I've searched the forum but I didn't see a similar issue.
My phone is new, I bought it a few days ago and it came with 2.2.1 froyo.
As a xda user, I started to search for roms and decided to try the CodeROM v2x-2b.
I flashed KPN and then the CodeROM. The flashing process ran without problems.
The system is running well except for 2 problems:
One of the problems is that when I'm using the phone, sometimes it's screen turns off. Sometimes it turns on after a moment, with a very high bright level. Other times it just remains off.
In both cases I must press the power button twice (as I was locking and unlocking the phone) and it comes back in lock screen (wich means the system doesn't freeze, it's just a screen issue).
Sometimes it happens quite often, sometimes it takes a while to happen.
I flashed Gls-mt-ROM today but the problem continues. For me, it indicates it's not a Rom problem.
The other problem I'm still gonna research a little more before posting here.
Does someone have a clue about what can this problem be?
Edit:
I reflashed CodeRom with the brazilian modem file from this thread.
Until now, seems to solved the screen problem. Seem to solved other 2 problems too (GPS and wifi).
I can't figure how screen and modem are connected.
Does this information make any sense?

Hey!
Dose you done the WIPE? Factory settings?
CHEERS!

Yes.
I think I did it before and after flashing the CodeROM (the tutorial was saying to do so) and before flashing the Gls-mt-Rom.
I don't think doing it again will solve the problem. Should I think that?

My phone keeps freeze when I have turned the wifi on.
When I turned on the wifi, and wait for a while,
it will disconnect and keep re-connect.
This made my phone almost freeze,
what wrong about my phone??
Bit vague there. A bit of info about your setup might help (kernel, rom, etc). We're not mindreaders
Oh, sorry.
I am using SpeedMod K2-19,
Simple & Clean v2.4.3 rom.
And this problem occurred in 2days ago,
I have reinstalled the rom with 4 wipe.
But the problem is still there.
Hope you can answer me.
I have flashed another rom ROMOW-V1.
It is a new rom which launch recently.
The wifi issue seems to be disappear,
but it still needs to wait for a few days to confirm.
Thank you
Unfortunately, the issue has not gone.
It still annoys me which cause my phone sleep of death twice.
I want to find out what's happen to my phone, thank you!!
Hey guys, long time xda user but never really bothered making an account and posting lol, but **** just got serious so I need some specific help. So I have been flashing roms almost since the first day I got this phone, never had a problem not even flashing ICS roms. But in this case, I was running [ROM] Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-FishmanMod Final and it was working perfect, had battery for days, no lag , and everything was smooth as usual. Then out of the blue, my vibrant decides to shutdown(no I still got plenty of battery left), so I wouldnt call this an infinite reboot because it doesnt reboot it just shuts down every time I turn it back on! It usually shuts down a couple of secs after I turn it on. And now im having a hard time even getting to CWM. I tried odin(multiple times) but no cigar, problem still persist. WTF . Does anyone know what I can do?
You could try to wipe everything if the phone dosent shutsdown, did you try using Heimdall(I think thats the name) and what especific problem you have with Odin?

Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago my phone started freezing randomly when navigating through menus, when turning on the screen or just during stand by. It reboots almost every night and I find it in the morning in the "enter pin" screen. I have been using the Omega Rom series for a long time, and I was using v38 when this began to happen, but by that time I had already been with the same ROM for a long time with absolutely no problem. Yesterday I updated to v39 and the phone is totally unstable, it freezes every 5 minutes and I have to remove the battery.
How can I know if this comes from a hardware or a software problem? Is there any way to log what the phone does so I can check what goes on by the time it freezes?
Thank you very much.

you could try to do a logcat report.
did you try different kernels?
Yes I did, I tried the stock kernel and Siyah too, but I get the same problem. Any other recommendation?
I will get started with the logcat thing, I hope I can find something. Thank you!
My droid4 kep doing the same exact thing when I attempted to listen to my music player, and I ended up finding trojan and I didn't find it with any of the AntiVirus' that you find on Android I ended up finding it with pandas usb vaccine when I plug the phone in to the laptops usb port.. And it doesn't do it at all anymore
I tried 3 AntiVirus ' from Google, AVG + lookout+ .AND avast..!!! Nothing picked it up. :banghead:

if it is not the kernel, I would try to setup the phone from scratch with first, a stock Samsung rom, see how it goes, and if anything is ok, flash a custom rom and test again.
Usually, for me, I do not stop with just a factory reset but use a "mega" wipe to delete (not format) anything related on the phone even if some think this is not necessary.

