Hey,
Major issue I'm facing today. I first noticed this about 2 days ago, I'm currently running Resurrection Remix 2.0 and has been installed for about a week? with no issues.
Two days ago, I put my phone on to charge at night, as usual. Woke up the next morning and by mid morning Noticed my battery was at 15%, When I checked the battery stats, It looked as If the battery had not charged ( I'm pretty sure it had been on charge, but put it down to the fact that It wasnt plugged in correctly)
Next Day, (last night) I put it on charge, and checked it was definitely on charge, which it was. I woke up this morning to find the exact problem, this time at 50%, When I remove the power cable the charging animation still continues.
I turn the power off, Remove the battery and wipe battery stats and start back up, over the next 20 minutes the battery stats increase my battery percentage (not charging) and then continue to drop later on.
Tonight my phone had drained its battery, thought it would be best to drain it, leave it off on charge and turn it back on. I've come to turn it back on removed the power cable and now it will not turn on but constantly loop through the Charging animation icons..
Does anyone know the fault for this or even a fix? I cant boot into my rom, or even CWM
urgent help needed!! thanks in advance

Do you have a screen shot of the battery usage? And it sounds like you have an issue with the charging port. Clean it with a dry toothbrush
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
may be a kernel change would also help u ...
Pretty straightforward really. Either a battery problem (less likely) or a problem with the USB/charging circuitry (more likely; we see it on here all the time).
Try another battery & see if you can get the phone to boot. Otherwise, service centre.
As KMs said, you might as well clean the USB port while you're at it, and then try a new battery (at least you'll have a spare when you get it back from repair).

Okay tried cleaning it with a tooth brush but no luck, the phones been playing up all day, still saying its charging even though Its not plugged in lol. Just got back home to back everything up do a full wipe and update the rom to the latest version+ kernel and its not even being recognised by USB, it'll charge, but not recognise
Is this a common problem with the S2 then? that the usb fails/malfunctions?
Think I'm gonna have to take it back to three on Monday, hopefully get it repaired/replaced asap ( but will need to flash back to original stock ROM + Kernel first!)
We've seen our share (I've seen at least a couple of dozen) of these in Q&A over the time I've been here (~8 mths), yeah.

Cheers, Thanks for your Help. I'll let you know the outcome on Monday.
no point starting a new thread.
So Does anyone Know where I can get the original (HG3) Three UK ROM for Samsung Galaxy S2?
I don't want Three to say that because I've put a custom ROM on it I've voided my warranty
Here, Samfirmware.com or you can get the latest firmware for phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update with the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google).
Thanks again for all your help.
finally got some screen shots off my phone,
here's the battery stats if anyone's interested

Downloaded the firmware, however I cant seem to find how to update OTA, Its given me a .tar which I could use Odin to upgrade, However as I cant get it to read from USB I cannot get Odin to detect my device
That's probably due to the USB circuitry problems you seem to be having. Might want to use Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) to flash the firmware. If it's an ICS stock rom, you should be able to use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.
Hey guys..im also experiencing the same problem.....sometimes charging stopped halfway....when i check with the "battery widget" it says overvoltage (with " ! " symbol)....
is it because the firmware problem or usb port or charger problem ? any solution? Tq in advance guys !
Did you even bother to read the thread ? Go back to stock & see if this resolves the problem. Then clean the USB port with an unused toothbrush or similar. Try a new battery. Try a new charger. And if none of these fixes things, service centre.

