Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.
I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.
I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?

Hello everyone,
I just joined this forum and i need some help.
I've got a very wierd problem with my samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0
Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 GT-P3110 model.
Android: ver. 4.1.2
So the story behind my tablet is that my dad bought it when he working in another country,when he came back he told me that he had a broken galaxy tab 2 and he asked me to try to fix it,the problem he reported was that the tablet sometimes restarts,alot of programs have crashes and the wierdest thing is that,when I turn it off and then turn on the device (or simply restart it) the system is restored to some earlier state, this includes:
1. Apps I've deleted are still installed.
2. Widgets or app shortcuts on 'home' pages are still on their old place though I've rearranged them.
3. Same with wallpapers.
4. Same with settings.
So i tried the following:
1. Factory reset + cache clean. Even though it is supposed to be a full system wipe, it doesn't work.
2. Reinstalling a Stock ROM via ODIN. Doesn't work either and it takes about an hour to do...it says it was successful but it doesn't change anything in the tablet.
Also there is a notice in android recovery, which states:
did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/feature.xml' (no data available)
This device wasn't rooted.
So i you would ask you guys for some help,thanks.

My line of thought is that if you do root it, you can format the system partition which would more than likely fix this issue. But like I said, more than likely, there's no guarantee because it might be a hardware issue. Have you considered sending it in for repair? Since it's not rooted they would do it. If you don't care to send it in and are just trying stuff to see if you can get it working again, then rooting it wouldn't hurt anything. But that's your choice.

OK, so here's where just rooting won't help. You have two options: 1) Find the stock ROM at Samsung and have it on your SD card. Or 2) choose another ROM. Whichever you choose is up to you. You're going to have to format your system in the custom recovery, by doing this your tab is wiped of all info including the stock ROM. If you format system you won't be able to boot into your tab without flashing another ROM after. If I'm repeating stuff you know, I apologize. You'll need the ROM you choose on your external sd card, because you'll want to completely format everything (except your ext sd). If you know all this, try it out and see if it helps. If you want to learn more and the steps, PM me, I'll help as much as I can!

Hi, i'm facing the same issue here. Then I've try to root the phone but failed. Can help me too Sir?
For now it can't repaired, It,s known as emmc brickbug, find the xda forum thru Playstore emmc brickbug check. In Indonesia there is website that claim can repair it by replacing the emmc chip/internal memory, but it's not proven yet, since no body in our Galaxy Tab 2 facebook group has confirmed it. More than 15 people in the group has reported this bug, and the only way to fix it is by replacing the mainboard in Samsung Service Center. I also have replaced my wife Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 mainboard with the same case. In Indonesia the cost is about US$100

Moto G 16GB, bought off Amazon.co.uk. Rooted and flashed 4.4.2 before it was pushed to the device (I think it was an image off US version, found it in these forums back when I got the phone). I've been getting a prompt to install some Motorola US update for a few weeks, it pops up every now and then, has gone away when I tapped "No, thanks" option. All was fine until this morning...this is a really weird problem.
I don't know if the phone updated itself overnight, but when I dismissed the alarm this morning I couldn't get past the lockscreen. I put in my lock code and the phone had the stock wallpaper, then cycled to black background, then back to stock wallpaper and then I got a pop up saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." and I was bumped back to the PIN lockscreen. Tried again, same thing. Now it doesn't even say anything about androidui, just cycles between black background and stock wallpaper and kicks me out.
Tried hooking it up to a PC and Mac, but neither recognized it and the phone appeared to be just charging. Power cycled it a dozen times by holding down the power button for about 6 seconds and I always end up with the same problem of not getting past the lockscreen. Every time I boot the phone now it says "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1". This is why I thought maybe I was pushed some incompatible US update?
Underneath it all the phone works fine, got the alarm this morning, received an SMS, answered a phone call. I can even get to the camera from the lockscreen. Is there any other options besides complete wipe and starting from the beginning again?
Probably OT, but I've always had trouble with the launcher quitting, no matter what launcher I'm using, on Moto G and the previous GNex.
Any help is appreciated, I'm bummed.
Hi,
i've today the same, exactly the same problem. It's strange, because i can't reset my phone to factory default, i went to the recovery menu, then "factory", but it only rebooted...
My "solution":
I reinstalled the original firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Then all works fine.. No matter why this error occurs.. an automatic firmware update? ..i don't know...
the exact same thing happened to me today out of nowhere and i'm about to leave on a trip, i'm so angry!
Jeez...well, looks like I'm not the only one. WTF happened? I left on a weekend trip too and I'm P.O.'d. I haven't been too religious with my backups either, that's why I was trying to find a way to back things up before wiping it all, but it looks like I'm out of luck. Guess a full wipe is in order.
hmmm i'm a complete dufus when it requires ADB, i've followed the procedures at the link but everytime i try to enter an input cmd says "mfastboot is not a recognized command"

Take a look:
c) If the firmware file you downloaded is a .xml.zip file then download Motorola Fastboot mfastboot-v2.zip (attached to this post) and extract the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). If your firmware is a .tar.gz file then skip this step.
I'm debating if I should go ahead and restore the firmware OR wait for Motorola to right their wrongs!

