Im now on my 3rd SG2 after different problems with each handset..
story goes,
1st. Phone would drop out of signal randomly. I would watch as the bars would rise and fall. hours spent with orange / phones4u / samsung tech guys and all agreed on a fault handset
2nd. Phone suffered BADLY with over heating. To the point where the handset had become slightly warped and had a distinct rattle where the duel core was. Again, store swapped phone with no questions asked.
3rd. This handset is very slooow straight out of the box, charged up, the phone is very sluggish, takes longer for the screen to light up, there is a delay when typing and apps take longer to open.
Am i destined to never have a decent handset!?
version 2 was lightning fast but the heat was very vary worrying.
version 3 is like being back with the SG1!!
Have you tried updating to Ke7 or de-branding your phone?

De branding does not fix a fault and makes warranty problems .
Factory reset first then no workee returnee.

agree on that
well, i have done another factory reset and done some investigation.
I think the slow speed was down to the google back up system.
The first time i set up the new handset, it set about downloading all of my previous apps. Now i dont have root or any 3rd party back up app so i was surprised.
However, i have done another reset and installed the apps manually this time.
The speed is back and im happy.
(apart from idiots posting about iphones!)
How do you determine the build date on the phone if you dont mind me asking?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
there is probably a straight forward way ( code on dial screen) but i have an app called Elixir. Gives you loads of stats about your phone.
Can the build date in elixir refer to the ROM? Mine says May 18 2011 09:08:22

you got super badluck
remindes me when i retured 5 harddrives in a row
first HD died
second HD displayed as 2tb (this was when it didnt exist) faulty
3rd had a bad sector would only fill up to 300gb
4th died
5th turns on then dies then lives etc
I've exchanged mine 2 times, until the latest one with Camera Firmware OEMF2 is great one with no issues.
1. First one had pink spot camera and video stuttering.
2. GSM module failure (occasional internet data drop), flimsy battery, bad battery, self-power off especially being placed in the pocked or pressing touchscreen at the bottom.
3. The third one is spectacular. Works perfectly without any issues. Battery is superb. 1 charge, 3 days and 14 ours with moderate usage.

ok this is an easy fix but 2 things to this..
#1 that video is only for FLOOR MODELS.. so you either got a stolen phone or a floor model
#2 goto applications.. find mytouch demo, force stop.
it will start up again after you reboot/turn phone off you'll have to do it all over again..
i suggest you root it and flash to eugene's mrslide final or myroot 4
I had this same problem..
good way to detect if it was stolen, when you press on either side of the battery door where you hold it in your palm it squeeks they ripped it outta the display
Paid 180 + my fked up BlackBerry 8520f or it..
sooo yeah i knew it was stolen when i took it to a ROOTER and he said its not a STOCK applications for fresh outta box

Really? Battery case squeaking means its stolen? My phone is less than 2 months old and has done this from day one, got it brand new in the box. Ignorance in your post as a "att tech" please continue to post only on what you know to be true. But yes he could have gotten a floor model, or one that was destin for it but they grabbed the wrong box.

I'm not reffering to the normal Squeak I'm refering to a LOUD ass squeek as if someone pulled it off almost the to point that the battery case seems to not the fit phone at all..
Please keep your flaming rude posts to a minimum and consider the fact that what one person may be posting isn't always what you are thinking.. they are talking about
Video = floor model
The demo video is only for floor demo models, so it could be stolen but the first batch of store demo's shipped to stores were not labeled demo like normal. Because of this, it is possible for a demo to have been legitimately sold if the rep did not boot up the phone.

No sir, she was the real deal, and all it cost me was a meal and a bottle of wine. Asian women are wild, she wanted to see how she looked riding me from behind so I recorded a couple of videos and sent them to her.
So in the end there was good news there was bad news. Let's start with how I broke the lcd in the first place. I'm leaving work to see a client, busy and running late carrying a lot of **** and I'm rather clumsy when I have to multitask. I forget my phone on the roof of the car, drove off and heard the phone slide off the back end of my civic coupe. I felt it's demise in slow motion and all I could do was say "nooooooooooooooo!" Ironically the front plastic was not scratched at all, so much for spending $15 on ZAGG. Phone on, lcd lit but the impact caused the crystals to crack, or whatever.
Fast forward to yesterday, took the phone to the Sprint service center, they said come back in 2 hours. Replaced the lcd free of charge! I was a happy camper, except now the volume keys don't work so I need to go back first thing in the morning.
I personally think they just replaced the phone with a refurb because I tried to adb to recovery but it was gone, red triangle, since the volume keys don't work I used adb to boot to bootloader and S was back on.
I'll keep you guys posted, not that you care.
Did you ever think that we might want to see this asian girl?

