Phone is going into seizure mode? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Battery pull, put battery in, phone alternates with full battery icon and this (see attached picture)
Boot phone and it keeps going into Kies mode.
Tried flashing stock kernel / rom but problems persist. Anyone have this issue? Any ideas of the cause?

Maybe try a factory reset that may work?

Well that's the sign for the battery is overheating?
New Battery?

Battery seems fine, not even warm, holding a charge just fine...

Leave the battery out of the phone for 30 minutes and try again. I am assuming that the phone is not plugged into the charger?

Battery calibration - Or battery problem

Having an issue with ROMs where I take my phone off the charger and within a few minutes im down to 93% battery. 100-93 in several minutes is quite bad...
Ive tried to calibrate the battery by running it down then charging it backup etc, but it just keeps persisting. Anyone know how to fix this? Erasing battery stats did nothing also...

have you tried power off the phone after it is full charged and bump charging it?

Ya but my phone turns on into CMW recovery each time i plug it in when its off.
You should charge up to 100% and leave it trickle charging for about an hour.. then reboot into recovery and reset the battery stats in Clockwork Recovery.
If you're staying stock, I don't have any other options.

[Q] S2 Thinks its fully charged when it isn't

I recently dropped my S2 into water for a few seconds and following a week of drying out I turned it on to find that everything is working fine. The only problem I have is that the phone thinks it is at 100% charge after being plugged in for a few seconds. On the first charge I left it plugged in whilst showing 100% and overnight it managed to charge fully so that the phone worked for a full day.
Today however, it reaches 100% (after a few seconds) and seems to stop charging any further. I can use the phone whilst it is plugged in but as soon as I unplug it shuts down due to no power.
Is there a way to reset the battery stats or fix this? I'm currently running 2.3.4 stock.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Reset battery stats .
As you dont know the basics try Battery Calibration from the market .

That requires root access... is there no way to address this without deviating from official firmware?
Try pull out the battery and put it in the hot water cupboard overnight (or blow dry it, but not too hot - it is a battery afterall), then try it again. Could be related to the calibration chip on the battery...
Battery calibration
It has been mentioned in several XDA forums that the SGS2 has a power supervisor chip that manages calibration automatically and doesn't need battery cycling.
You have probably sustained damage to your phone. It wont cost much to try a new battery though but it is a long shot.

John.
I'm guessing it's a hardware fault with the charging circuit. I don't suppose anyone can recommend a good repair shop in the UK?
Hi, I am sorry I am using your thread to post a personal question.
I would recommend you to try a different battery though.
The problem I have is similar, but not the same.
When the phone sounds that it has full charged, I unpluged it and it immeadiately changes from 100% to 99% or 98%. After that it uncharges as normal.
What could be the reason?
I calibrated it with the battery calibrator. Also took out the battery after full charge and plug it back on. With no results.
What could I do?

You could have searched and read all the posts that say this is normal behaviour .

For anyone who's interested, I've managed to fix the problem by doing a full factory reset. To do this I powered up the phone into recovery mode (start whilst holding power, home and volume up) and performed both factory reset and and cleared the cache. Now appears to working fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Battery drain problem

Hi, I've got a quite common problem - battery drain. I'm not such a noob, so I understand the way how the battery drain works (I mean why does it happen). It happened after changing the sim card. My sim card stopped working at some moment, so I decided to change it. After that I noticed that my Droid does not turn on. I plugged it into a charger, it got charged normally to 100%. But the battery is draining now constantly. I Changed rom, I wiped all the data, I did even restore backup from march, when the device was 100% functional.
I'm afraid I can not have a replacement as it is rooted, and a repair is almost impossible (I live in Poland).
Any ideas? Maybe someone had similar issue?
PS I got smthing like 10h of standby. That sucks.
PPS It seems that the battery alone is ok, as the phone is heating (so it means that there is energy stored inside)
Have you tried calibrating the battery?

