SII Battery Defect? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i bought SII and it was working fine in gingerbread.. then i upgraded it to 4.0.3 and after flashing it wont boot. then i plugged in the charger and it shows low battery though its fully charged. and due to low battery error i cant even enter the download mode.
now it boots to stock recovery( while the charger is plguged in) and when i click reboot now from there it boots normally and then i remove the charge and it works fine. but if i restart normally, it again shows the error and also wont enter the download mode. Help please.

Try to find another battery and see what the phone says then...

it somehow got fixed for a minute and i could flash gingerbread and now its working fine.. but i am afraid to update to ICS now..

You could have a defected usb port... Check around for the false charging to see if you have the same symptoms... ICS gives you an error when this happens but GB doesn't

[Q] My phone won't start or boot into Recovery Mode

I was using the Spike Pure ICS rom untill I flashed CM 7.2. Now my phone won't boot into Recovery at all. I tried flashing the ICS version of Lite'ning Rom through Odin, but it gets stuck at "factoryfs.img" and I have no idea as to what to do.
Also, I tried flashing the stock Gingerbread firmware after a couple of hours but it says that the battery is low. Will this method work?
Moreover, will I be able to charge my phone while its in this condition?

Can you get into download mode by holding the power, home and volume down buttons when the phone is off? Also, try taking the battery out of your phone for five minutes and then replacing it. Do you get any splash screen (Galaxy S2 Logo) when the phone is powered on? If you can get into download mode, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com. As for your battery problem, I can't see why plugging your phone in to the charger wouldn't work. Give the download mode and battery remove and replace a go first.

I was able to get the phone into Download mode till yesterday night. Though I left my phone connected to the USB port all night, it now says that the phone has low battery to get into Download mode. That's why I asked whether it would get charged or not!
I've downloaded the XWKL1 firmware and also the kernel and want to flash it as soon as my phone gets charged (if it gets charged!).
Firstly, check the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & check what model you have. Secondly, if the battery won't charge, try another battery. Thirdly, if you still can't get into download mode or any other signs of life from the phone with a new battery, service centre.
Thanks for the help MistahBungle & themadba!!
I flashed the stock GB Rom through Odin. Now I'll root it, flash CWM and start flashing again!!

[Q] Weird Charging problem please help

Everytime I plug in Nook Charging cable it keeps booting over and over. If I plug in my samsung galaxy cable it charges but the moment I plug in it just turns off completely and wont turn on until I unplug. I originally had a dual boot system running for 1.4.0 which is my nook version and tried to do a recovery which said successful from the file I created but when I rebooted the whole system didnt know what to use for what and kept asking then crashing. I factory wipe/reset after the problem started and upgraded to CM10 cynogen mod with the new JellyBean no duel boot. RUNS AMAZING. But the charging problems still remains, even when I booted stock after factory reset it was still doing this. I have CWM installed internally. Please help me I have looked over many threads one said it was an update problem created with AdobeFlash updates and I tryed to flash the fix listed but it just says error during install and aborts. Also it will stay on during the cynogen mod boot screen even if i plug in either charger but at the top it just says "Charging Disabled" says the precent. I left it plugged in at this screen and it didnt charge one percent after 30 minutes.
I just want to charge it and have it on at the same time. Please any help, any ideas and comments is appreciated. Thank You
i have this problem too. I'm using CM10. My battery died and wouldn't charge no matter how long I had it plugged in for.
Then recently it turned on, but when it is plugged into the wall, it just constantly reboots.
Any help?

Problems with offline charging

I'm havin problems with offline charging after i installed cm11. I've tried change kernel and change rom (i'm using PA rom now) and i'm still with the same problem.
When i plug the charger on my phone while turned off, it shows a battery icon with a question mark on it and i think it's not charging. Is this a general problem or did i make something wrong?
Try keeping it plugged in. See if it charges or not.
Also,did you change your bootlogo?
I didn't change my bootlogo. it boots motorola bootloader and then shows the battery icon with the question mark. I left my phone charging this way for a couple of hours and tried to turn it on. my phone booted with 0% battery and then shutted down, so definitely it is not charging. other thing I notice is that when my phone enter this buggy offline charging mode, I have to press power button + volume down to reboot my phone, it kind of get stuck in this mode when my phone enter it
Try using a different charger.
It doesn't seem to be a common issue.
Can you power up the phone whilst charger connected.?
I've tried two different chargers, one of my Moto X and the original one. If I want to charge the phone I need to turn it on first and then plug the charger. I can't turn it on with the charger on cuz it is stuck on that screen with the battery icon
I'm starting to think I've done something wrong. I did the following to get where I am right now:
I was on stock firmware, so I rooted the phone and installed the newest version of SS. Then I downloaded cm11 and gapps and copied to the phone. I entered the SS and wiped everything. After that I installed cm11 and gapps.
When I discovered that issue I've tried install JBX kernel to fix it and nothing. then I wiped everything again and installed PA rom + gapps and still that issue. Did I do something wrong?
No, you didn't do anything wrong.
Since its persistent across both ROMS, its not a ROM issue either.
In my opinion, its most probably a problem with port or the board. The port doesn't deliver enough power.
You can try flashing the stock ROM back, it might repair in case something s/w related is corrupted. If it doesn't work after that, then its a h/w glitch for sure.
just in case, if I install stock rom and the problem goes away, what might be causing this problem?
I can't re-flash stock rom because I can't charge my phone and I can't boot into the rom or recovery. I don't think fastboot charges my phone. I just realized that bootloader is locked. Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?
it isn't a h/w glitch because before cm11 it was OK to charge offline
You'll need a factory cable to flash in case your phone has insufficient power.
Look for it, there's a guide about making one in the general section I suppose.
No need, I've managed to charge the phone through USB on my pc. When I plug the charger on my phone, that glitch happens, but when I plug the USB on my pc, the phone lights up a white led and apparently it charges the phone (slower, but charges). That's really weird. I really want to know what is happening to my phone

Samsung GT-I8552: Unable to access recovery mode and battery issues

Hello,
I'm using GT-i8552 stock 4.1.2 (UNROOTED).
I did root my phone with 'Framaroot', the rooting was successful and SuperSU was installed properly. After this I didn't try installing any custom ROMs or any conflicting apps but still I started facing battery issues like,
1. After putting on charge, display shows that it is charging but no progress at all (it freezes at certain %)
2. When the phone is switched off and put on charge, the display just blinks up and goes off (lights on lights off) nothing else appears and no battery progress
3. Sometimes the phone charges properly to 100% but after disconnecting cable, battery status is 50-60%
The above problems occur not all the time.
The things that I tried,
1. Did unroot my phone and removed SuperSU
2. Did a factory reset from phone's settings option.
3. Got an original new battery from service center
4. Took the phone to Samsung customer care (they couldn't find any problem at all and advised that the problem must be in the charger) (I tried to charge with samsung charger, sony's charger & portable charger)
5. Changed USB cables for charging
6. Tried Battery Calibration apk by Nema
7. I think the charging port is little bit damaged but I can still get the phone to charge
Even after doing all the above things the problems still occur sometimes. Other than that the phone works fine, there is no BOOTLOOP.
When I try to boot it into recovery mode (volume up+home+switch on and release after SAMSUNG logo) but after releasing the buttons the SAMSUNG GT-i8552 logo appears and phone starts with no warning and all, it's not accessing the recovery mode or download mode too.
Is there any solution to the battery related issues or do I need to flash the stock firmware again?
I am not aware of the steps of flashing firmware, please do redirect.
Thank You!!
