Does it just not turn on at all? Sounds like your Bluetooth is not functional if it doesn't even work in stock ota

I doubt its bad luck nine dif phone I'm doing something wrong I'm sure but wat cause I even went back to completely stock no root or anything took the ota same thing no bluetooth
Edit: I should also add that I'm new to samsungs and odin/mobile odin etc. I've dealt mostly with htc
Edit: i got 2 more first one i update to ics ota no bluetooth 2nd one i got was already ics with working bluetooth i downgraded to el29 then did the same process as all the other phones but this one works????
Edit: ok so the one phone I got that was already on ics Bluetooth works but its white my personal phone is black I wanted to keep it black but have Bluetooth working so I swap motherboards but then Bluetooth didnt work once it was in the black housing nor did the white one anymore I restored them both to el29 then upgraded back to ics now Bluetooth works on the white phone again with the motherboard from my black phone but still dont work on my black phone even though the mother board in my black phone worked in the white housing, I then realized if I put the motherboard from any of the other phones ive tried in that white housing Bluetooth will work. Is it the antenna? If so y would i have so many with bad antennas plus they all work on gb

Black screen during call?

So my wife's epic is on EL30 (no FC09 yet, I've checked) and almost every time someone calls her and she answers, the screen goes black and will not turn on to be able to press anything. Also she cannot hear anything the person is saying on the phone but they can hear her. The screen comes back on when the person hangs up on the other end. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It may be a stupid question but is the phone to her ear when it won't turn on? Cuz its not supposed to... also if she is using the 100 mhz frequency try disabling that frequency and using 200 as the min.

She is actually 100% stock I haven't messed with her phone as of yet. So it is a stock issue. And yes when she pulls the phone away from her ear the screen is still black. And she can't hear anything. Also, the only way she can talk to anyone on the phone at all is on speaker phone.

If you have insurance bring it into sprint... sounds like maybe a malfunctioning proximity sensor... that doesn't really explain the sound issue though... again that also sounds hardware related (seens how your on stock rom). No insurance? Great videos on how to take this phone apart... take it apart and look for any loose ribbons or anything...

Odd issue with the captivate buttons

You by any chance using a 3rd party wall charger?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It's a common issue in low signal conditions. Mine does it constantly when switching from 3g to wifi or when data comes back after sending a text or on a call. There's several threads on the subject but there really isn't a fix as of now. I got around it by using an older version of paranoidandroid rom and using the onscreen buttons and disabling the physical capacitive buttons.
It has nothing to do with rom/kernel combos or if you're charging or not. I've tried it all.
Thanks yea sucks that my desk is right where this happens lol

Stock gingerbread touch issues

i work in the sprint store and in the past few days we have gotten at least 4 people with an epic touch still running gingerbread (with no option to update to ics) having issues with the bottom buttons not responding, touch screen acting weird, vibration activating sporadically, and with one case the media scanner runs in a loop. the only way to solve these issues have been to factory reset. but could only be temporary. the customers havnt returned. these issues have not just been happening on older devices but recent activation's.
is this a common issue? is there a fix? (without rooting!) we are a sprint store. we cant promote that lol
Check your same thread over in q&a...

Sounds like a batch of bad software flashes from the warehouse. Probably just need reflashed?

I thought the same thing but its been mostly from well established customers. It may have just been a coincidence but I'll see how this week turns out. The factory resets seem to have fixed the issues. Just could have been gingerbread getting confused after being used for awhile lol. Which brings me to another question.. is there any way to push the ics update to an epic touch that's still on gingerbread without Odin. Keep in mind this is a sprint store and we are very limited on our resources

Bought the SII on eBay for Cheap - Little Problem

Hi guys,
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII on eBay. I decided to take the plunge even though the seller said it was for "parts and not working". He said the problem he was having was that the phone would shut off by itself, no matter what he did. He said this happened maybe once every 10 times he pressed the sleep button.
I got it yesterday and started messing around with it. I haven't encountered the problem yet but I only used it for a few hours. I proceeded to successfully root the device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1) and it seems to work ok. I'm not using the phone yet and I guess I was just wondering if you think the problem may have just "gone away". If it did, I would feel very lucky. I won't know for sure until I start using the phone regularly, but I needed a reliable phone today at work and that's why I didn't bring it with.
Any thoughts on what could cause this issue and possible solutions are appreciated. I've read some people say it's related to the CPU or the button itself, or perhaps even the battery. The owner had never rooted the phone so he was just running the regular T-Mobile Gingerbread rom.
Thanks and Happy Friday!
Probably the power button problem

Thanks for answering, Teo. If it's that, it should be fairly simple to fix. I'll report back just in case somebody is having the same issue.
Since the JB ROM's suffer from random restarts and sleep of death issues, I would recommend flashing an ICS ROM. This will get you a more stable environment for testing, so if the device suddenly shuts it self off, you'll know it's not the ROM.

+1 to this suggestion. Flash a ROM that is known to be stable so you can confirm the original issue. I'd suggest stock (gb or ics, doesn't matter) for the best test environment.
Thank you guys! Your responses are greatly appreciated!

I bought it used on eBay, I'm not the original owner. And I didn't see the SquareTrade warranty option for this purchase, perhaps because it was under "For parts & not working". I haven't come across the problem yet. I have flashed a few different roms (ICS) but every one of them has given me some type of problem. I'm still using my very reliable myTouch 4G and I'm starting to doubt if I really want to dump it for the SII.

I'm keeping my MT .. at least for now. I actually paid more for it than for the SII! I'm using the SII full time and keeping the htc for backup. Im running Toasted Marshmallow on the htc and I like it a lot. I tried JK on the SII but gave me problems so I'm sticking to Team Chopstick for now.
