[Solved]Advise needed... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a GT-I9100G that currently is on the I9100GXXLSR firmware.It was running fine for a couple of months until started causing all sorts of problems.
If there is a better jelly bean rom please tell or I would downgrade to GB or ICS depending on stability. Please advise me...

Stock rom should be as stable as it can get. Try factory reset wipes cache and reboot. Whay problems do you have with it?

Already tried. Factory resets only solve problems temporarily and cache wipes do nothing. I am having problems like : SOD,vibration not working after reboot, OTG unmount wakelock,Android wakelocks causing horrendous battery drains etc.
So, please suggest me if there is a better jb firmware for the i9100g or I would happily downgrade to GB or ICS depending on what you guys suggest. I would have noi problems sacrificing features over stability. PLEASE HELP ME..

I think you should just try any to rule out software problem cuz if its stock rom/kernel then you may have hardware problem. If another version of jb is no good then yes drop down to ics. You shouldnt need to go down to gb to rule out software.

Doesn't ics have brickbug? Which ones more faster and stable, ics or gb? I am willing to stay away from jb for now.

4.0.4 ics stay away from. Id go with 4.0.3 not gb

Ok thanks much appreciated.

[Q] Stock rom instability

Good morning everyone
Seems to be that my GSII has serious issues running his stock rom (continuous reboots, not-working 3g etc.). I tried several factory resets, but nothing worked 100% . CM fixes some of my problems, but the only full-working custom rom is MIUI, that seems to be stable and very neat. Despite that I still prefer the custom rom (yes I'm probably insane), or a more traditional one like CM and I really would like to understand what kind of problems can generate such a massive amount of errors and reboots.
Could be a hardware problem? MIUI works fine, I can't explain why I still got problems with other ROMs.
Sorry for my bad English, thanks in advance
Without telling us the version of the stock rom you are using, we can never give you any answers.
I'm currently using
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] #2 Kernel
Gingerbread.xwkj3 Build
That's not the original stock ROM, just one I found (here on xda I guess...)
Is there some kind of hardware-check I can run by myself, just for exclude manifacturing defects?
if you want to check to exclude hardware defects, u could go to the dialer and press *#0*# .. it will give u a list of tests which allows u to pinpoint any hardware defects ( if it exists) .... but if the problem is with the 3g, you could reflash your modem..
Initial problems were strictly connected with 3g's use, after a few hours of use i've noticed slowdowns using sms, then it started crashing and random rebooting. That's the same reason why I initially switched from original ROM to CM. I mean, I know that Samsung's ROM is not the best one at all, but I can't figure why it's so instable on my device.

Updating: now my GSII works with latest stable Cyanogen, except for the 3g that's still not working. Should I reflash modem, as suggested by roophz?
That old kernel is known to cause random reboots.
Update to a newer stock rom.

Update 2: I switched from the old stock rom to the latest cyanogen stable version, then to a newer stock rom and then back to MIUI again. Still no life signals from 3g.
How is that possible?

[Q] latest kernel for miui 2.2.3(GB) SGS2

hello.
I went back to miui 2.2.3 after getting annoyed with all the little bugs in different ICS.
GB is stable enough for me.
currently i'm using SiyahKernel 2.6.14.
i know that i cannot use SiyahKernel v3, beacuase it was designed for ICS.
is there any NEW kernel for GB? or everyone has passed to ICS?
i have tried searching for days, and didnt find any current kernel.
thanks.
Doubt you'll find anything more 'recent' than that last build of Siyah. Almost everyone's moved on.
If their is any new kernel its posted in the usual place .
Yes most are on ICS and i am even nearly on ICS once i decide what i want .

