i everyone, i have 2 original batteries, one with 1660mAh and the other 1650Mha and one extended bought from dealextreme with 3500Mha. All of them gives me the same problem. When they reach 50% discharge the phone starts to present problems.
1st - Mobile network/data disapear
2nd - phone turns off randonly
3rd - When it restarts charge info shows from 1% to 23% and baseband unknown
4th - With the phone off, i plug the outlet charger and it shows 50%+ with all batteries.
With the normal batteries, its almost impossible to make the phone work without plug in to the outlet and leave it for 10 min off before turn it on.
With the extended i just need to reboot and it works fine, but the charge info shows low charge, less than 20% and as time goes by (if the phone stays with the screen of) this info starts to raise to 25%, 30% and tops 38%.
I'm using only the extended one because its the only one that gives me no baseband unknown after restart.
I already used battery calibration app, clear battery stats via CWM and gets nothing solved.
I tried many ROMS and kernels, and so far the only config that is working fine without baseband unknown all the time is:
Android version:2.3.6
ROM: CriskeloROM Gingerbread v34
Kernel: [email protected] #52
Compilation #: GINGERBREAD.XWKK5
Baseband Version: I9100XXKG6
Theme version: BlackBlue by JaiGlisséChef
All of this is the default installation from this ROM .
My data plan is 10gb/month, so i let data on all the time.
This extended give me all day long work time with the phone instead of 4 to 6 hours with the originals.
I've tried discharge to 0% and then recharge to 100% but the problem persists.
Please help me or i will have to throw this phone away.
thx.
Looks like multiple rom flashing syndrom.
Flash to stock return to service centre .

You are kidding right ?!?! Isn`t there any other way to resolve this ? Why a phone that has an unlocked bootloader presents such bad behavior.
Even if i reinstall the stock rom wouldn`t resolve this ?
That sound like a hardware issue more than anything, I would flash back to your stock rom/kernel/baseband, reset the counter with a jig and use your original battery and see what happens.
If the problem is still there I would contact samsung and see what they say (Dont tell them about all the rom flashing, just say it started happening)

MRFS is when a user has not got a clue as to what is what and problem has not been solved .
Logic says that 3 battery's problem requires battery tested on clean phone with a stock rom . Solution is not to flash yet another rom kernel or whatever .
You have asked for help take it or leave it .

I installed an stock rom downloaded from that thread here in xda with many stock roms. I chose the latest with the following:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100UHKI1
Kernel: Replaced original with C.F.Root for KI2 (KI1 was not available) just to get root
Compilation #: GINGERBREAD.UHKI1
I did it yesterday just after the i was suggested to revert it to stock.
Using extended battery charged to 100% and ran battery calibration. I'll try later with the original to see what happens.
So far all of my software problems were solved.
Now, what are the chances of everything stays this way if i flash only once the rom i want and stops.
Thx.
Problem Solved.
What worked for me was installing an stock rom and recharge to 100% with the phone off then applying root and a new rom.
Start system to check its working and doing recharge cycles till the battery is dead.
I've read on another post which i don't remember now that doing this 2 or 3 times could fix the problem.
My salvation.
I'am having xperia mini pro ( mango ). Several weeks I was using FXP's CM 7.2, later decided to try LegacyXperia's CM 10.1, Installed it perfectly. Later that day noticed my battery drains very fast.. like 1 percent per 2~4 minutes. Thought to go back to CM 7.2, reflashed back succesfuly and the bug apeared.. I charged my phone to 100 percents, disconnected charger and battery drained to 0 per few seconds, phone turned off, tryed to turn on, but only red light keeps blinking. Connected to charger again, turned phone on, it says "charged" and 100 percent, but after disconnecting charger it dies again, can be my battery damaged or something? Tryed to wipe battery stats and clean phone under battery, nothing helps yet, any suggestions?

Try flashing your stock firmware with Flashtool. See if things are okay. If so, flash Rage kernel for CM7 (using command and not flashtool) and then install CM7. Rage kernel gets the best battery life in my opinion. Note that there are two Rage kernels. One for stock firmware and another for CM.

2. Mount System + Storage
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
and when i try to install zip from SD i cant open SDI restart the phone but it did not turn on.Now can not access the CWM.
Is someone can help me, or are looking to what I've got brick smaller dimenzija
Change your kernel (you can find kernels here)
Charges fine on any stock based ROMs, but when I flash a KitKat ROM, it will only charge if I put it in recovery mode. The phone will say it is charging(charging animation on battery icon) but it doesn't. Tried USB charging and 3 different wall chargers and 2 cables.
This has happened on PACman and Houston's ParanoidAndroid 4.3+geeb. Wiped everything before flashing, did everything their instructions told me to.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I've read something about a 1% battery driver and that flashing a kernel might help but I am pretty stupid with kernels. Don't know which would work for these ROMs.
EDIT - Charges fine with Cyanogenmod. That's weird. Oh well, I'll just use this one instead.
Hello.
I have a problem with my S II... Out of nowhere it started crashing. It boots normally, but once it loaded, it crashes immediately. The crash is actually a system freeze, then it shuts down. The battery is fully charged, but the phone was burning while it was charging, not the battery though. So basically I start the phone, it freezes, then it shuts down.
Don't know if it's the battery or the firmware... I have stock firmware.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE:
The phone is still burning, at the back top, camera area. The battery discharges very quickly now I see.
I remember using the flash before it happened. I used it to a point where it started buzzing and discharged the battery to 5%. I put it immediately to charge, but, now it's like in a vegetable state...
Still don't know if it's the firmware's fault or the battery. I don't want to rewrite the firmware, the battery I could change... But I'm thinking the camera or it's flash is broken, freezing the phone and draining it's power... Is that even possible? What to do?
Thank you.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, I found the problem, the mainboard was faulty and I had to replace it.
But now even though it seems to work even better, it has something else......... The USB port isn't working. The circuit board with the microphone, usb, etc. is the one I had before, didn't change that. So it should work perfectly, but it's not. When I plug the charger, it takes a few good seconds to see the status "charging", and when removed it's the same. When I connect the phone to the PC's USB port, it doesn't recognize the phone. What the hell? I enabled the USB Debugging on the phone and still nothing... The battery is charging though, but very slow. Damn, this phone is torturing me!!
Please someone help me with this other issue... ((
Thank you!
UPDATE 3:
I managed to fix my phone. Changed the mainboard, changed the USB board, installed firmware and it worked.
Thank you all for all your help!
Check the voltage during charging via Battery Doctor. It is due to your battery. Try changing battery

