is there any sign of life in your phone.
Does it light up at all?
If your phone doesn't light up at all, then it's hard brick

My little bundle of frustration causing plastic had a similar moment this morning, sorry to jump in, but this could be the thread for me too!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SII charging problem!!

Hello, I'm having a problem with my Galaxy SII, and it's that sometimes whenever I connect my phone to the original charger that came with the device, it acts as if it's connect to a pc(it opens the MTP application) and charges the phone very slowly, but sometimes it just works. So is this a common problem?? And could it be fixed?
Thank you in advance.
Is your phone rooted? Do you have a custom ROM? Give more info about the device please.

[Q] Problem with the T-mobile S2

Hey guys, so I've had the S2 for a while and one day it shut off on me and started vibrating. After I pulled the battery, it never turned on again. It doesn't charge. Last night I decided to screw around with it again and pulled the battery out several times, put it back in and the only thing I could get the phone to do was have the camera flash randomly flash for some reason, while the phone was still off! Can someone give me some advice or help so maybe I can save this phone? Thank you.
Pull out battery again pu**** inside...
Hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button
And tell me if you are able to get into download mode.

T-Mobile USA? If yes, that is a different model phone than this forum is for. T-Mobile in the States has model SGH-T989. The forum for that model is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329

I have had a similar problem on a Nokia phone. What I did was switched it off, charged it(from a company charger) , kept it off for some time with battery removed and later turned it on, and presto everything normal.
I don't know what could have caused it or your problem, but if you could give more info like whether you did something like installing an app or something we could recommend things like a factory reset from the recovery menu, or a cache/dalvik wipe and a reboot (which I would recommend to make sure it ain't software related)
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
idk

Remove the battery and switch it on after a couple of hours, and test whether your battery is working fine with an other phone.
After which if the problem still persist :
Try to turn it on in recovery or download mode.... If it again persist its time to send it for repair. If you can access download mode flash a rom and it might correct the problem.

I had a very similar with my Motorola Gleam which I solved by reinstalling the Motorola drivers, why don't you try that.

[Q] GSII shuts down when not in use

I am new to the S2 forum.
I have purchased my SG2 I9100 las month. It came with firmware version 4.0.4, PDA I9100BULPG and CSC I9100TCLLP9. I used ODIN and CF.Root-SGS2_XX_LQ5-V5.6-CWM5 to obtain root. The phone is working normally with full battery but after about 1 hour not in use, the phone shuts down and it is necessary remove and insert again the battery to wake up. The phone gets hot near the camera lens.
The phone works perfectely when in use with all the compilation buton working.
Please someone help me or guide me to solve this problem?
Try another battery or clean contact between battery and phone.

Try another kernel like Siyah 5.0.1... Seems like a small driver problem..

Just hit the damn help button if I helped you.
i'm having exact problem. i bought my phone last week too and i'm running Alliance 5. i'm a newbie, and i would appreciate any help. thanks
From my experience, dead-on-sleep (DOS) issues are kernel related, and it's likely to happen if you play with undervoltage (UV) your CPU.
