Hi, folks. My friend has a S2 phone with proximity sensor that not working. Auto-brightness does not working too. Also, if he compare his S2 with any other, 1st one have been loading on bootloader stage for 5-6 minutes that much slower any other S2.
What we've tried already:
- 3-file 2.3.3 service firmware, 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 with PIT file through ODIN, flashed many custom firmwares and AOSP firmwares, flashed old & new bootloader
- FOTA updates
- disassembling phone and finding parts that unstable or not working, didn't find anything
- ???
Ok, I think that proximity sensor is hardware problem. But why it stucking on bootloader for 4-5 minutes and only after that time it shows ROM animation and boot successfully?
Bump. Still waiting for da answer.

I have a serious issue with both my I9100 devices.
it suddenly freezes and requires reboot. when i do it, it stuck on boot screen (Where the yellow triangle would be if using unofficial firmware)
nothing helps, only wipe data. once I wipe, device loads fine and starts working again.
I tought at first its rom/kernel related, I switched everything and even tried stock rom.
it keeps happening...today, I tried to swap batteries as one got empty, I took the battery out of the stocked-rom device (after turning it off) and then later when i switched it on, it had to be wiped.
same as with my other device.
Anyone has any clue what this is about?
Its became a big issue for me, I cant flash/wipe every few days...
One device is on Neatrom 4.4 lite, the other stock-everything, both 4.1.2

u can just rewert to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware on both the phones and check for the issue (whether its firmware related or any hardware issue as such)
thanks for your help,
It did not happen on 403, tough it didnt happen on 4.1.2 for some while either.
what else would you suggest me to test?

1) with 403 for some time once again to ensure no issues of freezing.
2)then a different 4.1.2 stock/custom rom altogether to check for the same(freezing) issue.
stay for some time on those firmwares and see (may be one or two charge cycles).
3) do not install any mods on top of the firmware, just stay stock and see
One of the devices is already back to 403, while the second one on stock 412
the hardest thing to tell if 403 solves it or not, as it happens occasionally, once in a week or two.
I tried two different stock roms, so that would rule out #2.
The weird thing is that wiping data is enough.
data is separated from the rom itself, yet it causes the entire device not to boot anymore.
I hope someone has some experience of this problem, I will do my best to explain in some detail.
It is as out of the box currently running version 4.0.4 firmware.
The history, initially stock firmware version 4.0.3 was running, the USB was a little loose, so I swapped the complete pcb with another S2 I have with a faulty display, to make things a bit more complicated I also put in a 2Gb SD card, when I rebooted the problem appeared, on pressing the power button to wake up, the screen comes on to the lock screen in dimmed mode, and it will stay like it for anything from 5 to 15 seconds, then the screen will go to full brilliance and the screen can be unlocked.
What I have tried, removed and rebooted with sd card removed, swapped back the original USB pcb, and swapped back again as the problem remained, also upgraded to firmware version 4.0.4, that is more or less where I am now, the problem remains.
Have tried researching but unable to find anything relating to this problem, do you have any ideas?
Update:
After further reading, it appears the original firmware may have been customised, because I was not able to get Kies to connect with the device and the CSC was stated as 'unknown', which from what I have read indicates a custom ROM.
Having flashed the stock firmware , on the recovery menu I get still the message #Manual Mode# Appling Multi CSC.... Applied the CSC code: XEU Successfully applied multi CSC, which was also present with original firmware but it never actually applied the code as it stated CSC 'unknown'. but I can now connect with Kies and the CSC code is stated as I9100XEULPA.
Is it normal to get this message at the recovery menu?
Is it a symptom of the same lock screen delay issue?
Solved
I spent 6 weeks trying to fix this, the most aggravating of problems are sometimes very easy to cure when you know the answer!
Disable auto brightness, easy, your long wake up delay has now gone.
Let me know if it helped you.:good:
So its being more than a month my phone isn't working.... 5 months before i updated my alpha on lollipop through odin via sammobile ...... for about after 5 months my phone started acting weird it use to restart it self, there was network problem and even fingerprint stopped working... i tried every single possible way to fix ... i even flashed it and installed a fresh version but it still doesn't work.... some times it gets off the boot loop and powers on ... but it the phone only works on Ultra Power Saving Mode* if i turn it off than phone again gets into a boot loop !!! please help...Thanks!
Try going back to kitkat just to see if it works.
Sent from my SM-G850F
Thats the problem i cant find kitkats's version anywhere!!
Not even sammobile?
Sent from my SM-G850F
Nope
I have the same issue, I tried downgrading the firmware to Kitkat but it s always the same problem
Try installing twrp and flashing ozcan rom ..better than a useless phone
I have got into a very strange problem, touch key lights and auto brightness of my galaxy s6 edge are not working, I have re-flashed the stock marshmallow rom many times, even before flash, factory rest it.
All the sensors are working perfectly in the test service menu. but respective functions are not working.
Then I downgraded from android 6 to 5 lollipop, and i lost the test service menu after it, now *#0*# not working even.
Then again upgraded to android 6 and still the service menu not working, And today i found that the audio jack is also malfunctioning, If i put the handsfree phone gets shutdown immediately or it dosent works. The songs plays in the loud speaker.
Roms downloaded from samfirmware.com .
Flashed using odin.
Sorry for the English.
Try flashing the modem and bootloader for your specific device, then go into recovery and do a manual factory reset and see how you go. Little weird for things to be doing that. You might have damaged your device fm with downgrading and upgrading
