Hey guys. Im gonna try to make this short and sweet as it's 9AM and I havent gone to bed, not because of the phone but because I just finished my night shift.
Anyways the problem is that recently my phone stopped having sound. Like 0 sound. I can call people but I can't hear anything. I tried doing a normal recovery through settings. And it fixed it, for about 30 seconds. So what I did is I got a stock Rogers firmware and deleted EVERYTHING. I reinstated a firmware, pit file, etc and it STILL doesnt work. I think I've done everything thats possible by even using another stock Rogers ROM other than mine. Could be as stupid as being my SIM card? lol.
Any suggestions?
Worse case scenario: Reset to stock recovery, reset flash counter, send in for exchange. (Still under warranty) I wanted to try and fix this myself as it can take a few days to get the new phone
And now
When I am sending an SMS it takes a horribly long time for text to appear (Lag?) Like Ill take a few letters the phone will freeze, and if I keep pressing the letters, they'll all appear 3-4 seconds later when it unfreezes.
Call audio was a problem that was fixed by switching to a new kernel for me. I can suggest 4Aces, but flappjaxxx might work for you too.
For sms.... Maybe try a new keyboard? Or reboot if you haven't in a while to clear Ram. Last possible suggestion is over clock.
Don't know if this will work 100%, but hopefully it will help a little

Hello folks of XDA,
I came here because I have not heard any response on the MIUI forums and UI guess is because the community over there is not as big.
Anywayas, I flashed 1.8.5 MIUI, and I suddenly could not see the screen after I dialed a phone number. Then I also noticed that I could not see the answer screen when someone called me.
Everything else worked like a charm, so I thought to myself, well, maybe I have not been back on JFD for a while, so I went ahead and restored the phone back to stock, follow even the MIUI procedure for the massive JFD restore, and it does not matter.... Any Rom from stock to MIUI or CM7.1 all give me the same problem or an app force close, of phone freeze. I can hear the person on the other side if I call, but there is no human way I can answer the phone.
I believe the phone.apk might be the problem, but after trying to do all kinds of factory reset and format, I am still in the same place.
So my first question is, is there a way to fully format the phone and put it with stock apps. Like out of the box? using CWM gives you the option to format the mount points, but I am afraid to format everything and then have a true bricked phone.
Any comments suggestions, questions, please let me know. I been working on this for 2 days now with no avail.
Bump. I have no phone, so it is very frustrating
So I called tech support and see if they had any idea of what could it be. in the end I am back on stock, so what more harm can I do to it right? Well the tech said something that really leave me thinking. He said that the proximity sensor could be damaged. Now that makes a lot of sense, in the end the phone is already somewhat old and I have had my mishaps dropping it from time to time, but luckly no scuffs on it. What do you guys think?
This though is gonna mean that I have to go get me a new phone today ....
I have searched and searched, but can not find what seems to be an applicable fix, so here goes.
Ok here is my best description. Equipment: Rooted vibrant. The plot: Rooted. Ran fine for months. Yesterday purchased Rom Manager premium. Installed one of the premium roms. Can't remember the name of the rom. After install everything worked fine except I kept getting the error, "com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" so I tried everything I could find related to that problem to fix it, but nothing worked. As a symptom the market, gmail, etc wouldn't work. Anyway I figured I'd just recover the last rom that I backed up and start over. So I did, but now the phone boots, goes to the "draw pattern to unlock screen" and won't recognize the fact that I'm actually drawing the pattern to unlock the screen. The "buttons" on the bottom of the screen recognize my touch (menu, home, search, back) as they darken when touching them.
So there the phone sits on the unlock screen. After a minute or two the screen goes blank, the phone vibrates once, and the unlock screen comes back and won't accept any input.
Is this fix applicable, or would it work in bringing my phone back to me?

I want to make sure as I don't want to further exacerbate the uselessness of my phone. I feel like I've lost a limb with it gone.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry to hear you found the worst gremlin of all. I'll get that from time to time when my phone feels like being stupid. Lucky for me, I can just reboot the phone, and she's back to normal.
As far your situation is concerned, I would probably try to use Odin and flash your phone back to stock so you can build it back up to whatever ROM you're on. This usually happens when you bounce back and forth between a froyo and GB ROM; or a ROM from a different dev that's used a different framework to make all his stuff work.
Jump into the link in my sig, and see if you can find the files you need. Otherwise, shoot me a message so I can link you to the files I use to go back to stock pre-rooted.
Lol, did you try this?

