Sometimes bootloops - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sometimes I have bootloops after rebooting the device. It even happens when I try to reboot to recovery mode.
So what I do after getting this is take out the battery, wait like 10 seconds and then return it.
After that it is just fine.
How can I solve this?

More details first.
Which device and variant?
Which rom and/or kernel?
Rooted or not?

Must be a bug with the rom..
Why not check if any others have similar issues?
To sort it out, try:
1. Different kernel
2. Doing a wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Doing a full wipe
4. Doing a re-flash of Jellybam
5. Restore to stock

Could be.. did u wipe data before flashing Slimbean? And have you tried wiping cache, dalvik and fixing permissions?

It seems like a bug of SlimBean.
Try re-flashing the ROM again. If it still doesn't work, report the problem in the SlimBean discussion thread, and use another browser until they fix it.

returning to stock over different Kernel? [SOLVED]

I'm currently running Avatar JB ROM (best thing ever!) on my i900p with no problems, but this morning I cracked the screen so it's going back to Orange and I need to return to stock.
My question is can I just flash the stock Orange ROM over the top via ODIN or do I need to flash a different kernel too? I read something about ICS/JB kernels not mixing and the stock Orange is ICS.
Thank you
No need to flash a different kernel. Just flash stock ROM via Odin. You may do a factory reset before flashing also.

[SOLVED]Cant get into recovery, i9100 stuck on galaxy Logo

HI,
Galaxy s2 i9100, stuck on "Samsung galaxy S II gt-i9100" screen, unable to get into recovery.
The problem occurred after updating CWM recovery from rom manager.
What can I do?
Should i try flash stock rom via Odin? Download mod still reachable.
Or should i try flash recovery?
comming from wanam 14.1.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Which version of Android is Wanam 14?
Since u cannot enter recovery, flash via Odin is ur only option. I don't think flashing a recovery would help..
I have heard many people warn against using ROM Manager with i9100.

Then flash stock firmware via Odin.

[Q] Apps opening when on a call

Hello,
Apologies if this has been addressed before but I cannot find a solution with my search ability.
When I am on a call for a while, say more than 2-3 minutes, random apps opens automatically. Examples are calendar app, second call is placed to my voicemail, google now etc.
I beleive this is due to the touch screen when there is any contact to the screen when I am on a call. I've tried to clean the screen but still the same problem. All happened since I upgraded to CM10.
Anyone had the same problems or suggest anything to fix this please?
Thanks
Surcha
Ur using a nightly right? Is this an issue with a single nightly version, or all the nightlies?

I've been using CM9 for a while. Don't remember what I had before CM9 but when I moved to CM9, I did a full wipe and then installed CM9.

This could be ur problem mate! When moving from ICS to JB, a full wipe is RECOMMENDED.
As for ur apps and data, why not backup and restore them?
