[Q] help? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My other half has a galaxy s 2 and tonight it ran out of battery, I've stuck it on charge but its not registering that its charging. She hasn't dropped it or got it wet, its just decided it don't want to work, but my main concern is the pictures I want saved, can I retrieve them some how or even save the phone?

Have you checked more than one charger to see if it is not the phone? Battery might also be in need of replacement.I don't think the phone will do anything if the battery is dead.
That would be the first two things I would check.

Seriously... Please use a descriptive title when posting. You'll get more help that way and ppl who don't know the answer won't need to read the post.

Does your computer recognize the device? Do you see QHSUSB_DLOAD? If so, its possibly equipment failure

You might need to contact HTC.
Hopefully you didn't unlock your boot loader because that voids your warranty. If you did you would know you did its not something you do un-ententionaly. As for auto rotate it could be you accidentally turned it off on quick settings idk if thats on stock but it is on mine but i have a custom rom. As for your phone not turning on try it being plugged into the wall it never hurts to try it has happened to me before if not I would suggest skipping T-Mo and going directly to HTC for advice as they know their phones the best. In addition if they only have a sending it in solution then I would contact T-Mo and tell them your issue. Then you could most likely take it into a store and get a replacement no problem as it seems your phone is pretty new. The phone is pretty new not as new but it never rules out the possibility for a bug as even older well profound technology still has bugs that can cause a major system crash. Happens to me a lot when flying aircraft. Hope this helps.

thank you sir , thats what I was thinking, A Bug .. or glitch
I even Try charging the battery in a dock or craddle and Didnt work..
And thats really weird, I bought the phone for christmas ,I had 4 or 5 apps installed, this phone is unlock cause I use a different carrier
Before taking off the battery, my charge was 90%
What I did exactly is, pull out the battery, went to sleep, wake up, placed the battery again......Dead
About rotation i know about settings and was not that..

HTC Flyer Battery needed

Long sad sad story short:
Bricked my Flyer to the point where it didn't boot up, had wrong radio roms and in the end, the battery died.. now it just blinks orange..
HTC Repairs said that the motherboard needs to be replaced, which I find very hard to believe, since it worked just "FINE" before the battery died
In my search for a Battery for the device I only came by chinese bulk sale pages, 100pcs minimum order.
Would be very grateful if anyone can point me to a page or person who can spare a full Flyer/Evo battery, or better yet, who knows how to manually charge the battery, if possible, using a power generator..
(And yes, I did a search on the forums but no clear lines of help in my question)

[Q] My Galaxy Note is Siiiiccckkkk

Please... someone help me as I have bought this phone without a warranty and likewise have no insurance.. and I JUST bought the phone maybe a month ago!!!!/B]
My phone won't keep a charge, it charges only to a certain point while on the charger (that is any charger, inc. the one that came with the phone), but will die within about 15-20 mins after taking it off of the charger, and if I use it while on the charger it will drain the battery the same way as if it was off of the charger, and die within 10-15 mins! Likewise, it started doing this funky vibrating stuff just an hour ago and will not boot up while on the charger at all anymore! I did a little research and found different opinions.. the most relevant being a need to replace the charger port and the other to change the battery. This is crazy as my phone as well as the accompanying accessories such as the battery and the charger were bought brand spanking new and SHOULD NOT be going crazy like this!

I take it the phone is 100% stock; not rooted or no custom ROM? And you say that it is new and you did nothing to cause this? You didn't get it wet?
Try a factory restore. If that doesn't help then I would try a new battery.
Sounds like a failed battery to me.
A trip to your phone carrier store would be easy enough. I think they would at least try another battery for quick diagnosis.

No, I did no cause the issue nor did I get my phone wet. It simply started doing what I described in my initial post.. I noticed it when I plugged my phone in and it has been an ongoing situation for about 4-5 days now.
Thank you for the response and suggestion

Thank you very much for the quick response. I figured that the battery was the issue. I had a Samsung Galaxy 3 prior to purchasing the Note and it had the exact same issue,.. well not the same exact symptoms, but the need for a new battery due to not taking a charge, and I hadn't had that particular phone more than 6 months! Perhaps it is a Samsung manufacturing issue with faulty batteries, similar to car manufacturers who have massive recalls on their vehicles due to faulty engine or other car parts. My physician told me that I needed to switch to an IPhone, lol... better quality I assume. Perhaps he is right.. ???

Oh.. I forgot, yes the phone is 100% stock as you assumed. Terrible that it is doing what it is doing! Guess I need to get that battery then... ho hum.. more moola out of my darn pockets!
Your carrier (AT&T, T-Mobil, etc) store would at least put in a known good battery to see if that is all it is. And if so, then a new the cost of a new battery is next.
And as far as the iPhone......been down that road, and I could never go back to the iPhone. It was good for it's purpose and reliable. But NO more reliable than any Android phone I've owned. (3 of them).
And should the battery die in the iPhone, you will need to take it or send it back to an iPhone repair center. You don't just pull the back of it off, and replace the battery. At least in my 2 - iPhone 3G versions anyway.
And then there is rooting...cant hack an iPhone. You can jail break them, but that is not the same thing, and you still have no control over the OS.
JMO on the apple stuff.. Good, but VERY limited.
Keep your Note, it's better IMO, and has a huge screen.

[Q] magnet may have damaged phone?

Not sure if this is the right forum or page for this thread but here goes. I have an Android phone that has worked flawlessly for me. A couple of weekends ago I went out to eat with some friends and forgot my phone at home. When I got home I found my phone sitting on top of my shop vac where I left it. I noticed that the battery indicator showed the phone almost dead which was odd. I put it on the charger over night as I always do. The next day I noticed the phone losing about 10% battery every hour. I assume the magnet in the motor on the shop vac has done something to my phone. I tried 2 other batteries and got the same result. I reset the phone and also forced a reflash and still the same problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this??????
Just to be clear, the phone can usually go 2 days before it would go totally dead and literally changed that day.
anyone? Is there a way to reverse the damage or repair?

i have read the whole post and just suggest you to check your battery status
by the way this can be occurs due to faulty battery connect pin in mobile(actually i don't know what its called)
i think its hardware issue
megnet can only affect your memory devices

OK well I would get in touch with Oneplus asap. Only other thing I can think of is onetime I had pocket lint stuck in the port maybe get a toothpick and make sure it's unobstructed. Best of luck mate

thanks,
I am waiting for the support chat to wake up.
just thinking that maybe others had the problem as well and found a solution.
Had that thought with the dirt as well. Found quite some dust in there but sadly didnt fix my problem.
Same thing happened with my phone Can't get passed "Low Battery... the battery is too
cant even get into bootloader and tired of seeing Message " Battery is low charge for a while "..
