For a couple of weeks already my phones been doing a couple of things.. freezing randomly, unable to wake up randomly (black screen) after pressing power button but haptic controls are all lit up, and sometimes popsup saying USB storage unexpectedly removed and then freezing shortly after! Tried fastboot oem lock and unlock and flashing a few different roms but to no avail....
Help needed!!! Don't really know whats happening
did you install any app or widget that automatically mounts the internal SD as a usb drive?
Not that I can think of no... what kind of app would mount the internal SD as a USB drive??!
too many to list
but if you don't know it most likely the answer is no
however the phone comes build in with the feature to mount usb, when you slide down the notification screen and select mount
there is a hardware problem who many users experience with nexus s
you can read all the symptoms here:

has anyone had a issue where the capacitive home and search buttons no longer function? i tried rebooting the phone and when the phone was rebooting it said system checking on the bottom of the screen while the LG logo was showing i never saw this b4. has anyone experienced this?
Did you do the deopt patch?
yea i was downloading a good about of gameloft games on to my phone and now have about 800 something mb of internal phone memory and sd card memory don't know if that triggered anything!
strange and now i have no lockscreen!
probably out of room to run specific functions. WAY TO GO!
Try formatting your phone.
rebooted and now back to normal! really strange i did reboot with the quickboot app b4 this issue came up!
Just got my Infuse today (coming from an iPhone). Immediately rooted, unlocked and installed CW Recovery.
Couple quick questions.
#1) How do I get the damned <OPTION/HOME/PREV/SEARCH> bar to stay lit up? It is driving me nuts. It goes out in like 2 seconds after I have touched it. No idea why they did that.
#2) Internal SD vs the microSD card. When I connect via USB MASS STORAGE I don't see any of the folders that I KNOW are on it (Titanium Backup and some others). Are there limitations as to what can be saved on the external SD card?
#3) How do I get ClockworkMod to save backups to the external SD card and not the internal card?
#4) I thought this had SWYPE keyboard option. Can't seem to find it. Never mind! Found SWYPE
Thanks!
you cant control the hard key backlights. when you hit the screen or one of the buttons, theyll light up. my dell streak had a different behavior, turning on only when you hit the actual buttons (not the screen) and staying on for 10 seconds. its just what the hardware is set to do. are you plugging your phone into a mac? i noticed on my macs, itll double up one of the sd cards until you eject that one then you can read and write to the other. i dont have this problem in windows. theres not limitations to the file system except for the 4gb max file size (fat32).

Wow, is that annoying. I either hit the wrong dark button and end up at "HOME" or touch the screen and screw up something else or touch a button and change the volume. Sometimes ya wonder who designed these things. I'm sure those buttons use very little power.
As for the SD issue the problem is folders on the EXTERNAL SD CARD created by for one example Titanium Backup are not visible unless I turn on USB DEBUGGING. If I use it as mass storage they don't show up. Other folders do the same. Hard to explain but I have figured it out and it another strange behavior.
Using a Win7 PC not a Mac.
Keep the Lights On will allow your capacitive touch keys to stay lit. It's still a bit buggy since it hasn't been updated for the Infuse; sometimes the backlights will stay on even after you turn the screen off.
^^
Thanks! There's an app for that!
Edit: Doesn't work very well ..... but it's better than nothing.
If someone ever gets BLN kernel mods working properly this might be more easily tunable from userland. However so far all BLN porting attempts have resulted in bugginess.
I might look into seeing if the timeout can be tweaked up a little as an interim solution. (Depends on if it's userland or kernel. If it's kernel I can probably tweak it, if it's userland someone else will have to do it.)

