hi, my phone has been playing up really bad. when someone tries to ring me it goes to answer phone. then the phone freezes. ive changed the rom so many times to try and overcome this problem, and nothings working. sometimes i lose GSM/3G connections and it wont connect back unless i take the battery out and restart it. its so annoying. ive upgraded the radio to all the avaliable ones and nothings changing. could anyone help me before i smash this thing up?
Thanks.
Sounds like a hardware problem to me
I don't know if it is the same problem as someone I know had, but it happened to his when it was on Vibrate mode. A change of the Radio and ROM did it for him. I think I started fresh by puuting in the 1.04 Bootloader for him. I will have to call him to ask if he still has problems.
have you tried to just hard reset it?
Probably you installed some application that is causing the trouble.

I've had this occur three times when using my phone if i lock my phone and someone calls me or texts etc notice... my phone locks and will not respond to touch/unluck phone is not froze as the time changes. But there is no way aside from rebooting to fix this. anyone experience similar? is this a 1.5 issue or just a eris issue?
i've run into this quite a bit too and usually end up having to reboot with send+end+vol_up no idea as to what is causing it tho
I have read around its from the OTA Update and you must *288 on the phone to reprogram it. its rumored to solve it also a hard reset is rumored. Im trying the *288 and will report back.
If worse comes to worses, just run the RUU posted in the Desire Dev forum. It'll do a full reinstall of the phone's software and wipe your data, but it might fix your problems.
Yup I feel I may be doing that, seen that posted as well and commented the same. I just cant wait for 2.0/2.1, Root id like but its not itching me as much as the 2.0/2.1 i want.
I have been having the same problems that it sounds like many are having. My screen freezes when I have an incoming call causing me to miss the call. Very annoying. I basically have to have the phone at stock settings for it to work correctly. Also when I have a reminder from my calendar go off it freezes so I cant slide it down to turn it off immediately. It takes about 15-30 seconds for the slider to work in both cases.
I've had this issue since the update. I've run the ruu and did a factory reset. Nothing has helped. After several hours on the phone with tech support- the new Eris is in the mail.
so far since ive done *288 to reprogram the phone i have not had the lockup issue occur.
Don't you mean *228, or is that a new one?
yes *228 sorry
I tried *228 numerous times. The new phone just froze on me this morning at the lockscreen. I figured it had to be software related.
i had the same problem it happen to me 3 time had to restart my phone i think there is a bug in the software it happen after update
Okay so this is my first post and I really hope someone can help me with my phone issues. I got my HTC HD2 this past July and it was great at first but now it drops calls like crazy. I cant make any or have any incoming calls without it dropping in the first 3 seconds not to mention I can't send sms or mms and sometimes I get a popup that says that the phone isnt connected to the modem. I have no idea what this means and I feel like just throwing it into a freaking wall! Ive changed the sim card and even called customer service and they said "I probably got stuck on a rolling bad network" whatever that means so if anyone can help me with this problem I would really really really appreciate it.
Have you tired a hard reset as a last resort? Maybe someone here may have a solution to your problem without needing a hard reset but if a hardreset does not sort things out, you should send it back in for warranty service since it's still under warranty! It sounds like a hardware problem to me though with the radio/antenna module.
If a hard reset doesn't fix it....
Try updating the rom (including the radio)....
If you don't want to wipe everything....
if you have HSPL, try flashing a new radio to it.
If you have a TMOUS branded HD2, you need to use a x.xx.50.xx radio.
Also, the radio you flash must be 2.07 or greater....
if you have hspl...you probably know that already..
Thanks you guys I will try a hard reset but one more thing...how do I do it? lol please don't think I'm wierd I'm just not up on the cellphone technology. I just love to use them not tweak and fix um' lol
Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-
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!
Hey Folks,
i ran into some really weird, yet strange Problems with my Honor 7. Let me tell you what happend:
I used my Phone on B140 for more than 2 Years without any Problems. Now i upgraded to B396 (Removed Root+ChineseTWRP, Full Update to B396, then installed TWRP+SuperSU), and used it afterwards without any Problems for like a Week or so.
Then, i was on my Way, looked something on on Facebook, turned it off, after 2 mins wanted to turn it on again - no Reaction. Totally nothing Tried booting it up Normally, to Recovery, To Fastboot - with and without plugged USB to PC, absolutely nothing happend. Had it on Power for like half an Hour, nope. I was shure it died.
The morning after, i just pressed the Powerbutton as a way 2 say goodbye - Empty Battery Sign! Wtf?! I was able to charge and use it again. Unfortunatly with some minor Problems.
- Whatever i try, when calling, i can clearly hear the other person, but the other part cant hear me. I tried it both with headsets and normal, in- or outgoing call, doesnt matter. Generally the mic is working, though. Was able to record my voice and play it back.
- Bluetooth aint working anymore. When i try to turn it on, the switch stays in the right position (doesnt change the color anyway), and afterwords its flipping back. Oh, and when i look at the "about"Section, under Bluetooth Mac it states "not available".
So. What the h*** is going on there?! Like i said, after upgrading to B396, it was working for at least a week without any problems, without the problems described above. So i highly doubt its a general problem with the upgrade/flashing. But what else?
And, any advice how to a) fix and b) prevent further failures?
Of course it would be best to know what initially caused those problems, but i really cant tell. Anyone any ideas?
Like anyone else of course, one needs a reliable phone. I mean, im happy that i can at least communicate over IM (yes, 3G/4G works without any Problems). But i'd love to make calls again, to e.g. tell my boss id be slightly belated or let mum know everythings alright :laugh:
So, any Idea what caused that, how to solve and prevent that is highly appreciated!
Greetings and Thankin u in advance!
Folks, i still have that strange Issue/Behaviour (though, of course, in the Meantime im using another Phone ).
But think that should be possible to totally, absolutely, reset the Phone, and trying to get rid of those Problems. Too Sad to see the Phone collecting dust, where it might be a great Device for a Friend.
What i did by now:
Unroot
Reflash Fastboot recovery, boot, cust, system.
Factory Reset
Update.zip in dload
But there is still no Bluetooth-Adress available, when calling i cant hear the other Person.
It somehow seems not to completely reset the phone - there are still user-data on the Phone.
As i really dont care about those data - is there something else i can do above fastboot flashing those files mentioned above, to absolutely start from a scratch?
