[9001] Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001 random turn off

I have same problem with my i9001. I bought it in march, and it started to turn off randomly in june.

I used 3 different stock ROMs and CM9, and had this problem in everyone of them. I took phone to service, but they didn't find out what was problem (they told me that it is probably faulty internal memory, but new memory and repair for 45e wasn't acceptable for me)

This turn off happens to me usualy when phone is locked and idle. One time it happened on CM9 startup, and only one time phone was active (I was just browsing apps) when it turned off.

When it turns off sometimes it wont turn on for hours. It very rarely helps to take out battery and wait for 10 or more seconds and then put it back.

I noticed few times when it turnes on that on startup screen instead of SAMSUNG (first screen) it shows battery picture as it is when recharging even if phone is not connected to computer/charger.

I also noticed that reported battery is somehow strange. For example one time I recharged phone to 100%, and somewhere about 85% it turned off. I left im over the night, and in morning I turned it on and battery was on 6%. Same happened again with 55% going to 6% in just a few hours.

I found a way to turn it on, but this way is totaly strange and stupid. I take out battery, connect phone to computer with USB cable (as usual for data transfer and recharging), and then place battery. For now, I managed to turn it on this way most of times (which would be about 10%, 10% everything else, and 80% fail to turn on :D)

I have no idea what causes this but it probably isn't OS, kernel, apps, root/unroot and rest of possible software reasons.

Does anybody know what is actualy the problem with i9001 turning off randomly? And how to fix it?

Sorry for my bad English (I actually dont care :D )

edit: I tried following ROMs (all could be found on http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001:)

I9001XXKQ6	XXKPK

I9001XXKQB	XXKPL

I have the exact same problem, once or twice a day the phone just switches off.

I use Broodrom RC5 currently.

Sometimes I see random green pixels across the screen before it turns off as well.

Hey guys,

i have a problem, everytime i want to flash fauxkernel or tamcorekernel for CM9 my phone rebotts everytime in the lockscreen. what should i do?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you sure you are flashing the correct one.

In the Development Forum ,there is one kernel for Sense and one for AOSP

:)
[HTC Sensation] alex1301:
Yes, of course. I am not stupid.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Use a faux kernel they work great with cm9.

I have atest Lite'ning Rom installed and Jkay Deluxe and Mad them and using the Lite'ning Rom

Recently all my music apps keeps on crashing. Everytime I go to open a song it keeps on saying it has stopped working. I have tried Poweramp, Winamp MIUI etc and its the same for them all. I cannot select any song?

When I use My File I can search for the song and it opens and plays but that's it I cannot open another song as the app crashes.

Tried removing and re-installing no joy clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions no joy there either.

Is there anything I can do to fix this as bleeding annoying.....:mad:

Thanks in advance

Just close the ad.

Also, I just noticed you said you have a Galaxy S2 X. That is actually the SGH-T989D.

FYI, you're currently in the forum for the GT-i9100, which is the international version of the Galaxy S2. Two different phones. You should probably be in the T989 forums.

Hi friends,

I have a problem after flashing minidark theme 3.4 on RRv6. After a while i got bored with it and tried to flash the stocklook theme v6 that was on RRv6's thread.

Unfortunately, the scroll bar did not change - it was still on minidark theme. I tried wiping dalvik and cache, but it's still there.

Any ideas?

Are you running at 320 DPI ?

On Asylum Rom if you want to change the toggles, you have to go back to 320 DPI apply modifications and revert to 240.

Perhaps is it the same thing on your rom

Hope this helps

Any idea? Tried uninstalling/installing , and rebooting phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slainer68:
Did you install both Facebook app and Messenger app ? Notifications for direct messages work best if you install BOTH apps and only use Messenger for direct messaging. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1rken:
Thanks. Yes i installed both first. But i was told by another user with GS3 that he didnt have the messenger app installed and still got notifications about messages.

Installed messenger again and got my notifications.

