[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Any1 knows osomething about this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Guys please its urgent. Only got 10 more days to confirm this..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Dude, bumping your thread every couple of hours isnt going to achieve anything other then possibly it been closed or deleted.

Firstly people will reply when/if they have something to say. Second its New Years eve, most people are busy. Only reason why I'm not is because I'm not well at the moment so resting.

A sim card wouldnt make your phone shut down, hes talking crap. Also when you say "cant unlock" do you mean network unlock? If so then use the search button, we have plenty of topics on how to unlock network very easily, most/best are a simple app you install from market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Don't take Vodafone's crap. Demand a replacement as the one they provided is faulty from day 1.

Try without a SIM too, this will prove that is not the problem.

Take Atheists advice and don't bump within a 24hr time frame, especially today/yesterday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Are you sure on that? Seems they don't want to simply trade the phone, and wanna keep it for tests...

Though, 2 days passed and he doesn't shuts down...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netban:
Not entirely sure as I cannot test the phone myself but for a new phone to be playing up, it's not convenient and I would want a phone that works without crashing, especially from new.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riro1612:
Try to take off this cover with the magnet. I think that the magnet is interfering with the hardware which then causes the phone to shut down.

Sent with my homing pigeon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
So here's the thread again.

If anyone happens to have/had same problem as me with this wirsds shutdowns pls reply :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Same as before, go to the store you got it from.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Am I the only one that thinks taht is really strange 2 phones have the same problem? And that they hold like 1 day or 4 (depends on the phones mood xD) and then shutsdown? xD

I wished someone informed enough on old SIM cards could clarify me if SIM has something to do or not :o

But I already went to the store, but they dont have any SGSII left lol:D Waiting for a new packages to come..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Must be a faulty hardware, is that store reliable?

A brand new device has to run super smooth, if not, store's fault.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Look dude, you have been told OVER and OVER again that it couldn't be the sim card causing phone to reboot. Its either your hardware like your phone or battery or its your software, ie your rom or apps installed.

Have you even bothered trying other sim cards?

Tried factory reset?

Have you tried other rom?

Have you tried other kernel?

Have you got refund and gone elsewhere?

Have you read any of the replies here or in your duplicate threads?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
With all due respect it seems you don't read the replies you say you bother to answer...

1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.

2- Since I have 14 days (and not the usual 30) to ready-exchange the device trying a SIM card won't be enough, since the phone can handle random time turned on without going down.

3/4 - I already changed the phone once, so same hardware flaw would be suspicioous since phones are tested and odds of getting a faulty hardware 2 times in a row with the exact swame faulty style is like 1/1000. Especially on recent SGSII.

5- Nope, i'm hoping i'll get a talk with Samsung(not vodafone) and talk to them if the third phone come with same problem.

6- Yes I did. But as I said on point 1) it seems you didn't read mines:) I asked for someone that has a sim card knowledge, since phones in the past DID shutdown due to low network/loss of signal causing phones to shutdown. But as I said to the Vodafone guy, i think its strange that a new phone such as most smartphones are to shutdown cause of SIM card beeing old/loosing signal with this 4G thing. But since i traded for this new SGSII and the SAME problem is hapening i tend to beleive is the SIM. Though I already asked Vodafone to send me a 4G card and if I get the third SGSII I will try to test the full 14 days I have to see if its the SIM card thats causing something or not.

Apart all of this, if any1 faced the same problem please tell me something(most likely will be from Portugal, who knows).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
You haven't mentioned changing Roms or Kernels.

This to me sounds like a software issue.

This is not a Sim card issue!!!.

It might be wrong current or voltage issues, but this being a new phone would lead me straight back to it being a software issue.

I have a Galaxy S2 for over a year and had a load of random reboots or shutdowns. It always was a kernel issue, update to the latest or downgrade to the most stable always fixed it. So my advice try to fix the software before blaming the hardware. Try different kernels, Roms and if you are still having the problem then it is a hardware issue. Flash a stock Rom back on and your phone should still be under warranty. Goodluck

BTW this is hilarious: 1- It doesn't reboots, it just shutdowns. Thats why I say my problem isn't found elsewhere therefore doesn't seems to be a ROM problem.

That sounds like a Rom or Kernel problem. First thing I would check! Are you sure that it shut downs rather than just freezing?

Also I just noticed your on 4.0.4 there is problems with the version of android
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
He's been advised now multiple time in multiple topics to try new kernel or rom but he just keeps simple ignoring the advise or dismissing it and seems to be convinced its his sim card for some odd reason.

If he wants to create multiple topics asking for help (have them closed/deleted) and then ignore the advise and then wonder why he still has same issues then its his own fault and his own problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Well if he doesn't take advice or even try to fix the problem himself its pointless to help.

I sent him a message explaining that's its not a SIM card issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
My point exactly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
That's another point I wanted to ask - how can i check it he really shutdown or freezes? I try to unlock/press screen/press home button, and he doesn't turns screen on. If it was a PC i could hear the vents working, but its a phone... :P Any program to save a log before he shutsdown or something?

