My problem is kind of strange.. when I turn off the phone, it thinks it's being charged (no cable plugged in).. and i'm unable to boot the OS as per usual. The only way for me to do it is to load CWM and choose the reboot option, which does work but only with 1 battery (a spare hyperion one). The stock battery and my other hyperion aftermarket battery does not work. Instead, it takes me to the stock recovery system.
I tried remedying this problem by doing wiping battery stats, but it doesn't help any. I also decided to make the jump from unnamed ROM (gingerbread) to an ICS rom (AOKP)
On top of that, the phone no longer makes a beeping sound when i plug the cable in, but it does charge the battery.
Another thing: the boot screen (when turning phone on) shows "samsung i9100" when i'm pretty sure my phone is an i777.. i might have done something to this phone when i got it about 10 months ago, but i don't remember. All i remember was rooting the phone and flashing it to unnamed ROM.
It seems like this might be a hardware issue, but i'm no expert.

I would try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm. Also, fix permissions in cwm. If that does nothing, I would try a different kernel. However, this may be an internal issue of the phone.

Well you fixed your charging issue by itself It says that because the flash counter has been tripped. Just use any triangle away app from the play store.

i just flashed to AOKP ics rom yesterday from unnamed ROM, so i doubt it's a a kernel issue. just tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. still the same issue. im afraid of shutting the phone off or changing the batteries now, which is a pain since the new ICS rom burns battery power like crazy.

the flash counter isn't a big issue for me; thought i had circumvented it when i flashed the ROM 10 months ago, but i guess not. the phone still thinks it's being charged when it's turned off though. that's my main problem.

Try to go to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does obviously a hardware issue
ultimately, if i really want to confirm, i'd probably have to do that. but i've already installed 2 different ROMs and the issue is still persistent, so i'm just going to assume it's a hardware issue. it also seems now that the phone no longer turns off. if i choose to turn it off, it'll just reboot the phone. this phone will have to last me another 9-10 months, i just hope it doesn't die out on me.
but yeah, i tried ICS for about a day and didn't like it. bad battery life, seems slower, and less user intuitive UI.. so i'm going back to gingerbread.

you know samsung has factory warranty for that kind of stuff.
i got my phone refurbished, about 9 or so months ago.. it only came with 3 months for the warranty. i guess getting a returned phone ended up biting me in the ass.
now the phone is overheating when im charging it.. looks like it's going to crap out on me soon.
Download the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository. Do a full wipe including system data cache and dalvik. Boot into download mode hook up Odin and flash the stock firmware. If its a hardware issue your problems will persist in which case u could sell it on eBay for parts. If its a software issue that will fix it.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
that's what i'll probably have to do tomorrow. if i remember correct, rooting the phone on 2.3.4 wasn't that straight forward, so i'd have to read up on how to do that again. but im just gonna leave it as is right now.
the phone acts really weird. when i took out the battery and replaced it with another one, it would keep doing the same thing. so then i plugged the phone into the USB charger and tried turning it on - that worked.
if it's a hardware thing, it's got to be something to do with the battery sensor. the phone is simple to remove, so i wonder if i can replace it myself.
i believe my phone is now semi-FUBAR.. it still runs, but seems like the battery sensor issue is a hardware one. i just tried doing a stock flash/odin thingy, and it still has the same issues... also, the phone is now permanently showing as MTP connected. i am also seeing decreased battery life.. only lasts about 1/2 a day now.
i guess i learned my lesson.. don't switch out the batteries too often, or your phone will die.
Another thing: the boot screen (when turning phone on) shows "samsung i9100" when i'm pretty sure my phone is an i777.. i might have done something to this phone when i got it about 10 months ago, but i don't remember. All i remember was rooting the phone and flashing it to unnamed ROM.

is this a big deal? i'm also having samsung i9100? im using ucle5 AJ's rom/kernel.
i'm also having issues with charging the phone. it seems to charge forever, i have to unplug and plug the charger again to properly charge it.
When it says i9100 it means you tripped the flash counter. If you want to reset it use a triangle away app.

do wiping battery stat needs to be in full charged? i used to do that on my tab so i guess same principle applies.

