Hey.
Anyone else have this issue?
The side button works most of the time but every once and awhile it doesn't. This is my second gs2(both have had this issue). I think it may be an app causing this but no luck in determining which one.
Any tools I can use to help troubleshoot?

You mean it won't turn on at all? Do you have to do a battery pull to fix the problem?
Yeah I have to pull the battey.

Transcend 16 GB Class 6.
It also happened with 8 GB SanDisk Class 2.
Ive given up no more cards use on this device It does more harm then good.
They slowdown device wake up which is very annoying topping that off with screen not turning on when pressing power button.

Ok. After having started the vertical lines thread I don't want to seem like a negative Nancy.
But my device has just been rebooting randomly like probably 5-10 times a day. Anyone else have this issue?
I'm assuming its a software issue knowing Samsung. But I just want to confirm with other people. I may exchange mine if I'm the only one having this issue.
I so really like the device though. Runs fast and smooth. Just stop rebooting on me! Lol
It did it once while I was writing this.

I have had one random reboot that I've noticed... Unfortunately it happened to me today as I was calling to speak with a guy about a possible job... He bought the "my phone dropped" answer I gave him when I called back but there was a frantic moment or two on my end when it happened...
What apps have you installed?

I did some reading and it looks like one of the other galaxy sII variants had reboot issues with SD cards.
I have a 16gb Samsung card I put into mine. I'm not sure if that's related. Perhaps I should just exchange.

If its an SD card issue then take out the SD card and see what happens or try formatting the SD card. I also have a 16gb SD card that I took out of my old Hd2 and my phone is working flawlessly. Definitely the best phone I've used to date and I've owned 2 Nexus S, 1 Nexus One, 2 G2x, 1 Hd2, 4 myTouch 4G, 1 myTouch 4g Slide, 1 Sensation 4g, 2 Vibrant's, Hd7 etc.
My point is I know my stuff when it comes to these Smart/Super Phones and I can say this one tops them all.

No reboots. I had a friend on a diff phone get random reboots after reloading their SMS and MMS from a backup. I think he had too many

Same here, and also almost the same amout of reboots per day. I even flashed the Stock, deodexed, rooted ROM posted and still rebooted. It always do it when it's in my leather case. Haven't seen it yet do it out of the case. I'm assuming it might be the magnet on the case.
My opinion the volume rocker & power sticks out a little bit to much.
Anyways I'm getting my replacement from Wirefly today. Let's see how the 2nd unit does.

Hate to necro a thread, but better than starting a new one for the same issue Same problem as zoth...stock rooted deodexed ROM, 16GB SD card (but it was doing it before I put the SD card in), not under or over clocked, maybe 20 installed apps. Mine also seems to reboot when in the leather case. I go to make a call or text, pull it out, and its rebooting.
Is there a known fix? Or just return it? Just got it a week ago.
I've had one reboot but I was messing with clocks and voltages. Other than that, smooth sailing here.

OK. I didnt know if it was the ROM or the hardware. Im currently using Mr X's Tmoble SGH-T989UVKL1 Stock, Rooted, Lightly Tweaked, 100% [CIQ Free]
I was having this problem for a while, turned out my internal memory had somehow gotten corrupted.
To test is this is your problem, make a nandroid backup and then restore to it. If there is an error while restoring, then your memory is corrupted and you need to run SuperWipe.
In case you're worried about losing your data, at least in my case, I could still restore to the backup that had the corruption, but restoring it would cause the corruption to be present again, but obviously no guarantees.

It's software, definitely not hardware!
Why bother taking your case off, or wearing out the battery cover clips, or move more the necessarily?
This has never failed me.
Yes. To be honest, though, I always thought that it was power+volume up.
nope, just one button.

I don't believe you
Holding it down for around 10 seconds will also do a soft reboot.
You can also open up your dialer and punch in *#350# to do a full reboot.
Thanks for the tip, as a new E4GT and Droid user all these tips and tricks are helpful!
you would think this would be a universal feature on all electronics by now.

Wait, what? This is news to people? Every phone and computer I've ever owned does this. And it's listed in the manual for our phone. I'm sorry, is this supposed to be a joke I'm missing or something?

When people are shocked that you can "quickly and easily" adjust the brightness of your screen by sliding your finger across the notification menu, then yes, this is definitely ground-breaking news.
Any owner's manual typically holds a few nuggets of awesome like this.

Sounds like the card may just be faulty?
I have had one incident with my current SD card recently where it wiped itself but fortunately it hasn't happened again. I have a 32 GB Class 10 also. I have read of other experiences with QC issues with lesser known brands like "Patriot" (my current) or "PNY". I think for my next one I'll spend the extra dough and go Samsung. I hear those are built like tanks

Hi guys, I have a fairly annoying issue at hand here.
I am a (semi) proud owner of the Koodo S2X, which was a huge upgrade from my LG Optimus One. The phone is great, but lately there have been alot of freezing issues where the phone would become unresponsive for a few minutes, except for the lock button, which would not actually lock the screen. But, and this is the second time its happened, it erased my SD card. I have a 3.75 gb card in it, which was once loaded up with stuff, and my phone decided to erase it after it froze. Then, just yesterday, it erased it after I synced some files to it from my laptop. Is there any record of this happening to anyone else, and any way of preventing it from happening again? The whole reason I have a memory card is to store stuff on it, but I can't for fear it will become deleted...thanks in advance, everyone.

I'd recommend trying another SD card. If your current one is corrupted or gone bad, it can cause all sorts of similar issues. Otherwise, I don't know, sorry.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Please hit thanks if I helped.
Hmm, alright. I'll try another card for a while and see if the problem persists. Thanks alot for the reply! As simple as it was, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Alright, I just had my Note 2 replaced under warranty due to overheating a shutting down (Best Buy refurb phone replaced it) and I'm running into more issues with the replacement phone than the original. For example, I use Swype to text/type, but when I try and type the word "down" for example, it will seemingly not follow my finger across the screen properly as it breaks it into two words "f2f upper" and the word "assignment" registers as "ahoy highly rent". Now, I have tried other swype-type programs, including the samsung keyboard (default) and it does the exact same things on there which leads me to believe it has to be a phone issue.
Anyone ever had a similar experience and if so how did you resolve the issue.
It happened once or twice to me so I just killed my ram to free up space. Then it started working right. Try doing that, sounds like your running low on ram so its getting glitchy.
