Hi all,
I've just bought a new SII Skyrocket to replace my Motorola Bravo -- the bravo was terrible purchase and though the Skyrocket is a two year-old phone I consider this a big step up.
I bought the phone on eBay and it was advertised as new. It arrived in its original packaging with the security seal intact, so I have no reason to doubt this. The phone is running ICS (4.0.4 build IMM76D.UFCLF6).
The phone arrived yesterday and I really like it, but I've encountered a weird issue. If I reboot the phone then it is no longer able to make any sound. Any action that requires sound -- incoming calls, outgoing calls, choosing a ringtone, playing music, taking a picture -- causes the phone to freeze for a minute or more and then become very slow. Rebooting again makes no difference. The only solution I've found is to reboot into recovery and factory reset, though this may only work after several tries.
- Has anyone heard of this issue before?
- Is it likely to be fixed by upgrading to Jelly Bean (I'll install a custom ROM if I can be sure that the phone is working properly) or is this more likely a hardware issue?
Apologies if this question has been answered before. I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but I haven't found any mentions of similar issues.
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing a stock UCMC1 ROM and doing a factory reset after your flash finished successfully and Odin rebooted your phone.
3 things you need:
1- skyrocket windows drivers from Samsung website
2-Odin
3-stock ucmc1 tar ball.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Try updating to official jellybean with kies, if that doesn't work then try C64's advice above with either UCMC1 or UXUMA7 (uxuma7 is less bloated).
The issue you're having is odd and I haven't encountered it before..

Thanks for the suggestions, C64 and lingowistico. Upgrading to JB was going to be my next move, but I wanted to know if anybody had seen this behavior first. I don't want to mess with the phone too much in case the seller will take it back (I may be on a loser there). I'll try the official upgrade and let you know.
Custom ROM not necessary -- true, but I've been running CM on my bravo for a couple of years and can't go back to a stock ROM. I'll try the de-bloated version of the official JB release, but I'd like something I can have more control over.
Cheers...

when phone is doing odd things the best way to ts is a complete wipe, formatting/removing sdcards then returning to stock w/odin, but you could try the debloated rom 1st just to test it out, if its resolved then its prob not hw related, just make a backup of ur current rom if planning on returning it but since you install an official stock it should also be returnable

Thanks Vincom. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so haven't been able to try the upgrade.
One question -- how is it possible to make a backup of the current ROM without first rooting and installing a custom recovery? I suppose that I could install the custom ROM and create a nandroid backup. Then if I needed to restore I could restore the nandroid and reinstall the stock recovery. Is there an easier way?
Apologies, I just saw that you have information on reinstalling the stock recovery on your Newb Guide.
BTW, I want to say thanks for your work on the Newb Guide. One of the things that sold me on this phone was the support that it has here. Amazing to have all of the information on installing the custom recovery, rooting, etc. all in one place.

I believe I had this kinda issue once before, it was when I flashed CM10 or something. No incoming sound, sound did not work whatsoever, but installed a different kernel solved the issue, or flashing a new different rom.

UPDATE:
So, I managed to upgrade to the official JB 4.1.2 this evening. Had to do it twice.
First time the boot got stuck at the AT&T logo and PC wouldn't detect the device. I followed the directions in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34682377&postcount=9 to repeat the upgrade and the same thing happened.
On a whim I decided to try rebooting a few times to see what would happen -- and it worked! Sort of...
I'm repeatedly rebooting the phone and sometimes it will start without problem. However, most of the time it gets stuck when the AT&T logo appears exactly where it should play the start up sound, except it freezes and the sound never plays.
I'm guessing that wiping the data before had nothing to do with fixing the problem and I was simply getting lucky on reboot.
I realize that this is a hard question without having the phone in hand -- but does this sound like a hardware issue?
Thanks again to everyone for their help.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there. That should clear up the boot loop issue.

Just a quick note to let you know how this was resolved. I returned the phone to the seller who provided a full refund.
Thanks again to those who respondend.:highfive:
Lately, I'm experiencing a lot of problems with my Xperia L. For one, when I turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, the phone just hangs for about five minutes before finally activating them. The same case applies to when I activate a wireless hotspot on my device. When I tap on 'enable wireless tethering', the phone completely hangs. This has really started getting on my nerves! :crying:
Also, when I capture multiple photos from my camera, I'm finding that some images are automatically rotated. I have to manually rotate them, which, of course, is no child's play.
Another issue that I'm facing is that the phone's gotten a bit unresponsive. It doesn't fire up applications like it previously did (not that I have many apps installed too. Just 4).
All this has got me thinking, was the Xperia L a waste of money? No firmware upgrades coupled with tons of bugs!
Should I risk it and go for a custom ROM? I really need some advice, fellow users! Please reply as soon as possible! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

