As I see, you use original radio ROM (x.xx.51.xx) - if you flashed some custom ROM, look at the corresponding thread for recommended Radios - it can be the cause of your problem
Problem solved
Thanks samsamuel.
The pins were bent.
Problem solved.
I would never have thought of the battery pins, but sure enough, that was the cause of my boot problem. Thank you so much

Not something ive seen on any other phone, (well, only once or twice) but with the hd2 ive seen threads where it has turned out to be the cause of reboot loop at least , oh, i dunno, 50, 100 times this past 6 months.
My theory is its because the connection plates on the battery are inset, and as you lift the battery using the tab, it tends to twist, which makes the pins catch on the plastic casing of the battery.
Plus ive seen people (with other phones) slap the phone into their palm to pop the battery out, im pretty sure that would NOT go down well on a HD2!

Hi all !
Yes my hd2 freezes a LOT when it gets very hot while charging and also when i start it sometimes it vibrates 6 times and freezes without loading the system so if ther' any solution for that ? i installed the last GTX rom and also i did test the latest stock T-mobile rom with the radio 2.14.50.04 nothing changes it's freezing a lot.
Thanks in advance.
two possibilities:
1. one of you battery connectors might be bent (I've seen few threads on this issue here on xda)
2. faulty mainboard (been there) - if you Leo is under warranty, restore it to stock settings and send for repair
in the meantime you might consider using Battclock for battery temperature monitoring, once it gets to "freeze zone" switch your Leo off for a while or - if desperate enough - put it in the refrigirator (5 minutes should be sufficient)

Thanks for your reply, i think the problem is coming from the copper pins as you said ( or connectors as you've said ), when i touch them the phone boots good, but it doesn't fix it i must always touch them and wait that the phones boots so, how can i fix thoses pins once and for all ?
Some users here reported freezings due to a bad Radio and ROM combination. Maybe you should downgrade to a different Radio and choose another (stock?) ROM?!

you could try to delicately straitghten the pins - I saw a thread on this somewhere here (here meaning xda/HD2 forum)
UP !
I still have those overheat issues i did verify the poins they are ok i did take it to a guy how fixes phones he told me he don't know ( i dont have a warranty ), if there any other solutions PLEASe help me...
Thanks in advance
We've had issues similar with the work HD2and it was resolved by replacing the battery.
How or why this came about was beyond me, but it must have been due to some of the idiots we employ playing about and not showing due care with the phone, so try a different battery, they are cheap enough

Ok i'll buy a new one and i'll try
between i saw a strange thing on the battery ( the battery is deformed at the top a small part ), the battery costs here more than 20$ so it's not that cheap here, but i'll buy it i hope it will fix the problem.
But tell me after buying your new battery the problem is fixed for good? no more overheating?
Thank you man for your anwser.
UP !
I did buy a new battyr today, no chan ges the problem is always the same....
so i very very sad after my last try, i must say now my hd2 is dead and with no warranty i can say Fu*k lol.
Thanks everyone for your help and i will never buy htc phones !
What actually happen? I would keep trying and if it won't turn on anymore. I would still try to claim warranty by htc. Maybe they are not gonna repare it to difficult. So they can't check for hspl. And then they maybe send you a new phone. As far as I know it doesn't cost your anything when they detect hspl. They just don't repair it.

hmm i don't think is my router problem as my other devices can connect to wifi. It is not a connection issue.The problem is that i cannot even turn on the wifi on my S2. it keep saying "Turning Wi-Fi on"
Wi-fi KO
Hi, im experiencing exactly the same issue. I was using RR for some time. Version 3.0.9 for the last couple of weeks and had no problem. Yesterday picked up the phone and tried to turn on wifi and the slider was kinda greyed out. Since then tried everything. Flash different kernels, whole ROMs, old, new, no difference. Whipes, restarts, leave the battery out for some time. Nothing. Tried to find answer, but also no luck. I am worried, that it is hardware. Can anyone bring some light to this issue? Thanks.
Edit: Problem found. Took the phone apart and to my surprise - the small button battery leaked and the acid f..up one resistor and its surundigs, that is responsible for wifi. So now i will try to repair it. Have resistors, but dont have enough patience..... I will share results as soon as i have them.

