Hi Guy's I figure there must be someone here that can help me with this phone? I have a problem my phone seems to run Good for several day's then begins to lock up so I do a soft reset and that seems to completely screw things up to the point where the processor is running at 50% and never seems to recover? I end up having to hard reset all the time? I don't have a lot on the phone just a few Applications. This is my forth phone in the last year and the folks at Big Red simply will not help! I am running a stock ROM because this is a company phone and I was told that it you flash it voids the warranty? Anyone have any ideas to what can be causing these crashes???
Thanks

It could be that the page-pool of the stock rom is set incorrectly, which eventually causes the device to slow down. My adivce... flash to something else, and then simply relock the device if you have to return it for whatever reason. No one will be able to tell that the damn thing was unlocked at any point in time.
Hi
Recently my S2 just stopped reading my SIM when I was going to call someone. Since then it has refused to read my SIM, or any other SIM for that matter.
To fix this problem I've tried resetting the phone to factory settings (in 3 different ways ( hard-reset.com/samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-hard-reset.html )) with no luck.
I've also tried installing alternative ROM's, but with the same result.
The phone was already rooted with an insecure kernel when this happened, so warranty is long gone.
Though, one thing I did realize was that even though I did hard-reset the phone several times, some of the settings on the phone remained untouched, like my locking pattern and a few other settings. Does this mean that hard-resetting the phone isn't really an actual hard-reset? If that's so, is there any way to properly 100% reset the phone?
In short; I'm running out of options on how to fix this. I refuse to believe it's hardware related, just because I'm stubborn like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (really).

You can refuse to believe in gravity too, but falling from high distances will still hurt.
If you tried more than one SIM in the phone and none work, but those same SIMs work in other phones, than more than likely, it is hardware related.
Did you check you imei?
078gregory brings up a good point. So if it's not missing IMEI info, THEN it's likely hardware.
Isn't it funny how everything suddenly works itself out once you cry out for help?
Today I've been trying around 10 different ROM's on the phone. Custom and stock. As one last attempt I gave a random ICS 4.0.3 march ROM a last try, and guess what. I got the SIM prompt. I can not believe it. So yeah, it's working now. I have no idea what caused it, but I believe the phone was stuck in flight mode somehow, and just needed an extra push to get out.
Either way, it's working like a charm now. Thanks for the replies though.

Hi people. I have the same problem Habitats decribes. Mi s2 is stuck in flightmode and cant get out! i have reset the phone in every kind of way but no succes. Now i read here on this forum that flashing my phone to ICS 4.0.3 can help solve the problem. I'm on 2.3.6 now. This flightmode thing happened al over sudden. I have done nothing strange with the phone. Its not rooted either. I was planning to go to a samsung servicepoint and let them check whats wrong. But now i read this thread and see that i can relate to this problem of Habitats. I think a also will try to flash ICS 4.0.3 and watch what happens. But theres another problem. KIES don't recognize my phone anymore so what can i do? Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance
I'm having the exact same problem, could you please tell me which rom worked for you Habitats? Thanks in advance!
Update:Last tuesday i went to the vodafone store were they have a samsung service department also. I explained my problem to them but they don't seem to recognize the problem. Although i read that many people here at xda's and over the internet have similar issues with this phone.Strange! So they sent it to the repair centre. Yesterday i could see in the track and trace menu of the repair centre that my fone was ready and send back to the vodafone store. Status: Boardswap. So they swapped the whole board! Didn't know that the problem was that serious! So i hope i can pickup my galaxy s2 soon this coming week!! I can't wait!I'm on my old HTC Touch HD now. Its ok with the windows but on Android....Arggghh!! Whatsapp is a pain and more. Its so laggy!. I will give an update soon again!
Hi
I'm new here so sorry if i do any mistake in my post. And im french so please forgive me my errors.
I've research like a maniac all over the web, i looked in like 109372949927 forums and XDA seem to be the one who help the most.
Ok here is my problem and i just dont know where to start, i never read that someone had a problem like mine and im serious when i say that i looked everywhere, i looked everywhere at least 4 hours a day for now 5 weeks. So imagine.
I have a Ulefone Be pro by mediatek... Yup cheap chinese phone but it was working like magic.
Then one day while i was shopping on ebay, my screen froze and my phone was unresponsive .. So i took out the battery.
To my horror, when it turned back on, its like if i did a major factory reset, all my app, my picture , everything was gone. And also, it was written on my phone, no service. Its not working either for txt or call or what ever, just the wifi work.
Also, when i turn it back on, i notice that my phone internal memory was completely saturated by some system file , i mean completely full ,so full i cant even sync an account to go to google play store cuz the memory is to low. I cant take a picture also...
So it doesnt recognize my sim.
I did try to flash it with sp tool, with the same rom, with a different one, with download only and the other one with the preloader select,i did all the option available in the recovery menu, but nothing is working. At all.
My phone tell me that i have no app at all to make phone call or txt even if the built in one are in there
Also the battery is getting empty really quicly.
I have unknown imei, and everything in about phone is unavailable...
I really need help of someone... The company where i bought it are so unprofessional.. Never ever buy from gearbest. Ever. They answer my email 6 days later and make my warranty pass cuz they were taking to much time to answer. I mean i have my phone for 2 month... And they are really really bad... They dont want to help.me at all always sending the same copy paste message... Uurrgghhhhhh
With all the research i did i didnt even come close to find someone with this problem. Even on french forum some guys try to help me but it just didnt work...
Seriously its like a quest this problem so i need a experienced adventurer to help me. Im not rich at all and it took me time to put money aside for this phone and i cant buy an other one. I just cant.
And the phone turn on so in my head im sure there is something to do to fix it... Please please please help me
I don't know what happened but I have lost ability to iris unlock and use Samsung Pay without setting secure lock screen since a couple of days ago. Not sure why, tried restarting and cleaning cache memory in S. Pay and S Pass but to no avail. Anyone experiencing same thing? Is there any workaround? To bad if this is not fixable since I used this alot.. I am not rooted and worked like charm untill few days ago. Any help would be appreciated.
Correct me if I'm wrong, i think is Samsung Pay updated which required u do that now.

@koolboyztn is correct Samsung changed it and you're required to have a secure lock screen because it would be rather easy for someone to steal your information from your phone if you ever lose it or if someone steals it.. The way it's setup now they won't be able to get any information from it..
Hi everyone. I have this redmi 5 plus phone from a friend, which they gave to a kid as a toy. The situation right now with the device is that the kid locked the screen with a PIN somehow, and even if she could figure out the password she set, she also shattered the screen and 90% of touchscreen is not responsive atm. There are some photos from the wedding to be copied to a new phone, so I was wondering what are the chances with this issue? Things we need are photos and if possible stored contacts and that's it. Can't figure what version of firmware it is though, as half of the screen doesn't work. The recovery is stock as well
Thanks in advance for any help.
Is usb debugging enable then maybe. But normally nobody have it on, sorry. No recovery.
