S2 Plus I9105P - Random Restarts

Hi Guys,
i have a big problem with my NEW Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus NFC, i bought this phone on last wednesday (19.03), first run, apps, just fun, no problems at all, but couple days after phone restarts two times in a row, i just left it on table and i hear samsung launch sound, after first reboot, couple minutes later, phone restart again... I was so mad, cuz god damn, this phone is NEW... one or two days after, when i turn on Mobile Data, phone restart again... please, guys, i beg you, how can i fix it? :crying:
I found many threads on the internet about this problem or similiar to this, but without solution.
Sorry for my bad language, but im so mad and in addition im from Poland.

Maybe try flash 4.2.2 rom?

If i flash 4.2.2 from, for example sammobile i don't lose warranty?

So while trying to take pics my camera settings and menus will not rotate with the phone rotations. Pics are turning out upside down and sideways. Any one else?

Yea, is been happening to me the last 2 days, ive been reading on the net it has been happening allot, no fix for it yet.
Allot of verizon people are having this issue. The said the sensors are bad if you look and check, dial *#0*#
Hopefully they come out with a hardware update or someone figures this out. I don't feel like taking my phone back, some people have done this already and its happen to the second phone.

Ahhh. Thanks for the reply. I've noticed the edge is not lighting up anymore either. Everything worked fine the first day. Crazy stuff, but glad to hear I'm not the only one. Still really like the phone, though.

Did you do the software update on yours? My update is ready but wondering if that's what messed up my first edge
---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------
Ok I just finished a conversation with Samsung and here it is
Santino: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Ryan: Hello. I am on my second s6 edge. My first got the rotate screen issue. Is this caused from the update or is it a hardware issue? My #2 edge I haven't updated yet. Should I avoid this update?
Santino: Hi Ryan!
Santino: I am sorry to know that you are facing issue with the device after the software update.
Santino: I will be happy to help you.
Santino: As of now we have not encountered with the issue you are referring on the device.
Santino: Please provide me the Baseband version of the device. You can locate it under Apps > Settings > About device > Baseband version.
Ryan: ***** I have read this has happened to several people on sprint and Verizon.
Santino: Thank you.
Ryan: I have been reading its an issue with the gyroscope. Not sure if it actually goes bad or if the software messes it up? Some people have gone through 3+ edges with the same issue
Santino: Your device operates on Android™ version 5.0.2, Lollipop (G925PVPU1AOCF).
Santino: As of now have not encountered with the issue you are referring on the device. I recommend you update the software on device.
Ryan: It wouldn't have anything to do with the rapid charging that makes the gyroscope defective would it? I would have to have to go get a third phone. If this update messes my phone up I may consider a different brand of phone
Santino: I do understand your concern Ryan.
Ryan: Is there a supervisor that may know of issues with the edge? I read that Samsung and carriers are aware of the rotating issues.
Santino: Could you provide me with the Samsung link were the issue has been posted.
Ryan: It was on some android sites
Santino: I apologize, Samsung does not confirms the issue that are posted on Non-Samsung sites.

Sorry for all of the comments. Last one. I just talked to another support person and here is his answers. He says this whole rotation issue is software related and will be fixed
Adan: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Ryan: I just thought I would ask a second agent before taking my chances. I am on my second s6 edge (Sprint). My last one had the auto rotate issue. Was curious if its the update or a hardware issue? Not wanting to go back and get a third device so I haven't installed the update yet on this one
Adan: Hello Ryan!
Adan: I understand your concern. I will help you out with the information on Screen rotation.
Adan: The Screen rotation is a Software issue Ryan.
Ryan: Should I avoid the update that is currently available?
Adan: If you do not update the device now, you will be prompted in the future to update the device. Initially you will have the update the device later Ryan.
Ryan: I turned off automatic updates so it doesn't install unless I tell it to. Are you saying I will have to do this update to install the fixed update when it is available?
Adan: Not to worry, as you mentioned that the earlier device was facing the issue after the update, there will also be a fix for the issue. They will release a fix for the issue.
Ryan: My question is can I skip this current update and wait for the one with the fixes?
Adan: You might not be able to skip the current update Ryan. The other update will only be prompted on the device if you are updated to the latest version of Android for the device.
Ryan: so basically I can wait for the new update to be announced and then update to the bad one that's available now and then I will get a notice to update to the fixed software?
Adan: Yes Ryan. I am positive that the issue might not persists after updating to the software that you have now.
Ryan: How close is Samsung to releasing a patch to fix this issue? I have 13 more days I can return this phone if it happens again. Id hate to have to go back to an iPhone
Adan: The Update is a carrier specification and it differs from carrier to carrier , However, once the update is released you will be notified by the carrier through notifications on the device and also it will be posted on the Samsung Website.
Ryan: has the update already been made available and I am now just waiting on sprint to release it?
Adan: As of now the update has not yet been released Ryan.
Ryan: How soon until it is or do you have any knowledge on that? Like I mentioned I have less than 2 weeks to decide if I should keep this phone
Adan: I am afraid we at Samsung live chat do not have the information on the release dates of the updates. I do understand that you have 2 weeks for replacement.
Adan: Not to worry Ryan, the fix will be released for the device.

