Gt-8160L/Ace 2 serious problem. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As seen in the title.. I own a Samsung galaxy ace 2. The problem i am having is that..basically sometimes, turning on my phone, it would boot come on... But every process would crash repeatedly. The phone would not be operable. Only solution would be to restore a backup made via cwm.
This problem doesn't happen every time i restart my phone. It happens when either my batt is low or less than half... And i have to restart for some reason...or if the batt died and i try turning on the phone before the batt level is charged past half.
Not sure whats causing the problem. My phone isn't rooted atm. I only have my kernel changed which is cwm. Os is 2.3.6. GB was previously rooted... But i get boot loops whenever i try to root it now. Thanks in advance.

Go stock unless you are sure of what you are doing. Flashing ROMs with built in Kernels are safer and more garunteeing.

Clockwork Power Off

I noticed that every time I select the power off option from CWM my phone turns back on in like 10 seconds. Anyone else got this?

Which CWM ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
I get that everytime, never minded. Happens to me with both cwm4 and cwm5 on stock KP3, ddqk8 and stock based roms. Never tried doing it on cm based roms.
yeah, happen to me too.
I'm using this version of CWM.

Umm... no. Its not. For it to happen to a lot of people on different roms and kernels? You really think its a kernel issue?
It's probably an issue with cwm and it's also probably related to the type of kernel. To say the truth, I don't think it's that big a deal. It has posed no real problems to me when flashing, and if anything, removing the battery will do the trick. A minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect tool.
yes, i encountered this issue too. I wonder how to turn off phone from recovery without take out battery
But NOT big deal for me

Its not a big deal, but its annoying. You'll have to wait till your phone boots to be able to turn it off. Taking off the case, then taking off the battery cover and taking out the battery is a lot of work to just turn your phone off.

You are completely right. However, it's a free tool.
I mean, even the stock Samsung firmware gives Fc and issues every now and then and they do get paid by us users (both on acquisition and through Google adds, and free marketing data)

Not on the Ace. If you hold the power button, it'll reboot and not power off.
me too
it happens to me on the official CWM 4.0.0.9

Can't power off my phone!

My wife SG2 (international )it's running miui rom 2.3.9 from a long time and I never realize that if I try to turn it off it's just reboot, i try taking the battery out but when i putt it back once again the phone turn on, have anyone encounter this? What can i do?

I had this problem before, but apparently not was a hardware problem from me. Other than this, and my phone kept on showing that it was being charged while unplugged, and and also showed weird signs (warning triangle with a thermometer). A visit to the Samsung customer care solved it when they fixed the circuit board.

-flash another ROM, possibly ICS ROM (power off issue should be relieved after)
-then use triangle away app to clear the yellow triangle. Download here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114

Hve u tried changing the kernel and seen for now
You probably have done something else your phone will not behave this way. I have an S2 since day one and despite numerous hacking & ROM/kernel change, I have yet to experience anything like what you had posted. Another possible explanation is a weakening battery.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
well here are some possible solutions
1. Your battery was faulty meaning the one you bought was faulty bt worked for abt some charges
2. You have to many applications installed running in the background (keep the ones u only need)
3. try reseting battery gauage
4. you are charging ur phone while using applications and games which doesnt give efficient charging
5. Try airpush app to see weather there apps which are ad supported and remove them
6. try another jb rom with the latest siyah kernel which is currently in beta
try battery calibrate app
try installing betterbatterystats app (search on google play) and give a couple of cycles and then compare the log while changing/trying different kernels, and see which one works better for you.
make sure that you are not a victim of the media scanner issue:

Hope you meant "5 hours non-stop browsing with 3g" or else you got a serious battery problem.

