[Q] Off-charging problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I've got this problem since few days now. The issue is that when i try to plug in the charger while my phone is off, it will start-up and start charging then. It could be charged while off before on the same rom I've used. I was using Galnet's MIUI. I thought that it might be a bug or something so i did install the version from miuiandroid.com and unfortunately the problem still exists. I've wiped data, cache and dalvik before installing the new one ofcourse. Any tips?
Thank you!

OK, thanks for clearing up. Well, I still cannot find any solution to fix the off-charging. I would really appreciate any tips for fixing it up. Thank you!

MIUI and CM7 is build that way. It's not a bug. The devs don't think phone should be off while charging...

Hey droidphile! Thank you for your answer. I have searched alot on the internet about off-charging. seems like many people have it like this. It is only strange that one day it was off-charging and next time it couldn't on the exactly same rom. Well .. I can live with it if it's a normal behaviour. Thanks

ICS problem

Hi, forgive for not reading the forum before posting it, simply it's too many threads, I read the first few pages and didn't see what I am looking for, thus I posted here.
Recently I updated to ics from 2.3.6 via kies. Then I rooted my phone via cf root method.
The first night I left my phone with 90+% battery and it went flat after 8 hours of sleep. last night I left 60+% battery and six hours later it went flat again.
Another problem is when I using the phone and turn it to sleep, sometimes the phone cannot be turn back on again. I have to long press power button a few times then the phone will start up like it has been shutdown just now, but I didn't shut it down. And I didn't see and shutdown animation.
Anyone facing similar problem or have a solution to this?
Do I have to do clean wipe and reinstall the firmware again?
Any sort of help will.be greatly appreciated. Thank you! I am desperately need to fix this...

Hi mate, If you were unable to overcome the problems,i would suggest you to flash wanamlite's rom.I only have good things to say about his work, he makes sure that everything will be "simple" and battery-friendly, you have 2 options stock theme&ics theme.you will not be disappointed. good luck

should have wiped after using dial code.
Stay away from lp9 rom. Or use one from Singapore the dxlp9. Better to use UK lp7.
All that using Odin and stock roms.

But I am updating using stock ROM. Just that the kernel I used to root is not dxlp9, it's lp9 but from cf post.
Don't know if it matters. Also the icons are all white color, look a lot like miui icon. Is it normal?

[Q] Aria has started crashing spontaneously...Help!

Okay, so I've been running CyanogenMod7 RC1 on my aria for about a year now, not checking in for newer roms, cause everything has always run very smoothly.
And, I've used ADW Launcher Ex as my home. Never have had any major problems.
But! Just recently my Aria has started crashing several times a day. Sometimes as soon as 20 seconds after booting back up from the crash.
I have no idea what in the world brought this on, and have tried everything I can think of. So far, I have cleared dalvik, cleared data, restored my rom after backing up, did a complete wipe and flashed CM9.. Still encountered the problem, but was thinking it may have been because it was unstable. so I did another wipe, flashed CM 7.2, and was still running into same problem.
(Then, additionally, the received dates of messages started getting fudged, so I flashed back to my CM7 RC1.)
It just keeps crashing... Even when I'm not using it. It's sitting on the charger right beside me, and has crashed and rebooted 4 times since I've started typing this.
...I have.. No clue.. =[! Any ideas??
Have you been able to observe the amount of free RAM, and the Temp of the unit?
Also, does this occur after a clean install, or only after you have reloaded all your apps?
Same thing started happening to me. I even unrooted, restored to stock rom and returned to HTC, and they are now on their 3rd attempt to try and fix it. Read the "random reboot" thread under questions. There has to be a solution to this!

I checked the ram usage last in between crashes, and it was floating around 80mb-100mb. And, as far as I know, temperature wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Battery temp around 90 degrees. ..there have been times it was wayyy hotter but it wouldn't crash..
..Could it be an application that after updating is making the system crash? read a few things online where people were saying that was possible? ..if it is, I don't know how to diagnose which application is the cause.. =[

Dang! 3rd time? That's ridiculous! I just read through some and somebody had said that it's a hardware problem in the aria..??
So I cleared dalvik cache, and that seemed to make it last a little longer than normal before crashing.. lasted about an hour. ..This is boggling my mind

Lol, your messing with the CPU with SetCPU, and you posted an issue about a bootloop, are you serious?
use the search function, wipe your phone completely, and dont mess with the CPU voltages.
Questions go in the question and answer section. When u provide a bug report or ask for assistance u have to provide more details than this. Unless it's a known bug, u should tell whoever yer asking for help what kernel u were running, if u had flashed any scripts or anything that may have led to the issue, if u did a full wipe before flashing, if u undervolted or underclocked, and if u had set your values to start up automatically on boot. As much information as u can give will help whoever is looking at your post diagnose what may have gone wrong.
Some more info will help us to help u.

Thank you for not being a total jackass like a lot of people I was running setcpu at 1600-200 mhz, governer conservativ, I/o noop, no other changes I flashed from ultimatum 2.0 rc1- to ultimatum 2.1 using cwm no other objects flashed. As soon as it booted and said setcpu has been granted su access it restarted loop the finally black screened and I had to go to download mode and reflash stock root. If any other info has been left out just ask I work all night and I want to get into programming. I do plc programming on robotic equipment at my job and its fairly similar just more portable and if someone will move this to Q&A that would be great

Ive never understood why people use setcpu... just curious try setting tthe same settings with voltage control... see what happens... if u get bootloops maybe your chip doesnt like oc/uv..
im on my phone. expect terrible typos.

+1 I ran it back in the day, it worked with GB roms ok but I started having issues with reboots and read that set CPU is known for causing some issues
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have already switched to voltage control and it gives better battery, much more stability, no boot problems, and so much more pros vs very little cons (only thing I have found is no stress test for CPU and your settings) and thanks for the reply I can now post future problems on your developer thread

[Q] Need help to find the reason of drastic battery life reduction

Hello guys,
I'm quite new here and to Android and that's probably what's causing my difficulty of finding a solution for my problem, so I'm hoping you guys can help me.
So all started a few months ago, when my brother decided to give me his 2 year S2, I was quite satisfied because it's in great condition. After a few months of using it I decided to go on and try some roms dor the sake of my boredom of Samsung's rom and for my will to discover. The rom I tried was Slimkat, it worked pretty good and it's awesome to customize but it was killing ny battery in 8 hours with medium to low use, it was kinda crazy... So I decided to roll back and restore the stock rom, I was successful and it's the one I still have at the moment, but the battery problem remains... I've tried two different batteries and it's always the same and I've run out of solutions that I know.
tl;dr - my battery was fine before I started to play around with roms and after I restored the stock rom the problem remained. The battery itself isn't the problem because I've tried two others.
So I hope you can help me, if you need any other information, I'll be glad to add it.
Regards and thanks in advance
BetterBatteryStats; find the thread devoted to it on here & install it (or get it from Google Play), let it run for a day/whatever, and post the BBS logs to the BBS thread - people who post their regularly should be able to help you track down what's causing drain. You could post them to this thread, but with such little traffic in Q&A these days, you could be waiting a fair while for meaningful help (I.E help that's actually useful Vs people who don't know what they're talking about).