Asked him later, looks like he had the messenger installed aswell

Maybe this is wishful thinking and I know that this is probably just an error but just recently I saw a Verizon ad on here that said the phone is to be released for Verizon on the 21st. Has anyone else came across this? Also one thing to note is that when I clicked on the link it took me directly to the Verizon pre order page

That would be a very interesting leak if true. I wonder if it is just taking the date of when the phones are starting to release in the US and putting a random company preorder page link in each time. I however, have all ads blocked so I'd never see that banner.
[Galaxy S III General] Baconrules21:
They did say BY July 9/10... So there might be a chance? It's all wishful thinking at this point. Lol

Well one of the early rumors said the 28th as release. So I guess it's possible. By this point though I'm just waiting for an email saying my order has shipped and hoping I'm not having to wait over a weekend to get it.

Dharam's Kernel Development Tutorials​

Since many of the S2 Kernel Developers have moved on or will be moving on to the Galaxy S3, I feel we need more developers for the S2. No offence to those who have moved on, even I would have done the same if I could afford one :)

Anyways, there will be many people who will have the knowledge of coding and stuff, just wont know how to build kernel's and all...

So here I present the Kernel Development Tutorials for the Galaxy S2. It will be similar for many other devices and so you can refer the same also if you are developing for any other device :)

The thread will be similar to my previous tutorials for the Galaxy 3, but based on MOD's for the S2.

I do not present myself as an expert of things, there are many great developers for the device including codeworkx, chainfire, gokhanmoral, simone201 and many many others which I am just skipping for the time being. Credits for their work will be provided as and when refered to.

I am also learning stuff myself, and so I maybe wrong at many places. I would request other developer's to keep a look on this thread and help out me and others whenever required. You guys have better knowledge, and it is a great thing to share the knowledge.

I will explain everything Step by Step.

If you got time to learn/develop join in.

If you get some step working and a fellow developer cant get it, please help each other by answering everyone's doubts.I cant reply to each and every query always.

Most of the code is to be run in the terminal. So I wont be mentioning to Open terminal every time.

I would like to thank marcellusbe who was the first one to make a proper custom Kernel for Galaxy 3, who taught me how to build a kernel, and also lot of other help

Note:

Please do not post useless messages.

If you dont know coding, please learn that first.

Do not flood my inbox with PM's. I will not respond to PM's regarding Kernel Development. Please post in the thread, so that everyone can learn.

[*]I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE, DOING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS

A request to all the people, please do not vote down this thread directly. It will take some time to build the tutorials step by step. If you have any doubts, then this thread will be similar to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186409

I have got many requests to do a similar series for the S2, and so I am doing it. :)

This series will also be posted at www.androidnova.org - Checkout the website for latest Android News, Reviews and other cool stuff :)

Step 1: Setting Up The Build Environment

Installing Ubuntu​

.

1. Download Ubuntu x64 from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

2. Install Ubuntu directly or as a Virtual Machine ( I prefer direct installation)

3. If setup is Virtual Machine, Please dedicate enough RAM and processor for the Kernel to build fast, else it will take ages ;)

Logging In As Root​

1. When Ubuntu first boots, login with the username and password you mentioned while installing.

2. Open Terminal

3. Use following command.(Always the code after $/# is the one to be used. The one before that just specifies username@ubuntu:~)

## Anything after ## is a comment by me.

dharammaniar@ubuntu:~$ sudo passwd
[sudo] password for dharammaniar: ## Enter password which you used to login.
Enter new UNIX password: ## Enter Password for root(it can be same as your prev password)
Retype new UNIX password: ## Re-Enter Password for root
passwd: password updated successfully
dharammaniar@ubuntu:~$ su
Password: ## Enter the root password
root@ubuntu:/home/dharammaniar#

4. Once you get the last line as above means you now have root access.

5. Now logout from this user and login with username as root

6. On starting Terminal now, you should get

root@ubuntu:~#

Setting Up Build Environment​

1. You should always be running as root.

2. Go To System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager

3. Search for ncurses-devel

4. Install libncurses5-dev.

5. Download the toolchain. You can find it in the AOSP Source. I will also upload it soon enough.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dharam_Maniar:
Downloading Source

