forgive me 4 my english.
When I bought my XDA II in Singapore, I also bought spare battery. In condition battery 100% full, also backup battery full I've tried 2 change with another simcard. but when I put the battery back the phone suddenly perform a hard reset. As U all know it only take 5-10 seconds to change the simcard.
I've tried like 10-20 times but sometimes it performed hard reset but sometimes it didn't. It's freak me out. coz I have to put installer in my SD and it waste some of my memory card space.
Please help.
I live in Indonesia and XDA service centre here is sucks. They did not helping me at all.
My XDA II spec's : (which is full of bug like many of you guys said)
RUU 1.66.WWE
bootloader 1.06.
be sure to completely move the red battery-holder into the open position.
This switches between internal backup battery and normal battery.

won't work either. Last night I'd tried to dissasamble my XDA. after that it's just work fine. I've been trying for like 5 times. finally the backup battery is working fine. But I wanna try it again today. Just keep my finger cross guys.....
some technician in my country tell me to carefully change batt or SIM. when you want to put off battery and change something, be careful that you put backcase out off your device. If your backcase still attach to your device and badluck that it touch to electrode (place that connect with batt), it will discharge all of your back up battery with 5-6 second
I have the same problem when I change the battery only. It is stated that one needs to quickly change the battery, in order for the contents to be intact. I tried to open the battery latch & shut it immediately, the contents are lost and the xda2 re-setup itself again.
I think the only way is to xbackup to the SD card, change the battery, restore back from the SD card.
In other words, getting a spare battery is NO USE! You can't swap in & out whenever you like, unless you are prepared to backup & restore.
Anyone has different experience?

finally I know what's the problem. It's the lock button for the main battery. Yesterday I've tried to dissasamble again. then I know where the problem started. The main battery lock switch was not completely switching between the main and the backup battery switch onboard. But now it's working just fine.
I hope this'll help you guys.
hmm....ok, i tried again, this time very careful to make sure the latch moved to the very end, i changed the battery within 5s time & i still have the contents intact.
Anyone tested what is the max. time allowed for the battery switch?

Hi All,
Everytime I do a battery swap or even simple battery pull out and put it, when the unit reboots back, I realise I need to reset back the time and date.
Anyone have this issue on their HD2? (non T - Mobile model)
TQ
techx
I think it has something to do with internal back up battery, not sure if hd2 has one but many other models did have like in the computer and other electronics.
First off, I tried searching around and couldn't find anything relating to this. I found things relating to high temperatures and abnormal battery usage but found nothing about this being cause by a memory card.
Anyways, since inserting a 4GB SanDisk memory card into my phone the battery gets drained very quickly. What makes this even stranger, when I plug the phone in to charge, the temperature gets very hot (~48C) and the battery doesn't charge. I'm assuming it doesn't charge because of the high temperature.
Since removing the memory card the battery life has returned to normal and the phone charges as it should at normal temperatures.
I'll appreciate any help or tips on how to fix this issue.

I would assume that the SD Card you have is faulty somehow. I would first try another SD Card to see if it also causes the same problem. If it does then it is likely a hardware issue and if it does not then you know it was a faulty card...
Just my opinion... Anyone else have any advice?
Use something like OS monitor to see if the media scanner process or DRM processes is going nuts.
It may be that you have some media on your SD card that the media scanner cant deal with and it causing it to get stuck, try backing up and formatting the card.
Also what rom are you on?
Well this is something, I re-inserted my memory card and now the phone doesn't boot up properly. I tried removing the memory card and it still doesn't boot up properly.
Usually the screen with the 'S' that says Samsung Galaxy S II goes away after a second or two, now it stays for about a minute and doesn't even take me to the home screen. It takes me to the screen that says "To begin touch the android" (the screen you see when you turn the phone on for the first time and asks you to setup a google account) but heres another twist, I can't interact with that screen because in the foreground there are several errors saying Sorry! --- application has stopped please try again and these errors just keep looping.
My rom is stock android 2.3.3

Your best if you don't want to have to format your phone is to use odin to flash your stock rom again (make sure its a non wipe package)
That should leave your user apps/data but you might lose stuff like sms's.

