Hey
Turned off my phone to switch sd cards from my 8 gb kingston to my new 32 gb samsung, but now I cant get the phone to turn on. It turns on the display and looks like it is trying to charge even if there is no cable connected. Furthermore it displays a warning I interpret as a overheating symbol for the battery. It a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark inside and a temperature gauge next to it that reads 80 or so degrees.
I have tried with the old sd card, the new sd card, with charger cable, usb cable from computer. My 2000 mah battery and stock battery. It still wont turn on. Cant get it to download mode either.
Please help
Thanks in advance
Volume up, home button and power, see if you can get into recovery.
I managed to get into recovery and was able to reboot the phone from there. After it had finished it made the sound when connecting the charger alot. Even thogh no cable was connected to it. It has stopped though but i'm quite scarred of turning it of now.
It wont charge now. Doesn't register when the charger or usb cable is plugged in and everytime i turn the phone off and see the overheat symbol it drops a lot of battery power somehow. 25% i one drop and fra around 25 to 6 after that.
Remove your micro SD. Really. Retry just after you pulled it out.

No difference. My 2000 mah samsung battery went dead. Put in the original and it booted right away. Hooked it up to the charger and it began charging but only for like a minute then it stopped again.
Tried resetting the phone from recovery with no difference.
Any other advice or are we talking a new mainboard now?

Hi
I think my phone is a little broke,
It ran out battery last night so i put it on charge this morning.
was on charge by wall for 10 min to get some battery then swapped over to car when i was driving it turned off now when i try and charge it at work via a usb wire and cplug converter i just get the battery logo with the spining circle for a few seconds it flashes then goes off does this about 6 times then the screen just goes off and will not do anything
anyone know any fixes or has it gotta go to samsung ?
Thanks
Have you tried taking out the battery?
Please let us know if it starts working again.
tried that, its like its not getting the power it needs for thats first few seconds as the buttons at the bottom flash on then off again
With the phone OFF. Leave it charging for four hours using the supplied mains charger.
With the phone OFF do you see a picture of the battery showing how much charge you have when you plug the phone into the mains charger? How much charge does it show?
it comes up with the b attery with a circle logo init then turns off then comes back to that over and over again,
i dont have the proper charger on me just the usb wire and a plug to usb
Think getting somewhere, tried a mates battery that works fine, mates charger wont charge on my phone but will my battery in his, so i guess my micro usb port is broke :'(
Appearantly my SGS2 doesn't charge, when I connect it to the wall charger it boots up, shows that the battery is at 0% and shuts down after about a minute. Than it repeats it the process over and over again.
Any ideas?
* Solution: MicroUSB pins were dirty, cleaned and the phone charges.

did you customize your device e.g. flashed a rom/kernel?

Nothing, completely stock.
I am having the same issue. Wont charge, battery icon shows up for about 5 secs than flickers off - then repeats that every minute or so. It also gets really hot. Have tried different chargers, cleaning the contacts etc but nothing works.
It wont enter recovery or download mode either
If you are running pure stock ROM+Kernel then it sounds like a mechanical fault. Try and order a new battery in the first instance and see if that solves it. Otherwise take it back and get it replaced by the manufacturer.
It is common for this to occur when the battery has been drained past its safety net.
Leave it doing that charge loop on and off. It will stop after some time.
This a warning that you need to stop letting your battery go to 0%
Don't be lazy, charge your phone when it needs to be charged.

Just clean your micro USB port on the phone. When it's dirty it makes pins short circuits... You can use an ear swab + alcohol.
I'll need to try cleaning that microSD slot, I bought new battery, phone powers up but now it doesn't charge at all.
I plug it in, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Im not sure how I can clean the microSD slot with simply an ear swap since its such a small thing, but I cleaned it as good as I could, not I shows black screen with yellow triangle and exclamation mark.
I tried the new battery, the phone powers up, shows its charging but still stays at 0% and reboots continuesly..
* EDIT! The triangle vanished and the phone is now charging! Special thanks to radkor! It was just a dirty microUSB slot.
If you can't charge the battery using the usb slot then you could buy a standalone battery charger off ebay... This won't help if there is more problems than just the charging though.... But its fairly cheap and you now have an extra oem battery for a spare...
The phone charges now properly but both the battery go empty in less than 10hrs even though I've got Juice Defender and BatterSave mode on, also it reboots continuesly when I make a call, I think I might have another problem on my hand..
I recently received my fresh NT from the ebay sale, and yesterday had it running CM7, with CWM installed internally. Everything was fine with the world.
Today, I wake up and find it boot looping constantly.
- When plugged into USB, it boot loops constantly. As soon as the N screen disappears, it restarts. I can't even get it to turn off.
- When disconnected from USB, I can't even get it to turn on. Period.
- When disconnected from USB when the N screen is showing, it instantly shuts off.
- 8 Reboot trick doesn't work, booting onto a CWM or stock-flashing SDCard doesn't work, acclaim doesn't work.
Almost sounds like a dead battery, considering the instant shut-off when unplugged, but it can't charge because it's constantly trying to turn on. Any advice?
Leave it on the charger and don't touch it for about half an hour.