How do I do that? The phone freezes the moment it loads the system. I wrote an update in the original post. Thanks for trying to help.
So, anyone has any idea?
First replace your battery. Try to replace charger. It is your main board maybe thats why your S2 restarts itself. It is critical. If it does not solve your issue ... it is your kernel. Lots of peoples are complaining about kernel bad behaviour ... they are also not rooted. So try to root it if the battery doesnt solve your issue. Also try to have a hardware checkup by a technician ...! Hope it helps

So I consulted a technician and the problem was the mainboard. I had to replace it... Now it works like a charm, or so it seemed at first. Now something else is ****ed up.
I wrote another update in the original post, please read it...
Thank you for all your help.
@lucian there are charging pins and computer connecting pics on the main board which lets your smartphone to communicate with pcand charge. These pins have some prints for reading. So these prints are damaged according to my info.!. Repair those prints and let us know.!
@Lucian Andries I have the same problem of heating at the part of camera .. Dont worry i dont think its because the problem of flash or your camera .. Only because your battery gets heated up and leads to heating up your device . So i had to change my modem to control the heating im using KH3 now which doesnt heat up very often .. but i do have some heating when its over charged !!
@GreenArrow_I9100: What is KH3?
@syedbilal093: Ok, I tried that to, I changed the USB/Microphone board too. That didn't work either. The problem this time was still the mainboard, it had a faulty stock Firmware installed on it. I installed CyanogenMod 11 SNAPSHOT 12, and the problem was solved.
Thanks guys for trying to help.

KH3 is the modem type ..
You can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1066735&d=1337266991
And then flash it from odin but upload file in PHONE/MODEM instead of PDA in odin It did help me with heating problem !!!
For now even im running cm11 m12 snapshot over dorimanx and encountered no problems so far . I get a battery life for around 4-5 hours on screen wifi on .. And no heating problems !

I installed that modem too. Didn't check the modem I had before. Hope will help.
On my cm11 m12 I have some problems. Applications just "stop working" out of the sudden. As there is no thread for SNAPSHOT versions, I'm asking you if you have this issue. Is this due to kernel? Should I change the kernel? I have the cm11 kernel...
Thanks!

Generally applications stop working if you alter the procedure of flashing the kernel while you flash the rom
I prefer this order
1. Install dorimanx kernel
2. check for kitkat compatible recovery
3. Full wipe data factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache, Mounts and storage --> Format/system
4. Install Rom cm11 snapshot
5. Install Gapps(Used PA gapps)
6. Reboot !!
Anyway many say that kernel can be flashed between rom and gapps.
But so far i never had any problem of application stopped working !! So try this out !! Hope this solves your problem
Great to hear that @lucian

But is the Dorimanx kernel better than CyanogenMod's kernel?
@Lucian Andries Doesnt really matter the kernel here if you follow the correct order of flashing them .. I hv tested rom over both kernels and it was smooth with no problems So what you choose is upto you but i personally like Dorimanx
Both kernels are good though

I don't know. CyanogenMod may be smooth and all, but the GPS isn't working even with KH3 modem, unless set it to network/wi-fi/gps. And the camera also doesn't perform right. The colours are desaturated and it doesn't focus right. I think I'll roll back to official stock 4.1.2 for this device...
Could you tell me which is the best stock 4.1.2? I'm from Romania, and here we have this version "I9100XWLSS_I9100OXFLS3_COA_4.1.2". But they didn't put any effort into it...
Thank you.

All stocks are the same only difference is the location and language as far as i know get your required zip from samfirmware.com as per your location and flash it through odin. It should work !!
But gps is working fine in cm11 for me .. Dont know why its not working in your device mate !!

I don't know about that. I don't think it's just the location and language. For the language, all the location firmwares have all the languages included. But, not all the location firmwares are the same. I'm sure some of them have more work put into them than others. That's why some of them are buggy, having boot loops, very high battery consumption and slow response in apps and menus. Get my point? That's why I asked which country has the best official rom.
@Lucianandries, i came here after a long time. Some issues. Exams preparation, you know . I want to ask if your other problems are solved or not.? As for "application stopped" error. It is usually normal in Cyanogenmod. I also sometimes face this and that's why i don't use CM. Try to use "Official" builds. They are good.!
Ive flashed an unofficial gt n7100 cm12.1 yesturday(7-06 build).
since sime error made the rom unbootable, i flashed a custom kernel called widzard kernel2.5
I'm appreciated with the great features and ui.
however i found out that when i plug the cable with my phone powered off, it boots up. It really bothers charging
also sometimes when charging(**only when charging**) my lockscreen(not a custom lockscreen) crashes or says to try unlocking after 30seconds then my phone suddenly reboots.
I think this is a problem with the kernel.
Guys tell me how to fix this problem!!!
I cant even recalibrate my battery!!!!!