It seems like you are on Stock ROM. If you have not done it already, try do a factory reset i know its not an easy task but it may bring your happy days back. If you are not a big Fan of Sony UI you can try Many KitKat ROMS that are available updated with Latest sources 4.4.4.
Very soon we might have almost Bug Free KitKat Custom ROM's, Its your wish to Flash a Custom ROM. (Losing Warranty)
WIFI + Bluetooth not working even after Kitkat cm11 rom

I Also have this problem with WIFI and Bluetooth. Cant switch em on. I was on 4.2.2 update...
At first WIFI & BT are fine. About 2 weeks ago it starts restarting. When I'm lucky enough to reach inside the Setting and use phone for sometime, I tried to turn on wifi... Phone hangs... then restart.. Sometimes it takes several "auto" restart before i can operate the phone. But after those, everytime I turn on WIFI.. it hang/restart. Also happen w/ bluetooth.
I tried flashing/downgrade to 4.1.2 stock rom w/ flashtool. The restarting stopped/fixed... BUT, there's no way I can turn on wifi. i keeps switched off everytime i tried.
Finally, I installed CM11 kitkat cw. Everything looks new and fine ans smooth.. BUT... still cannot switch on wifi! and bluetooth!! >.<
I dont know what to do. Is this a hardware problem?? or is there a fix/zip i can flash to fix this??
HELP.

I resolved the issue! It's going to sound extremely silly, but it worked wonders for me.
Basically, I deleted all downloaded apps that require a 'Full internet access' permission (The one with the WiFi icon), and viola! WiFi and Bluetooth work wonders now. I noticed this problem when I uninstalled Cleaner Master, and WiFi and Bluetooth jumped to life.
This is, however, a major setback. I can now download only a limited number of apps..
But hey, at least WiFi and Bluetooth work, so I've got that going, which is nice...
Any reasons why this may be happening guys?

You should perform a clean install of latest stock ftf. Looks like there's a problem with your kernel too. So flashing will put a new life to your phone. Remember to do clean install of firmware including kernel and wipe data alongwith resetting customizations.

So after doing a wipe to my phone (was becoming slow) my phone randomly restarts itself for no reason as if it just crashes. I am running the latest version of the beanstalk rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091900 I don't have the greatest understanding of flashing, roms, blah blah blah, but managed to get kit kat working for the last year or so, I don't understand why this is happening now, did I choose a bad rom or something? Everything else on the phone works but obviously constant restarts get to be very annoying.
Any help would be appreciated,
thank you!

Try leaving it turned on in recovery mode (CWM). If it still reboots, then you have a hardware issue. If it stays stable, I would blame the ROM and try a different version or a different distro.

Thanks for the reply,
I don't think it is a hardware issue as it never did this when I had Jelly Bean or even the last time I had Kit Kat, never know though! Also, I will try to leave it in recovery and see if it does it but a few questions:
-What is "distro" (does it has to do with the OS of the phone?)
-Is there some ROM you could recommend to me for this phone that is stable.. When I install the beanstalk ROM there are like 10 to choose from, I'm guessing they are all older/newer versions!?
-Finally something I was wondering for the longest time but wasn't sure of is can I go back to say, Jelly Bean? Or is it "irreversible"?
Thanks again, glad there's people out there who can help the noobs like me!

Methinks it is the specific ROM. I call the different types of OM out there distributions (or "distros" - in light of what is commonly used in the Linux world), but there may be a better term. It could be the version of Beanstalk you are using, it could be any version of BeanStalk with your phone. Hard to say.
In light of above, I would try CarbonROM. I tried it out briefly, and haven;t had a problem with it (and have heard no issues form the guy I sold the phone to with it installed).
But if you want to go back to JellyBean, there is still a version of 4.2 kicking around (CM 10.1) in the development threads. You can downgrade, at worst you may have to ODIN back to stock. But try to flash in CWM first. I was quite satisfied with that version. My biggest gripe is that the mobile data quick setting didn't work fully (but the long way around did). There is CM 10.2 as well, but I could never get that one installed on my phone (installer would break). Between the two, I would try 10.1 (and if you cannot find a copy, I can dropbox it to you).

YES!
So, after I left the phone in CWM for 25 minutes or so and it being fine I decided to get Carbon as I seen in your "signature" that you had that ROM on your Infuse, it has been good for 2 hours+, looking good! I guess it was the Beanstalk ROM after all.
Thanks for the downgrading information as well, wasn't sure if you could downgrade or what would happen!
Finally, what is flashing? (I could google it but since your here, could you give me a noob friendly definition!?)

Went to reply about the camera issue and notice it was no longer in the post. Glad you got it sorted.
So flashing, as I understand it, is just another term for installing something via recovery. Not sure of the origin, maybe have something to do with installing to flash memory.

Ah ok, so it's essentially as I thought it was. I thought I was doing something wrong in terms of "flashing" but guess not! Sounds like it should just be called "Installing custom ROM".. !
Yeah, in terms of the camera thing, I'm an idiot and had USB storage turned on *facepalm*, So it wouldn't let me open the camera app!