Is your phone brand new? Did you just get it?
I had a Motorola Xoom Tablet that was like that right out of the box and I had to Factory Reset / Wipe the device to fix it.
Follow the advice of the previous poster and try to flash your stock ROM again with Odin and see if that fixed the issue and if not then you will likely have to Factory Reset your device.
If THAT fails then it is off for a warranty repair or to a service center Id assume...

After clicking force close about a hundred times (literally) I managed to get back to the home screen but I've noticed some stuff has changed, See where it says Phone Contacts Messaging Applications in the middle image for me it just says Applications.
Any idea as to whats going on here?
EDIT: I just noticed if I try to open an app, the app crashes instantly.

I've had this phone since July (when it became available in Canada). It worked flawlessly until I decided to put in a memory card a few days ago.
EDIT: And I just tested the memory card in my old phone and it works just fine there.
Hey so today I woke up to find my phone dead while connected to the charger, I couldn't unlock it and it had the red led on all time like a warning light since it should be charger after all night. The phone was extremely hot, so I guess I shot down due to excesive heat. When I removed the battery and then put it back in, it turned on and everything was normal.
I don't know what happened though here are my details: I had been having some trouble with "media" draining my battery like crazy, running stock JB rooted with phenomenal kernel extreme, AND i don't know if it has to do with it, I have a hyperion 4200mAh battery.
This happened to my twice with the hyperion battery on and overnight, haven't actually tested if it happens with the stock battery. This started happening after the so called media battery drain appeard.
Please if someone has an idea help me