So, let me start
Few weeks ago my phone hard-bricked when i was trying my softbricked (Rom manager fault) O1 unbrick with KDZ. But it is just the start. So my phone was left at service to unbrick it for almost two weeks. When i got my phone , it was running some 2.2 official ROM, but it was strange, filled up with russian applications and widgets. I didn't liked that, so i updated my optimus to 2.3.x (The newest version, but don't remember which) to have the new baseband. Then with super one click rooted, and through terminal i installed CWM (5.0.2.0). Then flashed the newest oxygen. My phone was very unstable. It was just shutting down for no reason, restarting, (and i also got two times kernel panic, when it was clocked just to 748mHz) especially when i was using it. Also battery lasted not long, so i wiped batery stats, but it not helped. So i decided to flash new ROM. I fully wiped everything, and flashed PerfectPeso 2.2. Then flashed fixed scripts, GAPPS, New kernel. IT was also VERY unstable, so i thought old version PerfectPeso is not compatible with new kernel (PP.kernel v1.7), so again i wiped everything and flashed PP 2.3, then GAPPS, new Kernel, Fixed scripts. It was still not stable as it should be.. In the morning phone was just turned off, so i turned it on. In battery stats there were strange things: battery just came down 10 percents as i turned it on, and also it doesn't showed it was turned off at night not all. Phone was connected to charger all night. In a day it was just keeping shutting down, but just then, when the screen was turned on. After that, when i came home, it just turned off, and not turned on, even no LG logo when trying to turn it on (It turned off in my hands, when 20% batt were left). So i just kept trying to turn it on, by removing batt, reconnecting the charger. AND IT TRUNED ON !! but after few moments it went down again. I started trying again to turned it on, it turned on again, just in few attempt's. My phone was showing that 23 percents still were left... So i fully charged it, when i did that i tried to calibrate battery, like the manual said (i typed in su, then calibrate into terminal) but calibrator said i have to turn my phone off, and when it boots, i have to remove batt, and then put it in. I did it few times (with the calibrator help). I thought everything is fine. (But i wanted more performance, so i made EXT2 in my SD, then tried to enable ungaze a2sd by typying into terminal A2SD, but nothing hapened. Then, i tried To ZIPALIGN all APK's Manually, by commands: "su", and then "zpall". The command did something, no errors. Then i wanted to get rid of boot logo by trettet, because it not looked very good, so i went to Settings and disabled my bootlogo. Then i just started playing gta III (now phone was only on default cpu clock speed, because i disabled overclocking on boot, and turned it on when i needed it). Then I pressed home key, opened Dolphin browser, and my phone went down (as usual). Then tried to turn it on, but no signs of life, i did it for over 20 times, but still no luck from yesterday. Can anyone help me to solve this ?
Also, i don't think it is fully bricked, because when i connecting the charger to my phone, phone battery pins gives me around 2.35 V (but when it was full bricked few weeks ago, it gave me no voltage)
Thank you
p.s. sorry for my terrible English
ahaha yes very funny (sarcasm) -.-
Cool story bro..
Can anyone test full-bricked device, what voltage comes to battery pins, when phone is plugged to charger ?
Thanks for the changed name )

I just wanted to know what voltages comes to the battery, (or should come if it is not removed) in the phone ;DD
Anyways, thanks for making me happier )
But i still need to know, how to test if my phone is really bricked :/. I know, it sounds a little bit strange, but i can't explain everything in English because of the lack of knowledge of English words ;DD

Then how another time it didn't show any logo, but after trying it booted up. Also how it could brick, only by opening browser ? (then my phone went down and won't turn on)

Well, you can have hard brick or soft brick...
If it has a hardware brick, it is unknown how will it react, best to go to a service...
If it is software brick, try flash stock GB with kdz... if not then it is bricked, go to a service center...

I know. And also, today i thought that i could try to trun it on, so i took the phone, tried to turn on, but nothing. Then I took the battery out, shaked my phone and "Clapped" it into my leg, inserted the battery, pressed on button and.. the phone showed LG logo !!!
Then it went down, then I plugged in the charger. It charged a for few min. Then i powered on my phone, it turned on succesfully, so i just layed the phone on the table, to charge (It was 4% at the time). After few mi. i took the phone and it was turned off. I tried to turn it on, but no signs of life. So again, my phone is "dead". It is no truning on anymore, and shaking, pulling batt out doesn't seem to help. What should i do ?

?
so, another thing: The phone in yesterday evening started working normally (Exept few turn-offs), i left it charging till this morning. In morning phone was not active, i turned it on by reinserting batt, but phone showed just 75% batt left, even if it was plugged in whole night. Can anyone help me to remove all this sh*t ?
Also I tried few ROMs, but same. Maybe KDZ would help me if it is baseband problem ?
Or maybe it is hardware problem ?
I would be very happy if someone could help me with this
(last time KDZ bricked my phone, so i don't want to use it anymore)

Hi guys.
Just now I was trying to use my phone and suddenly it couldn't turn on anymore. I searched around in the internet and found out that it might be the problem of motherboard.
It doesn't turn on at all. So I am wondering if I change my motherboard, will the data inside be wiped too?
I am okay with the apps and stuff but I don't want to lose the pictures, contacts and my texts.
Any idea on what I can do ?
I really really really don't want to lose those 3 things mentioned.
Thank you a lot for any replies
What (if anything) did you do to resurrect your phone?
Did you remove the battery for some minutes?
Did you try turning it on with the help of a USB Jig?
Does the phone charge?