That sounds promising. I find this "feature" is really a dumb-ass design and probably the most annoying thing I have found (so far) in my first 48hrs with this device.
#1 Some phones have the option, some don't. Check the system settings or third party apps. I know the Samsung Galaxy SII has the option to change the duration of the lights, so check that out.
#2 You need a true file explorer, not just going through it in windows. Root Explorer is great on the infuse (or any android for that matter) and is worth the $5. It lets you truly go through the entire phone.
#3 I'm pretty sure CWM only backs up internal, but I'm not sure. Try using titanium and moving your data to the internal, and then backing it up that way.
#4 Long press on an empty text field and a menu should pop up. Tap "Input Method" and then you can select which keyboard you want to use. Swype is great btw
Hello people!
I've bought SGS+ 2 days ago. It has a strange problem that doesn't the phone hard to use, but I'm afraid that there is something wrong with hardware and I'd like to hear your opinion.
What is the problem?
1.Turning on: When I push and hold the power button on the screen shows a baterry and it looks like it is charging, but there is no charger plugged in. Then I have to press power button once more to get the right boot to android OS.
2. Battery icon behaviour: After the android OS boots I see that the battery icon has a lightning sign on it like it is charging but its not. Same thing appears in Settings->About phone. It shows charging(USB) or charging(AC). Battery usage is always shown as 0 sec and:
-100% for the screen
or
-nothing
or
-lot of processes including android OS twice(one with 38% and the other one with 12% etc.)
3.Samsung Kies mode automatically on: After first boot The phone behaves very strange, it opens MTP Application every 1 second as well as it running Multimedia scanner everytime. I tryed to change mode for Mass storage in USB settings but it says I have to plug out USB cable(but it is not plugged in).I need to reboot my phone and then Samsung Kies mode turn itself on only once and behaving like it connects to the computer when I press home button I can use phone normal then but battery still looks like it is chragining.
4.Wi-Fi strange behaviour: I can connect to Wi-Fi but then in the broswer when I want to browse the site before it starts to load an error shows up "There is no internet connection" and I have to options [Settings] or [OK]. Whatever I choose Page will load it self and I can browse it. After choosing another page I have to press OK again and this pop up window shows before loading every single page.
What did I try to do?
I used ODIN to install the newest original 2.3.6 ROM(only one file tar.MD5). I got it done but problem is not solved(expect the one thing:when I turn on the phone in this clear 2.3.6 ROM there is no need to push the power button twice, the battery doesnt shows up at the start of booting like it was in branded 2.3.6 from PLAY all the others problems are still here)
My "fears":I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the phone hardware itself. I want to try to root the phone and install CM9 or 10 in hope it will solve the problem.
My question is could you tell me what can be wrong with my phone and if a repair service will repair my phone. I have the receipt but my warranty has no stamp etc. If its needed I can do a short video and put it on YT so you can see the problem on your own eyes.
Try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe battery stats and wipe delvic cache accessing the recovery mode. You can access the recovery mode by switching on the phone by pressing and holding vol-up and power button. Hope it helps.
Thank you

unfortunately I did this already and still nothing. There is also a strange bug that Ive seen few hours ago. If I plug in USB cable or charger only to the phone(not to computer etc)the phone will stop freaking out and everything works fine then but I dont want to keep my phone with usb cable or charger sticked to its mini USB port.

Then it would be better if you get your phone to the nearest samsung service... It may be a hardware defect.