By what? Charging to full and then discharging to 0%? Yes, I did xD Smthing like 5 times this week
Wipe everything, clean install a rom, download a battery calibrator app from the market and let it charge to a 100% and then let it die to zero
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
As I said before, I already did that
But use the battery calibrator

Battery is calibrated. The problem is not here. The problem is that battery is drained and it seems that there are not many things left that could cause the drain. Please stop posting as I can see that you are not giving any new ideas.
your battery may be just degrading all of a sudden. does it die incredibly fast if you leave your phone in safe mode all day?
Yes, I tried safe mode, without success. It doesn't seem that battery is degrading, as the phone heats up (so the battery must have energy inside)

What temps we talking? Try temp monitor app also of its discharging improperly it will heat up. Get a app like gsam and have it record what rate it's discharging at, sounds like a bad bat though to be honest. EDIT just noticed your rooted. And that you don't want to replace because of jag options. I suggest of your up to it to open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while. Couldn't hurt.

Talking about the opening of the phone, this is someting that I want to avoid. I can do that, after nothing works. Any ideas what could happen?
I've noticed it's happened to me but closing out processes and hard rebooting the phone seems to have cleared that.
Quick Note:
go to settings, battery, and uncheck Fast boot, then shutdown and turn back on. Let me know how that goes.

nope. No effect
1. What rom, kernel, recovery, and radio are you using?
2. I understand you charged to 100 and then let drain to zero, but did you reset your battery stats in recovery?
3. Do you have GSam installed?
1. Tried Supercharged, stock dna, hatka supreme (or something like that),
recovery: CWM
kernels: Blackout, crampler
Radio: the new one xD (The one that came with v2.04)
2. I charged to 100 and drained. During that I changed roms, did factory reset etc.
3. Nope, I've used (and still use) wakelock detector. The GSam seems to provide less data.
After all these weeks the problem is still present. I hope someone can help.
A Suggestuions:
Try an older microusb lead and slow charge from a usb 2 port, sometimes a battery has trouble with a charge sticking - try slow things down and slow charge the phone see if that helps.
I tried even the netbook usb port (350mah), still no luck.

but did you try it when the phone was at 0% and make sure your not using the fast ports, also try slowing it down further if you have any dvd players etc they will only push out around 100 to 200 mah may be worth trying.
Bar that i think the battery is naffed, i would say underclock but if you have tried safe mode its safe to assume itts not going to help..
The only other thing i have heard of but never tried is to keep drain the phone completely and then charge constanly by mains for 2-3 days. if you have tried everything else may be worth a shot.
What app or apps are draining the battery and how much time does it take?
There are no apps draining. The most impact (htc battery app) has got phone idle and wifi. After turning off wifi nothing happens, taking out the sim or turning on airplane mode does not help either

[Q] Acer Liquid Z500 battery issue.

Hey everyone. I'm having an issue with the battery stats of my Acer Liquid Z500.
When I charge my phone, sometimes the battery stat freezes at some point, 35%, 28%, 45% for example, for some time. When the phone feels like it's discharging, the battery stats come down really fast, like 1% per 15 seconds, until it's off.
I've tried booting into recovery mode and checking if there's any option to wipe battery stats, but there's not.
I've tried factory resetting the phone but it doesn't work.
I was wondering if you guys could enlighten me about this issue. It's getting really annoying.

Had the same problem once on a different phone. What I did to solve this was quite simple: after battery percentage has frozen, I shut off my phone completely, so it can charge without interference. So just wait until the phone has charged completely. Another option would be to perform a simple reboot after the freeze.
If this doesn't work, maybe you have to re-adjust your battery by charging it to 100% and then let it discharge to 0% and then do a full charge afterwards.

Thank you so much! I'll try that.

Incorrect battery percentage

Ever since I got this device I've had issues with it being unable to correctly detect the battery level. Very often the phone discharges completely and shuts down, and upon a restart it shows 20% battery left.
I've tried calibrating the battery, but I'm either doing it wrong or it's not working... What else can be done to fix this discrepancy?

From my experience, if you use ROM based on Android 6.0 this can happen and in this case you must recalibrate the battery by draining it completely by few restarts and then charging it to 100% and leaving it on charger for 1h more. If you use 5.x Android this behavior is a sign of a battery loosing it's capacity. In which case you need new battery.

Try to use slow charging couple times, I mean 500ma charger or charge via pc slot.
