Hi Guys, I left my GS2 charging overnight and then went to sleep. The following morning, I was unable to turn on the phone. There is also no battery charging indicator on the screen.
I've tried using another changer, getting a external battery charger but to no avail. I'm still unable to boot. The external battery charger shows that my battery is full but when still I can't turn it on.
So is my phone dead for good?

Nope, not working at all. Still dead.

Well, my phone is no longer under warranty, too bad for me I guess.
Thanks
Might seem like a silly question as you have tried other charger, but have you tried replacing the battery with a brand new one.
The problem may lie within the battery itself.

Yup, I've 2 batteries, one stock and one extended 2000mAh, both Samsung, I charged them both on an external battery charger and definitely they are fully charged but still, I can't turn it on. I've tried using another charger too, still doesn't work.

I plugged in my phone last night and made sure it was charging, so i wake up this morning and i unplug it and it was at 20%?!? So i plugged it in rougly an hour ago and it only went up 20%, could it be that i left the desk clock thing on all night it just used more than it could keep up with and my battery is just super dead? I have also used different chargers and nothing worked.
It never goes past twenty? If that's the case, i'm thinking it may be a battery issue. If you call Samsung and tell them the problem, you should be able to get another one for free.

If yes do what he said ^ and call [email protected] and tell them. They will most likely send u a new battery.

Try a differrnt micro usb setting or clear battery data in cwm
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Verify how much current the phone is drawing (CurrentWidget from app store or a shell script). Even with the factory charger I have seend where the phone will draw less than 400mA (which is less than from a USB port on a computer) due to the cable being used - I threw out that cable. The "Battery Info" showed AC but the phone was only drawing 389mA.
Mine does 1% every 2 minutes with stock charger.

its drawing 6130, but the phone is back to charging normally now, idk what it was but it was strange needless to say...
Had the same problem
I had the same problem of super slow charging a few days ago.
Fixed it by rebooting into recovery --> advanced --> wipe battery stats --> then reboot. Phone then charged as normal.
In case anyone has this trouble down the road...
For CurrentWidget you'll need to set the operation type to divide (/) and the operation value to 10. That will show you the correct charging current.

Try charging phone while it turned off. If it is the same it might be battery problem. And use stock wall charger with stock usb cable. Note draws 1A so generic microusb charger takes twice more time I guess.

I've got a problem and it started two weeks ago. Since then I was only able to charge the phone when I plugged it into the charger when turned off. But today even this has stopped working. When I plug it in the battery graphic appears but the circle isn't spinning and when the graphic is gone after 1-2 seconds the screens goes black and nothing happens... it doesn't charge, just dead!

Hello.
I've recently bought an extended battery for my HTC EVO 3D.
Changed from the original 1700 to 3500.
Problem is, right when I plugged it into the phone, it didnt turn on.
The charge light would go on for about 2-4 seconds then turn back off.
I tried using the original battery and still get the same problem
Now the charge light doesnt turn on at all, and the PC wont even read that it's connected.
Is my phone bricked now because of this new battery?
What can I do?
Please help me

Yes i'm sure they're charged.
When I took the old one out to put in the new extended battery, it was at about 75 percent.
I left the extended battery charging all night (no charging light on) thinking maybe it was just really dead.
Still getting same results this morning.
No charge light, no turning on.
On either of the batteries and various charging units I use.

Can you boot your phone into bootloader (hold volume down + power button when it is off) ?
Any chance you're using CWM? If so try another recovery... also the battery could be below minimum charge level, which could be solved by an external charger

I've tried all recoveries, nothing works.
I haven't tried an external battery charger because I do not own one.
Do you think I should go into a Sprint store and ask if I could test one and see if that works?
I don't see why because like I said, I put in the original battery and it still doesn't do anything...
I'm so frusterated guys, I just want to use my phone again

Your charger port might of disconnected from your mother board (basically game over), it was a fairly common problem on the OG Evo. I'm not sure if there is a fix for it, you may have to take it to the Sprint store for a replacement if they have one. I don't think they should charge you since it is a hardware issue but im not sure. Best of luck to you man

