I couldn't find any other threads on this so here goes..
I've owned the S2 for over a month now, and recently I've noticed something very annoying on it. Sometimes, during a call, I do nothing and the phone just decides to switch to Flight mode, and then I cannot end the call, or switch back to normal mode. Only a reboot will fix it.
And, at times, when I try to pick up a call, sliding the answer option does nothing, and as usual, it goes back into flight mode. I am still on the stock rom with no changes done on it yet. Does anyone else have this same issue ? I'm
I've realised that it happened to me once since I got the phone for a week now, obviously, it is a simple fw bug and it it will be ironed in future updates by the way im on kf3 now with no such problem yet
I would be inclined to do a factory reset.this can solve many problems. Be sure to back up what you want to keep! For sms i used go sms to backup my messages!
*edit or as above poster has said if you are able to use kies to upgrade firmware!

@OP- On what firmware are you on?
I have considered a factory reset if nothing else works out. But before I go ahead with that I wanted to check if there's any other solution.
@ithehappy: I'm on 2.3.3 XWKE2
Found a solution?
I am facing the same issue as you guys are. Has anyone found a solution?
Arjun, did you try a factory reset? If so, did it resolve the issue?
Thanks!

Help!!
I got the phone last sunday (15th May) from o2 and from day one I have had this problem
I updated the Samsung app then It said that there was an update available for the camera so I downloaded and started the install.
It said it would take 4 minutes but I got a error message after about 2/3 minutes and it stopped the install.
Trouble is now my camera doesn't work and I haven't got the option of trying a fresh install of the camera firmware.
Tried
soft/hard reset
flash ke2 firmware
but I cant get the camera functioning again
Any ideas apart from taking it back to the store which I dont want to do as they have no more in stock?

Have you tried flashing back to whatever firmware was on the phone when you bought it? I know you said you'd re-flashed KE2 but was that the stock FW? Try flashing stock KE1, see if that helps.
The firmware that was on it originally was the one before the ke1 but I cant find that one on o2.
I will have another look tomorrow after work.

I noticed that one of the options on the *#*#34971539#*#* menu is -CAM to phone FW Dump
If someone can dump their working FW with this option then I assume I can install it with the PHONE to Cam FW Write?

Yeah I wonder if any can confirm that is safe to dump the camera fw to phone?
I have seen on the galaxy s forum that they have successfully used the write camera fw from phone to flash new firmware.
It would be good if it is possible to do it this way then we will be able to back up our camera firmware incase any has problems like I am having at the minute with my camera.

Right sorted phone exchanged instore (gave me one that was reserved for someone else cos they had none left)
Phone is already on KE2 firmware but this one is locked to o2.
damn, I'm another victim of the failed update via samsung apps.
Unfortunately I can not return it (bought it in another country).
Can someone take a dump of the cam firmware and upload it so I can write it properly?
Partial solution -
So I reflashed various firmwares, dumped the camera FW to phone and tried to reload it (this failed as they were the same version.
If I disable auto flash the cam works fine, though the video sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Help me plz i also have this problem and don't know what to do !!!

Same here, anyone came up with workable solution to reverse the update or replace with a working firmware. If it was possible just to re-install the firmware using the update then things would be so much simpler !

Try reading a few threads and you will get worried, lol. Just a pink spot on camera, a yellow tint in the lower left of the screen when using lower brightness and a blue tint when rotating. Those are just the screen issues Ignore them if you wanna sleep comfortably at night
hmm, mine don't seem to have any of those
Hi I received my s4 today but as soon as the screen goes black from none use it just reboots, if I use it its fine but as soon as I put it down for 30 seconds and the screen goes black it reboots. Is it a setting I'm missing or a faulty phone, sorry for the noob question but I'm along time apple user thanks for any help.
At first glance, it sounds like a defective phone that should be returned promptly. However, we should make sure that you are sure you're doing things right. You're not holding the power button down at all, correct? (just pressing it?) And you're saying that after it sleeps, it simply reboots, or it reboots when you try to wake it up?
First try messing with the screen timeout/sleep settings.. I think the default is 2 minutes anyway, so I don't see why it would reset after 30sec.
Next, the battery is charged, right?
Next, try pulling the battery and putting it back in.
Next, try a data format / factory reset. If you return the phone, you'll be forced to do this anyway, so it's worth a shot.
After that, you've got me. Anyone else?

