Phone turns off atleast twice a day:( - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey all, I'm running Juggernaut v4.1.
Recently my phone has started turning off randomly. It seems to shut down mostly when charging but it did it the other day while it was unplugged.
Anyone having this problem?
I missed my alarm this morning because my damn phone turned off so I missed my last chance to see my uncle before they pulled the plug in him

Lol... It has been, no doubt about it!
That's weird you guys are experiencing issues like that... I used the same for over a month and never experienced anything like that.
have you flashed any themes, perhaps a kernel?
Give this one a shot

I've been running it since it was released and it's running great. I haven't come across anything, really smooth and good battery life.

There are many things that can cause this. First, is the phone overheating? (Overclocking can do that, and I think juggernaut uses bullet kernel with default settings, meaning it's overclocked to 1.6 by default.)
Also, I remember there is a bug in Juggernaut with the lockscreen. Are you guys using the circle lock screen? And if so, did you add a 3rd shortcut? That will cause hot reboots.
If you aren't using the circle lockscreen, I'd suggest first, trying another kernel, and make sure it doesn't overclock/undervolt by default. (Some phones can handle this better than others).

My phone was doing this when i got back from a couple week trip.i don't see how leaving it shut off for so long cause it.i just re flashed the ROM with the darkside kernel and have yet to see any issues....knock on wood.lol

Happened to me before, missing the alarm (not the uncle part, sorry about that)
Its the bullet kernel, flash any other kernel and it should do the trick.
The ones I recommend would be Darksides kernel or Eugenes

Thanks for all the replys.
I will definitely try flashing a different kernel.
I haven't been using circle lock screen so sounds like that may help.
Will keep you updates.

FB17 - Doesn't Vibrate unless in Silent Mode

My phone will not vibrate for a phone call or notification in any mode other than vibrate/silent mode. Anyone else having this issue? also, even with vibration intensity set to maximum, it is extremely low compared to the way it was with Gingerbread. It would really help if you guys tell me what you're experiencing so that I know if its my physical phone, or just the ics builds fault. Thanks.
Yeah same here
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
it will be fixed in the final build
Is this the only bugs from this rom update or is there anymore. Reason for asking i'm looking for a good rom to install on my E4GT that i just bought. I can dealwith no vibrate never use it anyways.
Am I the only one who can't set contact photos.? Ever since I flashed everything works besides that

Haven't tried. I already had contact photos set up before, and they just carried over without any extra effort. The same should've happened for you.

To the vibrating issue... I use vibrate all of the time and went from fb17 to fb21 to blends fb21 hoping there was a fix for this and the other issues. The vib issue was there with every one of them. I ended up being weak and went back to GB. But I did read in the galaxy 2 threads that some people tried sound manager app and that worked. Didn't know if anyone on an ICS rom wanted to try that out on our e4gt's.

More thanks for mentioning Sound manager, e92dream. That worked and resolved the biggest problem I've had with FB21 so far. Yes, GPS is finnicky and there are a few other issues, but they're all avoidable. That one was the biggest impact.

Well if feeling the vibration is very important to you, I wouldn't go back just yet, because the intensity is extremely weak compared to the way it originally was.

Yeah. I'm on Calkulin's 2.9.1 & definitely missed this ROM. It's very stable for my daily uses. Can't wait til he has a custom ICS rom. Anyways, did sound manager with the volume at all? I didn't mention it but my volume didn't seem as loud either.

No problem. The vibration/sound and SMS/mms issues were killing me but I found a work around for the messaging. I'm not familiar with system and script editing so I had no clue how to tackle the vib/sound issue. Every app I tried said the system vibration was disabled so I gave up.

TweetCaster causing serious heating??

Ok, I just want to see if anyone else is having this problem. Ive found that tweetcaster on any ICS rom ive tried seems to cause major heating. I know ICS leaked builds have had this issue in general, but I just want to know if anyone else is encounteering the same problem.
Cpu usage gets to about 47% and then the phone will get super hot, and then of course battery takes a nose dive. I hate to switch twitter apps, but its the best one out there for most. any input from people that are using it.
oh yeah follow me on twitter lol @yungjuice216 haaaa
Haven't had that myself, but if it helps i really like Plume(switched to it from tweetcaster). Hasn't caused issues for me on fd26. Sorry

UPDATE!!! I just installed agats kernel last night at 9p.m and today at 10:00 am my battery life has move than doubled from what it was. The onething I noticed that the Android percentage dropped from 63% to 39% when I reviewed what was using my battery. Anyone else seen this? Agats 2.2 kernel is the one I installed.

I thought it was bad at first but yesterday I got 12 hours and today so far its at 11 hours and 30 min's and is still at 57%. Its only gonna get better cause the OS is still the highest thing draining my battery so its still pulling the stats. I think its good battery life.
Same as flashing any ROM. It takes a couple of days for the battery to settle into the ROM. The first couple of charge cycles are probably gonna be garbage. After a few days you should be fine. Don't worry about all the whiners.
I think people been exaggerating the battery drain.. It hasn't been bad.. Just gotta give stuff time to settle in and stop tweaking stuff and always changing up something... I been having great battery with heavy usage

Personally, I have not had any issues. In fact, my battery life has significantly improved. I am still trying to pin down if it is app or ROM related.

I think there should be a stickied thread where people can see why phones shut off! 90% of the times it is cause of a bad battery. Everyday 2 3 new threads are created and everyone has to reply the same tiing over and over again.

JB Glitch: shuts off on pics with flash

Any time I attempt to take a picture and all settings on auto including flash; the phone just completely shuts off as I take the pic. Happens only when flash turns on for the pic.
Any one else experience this, might only happen if battery level is under 50%.. Never happened with ics, only after my stock JB update
Only happens when picture is of something close up...very strange.
Tis an isolated incident my lad. Maybe is time for ye to ROOT!!!
If you ever get a clock with the wrong time on occasion it might be the RTC battery. If the flashlight kills it also it could be a flex cable coming loose.
If you hard reboot by holding power and the LED flashes it is a bad capacitor on the board.

No usually under 20% . You can try another gallery apk from another rom and sometimes that fixes it too.
