Charging paused. Voltage too high - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This never happened on my phone before ICS. Any fix for it? This message came up as I was charging in-car. Someone told me he gets the same on VK rom.
edit: sorry, just noticed there's a long thread about it. Scratch this then.

Hi, i just posted a post in a different thread about this problem

Have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520528
Try cleaning the USB port on the phone with a tiny brush or something, make sure there is no dirt, and also make sure the pin is aligned correctly in the USB port, mine went like this and I fixed it by tweaking with the USB port. But also have a look at the thread.

Started happening to me too!
Get a flashing battery icon continuously too.
In no connect USB cable, it show the battery icon like cable already connected! (lightning pic in the battery)
When I search in Google, I got forum.xda-developers.com
I understand the idea of problem, of my Hardware fault finding experience
I clean the USB port in (The Samsung galaxy 2) PDA phone
gently and I am connecting to charge or computer cable,
Straight,slow, careful, every time
Last 7 days no error popup coming !!!!
Thanks to all

What is the manufacturer Answer

This has been happening quite a lot to many of the S2s all around the world from the looks of it. I think Samsung is using some cheap faulty material in their USB ports which is causing them to corrode/fail easily. I've changed mine completely once and had to pay for it since they conveniently categorized it under 'water contact with the phone' which they couldn't cover under warranty and I paid for a complete replacement. 5 months later and its happened again. Absolutely unacceptable. Please write in to Samsung and complain about this.

Issues with NFC, HDMI Out, and 4g! Help please

Hey guys, so I flashed King Kang ROM yesterday (LF6), great ROM btw! But I am having a few issues, please keep in mind that I have looked through numerous threads on these forums and others before posting
I have also tried to troubleshoot these issues on my own with what little knowledge I have, I've wiped a few times, reflashed, changed HDMI cables, MHL, charger, HDMI ports, etc.:
1. NFC isn't working, my wife has an S3 and she tries to send pictures to my phone on her end, and on my end I see this once she "sends":

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. HDMI out isn't working anymore, I tried to hook up my MHL to the TV (which I have done many times in the past on GB and ICS stock), I do get sound BUT accompanied by an all black screen or what is sometimes a completely blue screen with colored pixels at the very top
3. After not being able to get a mobile connection when I first flashed King Kang, I edited the APN to one I found on these forums (thread by wish777), I finally got on to 4g, but the speeds are terrible, like 1mbps up and down (using speedtest). It alternates being "H" network and "4g" constantly. What is even weirder is that I switched to WiFi and I was STILL getting 1.5-2mbps on speedtest, even though I have a 100mbps connection here...and speedtest from my PC/Laptop delivers great results.
I'm baffled at all three of these issues and have not been able to find any help or info, if you can, please do, thanks!
nobody?
I am also wondering the same thing. I get the same message but only with pictures.
web pages, and youtube transfers work fine.
Im running Official ICS 4.0.4
Im gonna keep my eyes and ears open.
Im sorry...but i just dont use those features...So i'm not much help...g

HELP. No clue what caused this (gray screen)

I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Lol no you probably need a new digitizer/lcd panel. That's my guess

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!
re: Will keep you guys updated!
Today I gmy evo back..
(I was away for a holiday , so could not get the phone fixed before)
They replaced the motherboard... It's great, exept that I now can not root the phone anymore
Why not?

good ole HTC....
What's your point?.... I didn't think they fully removed it on the last OTA anyway?...
If they did and its back, its not necc a bad thing at all so lets be sure to not jump to conclusions and assume its all bad too...
Last time they had issues with it configured poorly and would shut off data if phone is asleep after midnight or whatever...so far I haven't seen this behavior... So maybe they fixed the issues it had before?

True, and a very good point. I just thought i'd point it out just in case
I hate it. Every time you plug your phone in to a computer it tries to install the software, and if you let it it'll fubar your adb and fastboot drivers. Not to mention I prefer my phone to not whore out all my information to every computer it gets plugged in to.
But anyways, now that I've removed some of HTC's bloat I'm liking the update.

i eventually managed to get it into download mode (took about 3 hours of pressing the same buttons time after time) and flashed a ROM via odin, after the apparently successful flash the phone reboot, time and time again for around 30 minutes, like the clown i am i removed the battery (i know i know), so now it gets to the carrier logo, then the samsung logo and thats where it stays, it can enter recovery (stock i believe) but the volume buttons do nothing, i cant for the life of me get it into download mode again, should i cut my loses or is there anything else i can try?
Sell it instead of opening multiple posts on the same subject .
not really the same though is it as it now freezes on the samsung screen.

A coworker had some strange GPS problems. He had bought a used S3. It wasn't obvious at first, even with my real S3 next to it.
A look behind the battery cover showed it's true face, a fake S3.
On youtube there are enough videos that point out fake form real. Have a quick look and know for sure. It could help you find the error.

im 100% positive its genuine (yes i have checked the vids).

My Galaxy S9+ burned itself - Samsung claims I put it in the microwave :(

Hi!
Weird case here. I used my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus as normal about a month ago when I ran out of power. I connected the original Samsung charger and chared it fully. When I powered up again there was no WiFi and no cellular network. I tried to: reboot, reset network settings, reboot again, but no luck. I then used about forever to tidy up images and files before I took a full backup and then reset the phone to factory defaults. All functions was normal, except no network. The reset to factory defaults didn't help either.
To I via the online shop made a support case - and sent it for repairs. I thougt this was a clear warranty case - phone beeing under a year and everything.
A couple of weeks later the workshop told me the damage could only happen if the phone was ran in a microwave oven. Well, it didn't. I have worked with computers and phones for more than 20 years - and of course I would not put it in the microwave oven. I do not have kids or anyone else that would do this as a prank on me.
And to be frank - I can not understand how the phone can be undamaged in all other aspects than the network antenna connectors beeing burned after running it in the microwave. I asked Samsung on the phone today if this was the case, but did not get a clear answer.
So do anyone know, is it even possible to ruin just the antennas with a microwave oven, leaving everyting else on the phone intact? Have anyone seen this happening?
And how can Samsung claim this is the only way this damage could have happened when it didn't?
I am so frustrated at Samsung!

The problem with the WiFi and Cellular network seems like a IMEI-Error. (You can see your IMEI in your Phone-Settings) I also think, that the first part, that would break in a microwave, is the USB-Port, because of the "open" wires.
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks. The wifi and cellular is burned all right. But nothing else. I got the pictures from Samsung now.
