the battery also drain very fast. done the factory reset method, still have the same problem.

guys at the xda post a solution. need to reflash the camera firmware.

I have no experience about flashing the firmwares. does it void the warranty?

I thought this problem is solved in ICS?

What the...
My phone is totally dead now.
I9100G, CM9.
Just now I planned to flash CM9 stable, so I backup everything by using TB. When it finished I left the phone connected to PC. (Didn't perform update or ANYTHING yet!)
When I came back, I saw the phone screen black and the menu and back key light up. It just hangs!!
I pressed the power button for more than 10 seconds but the phone does not reboot.
So I put out the battery.
And now it's dead now.
Cannot enter Download Mode, Recovery Mode, or anything else. Just can't turn on. The screen is black!
Plug the battery to the charger also nothing comes out.
Odin cannot detect my phone.
I think it's the hardware problem...
Any solutions you guys can recommend?

These days so bad luck 1... Last few Friday my phone plug to the PC and it hangs, then after reset IMEI lost.
Now, also Friday, when my phone is totally DEAD!!

Feel like going to bring this phone to Samsung Center already, and see how much will the blood sucker charges... I'm sure my warranty is 200% void already. sad.gif

5 months of age of my phone, only...

whaaaaat....so you did a TB backup, while your phone was connected to the PC, left it, come back, phone dead?? I dont see the cause ,seriously. So even the Galaxy s2 wording doesnt come??

I guess before sending it on to them you should try a USB jig. Shouldnt be expensive, and if it gets you to download mode, you are good to go.
*

USB jig also works in ICS?
Ya I know it sounds impossible, but this is really what the phone happens. cry.gif
What should I do after entering download mode? Flash stock ROM?

I think it's not easy to get a USB jig at my area, so I think I will do this:

Ask for USB jig at the phone stalls > Samsung Center > Went to normal phone shop and repair > Put the phone into my drawer (if everything fails) > Ban myself for using smartphone for 2 years ++...

Anyway, thanks for help.

is your battery dead ah? can u test with another battery.
*

Battery is the common issue for my condition.
But I remember before the phong hangs there are 50% of battery... Too strange if the battery with only 8 months old (checked the manufactured date, December) spoil suddenly...

Btw, will ask the phone stall to check this out. I don't have extra battery...

your phone still warranty right? if u cannot turn on means probably they also cannot turn on so they won't know if u voided warranty.  just tell them the phone died while updating through kies. tongue.gif. but of cos check the battery first before sending to samsung.

Yaya... The phone, battery and box have same IMEI. I am also thinking the same thing lol...
Wish me luck then.

Ok I went to my local phone stalls already.
They were not so professional but at least they tried to change the battery.
They replaced my battery with another from their sample phone, cannot turn on.
They used my battery on their sample phone - success, their phone boot!
Then they concluded that it should be the mainboard problem already and must send to SC...

So in general, it's not the battery problem...

Edit: They feel warm on my phone with my battery inside it when they plug my phone into their PC. Not sure if the heat is from the battery or sunlight, though.

Ok. I went to the previous stall where I bought the phone.
They will send the phone to SC to check, for 1 MONTH!

Quite hopeless already. But hope they do not check out the phone is rooted and has custom ROM...
And if they really want to charge me, I will reject the repair and just put the phone in my drawer. That's it.

Special thanks to antt00 for any valuable comments... Others too.
Will report back when the seller calls me. smile.gif

Why u never send back to SC yourself? Going through the shop is gonna take longer cos u dunno when they actually send in. Somemore you got no one to chase up on your case. I doubt they will chase the repair of your phone and u chasing them is just inaffective. Just my 2 cents.
*

Well time isn't the problem for me actually.
As long as they still remember my phone, that's enough.
Initially I think that sending the phone to them is better as I have the receipt and warranty card with their signature at there.
Well I just think that they will try to deal with SC better than I dealing with them. They know things about SC better than me.

Nvm. I had done what I did, could not roll back now. If things become worse like you think, then it's time for me to worry.
Now I want relax. I'm tired of my phone for 3 days already...

Anyone using CM9?
Everything is running great on this ROM, except the Apollo Music Player. Always seems to hang after a few songs, and requires a battery pull.

Could it be my kernel?
*

For free apps, JetAudio. Loved it very much.
Don't know why they include Apollo. I loved Samsung stock music player more.

Darn... Missed my SII so much.

Lol you are kidding right?
I don't think he/she is going to flash the phone.
Anyway, the phone is good in performance in ICS. Do you perform latest official update?

well I can my aunt s2 update using odin
but like that will increase binary counter, furthermore didn't root it
and send to SC my aunt sure don't want lol

From my experience, if you flash official firmwares from Sammobile, don't worry. The binary counter will not increase.
