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!

Double Wipe (data and cache) in recovery mode and you 'll be fine. I've fixed mine that way.
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?

Thanks I have tried all the above but it's still the same, I've had to phone for a replacement but due to limited stock I've got to wait three weeks. Is there any way I can download the original firmware and reflash it.

There are no stock images as of yet, so you are not able to do this currently

Thanks for that the weird thing is I can use the phone for hours with no reboot problems, but as soon as I stop using it, it will turn itself off and reboot.

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

When I try to use kies in your above post I get this message 'GT-I9505 does not support initialising, and when I look at my firmware information it says your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies.

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.

Do a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, hope you have a warranty cause it sounds faulty.

Yes just click tab button and on the bottom left should be a button for secret mode while the right has button for regular new tab. It's really convenient and useful especially since it has fingerprint lock on it. Love it.

That's why I would like to have it too, but I only have a big button for a regular tab. I don't know if there is a special app I deactiavted settings? I already looked, but I don't see a relation between them

It seems like it's firmware specific issue. Have you tried to update/flash different roms to see if the issue still persists? Maybe the dev disabled too many things and it's causing incompatibilities.

I lost the "enable secret" button when i rooted my phone :/
I don't have it either :S it was there last week!
It seems that after the update to internet browser 5.0 (that brought new UI) there is no more private mode.
I think secret mode uses Knox
@waterdaan Perhaps it's something introduced in Internet browser v5, as it worked fine with v4 and I was rooted already.

My screen flickering used to appear when i set the brightness level to the lowest and it used to appear only in places where the white color is dominant that's it mostly with pictures and when i open one of drawing apps because the canvas is white to make that stops i tried to set the brightness to a bit higher level and yeah the flickering stopped but i can't do that all the day because of the battery.
It doesn't appear in the download mode or anywhere else it's just mostly where all the screen is white funny thing is if you did a screenshot the flickering won't appear
So i downgraded to lollipop i can hardly see a flickering i bet even if it was there it's not noticeable
