Im Argentinean first of all and I'd bought my new GS2 3 days ago on mercadolibre.com.ar (a site like ebay.com) to a guy that imports it from factory. After of almost 50 days of waiting, i did got my new mobile phone, when i got it i'd upgraded to JellyBean with the official samsung rom, and that's when the problems showed up, the top left corner come overheat turning off the device, over and over again. So after some failed testing I'd chosed to change the kernel to Siyah expecting some performance improve but it become kind of worst because when the screen blackout the device just reboot itself, but if i keep doing something on it nothing happens, just when the screen comes black.
So i guessed that it may was related to the kernel, so downloaded another official rom jelly bean, this one was a Pre-Release rom, that some time ago i'd installed on a friend's galaxy s2 and it worked fine (despite the increased battery drain). This wasn't any solution though, because it keeps rebooting when the screen comes black.
I did tested to turning on without the simcard and microsd card, with the same results.
Another fact is that if i left the music playing and turn of the screen with the power button, nothing happens, it works perfectly.
It seems that is some kind of trigger when the mobile actually suspend itself doing really nothing.
Now i dont know what to do, should i test some custome rom/kernel?? should i get the chances to use the warranty? (implies to send again the device to china i guess ¬¬)
Please help, and thanks in advance.

You should try custom rom. Try to Flash Neatrom or any stock custom rom.
Hope it solves your problem.

Firstly, you need to verify that it's a genuine S2. Turn the phone off, take the battery out and post on here EXACTLY what you see on the sticker in the battery compartment.... Just don't post the IMEI number...

Because your phone is now in Bootloop.
Bootloops can occur pretty easily, it’s mainly caused because system files interfering with each other which causes instability and/or crashes at the boot sequence.
Think of system apps that are compiled incorrectly, permissions that are not set correctly, files from other devices and even an init.d script, everything is possible.
To find the cause of a bootloop you have to think about what you did before getting the bootloop.
Choose one of the following reasons that caused the bootloop for you and try out its solution.
– After flashing a new rom
If you flash a new (base)rom on your device it may not automatically wipe your dalvik-cache, This means your old dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Go to Advanced
3. Choose “Wipe dalvik-cache”
4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
5. Choose “Wipe /cache”
6. Reboot your phone
Note: by wiping “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the dalvik-cache
If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)
1. Start your phone in CWM Recovery
2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”
3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external sdcard)
When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:
1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”
2. Choose “Wipe /data”
3. Choose “Wipe /cache”
4. Reboot your phone
If the rom still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the rom which isn’t working, contact the rom creator then and try an other rom for the meanwhile.

No is not, the cellphone starts normal, and while im using it nothing wear happens, but when i left it the screen goes black and the device reboot itselfs. But now im seeing that doesnt happen anymore, i dont know why.
Still with cyanogenmod rom, i connected the phone to charge the battery, and i saw a tendency of reboots and turnings off while the percentaje comes to 100% and a increasing overheat on the left-top of the phone, i suspect that the problem may be related with the amount of charge from battery and the overheating... Hardware problem?
Well... After all this time my cellphone went through the argentinean official service of samsung and the tech guy told me that he couldn't do anything on my device because he tried installing a lot of samsung official roms and the device was still malfunctioning. So he gave up on it, so i'd tooked it to another service (non official this time) and that guy told me that it may be a non official device, so he wouldnt do nothing on it, because i couldnt get the hardware that possible was malfunctioning. So here im now, with the all money spent for nothing.
My question is, what can i do to know if is or isnt an ORIGINAL samsung device? Knowing that i'll choose how to proceed. Txs!

Personal I'm a pretty serious ploblema on my phone, I'll try to summarize what is happening ...
Q I think it all started when I was restoring a backup program and backup the phone locked titanium, EPER one time and nothing, as it had more to do I decided to take the battery out, well I think it was q q caused the problem "I think!"
I noticed the phone restarted and q did not have a program that had installed a while, I thought it was something normal, INTAL new everything I wanted and kept using the phone the other day when I restarted the phone and saw it had come up before the program I mentioned above, apart from that everything was normal.
Then I began to do some tests:
Test 1:
by cwm:
1: reset wipe
2: Wipe cash
3: format system, sd,
4: Wipe Dalvik cash
Stephen Fry all procedures ocoorem usually at least is what appears on the display, and this procedure ok ...
After all the phone and restart it it goes back to the day 8 / 10 with the applications installed to date, and no clear cash, system, or sd ..
We go to a more
Test 2:
1: disable all system backup
2: format sd card
3: restauraração factory
I'm going after the cwm and do all the above procedures.
All day equal to 8 / 10 after reset.
Test 3:
I decided to try to reinstall the rom by cwm and do all the testing procedures 1.
nothing ...
Test 4:
odin on it with the original rom, appears every recording firm, modem, everything ok in the end ... and reset the phone and nothing ...
Test 5:
the recording medium by Odim decided to take the cable, then reset all the same as the day 8 / 10
Note: I can take pictures, install software, but after the phone resets everything back to days depending on whether q 8/10...Sendo be using the phone a lot and he begins to force close ...
And now, anyone have any ideas??
Thank you!
help!!!
I do not think anyone went through this

Hard to say.
Could also be a hardware issue.
I recommend to flash back stock ROM with stock kernel.
Maybe you have to wipe data (do factory reset).
Then check again.
Good luck !