Had the same issue with my phone. Had to bring it back and get another one.

Wife's phone had the same problem, I've got verizon she has sprint, they replaced hers. Hopefully not a occurring problem

Auto Rotate / Edge lighting on 128 GB Model
I received my edge on Thursday of last week. Which was on the 16th. I had no problems until yesterday of the Auto Rotation. I downloaded a Auto rotater app to see if it will rotate. It will rotate if you lock it into landscape mode. But If you don't it will not rotate. I also noticed Calendar does not rotate and messages do not rotate and neither does web pages. But Full Screen Movies and Music will rotate even with Google apps. Not just youtube. I also noticed that if you play with home button clicking on it several times it will rotate the screen for a second then if tilted it rotate back. This could be just a fluke but I did notice this. I do not think it is the fast charger because if something was to burn out it wouldn't last for 10 days. Or it wouldn't last over 2 days beside when something burns out it's electrical it would smell like burning no matter if it was very small it still would smell like something has or had burnt. Especially when they say the battery is getting hot enough to burn it out. I had this on the charger for 2 days off and on and it never got so much as luke warm. Mine stays on the y axis at -39.23, and seems to be fine on the x axis. Maps do not rotate. either. So what I do know is out of the blue my phone did a reset a day before this happened. I did not reset the phone it seemed to be fine after. But Monday morning I saw the Camera Icons all upside down. I then did a factory reset and did not install any apps. Even after the Reset I still couldn't get rotation to work, another thing I would like to note is Edge Lighting never worked out of the box. I tested it multiple times and didn't really care if I had that or not. But now I do care. But I also don't want to go back and get a new one. Here is some of the issues why, No Verizon carrier in my area has the 128 gb model on hand. I would have to wait 3 to 5 days for one from Verizon if they had them. Which then put me out of the range anyway to get a brand new one. On top of this when I got to print the return label it states I am over the 14 days. Which I just got my phone last week so this blows.
I can return it to the store I am told by Verizon but either for a 32 or 64GB model. I really don't want to down grade. So in the end is this or is this not a Software issue. All of Im finding is debating on it is and that it isn't.

I have a brand new S6 Edge just received today and the rotation doesn't work. Seems to be a common issue but Samsung has no idea how to fix it and told me to exchange it. Well, because I am on a Sprint SWAC account and there are no corporate stores around my area that is a HUGE pain to do. Should have stuck with my gut and got the M9

I got a new one and haven't used fast charge yet. So I am going to watch it. But my edge lighting is working. Which makes me a feel bit better . This one still still shows china. But I won't take my chances and fast charge it. I have had it less than 24 hrs. So I will keep and eye on it.

Mine works fine but here's what the update is about https://community.sprint.com/baw/mo...jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/posts/6365

It looks like the updated fixed the issue by changing the rotation to the gyro and not the accelerometer. What I was told is that if you check it's still stuck at the wrong degree.

You need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware back to OCF. Then you can take the OTA.

can you direct me to the firmware you speak of

If you are or were rooted and have not tripped knox, you need to use Odin to get back to stock firmware state OCF. Then you can get the update.

Z3 D6603 does not vibrate

Hello fellow z3'ers, so I picked up a 2nd hand z3. He was the original owner. He also sent it back to sony because of a previous problem which was it wasn't connecting to a network. So he got a replacement. Which I have now.
The vibrate does not work with any notifications or phone calls or texting.
I'm not rooted. On the latest 5.1.1 build 23.4.A.1.232
The good part is that he said he would handle the warranty exchange for me.
But I would like to know if anyone has had this problem or know how to fix it. Because I don't want to send it in but I will of I have to. So yea.
I've factory resetted already. Don't know what else besides that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi guys I have a problem with my galaxy s8+ that started 2 weeks a go: the front speaker[ in call speaker] has very very low sound when I speaking with someone on the phone. if I don't have my handsfree I cant hear nothing.