[Q] P7510 on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5): unstable WiFi

Dear all,
I noticed that my P7510 running on ICS 4.0.4 (XWLP5) has an unstable WiFi connection when the received WiFi signal strength is not maximum (2 or 3 out of 4 bars). Connection often disappears and when trying to reconnect to the WiFi network manually, the there is no response. Turning off / on Wifi on my Tab is no solution to the problem either. Even a full reboot does not always help. I updated from HC 3.2 to ICS 4.0.4. after full flasing HC 3.2 first.
Is this a known issue? I cannot find any decent info on this. Or is there a ROM that fixes this? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I had no problem with the WiFi what so ever not with 4.04 and not with cm 10 jelly bean
Did you have that problem on 3.2?
Try and flash the official ICS from sammobile with odin
Thankfor replying. I did not have this issue HC 3.2. I went back to stock HC3.2 and updated via WiFi to official ICS v4.0.4. No official releases for my country for P7510 are available for my Tab, but other official ICS v4.0.4 versions I tried from Sammobile have same issue.
I'm thinking to go to CM 10 release, but since wiping is required and my P7510 has brick bug, I'm hesitating to do this operation.
Try the sammobile UK version that's what iam running and it had no problems
Cm10 is faster than official ics and gives u much more options It's a better experience at least for me except for a bug or tow but some people don't even notice them
About the brick bug I don't know what that is cause I had no problems wiping data so i can't help u their sorry

I already tried UK version from Sammobile, same WiFi issue when signal strength is not maximum. Regarding the brick bug: check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879941

I don't know what it's not working for you every thing oky with me
About the brick bug....... I just checked and as it turned out I too have the brick bug and I have actually ran EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip
I have wiped the data and installed custom roms more than I can count......i don't know maybe it's over-rated or iam just lucky!!
Iam afraid to do it again now but he says here "Avoiding brick:
The only danger now seems to bi if you are on stock ICS ROM and you execute factory/data reset in Samsung recovery.
If you are using custom ROMs and CWM you should be safe because all custom ROMs/krenels have now removed mmc_cap_erase() from list of capabilities."
Iam running a custom rom so I don't know.....

what do you suggest ?? I am on ICS

hey all
its been a while
well long story short i am on ICS on my XT912 vzn ,
using it as gsm phone outside country at this time.
having safestrap and got a few rom slots ,
want to get afresh look
can anyone plz link me to a ics kernel based JB rom which is totally debloated and optimized for better battery life
At this time i am losing 1 to 1.5% battery while sitting idle , without anything running
would appreciate some help
even if it means moving to JB altogether , plz guide me regarding that as well.
thanks
AW: what do you suggest ?? I am on ICS
For ICS based Roms (XT912) have an look here
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php?/topic/1171-Look-Here-For-All-Available-Roms#entry21091
Also you should have an look @ the Dev section of Droidrzr, there you'll find the Dualboot Method for ICS <>JB without apply the whole OTA. On that way you can always flash back to ICS and you'll be able to use all Roms in the List.
An best Rom is related to your needs. You'll have to find it by Crackflashing your Device or read the Threads.

[Q] Couple of ROM questions

Just as a quick intro, I'm not a total noob, but I'm no expert either. I had an OG Droid that I rooted and had installed several ROMS before upgrading to a Droid Razr. I decided to root this one also and I'm running CM 10.1.3 with JellyBean X kernel, all installed with Safestrap.
I had some issues with my baseband not working properly with CM, so I decided to try to install a clean version of Jelly Bean to see if that helped the problem. The ROM I was going to download required me to install BMM 3.0.4 which I did. Once that was done, I rebooted and lo and behold the phone booted into the original Verizon version of Jelly Bean. At this point I have not installed anything but BMM. Why did this happen? I thought I had done a wipe when I installed CM. Is this because I installed CM into a second slot and now BMM is booting to the original slot? As far as I know, CM is still on the phone somewhere. How can I get back to it? Is it going to be a problem as far as phone performance to have both of them on the system at the same time?
Finally, like everyone else, my goal is to get the best performance out of this phone. I would like to avoid the stock ROM due to all the bloatware. Is the clean JB a good option? Will this fix the baseband problem (poor to no service)? Is there a baseband fix I can use in conjunction with CM?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
Not sure if you are just looking @ AOSP ROMs, but I've done well with the bionx ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45291834:
Its stock based, haven't had any issues and its different with some Xperia launcher and whatnot. Has a lot of options/tweaks in dashboard app as well..