I lost my first one 3 days after receiving it... managed to get money for a replacement via house insurance and then lost my new one.. seriously... imagine how bad I feel.
Some git out there is running round with a £500 phone with a custom rom and all my apps....
Totally depressing.
Pretty sure I'm one of the only people in the world that has lost 2 Galaxy S 2s since release date.

Did you sign into your samsung mobile account? If yes, try http://www.samsungdive.com/ You can locate your phone with that service
i got home drunk and couldn't think coherently... think the phone was off as well as I tried to phone it right away.
Also... in a panic I changed my Gmail password and Facebook passwords to make sure when the device was back on even with a different SIM they weren't synching and accessing my accounts.
In other words... I'm totally f*****

Takes some courage to write here and admit you managed to lose two phones in such a short period of time. Good luck with the third one.
when i go out drinking etc.. i leave my main phone in the house and take out a cheaper.. but still good phone(taking pics n stuff).. so if i do lose it.. its no big deal.
I suggest you do the same knowing that you have already lost two of them.

Sent from my SGS2 found at a pub
Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the bottom left of my screen would activate by itself repeatedly. This mostly seemed to happen when I was trying to type something. It carried on for a while so tonight I flashed a romkitchen rom (2.3.3) (I was on 2.2.1 before), thinking it might be a bug in the system somewhere. Well the problem is still there and I;ve discovered it's always that same corner of the screen that does it no matter what orientation I have it in. I can't even sign into the market at the moment because it makes it impossible to type and the screen ends up freezing until I press the home screen.
Is there anything this could be other than a hardware issue? I did a full factory reset etc during the flashing process.
If I need to send it back would I need to flash it back to stock? I bout my phone from O2 in the UK, where can I get the correct firmware? samfirmware has loads but how do I know which one I need?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds like a hardware issue. Did it ever get rained on or something? Do you use a screen protector?
You might want to edit the topic title, although it is quite funny. Read it and think a bit.

It happens at random. Sometimes it works fine. Not related to being plugged in though
I know someone that had the same issue, though it was with the Vibrant (not i9000m). He sent it to samsung, but it still has the same problem, though not as frequent. I haven't seen him in a while so I'm not sure if he ever got it resolved...

Just to eliminate all possible outside influences, take the protector off and clean the screen really well - and see if it still does it. If it does, then bring it in and try your best to be convincing

I'll see how it goes with the protector off. I think my screen is failing though as now on occassion the screen will completely freeze and I have to put it to sleep and wait a few minutes for it to start working again.

I've had the same problem. Unlocked SGS on Orange UK. The problem was on/off for a while but eventually got so bad I couldn't use the phone, removing screen protector made no difference.
I stuck an old Froyo build on and took it into carphonewarehouse, they sent it off and it was fixed in their repair centre. No problems since and that was 4 months ago.
Not sure how you would go about getting the operators rom on there but I'm sure you can mess around with Kies to get it to download the one you want.

is there a option to get up all the text boxes? ie: sent box, recieved,drefts etc..
locked- is there any other way to wake the phone up apart from the on/off button at the top? i have problems with this now as i bought a gel cover & its makes it harder to use with 1 hand !
glowing buttons- is there anyway to have the 4 buttons (home,menu etc ) on the bottom glow when the phone is in use? these are impossible to see in low light & i am sick of hitting the wrong 1 !!
apps- is there a app for viewing tv on the wildfire? bbc i player , catch up tv etc, i looked on the net & skyfire seems to be the app but when i search the market its not there ?
anyway , that will do for now lol, im sure i will be back with more stupid questions soon lol, i quite like the feel of this phone although i was very dissapointed that it will not do video calls as this is a feature i used quite a lot on my old phone as i work away & chatted to the grandkids & they showed me stuff they had made at school etc, its my own fault for not checking i suppose, i just assumed, if old phones can do it surely the cutting edge phones can, i was wrong lol, anyway thanks for letting me drone on !!!

Yeah....what is your point?? I think your argument is with the UK networks, which in that instance, has no place here

Just search through previous posts and your realize why this was posted here. Developed thought is not a strong point for Ven2112.

Just a Noob, probs just doesn't realise that this kind of issue should be in the XDA general section and not in any particular phone section, be gentle

:good:
they were just questions about a new phone i had purchased, i don't do gizmos & thought i would just ask on here as there were a lot of people on who knew what they were talking about, after all i thought that was the idea of these forums to pass on knowledge & if you don't ask you don't learn, obviously i was wrong as there's people like you who know it all, anyway i see from your profile that your a usa marine, i worked along side them many years ago when i was a engineer in the royal navy & if i remember correctly when i said “good morning “ to them they were stuck for a answer! so i fully understand why you get excited over a new screen protector, anyway thanks for your invaluable help & i think i will just leave it there! :laugh:
