LED flash does not work. I have reset the phone already but nothing. Any ideas??
BUMPY BUMP.
What exactly have you tried to conclude it is not working?

Well, I tried taking pictures with flash and nothing.
Hmm. Phone charged? There is no disabled hidden option somewhere? Well I am sure you already looked into these easy things, you are a senior member here
Hopefully some one with an SGS2 in hand can help you. It would suck to have to send it back to UK. I suggest you contact the seller soon, to get whatever authorization for return they require, before it is too late. You can meanwhile keep looking into the issue.
I've tried mine and 'Auto Flash' does not appear to be working - when the flash is set to 'On' it works fine on mine??
Anyone else apart from the two of us with this issue?

With auto flash the device only uses flash when it thinks it needs it....
Guess you figgered that out yourself also
Download a torch app from the market and try it to see if your led is ok, if so it must be a software problem.

Ok, you didn't mention it. I thought you did, but can't be sure here on the forum (not personal).
Must be some sensor failure i think.
Best still to check the obvious i guess ;-)
Surprised more people haven't mentioned it though

Has anyone tried it on the newest leaked ODIN rom?
I guess I will have to return it for an exchange. Man, that sucks tail!!! They're currently in back order.
Just downloaded the Vignette camera app and Auto Flash works.fine so its not the sensor.
Wonder if there's a bug in the standard camera app?

Just tried that. No luck. This is very frustrating. I may try flashing one of those firmwares from samfirmware.com
get the free tesla light app from the market (the icon looks like an energy saving light bulb)
It should work fully and instantly
Tesla won't work either. I wonder if it is hardware or software related problem. Is there a link for an unlocked SGS 2 stock ROM version to download?

I followed the debranding guide in the dev section and replaced my O2 rom and now camera auto flash works fine.

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

So everytime when I open the contacts app and press the bar with the lettres on the right side it freezes the app for about 1-3 seconds and then the app continues to work like normal. This behaviour occurs everytime I re-open the app.
Is this common behaviour?

Same. Stock Samsung. Latest build. So the s3 cannot handle a mere 400 contacts under its hood?

I've also have an issue with accessing the dialer.. Dialer takes 1-2 seconds to launch and then when switching from dialpad to contacts, there's also another slight 1 second lag. It has occured on both my stock TW rom and my current - Wanamlite+Siya kernal. Have rebooted and cleared memory many times, but same results.
Cold wakes on the phone also develops a 1-2 second lag to power on the screen.. but turning off/on right after is instantaneous.
Other applications and menus launch smoothly and I don't experience any low memory problems.

I don't even have that much. Looks like it's just some kind of bug.
After a factory reset it's still present. Guess it's a software bug.

Yea, when I used CM9 there wasn't any lag.. only TW based roms as Omega rom seemed to exhibit it too for me.
It seems to be present in the music app too. Really annoying. Samsung should fix this.

Are you on the latest XXLG8 update? I just updated it and it seemed to have improved the lag quite a bit. I also cleared the phone data in the application manager. Still a bit present but usually more so only on the first run..it seems much more bearable now.

It's not yet released in my country. I'll just have to wait for it I guess.
after flashing a rom i got this issue too
but after a while its gone :silly:
i have the exact same problem too, ive tried over a dozen roms including stock, but the contacts app still lags sometimes for a second and up till 3, currently on clockwork mod recovery, siyah (latest), checkrom v4.
i guess it could be a problem if you have linked contacts to facebook, whatsapp and skype, but i dont know i would have to do some testing before i can tell for sure.
anyone come across a script/fix/modded contacts.apk file yet?
I have the same issue. having such an issue in the latest phone of samsung is very annoying. hope this will be fixed in jelly bean update.
the problem appear if you have contact with a lot contact image..try to disable media scanner
Check out "Rescan Media ROOT" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot
above app work for me

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Then we might be talking hardware (faulty screen).

Hi All,
I have been happily using Thebyani 2.1 with Dorimanx 7.44 but I have noticed a strange issue when trying to listen to media (both on speaker and headset).
The volume rock seems to go through 3 cycles of volume across the entire bar, if the phone is on mute, moving the volume just passed halfway will mute it again. Moving from about 60% to 80% across the bar raises the volume again and then 90-100% is mute.
I have tested this on multiple media apps with the same results.
Has anybody else encountered this issue?

Well for starters that rom is based on leaked version of JB not public final so it has various bugs including volume rocker.
Change rom to something like Wannam lite, Its based on new final JB and very stable.
Will wait for official release on that one. Was working before I reflashed exact same rom
Thanks!

Actually I read plenty and already know the solution. I was merely poiting out that I had resolved one issue and now had to work on the next one.
I sincerely apologize for attempting to establish rapport.