OK. The sticky worked. I admit I panicked, but IT WORKS NOW!! I'm just ecstatic! You guys rule.
I guess I was just gun shy. I bricked the snot out of my my-touch a year ago (still doesn't work).
Anyway, on to hacking.
Thanks again!
Awesome! Glad you got it werkin
Next time just try a simple Google search of the error itself.
*EDIT*
If you still have the mytouch I'd be interested in it. PM me if so
Yeah I tried to google the problem, but I was still stuck. None of the fixes seemed to work. Until google led me here.
I do still have the my touch. Mint condition, minus the fact it doesn't work! I'd like to get it working again if possible. Is there a way to odin the my touch? I tried and tried last year when I bricked it, but I never got it to work again. Is there a my touch forum here somewhere named something other than "my touch"?

Guyz,
I recently lost my samsung guru on my way to office and then I had to switch back the old galaxy i7500 lying around for months. It was still alive and had recently been services(the touchscreen) by the authorized service centre.
I am comfortable with recovery/rom and before sending it to service I had galaxo 1.6(the latest stable back then) on my phone. I even had some(3 to be exact) nandroid backups on my phone. After it returned from the service centre it started acting strange. Now the problem begins.
It looks & works completely fine until I call somebody. Then something just starts running in the background, random keypresses, some random application starts, and I see the volume bar all the time as some continuous volume up command is given, I presume. It just goes on like this during the entire call and even a few seconds after the call. Another problem is it silents my phone every time someone calls me, so no matter what I set in the settings I never ever hear a ring when someone calls me, even the vibration gets off.
Solutions I tried: Obviously I tried formatting the storage(it doesn't have any external storage). Flashing the ROM, changing the ROM, drakaz 2.1, recovery 6.6 etc. Nothing helped, I even tried(with some workaround) and got the old nandroid backup restored . .. but to no avail. I have currently Kaspersky installed on my phone but even it can not detect anything. I have not given odin a try yet as I am on Mac and currently not very comfortable with heimdall.
I must thank you for reading this long post of mine & appreciate any little help any of you can offer, even some sympathy will do.
Thanks in advance,
Abhinav
It's probably not a virus if you completely reflashed your phone, unless it nestled itself in the recovery (or other partitions that don't get wiped).
Have you tried flashing a new radio? If the problem starts when calling maybe the radio is corrupt or fried or somehow busted. Also, the radio isn't affected when you switch ROMs so it would explain why reflashing/wiping/restoring backups doesn't help.
Since your phone isn't officially supported I have no idea how you would go about finding alternative radios though.

Sounds more like an issue with the screen rather than a software issue. I'd take it back to the service center and have them take another look, it could've been improperly fixed.

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

I think I'll wait few more iterations just in case
So this morning when I took my phone off the charger, it shut off immediately. Pulled batter and put it back in multiple times, and it still wouldnt boot. Battery was fine cause it worked in another Note 2. I wiped the contacts that connect to the battery, and then it powered on. Thought it was very strange since it was working just fine the night before. Upon power up, I couldnt make or receive phone calls, couldnt make or receive texts. Really have no idea whats happening!! I've tried flashing several different roms and all react the same. The signal just bounces around and sometimes even goes out (circle with line through it). My IMEI and number still show up just fine in "About Phone".
I'm very confused, because this seems to have happened randomly! I didnt do anything but charge it overnight. I've tried flashing the modem that scott has posted. Any ideas? Should I just try and ODIN back to stock?
try sim in a diff phone?

I was going to try that next. Just didnt know if this was a problem that anyone else has encountered. I will report back very shortly.
Hmm, what the hell. Sim works just fine in another Note 2.
I hate to be the one to do this to you but..... This is the wrong section for this question. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982827 . But anyhow, have you tried switching modems/radios?
Try to put it back to bone stock using the full wipe Odin image from here. Of this doesn't fix it then is probably hardware so take it to Verizon.

By the way I went ahead and reported this to get it moved to right section. So Kenny glass will be along shortly with his cool new avatar to move it.

Well then move or delete it. I have tried to flash the L4 modem, but to no avail.

No problem. Wasn't really sure, now I know. I'm in the process of restoring to stock. Hopefully it works!
Well turns out it may have been a hardware problem! Restored to stock, and I still had the same problem. No 3G, couldnt call or text. But I did have a 4G signal that worked, plus I could receive texts. So strange! Took it to Verizon and between the store rep and tech support, they couldnt figure it out. So they're sending me another tomorrow. In case anyone was curious...
Well, just an update to my saga, in case anyone cares!! My second replacement came this morning. Upon putting my battery and sim card in, it booted up. Was going through the setup process when i just shut off. Took me about 10 min or so to get it to power on again. When it finally booted up, I had the same problem I had originally, 3G and talk/text doesnt work. Also had the faint smell of electronics burning up. My first though was my battery is frying the radios. But why wouldnt it do the same in my original phone that had the proximity sensor problem?!!
I'm ready to move on from the Note 2, Ive had nothing by problems with Samsung hardware being faulty for me.