You've already done the extreme of reinstalling a stock ROM and performing a factory reset. I'm also assuming you didn't install a bunch of apps before the problem started, though.
My advice would be: go back to stock ROM again, factory reset, and SLOWLY reinstall your apps. This will help narrow down what app could be causing your issue. (if it is an app)
No bumping threads after 54 minutes. Not cool. People here aren't at your beck & call :-/

sorry for that ,but this site is my only hope
i tried ..i put the stock rom without any apps installed.but i had the same problems..by example when i want to delete a widget from the screen the phone stucks a few seconds,and the came to normal..the home button had the same delay and the proximity sensor works with the same delay,when i want to close a call ,stays a 5-10 seconds to light up the screen..i dont know,what is with him,i m disperate
..and what is strange,by example when is on charge ,the home delay dissapeared,works normally,but the rest of the problems remain
comeone..nobody knows anything about my problems with phone?
1.send it to Samsung for warranty.
2.get your money back from "friend".
I think i had similar problems with you previously, even worse maybe. Battery shows charging while cable is unplugged. Some of the time it pops up a warning message "Unstable Voltage". I did the same thing as you, flashing roms, wiping x " i forgot how many times", factory resetting X times and so on. What solved the problem for me was ;
-> i took out the battery
-> left phone untouched for several days
-> put the battery back -> charged till full
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe battery stats, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash latest stock rom ( 4.0.4 at that time )
-> reboot phone
-> root again ( flashing stock rom loses root ) using CF-Root
-> reboot to CWM recovery
-> wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache,dalvik as well, FIX permissions
-> flash PA (Paranoidandroid ROM - please follow the instruction from OP post) via CWM
->wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache, FIX permissions
-> reboot phone
-> wait for apps updated and then reboot to recovery and FIX permission for the final time and VOILA!!
The phone works great up till this moment. Not sure if you gonna solve your issue with the way i did it but might worth the try. Nothing to lose anyway it seems as you were hardcore-ing flashing roms and wiping data and such. Good Luck!
Certainly that i hope this will be able to relieve you of the unnecessary distress.

Your friend clearly sold you a dodgy phone. You should demand your money back and use the phone to beat him until he pays. That is my diagnosis and clearly the answer to your "problem".
today after wipe everything and flash de jelly bam rom ,custom kernel etc..doesnt work at all,but i removed the battery for 30 minutes,and when i put it back and openned it ,everything works very well..just a calibrate,and clearly now have no problems..how long it mentain,i dont know,but even now i dont know what it had .. mistery
so,what are you thinking,what is the cause?
Hello, guys. First of all, I'd like to apologize in advance for my bad english. If there is any part of the message that isn't very clear, please inform me so I can correct it.
Here's the deal: I've been using for some time the Jelly Bean Ressuction Remix Rom from Westcrip.
Since about a month and a half (since version 3.9, I believe), I've been getting some weird and random signal drops. Back then, I had to manually reboot my phone so the data connection would come back. At the time I thought it was because the rom was still a nightly build, not very stable, so I coped with it.
This problem has worsen considerably since one or two weeks ago: those "signal drops" have become more and more regular. And following the signal drop, the screen would flicker a little and then the phone would automatically turn off. When I turn the phone back on, the battery is almost depleted, even tho it was full right before the crash. Again I'd blame the RR from Westcrip (by the time I was using the version 3.1.0). When version 3.1.2 came out, I did a clean installation (wipe data/factory reset/format system partition/wipe cache and dalvik, etc), even changed the kernels (used both Dorimanx and Siyah), a lot of modems, and still got this same problem: signal drop (usually when the phone is under a relative amount of stress, like playing Angry Birds, browsing the web, and even while using whatsapp!!!) followed by the phone turning itself off.
I then thought: what the hell, the problem has to be with the rom, not my phone. Then, I tried installing different roms (Paranoid Android and Slim Bean), and still got the same results. If anything, the phone is rebooting even more often now than before. I can't use it for 15 straight minutes and I get that problem,
Since this has happened with all these different roms I dont believe its related specifically to any of those.
Another strange thing: this "signal drop" followed by the rebooting only happens when the phone is disconnected from any power source and being actively used by me. If I'm recharging it, for example, the phone wont reboot at all. Also, if it is over my desk but I'm not using it, the phone also wont reboot. However, if I take it out from the power source and starting using it, I'll get another reboot in about 5-10 minutes of use.
I searched the forum and didnt find anyone with a similar problem... have any of you guys seem this happen before? I'm beggining to think that my phone is gonna die on me anyday now.
Regards!!