Wow. so it a hardware problem? Hmmm hope to hear from you soon!
So finally problem fixed. Solder-out the BAT500 which was ruined anyway a took with it the resistors. Change resistor R205 and replaced it with another one from a old PC motherboard. Couldnt find one exactly the same size, but found two aproximatelly twice the size with the right specs. The soldering was the tricky part. Fist tried it just with magnifying glass, but that was not enough. So I ask a friend for help and got a microscope. Since then the job was much easier. But still took a lot of patience. Taking the parts out was pretty easy. After that I cleaned the rest of the acid and saw the real damage done by it. Battery BAT500 leaked out pretty bad and took with resistor R205, which was completely dissolved. One connecting pin was quite OK, but the other ano was gone as well. So I cleaned out everything. Took the new resistor and tried to solder it in place. In the process I screwed-up and burnd it. Good thing I had 2 The other one was little bigger and wouldnt fit in the original place. So I solder one end to the existing connection point and the other side directly to pin on the wifi chip with the use of a very thin wire from headphone cable. Not the cleanest job ive ever done, but its working. Checked for shorts, measured the impendaces and tried it.
Im very pleased, that its working. Sofar I couldnt find replacement for BAT500, so just left it without it. Not a biggie.
It took me about 2 hours of work (with many mistakes and resistors jumping all around the table ) But finally done. Hope it stays that way for a long time.
Wifi is working like a charm and to my supprise, I think that the phone is not heating up as much as before. But if Samsung would have put better quality battery inside, this would never happend. But I guess thats on purpose, because than nobody would have to buy a new things Right? Every piece of technology nowdays have some king of component that have only one purpose - to ..... things up !!!

Hi,
Can you please help me specs of the resistor, I mean R205 is of how many ohms ?
Thanks
You need the Samsung I9100 service manual, which has been posted here before. It has full parts lists & 'tutorials' of most of the common fixes their techs do. Try a Google or XDA search (You're could wait a long time for a reply from the person whose post you're responding to given they made it 9 months ago).

I just fixed today my galaxy S2 I9100. It had the same issue BAT500 leaking acid. (wifi not working)
Since you ask for R205 value. I'm sorry didn’t saw your post earlier. But maybe you can measure it's value from R204, R206, R207 since in your own screenshot it seems they all have the same value.
Some people are using 20kohm smd resistor.
I'm also interested in replacing BAT500. I measured 1.2V in open circuit and 1.0V in closed circuit, with positive towards mainboard.
I will try to find a replacement battery.

Hi
My SGS2 is misbehaving badly. These symptoms occur simultaneously several times a day. I do not know what triggers them or how to prevent them. Your help would be greatly appreciated:
1. Screen goes black.
2. Device becomes unresponsive. The only thing I can do is press the power button for ~10 seconds to reboot.
3. The phone becomes very warm to the touch.
4. The battery drains at an incredible speed.
Might be helpful to know:
Device is rooted, naturally.
Once I've rebooted the phone and I go to Settings > Battery the graph there is showing a black gap followed by a drastic drop in battery level. (See attached diagram and screenshot)
I've noticed that this never happens when the device is plugged in to the charger.
I've recently upgraded to Android 4.1.2 (baseband ver I9100XXLS8) which is the official Samsung ROM after previously running on the Samsung beta version of the same ROM.
Thanks in advance!

Either the battery is faulty or this is some hardware failure. Check if this persists if another battery is inserted.
Also - did the phone get wet recently?

