything so I could flash firmware myself but i prefer not to since it's not my device. Any help would be appreciated.
can you get the phone into Download mode ?
(vol.down-home-power)
if so you should grab a firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with odin.
if it not goes into Download mode you could get an usb jig and try to force it into Download mode.

Hello,
i recently bought a galaxy s2 i9100 with 4.0.3
a week later the gps stop finding any sats,
i took the phone to the nearest phone lab and there i found out it was converted SHW M250S to i9100
they even switched the imei to a i9100 one!
i started seeking this forum for information about this,
tried switching firmwares and kernels, and even stock version 4.1.2, and of course a lot of gps problems guide in here but i couldnt get it to work.
my question is how can i know if the gps problem is hardware\software problem?
is there a chance that going back to SHW M250S firmware would solve this issue?
and of course, if i would need to change the gps part, are the i9100 gps part is the same as the korean version??
thx for the help.
plsss helpppp

Hi,
I have Korean Samsung Galaxy S3.
Model number: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.1.9
It's been 1 year using it. First 7 to 8 months it worked fine but suddenly I don't know what happened to it. It's loosing battery power very speedily. Prior battery took 1 or 1(1/2) day to drain completely but now it takes only 3 to 4 hours and gets drain completely. I searched a lot on internet but nothing helped.
I took it to repair shop and he said phone, charging port and battery is fine, so no idea what happened to it.
I purchased a new battery and used with it but same results.
It is very frustrating situation. Please anybody suggest me any solution?
I talked to somebody and he said there may be a OS issue so I hard reset it but same results. Then he suggested me to update its OS version. Now I am trying to find the latest firmware update for Korean Galaxy S3 phone. Kindly help me to find that firmware and the complete procedure to install that firmware on Korean Galaxy S3?
I would be very thankful to you for any solution.
Thanks.