Hi.
I've been having similar issues for over a week now. And have removed some programs and setting trying to find the cause. Eventually what has prevented freezing is when I turn the screen power saving in power saving settings on. I'm thinking the GPU might be somehow damaged or something.
I have only installed the official updates to the phone. Currently I'm at 4.1.2 NEE.
Ive been using custom roms for ages but got fed up with apps and certain not working so I wiped everything and installed stock ics via odin, I then upgraded all the way up to 4.1.2 via the Samsung upgrade utility but....... now my phone freezes sometimes ive never had this before. ...? Im on ella btu

I have been doing further investigation and I've seen that it is not that the phone freezes, it is just that you cannot have any interaction at all with it. The screen is blocked, the buttons do not respond and the phone does not make any sound, but I know it is alive! I know it because whenever an app is doing something, after restarting the phone by pulling out the battery I see that that process has been completed or if I dial my own number from another phone I get tone, although the phone appears to be completely dead...
Does this situation have a name and a specific solution...?

Hi, I had CM10.1 running for a while. Since a few weeks I got random freezes when I wanted to turn on the screen it stayed off (LED was flickering, so the phone was still on). After a forced reboot (vol up+power button) it worked, but as it kept happening I wanted to try a full wipe. By the way: it happened every single night too, my phone was flickering its LED, but didnt react, and also alarm wasnt working (FML).
When messing around with this (I'm not really an expert at flashing/CM) and trying to restore my phone with TitaniumBU it kept freezing when working (to) fast. So I tried a lot with formatting SD, doing other wipes etc. Nothing really seem to help, as the random freezes kept happening.
Now I've installed the stable CM9, but already had freezes (even with the startup wizard in the beginning). I'm getting the feeling that its some hardware related issue. Can anybody tell me more about these problems, and mayb what else I can try.
Last try is to turn it al back to Touch Wiz, unroot, but I have to figure out how to. Hope this will solve it.

Sorry, plz move my thread where it belongs (im noob).
After some searching I found that it might not be a CM related problem, but something with 'sudden death' happening to more people with other ROMs or even without custom roms.

New development: my phone is now stuck at Samsung GSIII logo. Doesn't go further from there. I'm planning to go to Samsung with it. It is not unrooted, so my Q is;
can they see that it is rooted when the phone doesn't get past the boot logo?
Hi!
I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S II. Basically the phone stops responding after locking the screen. I've searched for a very long time and tried various fixes but none worked. The phone works fine until I lock the screen (doesn't matter if any pattern/pin etc. is set), then instead of locking, the screen dims and after a while phone restarts (and then sometimes enters bootloop). I've already tried changing ROMS, changing Kernels, using different chargers, different batteries, preventing phone from entering deep sleep and cleaning (inside and outside). The most strange thing about it is that it's not happening all the time, but if it happens, then the only partial fix which make phone work again is not using it at all for a few weeks. Do you know what can be the cause of this?
Thank you in advance.

It happened about ~1 year after buying the phone. I don't know if it's important but the first thing to stop working was the speaker (it still doesn't work at all). Then the issue happened for the first time. I thought it's something with my ROM so I changed it and that stopped it from happening for ~6 months. But then it started again, and since then changing ROMs doesn't help at all. Thank you for your reply.

Did you buy your phone online and from a trusted source? You seem to have a dodgy s2. Problems like this usually shouldn't occur just after 1 year.

It was bought in a retail store of a mobile operator. One more thing I forgot to mention is that bottom touch keys sometimes refuse to work. At this point I'm pretty sure it's a hardware related problem.
