Hello all,
I am facing a problem with my S2(bought 1.5 yrs ago)...
I rooted my handset and installed RootBox rom. After a while I started facing a problem like, my handset would be functioning properly but, if someone would try calling me he would get the message that the number is switched off and I would not be able to make a call or send any message either. I would have restart my handset after which it would start recieving and calling.
This problem could happen anytime.
So, yesterday I flashed official samsung ICS rom(with Siyah kernal) but today I just faced the problem again.
I am not able to understand whether it is due to some hardware problem or it is a software issue.
Please if anyone knows anyting about this type of issue it would be of much help.
Thanks
Flash the leaked 3 part JB firmware via Odin. And do a factory reset. That should give you a pretty clean slate to start troubleshooting. Then see if the issue persists. If it does, off to the Service Centre.

Hello people, I have a rather peculiar issue with my SII
I have had this issue for some time now and really doesnt bother me that much, its just annoying. And its just now that I have bothered writing a post about it.
If Ive run out of battery, I plug my phone into the charger, turn it on while its charging, I get no service, not prompted to input PIN and get the Uknown IMEI\baseband version. But if I let it charge a couple of minutes, unplug the charger and turn it on, everything works fine. Whats going on here?
I think this problem occured after installing one of bmarko's MIUI roms. I have since full wiped and restored stock rom. Upgraded two new official samsung roms as they have been released, currently running XWKI8 unrooted completely stock and the issue still persist.
I have searched around and there are similar cases out there but not really any clear solutions. Theres even a post over at cyanogenmods forum site, but no replies.
As said earlier its not really a big issue for me, not expecting a immediate solution but I would really like to understand the problem if someone has the information since I dont have the technical competence to understand it myself. I obviously havent corrupted or lost anything in my efs folder since its working without the charger, or? Could there be remains of a bug from another rom still in the system causing this?
Any replies would be appreciated, thanks.
Same Problem
Hey FlipTrick,
I got exactly the same problem. Dont remember how it happened exactly, but do remember I didn't do anything exotic. Can't display my IMEI, unknown baseband version and no prompt for my PIN.
I Tried several things:
- Reflashed the advised codeworx kernel using odin.
- ReInstalled CM 7.1 and tried nightly version.
- Reflashed different RADIO ROMS from XDA (goo.gl/TjoaM)
Nothing worked. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Or know what I could try next?
Greetings,
Xianduras
I had this problem once when I used a jig to reset the flash counter. Given the modem (and the IMEI) wasn't showing up in the phone details, I reflashed the modem which fixed it.
Occasionally after a reboot my modem/IMEI details take around 20-30 seconds to appear, but they've never not turned up/left me without service apart from that one occasion.
problem gone?!
Problem seems to be gone, noticed it after flashing Hydrog3n rom. Cant say if thats the solution though, havent tested it for awhile and i've flashed alot of roms
I installed cyanogenmod 10.1. Everything is fine, I update it whenever update rolls out. Today my sister was unable to call me. During that time wifi was turned on. I tried to call from my phone to my friends, I was unable to do so (after a while during call my phone beeped and automatically stopped the call). I was able to fix this issue only by turning on and off airplane mode.
How to fix this issue? People are unable to call me. Whats the point of having a phone than?
I own SGS2 I9100 with CM10.1. I installed everything by following their tutorial.

Backup your apps/appdata with TB Pro and then do a clean install of rom.
Alternatively first try flashing modem.
I had this issue with CM10 (4.1.2 JB) too. I installed CM10.1(4.2 JB) by following this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036229). I done everything right.
gastonw - everything is working fine. I think this problem occurs only when I am conneted to wifi. It doesn't appear instantly when I turn on wifi, but It does occur sometimes, after a while. (Sure, I will say hi for you )

Lol, next beer is on me.
Now, you shouldn't have to turn off Wifi to make/recieve calls, that's nasty. Try going stock, enable wifi and make/recieve a couple of test calls. If it flies, go back to CM.
I already tried that. With stock samsung's android - everything works fine. This problem I encounter only with cyanogenmod. :/

No CM for you then. Try another custom rom and from time to time go back to CM to see if the issue persist.
What an awful thing to hear What about custom modems (that modem file, which you can install through odin)? Would some sort of custom modem help to fix this issue?
Well, can't hurt, can it?
why don't you use the same stock modem when you are on CM?
Trial & Error is the best option here.

