I am having a problem with my Milestone 2. Sometimes, for no apparent reason the screen stops working and I have to turn off the phone through the physical buttons. Does anyone know what might be happening and how can I fix this?
Sorry for the bad english.
Thanks

What is the system version you're using?
Are you using the defy_more.ko/milestone2_more.ko kernel module for extended multitouch support?
First try a factory reset.
Then the second option, if you're rooted, try flashing a SBF.
If none of these work you'll have to send your phone in to Motorola (do you have warranty?).

The system version is the original android 2.2
I have used milestone2_more.ko one time, but the problem already happened before that.
What happens if I do the Reset? Am I going to lose everifing thats in my phone?
Its rooted, so I lost my warranty... =/
Is there any other possible solution?

If you "unroot" the phone, the warranty is back

And... how can I do that? XD

Make backup of your data and apps. Then flash original ROM via RSD lite and send it for repair. Or maybe the problem will stop after flashing original ROM.

Well, I'll try the factory reset tomorrow. Hope it works, but if not I'll try the other opitions. I don't want to send it to the repair because it can take too long where I live.
Thanks, I'll post the results tomorrow.

I had this same bug a few weeks a go, just reset as factory default and now working fine.
Since I did the factory reset two days ago my phone is working fine, without the screen bug.
Thank you guys, that was realy making me angry xD

I got my S2 a week ago and I updated officially to Android 2.3.4 via Kies. After updating I can't hear the person on the other end of the call unless I have my headset or it is on Loud Speaker.
I have searched Google etc.. but no results
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks in advanced
Not really sure but maybe try a factory reset. Hopefully that fixes it.
If not you may need to flash again with Odin.

Already tried and installed a custom rom and it works but I love the stock
since june when i got my SGS4 from sprint, the playstore hasnt been working. it says no connection withe the retry button. I've tried doing that thing where you change the host file, and unrooting. but when you flash the stock rom it doesnt acually delete anything it just unroots it. Please someone give a solution to this issue. What can i do to fix it? ive also tried clearing data and uninstalling the updated versions. please help me.

Do you have anything frozen in titanium backup?

Nope. Do you think if I do a factory reset in recovery it'll do the trick?

Hello Experts,
It's been ard two months I am struggling to get my gps work on my s4 which was working when I bought the phone and was on stock Samsung OS.
It's started when I rooted my phone. Subsequently installed CM10.1 nightly (I guess 24/7/2013-nighly). Now I am on cm10.1 rc2.
Gps status show 0/0 sats. No satellites in view
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As you are rooted, something worth trying would be FasterFix from PlayStore. You'll see what it does.
Good luck!
Thanks for response. Yes I am rooted.
Recently I installed latest modem (mh8) as well Which didn't help either.
I tried GPS status, GPSFix, gps test etc. Those didn't help. But never used to keep the gps open for more than 5 minutes.
Will keeping it on longer help?
Thanks.

Also if someone can tell me the permissions on gps.conf file if it matters.

My GPS error was caused by a software conflict - in my case, Yahoo Weather. It stopped the GPS from getting proper signal or lock, but when I uninstalled the app it returned to normal. The latest version of Yahoo Weather has fixed the issue.
Think about any apps you may have installed at the time of rooting. Rooting itself should not cause this issue.
You could try taking a full backup, reset the device and see if GPS works again with no user apps installed. If it does it sounds like a software conflict, if it does not then it is a firmware/hardware problem.
Yeah read that thread which talks about yahoo weather. I don't have it. Infact I did wipe few times to install new nightly. And checked gas just by installing Google maps, which didn't help.
Could it be a hardware issue? How can we confirm? My gps status show 0/0 sats in view.

Did you disable some autostart apps? I had the same behavior. In my case, I think it was a Google service.

If all else fails, unroot, flash the Original FW via Odin.
Noted. Will try and update, little tied up with some other things.

To see if is hardware you need clean install
1. Download odin 3.07 ( you have option NAND ERAS ALL )
2. Download MH8 ( If you are with knox ), / MF8 ( NON KNOX BOOT )
3. Download PIT
4. Odin - check NAND, PIT file, PDA AND START
5. After flash your phone wont boot ( stuck at samsung Logo )
6. Boot in recovery ( volume up )( original recovery )
7. Factory reset + format cache.
8. Will reboot automatically the phone
9. Install GPS TEST. And let it search for maxim 5 min. ( will be cold start )
Come back with result

Wow, thanks.
Few questions though
1. If I select NAND ERASE All, will erase everything what I see in internal memory?
2. What is knox boot?
Thanks again.

When you are entering in download mode and you have 2 lines there where is writen Knox kernel lock 0x0 and knox warranty void that means that you have secure bootloader ( you can flash only MH group or GG ). If you dont have I recommend to flash MF8 Or BGMA.
And yes NAND eras all ... is deleting all from internall memory

Hello there,
I did as you mentioned above. Unfortunately it didn't help. Is there something bad with my GPS hardware? I remember it was working when I was on stock ROM when I bought the phone.
I saw a post for GS3 which states tightening the screws to fix gps issue. Can we do something similar for GS4?

One more thing: install GPS test from Google market. And send me a print with the open app. BUT 1st enable GPS from settings. And bee sure to bee in open place ( outside) when you are opening the app

Anyone has ideas? Please need help

1. Make sure Play Store is closed.
2. Go to the app settings and remove all data from Play Store.
3. Go into /data/data/ (with a root explorer) and remove any directory com.android.vending.
4. Restart the device after that open Play Store.
Thanks for the help but it didn't work
Anymore solutions?
