Phone is Crashing - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have a problem with my S II... Out of nowhere it started crashing. It boots normally, but once it loaded, it crashes immediately. The crash is actually a system freeze, then it shuts down. The battery is fully charged, but the phone was burning while it was charging, not the battery though. So basically I start the phone, it freezes, then it shuts down.
Don't know if it's the battery or the firmware... I have stock firmware.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE:
The phone is still burning, at the back top, camera area. The battery discharges very quickly now I see.
I remember using the flash before it happened. I used it to a point where it started buzzing and discharged the battery to 5%. I put it immediately to charge, but, now it's like in a vegetable state...
Still don't know if it's the firmware's fault or the battery. I don't want to rewrite the firmware, the battery I could change... But I'm thinking the camera or it's flash is broken, freezing the phone and draining it's power... Is that even possible? What to do?
Thank you.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, I found the problem, the mainboard was faulty and I had to replace it.
But now even though it seems to work even better, it has something else......... The USB port isn't working. The circuit board with the microphone, usb, etc. is the one I had before, didn't change that. So it should work perfectly, but it's not. When I plug the charger, it takes a few good seconds to see the status "charging", and when removed it's the same. When I connect the phone to the PC's USB port, it doesn't recognize the phone. What the hell? I enabled the USB Debugging on the phone and still nothing... The battery is charging though, but very slow. Damn, this phone is torturing me!!
Please someone help me with this other issue... ((
Thank you!
UPDATE 3:
I managed to fix my phone. Changed the mainboard, changed the USB board, installed firmware and it worked.
Thank you all for all your help!

Check the voltage during charging via Battery Doctor. It is due to your battery. Try changing battery

How do I do that? The phone freezes the moment it loads the system. I wrote an update in the original post. Thanks for trying to help.

So, anyone has any idea?

First replace your battery. Try to replace charger. It is your main board maybe thats why your S2 restarts itself. It is critical. If it does not solve your issue ... it is your kernel. Lots of peoples are complaining about kernel bad behaviour ... they are also not rooted. So try to root it if the battery doesnt solve your issue. Also try to have a hardware checkup by a technician ...! Hope it helps

So I consulted a technician and the problem was the mainboard. I had to replace it... Now it works like a charm, or so it seemed at first. Now something else is ****ed up.
I wrote another update in the original post, please read it...
Thank you for all your help.

@lucian there are charging pins and computer connecting pics on the main board which lets your smartphone to communicate with pcand charge. These pins have some prints for reading. So these prints are damaged according to my info.!. Repair those prints and let us know.!

@Lucian Andries I have the same problem of heating at the part of camera .. Dont worry i dont think its because the problem of flash or your camera .. Only because your battery gets heated up and leads to heating up your device . So i had to change my modem to control the heating im using KH3 now which doesnt heat up very often .. but i do have some heating when its over charged !!

@GreenArrow_I9100: What is KH3?
@syedbilal093: Ok, I tried that to, I changed the USB/Microphone board too. That didn't work either. The problem this time was still the mainboard, it had a faulty stock Firmware installed on it. I installed CyanogenMod 11 SNAPSHOT 12, and the problem was solved.
Thanks guys for trying to help.

KH3 is the modem type ..
You can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1066735&d=1337266991
And then flash it from odin but upload file in PHONE/MODEM instead of PDA in odin It did help me with heating problem !!!
For now even im running cm11 m12 snapshot over dorimanx and encountered no problems so far . I get a battery life for around 4-5 hours on screen wifi on .. And no heating problems !

I installed that modem too. Didn't check the modem I had before. Hope will help.
On my cm11 m12 I have some problems. Applications just "stop working" out of the sudden. As there is no thread for SNAPSHOT versions, I'm asking you if you have this issue. Is this due to kernel? Should I change the kernel? I have the cm11 kernel...
Thanks!

Generally applications stop working if you alter the procedure of flashing the kernel while you flash the rom
I prefer this order
1. Install dorimanx kernel
2. check for kitkat compatible recovery
3. Full wipe data factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache, Mounts and storage --> Format/system
4. Install Rom cm11 snapshot
5. Install Gapps(Used PA gapps)
6. Reboot !!
Anyway many say that kernel can be flashed between rom and gapps.
But so far i never had any problem of application stopped working !! So try this out !! Hope this solves your problem

Great to hear that @lucian

But is the Dorimanx kernel better than CyanogenMod's kernel?

