Guy...i need some major help...

This problem has happening with a month now. I was on check rom v2 when suddenly my phone started rebooting especially when my battery level reaches 45-50. And when the phone reboots the battery comes down to 15-20.

Since then i have factory reset my phone thrice, chnged to check rom 4 and then criskelo...but this problem still continue. Have calibrated my battery using the app from the market as well.

Can some one tell me whats going on ? Is this a modem issue ?

Bootlooped !!

Guys what to do if stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII screen.last time i flashed a cyanogen kernel and it worked.The thing is i lost the file after laptop crash.Now,my problem is i have a KK5 based ROM.Shall i flash the insecure Kernel for KK5 by chainfire?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Try flashing wifi direct from kitchen.

You can't go into CWM? If yes how about wipe and re flash. Just a hint man. I have not come under situation like this:(
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Does the recovery open? If yes then, tried wiping?
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Nope :) :) No recovery only download mode...I am at office and dont have my personal laptop now :( So thought may be you all could help me in the mean time.

I will go home and odin flash a cwm based kernel.. The thing is taht i have to search on the web for the right file.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Flash latest siyah tar file for odin. It will most probably get you back cwm recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Actually i was on siyah kernel.I tried a theme and wanted to restore back.But,this backup i kept had the insecure kernel for kk5.I thing that caused the problem.Anyways i will try and report back.. :P
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
Flashing the siyah kernel again will most probably give you back the recovery. Try. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ImSherlocked:
There is wifi sharing mod in the kitchen. No mod for wifi direct.

Actually I could successfully send a 5 mb song to a device. But whenever I try to send a 100 mb file, it fails.

you can either flash it or any kernel with CWM.

i spent most of my day behind ICS today from 1130am till now. things worked well earlier, except data on ICS leak rom. i have been trying every combination since and i have flashed the firmware about 15times now. at present my phone is booting up from my last attempt.

latest issue, my phone now, fails to load ICS now. the ODIN flash works flawlessly(i think) but then it shows firmware upgrade and gets stuck there. went back to gingerbread rom(KK5) and that works as usual.

i don't want to give up now! ICS is wonderful
[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Hey thanks a lot man. I guess CSC is the culprit. Can someone link me to a CWM flashable DDF3 indian CSC?

Edit:

Ignoring happens a lot in XDA, because either people dont know about it(they better keep quiet instead of commenting something silly) or they have no intention to help.

Hey guys,

I am facing a wierd problem. My calls fail to connect very frequently. This used to happen to the stock ROM and now it happens on the CheckROM as well. It's very irritating as sometimes i can't connect to a specific number no matter how many times i try.

The only time i didn't face this problem was when i was on the GingerMOD rom. I have even tried the same modem(KI1) on the CheckROM, but to no avail.

Guys, One more question regarding sijahh kernel

1) does sigjah kernel uses automatic demon ? i.e controlling voltage for certain frequencies? Or do I have to get my hands dirty experimenting the first few days with different governors?

2) If I've gotta manually assign everything, Which governor is the best? I went with the sticky but it's too detailed to practically implement it. Can anyone tell me based on their experience?

3) Can anyone give me additional params like Sampling rate etc that we can use? (@Bala_gamer what are your values?)

4) What is the min voltage for a frequency? 950v? 925? anything beyond that uses stock?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
ya, never noted that before,nice find :)
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
can anyone help me out?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
@ Neo

1. siyah comes with stock voltages, so no need to change that unless you are trying for undervolting.

2. practically i havent seen any big difference between any governors, ill simply set a governor,scroll through some heavy pages,homescreens,contacts,messages if it is smoot ill keep it. personally i like ondemandx ,smartass or lulzactive.

3.No need to touch the sampling rate.

4. I have seen as low as 800mv for 100 mhz, but UV always differ for mobiles. personally i have never went below 875mv due to stability reasons.

OK so should I install faster fix from the market or kitchen? I am currently on KI3 modem but the kitchen only has faster fix for KI4. What do I do?

www.agletdesign.com
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
From Market dude...

Why would you download it from Kitchen? !

