[Q] GS2 AOKP root problems - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a gs2 with AOKP rom and Dorimanx 9.15 kernel. However, it has been unstable with a range of problems that I would never have imagined:
1. Random hanging/freezing
2. Does not wake up from sleep
3. Battery bar drops down 30% (or more) after reboot
4. Internal SD card repeatedly "unmounted" (how is that possible? :S)
5. Poor battery life (maybe 2 hrs of screen life if I'm lucky)
6. more I cant name off the top of my head X_X
Any ideas/suggestions from anyone?

Try a stock firmware ICS/JB from www.sammobile.com pertained to ur region by flashing the same thro ODIN, and then see for a day or two whether ur phone has the same issue as in AOKP, just to rule out any hardware issue

Hi thanks for your input. After trying stock gs2 it was fine. So it wasn't the hardware problem.
However, I did find that it was the dashclock widget with the facebook extension that liked to screw things up for me. So removing that has fixed everything. Don't know how that can possibly have an impact on my system but no more weird stuff

Of course you need root. Why don't you just root it? It's a 10 second process mate.
I've had this
No worries,
I've had this a long time ago. Actually is an Android reset-soft boot, I bet that you can hear the Galaxy wav also. Try and update the rom or check what apks you've installed during the period this showed up. Also drain the the battery till it shuts off, start it in download mode [ Vol down+home+power then Vol up to confirm] leave it that way until it powers off THEN charge it while off. This should reset the battery stats.

Thanks ....
Actually i want to but there is just too much confusion around the steps since so many ways are mentioned on the net and on Xda too ....
Root is simple but root does not fix anything at all only allows a deeper level for program access .
Definite method .
Root + CWM .

Try changing kernels.
Okay, I will try the LP6 Kernel in the latest CM9 Build.
/edit: Okay, it's the LPB Kernel?

Ya, the LPB kernel has some issues from what I heard including: battery, touch screen and some other minor issues, i'd recommend everyone to stick with LP6 kernel for now
The kernel is the heart of you phones firmware.Thats why when you flash the wrong one you brick your phone.By changing it you can fix things that you thought had nothing to do with it.People think thats it only a kernel,just another part of the firmware but its probably the most valuable when it comes to how your phone functions.
I have sam e problem so it's most likely bug. But I guess you can live without rebooting too much

i had that kind of behaviour even on stock rom and kernel. still happens from time to time, never figured out why. not as drastic though (most of the time)
you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273&page=16
it worked for e when i had a similar problem

This can still happen on a stock ROM if the stock kernel is corrupt.It can be fixed by reflashing the kernel or firmware.
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with that Problem.
Now I have the LP6 Kernel. It's better...
@shumo: I'll check your link If I will be online with my PC.
@makrilli: Yeah, but sometimes the CM9 ROM is crashing or freezing, so I have to reboot...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Wipe and flash a stock rom to test, the status bar appears fine so probably not hardware.

It does happen on the status bar, just seen the problem happen a few minutes ago, it's quite erratic. I'll try flashing back to stock and update. can't take a photo of it at the moment as I don't have another camera I can use (used a friends this morning)

Go to Settings > Motion turn it on and tick Palm Swipe to capture then when you want to take a screen clip swipe the screen with the palm of your hand, then upload that image no need for a camera
Still doesn't look like a hardware issue.
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
putting stock back on it seems to have fixed the issue.
Shame that I really don't like the stock s3 rom at all

No one said that you had to keep stock. Flashing stock is a simple Hardware v Software test.

So its still happening on stock ( all be it after a few days ). Any suggestions of what I should try next?

"Android System" battery usage

Hi, please help.
I don't understand why in Setting -> Battery "Android System" is on 35%, I tried factory reset, disable all sync and notifications. Guess what, nothing helps.
Thank you!
Depends what you did to your phone, you didn't say how far from stock it is so no can help.

I answered this question a few weeks ago.
I remember having this issue a few months back, go into your settings and go to battery. Is "Android OS" or "Android System" at the top or very close? If it is then the reason was (in my case) the device couldn't go into deep sleep mode which should happen when you lock your device, this means that instead of nearly shutting down and only having the data connection on (maybe wifi aswell), the device was running the same as before you hit the power button, the only difference is that the screen is off. There are different reasons for this happening but for my device it was a kernel issue, this means that these steps may not work for you, because like i said, this issue is different every time.
All i had to do to fix this issue was flash a new kernel, i chose the googy max kernel 1.7.9 for CWM, which is a continued development of the siyah kernel, after the developer abandoned it. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270158
You just have to flash it the same way you did Cyanogenmod, go into CWM (or another custom recovery) and flash it to the device.
I still have a problem and I don't understand why...
I can't use phone because it's draining battery to much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 I used this steps and didn't help, only I didn't understand what mean Flash ICS bootloader, but my counter is on zero.
I use XEH XXEMG4 4.1.2 software, can I try XXEMG4 software but from other country maybe?

Huge overheating and battery drain issue and internal storage bug. Help sought.

Hi xda experts all.
I have a Sammy Galaxy S3 international i9300. I have a class 10 32 GB ext SD card.
Issue happening with all ROMs I run currently.
I run cm11 and AOSP based ROMs (Omni nightlies, temasek v26 (currently)) and tried various kernels that are known to be compatible (yank, boeffla, devil, temasek).
I have two issues. I have no idea if they are related (I actually doubt it though), but it's worth mentioning both here.
First issue is that no recovery can see zips on internal storage. Anytime I want to flash anything I have to select it from external SD card, so before rebooting into recovery I have to move the file there from the default download folder.
I have flashed latest CWM, TWRP and Devil recoveries. They all have this issue.
The second issue is that my system heats like crazy and can sometimes chew my battery up in 3 hours, even when phone is in my pocket. It's not unusual to see CPU temperatures of 60-70 deg Celsius. I also note that all cores will stay maxed out continuously. This is regardless of governor (excl powersave), even if I kill all dormant apps in memory.
What I've tried (with both ROMs and all named kernel combinations).
I have done full wipe and reinstalls ad nauseum.
I use TB Pro to restore apps. The only system items I restore are launcher and Google search (to restore home screen app and folder layout).
Edit: It is so bad that it will discharge faster than it can charge via USB and phone actually died from lack of power whilst plugged I'm to my laptop's USB connection while I was composing this.
Any suggestions?