@Lucian Andries Doesnt really matter the kernel here if you follow the correct order of flashing them .. I hv tested rom over both kernels and it was smooth with no problems So what you choose is upto you but i personally like Dorimanx
Both kernels are good though

I don't know. CyanogenMod may be smooth and all, but the GPS isn't working even with KH3 modem, unless set it to network/wi-fi/gps. And the camera also doesn't perform right. The colours are desaturated and it doesn't focus right. I think I'll roll back to official stock 4.1.2 for this device...
Could you tell me which is the best stock 4.1.2? I'm from Romania, and here we have this version "I9100XWLSS_I9100OXFLS3_COA_4.1.2". But they didn't put any effort into it...
Thank you.

All stocks are the same only difference is the location and language as far as i know get your required zip from samfirmware.com as per your location and flash it through odin. It should work !!
But gps is working fine in cm11 for me .. Dont know why its not working in your device mate !!

I don't know about that. I don't think it's just the location and language. For the language, all the location firmwares have all the languages included. But, not all the location firmwares are the same. I'm sure some of them have more work put into them than others. That's why some of them are buggy, having boot loops, very high battery consumption and slow response in apps and menus. Get my point? That's why I asked which country has the best official rom.

@Lucianandries, i came here after a long time. Some issues. Exams preparation, you know . I want to ask if your other problems are solved or not.? As for "application stopped" error. It is usually normal in Cyanogenmod. I also sometimes face this and that's why i don't use CM. Try to use "Official" builds. They are good.!

[Q] Device suddenly stops working and needs to be wiped

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.

Battery High Temp, Fast Discharging, Charging Error

I know there has been a million posts about this issue and I tried all the solutions. Different roms and kernels, factory resets, changing usb, battery calibrations through different methods all with no effect. In frustration I was ready to toss my s2 in the garbage but before I did I decided to try something else (links below) since I figured I had nothing to lose.
It works!! for me anyway. I removed the IC. Didn't replace just removed and my phone now works perfectly. Charges, doesnt overheat. I was reaching battery temps of 80C within a few minutes of turning the phone on before. It was even overheating while turned off! No more warnings or charging paused. So if you have nothing to lose and are ready to toss your S2 like me try this.

When I was on ICS my phone ran without any problems.
I can't really remember but I think I had installed an app and it started making my phone go crazy. So I went to AOKP JB 4.2.2 and started having the high heat problem again.
So I removed an app that I had Vault and set playstore to update over wifi only.
I put the Siyah kernel. I did flash a few other modems and I had the same problem. I flashed current modem and all is fine.
Wipe your cache and dalvik cache too.
Try downloading your modem file again.
All I can say is that my battery can now last 3days (in 2g mode no data) but when I do turn on data it does not suck my battery down in 15 minutes.
*I did click on HSDP option and then turned it back on and off and back on again.
1. I would start with a clean basic ROM. Don't just wipe but format everything 2 times.
2. try different modems (I think this is where the problem is)
3. new kernel or different kernel
This phone is working great now.

[Q] Tianhe H920+ wake up issue, camera issue

Guys maybe you can help me, my phone is behaving very strange. It is a Tianhe H920+ with 4gb ROM, identical with Mlais MX58 Pro, Auxus Nuclea N1 and others.
Roms for Auxus Nuclea N1 are working perfectly, but, first of all i have problems with the rear camera, i am not getting any error messages, but just only the front camera is working and the switch camera option is missing, after i install some third party camera app it freezes.
Phone was suited with Tianhe ROM, build march 2014, for sure i made backup. What i have found out, when i flash the original BOOT.IMG, camera works fine, but the old kernel will be installed. I have unpacked it, checked also init, init.project files, they are totally the same, no change there, just the Zimage differs / Kernel.
All works fine but i have the old known wake up bug, i must remove the battery and start the phone again. I was searching everywhere, but i couldnt find any fix for it. I know flash firmware, but like i already mentioned rear camera is not working with other kernels, all other functions are ok. Is there any possible solution? Framework fix or something please?
Till now i have tried almost 10-15 roms, from MX58 Pro, Star, Tianhe, but non of them is suited with a kernel with working rear camera :crying:. Thank you very much.
Heyy delltech1.. I've also facing similar issue...have you found any solution to your problem?