Bad volt reg in new battery fried the phone?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
Hi all. I have a big problem. I placed my phone onto my desk before sleeping (my battery was +/-55%). When I woke up my phone did not want to go on. I tried charging it for 3 hours with my 2 pin charger and it still didn't want to come on (the charging battery animation didn't even show). I also tried charging with the USB cable via PC but that didn't help. I used my multi-meter to check if the battery was working and it showed that it contains +/-3.4V (battery is rated 3.5V). I tried to boot up into recovery mode (volume down + home button + power button) but it still didn't come on
I bought my phone at the beginning of the year (brand new) and it has been working with no problems until today. I have essential data on my phone (phone book, messages, apps etc) which are really important and I wouldn't want to lose them. Help would be much appreciated.

But how can it get bricked out of the blue? Was working perfectly night before happened. The only app I installed was Angry Birds: Star Wars (officially from Play Google Market).
Hard to say. Phones (like any other electronics) can die for all kinds of obscure reasons.
Service centre or JTAG repair; if you choose the latter option (assuming it can be JTAG'd & it's not a hardware issue), you could ask the repairer if they can recover your data. Might be possible. Service centre will wipe it if it if it's not a hardware issue, and if it is, they'll replace the MB which means you get new internal storage/you'll lose your stuff.
LOL.
Its happened to me and its just a BUG...
you may have 100% of battery but the phone is showing like 50%(fake)
put the charger into the phone hold the bottom of the usb (the last piece .. of the charger) and move it

My phone not showing anything (even fake indicator). I did as you said: held and moved around the bottom of the USB (part plugged into phone), while the phone was charging (using 2-pin charger) but did nothing. I just tested my phone with a friend's S II battery and it didn't help

Same Issue
I have the exact same issue with my i9100. I woke up and it was dead. No recovery mode, no download mode, nada...nothing comes up on screen. It has been a little buggy ever since the ICS update but it has always worked eventually. I put the battery into my friend's phone and his worked fine. I am really hoping somebody has answers and it is just not "dead". I never used a ROM or anything, it's killing me that a $500 can just die overnight like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If your phone is still under warranty, go to Samsung service center.

I can not believe that just happened overnight, the only possibility is that you put some of the room's, if you have a warranty on the device, you can send it to the service and just hope that they will accept it and serviced
Hello,
Well, I was just on facebook messaging my friend. My battery soon reached 30% so my phone entered power saving mode. Suddenly, my phone turned off and now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger, the battery charge sign loads but then goes white and turns off. I tried entering recovery mode (hold power and vol up and vol down), but it didn't work. I tried entering download mode using all methods possible and that didn't work either. I have Serendipity 9.4 installed on my phone and it is rooted. What should I do? Is my phone salvageable or should I just throw it away? I can't go to Samsung and ask them to repair it because I have flashed a custom rom on my phone. I am at a loss...

Look at ur micro usb port of ur phone as well as the micro usb cable that u r using to charge it and see if any of the contacts are messed up in either one and therefore causing it to not make good connection. Or there may be some dirt or something causing the connection between the cord and ur phone to not be good also.
Also u could try a different cord or car charger...

Going by your Name,I guess you belong to some part in Asia( India or Pakistan -Most probably), just like me.
Just go to any Mobile repair shop nearby and give them your battery and ask them to give it a "BOOST" it wont cost u more than few bucks(10-20 INR/PKR) and 10 min's.
Now insert in your phone and that should work.

The fact you were able to customize your phone rules out the fact that you are "JUST BAD WITH PHONES" i have been doing this for months. There come times when I get a phone that just doesn't respond the way it is supposed to. I have two i777 that I am really struggling with right now. One of the previous posters suggested flashing back to stock. I understand you CAN'T get to download mode, that suggests to me that you require "JTAG" repair. I have seen that available for around $35.00. that's not bad. Search EBAY and google and maybe even here.
Goodluck