One thing I've noticed after using GPS for a long time for last one week, that is whenever I open Sygic, I get a lock within 30 secs, but other apps, like Endomondo or others won't get it, they take at least 3-4 minutes to lock, no matter if I use fasterfix or GPS Aids. Maybe it's because of accuracy level, can't be sure...
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Guys, I think I'm screwed.

I've got Pattern Lock and my newphew did a lot of invalid attempts and it's now asking me to enter the Google Username/password.

I use 2-step verification step for google account so I don't really remember the password and it does not accept my actual google password.

Anyway to reset it or do something, I reflashed the rom and surprisingly I STILL GET this thing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

EDIT:

Factory Reset Solved it!
[Galaxy S II General] goldbergx:
You are correct about the read-write speeds.

However, most Class 2/4 cards have better random access speeds than Class 6/10 cards. This means that while reading/writing sequential data would be faster on the 6/10, the 2/4 are faster when randomly accessing data (for example, if you are storing music on it and listening to it with shuffle on :) )

So depending on your usage patterns, you can decide your preferred card.

I use a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 card which has the fastest random access speeds (Better than Class 10 cards too - there is a thread on xda that has speed comparisons with the thread starter being and Indian if I remember correctly).

But I use it only to store/play my music, so fits my usage well.

Dude you are usually way ahead of all of us in trying out new stuff, can only help if we have faced/seen a similar problem :). As other people have said, there is nothing personal here!

Siyah! Siyah! Siyah!

I was the one who had suggested this to JKay :). Samsung can never think of such a thing. Saw this on CM7, suggested it to JKay who brilliantly implemented it!

[Galaxy S II General] radicalgel:
Hmmm ya I'm having the same issue. Could it be cuz of the CSC? Anyway I switched from KL1 to KI3 and atleast I can get a lock in like 15secs. I guess it might have been the modem or modem CSC combo that was causing the issue.

Try disabling two step verification.

U don't have to remember the password if you plan to stick with two step verification. Just generate a new device password and enter it in the password field on the phone.

OT: Guys there is this wifi near my place. It's awesome but the signal strength is low. I've been around my lane but the signal doesn't improve. What can I about it! I mean all the wifi apps on market, what are they for? Will they boost the signal strength?
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
No issues with stablity. But space alloted to the data partition of the 2nd ROM is so low, that I can't download anything from the market. System of 2nd ROM has about 250+ mb free which is getting wasted while data has only 24mb space left.

No issues with the primary ROM. :)

Hi

It happened again. Checked with watchdog but got no alert. Not using any battery saving app as well.
[Galaxy S II General] h3llboy911:
I don't think any app can increase the reception. Anyways, one thing I found out about the sgs2 is, it has poor wifi reception. My other phones (Desire HD or even the Nokia E5) detect wifi from a place where sgs2 doesn't & sgs2 always has a tower or two less than the other phones at the same distance from the router. When I tested with wifianalizer from market, my observations turned out to be true.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Try this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer WIFI ANALYZER

It won't boost the signal. But if you use the third screen, the one with meter with dbm readings - just move around until its the best and stay putt!

PS hope I'm not breaking any rules :p

Also I have one more method and this works the best! I use this the time when signal is low.

What you do is use the ping and dns app from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ulfdittmer.android.ping. Once connected to the WIFI network ping www.Google.com if you can ping it means you have a working internet, the net will work with top speed even though the connection is low. But if its not pinging then you have to move around to get the internet working. So basically ping=internet is available.

You will know that its pinging when you see continuous lines of data with IP address and bytes.

Make sure you set the number of ping more than 100. You can try net ping app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qwapp.android.netping I like this app as it can ping in background too unlike ping and dns app.

Ping app is like one of the app I can't live without because I got a crappy wifi router from BSNL which is installed in ground floor and single if very weak in 2nd floor. The wifi analyzer is just to check the signal strength and stuff. Where as ping app is useful to see if you have internet connectivity.

Unfortunately, this does not completely reset everything. I've had my experience.

My phone was locked due to multiple invalid pattern, I reflashed the rom from recovery. Everything was wiped including SD-Card yet it's asking me to enter my google id and password.

Solution: Now getting to solution,

We have to go to Setting -> Privacy -> Factory Reset

That will reset your settings back to normal. This DID reset every setting out there..
