Guys, I m having a serious problem from the last week ... whenever i charge my galaxy s 2 ... all it does is get heated up ... but not even one percent of the battery gets charged .. but it charges only wen i switch off the mobile
i m on android 2.3.6
baseband version DDKL1
PLS HELP !
Try to recalibrate your battery using recovery menu or 3rd party app from the market.
I'd also recommend upgrading to 4.0.3 via Kies.
are you trying to recharge it with usb or mains?
First thing; don't try and 'calibrate' your battery using any app, the recovery menu or any voodoo crap you might read on here. It's just not possible. It's a nonsense. Best you can do is charge the battery to 100%, remove it for a minute, put it back in the phone & enjoy so far as that is concerned.
Waza is on the right path. If that's happening when it's connected to charger, you probably have a problem with the battery in all likelihood (or maybe even the charging circuitry). I'd get a new battery & see how that goes in the first instance, if it does end up being something 'worse' (USB/charging circuitry), at worst you'll have a spare battery for when you get it repaired & at best you'll fix the problem.
As Waza alluded, if it's happening on USB charge, that's not necessarily unusual if you're using the phone - whatever you're doing with the phone is using more juice than the rate of charge, also the phone will tend to get hot if you do anything more than light use while it's on either AC or USB charge.
i have upgraded it to 4.0.3
and i m looking forward for the battery life ...
and yes it happens with both mains and usb
anyways ty guyz

I have ATT Atrix 2.3.4 with Bootloader Unlocked bought in End of March 2011.
After 2.3.4 update I had Battery Stats jumping issue and applied jug6ernaut Fix.
After that everything was normal until yesterday.
When plugged in for Charge overnight, my Atrix wont exceed charging beyond 70%.
Is it so early a battery would loose its power within just 9 months?
Also When i run Battery Calibration app, it shows 70% with Voltage as 4115mV, which shows the battery is providing good voltage.
Is there any Fix for this or any thing I can try to get it to 100% without buying a new one?
Thanks
Let the battery drain itself and charge it in offline mode. It will be %100 again.
May I know what do you mean by Offline Mode?
Is it Charging without powering Atrix ON...
yup - dont log into the phone and just let her charge while asleep.
In development and general forums there are some ways of fixing it, the easier is to discharge your phone to zero percent, put it on charger, without the battery, wait it to see that isnt with battery, put the battery in, and let it charge, i did that, its not a 100% sure it will work, but is something you can try if nothing else solves the problem

I tried the last method.. put on charger without battery and then put my battery and left for charge for full night and its back to 100% and now its back to 100%..
Thanks everyone for your updates to solve my issue..
Hi All,
i am using a non rooted SGS2 in india. its running on the latest android firmware 2.3.6 (waiting for ICS.. )
the problem i am facing is that from past few days i see my battery drains very very quickly.. even if there is nothing running in background. i am using juice defender ultimate.. i guess its not helping either..
also it takes like forever to charge up.. i mean i plug my phone for charging at 17% after 2 hours it just reached to 21%..
at times while charging it through the USB.. it seems to be discharging.. it was at 37% after some time its reduced to 29%..
Also my phone heats up a lot for unnecessary reasons..
has any one faced this issue? please help...

first of all what programs run in background of your device?
second, what battery you use ? (1650 mAh 2000 mAh)
have you looked at your battery if the battery is working 100% or if the battery is damaged?
what rom is running on your device, which kernel do you use?
Could happen from rom. Here in germany the official 2.3.6 update was cancelled because of problems containing battery drain und reboots. Perhaps same stock rom problems in development.

