Apologies if this has been asked already but I've searched for a good while.
Have a Samsung Galaxy S II for the past week. Once or twice while I was watching videos it would start to vibrate (while in silent mode) and I could only stop the vibrating by pressing the Home key. There were no incoming calls or messages that I could see.
The battery died 2 days ago after running down to 0% and since then the phone has been beeping more or less constantly when not on the charger. If it's on silent it will vibrate, if not on silent it will just beep away. Pressing the home key stops it but it starts up again a few minutes later. The battery indicator in the top right appears to be flashing with the little power icon as though it's a battery notification but there is no actual notification and there's nothing to say - battery level is about 95% or so when this starts I'd guess.
I've done 2 factory resets which haven't solved the problem and I installed a couple of custom battery apps to see if they'd take over the battery notification (assuming that's the problem) but that hasn't done anything. I also noticed that I can't seem to power the phone off anymore. If I turn it off, it just turns back on and waits at the phone unlock screen for me to enter my PIN.
Anyone experienced this before or know what might be causing it?

Hi,
I hope all of you are in Stock Kernel now.
Is it rooted?
If yes then please Go to CWM Recovery Mode and Go to Advanced and WIPR Dalvik Cache as well as Battery Stats...
Once this is done .. Reboot and check whether the problem is solved if not Try and use Stock ROM Battery Mod ..

Every time I answer a call or push the send button to start a call, the screen goes blank, all external buttons do not work, and the 4 soft button are not functioning. I have to wait for the other person to hang up to end the call, and even then none of the screen or button functionality returns. I have to remove the battery and reboot the phone every time. Anybody seen this or experiencing this?
Running CM 7.0.2 Stock (no OC kernel, no GPS patch)
Edit: I found that plugging in the usb cable resets the screen and brings it back to normal. there has to be a setting or tweak thats causing this
I have 2.2 stock OS, been working fine for long time, but last weekend I dropped the phone. Since then (I have powered off/on and taken battery out a couple times but no difference), the phone no longer recieves phone calls -- no ring or missed call notification; callers get sent to voicemail after 1-2 rings, and the voicemail notification does show up immediately.
2 other symptoms are that the lock screen no longer displays (phone goes straight to home screen when I press the power button), and pressing the power button for a second only shows me the Power Off option (previously it had options for Airplane mode and Data Off as well).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Shaun
That's weird. I'd flash a different ROM and see if it works then. I have no idea why it would power up and skip the lock screen.
For the phones calls I'd think may e it messed up the SIM reader. Maybe its fitting in there funny now, or maybe its broken altogether. Maybe a fresh install of something would alleviate some symptoms and give us a clue as to what really is going on.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
So a week ago, I double tap my phone to turn it on and it doesn't. I try twice and nothing. I pressed on the power button and the screen did turn on, but since then, it's gotten so bad that neither the double tap nor the power buttons work. Sometimes, I use the camera shortcut to turn on the camera and Then go to the home screen. This worked for about a day, but then that isn't happening either. Now I find myself plugging it into the power supply to turn the screen and even taking out the battery and putting it back in. Since about a day ago, the screen won't turn on even if i get calls(any kind of call). When i'm on a call, the proximity sensor does it's job the beginning of the call, but When i want to end the call, it doesn't work and i have twist it or turn it on some other way. My phone discharged alarmingly fast, and i think it's because i had to leave the phone at very low charge levels. Also, i have a lot of apps, and all the ones that drain a lot have been deleted. So many bugs. No fixes. Please help
Update: I've reset my phone, no difference.
Flash with a stable rom. Or clear all settings do a wipe and reinstall.
My Tab S7 plus is behaving strangely in last few days. When my battery is over I think 25-30%, or when the tablet is connected to a charger, and when I press the power button (or double tap to wake) the screen blinks for a millisecond, it is also happening when you restart or power on the device, the screen blinks twice before the Samsung splash screen appears. But the strange thing is that it does not happen when the battery is below 25-30%, neither when powering or restarting the device or waking the device.
Is anyone else facing the similar problem? I tried to format the data, but the issue is still there. Thnx
Mine does that too, but I was only able to use for about an hour so ,I haven't had time to figure it out yet
Hi, I am facing a strange problem.
If I select the green arrow button restart, the phone used to restart obviously itself, but now it switch off and I have to switch it back on manually by pressing the power button.
At the same time the gauge of the battery has gone crazy, it always come back to 100% at every reboot.
Already tried to factory reset without success.
Has someone already encountered this issue?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Also when switched off and plugged in I only have a grey circle with the bolt inside but without any number or charging meter update.