I cant charge my phone after flashing the speedmod RAGEMOD kernel and undervolting it. I already tried reverting back to stock voltages, even tried flashing over jeffery's speedmod kernel and finally back to the original T27 speedmod. None of them could make my battery charge via the phone using the wall charger or via USB. Instead when it plug it in it keeps telling me "Battery Disconnected" and battery status is shown as "AC" but "not charging". What gives? Wiping cache partition and recalibrating the battery doesnt help!
EDIT: Help please! Factory wipe didnt work either! Is there such a thing as a charging brick?
Flashing new ROM doesnt help either! Am i doomed?
Firstly, that's not Speedmod kernel by Hardcore, because Speedmod doesn't do OC and UV.
RAGEmod by RAvenGEr is based on Speedmod, however has OC + UV and extras added to it.
I wouldn't recommend using any kernels that has OC and UV, reason is, it's a phone, why are you even overclocking it? As for UV, the power savings might be worth it, but for a phone that might not receive calls or might freeze during heavy load doesn't appeal to me. (MIGHT is the keyword).
Which is probably why Hardcore doesn't include OC+UV in his kernels.
Anyways... In order to remove the settings, you will have to wipe the userdata partition. You can also flash to another kernel that ignores OC+UV settings. Ignoring the settings doesn't mean that settings are not there, so if you use another kernel that has OC+UV, that settings might cause you some grief. If wiping the settings still doesn't work, that means the RAGEmod might have modified charging current and it is time to claim warranty at the nearest Samsung Service Center.

Thanks for the reply.
Like i said, already flashed 2 other kernels (including the original speedmod by hardcore) and i did not touch any of the settings after that. And i have NEVER overclocked this phone before, only undervolt. I did a full wipe of my phone, but it didnt work, i am running TOUCH X KG5. So i did another full wipe and flashed Cognition 1.5 which comes with his own kernel i suppose. It worked at first, at least for a few minutes before the battery disconnected notification popped up again. To my disappointment, i tried plugging the phone in while it was turned off. And to my horror it showed the battery logo with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark on it. Meaning the phone is unable to charge even while its turned off. Ive no idea why and i have never heard of a "charge brick" on any phone before, and definitely not on the SGS2. Anyway isnt a full wipe and a flash of a new ROM supposed to erase and overwrite any previous OS files? Which means my old corrupted settings should have been gone by then.
I ended up using the USB jig i bought some weeks back, and it works fine. Right now im charging my phone via USB (not wall charger) and it seems to be charging like normal. Strangely enough, my phone seems to charge fine AT LEAST for now...

You could try flashing back to stock using odin and staring afresh before root, if you got it charging.
Otherwise this just sounds like your battery is fubar.

I tried both the stock original battery and a third party one I bought and they're both behaving the same way. I charged it a bit with the wall charger just before I left the house this morning, and all seems well though. Maybe the jig resets something else other than just the flash counter?
I'll try flashing back to stock tonight and see what happens. Thanks!

i think i have to flash back default rom and bring back samsung and check.
May be only singapore S2 got this type charging probem
Over the last few weeks I've been noticing my battery levels fluctuating when I plug it in to charge and alot of the times my phone thinks it's still charging even when the plug is removed. Also when I switch off my phone- the battery charging icon keeps sporadically popping up preventing me from starting my phone- the only way to start it is to actually connect the charger and hit the power button.
I noticed this problem whenever I try any of the ICS roms- the error message 'Charging paused due to over voltage' keeps popping up. I've gone flashed various gingerbread roms thinking it was a software issue but now I think it may be a problem with my charging port. I also checked my voltage levels and they're hovering around 3.9V. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it?
Did You get Your handset liquid damaged? Might look like a silly question but i would sell mobiles myself and noticed that such symptoms might to be related to water/condensation damage...
Hopefully not in your case
Well no, my phone's been dry throughout. Never got it wet. The condition has progressively gotten worse over the last week. The switching off problem and ICS issues tipped me off that there was a problem here. All this time I thought my battery fluctuation issues were because of the rom/kernel
Probably the best idea would be to flash stock rom from your country and send it away for warranty repair, with a charger attached... no point fiddling with it yourself (especially that its not firmware related)
Good Luck

I did all that. Made naff all difference.
Hey guys, it's been solved. I ruled out any kind of software issues and finally went to a tech guy I knew. Told him that I think the USB port is malfunctioning and he removed it and started the phone & there were no issues. He replaced the USB circuit board for me for the equivalent of $17 (RM50). Phone is working just fine. Just so everyone knows I tried cleaning the port and even pushing the pin inside towards the display but they didn't work. All in all I can say that replacing the port is the only real solution because Gingerbread may be forgiving of the over voltage but ICS is going to keep giving the over voltage error every few mins which gets really annoying.
Anyone in Malaysia facing this issue should go see them because they were really helpful and replaced it on the spot. Also many other places said it would take a week to fix and were going to charge me RM150-200. This is a link to their lowyat post- http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=72&t=2099197&st=0#entry46541006
Glad to know i'm not the only one with this problem. Mine also only started when i put ics on my phone. And when I restored a gingerbread rom it still had the same issues also minus the voltage error. Looks like i'll have to put it back to stock and send it away.
Galaxy S II overcharging issue
Mine is doing the same... but in my case it has a hardware issue: I charged it with my car charger in the truck, but I put the charger at 24V output by mistake... Now my I9100 has that yellow triangle and it's work only when plugged in charger!
I was using my phone this morning and it froze so I took the battery out and tried to reboot it. It is now stuck at the screen you get when your phone is off and it is charging...ya know the green battery with the dots under it. It will not budge from this screen at all! I have done everything I can think of and nothing will work...Anyone got an idea how to fix this.
Did you try to take the Battery out for a few Minutes? You could then press the Power Button for a few second swhen the battery is out. Do you have a CWM on your phone? Tried to "boot in it"?
Power button + Home Button + Sound - (or was is it Sound +?) button when its off. There you could wipe cache first, or do a full wipe if its necessary...
Ive tried to boot into clockworkmod. It wont take. I booted into download mood and tried a restart from there and nothing. I will leave the battery out for a min and see what happens.
Solved this your Problem?
What have you done when your phone was freezing? If you just were watching videos it should be fine, but if you was installing something or even take changes on the system

