I am considering upgrading to 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini to solve the "sleep of death" problem... is anyone out there who has upgraded to 2.3.4 still having the "sleep of death" problem?
Whats sleep of death problem ?
It's when the phone is still "on" but will not wake up. The only way to get it working is to take out the battery. Many are reporting this happening every day or two.
Happens on i9000 for me, I just keep powerbutton pressed until it reboots. No need to remove battery.
I think i need to do a factory reset on phone + sd card someday, maybe it resolves it.
this happened to me too. just reset phone and when it starts, try to use the phone or just simply tap the phone every time it tries to sleep (anything works as long it doesn't sleep)... just keep on doing this for about 30min? or more
(make yourself busy while doing this cuz its gonna be boring just tapping)
I think it's related to hardware problem (not confirmed yet anyway)... Don't believe that "upgrade" could be the solution..
I actually hope so!

I just upgraded today using kies.... now when I try to start up it never gets past the step where it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Mini" text. Creating another thread for this problem.
With CheckFUSDownloader (thanks to Luffarjoh - search 3D) you can download the archive used to update your fw and, so, reflash it with Odin (even more times if needed)...

Nope, it's not hardware related. Never had a SOD since I used tjstyle's CM7.
Early Gingerbread firmware from Samsung has SOD too, but I think the latest versions doesn't.
Official firmware is now on 2.3.5, FYI.
If I can't get passed the logo screen what is the best way to get my firmware information? The guides say I need this info to choose the right rom.
Thanks!
This is a Froyo problem, didn't happen in Gingerbread :3
Yeah, had the same problem when on Froyo, after flashing GB2.3.4 the problem hasn't occured.

Hello Everybody,
I am new to XDA-Developers . I'll cut to the chase. I bought a Samsung galaxy ace GT-S5830L. It had 2.3.4 android Gingerbread in it. As I became more interested in android I searched Google to upgrade my phone. At last I found Cyanogen Mod 9 RC1 (4.0.4). I didn't realize then that it was a themed 2.3.4 android. So I installed that ROM by formatting my original stock ROM. I was very happy to have my phone updated. But then I realized that I cant go a day without FM radio, Camera, Video recording etc. So I decided to go back to my stock ROM. I couldn't find any original ROM for my mobile. So I downloaded the MythAce2. I was also charming. But I didn't like the theme. So the I downloaded MIUI expression v1.21. I liked it very much. Even FM radio was working. But FM radio couldn't work without Bluetooth and I couldn't control radio's volume. So I again browsed internet then found a way to flash my ace using ODIN multi downloaded + cooper. I successfully flashed my phone when I used laptop. But my laptop is wasted and I need to flash my ace running on MIUI expression v1.21 Because I cant run app in it. So when I try to flash ace with my desktop, I couldn't done it. Can anyone help my how to do it? I did every steps said in instruction. But it stuck and don't proceed even if it passed half and hour.
N.T: I am from Bangladesh.

Did you installed correct device drivers on your PC? Or Kies?...
On odin you get stuck on AMS download or something similar dont you?...
Hi All,
I have a Galaxy TAB GT-P1000 STOCK!!! Firmware Version 2.2 - Kernel [email protected]
Almost over night it developed a strange fault its just restarts goes into the home screen you can access the device for anything up to 2 mins Then it reboots.
So I thought not a problem I did a stock wipe of the device and reset. However this has not solved the problem!!!
Is this a mechanical (sticky power button) fault or is this software?
At this point I dont mind flashing the phone with a non standard ROM if needed. However would like to keep it standard if possible?
Close this one off in the end I flashed a stock ROM it worked a treat!
hi friends need help .
Last night i rooted my galaxy note with cwm.tar recovery and superuser.

I flashed to stock rom ics and jelly bean but still problem not solved please help me friends. i sure its not hardware issue any suggestion ?

OK here's you're first problem, this is not the thread for your device. Second you may need to use Odin to flash your original stock ROM. Your stock firmware can be found at www.sammobile.com or samfirmware.com. If that doesn't work it maybe a hardware problem. Next time search XDA for your phone's model number. This thread is for SGH-T879. Good luck. P.S. don't use ROM manager to flash CWM If your exact phone isn't listed. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone.
