[Q] Android is upgrading.. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello,
I have a SGH-I727 from at&t, which I have just upgraded into ice cream sandwich via kies. When the process finished it put me onto a screen that says Android is upgrading... starting applications, I have had it on for about an hour but I am unsure if I should just let it keep going or do something about it. Please help, thank you in advance.
Edit: Every once in a while the screen also flashes white.

Reboot. If doesn't work do a factory reset.

I don't remember mine taking that long, but I'd just let it go. It's updating all of the apps and such.

Should I yank the battery or is the power button fine?

Power button is fine

You'll have to do s factory reset in recovery. Are your apps backed up? If not you'll have to install them again.

I'm fine with the apps going away but what will happen to my data in my gallery and my texts?

Pictures, music, etc will still be there. Texts are a different story, you will lose them if they're not backed up. But I'm sure you will have to do a factory reset to get beyond where you are now.

That's why you should always back up everything before flashing new roms. Live and learn.

Anybody know how to prevent phone reboot?

So I have Nexus S and this doesn't happen a lot but about every month or so my phone just reboots itself. I know why this happens, but I wanna know If I can prevent it...
I know this sounds stupid but I am hoping that I can prevent it... I'm not rooted or anything so I can't do anything that has anything with rooting.
Thanks

More often then not it has to do with some sort of memory leak, and your ram bleeds out so the phone reboots. Can be caused by almost anything, system apps, user apps etc. Also, how long is your uptime on your phone? The longer its on typically the lower the available resources.
Follow the leader @corythug
Um not mor than like 2 weeks... Also when my Nexus S booted up, it randomly rebooted itself again which was kinda weird... Any suggestions?

I suggest you to wipe everything in CWM and reflash the stock rom.

You think that's the only way? First of all I have terrible experience with wiping and such, so I don't wanna go that far... Can you please think of something else?

Leave it alone. You're much better than anyone else here who has this happening almost every day LOL
I suggest rebooting every week or so just for the sake of preventing it. But no matter what you do you'll get a reboot eventually. Maybe get an app that forces a reboot at night everyday. But seriously if you have an up time of 2 weeks than that's very good
i generally try to reboot manually once daily, it keeps the phone speedy and gremlin free
Thanks everyone! I was worried that I have to wipe my phone! I'm glad that there's nothing wrong with my phone!

Its definitely not a problem with your phone! I would suggest actually rebooting everyday or week rather then preventing them though.
Happy new year to you!

Screen turns black

Hey, guys. I've been having an issue for quite some time where my screen turns completely back and my phone freezes up. The only way to fix this is to do a live battery pull. It happens at least once a day. Not rooted. Running official ICS ROM. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

was it like that b4 the update
you can do a factory reset too see if that helps but you will lose all your apps you have install and your settings, back them up first.
if its still the same looks like warranty repair
By chance, does this happen during a call or right after?

What apps have you opened prior to the black screen
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Sounds like sleep of death or whatever it's called, tho I didn't have it for ages. I'd agree with the factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.

Help Data usage question

Just flashed carbon Rom to try 4.2 and literally watched my entire months with of data evaporate before my eyes in seconds... Verizon is saying I used 3 gigs in 1 hour..
Wtf happened? Has anyone else experienced their data go berserk after flashing a rom?
Thanks

Never had it happen but I think someone said the gallery used a bunch of data, maybe syncing picasa or something like that.

This was literally the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, I got a text one minute that said. "You have reached 50% of your data for the month" 2 minutes later "75%" and a minute later, "you have reached your data for the month"
I wasnt even doing anything. My phone was just sitting there and I had not even downloaded 1 app yet. It was right after the flash.
Go to System settings > data usage. You can move the bars to specify a time period and it will tell you what ate up your data during that time.

I know you said you didnt install any apps but did you by chance install the google wallet via "Google Wallet Installer" and forget to revert back?
I only asked because the same thing happened to me and that's what I did. Just a thought....

Never installed Google wallet.. I'm at a loss for what happened.
I think it's fixed though, my data has settled back down and seems to be running smooth after reverting back to stock and then flashing a touch wiz rom

Awwww. I just had a similar experience. I dropped mine down a service elevator shaft... Don't ask. I still don't know how it happened. So far so good on the ROM. I'll tinker more in the morning.
Hi, not is just me but screenshot not working, power+home.
When doing the picture, the keyboard does not show smile icon etc, just dark keyboard. That's all I found so far
LOL I'm not sure I'm brave enough to be the first to try this out. XD

I just meant that I've been out of the flashing scene for about a year until recently and this phone has a different method, plus the fact that it took me 2 days to get everything backed up, set back up how I like, etc. I've lost my nerve I guess. I used to be a serial flasher of roms back in the Eris days. New rom that nobody's tried yet? Sure thing. These days I'm even hesitant to flash something if it's tried and true and nobody is seeing any problems. Plus the fact that my hardware is messed up. (I dropped it in water twice by accident and the screen also broke in a separate incident)

Damn, still working after water twice, nice! Just do a backup before, so if you don't like it, you can restore everything you had. And, if your S-ON, remember to flash boot.img separately.

Yeah, it's a good thing I always keep rice in the house in easy reach. But the phone is fine except that neither camera works. Pretty annoying seeing as the camera is so awesome on the HOS.
Will be definitely trying this, I was wondering, you think this might help my losing signal issues, getting the X all the time it's driving me nuts lol. I am with Cincinnati Bell but i think they work through T-mobile. Anyway thanks for this bud much appreciated.
ROM looks great man, downloading now and will flash tomorrow. Hope I don't have the WiFi issue anymore, reaaally wanna use this
I'm having the same gps problem I have with Viper; when you go to a site thru Chrome that desires location access, gps never turns on! It turns on for Maps and other things when you test it, but not through Chrome. Browser works tho, strangely...

Sounds like a Chrome issue maybe. I haven't touched any GPS items yet, so its either Chrome, or something T-Mobile jacked up.

Are you pressing it quickly or holding it for a few seconds. Mine works perfectly, but you should be pressing Power+Volume Down, which is stock for this ROM.

I think I may have found the issue with Chrome...I believe I deleted a ChromeBackgroundSync apk on accident. This may be causing the issue...maybe not, but I'll put it back and test. If it works I'll release an update tonight...if I'm not lost in Double XP Weekend on Black Ops 2