if you're having consistent trouble with each rom you try, its either your phone or some sort of user error on your part.
flash it to stock and see if the errors persist. if they do, then it would seem your phone is faulty. if they do not, maybe stick with stock for a while and do some more reading before continuing with flashing custom roms.
I flashed back to unnamed instead of stock and things seem good just a battery drain issue I have juice defender running and still lose battery like its my job. Could I need a new battery?

Have you tried to calibrate your battery?

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this problem.
I've been using my X10 Mini running CM7-2.2.0 for internet access (both USB tethered and Wi-Fi hotspot) for the past couple weeks while traveling. About a week ago I started having problems with the phone randomly shutting off during an internet session (usually preceded by a single vibrate). It's gotten progressively worse. Whereas at first it was only happening after surfing the internet for awhile, now it's at the point where I can power on the phone in airplane mode and use it for awhile, but as soon as I turn on the GSM or 3G radio, the screen simply goes dark and the phone is off.
I suspect it's one of two problems: either there's a power issue, or the phone (particularly the GSM/3G radio) has become defective. To back up the theory that it's a power issue, I've noticed some strange things with the battery and it's reported charge level. Today I left the phone plugged in while off (charging from the USB charger for my Kindle, which outputs 850mAh). After a few hours the screen showed it as being fully charged. Then I turned on the phone and it said the charge was 33% percent. Still, even if it was only 33%, as soon as I turned on the 3G radio, it died.
I've tried charged with 2 different microUSB cables, one supplied with my Amazon Kindle, one from a Nokia phone, so both are quality cables. I don't have the original charger and cable with me to try those, but it seems like I should be able to get a charge between 2 decent cables, 1 wall charger and the USB ports on my Thinkpad laptop.
I did try doing a wipe and factory restore of the MiniCM7 ROM just in case, and also tried reverting to a previous MiniCM7 version just in case that one would be problem free, but it's no different.
I guess there's a 3rd option: could it be an issue with the nAa kernel?
Any help or input is appreciated.
Something similar happened to me when i was on MiniCM7-2.2.0
It's definitely an issue with the ROM, not the kernel.
I went back to stock with xrecovery and did a couple of battery-calibrations (drain the battery, charge it on the wall-charger and do a battery-stat wipe when starting up the phone again)
I still can't get a 100% full charge and when the batterylevel sinks below roughly 30 percent getting and making calls results in the same behaviour as your phone (forced shutdowns), but i have a half-decent batteryperformance again.
I have a strong feeling that MiniCM7-2.2.0 doesn't like usb-charging very much, but i don't have any hard evidence to back that up, but i know some other people have the same sort of issues.
It's definitely not the kernel itself, becaue i'm using it now with a different rom for testing and the battery behaves roughly the same as on stock firmware. If you get your battery back to decent performance (don't think it will ever be completely good again), earlier versions of MiniCM7 don't seem to have this particular issue, so stay away from MiniCM7-2.2.0.
That's about all i could advice you, it seems to be the only rom that displays this particular behaviour.
Great to hear at least someone has had this problem. Have you tried other Gingerbread ROMs, such as GingerDX?
Thanks very much for your input.
Yes, i've tried GingerDX, quite like that one too, and i've tried MiniCM7-2.1.9, which is one version older than the 2.2.0, I'm testing a new one now GIngerZaraki, and none of those seem to have this particular issue.
Did you post in the MiniCM7 thread regarding the issue? Just wondering if I should pos there about this. This seems like a very serious issue if it is to do with the ROM. I just tried restoring MiniCM7 2.1.7 and I'm having the same problem though (although ometimes the phone just shows no signal rather than crashing). I also tried reflashing the kernel, but no luck. Right now I'm thinking stock ROM is my best bet.
It needs some time to get it back up working well, let the battery drain till about 10% and then charge it in one go until 100, that will probably take a short time because your battery won't accept full charge yet. Turn the phone on and reset the battery-stats in recovery, if you boot into the rom you can see the percentage, you can charge it again to 100 and repest the process, it took me about a week.
And i think there are posts about battery-issues in the MiniCM7 thread, but i'm not sure how much work still goes into that, since nAa is busy with MiniCM9 and the new kernel for ICS.
I've restored it back to original 2.1 ROM in factory restored state and thankfully the GSM/3G radios are working again. Only problem now is that Wi-Fi won't turn on, giving me an "unable to start Wi-Fi" error when I try to turn it on. Did this happen for you, SmG, in that first week of battery recovery?