Downloading The Source​

1. Download the Update4 Source from http://opensource.samsung.com/ or https://github.com/CheckROM/DK_S2_ICS_KERNEL/tree/5ec9752c34cedf3e8df9e887ecad6db9337de927

2. Download the initramfs from https://github.com/CheckROM/DK_S2_ICS_INITRAMFS/tree/d85b2201b79588e70387d3df0ffd2f83d741c4ac or maybe request some developer to post how to extract initramfs from stock samsung kernel. Even I am trying to figure that out...

(If any developer is reading this, and can help out, We would be grateful)

3. Create a folder named S2.

4. Inside that have 2 folders, 1) Kernel 2) initramfs

5. Kernel folder should have the source e.g. arch, drivers and all

6. initramfs folder should have the files init.rc and stuff

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] marcellocord:
Dude, it's really nice. But one question. After that, are we going to have a brick wave? I think that unexperienced people like me will have some trouble when trying to build. Your tutorial will be brick safe if we follow all steps? If yes, I will try to do something.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sakindia123:
Ics opensource update 4. is believed to be safe,so people will be "brick-safe".

This thread will be handy for disscussions when we get ICs successor,and samsung presents us a new "virgin" kernel source.

Also,u can find 6 toolchains in this repository- https://github.com/sakindia123/Android_Toolchains
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cdesai:
Nice to see your tutorials here as well.

But, Eww!

Logging in as root seriously?

Why not just use sudo - only the initial toolchain installation and using apt-get would need root permissions, rest of it can be done fine by a normal user.

Better be safe then sorry
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dharam_Maniar:
It is just an option for those who want to use as root...for others as you said sudo is also there...

Yes as mentioned by someone the update4 sources are brick safe and dont worry any changes that i mention here will be probably tested by me first on my own kernel i.e. DarkKnight Kernel...so you should be safe unless you try something out of the box ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cristiano Matos:
Ok, sure i will.

Thanks

Following the steps listed in this thread , you will be able to extract any initramfs from any zImage.....yet it is very easy to do. :)

TL;DR :

1st. Download program from here https://github.com/xiaolu/galaxys2_kernel_repack

2nd. Download your fave kernel and extract zImage in the root folder of the previous program.

4rd. Open a terminal and run:

./unpack.sh zImage

5th. You will finish to have a new folder "initramfs_root" where inside you will find your initramfs ready to use.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevesmind:
It's been something that has bothered me ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. The existence of just one physical button to switch the screen on and off makes me question the lifetime of Power Button.

Does anyone know of any apps, mods, whatever for this? My first thought was to enable the Volume Keys to wake up the screen, I have also read about the proximity sensor but I don't think having the sensor active all the time is a good approach. Another way could be shaking the phone to turn it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cymru:
Taken from a google search .... "There's an app called "No Lock" that will wake the Nexus One using the Volume rocker"

May work on the Galaxy Nexus too maybe but i dont know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevesmind:
Yea, I've seen that app too but it doens't do exactly what I want. Plus it disables entirely the lock screen which is certainly something I do not want. :\

Have you tried "ShakeOff"? Turn the screen off/on with a shake. I haven't tested it on the GN but it used to work on my old phone.

Volume rocker. You have warranty anyway for a year.

Also, you do realize there's only one way to accelerate in a car right? Are you worried that the pedal won't work everyday so you'll need to find an alternative way to drive? :rolleyes:

that's a nice analogy. now consider this:

car's are made to last, let's say, for 10 years.

my power button on my GN stopped functioning after 6 months of use. It requires me to press in very hard to get a response now or none at all.

how so? I'm not one to nitpick small flaws, every phone has them. the power button failing is a major issue though. I would've still attributed it to a defective exception if I hadn't see many more people reporting the same thing. I did start using the volume rocker wake in cm9, but probably a bit too late