One of the first things I did on buying my new Galaxy Tab 2 7" (GT-P3100, Wi-Fi and 3G; Spanish market "PHE" identifier, came with ICS 4.0.3, no updates available either through Kies nor OTA) was to encrypt the Device. It worked.
Then I rooted the device with CF-Auto-Root, which had the side effect of performing a factory reset, and as I understand it from a brief conversation with the author of (the excellent!) CF-Auto-Root this was an expected side-effect of the device having been encrypted at the time of applying CF-Auto-Root.
So, the Tab 2 is back to un-encrypted.
Here are the details:
Android 4.0.3
Baseband version 3.0.8-CL448962-user [email protected] #1
Build number IML74K.P3100XWALD2
But now I'm trying to encrypt again (either/both the SD Card and the Device itself) and I'm having no success at all.
On trying to encrypt the SD card, each time it always returns "SD Card Encryption Error" within a few seconds. (And indeed thereafter I always get a Notification about "SD card encryption error" any time the SD card is mounted by the device). If I go back to Settings -> Security -> Encrypt SD card and select to decrypt the card (even though it's not really encrypted), then I can access the SD Card again - no damage was done (and no encryption either).
If I try to encrypt the Device, I get the black background with the large green outline android, and ... nothing. The green android on the black background just stays there. After the normal screen timeout, the screen goes completely blank; I tap the power button, get the usual unlock screen, unlock it, see the green android again ... and, nothing. If I rotate the tablet, the android rotates. If I tap the power switch, I get the silent/ flightmode/ reboot/ turnoff menu. But nothing will get me back to the normal user interface, and it never finishes encrypting (I really think it never starts).
Eventually (after more than a couple of hours) I give up, tap the power switch and select to reboot, and it comes back up fine, but not encrypted.
One of my main reasons for getting the newer device was to have encryption :-/
Is Encryption (Device, and SD Card) supported/ functional when CF-Auto-Root is in use on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (Android 4.0.3)?
How do I get encryption to work, for both the Device and the SD Card?
Is there a way to get more detailed logging (the Tab is rooted, and I have command line access) and/or to command the encryption from the command line, to see what's really happening?
Thanks!
Hm, I tried encrypting only NEW files on the SD Card now, and that seems to work.
I stored a new file on the SD Card, unmounted the card from the Tab, put the card in a card reader on a desktop computer, and indeed the contents of that file are just "data", not readable. Back in the Tab, the contents are the picture which I'd saved to the card.
But still attempting to encrypt the existing files on the SD Card fails. And still attempting to encrypt the device does nothing (green android appears, but no % complete ever displays, etc, just as I posted before).
One step further with the external SD Card; I copied off all of the data, formatted the card, and then was able to fully encrypt it (and copy back my data).
But the Device itself, I still can't encrypt at all - just the same as before.
No ideas? None? Nobody? Please....?
Thanks,
-Jay
Bump?
sigh
Try the same thing with the device itself.
Do a factory reset.
Not once,twice.
I know u lose all data.
But try it.
And do this without android to start.
Keep press power+vol up.
Get into menu and do factory reset,wipe dalwik...all.
Hope this help.

This was over a year ago, and I don't even use the device anymore. Sorry, can't help.
I've since then tried a ZTE "Skate Pro" (the Movistar Spain branding of the "Blade III"). Piece of Sh*t phone. Support encryption natively under Android 4.0.4, but if you do encrypt the phone, the performance of the touch screen becomes unreliable, frequently so bad that swiping (including Swyping) actions don't work right, and you end up less moving things on the screen and more, effectively, tapping things you absolutely did not intended to tap. I discarded the ZTE Skate Pro/ Blade III.
Then I tried a Haier W708, dirt cheap; not a powerhouse, but satisfatory.
And a Nexus 5 which kicks *ss all over the place.
I can't help any more with this thread, and any results in this thread would not longer help me, so I'm dropping off the thread now.
Best of luck to all.
Sorry if I've missed this discussion somewhere - i'm sure it's not an uncommon issue.
Watching videos a fair bit on the TF300T these days while travelling and not having access to my main PC. Have been watching from a USB flash drive plugged in to the dock.
When pausing a video, the screen time out turns the dock off, thus unpowering the USB port. This wouldnt be a problem except upon powering back on the stick doesn't remount properly, it shows mounted but blank. The only way to resolve this is to either a)reboot b) manually unmount and remount in settings.
Any way to keep the dock powered while screen is off? Or any other suggestions - the only other way I can think of is to put files on the tablet micro SD card, would rather not have to do this.

Have you tried unchecking Settings-->ASUS customised settings-->MobileDock Battery saving mode?
Hope this helped.
Live long and prosper.
If I have helped you in any way, shape or form, hit the thanks button. If I have given you a link to someone on XDA that helped you, give them thanks first.
Shouldve said I'm running latest cm nightly, unsure where to find a similar setting there