As far as I know the memory is part of the MBO so if it gets replaced the memory gets replaced too, hence all data not on external SD will be lost.

I did remove the battery for about an hour. Charged with and without battery on. No response both ways. I don't own an USB Jig so I didn't try that method. I am using official ROM, most probably 4.0.4 ICS. Any clues ?

What I was trying to say is: does the battery get charged, i.e. if you connect the AC adapter to your phone (which is turned off and has the battery inserted) do hear a sound and do you see the battery charging symbol? If not, how can you tell that the battery is charged at all? First of all you should make absolutely sure your battery is fully charged, for instance by putting it in an other phone.
Once you know the battery is fully charged the Jig might help. You should also try getting into download mode by using Volume Down + Home + Power button. But again: first make sure the battery is charged.

I used two different charger and tried to charge the phone and nothing came out on the screen. No battery charging symbol. It remains the same dark screen. I will try to find another phone or battery that can fit to test, most probably at the stores tomorrow. But I am pretty sure my battery have some batteries left. If so, anything I can do right now ? It doesn't switch on at all so I guess that's why the download mode didn't work ? Is there a big possibility of it being the motherboard ? I don't mind replacing anything but I just don't want to lose those important data. Thanks for the help
Can you get into download mode? Use the volume down + home + power button combination.

Without Jig? No. Probably order one from Ebay? The Jig is quite cheap so you do not loose much money if it does not work.

I'm using latest XWLPX firmware and it have been working fine and now suddenly the battery icon keeps flashing, I can't see any battery stats, the battery percentage dont go down and when I reboot my phone it drops from 80% to less than 20%. When the phone is turned off a battery is shown indicating how much battery percentage is left and some seconds later it disappears and it appears again, over and over. Is the battery damaged? I've tried to unplug battery, wipe cache and wiping battery stats. Yesterday I used my phone when it was raining just to see when the bus arrived but I dont think just using it in the rain for a short time will damage it. Shall I try to re-flash in Odin?
for sure you need the re-flash, if you are not on custom ROM, why not do emergency recovery trough Kies?
I cant tell you if your battery is damaged, did you install some crazy battery tools/indicators/mods?
Try reflashing and see what happens mate.
I recommend you to reflash rom and then try better battery stats...
Cuz ur observation says its not Hardware problem

Really strange, the flashing battery symbol has to mean something. I also noticed if I plugin USB charger and remove it, then try to disable "USB debugging" in settings I'll get a "USB is connected. Remove the cable." error message. I just restarted my phone too see if I could get rid of it but I still can't disable it and now my battery dropped to 12% it was almost fully charged?! And the icon keeps flashing. When I turn it off again by pressing the power button the battery screen appears and disappears over and over again like I said it first post. It's the screen you normally get when you connect the AC adapter to your phone indicating how much it's charged. It shouldn't appear if you dont have USB or AC adapter connected. It's impossible to turn on the phone, when I hold in the power button for some time the battery screen disappears. Then I try to power it on but instead the battery screen appears again without booting my phone. Only way to get in is to start recovery mode and select reboot phone. Gonna try to re-flash with Odin but seems to be more a hardware issue.
update: re-flashed and the problem persists...
I just flashed CM9 and almost all the time even when I'm not charging I get a battery with a charging icon on it. Here is a picture of the strange battery drain:

I have exactly the same problem, and I also disassembled the back and searched for the issue. Cleaned the connector with some white gas and compressed air, but it didn't helped at all.
Did anybody fix this issue?
EDIT: found bigger thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216163
Try not using your phone for 3,4 days.... if was a water damage, it would be resolved automatically...
Hi everyone, i have just spent the whole day searching about this problem and i have not found solution, and things that worked for some people, won't work for me.
Hope you guys can help.
I'm going to tell you the events before i had this issue so you can get a lot of info about what posibbly happened:
1. I was tired of my phone being slow and some apps didn't worked for it because it had Android 2.2.2 Froyo and was never updated.
2. I decided to update installing Neutrino 2.9 by Notorius : Thread .
3. When i was trying to install the custom recovery i did something wrong and had to flash a Stock rom using RSDLite.
4. The rom that i installed was a Stock rom from Personal Argentina 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
5. After flashing this rom, the battery won't charge over 93% or something like that.
6. I wanted the phone to reach more battery % so i did something that read here at xda.
7. While the phone was off and charging, i removed the battery and once it showed the "?" symbol, i put back the battery, so it showed 5% and i panicked!!! because the tutorial said i had to install some zips from the recovery and when i tried to get into the recovery (i had already installed CMW) it didn't loaded the recovery. I pulled off the battery and try many times to get in the recovery but i couldn't so i powered on the phone an let it charge for hours but it didn't worked.
8. I was getting crazy so i tried to calm down and do some research here at xda, i was reading for hours until i found This thread , the guy said the the only thing that i had to do was waiting for the app to show approximately 4200mV and hit fix, it should fix the problem:

in my case, percentage shown was 8% and when i hit the fix, it raised 2 or 3 points (remember this numbers) i guess, but didn't fixed it at all (100%) so i started hitting fix every 10 minutes after being sure that the voltage was 4200 or above.
9. While doing this fix thing every while, i saw that every time it raised 3 or 2 points at the percentage shown, (the whole process was done with the phone plugged into the wall charger). I sttoped when the percentage shown was 97% because i was afraid it would cross to some 100%+ percentage, and 97% was nice for me.
10. After fixing the battery indicator issue, i decided to follow carefully a tutorial too install Neutrino rom 2.9 EE that i mentioned before.
11. The whole process was great and i successfully installed the Neutrino Rom i was happy and everything was fine.
12. When i was looking around the features of the new rom, the phone freezed and rebooted i thougt that maybe i was touching so many settings that it became unstable,although i didn't touch anything about processor speed , so i power on again and after a while another reboot , and another and another, i started to get mad at this and tried to find out what was causing this reboots.
13. Suddenly i had an idea and pulled off the microsd card, after this, the phone was like 9-10 hours without any rebooting and i was playing and installing several apps, and checking some tweets and facebook and everything was fine.
14 After like 11 hours since the last reboot, the phone rebooted again and this made me mad again.
15. I turned on the phone again and i saw it had like 40% of battery left, so i plugged it and let it for an hour, when i checked back the battery level, it was at 92%, so i let it for about half an hour more and it had again 92% of battery.
16. So i thougth, well during the flashing process the battery indicator got miscalibrated again, so... (pay attention to this) i run the app that fixed my problem at (see step 8 and 9 above) , it was at 92% and remember i saw that it "jumped" like 2 or 3% off battery shown, but instead, it jumped to 100% and battery shown jumped from 92% to 177% i panicked!! (again), and unplugged the phone.
17. I continued using the phone normally and before going to bed i plugged the phone.
18. After like 2 hours charging, i went to check the phone back and it was DEAD
So i tried this:
1. Plug the phone to the wall charger ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
2. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
3. Plug the phone to the PC via usb with battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on for 1 seconds and then goes off
4. Plug the phone to the PC via usb without battery ---> RESULT: green led turns on and stays turned on, until i put back the battery
5. Plug the phone to the wall charger (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
6. Plug the phone to the wall charger without battery (samsung galaxy s3 1mA) ---> RESULT: nothing happened.
I hope some of you can help with this, i've read a lot of posts but they are from 2011 or 2012, i'm making this one because non of those gave any help. Thank you very much for your atenttion.
That's very strange...
But the random reboots you are having an neutrino are not your fault, I had those two... I think sometimes it just hang on the deep sleep and wouldn't turn on so I'd have to pull battery and then boot up again. Maybe that's your problem, too, try pulling battery.
If this doesn't fix it, does long press on power do anything?
In the end you could still charge the battery externally though you'd have to look what voltage you need and which pins you need to connect.
As far as the 100+ percentage goes, that is reasonably normal. It happens to everyone sooner or later (me included), and mostly happens if you choose to restart the service instead of rebooting the device. A reboot should help (always does for me). But even if it doesn't, there's no reason to panic - it's just a number. It does not mean your battery is being severely overcharged lol.
I see you're using an older version of the app. You should try upgrading. Not to say a newer version will make any kind of difference, but hey, newer is better, right?

1. I already pulled the battery but it didn't helped me.
2. Long press on power does nothing.
3. I'm looking for someone who can tell me if the battery is ok using a multimeter
but i think it's very strange, because even without battery the phone should turn on screen when plugged to the wall charger.
4. Thank you.