I am not sure if you are still facing the same issue but if you are facing reboots, then considering doing a fresh install after cleaning your internal storage as well since the remnants of the apps from previous installs have caused me problems. Ever since I started doing a fresh install (Factory reset, wiping the cache, wiping the dalvik cache and even the cache partition along with the wiping of the internal storage), there have been no reboot issues.
Hey guys, I can't seem to get this figured out, so I have resorted to coming to the forum for help. On every single ROM I have ran lately EXCEPT the old LiquidSmooth 4.4.4(most recent version), I have had issues playing music through AUX. WHenever I would plug in my aux cable, play a song, then turn off my screen, the music would start lagging and there would be lots of static. but if I waked the device it would be fine. Turn the screen back off, same thing. It started happening after flashing this GPE ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-m8-gpe-01232015-t3010825
Now it does it on Viper, any GPE or AOSP other than LiquidSmooth 4.4.4. I flashed Fluent ROM in the Verizon Dev thread last night and same thing. It will also do it on all versions of Viper(4.4.4 and 5.0.1). Is anyone else experiencing this? BTW I have not tested Bluetooth, so I don't know if it does it there too. I have tested the actual speakers on the phone, and it does not do it there, just on aux. kinda making me think it may be my cable, but I'm just looking to see if anyone else is having these issues.
Thanks in advance guys!

I have not flashed either.

Possibly, but I doubt it. There's something telling the kernel to sleep which is why it happens when you turn your screen off. I'd try wiping /system before flashing a ROM. There might be something from liquid being left behind. Factory resets don't wipe /system. If you're ROM requires an intact /system such as Adrenaline, flash a stock rooted ROM first, then the custom ROM. That's what I'd try. Someone else might have a better idea.

Possibly, but I doubt it. There's something telling the kernel to sleep which is why it happens when you turn your screen off. I'd try wiping /system before flashing a ROM.

Actually every single time I flash a new rom, I go into advanced wipe and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache 3 times. Every Time. But I flagged that new firmware and was rubbing digital high rom from the Verizon thread and did not have the music issue. I'm running fluent rom sense 7 from the Verizon thread now but have not tested the music yet But will update you guys in the morning. Thanks for all your replies
Hi all,
I was given the TF700 by my grandma as she no longer used it and I've been trying to solve the issue of it being so sluggish etc, so I've managed to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom ROM however, since I tried to flash the KatKiss ROM, the WiFi refuses to work. Every ROM after that has had no WiFi either. I tried to flash back to stock, as was suggested to see if that would fix the WiFi issues, to see if that would help, however now it won't boot past the boot animation - no matter what ROM I try and use.
I'm refusing to give up on this guy as it has the potential to be an amazing tablet... Y'know, when I can actually get it to turn on.
I've checked and I'm on the latest bootloader (US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130601 - I'm hoping that's right?)
Does anybody have any suggestions? I can successfully boot into Kang TWRP and flash things via recovery, but I can't get any ROM to boot past the boot-animation. I don't want to get rid of the tablet, but I'm unsure of what to try next. As I can still get it powered on and into bootloader/TWRP, I figure there has to be some kind of hope. Have I missed off any details that may be needed?
If anyone could help me out, I'd be eternally grateful!

It sounds as if you are not formatting properly between flashing roms.
Try that first: Wipe > Format data > type yes
let it finish, the process takes a good hour. Then convert /data to f2fs

Flash the rom and gapps.
I bet it'll boot this time

Thank you so much! I'd been formatting but maybe not properly.
I'll give it a go once it has some charge in it - it's been trying to boot for about 7 or so hours now. I'll report back with anything if it helps.
So, I've managed to get the tablet to boot - but I'm still stuck with no working WiFi. It just greys out and says disabled. Bluetooth seems to work, but, I can't even connect to my phone to use it's data connection via Bluetooth tethering. I managed to get it to boot on KatKiss 7.1 - any ideas on the WiFi issue? Is there a flashable zip to fix WiFi drivers?

Nope, the rom should have everything you need. Don't know man - this is pretty unusual. You probably should flash it back to stock to have a point of reference.
If wifi still won't work on stock it's gotta be hardware.
Flash the stock blob in fastboot and then start from scratch:

Thanks for the link, but the official ASUS link in the post you've linked to is dead :/ I'll have a look after work tonight and see if I can find it anywhere else and whether I can get it working or not!

I tried all of the above steps and re-flashed KatKiss to find that the WiFi still did not want to work, which resulted in not being able to get past the setup wizard. I'm not sure what to try next, but at least it was worth a shot. Thank you for your help!
Well - did wifi work on stock?
You know about this bug right? From the OP:
Note that current gapps setup wizard will crash as it is not fully compatible with android 7.1.2 (KatKiss >= 022)
unless you turn on wifi manually after the language selection in the initial setup.
(if you don't have a dock, use the extra wifi button in the navbar)

Just seen this! Yeah, the WiFi worked fine on stock, but any custom ROM I tried had the same issue, so I'm not 100% sure what caused it. I sold the tab on after flashing it back to stock, though.
Thank you for your help though!