I... did that, but obviously not the correct way, i'm downloading the files on my note and will try again. Maybe I should unpack the firmware files at some specific place? The instructions said nothing about this so I did nothing.

I guess It's the problem of flipboard app!
My father's phone is also experiencing this issue, I can't even reset the phone to factory settings.
This occurred when I was also updating the flipboard app... seriously I'll have to RMA this...
----------------------
So I also have an issue where when you unlock the screen, it just locks back up (no android dialogue saying that com.android.systemui has crashed, but the same result).
I'm also unable to go into bootloader -> Recovery to factory reset the phone.
I stupidly tried to uninstall the flipboard app and reinstall it and it killed the phone... it's now stuck and quite annoying.
I'm 99% sure it's Flipboard.
Looks like others are having issues with Flipboard too

how could a flipboard update screw android so badly? what a strange day
edit: they seemed to have pulled the update back or fixed it though, during my restore flipboard installed without issues
Holy S*** I'm in the same situation. It's definitely the Flipboard update that caused everything. Support just acknowledged me but never gave me any solution. I'm running ART and I think that was contributing the problem. It's terrifying knowing how a single app can completely ruin your phone!!
Anyway guys, is there anyway I can save my pics and stuff before I wipe my data?
Good detective work, I now remember updating the Flipboard app w/ bunch of others as well when things were still all good. Could this be remedied if Flipboard would manage to push a working update? I really don't wanna wipe everything, and I'm not sure I can.
Word from Flipboard (via Twitter):
"Flipboard does not support the experimental OS ART at this time."
I am helping a friend to get his One Plus One 64GB to work again after an OTA update broke it.
Initial Problem
Two days ago she started an OTA update which made the phone reboot constantly before even android started. Basically it showed the logo for about 6s then vibrated and restarted again. I later found /o/Android/data/com.cyngn.fota/cache/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-signed.zip so I assume that this was what was installed.
The phone is completely untouched otherwise. She has no computer knowledge whatsoever and says she didn't give it to anyone.
My attempt
I was able to install cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed.zip and cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip via sideloading. The phone started ok but was crashing all the time. I am not able to get into settings to activate developer settings (adb) because the crash notifications hinder navigation and after about 10s the whole gui crashes and I see the black screen with the hexagon loading logo. The latter firmware is worse meaning it crashes at a higher frequency.
The Problem
She didn't expect any problems and does not have a backup of her data. Thus I can't do a factory reset or use fastboot.
Question
Did I use the wrong ROM? There seem to be many variants. I haven't found any information which explains the differences.
Could I maybe flash a minimal ROM that would not crash to backup the data and than do a factory reset?
Is there any way to activate adb access without having to navigate to settings?
I've experienced your issues as well when helping another friend out, try using a newer version of cm11s, something like 44S /44R (i dont remember what it is) or 05Q, those should not have the issue and everything should work fine
Jst flash a newer modem in recovery

The problem here is that you flashed an older build, going backwards like that is what's causing the crashes. Grab the latest build from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802356
Flash that and hopefully you'll be ok.

That won't help, flashing an older build than what was previously installed without wiping properly will cause problems.

Most likely pure coincidence.
Thanks your reply!

Actually this is what I did in the very first beginning but I encountered the same rebooting symptoms like after the OTA update. Since it didn't seem to change anything I didn't mention it. I used cm-12.1-YOG4PAS1N0-bacon-signed.
Any other ideas? I am about to unlock it with fastboot but really would prefer not to delete all user data.

I don't think you have any other option unfortunately.
Hi,
I have cm-10 install to my tab 2 (gt-p3113). It seems I have lost some memory space on my tablet.
If I do recall, I thought the tab 2 had 8 gbs of space, but when I go to storage settings its says 4.59 gbs
Does anyone have this issue?
How could I fix this?
Note: I did try a different rom other than CM but the problem was still there.
EDIT: I plugged it into my computer and my pc said it was on 4.59! This is not good.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jay Tong
PS: I have twrp recovery if anyone wants to know that.
How big is your recovery Partition? How big boot partition? How big cache? How big preload (used by stock sammy Roms)?
Your missing storage might be there.

Wow, its an honor to be talking to the great Android Andi! :good:
I could have figured it out. When I loaded back up stock Samsung 4.2 it showed 8gbs and that the system was taking up a lot, but when in something like slim or cm, It only says 4.56. Sorry I wish I could upload some screen shots but It won't let me.
EDIT: I bricked my device while messing around. all it says know is: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I installed kies but it won't connect to it! Please help!
Custom roms and KIES is a no go! Absolut no go!
Remove kies and all its services.
On described screen download mode is on automatically.
Flash twrp using odin, in twrp do a clean rom flash.
Good luck!

Ok ya,
Got it all back online and working.
Installed CM12 that I found on your website.
I think the memory problem was resolved just by reinstalling stock. (I did reinstall cm12 after)
Off Topic: Any way on CM12 to fix that sound stuttering issue on some games?

you still don't get it, there is no any memory issue, every android device has less usable memory than it has build in. Your tablet have 8gb but about ~3 gb is used by system and you can't use it, that's why settings shows 4,5gb.