There seems to be a weird issue with my Galaxy S3.
I had installed the Omega ROM v36 (upgrading all the way from v23 i.e 24,25.. serially) without wiping the data.
The phone was working fine until a few days back. Then suddenly the phone used to hang(like old nokia phones).
I tried calling the sim number and the call was going through but wasnt getting anything. The screen just stood there.
And then i had to reset the phone (Power 8 seconds) every time it happened.
Today I wiped the data and freshly installed the ROM. The same issue still exists.
It is really irritating. and even after reset-ing the phone the phone hangs the same way!
Please help someone.
Should I go back to stock? Something else?
Please!

But the problem is since v34!
I tried installing every update.
Nothing helped!
And which SD do I need to format? internal or external?
Did you experience this screen problem before the custom rom? Lets hope its not a hardware problem.
Try formatting your internal SD. Don't think your ext SD could affect it, though eject it just in case. Return it to stock as much as possible.
Hello everyone,
I have a samsung Galaxy S2 and facing quite enough issues with it.
Problem started when one fine day "Media scanner" kept running. I googled for that problem, uninstall few doubtful apps,
cleared off other data but all in vain.
Finally, I did factory reset to get rid of this. After factory reset, I got below problems :
1. Lag in Samsung keypad
2. No audio at all (alarm, incoming calls, music, FM Radio etc etc.)
3. Camera failed.
4. And some times, face issue while rendering.
To solve first one I install swiftkey app which is working fine.
For audio issue, I googled but nothing was useful for me.
Currently, my device has Android version 2.3.4 , i.e. as it was shipped.
I am thinking to update to Ice Cream Sandwich (thinking that can solve all issues) but before that need opinion of experts.
If anybody can "pinpoint actual issue which caused all this or give some direction in solving this" , that would be great help to me.
Thanks in advance for help
With Regards
Neha

Firstly, Thank you for suggestion.
Secondly, I want to mention, my device has started working smoothly its own. Today morning it got fully discharged and got shut down, after charging it is working without any issue. I am not sure, whether battery charging/ discharging has some link to all those issues because I had rebooted it many times.
Anyways OS upgrade is required, hope my experience can help somebody else also
My GSII I9100 got pretty wet in the rain recently - I was so stupid!
I was running CM10.1 nightly on it.
After this, it was working fine for a few days and then started to loose network quite often. So I decided to factory reset to see if that fixes it. I also flashed the latest nightly when I did the reset. This got me in to a boot loop, which did not get resolved by another wipe data. So I flashed a Stock JB 4.1.2 via Odin. This also resulted in a boot loop but got resolved when I did a wipe data. At this point, I lost my IMEI.
My next action was the biggest mistake of all - I deleted the EFS without a backup so finally ended up with a generic IMEI.
I already know the solution for this problem - I took it to the service center; they tried to flash the software etc., and finally said this can be fixed only by a motherboard replacement.
Following are the questions that I have for the experts:
1. I cannot receive or make calls but I get HSPAP as well as EDGE data. Does getting EDGE connectivity means that my Radio hardware is working fine?
2. Are there any Apps or API calls that can indicate that the Radio works fine? I don't want to replace the entire motherboard without an actual hardware problem.
3. Are there anyone in the forum who has/knows people with a box to get my IMEI repaired? I'm from Chennai, India.
I thank you all for a patient reading. Looking forward to your advice.
Take it to a local phone shop they will be able to sort imei out pretty cheap compered to a mb replacement.
