S2 stuck in call mode - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched around the forums and so far, most of the results were people having trouble with their phone getting stuck in recovery/boot/download mode.
My phone, however, is stuck in the call mode where the keypad takes up most of the screen. Everything else is working fine with the phone, as I can see unread text messages and other programs that running and notifying me of updates in the background. Wifi and data work fine as well.
The problem is, I can't get out of the call keypad mode and into my home screen with all my apps. I've tried restarting, turning it on/off, taking out the battery, and charging it via USB to the computer. Nothing is working! Please help :crying:

Clear data on phone & if that doesn't work maybe try a factory reset ?

Do the following steps below:
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- fix permissions (under advanced)
- reboot system now

This issue sounds familiar......like a launcher problem. I have 3 fixes:
Clear data of your launcher
or download another launcher, by trying to get to your play store app by universal search or from the playstore on the pc
if strangely none of the above works, flash another rom or reflash your rom if you like it that much
Note that this message should have been the 1st, cause if im right the two solutions you recieved above should work. The problem is if your running stock ics 4.0.4, you may end up with the emmc brick bug if you use recovery or do a factory reset. We dont know what your using since you never told us.

[Q] Factory data reset freezes when rebooting

Hi!
Device: HTC flyer
My market will stopped working, it has been a week now - I wrote all about clear cache etc. but does not work - so last solution seems to be a factory data reset.
But under the factory data reset - the screen says: "rebooting" they flyer freezes and I can't do anything. After several times trying to turn the device off; it finally says program not responding and I can close the factory reset down. But that does not solve my problem. It must be doing something under the initial rebooting as eg. my notes in "notes" are gone.
The purpose for buying the device was for downloading books and use some of the programmes from market etc. but can't download anything. Updates cannot be downloaded neither.
It stats to download but it's downloading while saying " download unsuccessfull"
Hope someone can help
Try manually going into the bootloader. Hold down and power. Then reset from there
make sure to post questions in General as this is very blatantly the wrong subforum
try the reset as described above you will need to disable fast boot though first...

Long story short, go to the following link to fix your issue. The instructions are missing two steps, you will need to download odin on a PC, it is in the same link as the article except it is under the third party apps folder. You will also need the Samsung Driver for your PC. Let me know if you still have problems.

S3 Help Needed! Broken ribbon?

Hi guys, recently my S3 started to play up on me. The screen started to flicker and would only stop when I touched (and held) the screen. From then, things have gone from bad to worse and the phone now features a completely black screen after it is powered on. Therefore I cannot see the startup animation or anything else (including the home screen etc) but can hear the notifications and vibrations.
I can fortunately use CWM as this is not effected at all and the screen works perfectly fine. I have flashed 3 different roms and wiped my whole device since the problem started hoping it was a software problem.
I have additionaly tried:
- Clear the Dalvick Cache
- Clear cache
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe all SD card data (don't ask)
Hopefully someone can help I would really appreciated it. (Not enjoying using the old Symbian phone atm) :crying:
Thanks
Make sure you are flashing roms meant for your version of the device.Try changing kernel or flash the latest stock firmware available after a factory reset. This should replace every file on your phone. Any problem would be fixed by this. Secondly what CWM do you use? Is it touch? If so does the touch work? Not likely a panel issue if the display is working in CWM, Can be a digitizer issue causing the screen to act up.

Phone stuck in a bootloop after updating apps

Hey there,
So my One X+ has been on the CM 12 for about 1 year now, but 5 days ago I was updating the apps from the google store as usual and then my phone rebooted.
It started Preparing apps, then the phone turned on. I got the message "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped”, I get an empty desktop and after 15 seconds or so the phone reboots and start the process all over (preparing apps).
Any idea what I can do to fix the issue without resetting the phone?
I found this thread here but the problem is i dont have enough time in the phone to get to safe mode.
Sorry I am not the most skilled when it comes to dealing with the android platform
Thanks for the help in advanced
Edit: Ok so I Wiped the Cache and Dalvik Cache on TWRP and managed to boot, but the desktop and all the icons are gone, the phone is extremely slow, and as i try to get to the apps section the settings to force stop trebuchet, i get Settings has crashed msg and am sent back to the desktop and after a while the phone rebooted again.
Any ideas?
You can try to install a new launcher via the PC Google store.
Otherwise, try to go to recovery and factory reset.
Or try to flash another ROM. (Viper+)
When in recovery, you can connect your phone to the pc and transfer your files, if you want.

Your phone couldn't start normally..

Anyone ever get the below? Notes: Phone was working fine ever since I got it. I got it close to when it came out. S9+ on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon). I run Nova Launcher. I haven't rebooted in a long time, so for some reason I decided to reboot. When I did so it says "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116". It finishes that and takes me to the below message. I've already tried step 1. No luck. I have not erased app data, but tried to get into safe mode using power and volume down button. That did not work.
I guess my only option is to try and Erase App Data?
Android Recovery
Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instuctions below.
1. Try again Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.
.. and on the very bottom says:
Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:8409 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA Supported API: 3
PS - The only thing I did today that was new was install a WWE Wrestling game, play it once, and uninstall it. Everything else was normal. Phone, text, notepad software, browse web, YouTube, etc.
So, I tried #2.. selected erase app data from the menu. Took a few seconds and rebooted. Did the "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116" again. Went right back to the Android Recovery screen.
This sucks because I NEED my phone for work. #1 - it's my alarm clock. #2 - they track when I log in and out and where I go with GPS. #3 - I call back to work during the day.
I can get into "Maintaince Boot Mode" and from there can try a Factory Reset which I am hoping I do not have to..
PSS - I tried to erase cache no luck. Tried to erase app data. No luck. Always comes backm to Android Recovery.
PSSS - Just did Vol Up + Bixby + Power. Went in to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It's 12:45AM and I need to get to bed. I'm hoping this will at least fix it so I can wake up and get to work tomorrow.
So far it's doing something.. asked me a few questions.. I got past WiFi and it shut off. I didn't know I was low on power.
Sorry maybe I shouldn't have posted if I wasn't going to wait a bit (for an answer) before doing a factory reset. I paniced and factory reset.
Anyway, it's updating everything now. Then I can reinstall everything I need. I did lose all my phone number contacts.
