I have the same problem as user okidokiss: a random reboot in the middle of the night (I left the phone downloading some offline maps), but stuck on the loading screen indefinitely. Could've been awkward as I was on call for work!

After restarting, I had occasional messages that Google Play Services was not installed, so I re-flashed the GApps .zip, but the same messages continued for a while - and then stopped.

This was on the 21st April ROM. Now updating to 23rd April.

Titanium Backup Problem

I used to have TB v 1.6.5.2 installed and working just fine in one of the 5.1 builds. When I updated to the latest build, 5.1.1 (23-4), using a dirty flash and re-flashing my gApps, I got the error message showing that I had no root privileges, rendering the app completely useless.

I uninstalled and re-installed many times with no luck.

As a final resort I downloaded the app again from the playstore, and now it says that I have no Fast/Auto app install (hypershell needed).

I just want my trusty TB back :(

Note: I'm running SuperSU v2.45, and also tried the 2.478beta. Root Checker Basic indicated that I am rooted properly.

I also have SELinuxModeChanger switched to Permissive.

What can I do to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeBourrin:
It's look like a free space problem. Look at your free disk space in your system partition.

Did you change partitioning ? If not: flash a pit file. If you not want to: do a clean flash of CM12.1 ROM plus a smaller GAPP package (mini or nano)

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Very strange ... Maybe do a clean of Cache and Data of SuperSU application in the Settings/Application menu and allow again TB to root privileges.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treefrawg:
Thanks. I did repartition to 1GB /system & 3GB /data (about 500MB free on both) & I use minimal GApps. My sdcard1 may have been filled up with those offline map files, but I doubt that's related. The only other thing that might be of note is that my phone was on charge all night.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchoopian:
Thanks for the tip. Just tried doing this; same problem :S

I'll do a Nandroid backup and wipe everything on the phone, including internal and external SDs. Then I will re-flash ROM and GApps.

Edit: still doesn't work.

Edit 2: I was trying to hang on to the old version of TB. Once I downloaded the app from the playstore, all went well.

So, you say that wifi is working fine on stock and cm 11?

There are also some errors in email and broadcast process (in your log), but don't know if there's a link...

Did you repartition your system? Cause many here had too less space in system what seems to have caused bootloops. Android 5 with ART needs way more space... IN that context: Which GApps do you use? Minimal, Pico?

(Can't post on main thread as I've < 10 posts)

For anyone looking for mDNIe settings for colour calibration. Samsung defaults are overly saturated and vivid, demonstrating the width of OLED gamut but not being very accurate or usable.

CM up to 11 included "Advanced Display" options on the Display menu, via AdvancedDisplay.apk. This APK and the kernel hooks are still included in Lysergic Acid's CM12 builds, but not linked from the Display menu. If you manage to change settings via AdvancedDisplay.apk they will be automatically applied on each boot. (You won't need a startup script to echo your desired settings into /sys devices).

In the absence of a link from the Display menu, you can call up AdvancedDisplay.apk directly by installing "QuickShortcut Maker" from the the app store. I recommend: Scenario = UI, Mode = Nautural

Perhaps somebody can flag this to Lysergic Acid on the main thread. I'm guessing it'd be easy to add back to the Display menu.

NextAlarmTracker

Guys please help.

Anybody experiencing massive wakelock with this particular one? "NextAlarmWakelock". I have searched everywhere but unfortunately cannot find a solution. Everybody is saying battery performance is great but wakelock from this rogue is just bothering me. Even with fresh install, BBS app only to monitor wakelock ang deepsleep. Toggled root access for bbs. No setting changes still it persist. It started from the 5.1 update. The last 5.0.2 build did not have this kind issue for me. Anybody?:confused::crying:

Any feedback would be great. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martidroid:
Are you sure that it's "NextAlarmWakelock" and not "NextAlarmTracker"? I think this wakelock checks if there's an alarm upcoming, so it doesn't seem to be normal that it's so often.

What do you mean with "clean install"? Did you format system, data, cache and then flash ROM? Obviously your draining battery comes from these wakelocks...

Btw, for all those battery draining smartphones: The best calibration is a complete discharge and recharge in one run to 100%. I'm now 1 day on battery (2G, about 1h screen-on-time) and still 50% :) deleting batterystats has no use
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperJob:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] con2x:
Oh i'm sorry. It's "NextAlarmTracker". As i have mentioned in my post even if the rom is newly installed, BBS only installed and only root accessed was ticked. This wakelock starts and goes up on top. Especially when phone is idle.

Yes, wiped everything. Even tried formatting my internal SD. But still this wakelock shows.

I am also doing what you do in calibrating the battery. But i know i could do more with this rom without this kind of wakelock.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forsquall:
Too late unfortunately: the clock backup battery probably leaked and corroded the PCB, cutting the traces to the WiFi chip. If so, you'd be lucky to get WiFi back, even with soldering tools and skills.

http://www.stampede-design.com/blog/2012/07/samsung-galaxy-s2-wifi-issue/

I've removed BAT500 - WiFi and the PCB were still OK, but the battery was empty and had begun to leak. The only downside is that the time resets if you remove, swap or completely discharge the main battery. This isn't really a problem as the Network time is used on that first reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranthaison2000:
I know, but that's not the issue i'm trying to say.

The issue i'm trying to say is that my phone just auto-reboot only on lollipop based rom, every other rom still ok.

Thanks for the information.

The link you give me told me that the wifi issue happen on ICS rom. But my S2 has never been in ICS stock rom before. So i guess it is another problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forsquall:
Not quite - it's a physical failure over time that just happened to correspond to the release ICS for many early i9100 users.

The backup battery simply gets old and leaks, corroding the circuit board over time.

Unfortunately, from memory, you have to take off the back cover, unplug various connectors and remove and flip over the main PCB to see that area just to diagnose. If you've gone that far then you may as well remove BAT500 as a pre-emptive cure.

OK. I downloaded deltadroid gapps-510-base-20150422-2-signed.zip

On its thread faq I see suggested:

1) Reboot to recovery

2) Format /system partition only

3) Dirty flash ROM

4) Install new gapps packages

5) Reboot to system

One questin: I see on external card that an "Android" dir is created and on a link I found that it should contain app/data cache information (for apps with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission...).

So I think I also had better remove this directory before flashing, so that I start clean?

ANd also, where google play service and google play store wil lwrite instead their cache? in external or on /system that I'm going to format anyway?

- Put phone in airplane mode

- google play store has terminated messages

- in privacy guard disable all and negate all to both google play service/store

- reboot again in airplane mode

Again the msg about force termination of google play store.

How is it possible this? What the hell tries to start it?

And also how to design so that it tries to restart itslef indefinitely? Couldn't it be set that after N (big as pleasure ;) it doesn't try any more but instead that it was impossible?

Also because when you have this wihte window about force close you cannot do anything on the phone until you select "OK" button and every 3-5 seconds you get it...

And in minutes the phone becomes anyway not usable due to becoming so hot....
