Hi, Have had Galaxy S 2 for 5 weeks, it was working properly up until the screen failed last week, went off for official repair, came back fixed, all good I thought....But a New Issue Has Manifested
The methods of toggling through having sound on or in silent mode are giving false indications......
In phone options, which are entered by a long press on the power button, the first option is silent mode on / off, but the phone is doing the exact opposite to what it says! I have missed a couple of important calls because I checked the phone status this morning when I came out of a meeting, it said "Silent Mode On" So I hit it to activate Silent mode off, which it displayed, however, got to office and 2 calls had been missed, the phone was not ringing out at all...! (Even though it was displaying silent mode off) when I toggled bact to silent mode on, it would then ring???!???
I have soft reset, hard reset, and neither has made a difference. Now, do I send phone back again and be without it for 10-12 days, or is there a simple fix/issue I am missing here? If it was a Nokia, I would have re-installed the firmware as the next action, but cannot work out how to do this on a Samsung Galaxy S 2.
If I choose phone update in about phone, it tells me no new updates available.. There does not seem to be a re-install existing firmware route to take.
Please advise?
Thanks in anticipation;

factory restore reinstalls the existing firmware .

Hmm, well it cannot be that then, can it... Any ideas why phone is "Cross Wired" for want of a better explanation for the Silent On / Off reversal?
Cheers;

Here's some of the problems that I am having....
1. When using phone, I occasionally cant hang up - whether I use the screen button or the pushbutton - the only thing that lets me end the call is a soft reset. Imagine!!!
2. Yesterday, for no reason, the ringtone for an incoming call played 2x faster than it should have (ie. the speed of the song was doubled)
3. Just after I notice the ringtone song issue, I tried to use voice dial, and the prompts for voice dial were also playing twice as fast, a soft reset seemed to have fixed the problem... lets see if it happens again.
4. After installing WM6 Crossbow Underground, I was having problems not getting ANY calls, so I upgraded the Radio Rom to 2.61.11 and it seemed to work, BUT then I started noticing that I was getting SOME CALLS AND NOT AL CALLS, so I switched back to 2.25.11 Radio Rom
5. Under Regional Settings > Time ...I tried to switch to 24HR mode and using it for a while, I went back in to revert back to the 12HR mode but it wouldn't let me switch back to 12 hour mode.
6. When I touch the screen to Turn ON Flight Mode (shut off the radio), and then touch the screen to Turn OFF the Flight Mode, the dialogue STILL says Turn ON Flight Mode, even though its already ON (it should change to say, Turn OFF Flight Mode).
7. I was just on the phone with someone when a text msg arrived, and it booted me off the call I was on (it hung up).
8. When on a call, I touched the Mute botton on the screen to MUTE the call, but when I tried to UNmute the call it wouldn't let me.
9. Did anyone notice that the SIMPLE LOCK (4 digits) now requires you to click on the unlock button after entering the code? WM5 didn't require this, if you entered the right 4 digits, you were in, without having to press anything else.
10. When I am on a call, and another call comes in (call waiting), I cannot answer or ignore the other call... it doesn't respond to me whether using the touchscreen or the buttons.
And there's MORE that I will post another time.
Any suggestions or solutions, to these problems?
Actually I would recomend you upgrade to Most Beautiful version
I used Underground version, and Office Mobile doesn't work too
Everything is ok here with MB (search with this and you'll find it in piratebay under applications) version
Where is the "Most beautiful edtion"?

well to start with, i bought this samsung galaxy s2 mobile, it has been working absolutely fine until 3 days ago. My battery was low and it went into flight mode, i connected my mobile to the wall charger and it started charging up but since then, my mobile is in flight mode, i keep turning it off and it internally goes into flight mode, in settings it shows its off but on top bar of my screen, there is the flight icon, i cant make or receive any calls/texts since this started happening, I tried soft reset (removing the battery for few mins), didnt work. I tried to factory reset my mobile but its asking for some password, i tried my google password from which i configured the device at the time of purchase, but it says the password is incorrect. Pls help
Thanks

Make sure that when you enter your password you are connected to your/a wifi network because I assume you don't have mobile internet on flight mode.
Also, this may sound stupid but make sure you don't have any app or WIDGET that enables/disables fly mode, also long press your power button until the popup and see if flightmode is disable there too.
Last, go into your Phone Information and make sure you have a baseband and an Imei
*#06# on your dialer.
security password to protect your data,assuming you tried to master reset in android,if you didnt make one and have warranty,take it back, because the other process will void your warranty

I'm having the same problem, but i assume that i got it when the phone was updated OTA to 4.0.3 (LPG). I certainly did'nt have the problem beforehand.
It's absolutely useless to try to disable flightmode, both with powerbutton and manually inside settings - the phone never goes out of flightmode, even that it says that flightmode is disabled in settings, and when pressing powerbutton.
My solution though, is to disable flightmode and rebooting the phone. That works, but i don't know if that solves your specific problem. Irritating problem though - it somehow destroys the feeling of a good phone...
I was so happy with my "new" (replacement because of Camera issue) M7 from AT&T, everything works great now except this morning while typing a text I lost haptic feedback. Sometimes that happens and closing and reopening usually brings it back, but this did not work. It seems now the phone doesn't vibrate at all. When you shut down or reboot, no vibrate, turn on and off any of the settings nothing. Go into diagnostic mode (*#*#3424#*#*) and do vibrate test nothing. If I slap the phone against a desk for like 20 seconds I get ONE vibrate out of it and thats it. (either I can do the test, or it will vibrate when I boot the phone).
I'm assuming I'm screwed and need yet ANOTHER replacement from AT&T, am I correct? Does someone know any trick to make it work?
Hi, whenever i tried setting my phone mode to vibrate or silent . It will automatically revert back to sound mode
Tried restart my phone however problem still occur
Anyone occur this before?
This is happening to me on the Tmobile version on Oreo.
Count me in. Same issue with mine.
Hello, i have this problem with my Nokia 7.2 with Android 10 and all availabile updates - Every time someone calls me (No matter if i answer the phone or not) my phone changes from vibrate/silent mode to ring mode, jsut like that. This is very disturbing and i am having this problem about half a year now (not sure exactly), but when i get this phone this was not happening.
Any suggestion what to do? I have newest updates and even tried to factory reset the phone.
Thanks.
