First off, I tried searching around and couldn't find anything relating to this. I found things relating to high temperatures and abnormal battery usage but found nothing about this being cause by a memory card.
Anyways, since inserting a 4GB SanDisk memory card into my phone the battery gets drained very quickly. What makes this even stranger, when I plug the phone in to charge, the temperature gets very hot (~48C) and the battery doesn't charge. I'm assuming it doesn't charge because of the high temperature.
Since removing the memory card the battery life has returned to normal and the phone charges as it should at normal temperatures.
I'll appreciate any help or tips on how to fix this issue.

I would assume that the SD Card you have is faulty somehow. I would first try another SD Card to see if it also causes the same problem. If it does then it is likely a hardware issue and if it does not then you know it was a faulty card...
Just my opinion... Anyone else have any advice?
Use something like OS monitor to see if the media scanner process or DRM processes is going nuts.
It may be that you have some media on your SD card that the media scanner cant deal with and it causing it to get stuck, try backing up and formatting the card.
Also what rom are you on?
Well this is something, I re-inserted my memory card and now the phone doesn't boot up properly. I tried removing the memory card and it still doesn't boot up properly.
Usually the screen with the 'S' that says Samsung Galaxy S II goes away after a second or two, now it stays for about a minute and doesn't even take me to the home screen. It takes me to the screen that says "To begin touch the android" (the screen you see when you turn the phone on for the first time and asks you to setup a google account) but heres another twist, I can't interact with that screen because in the foreground there are several errors saying Sorry! --- application has stopped please try again and these errors just keep looping.
My rom is stock android 2.3.3

Your best if you don't want to have to format your phone is to use odin to flash your stock rom again (make sure its a non wipe package)
That should leave your user apps/data but you might lose stuff like sms's.

Is your phone brand new? Did you just get it?
I had a Motorola Xoom Tablet that was like that right out of the box and I had to Factory Reset / Wipe the device to fix it.
Follow the advice of the previous poster and try to flash your stock ROM again with Odin and see if that fixed the issue and if not then you will likely have to Factory Reset your device.
If THAT fails then it is off for a warranty repair or to a service center Id assume...

After clicking force close about a hundred times (literally) I managed to get back to the home screen but I've noticed some stuff has changed, See where it says Phone Contacts Messaging Applications in the middle image for me it just says Applications.
Any idea as to whats going on here?
EDIT: I just noticed if I try to open an app, the app crashes instantly.

I've had this phone since July (when it became available in Canada). It worked flawlessly until I decided to put in a memory card a few days ago.
EDIT: And I just tested the memory card in my old phone and it works just fine there.
I have a 4gb micro SD card and today I had to do a battery pull because my phone decided to have one of it's 'random freeze moments' as I was downloading a song. When I turned my phone back on, my phone didn't recognize my SD card, just acted as if there wasn't one, so I took off the battery cover and pulled out the SD card and it was really hot. It was also very slightly bent out of shape and had a tiny crack across the halfway mark. I'm scared to try and bend it back because I don't wanna break it in half. Later I put it into an adapter (it somehow fit enough to slide in) and plugged it into my computer. The computer did nothing for a few minutes, so I decided to just pull it out. I put my fingers on the adapter (it's a usb cord that I can put my micro SD card in) and it almost burned my fingers off.
I know now not to be an idiot and buy a not-so-great card and to backup everything I have, but is there any way I can get the stuff on the card back or is it gone? And am I safe to put another SD card in my phone or will it turn it into a stove?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Me too

