[Q] i9003 - lot of issues after upgrading to 2.3.6 - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

After upgarding my android to 2.3.6(DDLF2) my phone frequently hangs i.e no response on the touch. this happens atleast once a week.
Some times people say my phone is switched off when it is on. Also phone doesnt ring when someone calls and phone doesnt show any missed calls as well.
I tried searching for a stable rom, but many people say this is the stable one. Did anyone faced similar issues? Doing a factory reset, would it help? i upgraded via kies from earlier release. This phone already had restart issues and i replaced the mother board when it was on warranty.
Any other stable rom suggestion is also welcome.

Yes as said by others this is the stable stock rom with good battery life and extra features..
The only problem is the touchwiz launcher which makes the phone laggy.
So install some other launcher from market and check the difference.
But I am not sure of the other issues that you faced like phone not ringing and the missed call notification.

I would try flashing clockwork mod, going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset /wipe data /wipe cache. (Move your stuff to your external sd before doing this).
If problem persists, then go for reflashing the latest rom.

[Q] Black Screen Crash and Erors causes Frustration

Hi guys,
I am little bit tired of using many ROMs on my smart phone. It's been a long time that I started flashing it. I have tried all of the updated roms but recently I am having a kind of stressful trouble with my phone. Whatever is the rom doesnt matter after few hours phone crashes on black screen and doesnr response, after replacing the battery or long time pressing power button it restarts and seems ok but after few minutes or hours it does it again. this trouble has become a regular issue.
the second thing is phone says your internal sd card is umounted unexpectedly and the series of errors begin. all of the errors are blocking to reach the settings and even cant see which applications are runing.
I have suspicions on a virus or kind of spyware has inoculated to my phone or it's kernel file system (but after flashing it should be gone right? must not continue in new flashed rom)
this problem occur after even after the new rom is installed (i use odin 1.83 for flashing and i dont do any rooting/deodexing)
if you can help me on this I would be glad.
Better post on QandA thread.. What you are experiencing is SOD which is common in KP7 and in OC'd kernel of SGSL.. Did you flash and overclocked kernel? If so then that's the cause of SOD..

actually I am using XXKB3 rom but at this time I am trying to understand what is the cause of this problem, I red some discussions on HTC desire likely same problem called "aka black death" so they argue about the same problem but no solution and no exact reason is mentioned.
My phone is not rooted, not deodexed, any cpu overclock application is not installed, it's just flashed with XXKB3.
by the way same situation is valid in each rom without rooting, deodexing and cpu overclocking.
that's why I am confused
since you have tried "many ROMs", surely you at least have CWM, and made a full backup of your stock kb3 ROM before testing others, so you could easily go back to one that you know works, right?
if not, you at least ensured to do factory reset, wipe partition, and clear dalvik cache each time you installed a new ROM, right?
if not, then the reason you're having problems is because there's old stuff fighting on your phone, and you need to follow those steps properly next time
actually I did that things each time I installed those roms, except clearing dalvik cache via titanium backup, cause this thing needs root permission.
this time according to your advise I'll root my phone and write back about what happens. soon

Uh? You would not have CWM without root? If you have CWM, you obvi. should have root?
I even didnt update CWM after loading new ROMs. (while I am living that troubles)
unfortunately
no development on black screen crash and still unmounts the internal sd card unexpectedly so problem goes on and still I am on investigation.
clearing dalvik cache and rooting and playing with cpu clock speed also doesnt effect this thing.
I need to report this that after phone sleeps when somebody calls me it's not responsing no melody, no signal on screen, even no light or awakening
but it rings at caller's phone.

I am sure you have flashed the BOOTLOADER, PHONE and CSC of KP9 or KP7. Else, you would not have faced this problem. A factory reset and a CLEAN GB flash would do the solution!

"playing with cpu speed", as far as I know, means you installed a non-stock kernel, which may be known to cause SOD, among other things. trying to do stuff while in that case can cause other errors to occur as well. if that's the case, try flashing back to the stock kernel in the same thread you got the overclocked kernel rom, and if not, remove whatever app you installed that's allowing you to adjust your cpu speed and see if it helps
P.S., it's becoming obvious you've done more with your phone than you're revealing, which isn't helping us troubleshoot your problems:

is what you originally said, but as far as I know, you can't adjust cpu speed in the kernel provided, unless it's an overclocked kernel. providing inaccurate information makes it harder to get the proper answers.
try listing all the things you've done, send screenshots of your phone's "about phone" screen, showing kernel, build, etc.
Srry to break it to ya mate... But since your internal SD seems to be unmounting and your phone seems to be SOD-ing, you need to reflash to stock and send it to the service center for repair.
This isn't a support forum, although we are willing to help to the best of our knowledge. Hope you get this sorted out mate!
Cheerio!