EDIT: @All Othe Replies: I know you guys told several times that might be a ROM/Kernel problem. I just seem strange that noone on my area(where i bough the phone) dont have same problem, since i asked the guy on the store and he says theres no complaints. And even more i changed by a new phone and problem persisted so the chances are hard to be about ROM. Now after i read this sir hre maybe its STOCK ICS 4.0.4 problem. Who knows :)

EDIT2: Dont get me wrong, I do take ALL of your advices in account. I just like to squeeze the max I can of information before i touch the phone :) But then 2 opinions crash, one says its hardware, other says its software :) So i'm just waiting for the 3rd GSGII come, and if problem persists i'll start flashing, or if im lucky(we are lucky) official JB will come :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Man, you cannot consider keeping a device with

any kind of issues or malfunction

, that's why we call it brand new!

If you keep getting all this, I'ma go to that store and give thos gives a sweat.

Think of it like a 0 KM car, you go and get one, every 10 blocks it goes off on you. Do you really go to a work shop to get it fixed?

The other example I have includes a call girl, rather not using it here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
I just got the 3rd phone, should I *2767*3855# Factory Reset before i start using it?

EDIT: Just saw ur reply at the call girl, LOL xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Don't, everything should work fine.

And yeah, that would have been a hell of an analogy :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Lets hope that on the darn 3rd phone i get lucky and it ain't broken. I already got the 4G Vodafone SIM aswell:) If it shut down again or freeze(dunno how to check the difference) what should I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
whoop the store's guys asses, and threat them you'll contact Samsung's officials in your country.

Maybe contact the carrier, they might be screwing things up with that 4g sim.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
How can I check if my phone just "freezes" and u cant do nothing not even unlock, or if phone really shuts down?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
hummmm.....use the phone as you normally do? :)

oh, okay, now I got it.

Nope, didn't get it. You shouldn't have any freezes nor locks now. If it does, let me know so I can book a flight to portugal to deal with those suckers who sold you the devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Yeah I really hope its really ok now... Comon, in ~20 days i had in my hand 3 different SGSII >,< Its so fck**** stupid this problem -.-' Hope this one is really fixed.. It came this weekend to the store..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
and again, 3rd phone and it went down or freezed or whatever. WHAT SHOULD i do now? Its strange 3 phones exact same prolem. I also got new 4g sim so.. Can it be the stock ics portuguese version ? Or kernel? not hardware for sure right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
That's just unacceptable.

You get 1 brand new device, it freezes on you or whatever.

You go back and get a new one, you bought a fully functional phone so It is your right.

You get your second device, it freezes on you, same issues. 2 phones from the same store? It's supposed to be smooth as velvet.

You go back to the store again, the guys there look at you saying "you gotta be kidding me", you ask for a new phone.

You get your third phone, it freezes on you. You just had enough of this.

You go to the store and say "get me a phone that works, a phone that I already paid for and I haven't been able to enjoy. I'm reporting this to samsung, I'll post online what happened here, in this exact store, I'm putting it out there".

And then they'll offer you an S III (Take it, sell it and buy an SII)

Screw it, I'm booking a flight to Portugal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Thats all pretty and shiny only problem is that they will never do that, and prolly take the phone to repair :/

I'm tired and bored and wasting money on gasoline to trade this phone. I just want to know if flashing a custom rom will fix this or is it hardware problem? Its the 3rd phone with the same problem....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
its a bit urgent a solid answer please:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Here are my apps atm, i dont know if any of them cause "shutdows" or "freezes"...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
never flash a custom ROM when a brand new devices has got issues on out-of-the-box ROM.

If you install a custom ROM and keep getting the same, do you really want to make a back up and risk not being able to restore it? Crazy just happens sometimes. It's a like a murphy's rule.

I'm not a fan of your app selection tho :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Lets be realistics here, some app prolly may shuting the phone down or its ICS portuguese ROM... it can't be hardware, what is the chance for 3 phones have the EXACTLY same hardware problem? chances are less then 1% lol:D

Can you check if any of those apps can cause shutting down the phone or freezing it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
As I said, I'm not a fan of your apps. :)

Do you really need 'em all?

Wait a sec, you did install all those apps right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Yes, they are all installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Edited first post... I apreciate whoever helps me!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Did you happen to purchase this device using a debit or credit card? If so then go to your card company and tell them you wish to report the transaction as fraud since teh retails is refusing to refund.

I'm not sure what country your in but in UK in these circumstances you are well with your rights to get refund, either from retailer or credit card company.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Yeah I did... But what will I do? Ask the money back and buy another in other place?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Tell them that you purchased the device from retailer and they're refusing to refund and only replacing with more faulty hardware. Once you have gone through procedures you should get refund eventually, that way you can go elsewhere and buy device.

Another way to go about it is to go in store on a busy day when other potential customers are about and ask to see the manager and explain your situation (make it clear you're upset and not satisfied with service) in earshot of other customers and 9/10 times they will give you full refund.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazey2:
@NunoPitbull I've read this whole topic through from start to finish and can't believe you've put up with it mate.

Your from Portugal I believe which like the UK is in the EC means you will have similar if not the same rules regarding purchases as us.