Hello DellTech1.
I am facing the same issue with the pnone not waking up after it has gone to deep sleep.
I found out, that it only happens, when WLAN (WIFI) is switched on.
(For tests I had no SIM installed and the phone was reset to factory setup)
When WIFI is switched off it starts up as it should.
Could this issue be related to baseband?
Do you have more informations now?
Additional infos:
It showed, that the wakeup issue occured, when the phone was logged into a Network with WPA2 security.
Because I did not believe this, I did trials on 3 different networks with 3 different routers.
In each case, the phone did not wake up, if WLAN was active and the security settings in the router have been WAP2.
If I changed the settings in the routers to WPA, wake up was fine.
Anyway: an active WLAN connection (either WPA2 or WPA) does not allow the phone to go into Deep Sleep.
(according to CPU SPY at WPA, and my fingers touching the warm back of the phone with WPA2)

Hi,
i have flashed the "new rom" from pandawillforum. But be carefull, after flashing i wasnt able to start the phone, it softbricked the phone, but i was able to unbrick it. Before you will flash it, take the PRELOADER file from a good known working rom and replace it. Then try to flash it, it will work now.
I have used the phone without the simcard, Wifi was enabled, Gmail synchronization also, i have used the phone for about 5 days, wakeup issue didnt reappeared. Camera is working also. Just search in the forum for H920 and you will find many topics, but i can also post the link here:

Like i said, use a good working preloader, you can take it also from an older ROM, doesnt matter.

This ROM does include a working preloader (maybe has been changed?)
Anyway, when I flash this ROM, it works, but problems persist.
No change.

HI guys, Please could some one upload the 8GB rom flashable with CWM recovery I can not do it with flashtools my usb conenctor is damaged...

THANK YOU for any support and have a nice day
Modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
Just for the case that someone do not know how to replace boot.img (kernel 2014) and replace camera drivers I am uploading modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
No flickering screen,No back camera bug or green camera,No unlock freez yet.
Only bad thing is battery usage, maybe because my USB connector is damaged.I do not know try it out and share your results about the baterry please.
LINK (CWM zip file) :
mediafire.com/download/v3n65fltmwka52z/ROM_NOTE3_Kernel_2014_H920+.+Cam.Drivers.HanyxX.zip
Gave it a try.
Installation did work, but I missed keyboard.
Did install keyboard from APK.
Then tried to root. Framaroot said "ok", but Superuser did not work.
Tried to install Superuser by CWM method, but that ended in a startup-loop.
Had to Flash back Stock-ROM to recover.
Maybe try tomorrow again.
OK, Gave it a second try. This time without trying to root.
Well, the wake up issue does not exist anymore.
Unfortunately, it´s just because the phone does not start to Deep Sleep anymore.
It reduces processor rate, but does not start Deep Sleep.
That´s the cause for higher battery consumption.
By the way:
- The package of my phone is not labeled "Tianhe", but "CGC".
- Both cameras did work with this Rom.
- My phone has 8GB of memory and stock ROM is 03/2014

Hello,
I have tried the last modified version of this rom but the camera is not working for me..not frontal one,not the back one..i have tried all roms from needrom(tianhe,mlais or star...)..no one is proper to have working camera...any advice
I did reset my phone with this firmware from Pandawill Forum (8GB version). The firmware is for H920+ that are produced after March 2014.
It seems, that there has been a change of camera hardware.
http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?25569-ROM-ROM-for-Tianhe-H920&p=136188&viewfull=1#post136188
This seems to be real stock.
If your phone is produced after March, 2014 and this firmware does not solve the problem, there is a high probability that it is defective.
How to find out?
How can i find out what is the date manufacture of my phone?

Hello,
After trying all firmwares from panda and needrom i find that there is a hardware problem. BAD CONNECTION between board and camera conector!
Try to open the phone and press firmly camera connector to the board. Then put above something thick 1 mm (non metal) to hold the connector in same position.
It's worked fine for me. Good luck to you!:good:

Battery shows negative value

Hello guys,
I've recently bought a Redmi Note 3 Pro (3GB RAM) and the first time I booted it up it showed that it has -2% battery life. Since this seemed strange I tried to charge for several hours, but no change was noticed. I then tried with a battery calibration app, tried factory reset and restarting the phone, but nothing helped. I am also not able to go in recovery mode for hard reset as it states that there is no charge ...
The strange thing is that the phone is working for now and I am using for a second day with still the same bug. This leads me to believe that the problem is most likely caused by incorrect battery stats saved on the phone, but I am not sure. I am also not willing to root it or flash it since it is brand new and I might lost the warranty.
Can you guys suggested me a solution for this or the problem is not easily recoverable?
Thank you for the time and answers!
I have the exact same problem, tried resetting everything, I suspect it is a hardware problem.

Try updating, I had this issue with custom ROM's something certain boot images have this bug.
I flashed a new boot image and bug was gone but had no wifi reverted back to latest global stock via MiFlash.
If you have TWRP try the ROM here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/ it seems ok.
Did anyone find a fix for this issue. I have the same problem. Battery percentage shows negative 2% and I can't get into recovery because of that. When I press Power and Volume + It shows the battery icon in red and won't let me into recovery. I have the Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon version.
I tried flashing a couple of ROMs via MiFlash with no positive results.
Maybe a bit late, but the "camera fix" in this Thread fixed my "-2%"-Battery

Just flash with TWRP.

What rom are you using?

The camera fix works only with Santosh's CM13, not with other CM/AOSP roms
the new kernel Radon V1.8 by Umang96 does not fix the battery problem

The Radon V1.8 Kernel actually causes this bug on MIUI based roms, so don't flash the kernel.
Radon Version 1.9 will resolve the battery bug on MIUI and other roms.
Talking about cm/aosp I tried almost all combination kernel/rom.
No success except for this particular cm with camera patch.
Same problem with battery, showing -2% but phone is working... Plz provide solution asap
If u run MIUI, just download FASTBOOT ROM, restart phone to FASTBOOT MODE and flash ROM using this tool. But if u run custom ROM just flash custom kernel (like RADON).

Fixed the -2% Bug on latest CM13-Snapshot for me!
You Sir are awesome
flashed the latest global firmwareware(not developer one) solved my issue, also now my phone updates OTA.
Use only the official rom. custom that sellers flash usually is a junk just with additional options for menu's language!

Flash the latest miui ROM in edl mode using miflash. That is the answer.
No
No that is not the answer it's a hardware issue short circuit in motherboard

Hmm, well flashing an official ROM in edl mode has fixed this problem for many people, including myself. So it would seem that in most cases at least it IS a software issue that can be fixed by flashing.
My phone came from Banggood and a vendor ROM that wouldn't even support my FP reader, Goodix, and which booted up with the -2% battery bug out of the box. Flashing the official global stable ROM, 8.0.2.0 at that time, fixed all of the issues.
Hmmm may be sir but that doesn't seem to fix mine although mine is from xiaomi only and the problem came after using 6 month suddenly without any reason one morning
Ok guys there are 2 solutions to this problem one is drain your battery and don't charge it for 2 3 days drain it like he'll coz after switch off still some juice is left you have to drain completely and other rapid method is open your redmi note 3 and disconnect battery cable and reconnect it... The problem is not software its hardware where battery reading stuck at minimal which is - 2 ... Thinking minus two hours coz at zero still some battery left for edl and fastboot mode time and alarm... Fixed my redmi note 3 hope it will help you.. Coz tried all method format... 10 times flash all roms through fastboot mode Coz updater mode won't work coz of low battery reading... Enjoy guys
I am having a same issue with redmi note 3 SD version. Tried everything Global BETA ROM, STABLE ROMs but didnt solved my issue. Showing -2% bettery in every ROM which i have flashed.
I am facing a similar problem where my phone showed -2 as battery level but my phone is not booting at all without any charger attached. and even when the chargr is connected it boots upt the Mi Logo and then displays an empty battery which wont charge even when tried for hours. Please help

I want to know if anyone fix this?? Please help.