i think your battery is gone. Maybe try charging it with the phone off or something. and if it it goes to 100% u can try download the battery calibration app on market to calibrate it properly. I would try everything i can before sending it back to samsung.
sounds like hardware problem mate, the phone should warm up when plugged but it shouldn't be above 35°C or so, and the slow charge problem could be related
if you can get another battery to test it out, or just buy a new one
good luck
You could try to reset your battery stats before going out buying a new battery.
thanks guys for your suggestions..
i uninstalled some of the crappy apps that i never used.. & voila my phone is back to normal .. less heat up.. battery lasts for 1 day.. hope it stays that way..
waiting for ICS..
@jeroensk - how can reset my battery stats..?
Clear battery stats boot to cwm recovery >> advanced wipe battery stats
But you will need a cwm and rooted phone ..
As battery stats do not need wiping dont worry about it battery automatically calibrates itself .
Some muppets think wiping battery stats actual does something . |It does not play any part in charging the battery or battery life on SGS2 .

I have searched the forums but not found a thread which is similar to my problem.. I know there are battery drain issues with wifi etc but this is wierd and only started happening a few days back.
Basically i plug phone in to charge and it charges completely normally and quickly as it used to but only charges up to about 68/70% then it basically stops charging any higher, LED still red, charging display over battery still there. Turning phone off, rebooting, unplugging and plugging charger back in all makes no difference!
Any ideas what could be the cause of this? how to resolve?
I'm on stock JB, using the official wall charger and USB cable and i made sure the battery was full when i updated to JB as well.
Try a different battery, these are getting to the point where some will start to fail, six month warranties on batteries for a reason.
Well i have a £1.99 spare battery in atm as i run the original battery completely flat today. Seriously though be surprised if battery fail after 3/4 mths - never had battery dying issues on previous phones i've had until they were a good 2/3 years old.. Always a first though LOL
Its like the battery is saying its fully charged at 70%, now its completely flat i will charge it overnight with the phone off to full (if it gets there) and see if is resets the battery callibration or something.
Try to wipe battery stats via cwm recovery/advanced.

if you are rooted than download batterycalibration and untick 100% charge and click recalibrite and leave the phone on charge and it should charge up nto 100%

This app just wipes battery stays, so you can do same by going to cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats.

It has nothing to do with wiping battery stats. I think Kangburra is right...
UPDATE.
Shamed to say that i am not rooted yet... I have been there and done all that on my old phone ZTE Blade, but i really like the added functions that TW brings and don't suffer much in the way of anoying redraws or lag etc (although i do feel that TW could be optomised alot better along with better RAM Management)
I was going to at least root to sim unlock but got a sim free unlocked phone so had no need, then other stuff i wanted to do like freeze samsung apps etc is all possible without root and i've not come across that "I" need root at the moment.. was going to for APPS2ROM but i got no need to free up space yet.
Cheers for the suggustions though - I have that battery callibration app already (from old phone days) obviously don't work though.
Anyway - I am monitoring battery atm but it seems that running the battery completely flat until it turned itself off and charging overnight with battery off has resolved this issue - maybe this reset the battery stats and recalibrated it.
Its back to normal now, charges upto 100% as normal!! Fingers crossed this was just a blip
Morning all.
I have an issue were my battery won't charge even though its plunged into stock charger stock USB cable (Samsung)
I have tried charge control app. But still same results with or without the app. Or trying different charging currents.
I have been trying to search why this is happening. But frustration is setting in thus my post.
Any bodies got any ideas or directions I could try to help find why the phn won't charge.
To try explain a bit more, if I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in - come back and check battery level a few minutes later if - if the battery level is not changed - unplug / plug back in........... Come back in a few check battery lvl if its increased leave the phn plugged in and the phn charges.
But like now for instance the phn was plugged in overnight battery lvl was still at 45% this morning. Unplugged / plugged back in.... charging.... 50% but since typing this post ..battery lvl is back to 45%.
Its most frustrating as its my business phn and it needs to be 100% in the morning...
Problem was not here with ICS.. But ever since Samsung update to jelly been I've had this problem for months.
Then decided to try tamasek ROM and kernel with optimized battery usage.. Still same issue.
Pls help..