Yeah, that doesn't sound good and certainly isn't the user experience you are looking for in a brand new flagship phone you dropped a pretty penny on. You could try bringing it into the retail store purchased and see if they can do a swap there. If there are more in stock it shouldn't be an issue. I assume you had it pre-ordered online

Samsung has just released the German version of the Firmware (GT-I9505) for kies so hopefully the US AT&T (i337) will be released soon. Check SamMobile's site for firmware updates and to see if they available via kies yet.
Have you tried just doing a factory data reset? You can do it through settings or even stock Samsung recovery I think.

If you are not rooted then I would first look at what you may have installed since you got the phone. If you have not installed anything, have not rooted, have not frozen any apps, etc. then I would get in line for a replacement asap.

Don't know what to do to solve this one.... any ideas?
Hi everyone,
Since my GT-I9505 got the Lollipop update a few months ago, turning on the wifi is taking around 50 seconds. Connection works normally but turning on the device itself is a really slow process.
I was hoping that the latest OTA update would fix this little issue but nothing changed.
I did some research but couldn't find anything to solve it, even though I found some people who's got the same problem.
Can anyone help me?
I'm running stock rom, version I9505VJUHOF2.

Didn't work for me. It was the first thing I tried.
Just got a notification tonight about downloading and updating my Sprint HTC 10 to 2.51.617.2.
Has anyone received this update yet? I'm unlocked with Magisk root and don't want to go thru the update if it's going to break Safetynet (again!).
I got the notification too, but I have not allowed it to go in so far.
The update is actually 2.51.651.2 and is July 2017 security update. I did it yesterday without issues.

It is only the security updates? It is 802MB! That is a lot of security! I doubt it would go in on mine anyway as I have too many system modifications.

And "Performance enhancements" too, whatever they may be, as it had no further details on them.
For me, it broke the fingerprint sensor. It now works to unlock the phone only within the first 5 minutes or so after turning it off. After that, I have to use the pattern. It's like the sensor gets disabled during low-power suspend, but turning the screen on doesn't wake it back up. This started immediately after I received the update.

Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.
With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?
Any info is appreciated, as always.

I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
Again, hope you get the issue resolved. Let us know if you do.
I am from Czech Republic and I can say I don't have any LTE issues, battery is great. No issues with Pie at all.

Well it works for me. Just unlock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot mode, boot twrp cosmicdans from adb, flash magisk and when it boots open magisk and download camera patch for pie. It's really easy but i think when you unlock the bootloader you lose your data so think about it.

Based on the positive responses I went ahead and did the update since my A1 is stock. So far so good with no issues I've noticed. Both data and wifi seem to be working properly.

Thank you for confirming that,
After rooting, and installing the magisk patch, can I completely unroot and lock the bootloader, and will the patch still work?
Will unlocking the bootloader also wipe data?

1. Unlocking bootloader wipes data
2. Does your phone contain nuclear weapon key? If no, then i don't see any reason you dont want a unlocked bootloader. (Manufacturer denying warranty for unlocked bootloader is thing of past, MI has no problem with it. Also you can lock phone just before giving it to MI store in any case)
3. As long as you install apps from playstore, i also dont see any problem with a rooted phone either.

I just want to stay stock and receive official updates and with gcam working as like on oreo. That's it Bro.,
That's why i wanted to unroot and keep the BL locked.
Will the vol down key avoid wipe for unlocking BL as well?
And will the patch work after unroot?
