How can I verify it's a hardware issue? I've tried different kernels etc but that hasn't solved it.

Are you on a custom Rom? Did the problem already exist on full stock? Please provide some information to work with

I'm on stock ROM but custom kernel. It worked with the custom kernel but I can't remember when it stopped working. I had flashed a newer version of the kernel last week so I rolled back but it didn't help.

The kernel version should match the firmware version. There is a fix in my thread, maybe it can solve your problem. You should make a backup though, no idea on which Rom, kernel you are. Might result in making the problem even worse - Short version: Maybe it will help or do something which I have no idea of. Disclaimer in my thread applies

I was using KT kernel but thought that this issue was kernel based so flashed Simple (just realised that that's yours).
My ROM is stock, screenshot attached

Wind Amaze 4G ROMs

This is my third Android phone and the first one that its a Canadian one. I used to have GS AT&T and just followed guides here because everyone had AT&T and no problems there. Now that i got Wind Mobile i dont know where to start. I did unlock the bootloader so thats one thing done right. Now all the ROMs i see in Dev section are based on T-Mobile version. Will i be able to flash them?

yes you need to flash the kernel using easy kernel flasher tool. each rom has its own kernel

Whatever ROM you flashed go back to the original thread and look for the kernel.
The ROM i am using recommends CWMFauxKernelv007 but that did not help or maybe i am doing it wrong? I just copied boot file form CWMFauxKernelv007 and flshed it with Easy Kernel Flasher. Did it 2 times and still no Data.
Flashed stock ROM back and 4G is back. Looks like APNs are gone. Is that something i must do every time since i am using T-Mobile ROMs?
Is this rom working in turkey

[Q] Bluetooth related reboots - ICS (Official ROM)

Hi,
I have BT problems. While connected to my car stereo (Sony MEX-BT3900U) for a while, the phone reboots itself. After reboot the phone doesn't automatically connects to car stereo, I have to manually reconnect. I'm using the Official ICS rom (I9100DXLP7).
This occurs during audio stream & call.
Tnx for any sugestions.

Root you phone and change you kernel

Tnx for the quick reply, will try it tonight...

I'm aware this is a noob question, but I think don't really grasp the complete flashing process:
The only thing I did was flash ROM I9100DXLP7 with Odin. I wasn't aware the kernel had to be updated manually.
Should I root first using CF-Root v5.4 LPQ, and then flash the Separate Kernel: Download (.TAR)? Both files are listed:

I have the same problem with my S2 and car stereo (Sony MEX-BT2950) had no luck after trying multiple stock / custom ROMS and even combinations of different kernels and modems. nothing worked. the only way this is going to work is to roll back to Gingerbread

I forgot to mention that this bug has happened on every ICS build i have tried right up to XXLPQ. I have just noticed there have been two releases since then, XWLP2 being the latest. i'm gonna try it and will report back with the results.

It does not its part of the firmware and root wont fix the problem either .
Although a custom kernel with a built in fix for the problem could be the answer .

good call. i'm downloading LP2 as we speak and if this does not fix the problem then I'll give one of Siyah's new beta kernels a shot as well.
EDIT: I have installed LP2 and Bluetooth streaming to the car stereo still results in a reboot after approx 15 minutes. Flashed Siyah Kernel 3.0b6 and that didn't help either. back to GB i guess.
Good news everyone!!!!!! I have found the fix! Just load following kernel (using Odin): SiyahKernel v3.0.1 (Posted on April 8, 2012). this kernel can be found at http://www.gokhanmoral.com/ . All credit go to the devolpper of the kernel.
Cheers,
Phil

Sorry but it isn't a solution. I have installed the last siyah kernel, 3.1rc6 and my phone keep on rebooting every about 15 minutes if it paired with my sony car audio system.
Has anyone found a solution?
I have the same problem. I'm using Wlp8
DULP9 and its still broken. god this sucks. im tired of having to use the slow and battery hungry GNex cos it's bluetooth, of course, works fine with my car stereo
SOLVED!!!! well for me the fix was using a CM9 based ROM. F1 Galaxy Nexus to be exact. I was able to stream via bluetooth for well over 90 minutes without any problems whatsoever. I hope this will help someone out there.
From what I can tell from some thread I found somewhere else using google, it seems that any custom rom running 4.0.4 works fine, seems to be somehow related to Samsungs 4.0.3 rom and any roms based on it (not sure about 4.0.3 roms NOT based on the Samsung rom).

According to me, you are completely right.

My 2c.
I am having the same issues. With the ROM XXLPW the problem stopped, but this ROM is not smooth and battery friendly as XWLPD that I was using before.
Today I flashed XWLPG and guess what? The reboots came back!
Where is the Bluetooth related files? Maybe using the XXLPW in the XWLPG or XWLPD we can have a trouble free ROM and smooth at the same time.

Marcello there are 3 solutions
1. given that XWLPM firmware is based on Android 4.0.4 this *might* solve the problem (i no longer have a GS2 to verify) Beware! I *think* this rom may have the dreaded "brick bug" that could permanently damage your phone. Do NOT install CWM recovery with this rom!!!!
2. install a ROM based on CynaogenMod 9 or AOKP. both are also based on Android 4.0.4
3. If you must stay on a Samsung stock ROM then downgrade to Gingerbread.
I'm pretty sure nothing else would work. I sure hope the Galaxy S3 stock roms dont have this bug as im really considering getting one this week

[Q] Bootloop (I think)

I attempted to flash rumirands kernel to my Galaxy Player 5.0 UK but when it rebooted it cannot get past the samsung screen, it goes black then restarts. I have re-flashed and flashed stock back but none have any success.I have also wiped cache and user data
Can anyone help? All advice is welcome. Thanks

The stock rom is still there, I never changed it. What did it was the kernel being changed I believe.

Thanks for the reply however I have now sorted the issue. I had forgotten about this thread hence forgotten to say it was solved. It turns out the problem was an imcompatability issue as the stock kernel everywhere is for 2.3 however in the UK we have 2.2. When it said the kernel was european I assumed it was uk. So I removed the kernel from the stock chinese 2.2 rom and put that in a .tar file and flashed that.

Hi I've got the same problem. Could you put the .tar kernel that you used up please and also did you get any further with finding a viable kernal/rom for the UK version to get 2.3?

Strange 4.2.2 ROM wifi issues

Hi there
For some reason when i flash a 4.2.2 build of a ROM the wifi doesn't seem to connect. To make sure it wasn't a one-off with a particular ROM i tried two different ones with the latest 4.2.2 build. When i type in the passcode for my wifi route it says:
Obtaining IP address,
Saved,
Authenticating.
After authenticating it just goes back to obtaining IP address. I've left it to sit for 15-20mins and it doesn't seem to progress however when i restore back to my previous 4.1.2 build the wifi connection is perfect.
Would anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks

Black screen after Dorimanx logo on RR 5.1.1

Hey there guys so I just installed the Lollipop version of Dorimanx kernel on my phone in the hopes of some better battery life with the ROM and it just gives me a black screen when booting. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help me and just ask if you need any more information. Thanks.

Since you've flashed both already, I can't think of anything else but to go back to default kernel. If you really need dorimanx kernel, have you tried downloading older versions? Did you download the zips properly? This will need to be investigated further.

Sometimes flashing it again will fix problems like this, or trying older versions first then updating to latest.