Stock charger known to be flaky, use another
Explain pls
So i just played with Custom ROMs to find the best for me...
But from one point my Phone f*cked up the battery detecting...
CM9 and CM9 detect the battery at 45% and then he Level instantly just drop to 0%...
I cant even restart my phone, so i guess the battery really went out...
So how can i fix, that the ROM would not detect it 45% but 3-4% ?
And let me fully chage my phone ?
Stock rom Always Detect it 100% and then randonly the phone shut down in random times (cuz it drops the level to 0%)
I've tried the "Fully-Charge, Fully-Discharge" But the ROM still detect the Battery wrong...
Even tried to delete the battery stats...
Any solution, or idea ?
I currently use CM with the built-in CM9 kernel...
I think its battery problem.use a new battery.ur prblm will be solved

How old is the battery? What charging cable are you using and what is the cable plugged into?
If the battery is more then a year old it could be 'tired' and not holding a charge correctly (trying another known good battery in your phone will determine this, as will trying your battery in another phone, and if it works well you may have more issues to deal with). If you got the phone second hand, you have no way of knowing the battery's history. Repeated overcharging is also not recommended, as well as leaving the battery in very hot places as it can damage the onboard circuitry in the battery.
Cheap aftermarket (non OEM) USB cables are not that great imo, they are generally not as well made and soon get loose connections, resulting in poor connectivity (charging with a bad cable can also damage the battery). Always use the original cable or a good quality aftermarket one, like Belkin.
Charging the phone from a USB port on a PC or laptop (and/or via a USB hub) is not as efficient as charging it directly from a wall mains USB adapter, because the power often gets interrupted. Ideally for the best charge you should turn the phone off and use a wall/mains socket USB lead, so as give a direct, constant, power supply to charge a battery. A typical full charge is done in two hours. If you charge this way and the battery still has issues buy a new one.

First of all, the Phone is manufactured in 11W41 (2011 Week #41) and the battery in 11W39 (2011 Week #39)
I use a tipical Micro USB charger which does not connect to the wall with USB but the cable directly integrated into the adapter...
And the phone's shipped official cable to charge throught my PC...
The battery worked fine before i forgot to delete battery stats and flashed a ROM...
After that, all ROM is getting fake battery data...
After using my phone i noticed:
-When the phone displays 70-80% charge, the battery actually have 10-15%
-When the battery reach 0% the phone not just jumps to 0% but the Phone shut down within a half second (as no more energy)
-When i charge it to 3-4% the phone show 80% again...
-So i can charge it to about 10 or max 15% when the OS detect 100% and does not charge it further more, which prevent me from properly re-calibrate the battery stats, cuz 10-15 will be always the max charge of the battery...
Now i'm looking for some kind of Mod / App that fake the Battery level to the OS (for example lock it to 5% and the OS continue to charge the battery) i know its dangerious cuz if i'm not aware i'll overcharge it and it will die permanently, but i have no better idea ATM...
Update: Sometimes after my phone dies from no remaining electron in the battery It displays 5% charge when i switch it on while connected to a charger (the only way i can switch it on) And starts to increase.. (5-6-7-8 etc..)
But sometimes it instantly jumps up to 70-80% if i think right when the screen switches of..
So i enabled "No-screen-off-whili-on-charger" and letit charging..
Will notice you about the result...

try reflash stock.ics ftf should fix this
Already tried, the Stock rom always showed 100% charge, and when the battery ran out, just powered off...
(Jumped from 100 to 0 instantly)
As i mentioned, in the reply you quoted, today it started charging from 0...
It went good, but somewhy, it just stopped at 26% and not a single volt went into the Battery...
As i Pulled out the Cable, the indicator jumped to 100 instantly...
Can you link several stock ROMs ?
I've tried with the 4.0.4 Android
but maybe the 2.3 can still work with it...

but i think theres some HW damage. even if not rhe battery maybe some config chip is broken or whatever on the board. normally flashing a stock.ics.ftf resloves all software issues, as its resets all stuff to factory..
anyway, here u can find links to other android versions: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389