-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
-- mount and storage > format data/system/cache
5) Then flash Rom
-- install .zip from sd card > choose .zip from sd card
-- Select the downloaded Custom Rom and flash it

Hi, thanks a lot fot the help.
I did all the steps above and I'm still getting the same results...
Another thing to notice is that yhe phone gets really hot for apparently no reason at all (like booting up, running aLogcat and other minor apps), and when that happens, I usually get a signal drop (if the phone is plugged in it wont reboot, if its not, it will reboot).
Is there anything else I can try?
Updating: I've been restoring my old nandroid backups for the whole day to see if the problem had anything to do with Jelly Bean. Well, I've gone back to the old ICS days and every version of it had the same random and constant rebooting. Even versions that didn't have any problem before.
I'm beggining to think I have a hardware failure of some sort. Do any of you guys know what could cause this kind of hardware failure? Since the phone has been getting hot for no apparent reason, it seems to me its a problem with the SGS2 cooler. Is that even possible?
OK so I have this problem but only when using my backup battery. (Not official). When It gets around 30% it begins to make my screen flicker and loose signal and just die.
So maybe you haven't got an original (official) battery in your s2?

I dont think I have an unofficial battery. Its the same battery that came with the phone (bought from Amazon), and also, mine says Samsung on the back. Dunno if its enough to assume its official. Is there another way to check if my battery is official?

Hi I am also facing the same problem. Mobile is getting hot near the camera lens.
Had my phone 2 years, installed ROMs without any issues before.
Was running CM10.1 daily, when yesterday I thought I'd go and encrypt the phone (using the system menu).
Phone encrypted, rebooted, but immediately I started getting 'google play store crashed' errors in an infinite loop. It was usable enough to push the latest neatrom to the phone via USB connectivity, so I did a full wipe (clear data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, format /system, install rom in CWM) and installed neatrom.
Phone reboots, looks OK at first except for a 'usb storage is blank or unsupported' message in notification center. I try to format it, no dice, just stops displays the notification again.
Of course, without what is seen by the sgs2 as usb storage I can't install any app and everything crashes to desktop (camera, etc).
I'm not sure what to do next, and could use some advice! Thank you!
Right, so now I've bricked it. Odin, GB phone, csr and pda, then black screen, then nothing. Won't reboot either. Just... great.
Ok, thanks for sharing.

reflash back to stock rom first, but first make a back up for your current rom. that happened to my tab before. the internal memory is not working and saying something blank/unsupported, really cannot remeber. i couldnt install apps. i contacted the support of the tab (NOMADNINE) and i was adviced to flash it back to stock since it will copy files and put the chipset to write mode and will erase everything... you can try to flash it through ODIN.

So far what I've done:
1. Flashed Custom Rom - CM11 in this case. Screen turning on and off is persistent between stock and CM leading me to believe hardware problems.
2. Took phone apart, unplugged power button from motherboard. Booted phone back up and disconnected. With the cable disconnected it still persisted.
3. Taking a page from some other threads on XDA I have tried the key test in CWM. My screen was turning on every 1-2 minutes and right now its been sitting for 15 minutes with no key presses registered (with the cable re-connected).
So with all of that being done I'm assuming its an issue with something that Google is restoring to my phone? Does that sound like a logical conclusion? Before I factory reformat and not have anything restore I just wanted to post up and verify.
As a second question - is there a good way to clear all the internal memory before I do a fresh format of CM11 (if i go that direction tonight?) I still have folders on the internal SD card from my stock install that i would like wiped out.
Thank you all in advance: I love this site. I've been flashing every phone i've owned from the guidance here but very rarely post.

To format the internal SD card, reboot into recovery (sounds like you use cwm), go to 'mounts and storage' and wipe 'sdcard' or 'data/media.' I havent used cwm in a while so I cant remember the exact wording.
While in mounts and storage go ahead and wipe 'system' and wipe 'data' as well before installing the new rom. Before installing a new rom you should always wipe system and data.
As far as the screen randomly turning on it does sound logical that it could be google restoring to your phone. Im guessing that you don't see new notifications in the status bar? How long did you let the phone sit after installing a new rom?
Whichever way I doubt it's hardware.
If you format and reinstall dont choose to restore from Google servers. If the problem still persists then there are ways to know what's waking up your phone.