1. Thank you for clarifying about the percentage shown thing.
2. The screenshot that i posted is from the app thread, my phone doesn't turn on .
3. I had installed 0.40 version.
4. Thank you

1. Oops didn't realize that you connected your phone to pc without battery, Sorry
2. Ok, was just a theory
3. It should be alright, (if you know which pins to connect ) but you can read through this guide.
4. You're welcome (but the thanks button is a lot easier...)
I hope you can get your phone to work again, but if charging via multimeter doesn't help, you'd have to send it in I think
It's alive!!!
I'm glad to tell you that my phone is alive again, and the only thing that I did was, leaving it in a box with the battery in, and today I tried to turn it on and it turned on, the charging via wall charger is also working and everything seems to be fine. Thanks for the help.

Are you sure that your battery didn't get wet? maybe it is on short-circuit, if I was you I would change it.

I'm pretty sure that it didn't get any wet, I still don't know what happened but it is working perfectly. Thanks for your help!
Hey guys, last night something happened to my good old S2, i had problems about it's battery before so when it's battery suddenly dropped down from %20 to %0, i wasn't surprised. So i went and put it to charge (i don't use the original charger, i found a huawei charger and it gets the job done) and after a moment it showed that it is at %50 battery (like i said my battery has some problems), so i tried to turn on my phone. Then it went in a boot loop on the Samsung logo, i was going to turn off the phone so i can clear the cache partition so i unplugged the charger cable and it suddenly went dark, no power, no nothing. I tried to put it on charger again but it didn't help. I let it charge there overnight but it didn't help either. Then i borrowed my friend's S2 battery and it didn't work while my battery powered up his phone so i think problem is not on the battery. What do you think, is my phone bricked/fried? I had a photo archive in my usb storage(not in the SD storage) so i really wantt to recover it if its possible in anyway. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
Thats wierd , try with another charger and the original battery and let us know how it went.
PS:That phone is a though piece of hardware mine is still runing (of course after a lot of repairings and software changes) after 5 years , finally swtiched for lg g3 used from ebay , best deal ever

I tried another charger adapter (not original, my original charger is not working properly) with different cables and it didn't work. And for the battery, i have an original battery and it didn't work, then i used my friend's non-original battery and it didn't work either like i said before. But my messed up battery turned on his S2. So the problem is probably not on the battery.

What about usb , does the pc at least make the device connected sound ?

No, pc doesn't indicate anything that my phone is connected nor the phone shows "charging" indicator.

Is there a way i can be sure it is a dead motherboard? And even if it's dead is there a chance i can recover my photos?

Hi there. I has a similar problem, the phone was working but even with the orginal charger plugged in was not charging at all (connection to PC didn't help either).
There is a procedure to "retrigger" a stuck charger IC.. I lost a link to it and I'm looking.
Had something to do like:
_ remove battery
_ plug phone to charger
_ insert battery
_ turn on
After that I'm not sure anymore.. maybe again "remove battery" step. After that put everything to rest, insert battery and then the charger and see if it works.
I'm googling, someone made a post on XDA with the full instructions.

Ok thanks please let me know if you find the full procedure and I'll try it
Hi, I found the procedue, it's exacly how I described the 4 steps above (the source it's on a external forum, I'm not sure if I can link it here - I'll send you a PM if you like).
SO, if the phone was stuck just like mine, working until the battery discharged even if plugged-in, that will solve it quickly (mine did precisely).
Otherwise.. there could be several reasons why the phone is not recognized anymore, some point out a faulty cap around the charging IC (if the phone is totally dead):

}
This cap, if faulty, is actively shorting "Vbat - Gnd" line thus prventing any operation of the phone. Could be water damage o defective charger. It depends how much you want to dig to repair your phone (there could be 1000s other reasons - this is the most HW one).
From what you described the problem in your post.. this defective Cap would/could explain many things.
How are your soldering skills? First thing I'll do is to open the phone and inspect, possibily with the help of a multimeter, next desolder the cap and power the phone back with a charged battery (don't connect the external charger, there might be burned pcb traces - but that's anohter story).

Sadly the first procedure didn't work. My soldering skills are not that good but i might know someone who can open up the phone and do things properly Do you know any detailed instructions for the second method you mentioned? Thanks..
I've no other details other that the picture. Before tearing the phone apart, you should try to test "continuity" beteween the "+" and "-" metal contacts of the battery holder. If you have a friends with a multimeter he will know how/what to look for (tell him about the short).
