Hey i was using my s2 recently and i found a bue dot on the bottom left area of the screen ...
any idea on how to remove this dot?i think it could be a stuck pixel....please help me out
Have you tried dead pixel fixing apps on android market? There are a couple such as this one http://bit.ly/xjyCpk
If you have and it does not work, try doing a factory reset.
IF that doesn't work, get a replacement.
Hey guys, so I just updated my att galaxy s2 via kies to android ICS however after that I've ran into some problems.
After updating however I encountered a period where the screen went black and the phone kinda just died on me. After restarting I began to encounter some problems. For some reason, whenever the phone goes to sleep and and then wakes up, my screen gets flipped upside down and the screen gets really bright. Despite that, I still have to press the screen like usual. Which means that if the call button is at the top after flipping, I still have to press the bottom of my screen. Also the screen isn't perfectly flipped and there is space above the top bar.
However, the phone does work fine on bootup, and only fails after it sleeps. Also, very recently my phone just went through a screen repair after the screen cracked under the glass, but otherwise that I have no clue what's going on.
Is this just a poor repair and a hardware problem or is their another problem here?
Also I've tried a factory reset and that didn't help.
Thanks for any help you can give.
(Hopefully I got the right board)

considering this board is all about CUSTOMIZING devices... I dunno about that. Maybe try the AT&T site?
Maybe one of our divas will be kind enough to help anyway.
Yes, I mean divas, also referred to around here as devs. I <3 u all!

Yeah I kinda got that gist =P
but, after searching through the web, there weren't really a lot of sites that I came across detailing about my problem, but this was one of the sites that came up a lot so I was just hoping if anybody, just anybody could help me out with this.

There are alot of things that could go wrong when flashing ROMs.
All of the custom ROMs here have built in safeguards which allow users to recover from issues involved with flashing. The same cannot be said about stock builds.
Unfortunately, your options are limited if you're going to stay stock. You can either try a factory reset and re-installing the update via KIES or you can call AT&T. That's pretty much it.
Personally, i'd Mobile Odin a rooted package with CWM and start flashing some of the wonderful work the developers have graciously allowed us to partake.

OP, I agree with the sentiment here, but you can't use mobile odin until your are already rooted. One option you could follow the guide linked in my signature to root the phone and go from there.
My personal suggest is that if you're running stock ROM, updating an official stock ROM and having problem, I call the provider for help.
My download and install went fine but I incounterd some unusual problems afterwards. My phone doesn't always keep a data signal while browsing the internet and a phone reboot makes it return. Setting browsers home to Google instead of default AT&T doesn't stick. I also had few dropped calls and very low signal bars in status bar at my house which gingerbread gave me full ones.
same here

I just got my screen replaced and have the exact same problem, factory reset did not help either.
Did you managed to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi everyone, hope you can help me beacause im at my witts end.
In the last year, my galaxy s2's screen has occasionally stopped responding, the os was still running and everything so it wasnt frozen, my touch screen just simply stopped working. Only way to fix it was to hit the back of the phone and do a battery reset. This issue started poping up more and more, and now it won't respond.
Some info you might want to know:
Model: GT-I9100M
Age:~2 1/2 years old
No custom roms/kernels have ever been installed, has always run off the stock.
Never been dropped or had water on it (I took very good care of it)
The nav bar at the bottom (back/search/options/menue) and hardware buttons all work. Everything above the screen no longer works.
What iv done:
Iv reset the phone, did a bettery pull for the night, fully charged it, looked at the board and checked all the connections (all good). Would flashing a custom rom/kernel be something to try next? I read in a forum that someone had a similar issue to me and did that, but it didnt help.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their touchscreen? Why would the bottom nav bar work but no the rest of the screen? Could it be locked somehow? If it is.. how would I unlock it?
Thanks alot guys..

Hello everyone, since XDA is a place where all the smart heads meat it's the best place to ask questions.
Yesterday I had my SGS3 LTE cleaned up by hard reset. When I passed the configuration screen and main screen pops up Touch Screen was no working at all... It's happening all the time now, I was trying to Hard Reset it again and the same thing happen.
It can't be hardware failure since it would not work at all... so any idea what can it be?
Thanks in advance for help!
No one ever had something like that? Doh
Hi everyone,
I have my S2 since 4 and a half years. During this long life (for a phone) i was experimented some troubleshoot easy to solve. Now i have a tricky one. The other day the phone suddenly the image stuck freeze, so i remove the battery and turn on again. Then appear a screen telling me that "phone has unsuccessfully encrypted" so is necessary make a factory reset. On that screen only appear one button "factory reset". At that point i decide restart the phone and then is when this one never turn on again.
I have 2 batteries and is the same with both of them. Additionally the phone gets hot when the battery is placed on the slot.
Please if any have a advice to discover what is the problem and how to solve i will appreciate.

What firmware were you running on your phone? If it was ics 4.0.3 or 4.0.4, your device is probably doomed. If it was jelly bean or if you were running gingerbread or custom rom, there may still be hope.
Regards, gsstudios.
Im very sorry because the 8long time without reply. Finaly a get an old s4 from my dad, in order to whait for the new s7. Regarding to the s2: it was running CM lollypop. I sent it to a technical guy but i dont know what to do.
I think is death. To only thing i want by now is recover some pictures and some important data from the phone.
