Hi,
My phone took a quick swim, so I pulled it out of the bath took the battery out as quick as I could. I then took the phone apart to help the drying process.....all good
Let it dry for two days and put it back together......Now the problem
Basically the phone boots up but says the battery is empty and I get the critical batt level message and after 20 seconds it shuts down...during the 20 or so seconds the phone works normally. When I pull in my charger (with the phone off) I get the 100% battery icon but am unable to turn the phone on. If I plug the charger in as the phone is booting, I get the charging icon in the top right......but it still shuts itself down.
When it shuts down it is with the Galaxy sII splash screen....not a straight shut down like it has absolutely no power
To me this looks like a software problem - but was wondering if any of you guys could help
Thanks in advance

Try with another battery?
.....forgot to add that I have tested the battery in another phone and all is ok - and have tried a known working battery in my phone......same with either battery so I can rule that out

Now when I plug it into the charger, it just goes to the Core Cell splash screen, for like a split second then turns off, then does it repeatedly... I donnu, how to charge my phone, I donnu what to do, please help.
Pull the battery, connect power then put battery back in. This should let it start charging without trying to start the phone.

I tried that, but as soon as i put the battery back in, it'll just restart, I fixed the issue last night, I chucked my Battery into the Freezer, for like... more than 8 hours, woke up, and plugged my phone back together, and it charged, without booting up and restart
So all good
This morning, I woke up to find me 3vo plugged in, but the light was off and I couldn't turn the phone off. My first thought was that it died.....while plugged in over night? So I pulled the battery, put it back in, plugged it in, and the red charging light came on, but only half the brightness it normally is. It also wouldn't turn on and the light turned off after a couple of seconds. I then pulled the battery, waited a minute, put it back in, plugged in, and it seemed to be charging like normal. I turned it on but it took a couple of minutes to boot up, much longer than any normal boot up time.
On a separate occasion, I had 60% battery life one afternoon. I checked my phone 15 minutes later and it said the battery was 5% or less and then shut down a couple of seconds after I turned the screen on.
There was nothing to link these two incidents. I'm trying to figure out if it is a problem with software, hardware, or battery. I can't make the problem happen, so its going to be interesting if I need to take it to a sprint store for a replacement/repair. Thanks for any input or ideas.
Phone is stock, no root.
I know I've had to pull my battery for unknown reasons to start it. The only time I ever so the led at half brightness is when the phone is booting without quickboot (battery pull clears memory for a quickboot). It's like putting your computer in sleep mode, your computer sends fast startup information to volatile memory (ram), so it boots off fast RAM instead of slow hard drives.
As for your 60 to 5 in 2.5 (seconds). I'd try wiping your battery stats in recovery. Make sure you have a FULL charge, wipe battery stats, fully drain the battery, the fully charge. Your battery meter should be accurate afterwards...

Running clean rom pro edition, let my battery drain all the way down today. At about 4 percent phone just shut off, was unable to plug in for a few hours, now when i plug in the phone the indicator light does nothing. Unless I pull the battery and put it back. When i hit power after doing that the indicator is orange for about 1.3 seconds and then goes back to off until I pull the battery again. I did drop the phone today but the phone ran fine until that battery ran out...? think its broken? and anyone know where i can get a cheap verizon phone if it is? like a refurb or something?
Even powered off it doesn't charge?

Hello,
Yesterday I damaged the phone with water, after that I removed the black glass panel and tried to dry it with hairdryer. I also put it in a plate with rice and let it drain the water overnight. Today I tried to wake it up:
When I plug in the charger, the phone automatically turns on. It only shows the logo and the battery status, but after that it turns off. If I push the power button, the phone vibrates 3 times and the whole thing repeats - it shows logo, battery status, then it turns off. Battery seems Charged, but it looks like phone cant find it, because If I unplug the charger and try to turn the phone on, it does nothing, like the battery is dead.
Is this issue common to all water damaged phones? Do I need to buy new battery or just wait more days? :/
I also recorded a video about the whole thing, please take a look.

I would try leaving it a couple more days to ensure it is dry then try again. But charge it first before trying again.

Hello everyone!
As title says ,my samsung galaxy II (CM12.1 flashed) doesn't give any signs of life.
Here is the story:
I turned off my phone this morning and plugged in charger.After hour i plugged off charger from my phone and tried to turn it on.As it was turning on it got stuck on samsung logo.Afterwards i went into recovery mode and wiped /cache.Everything was fine.Then i went to "factory reset" where problem occured...while it was deleting /data it got stuck.Few minutes later my phone suddenly turned off.After that moment it just won't turn on.I tried to get into recovery and download mode but phone doesn't react.When i plug in charger it doesn't react neither. Battery was at 50% when i tried to turn it on.
Before this, phone was running fine. But recently it was freezing a lot so i had to take off batery and put it back in.
Im not native english speaker so don't get mad on my "perfect" english
I hope someone will help me diagnose the problem
Thank you
Goodmorning.
....the same here..... sadly.
This is what I know regarding that unable to turn phone back on problem, perhaps can solve yours.
We know the S2 i9100 (and maybe the other variants too) has "problem" with battery levels. In my case, it won't surprise when I got (for example) 48% then drops drastically to 3% after reboot. The problem sometimes also occur when I reboot to system from recovery.
Regarding to your problem, try to recharge your S2 until 100% (in this case, phone is off completely), unplug the charger, then turn it on by holding the power button.
If the phone still won't turned on, try this tips as it always working for me. Plug the charger and try to turn the phone on (holding the power button). If the phone just go back to battery indicator screen (sometimes the screen will blinking once), here the problem.
From here, you need to see what kind of battery indicator image shown on the screen. If the image is a battery indicator with round progress inside it (and doesn't change no matter how long you expect to it), you need to press and hold the power button to restart. Repeat this until you got the image with battery indicator with ACTUAL battery level and bar shown. When you see this, unplug your charger, wait until the screen is completely off, then holding the power button to turn on the phone. In my case, this is always work.
If for some reason you never get the correct battery indicator screen after many tries, try to remove the battery off, wait for at least 15 seconds, put it back on, then try the procedure again.
Hope that help.
