[Q] Just got my GS2, Did I get a bad phone?

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?

Ive tried taking the battery out, i even installed the samsung drivers, nothing, my old sgs2 just connected perfectly to my laptop. What can i do
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Well uninstall the drivers and reinstall them
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

use usbdeview to uninstall all the samsung and android related stuff and then plug your phone back in
btw try a different usb port too

Try installing samsung kies software on your PC. I believe the software installs all the samsung drivers.

Tried it already, and ive also tried different usb cables and nothing, dammit ive beem having such bad luck lately
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

did you try usbdeview? because thats different from uninstalling drivers. It looks like it was interrupted when trying to install the phone, so you would need to remove any of those incomplete stuff using usbdeview. it has happen to me several times and usbdeview fixes it.

I ried kies... Nada, right now im about to try usbdeview, fingers crossed

it should work.
I'm not sure of the correct lingo or anything but simply... removing drivers does not remove what is installed when you plug in the usb; therefore, you need to remove what was installed (or incomplete installs). That is what USBDeview is for. And based on that picture. I'm pretty sure that is the case. good luck!

Nope no luck, this just frustrated the hell out of me, Im going out to drink a couple of beers to relieve some stress. Thank you all for responding if you all can think of anything else let me know, I'll be back tomorrow to try again.

ahhh that sucks, you said your previous t989 worked right? so it shouldn't be the issue with drivers. I would suggest trying to install the drivers from one of the rooting threads onto another computer and try plugging it in. Not kies. I remember installing kies caused problems for me. But yeah try a different computer.. if that fails too it's probably the phone.

Horrible battery life all of a sudden...

I was getting great battery life earlier today... I put my phone to charge at about 18% and now this...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

do you have a lot of apps running in the backround? are you running a rom? a custom kernel?

Have you tried calibrating the battery?

Your screen isn't going to sleep.
My solution when this happens is to wipe my caches, usually works flawlessly. I've noticed I get this issue when I'm getting texts or calls. I don't know if it bugs out and activates in my pocket or perhaps the touch screen becomes active. After I wipe cache it usually doesn't do it for a long time. I've encountered this issue on several phones. Evo 3d, GS 1, and my GSII

Only app running constantly is Facebook (as usual for me) but that hasn't caused a problem before. I'm running are you jelling ROM for sprint, with whatever the stock kernel is... I usually use Franco but haven't installed it since I update the ROM.
I'm calibrating now
And I will wipe the cache as soon as I get done with this post

Try reflash your phone with stock/custom rom with format data and cache

Well is that 10% the like 100%-90%? I think I lose the first 15% the quickest. What's your total battery life?

Haven't really bothered using other apps as I don't use Wifi tethering much.

What app are you using then? I can only tell you for Kies Air, gives you the IP of your phone that you can browse in your web browser on a PC. Do accept pairing/connection request.

My phone isn't being recognized by my computer when I plug it in

Hi everyone,
So as the tittle says my phone isn't being recognized. I think this is due to the fact that I enabled fast charge ONE time and now ever since it won't let me access my internal SD card. Does anybody have any idea of what I can do? Thanks in advance
If it helps I'm running orca project with Trinity kernel.

I've been looking around I read that reflashing the ROM might fix it but I only wanna have to do this as a last resort if somebody doesn't know what to do.

Download a kernel settings app such as franco trinity or trickster mod. It will be in there for sure.
Screenshotbis with trickster mod. Check the market for the free version should work fine.

If it helps I think that my USB port is broken in some way. It charges but I can't get my phone recognized on 2 different computers even after flashing 2 different ROMs. So I ended up using air droid to copy all files to my computer then to my Nexus 4.