Let me share the latest info...
after trying to use my phone without external sd card, black screen problem has gone, phone is waking after pushing power button,
but this unmounting internal sd card unexpectedly and application errors still continues. After unmounting it mounts sd card back (by itself) and scans, but then I can not start any of the settings or system applications cause it gives errors and closes. if I insist to open a system application it phone is freezing and not responding. and then I have to reset it to turn normal. and unmounting problem goes for a short time...
if there will be no solution as Erahgon said I will take it to the warranty service installed with a stock rom.
for now I am still using the
Baseband: I9003XXKB1
stock rom: FROYO.XWKB1
Kernel Ver. : 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
didnt root it,
didnt deodexed,
didnt cleared dalvik cache,
sod's happn wid me too ..!
while downloading gamedata thru gameloft the sods occur ..
the solution :
download screen off frm the market ..
its the only solution fr the sods !

[Q] Phone lags so much, so that I can't answer incoming calls

I've been using a rooted X10 since Wolf's V6 release (for 8 months I guess). I've unlocked my phone's bootloader.
I' ve tried Fera's 4 releases.
I have been using doom's v6 kernel.
About two months ago, phone started to lag MOSTLY WHEN data connection is on, or trying to make phone calls from phone book, or trying to answer incoming calls so that there have been times on which I couldn't answer them at all. BUT rom continued to run normal and smoothly on other conditions (when data connection is off for example) When I try playing any games, they run way too much laggy, even the games I know I played very smoothly before.
I decided to try another rom so I gave Dxperia a shot. The problem kept remaining. I changed kernel to Thkernel. Level of problem decreased but didn't vanish. Whenever I install a new rom, phone runs perfect but after a couple of days the problem rises again. I don't use too much apps. The most extreme condition for my phone is an incoming call when I listen to music with it and have a scrobbler app running in background. :/ pff. that's really depressing.
I don't know whether are they related to each other or not but, I noticed that this problem started after I unlocked my phone's bootloader. I always flash roms after I make a factory wipe.
I have been searching forums for other Roms and kernels but don't believe anything will change, because I already use most stable and popular ones.
Does this problem means that I have to turn to stock rom with PC Companion?
If I have to do so, after PC Companion turns my phone to factory image, will my phone will be in warranty conditions again (locked bootloader and unrooted) ?
What can be causing this problem?
I found another user in forums(an Italian guy if I'm correct) having this problem but after Fera gave him an advice about flashing Thkernel, he stopped informing about the problem. Any other users having the same problem?
Any help?
Its not due to unlocked boot loader...I think its problem with kernal..or limited ram and phone memory..
if you want to go back to the stock rom you can do it easily with pc companinion doesn't matter is rooted or boot loader unlocked.connect your phone in flash mode and reinstall your stock rom with sony update software...
Or you can try once this
Do a full wipe
Wipe data
wipe data cache
Goto advanced> wipe dalvic cache
Wipe battery status
And instal your rom and kernal once again....
Install cpu tuner or set cpu
Goto settings overclock during phone call..there is a option for that....all the best
Hit thanks if it helps....

[Q] can't make/receive phone calls after reboot?

Guys, I have a huge problem. I installed DPI Modder Pro the other day and set to 160. Everything was cool until I realized I could not make a call after installing 7/1. I see the time increasing and the other person I'm calling is getting the call but I can't hear anything, sometimes though its just stuck on "dialing" yet the other person's phone is ringing. I luckily backed up right after installing the 6/30 nightly but I can only use the phone after the first boot from a restore. If I reboot, calls are gone again. Can't make them, can't get them. I flashed back to stock via Odin and was able to repeatedly reboot and have phone access with rogers 2.3.5 stock. I did a clean CM9 install and like usual, the first boot ran the call no problem but after a reboot, nothing. I don't know what else to try. I've fixed permissions, wiped with CWR, you name it. I'm stuck on 6/30 and I can't power down or reboot or I have to restore to get calls back.
Please help. PLEASE.

Try installing a custom from like embryo for Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and install it and apply a radio, the developer has a list of the radios which are compatible. Afterwards make sure your data is turned on sometimes when I turn off my phone and reboot my settings get rearranged to where I can't use the web with 4g etc. I hope either of this two things help you out mate
Good luck.