Unfortunately, it's degraded to the point that it won't even turn on -- plugged in or not. I'm going to go ahead and pass it off as a hardware failure and see if I can get an exchange.
mine is doing this , i didnt charge it last night , when i woke up it went to cynoboot showed 12 percent batt and now its looping just like what you said yours was , what is the end result ?
i've already taken the back off i have access to the batt connector im thinking about maybe rigging up a trickle charger to that directly also i dont have the BN charge cable im using a micro usb and its worked well so far, i did order a BN cable it should be home by the time i get home though , im guessing i need to find an alternative way to recharge this battery
id like to know if you got an exchange ? or if you still have the tablet ? im going to try a few other things too but if you still have yours and i figure it out ill pm it to you
solution
dude sorry to dump this on you years after wards , crack it open , flip it over to its back flip up the sd card cover take out the torx 5 screws , use a small flat head screw driver pop out the back tabs once its open , disconnect the battery and the other cable up top , i left em disconnected and tapped them with my volt meter , i saw a capp drain flat on the outside red and outside black lines, then after a few minuets reconnect the two cables , plug it into your power and leave it for 2 hours your now at screen of death and just need to charge the battery,
manually forced the device to reset , it keep running in circles and would never charge , just disconnect the batt man ...
mines on and at 20 % batt and charging ...
later
I have the same problem. Would letting it drained completely and recharge work? I don't have the right tiny screw driver for it. :crying:
I think the battery is still good. For me, It's able to get into CWM and install the latest cm-10.2-20130811-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim.zip. Just, when reboot, it goes into the endless booting "N" loop.
Thanks.

Had almost the same problem as you. Bought a Nook Color off eBay. Battery was discharged to 0%. I didn't have the original Nook Color charger cable so I thought I was fscked. I had a few microUSB chargers lying around. I used an old Motorola flip-phone charger to charge it back to life.
Get ANY microUSB charger, like for an old cellphone, or buy one (they're cheap off the streets). Plug it in and let it charge overnight. Do NOT under any circumstances press the power button or you'll have to restart the charging process. The next morning my Nook Color booted up (although it had only 18% charge) and everything was fine (poor seller sold it on eBay for parts, I got it for $28 in total LOL, but I knew it was fine).

I got a Droid Razr from a friend who tried to do a "battery pull" to fix it when it was locked up or something. Her battery pull was exactly that. She ripped it right out tearing the ribbon cable that connects it. She says it worked fine before that, other than the "lock up". So I picked up a new battery from ebay and put it in.
It still didn't start up, initially. The first thing I did was plug the phone into the computer; that gave me the white led. Next, I tried the wall outlet adapter; that got me to the Motorola logo and the battery symbol that showed 5% charged and 100% charged, and nothing else. The phone wouldn't turn on.
After reading as much as I could find today, I found out about the factory programming cable that adds power to pin 4. I made one and then things changed up a little. Now, with the new cable, I can only get the phone to power on when it's connected to a computer and it does nothing when connected to the wall adapter. When connected to the computer, however, the phone boots all the way up but it won't charge. When I disconnect it, it turns off. I've left it connected to the computer or wall outlet in various states of operation (os fully loaded, boot menu, and off) all day.
While the phone is connected to the computer and booted up, when I go to battery stats, it says it's 5% charged and that it's draining.
I also decided to try connecting negative and positive leads directly to the battery terminals from the USB wall adapter. When I do that, the phone boots up and the battery stats says it's at 90% charge and draining.
I've tried 3 different wall adapters. One 500 mah, one 750 mah, and one 1000 mah. Same results on all of them.
Any ideas?
Edit:
I also inspected the inside of the phone for damage from the "battery pull" but there does not appear to be any.
My Galaxy S2 appeared to be working fine with no issues but during a charge one day, I noticed it had gone black and wouldn't turn on. I swapped out the battery and changed the charger (both taken from a different S2 that had no issues) and it didnt fix the issue.
The rundown:
Taking a different battery/charger that works with another S2 doesn't make any difference
Phone doesn't show the battery charger icon when plugged in
My PC doesn't recognise the phone when I plug it in via USB
The USB jig doesn't seem to help do anything
Tried removing the battery and keeping it out of the phone overnight, put it back in and still nothing
Tried removing the battery, plugging in the charger, waiting awhile, putting the battery back and straight away pressing power button - nothing
The only sign of life is that the phone gets warm around the camera area when left on charge.
Any ideas?

If this is still relevant (the OP posted 2 months ago)......
Phone won't power on, no charging icon when charger plugged in, recovery and download modes inaccessible, usb jig doesn't help, phone getting warm by the camera......I remember my time on the S2 forum, and these are all (when combined) a classic sign of a HARD BRICK.......
HARD brick = HARDware brick
SOFT brick = SOFTware brick
SOFT brick......usually recoverable
HARD brick......start using your phone as a paperweight......
Sorry mate, but unless you're prepared to spend out on a new motherboard, you ain't fixing it.....

Thanks Keith & all.. it was indeed a goner. An expert took a look at it and found that the cause of the issue was the EMMC chip where the data is stored. Unfortunately it is too tedious/complicated to replace due to how it is soldered to the board (requires specialised equipment etc) so it was a choice of replacing the entire board or bust. Just wasn't worth it for an older phone. I ended up buying a Xiaomi Mi4i to replace the S2 and have been pretty happy with it (save for a few software bugs now and then).