Have you purchased your phone as sim free? or on some kind of mobile contract?

I had a similar thing with a mobile broadband dongel the first unit was faulty and I asked for a replacement as the fault was notified within 14 days to the supplier. This they tried to get out of this so I refused to pay the monthly payments until they exchanged the unit, which they did in the end.

The second unit was as faulty as the first so I made a call to the company head office and told them that either I had a working unit and service by a date 21 days from the call or I would consider the contract null and void as they were not providing the service as sold to me and I would cancel all payments to them. I also put this in writing to them keeping a copy for myself. The 21 day date came and went so I canceled their payments and purchased from another supplier. This was over a year ago and I have never heard any more and I still have the faulty unit!

So if your on a mobile contract contact the carrier and tell them you will not be paying the monthly payments until you have a fully working phone.

If purchased sim free go back to shop or better contact their head office if it's a large company and tell them you require a fully working unit within a set time period or you will require a full refund and buy your phone from another retailer. Put this in writing as well and keep a copy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
No, I didn't, i bough from a Vodafone agent shop(not official Vodafone shop) with a debit card.. I just think it may be because fos ome app I have installed but I never had such problem in my SGAce.. I also don't know if it freezes or shutdowns.. I'm really really really sad cause I have that feeling I can't trust a phone I just gave 375€ for.. If I need anything I'm always worried if it shuted down... I just wanted to know if this is hardware problem or could i flash another stuff on top of this..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
So my mother took my phone again there, asking money back, and they said they couldn't do anything more untill the manager is there(only on week days), and they said that some new 4G SIM cards have faulty chips and theres some complaints about phones going down. But as you guys said, SIM may not be the issue at all. The guy replaced the 4GSIM card with a new one, and gave me a new charger, he said it could be something related with it, didn't quite understand it. Whats your opinions about this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
how old are you? :eek:

You already have our opinions on this, in this topic and the others that were deleted/locked. IMO I just cant think of any way a sim ard could shut a device down, faulty or not. And the story about the charger is 100% bullsh1t, If it was a faulty charger then it would have problems charging it, not problems with device going down hours after its been charged, what's he trying to say, it charged it with faulty electricity lol

It sounds to me like they either have a bad batch of devices or the build of rom/kernel they have put on it is faulty. You could solve the software by flashing new rom/kernel however in your shoes I would simply get them to void contract/get refund and go elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazey2:
Are you getting these replacements and reloading your apps from the store or are you trying them stock out of the box new for a few days to see?

If you can gain any access to the phone delete all apps you may have put in yourself from the store and run the phone as complete stock for a few days to see if you have problems.

If you don't encounter problems start reloading your apps 1 at a time and giving the phone a couple of days trail, doing this may well show an app to be the culprit causing some kind of conflict.

If you have problems straight out of the box then go back to the shop and state you want a refund and will not except a fourth replacement.

PS this is genuine Samsung and not some micky mouse Chinese import? Have you checked?

Also agree the sim or charger should make no difference at all. Dodgy sim = no or poor signal, charger= flat battery no life in phone at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andraxo:
did you root your phone with the flashing cwm then flashing su box method?

i had the exact same issue as yo u(phone keeps freezeing etc) the problem is the way you rooted it , just flash CF root and then flash siyah kernel , worked for me (assuming you rooted without a kernel)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Its 100% stock.

At the guy b4, well max phone goes with no shutdown is 4 days.. 4*44 apps i would never test them all xd. No, no chinese. Real vodafoe just not a official shop. Like macdonalds frenchsing.

I wanted to try flash cf, but you have to do so much stuff, plus triangle away and some more i read x( then if they check if im rooted, no trade..

EDIT: Why you ask me my age? Didn't ever your mother did a favour for you?:) Since she went to do the groceries, she took the phone aswell. I'm 21, and I have a 60+ file work to deliver on Monday, so I couldn't go to the store myself if your taht curious :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NunoPitbull:
Updated main post... Leaving here my ROM/Kernel (all sotck 4.0.4) if someone notices this has given problems so you can tell me if this ROM/kernel version is faulty itself... thx...

I really doubt is some app, they should have same behavior in GSAce and SII right? They are the same i used there and never got a single problem..

The phone already came with ICS out-of-box.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
So I decided to try mount2sd and flashed it on latest aokp based Xperia Rom!! I ran the commands that were given in the tutorial after disabling safe mode...

After restoring my titanium backup I try to install any app from play store it gives an error of low memory... Please help me our in this..

Also I wanted to know what exactly the commands mean? Why do we include disable in front of those commands..for example "m2sd apps disable" .. What does this mean?? this disable the moving of apps?? And what does rmount mean..?

Thanx for your time!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mmk.dr:
Well rmount is reverse mounting command, hence we use disable instead of enable. Reverse mounting has the benefits of lesser memory errors..

And I'm not sure if mount2sd is working in Xperia AOKP. Try ungaze script as mentioned in the thread. Few users also mentioned int2ext script working..

Hit thanks if I helped.:D

Can you explain a little more..how does reverse mounting works?