You can clear the media scanner bug by wiping sd, or you can use the media scanner toggle from play store to disable it,
That indicates there are problems with the SD card, and possibly loss of data. That happened to me once with the S II.
First of all, remove the SD card from the phone and connect it to the PC (using and USB adapter or built in sd-card media reader).
If Windows asks you to fix the sd card, say NO.
If the sd card is readable, backup all your data.
Now format the sd card and copy the data back to it. Insert into the S III, power on and good luck.
I'll have to try that
Thanks! I think I'm going to have to do the wipe since I tried the other methods and they didn't work!
Thank you, I will report back as soon as I can
it worked!
Thank you guys the formatting worked like a charm! Appreciate it!
Hello everyone.
After several hours of googling and going through tons of pages here on xda I decided to make this post.
First, let me explain when the problem started:
The issue
Yestarday I was playing candy crush when suddenly the game started to get "laggy". I didn't think of it, exit the game and left my phone on the table. A few hours later I wanted to use it again only to find the small hard drive icon on the top saying something about Memory almost full. I clicked it and it took me to "All installed programs". I saw that it had used 1.9 gb of the total 2gb and only 20-40 mb were free. I started immediately to uninstall apps that I no longer use to see if this could help. It did for a few seconds but the memory got filled fast again.
This is when I started to search the net for solutions. The first post I read was to delete some log files so i did that. But it didn't change a thing. I thought to myself that I should make a backup of my stuff so it wouldn't go lost if I had to wipe the phone. But before I got to it my phone shut down. Now, when I turned it back on it would just start Media Scan and shortly after shut down. This is where I am now.
I am running stock ROM (have never rooted before).
What I have tried
I found the stock ROM (4.1.2 I think) and I flashed it with Odin thinking this would stop my phone from restarting. It did not.
I have tried to clear cache from Recovery Mode several times with no effect.
I have tried to wipe the phone from Recovery Mode but when I am half way through the setup process of setting up the phone for first use, it shuts down.
My battery also drops in power after the shutdown happens, so in this very moment I am waiting for the battery to charge fully so I can try to calibrate.
Please let me know if you need some additional information and I will happily provide what I can.
Thanks in advance!
You have flash stock and it still shuts down? Hardware problem. Battery old? Try with charger plugged in. Flashing stock makes it like new so there should be no faults. Id say battery is about had it. What firmware did you flash and were from?
My phone (and battery) is almost 1 year old so im still under warrenty if something fails. I just don't want to hand it in and wait weeks to get it back if I can handle it myself
Yes I flashed with stock ROM from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 so it should be good.
It makes no difference if the charger is plugged or not (which I find odd cause shouldn't it be able to keep awake while on alternating current?).
At the time typing this my phone is online and I am currently backing up photos (yay!!!). What I did was to not type in PIN code so maybe the sim card is the trouble (also 1 year old). I will report back when everything is backed up.
Update:
4 seconds after entering the PIN code the phone shuts down. Also it plays about 10 silent "clicks". Can't hear if its from the phone or from the speaker.
Update2:
Alright so I tried inserting another sim card that I have which has no pin code. The phone boots (but only when plugged) but shuts down after statup, exactly the same place/ after the same time as when I use the other SIM and enter the code.
I have had it online for 5 minutes now without typing the pin so my guess is that it's some setting it loads with the sim that makes it crash (but its a wild guess).
It's also worth noting that it doesen't drop in battery capacity when it shuts down ATM.
Id still say battery problem but could be wrong.
I see some sort of flicker on the screen just before it shuts down. I don't know if this could help someone to address the problem.
For the full memory issue i solved wiping log files in the "/data/log" dir, i had almost 1000 log files, 1 MB each.
Hope this is your problem too.
There is hardly anything left in the /data folder. I have tried to delete the logs (65 mb) from Phone/log but that didn't change a thing. Im going to send the phone to the company i bought it from next week.
Ive recieved a battery that I ordered from china and the phone works now. So the problem was the battery just to let everyone know.
Glad you sorted it.
The problems I have in my SII(Rooted) is very unusual. First is what I have was the micro SD. It was suddenly write-protected. SO what I did, I opened root manager in ES file manager and made it from RO to RW but no difference, it still stays at RO. 2nd is, It only scanned SOME music files in my sd card and phone memory. It was like selected which will be put inside the music player. I did sdrescan but it only worked a bit and when I click to trigger to scan, it didn't work. It only read the other some (Not read) in the music player but still not the whole songs. And my 3rd major problem is my battery. I Did SetCPU and POWERMAX and Easy Battery Saver but the result is just the same. It sucks battery life like crazy. Every Music File I play (2-5 mins) It gets 2 PERCENT of the battery EACH. And only after 10 mins after plugging my phone out of my charger, it's 92 percent from 100 which usually have to be in 100 percent only or 99. This problem ruined also my datas inside my phone. All of my files are missing. Even the wifi passwords. Does anyone know the solution of this problems? The screenshot is my battery history. My battery crazy drain started when I went to a session where there aren't any cell signal. And when I got my phone back after the session it's only 56 from 92. And after that, my phone memory suddenly have 0.00B. Not kidding. My phone doesn't even have virus I checked it and all and I am forced to delete 8 apps. And then after that day my phone went to these problems. Changing to a new battery is not a solution. It's still a same result. And that's what I noticed is that the phone itself is the problem. The drain is going out of control.
seems like your SD card is broken? Can you run an integrity test on it?
Have you tried using your phone without the SD card for a day or two just to see how this affects battery life?
Also a Better Battery stats log would help analyse the source of the problem.
this will delete all your data on your phone (not full wipe)
go to settings>storage>scroll and when you see format sd card click it
Before you do this transport your foto's and important stuff on your pc or cloud storage.
and if this doesn't work try to format your external sdcard on your pc to fat32 i belief good luck!
---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
and for your battery do this:
while your phone is on charge it to 100%
and then go to recover mode and use clockworkmode or other recover mode's with wipe battery state avalible
and power off your phone and charge it to 100% and if it is 100% let it charge for 5 min
now pull your battery out and let your phone rest for 1 hour, and after a hour battery in phone on and hope that it work
I had some unusial battery drain (not so bad as yours) but it helped! good luck one again!
Try formatting you SD card in Fat32 mode via Windows
I got the same problem a years back with my SD card too.
When ever it's in my phone, it will keep in the restart loop, or restart normally then just shutdown itself until i had to remove the battery to on it again, or just shutdown randomly until i need to remove the battery to re-on it.
It even make my song or picture in the card unreadable or read in partial (song with annoying chirping sound, picture with annoying block/mosaic)...
Things get all good, when i just remove the SD card and use the phone without SD card.
I use a Kingmax 16G class 10, even format it into FAT32, scan the card (no bad sector at all)
So i contacted the manufacturer and stated my problem facing, they have no solution but change a new card.
Once the new card is put in, all the problem gone. i was wondering....
May be you can try change your SD card (if you have extra piece) to try it out.
Also I heard try not to use anything higher than class 4, but what makes it true, i'm still looking for the fact.
