Hello, I'm having a problem with my Galaxy SII, and it's that sometimes whenever I connect my phone to the original charger that came with the device, it acts as if it's connect to a pc(it opens the MTP application) and charges the phone very slowly, but sometimes it just works. So is this a common problem?? And could it be fixed?
Thank you in advance.
Is your phone rooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Give more info about the device please.

Demanding much? Clean your USB socket, try a different charger, call Samsung.

Hi guys.
I am having some really annoying problems with my SGS II lately.
When the screen is turned off, it suddenly turns on.
When the screen is turned on, it suddenly goes into "car mode", and it often goes into "Speech control". - and sometimes it gives the "I am charging" sound and it also changes battery icon to the "I am charging" icon.
All these things happen without anybody touching the device.
When I plug it into my PC it will not be recognized - the PC states that the USB device was not recognized.
When I plug it into the charger it sometimes does not begin charging.
I am pretty sure that it is a hardware problem, as it started after i have been using the current rom for some days without these problems.
I am using Litening ROM 6.0 with Ninphetamine kernel 2.12
So, I am thinking that it might be a good time to flash a stock rom and return the device to the shop for a repair, bu I don't know how to do this when USB mode is not working ..
I am used to flash with CWM and Odin, but Odin will not work - it does not "see the device"..
So, any of you guys have a suggestion for me ??
TIA, KE.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Try to flash a stock ROM with Odin...
Put your SGS2 into "Download Mode", launch Odin then plug your device to your PC... You'll see if Odin see your device or not...

There is s way of flashing without Odin. You must have cwm , clockworkmod installed though. In the Market get the revolution rom kitchen app and take it from there.

I have exactly the same problem. There are quite a few reports of weird USB problems with this device. This seems to be related to false "battery overheating" messages while the battery is fine.
It does look like a USB hardware issue, problem is how do we get a stock ROM back on the device to get it repaired under warranty? Is there a way to flash the device back to stock without using USB/Odin?

Wow, it is sad that this fine device should have so serious problems HW wise..
Today it just went from bad to worse for me - the phone stopped reacting to presses on the power button (it was screen-off) - and it was really really hot.
The backside of the phone was really so hot, that I decided to pull out the battery.
So now I am really in the ****. I just might try to hand it in and just hope that they will handle it as a HW error (but I really don't know)

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16664784&posted=1#post16664784 and the links from that thread.
From my experience, this isn't software / ROM related at all. Purely a hardware thing. Still having this problem on and off.
I have a family member who got this problem on a device with the stock version. I just started getting this problem (I have a custom rom) BUT I just got some third party cables.
I am wondering if those are the ones causing this. Does the SGS2 have a special USB input? Maybe with an extra connector (to eg. enable car mode on official Samsung cradles) which a third party USB cable manages to touch? I'll do some testing tomorrow as I get back to original cables.

Thank you, I would like to hear if it makes any difference.
But unfortunately I am using the original cable.
Update: I manged to get my phone to connect to the computer twice, so I now have it on a original Samsung build.
I hae ordred a Jig, and When I receive that I will return the phone for repair/change.
Have you heard about how returning phones with similar problems worked out ?

First try flashing an 'normal' kernel instead of the ninphetamine kernel. Everytime I install that kernel my pc doesn't recognize my galaxy s2, but when I use the KH3 or another normal rooted kernel I have no problems....

Did you send it in with custom ROM/kernel installed?
If so, did they declare your warranty was voided?
Thanks.

No. I manged to install stock rom and kernel. However I didn't succeed in resetting the "Custom ROM counter" (So the yellow triangle was showing at boot-time)

hello everyone
my proximty sensor always turn on after few minutes of booting (turns red),
i dont know why i'm facing so much sensors problems, first was gyro sensor
and accelerometer in my first phone, now proximty sensor in this phone.
please tell me it is a problem, because when i returned my first device,
they replaced it with gt-i9100G, and i9100 is out of stock, so i may get lucky for
once in my life and get the device i want
thanks in advance.
Same with my i9100g..i dont know what to do with it?
for those who have gt-i9100G, please tell if you have the same problem or not
because all i9100G model may have this problem.
thanks.
Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor?
Yup it is covered with the gard I'll remove n try?
removing the screen gard did not help..,
it has 2.3.4.. will 2.3.5 help?

maybe it will....
i remember that i saw one with 2.3.5 that does not have this problem,
the problem is; the rom with 2.3.5 is for a specific region, so it might not work in your device,
additional informations:
i dont have anything attached to my phone, i did a factory reset to the phone
and there is no apps/games installed.
please confirm that you have this problem or not (please mention your android version)
thanks.

hey santacruzdz

i was talking about the i9100G
i always check if my phone has some issues before flashing to unoffical/custom
roms becuase they void your warranty
hope you can solve it

is there any sign of life in your phone.
Does it light up at all?
If your phone doesn't light up at all, then it's hard brick

Not rooted? Claim Warranty
Rooted? Can get into DL mode? Recovery? I guess not. Claim warranty.

I have bill/invoice of his phone july/august 2011 don't remeber, warranty is 24 month right?

You rooted it or something, stock devices don't just start heating up like that unless you're using it heavily while it is on charger.
Or the battery you got isn't right, is the replacement battery rated higher than the one that was in it?
The problem is something you changed or did somewhere.
Regardless, try booting to download mode and flash the stock firmware, if its a software problem that might help, if its hardware you'll have to have hardware repaired or replaced.
