[Q] Just got my GS2, Did I get a bad phone? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just got my GS2, and everything seemed well, until I click on the music player...it pops up artists/songs etc...I click on a song and the whole phone freezes...screen goes blank, and eventually 5-15 seconds later it will start playing. While playing phone is almost non responsive...I'll try to pull down the notification bar, click the back button, home button, nothing, then eventually it catches up and does everything at once. Also, I had a tmo mishap and had this phone for a day, --had to ship it back-- anyways, on that one, when I did GPS test it said 23 in view, this phone says 12...nothing above that.
It is completely stock 2.35. I have powered it off 5 times now, and every single time same thing happens. Scrolling the home screen and hitting the APPS button very fast, the phone is quick as hell and keeps up, it's the damn music player that just completely messes it up.
I'm thinking maybe a bad internal memory card??? Any help would be great...
Thanks

I'd say that's a defective device, unless the issue doesn't occur with a different rom...

Try a factory reset.

same thing after factory reset...
also if I have my headphones plugged in the microphone doesn't work is that normal... I can hear people but they can't hear me during a phone call also none of the voice search functions work while headphones plugged in
I'm using a normal 3.5 millimeter line out cable with no microphone in it to an fm transmitter. on my vibrant this works fine I didn't need a cable with the microphone in it is that not the case in this phone?

[Q] BlueTooth with Aduio Jack plugged in

Is there any way for me to use bluetooth to talk on my phone with the audio jack plugged into my car? My headset is better than the speakerphone option, and right now I have to unplug the headphone jack every time I get a phone call.
I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to this. I am not using the OEM Samsung dock (though I will buy one if it fixes the problem).

Market troubles

Any body have this issue? I have tried everything multiple hard resets, clearing cache/data and uninstalling updates. I have searched and found nothing in regards to this issue only that people reported apps came back after a few days, mine on the other hand has been weeks so I have to manually search for my updates which sucks. Any ideas would be much appreciated I'm running complete stock and have sent multiple emails to Google's support team or what they call support with no answers

How or when did this happen? Did you just open the market one day and see this or was it after a new phone or rom flash? Did you check the market website and try clearing out the registered devices?

Thank you very much going to gibe it a go right after the Vikings game, I did go to the online market and its weird it shows all the phones I've ever used and carrier being sprint but on the sph-d710 it shows no carrier little odd
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Made the call, they say this is a known issue affecting any and all phones on all carriers with a fix in the works, not sure if I can completely buy in on this as no one else here has the same issue (so far) and none of my customers have had the issue either. Hopefully no one else is affected but it seems like it could be random

Do any roms for this phone have the ics full screen dialer/incoming call?

I just need to know which one(s). So far the Odin ics roms have the small thumbnail image from gingerbread. I hate that. Full screen dialer/incoming call is the only reason I want ics. AND NO!!! I DON'T WANT TO DOWNLOAD A APP TO GET A WORK AROUND FULL SCREEN..

Ever try Cm9? or Aokp? I'm pretty sure the reason why that thumbnail image is there is due to touchwiz.
No.... I used caulks ROM for a while then just been using the tar files to avoid bricking. I'll wait for someone to confirm those have it before I switch. I have this fd26 set up nicely. Won't change without confirmation.

screen flciering doesn't mean the whole screen is 'bricked' or something.
you see he is in gallery. if his whole screen was broken there would only be a black screen, but you did feel your battery getting hot, because your phone was on, but the screen broken and so could not display anything. and yet, it screenshots what it sends to the screen, so you can also see the flickering.
there is a part of it broken, and a part still working, and the screenshot-taking part is still working.

From the dialer, go menu, call settings. You should see a check box for use extra volume for calls. I doubt enabling it will help your issue, but certainly worth a shot it to see if it does.
Could it be in speakerphone mode?
Tried that. Still very loud. Not really sure what to do other than deal with it.

I experienced this as well. I fixed it by pressing the volume down, and then using my finger to adjust the volume down the rest of the way, then suddenly my volume toggles starting working perfectly (like holding the volume down took it allll the way down)

Does the ROM you're using have any sort of EQ enabled amplifying your speaker? ie DSP Manager, Volume+, etc.
Have you run the sound test using headphones yet?
Is it still too loud over BT or headset calls?
Lastly do you ever encounter the volume getting louder when you turn it down?
-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
If it's loud on low setting then all that's left is earplugs.
Download another ROM

Im running cleanrom and it uses a mod caled sTweaks. You can change the gain on any volume setting (call, music via speaker, music via headphones, etc) check your rom to ensure it doesnt have a tool of this nature allowing you to turn it down