Deep Sleep Issues, event wakelocks 0-8

Hey everyone. redoing my thread now that we have tried alot of solutions, hopefully someone has a vague idea of what we can do to my phone lol.
So then, my phone (redmi note 3 snapdragon) refuses to go into deep sleep no matter what combination I've tried.
Tried Combos
1. RR+ radon and agni
2. Miui 8 stable and dev preview (7.1.5 and 8.1.1.0)+ stock, radon, and neon kernel (flashing using miflash with unlocked bootloader official)
3. Cm13 latest nightly+ radon, stock, and agni
4. Nitrogen os+ nagato kernel (current rom)
All combinations we're tried with clean installs (factory data, system,cache and internal storage)
Hardware methods tried
1. Physically disconnecting fingerprint sensor (goodix)
now then, with wakelock detector, we can see im troubled with a 99% awake time, along with 100,00's of event wakelocks over 6hours, now event wakelocks deal with the actual hardware of the phone from what i've seen, which makes little sense to me because the screenshot i am attaching was just over an entire night of not touching the phone. so why it has any activity is bizarre to me. so heres what we have tried so far on my previous thread.
Tried methods of fixing event wakelocks
1. Greenify, force doze, wakelock blocker and blocking everything in frustration. deep sleep battery saver.
2. physically deleting events one by one (going into dev/input/eventx (x being wakelocks 1-10) after deleting some my display eventually stopped working, most likely because i just deleted the event that controls the lcd i assume. rebooting fixed the problem and remade the events in their directory so no harm done.
3. removing zram usage figuring it was a thrashing problem (saw a thread in the hd desire of the same issue. didnt help sadly.
4. flashing modem in radon thread, ended up making my phones earpiece not work for calls and still had the wakelocks.
5. disabling gps, along with auto brightness and auto rotate
so then if anyone needs any other information just let me know, currently using an iPhone for the time being so im desperate lol. but still id rather fix and find the problem then go for returning the phone. better to solve a problem for future people in my shoes then just thrust it away is how i see it. also someone bug the strix and darkstrix about this maybe they know the solution. anyway thanks for reading and i hope we can fix my phone soon
^Update^ now using epic rom 7.1.12 from the xda thread, still got wakelocks on stock without any other apps.
I have same problem in all versions of stock MIUI Rom. I too tried all sorts of combination but the problem remains. Finally I'm using RR Rom 5.7.4 (20161113 build) + radon Kernel. My deep sleep problem have been solved (though not 100%). Now my phone looses very little battery in standby time like 1-2% over a night. Before RR Rom I tried many custom Rom but had same problem. If you have not tried the ROM (RR Remix 20161113) I've mentioned above give it a try. Best Of Luck.
Thanks rj I'll install and post logs after work. Fingers crossed that it fixes my problem.
use the rom android 6.0.1 with module powernap , u can fix it !!
http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.jzhang.powernap
Small update: testing stamina mod currently with xposed. ressurection remix will be next only because xposed seemed a bit easier lol
Well damn :/ tried RR rom and still nothing sadly, also powernap with RR didn't do anything as well. both were tried with radon and agni kernels
Then once try nexus rom i am getting good battery life in this rom too.

surer rj which one?
Having same problem.. Battery is draining very fast in idle mode.. Deep sleep is not working in any rom.. Something is keeping cpu awake.... If u find any solution then plz let me know bro.. Thanks
That happens to me when background data enabled . when i disable backround data through data usage settings , the battery backup gets better, but sure my social apps wont sync.
It seems the wakelock come from android system itself , go check logcat and you will get messages like "ANDR_PERF_RESOURCES FAILED TO APPLY PERFORMANCE" , the likes of "decided to move IRQ from cpu0 to cpu1" , and the likes of "FPC listener : waiting..." , thats all that i notice and thats happening every single milisecond on every MM roms i have tried so far....
Well when i used miui 7 LL global didnt get that much messages on logcat , but its LL ...
I guess the problem is related to source code , i dont know .
Did you try to disable fingerprint also? In many previous ROM this solved the issue.

Poor network signal also can cause this issue. My old carrier had crappy signal, once I switched, it increased my phone's battery since the new network has much better signal.

Hey hopefully we find an answer buddy
Yesterday I want to flash 7.3.2.0 xiaomi.eu version (clean install via twrp), but get bootloop. Than I flashed official global developer version (7.1.19) (fastboot via miflash, flash all), nothing better, except android system used 6%, android 39% and dex2oat 20%.
Can somebody try 7.3.2.0 version, from earlier posts is visible, that this version rocks, all later versions have issues.

i believe last time i tried 7.3.2.0 it gave me constant reboots and lagged quite a bit. but i also heard it was the best for battery so i can try flashing through miflash again after work. im also going to be trying this rom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...nzo-lldlm18-1-3m866beta-real-factory-t3375250. since it uses edl mode instead of fastboot so hey maybe that will knock something lose?
Well, right now I'm trying to get it working - without luck. I can flash 7.3.2. with miflash via edl without troubles, phone started normaly, all seems good, until "No service" for gsm signal. Bad luck. I think that modem version from that old flash is not compatible with hardware.
But it looks so good - Android takes 20% and Android system 6%...