Sleep of death on ICS 4.0.4 with Wake Lock on

I bought my s2, unlocked version, 1 month ago and a week later, it started shutting off when the screen was turned off or when I put it in my bag and moved around. I searched around and found it's called sleep of death. But none of the solutions worked. My phone is on ICS 4.0.4 and it is rooted. So far, I have tried 1. the clock app trick
2. disabling sumsung apps
3. load monitor app installed with wake lock on
It still goes into deep sleep only revivable by long press on power button. What is worse is that the battery drain, which was only one to two percent becomes a massive drop from 80 to 20 percent. It only happens when the phone is left unused for a while. No intereference with phone calls and messages yet. Service and such are also unreliable in myanmar. Anyone here has any suggestions? I'm at my wits end. Will a manual update to Jellybean solve this problem?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know if you want to stay "stock rooted", but my advice is to get as far away from 4.0.4 as possible.....
You have a number of options....
If you want to stay as close to stock as possible, get Moblie Odin pro from playstore and flash a firmware...either 4.0.3, or something newer than 4.0.4....
Or.....
Go the custom route....
Download cm9, cm10 or cm10.1 and a compatible kernel....Siyah, Dorimanx or Philz....all available on XDA, and use CWM (if it came with your root) to flash the kernel (first), do your required wipes (second) and flash your chosen cusROM and associated GApps (third). Just get away from 4.0.4.....fast. And for your phones wellbeing, just DON'T wipe data while you're on the 4.0.4 kernel....the brickbug may not have happened this time....but that's not a guarantee it won't happen next time......

That's what I'm currently running....if you do get mobile odin pro (paid version) it will inject your root privileges into the stock firmware and perform a safe wipe as well.....

Not to sound too ignorant (but I am an absolute novice), what happen to the old root? Will the phone become unrooted on upgrade? I don't mind rooting again. Just not too sure about it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
You will lose root when flashing a new stock ROM.
The only way to "keep" root is by flashing a pre-rooted ROM or by flashing via Mobile Odin Pro.
Sent from the little guy
Yeah....if/when you use M.O.P to flash the firmware, make sure that the "everroot" option is ticked and root will be kept.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I thought rooting might somehow interfere with the upgrade. Silly me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Well, as I said, it'll "keep" root.
Both pre rooted ROM and M.O will root the new ROM while flashing it.
So yes, your guess was right, you'll always lose root when flashing a new ROM, these ways we mentioned gets you rooted again.

Flashed stock JB yesterday. So far no sod. And the battery is running fine. Hopefully this will be the end of my problems.

How did you get on with Stock JB and SOD? I'm using RootBox, and it seems that no matter what i try i still get an occasional SOD.
I am still doing fine with stock JB. Wish I could give you a better answer but I'm not very good with technologies myself. Hope you find a solution soon.

HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.

Since yesterday I am facing this problem.
Last evening the touchscreen of my phone just stopped responding. It happened so: all of the sudden the touch wouldn't respond. Pressing the power button to switch of the screen for sleep mode was not happening. The last thing I had done was pull down the notification bar so that so it was stuck there. I pressed and held the power button to restart and it worked fine. After a few hours again it happened. Restarted again. Worked. But now everytime its happening. It stops responding. I restart then it works for 2-3 minutes and stops responding and again Ihave to restart and again it stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried going into recovery mode and download mode and it enter and it charges properly also.
Also, last night I switched the phone off and I left it on charge annotd today morning when I switched it on the problem is still there.
please help me out
My galaxy s3 is rooted and its running on stock rom 4.1.2 and siryah kernel.
Is it a hardware problem or software? What can be done?
Another thing just happened now. It stopped responding while I was watching a video on youtube. The screen didnt respond but the video was working and after a while the video stopped but the audio was still playing!

Its not 4.2 It's 4.1.2 Using the official one. And I have been using the siyah kernel for over a month now. Never seemed to cause a problem and never updated anything.
And no I didnt take out the battery. I just kept it switched off. Anyway I will do that too now.

Okay....so you did nothing? Perhaps you're stressing the cpu/gpu too much and kernel does not totally support 4.2.x yet....try flashing perseus kernel also, it cant hurt...

Should I flash stock firmwire then try rooting it again and then flash the kernel?
The thing is I used to use my phone while on charge. A friend says the circuits must have gone haywire but this doesn't seems like a hardware problem.

If u use your phone while on charge that only harms the battery (it will make it last less...but it is inevitable anyways who dooesnt use phone whike on charge)...
What would be the very best option would be to factory reset through recovery (u have clockworkmod right?) (U can save apps with titanium backup) and flash a new rom and THEN a new kernel.
If you flash foxhound it comes with kernel already backed.
BUT before doing this (nobody likes to start off fresh) just try flashing another kernel first(or try and get an updated version of siyah kernel, maybe you got the s2 variant, which has a higher build version than the s3, making it look obsolete).
