Hello people, I've a problem with my S2. Tried to search for identical problem but I just lost myself in the searches >.>

My S2 is a ori 2.3.5 almost fresh phone from the dealer (used it for around 2 months). Only downloaded basic apps like goWidget and whatever essential.

I've a problem with my stock camera app. It would hang at times.

Whenever we take a photo, it actually "freezes" for awhile right? Mine also but it just freeze there until it prompts me to force close the camera app. I need to do that, no choice. But I can't run the camera app again until I restart my Phone. It would say Camera failed if I try to start the app without restarting. and If I do no restart my phone, my phone will get hot and battery drains.

Any idea what's causing it? Would love to at least know what's happening before I have the time to send it for warranty =]

Yep, using external SD and saved the photo to the external SD. I tried removing the external SD and save the photos directly to the phone, but it happens as well (the hang problem) =\

and yes, it's a G version =]

It happens often at times and it does not at times. Gonna do a factory reset and update the phone after I'm home. If it does not work then I'm going to send it to a service centre.

I heard that we're supposed to get a SMS from Samsung to authenticate our e-warranty right? I bought my phone from a 3rd party seller and he took my information but I've received no such SMS. Is the SMS important?

I didn't notice there's a 2.3.6. I suppose we update our phone via Kies? Never tried it before. Gotta try it when I can then. Thanks for the insight! =D

I wonder if our problem is due to Hardware or software errors. I've asked other S2 users but it seems like this problem is rather rare at times. Did not ask if theirs was a G or non G version though

@Andrewtst

Does your friend's phone still hang? Since you mentioned "much more stable" instead of seamless or something like that. bobtiang is using G version with 2.3.6 (fresh out of box) but he faces camera FC as well. but if 2.3.6 can significantly cut down its occurrence, I'm all for it =D

Mine doesn't hang as often as your friend's. Hope that the occurrence will be even lower after the update. The hang part happens pretty randomly though. It happens whenever it likes whether I preview it or not. But I sort of notice that if we clear memory too often it hangs a whole lot more =]