Thank you for the quick response. What you're saying makes some sense to me as I've experienced something odd with the battery a couple of weeks ago. I.e. the battery went completely dead and would not charge, then recovered after a day or two. It did not, however, get wet AFAIK
Might I ask - In buying a new battery, should I insist on an original Samsung make or are non-branded alternatives safe to use?
Kind Regards,

Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to view my thread.
Recently I've had a problem where my phone will get really hot around the camera area just from doing simple tasks like texting and then it will instantly shut off without warning. If I turn it back on, the battery indicator drops from 100% to around 5% and it will turn off again in about 10 seconds. I'm running the latest CM stable build and I've never had any issue with it before, this is just something that has started in the past couple of weeks.
I tried changing batteries as I thought that might be the issue, but when I place my other battery inside the phone to charge it the screen just keeps turning on and going to the grey battery and flicking off. Tried leaving it for a couple of hours like that but no luck. The battery that currently works feels like it's swollen slightly on one side (if that makes sense?) and so I don't really want to continue using it.
If I've been at all vague or you need any more information, tell me what and I'll try my best to get it
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
Your symptoms all point to a bad battery. If the battery swells then it is in a bad conditions. If you can spin thr battery on a flat table then it is not good.
A good battery has flat surface snd therefore u cannot spin it for more than half a round.But a swell battery in your case will spin for a few rounds.
Change a new battery to resolve your problem.
Best Regards

Do not use any battery that doesn't look normal or is damaged. Old or damaged battery's can even explode/burn sometimes. I have also been having this same issue but, I know my battery is fine because without a micro SD card the phone stays cool and the battery lasts forever but with a micro SD card the battery drops rapidly in charge just like you get from 100% to 5% in a short time period and also gets very hot around the camera area. So if you have a micro SD card in it take it out, at least it works for me:victory:. I've read that this is because the phone is constantly scanning the card (some glitch or bad connection) but i'm not sure. Tell me if this works and give me a "Thanks" if it does!
Can you try with a different kernel and see what happens?

Install Better Battery Stats and look at the process(es) that are not working properly and are overheating the phone, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the app if it's not a system app, or just flash your rom again to overwrite possibly corrupted system files.

no need of returning phone...i guess its one of many issues discussed over this forum..
1. It can happen because of a Kernel that u have installed that is not going with ur ROM.
2. It could be due to some app that is sucking up your battery and intun causing heating in ur processor..i mean some game..weather widget..Etc..
I would suggest that u can browse thru this forum for the solutions that fit u best..
i think its a kernel or App problem 4 sure..:fingers-crossed:
I am having S2 with ASNET MIUI V5 now and b4 tried several ROMS..When ever this heating stuff happened it was temporary only..
Hope it helps u in some way.

The first part of this really comforted me - returning my phone would have been a nightmare! It actually wasn't down to a specific app or kernel I think, in the end I just replaced the battery and it's working fine again
Big thanks to anyone who has helped and if anyone is experiencing the same issues as I am, read through the thread and try the solutions given
Hey Guys,
Recently my V30 has had a blinking arrow inside the battery icon. I've searched the internet and can't find any info on it. Can anyone give me some insight? The phone is only a few months old and hasn't been in the water.

I have the same issue. It's causing a huge battery drain! Were you able to resolve the issue?
Yeah, Turns out it means there's battery drain due to moisture in the charging port. I used isopropyl alcohol to clean the charging port and it eventually went away. You may have some debris in there. Was really difficult to figure out what that arrow meant. Wish there was better documentation.

Are you the same person who suggested this solution on Reddit or you read it on reddit and then tried it?
I think it's because the charger you used is giving too much current to your phone. You can fix this by connecting your phone to something that has low current like laptop or computer usb port and then wait for a while so that your phone can adjust
Ok so idk if I'm the first or probably the last one to encounter this issue but I'll be honest here. My device is LG G8X DUAL SCREEN. In the past week or so, I noticed that my phone randomly stopped charging whilst being plugged in. I thought that it could be some dirt clogged into the post so I cleaned it with a Q tip and some surface cleaner. Didn't seem to work. I let it be and felt it would go away eventually. Or so didn't I felt. I tried resetting the device (factory reset) and that didn't seem to budge the constant blinking of a right arrow inside the battery icon. Around here, I saw someone suggesting IPA and felt I should really give it a try. About 30 minutes before I tried that method and since then there hasn't been the issues so far. I'll keep y'all posted and will ping if issue persits. Hope this helps those in need

Update:
The issue still persists, can't find a way to stop it. Only possible solution is to replace the charging port

Yeah I had to get the usb port replaced on my V30 due to this issue. That fixed it.
hmm
I solved my blinking arrow problem, with a new USB C cable, try that aswell.