Well i think you are totally new to using this ROM so this issue is raised i have been using this ROM since the release.
There is no such Issue.
The actual issue that might happen (also happened in your case) is Flashing error, that means Bootloader is cracked, Kernel is flashed and rom is flashed but there was some minor glitch which got skipped and Flashing got successful, so you will have the problem even after factory resetting.
Here is what you should do Download Bootloader, kernel, ROM again. Delete old Files and use new ones to Unlock BootLoader Reflash the MiniCM Kernel and Flash The ROM, then go to recovery Wipe dalvik Cache,Battery Stats and then factory reset via recovery, after doing that everything should work fine.
also Xperia X10 Mini is not made for Tethering so if you use it you might get those problems again, try to avoid it.
if the problem persists install SEUS factory reset your mobile and update it by the SEUS or PC companion even if it says you have latest version, it will make your mobile factory reset.
I've been using CM7 since last year and 2.2.0 since its release. I have tethered before without problem though that was probably 2.1.7 and with less extensive use.
I ca say that the problem persists even though I am now back on stock 2.1 ROM. Wiped system before restore, wiped Dalvik cache, wiped battery stats, restored 2.1 and flashed stock kernel. I guess this means the problem has to be the bootloader?
As for repair with SEUS or PC Companion, I tried both and there is no way to force repair -- at least with CURRENT versions, and the versions I have won't run without an internet connection and you are forced to update. When run, both said I have the most curent version of the software on my phone and no option to repair anyway. I think this is a change from previous versions, but if you don't believe me, please try it yourself. Maybe I need to relock the bootloader?
Thanks for your input.
To follow up on this, the underlying issue seems to have been a my battery. Having just swapped out the original battery for my own self-built replacement, it seems to be working absolutely fine.
My battery life was fine before this issue. My theory right now is that the extensive tethering and internet use I was doing on the CM7 2.2.0 ROM and, most importantly, the heat that it was creating (I remember the phone getting hot) brought about a rather sudden death to my battery (heat being a known killer of battery health).
Download the battery calibration app,charge to max and leave it plugged in. Enter the app and see how many mv the battery is emitting. It should be 4200 at full charge.

I assume you mean that I should do this with the old battery? Not really an option anymore since I clipped its cable to use on my new DIY replacement battery. However, back when trying to solve this problem, I did wipe the battery stats both from Battery Monitor (app) and from CWM recovery (separate occasions) and did full discharge/recharge cycles to calibrate. Obviously it didn't help, and I think it may have actually made the problem worse.
Same problem here, wifi Not working after relocking bootloader on my x10mini.
:crying:
Secuence of events that happened BEFORE the problem started:
1-Had a working rom of CM7.2
2-Battery was going out too quickly (7 hours or so) therefore I tried wiping battery data
3-Charged the phone
4- Unplugged it, took a picture
Problem:
One hour later I realised it was turned off...
I turned it on again, it turned off soon afterwards
for a moment it had a problem turning on (it wouldn't go past the cm logo)
afterwards it was even worse; it turned off before even passing the first logo, I couldn't even get it to recovery mode.
Solution Attempt no.1
Tried to get it to stock rom with Odin.
I was able too... but the problem persisted in the new Rom.
Solution Attempt no.2
Tried to get another rom
My situation NOW
I'm back on stock Rom. If I leave my phone alone for like an hour or so it works for 20/30 secs before turning off... After that the problem gets worse till I cannot boot.
Any ideas guys?
How old is the battery? There are apps on playstore to check your battery, thats where I would start. It doesn't sound like a Rom problem, sounds like hardware.ie battery first. Gluck.

Can't have the phone on for 1 minute, forget about downloading and using an app from the store...
I don't know if it's a hardware problem since it happen really suddenly...and just the day after I resetted the battery stats ..... Maybe it is a hardware issue but I want to be sure I tested everything first
Hey, maybe you moved on but I was having the same issue on every ROM.. stock or not. being the detective I am I investigated and inspected.
One of my battery connecting pins is loose even though it's pressed tightly in the case any moderate amount of force or impact loosens it from the contacts.
My temp solution for you would be to add something to the back cover to apply enough pressure to keep the battery still or resolder the copper connectors. The first being easier.
Hit thanks if that helps.
Invest in a new battery. Simple solution.