Thanks man. I love CM9, things were going perfectly with the nigntlies and all of a sudden this. It's such a kick in the balls man, from laughing it it up with the sickest ROM to not being able to power the phone off. I'm at a loss here, I've tried everything I can think of. Like when you flash stock with Odin then do a clean install of CM9 you'd think the problem would be gone. Nope.
Try out embryo. You'll like it
It works, its fast, you get S voice, and you get the newest touch wiz launcher if your a fan.
---------edit------------
Wrong post above. I am sry mate I hope you find a way to fix it. Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik. However, their is a way to fix it and I hope you find it.

You can't lower the dpi to anything lower than 190 on cm based ROMs
Sent from my SGH-I727
u do realize its ur own fault right lol? this is a well documented issue, the phone.apk won't work with anything below 190 dpi, thus the reason for ur distress. Turn it up, or search for a modified phone.apk that will work at that dpi that was kicking around in the cm9 thread, but you'll have to look a waaayz bacl
No dude, you don't get it. I've wiped. I've Odin back to stock, full wipe all the way. I rebooted a few times on rogers ics stock and it worked. I then installed cm9 from the ground up using the chopsticks guide. It went perfectly, then, after reboot, boom, no calls. This is with 240dpi in tact.I can text, wifi, data, etc. no problem. But phone, nope. Any reboot of any kind kills the phone, regardless of dpi. I have the modified phone.apk, no difference.
pls help

From a reboot I always open up my browser and let it load a webpage, followed by opening up Google Play and letting it load. Then I open the phone and test a call. 9/10 times it works doing it that way. I think the radio isn't loading first like it should be or something. Either way, that's my workaround for this phone I hate/love.
Im back to stock 4.0.3 and now workes fine

Nexus S 4g Will Not Stop Rebooting

Hi,
I recently have flashed some new roms on my phone. So heres what happened... I had been using MIUI for months now for my NxS4g but the MIUI rom was just getting too laggy for me for daily use. So then I flashed Factory Rom. Worked good for a while then it started this rebooting randomly.. I Did Full Wipe, Format etc before flashing.. It seems fine while using it but once I turn the screen off and let it sit it just starts to randomly reboot. So I thought oh well its just the rom. Then I went back to MIUI and flashed the new Miui 2.10.26.2 which is a great running rom and I thought it fixed my problem because I spent an hour or 2 installing fresh new apps from the market, didnt restore anything or flash a custom kernel everything was stock and all fresh new apps. So I went to bed woke up at 6am like usual and noticed my phone had stopped responding... had to take the battery out and boot it up.. sometimes it does that and i have to pull the battery and sometimes it fully reboots. So now I am stumped ive tried everything i know. full format/wipes, fixing permissions, wiping dalvik and cache, and still not working! I hope my phone isnt dying or something. It was working fine. Please if anyone has a fix or knows what to do please help me! The only thing I haven't done is formatted my SD card which is what im about to try.
Thanks in Advance!
Adam
Hi,
What factory ROM?
Every ns4g responds to different kernels differently...maybe the newest version of that ROM u installed had a different kernel that sometimes causes many random reboots... so check that plz.
But u say udid a factory reset and stuff... did u wipe Dalvik and cache? Cuz that is important.
Good luck

laggy nexus5

Hello all nexus5 users, recently im having huge problems with my nexus5. I was switching from ROm to another but seems problems persist.
- Phone become VERY VERY laggy like unusable laggy (no touch response it seems like freez but its not) and best solution is reboot. It happen to me after one day after installing new ROM after reboot everything is fine but then problem come back soon or later.
- my alarm clock is not wake me up at morning when i wake phone i see launcher reload and alarm clock is like killed (doze?) i did try some tricks like not battery optimize atc.
- accesssibility i have tasker, nova launcher ..aps that need accessibility enabled but they constantly disabling itself after some time with no reason
im dont flashing anything more then ROM+gapps, i have only few apps installed like 30 or so nothing crazy.
im using multirom,ROM i have tried for example Purenexus,Chroma,Dirty Unicorns,Candy...
did anyone experiencing this too? any solution? ill try some more stock ROMs now or complete unroot and flash factory image.
thanks
Have you tried wipe data and cache? You may have to flash back to a stock rom to see if the the problem persists. If the problem is present on a stock rom, it could be a hardware problem.
Get rid of multirom, wipe everything but internal storage (advance wipe in twrp) and install ROM of choice.
If problem still exits, try flashing stock ROM from scratch, wipe everything, backup first.
If that fails, perhaps hardware problems
Backup sd();
Flash stock();
If (problem solved==true)
{try to flash your favorite custom rom;}
else()
{service;}
Personally, I tried CM for the first time on mi virgin N5 and it was [email protected], no offense to anyone. It's laggy, specially during apps installation. The features weren't that necessary or so many to overcome the stock rom stability and performance, so I'm back to stock now. Everything smooth.