Almost exactly the same thing happened with my 16BG Micro SD in my Droid 4. There was no obvious crack or deformity, but my phone battery was draining really quickly so I plugged it into the USB charger. A few minutes later, when I needed to move the phone out of my way it was CRAZY hot. I could not get the phone to "wake up" and tried shutting it down and restarting it, with no success. I plugged it back into the USB cord and the green light on the phone lit up, but the computer did NOT ask if I wanted to view the contents of the attached mass storage device. It generally does that hourly while attached. I called Verizon Tech Support and after being transferred to "Tier 2" I was told a replacement phone would be sent. I got to thinking about why the phone battery was draining so quickly and remembered I had turned on ALL the GPS/Location Service options for some app I ran the night before. I thought MAYBE I could somehow get the phone to turn on just long enough to turn those battery killers off. I left it attached to the PC, twice it started to turn on (Batwing/Droid logos) but changed its mind.
After work, I plugged into my wall charger figuring it wouldn't hurt, since a new phone is due to arrive Monday. After a few hours I could turn it on while attached to the charger, turn off the location services, and it slowly began to charge. It felt hot when I unplugged it, and the battery still seemed to be draining fast. Furthermore, it said my SD card was using an unrecognized file system, and offered to format it, but failed when I agreed. Next, I tried the MicroSD card in my tablet, which could not read it. It seemed the card was quite hot upon removal 20 minutes later. I put it in an adapter, and tried it on my laptop. I could see it listed as a drive "Removable Media" but could not access it as it was "unformatted". I tried formatting it within Windows but was unsuccessful. I dropped to DOS and tried running chkdsk, but was informed that chkdsk can not run on a RAW format drive. I haven't a CLUE what an RAW formatted drive is, but plan to Google it to find out. I tried formatting,(from the command prompt) and it would get most of the way through, then tell me that then FAT sector was bad. I tried again, before removing the "very VERY hot" card and adapter. Without an SD card, the phone was cool. I put in another card, and the battery is not draining particularly fast, the device seems cool, and I learned something new about SD cards, I had thought the advantage of solid state storage was cool operation, low power consumption, and less risk of data loss or corruption. But when it fails, it seems that all three qualities degrade simultaneously, and it runs hot, eats battery power, and you lose everything on it. Live and learn.
it is better not to insert one coz I think u might go to service center and check the hardware.

Based on the statements youve made, Ive come to think that it is your phones overheating battery/CPU/GPU. Is your phone under warranty?

I registered to say me too.
This is almost identical to what happened to me.
I lost some work too.
I had to reset my phone.
Shortly afterwards, the phone did an operating system update.
I posted in the off chance that someone knows how to retrieve the data from the SD card in the future
Thanks

That almost sounds like the card internally shorted so it was drawing a bunch of current which would lead to heat and battery drain issues. Flash memory is usually more reliable since its solid state but theres always the possibility of hardware failure. Was this card brand new or did it just start acting up one day? If it was relatively new I'd try getting it warrantied, since this sounds like a hardware defect.
yup.. I got a problem aftwr trying to put it on my rasp pi 3b plus.. then when i try to check or insert again on my laptop.. my 128 gb.. got hot so quickly.. i think its hardware.. but damn.. i just bought it few days back
I went ahead and took the battery out, when I went to insert it back in to turn it back on, it won't. It just stays off. The battery still had a charge but I ended up plugging it to the charger. The light indication that comes on when charging does not come on. It gets warm but thats about it.
Is my phone completely dead? Only had it since December.

Did you have CWM 5.0.2.6 installed? If so, it does not let you charge it when it is off. You need someone that has an Amaze or Sensation to use their battery, buy the 4EXT app from the Play Store. Flash it and then you wont have to worry about it.
Now time to sleep.

I got it working, figured out the issue. One of the power pins that makes contact with the battery will not fully extend out. You think that would be covered under warranty? Alternatively I could call assurian and say the phone is broken but I would have to pay 100 bucks though.
I have 5.0.2.6 CWM, and I did buy EXT a few weeks ago but anything newer then the 5.0.2.6 or EXT4 and I can not mount my SD card for whatever reason. I tried asking around here but I never get an answer as to why this is.

NO, I meant that I can't mount SD in EXT4, it only mounts internal for whatever reason.
The problem is NOT THE BATTERY, its the pins that's on the phone itself that makes contact with the battery.
Stupid phone won't even turn on anymore. Turned on once briefly and then off and that was it.

HORRIBLE TIMING! I am leaving for texas on Wed, would take atleast 3 weeks for me to get my phone back.
I left it alone for a few hours, now when I plug in the power cord, the orange light just blinks.
Any idea what that means?
I wonder if I can get a loner from a tmobil store. I really need this phone ;/
Just a silly question...
Are you using the cord that came with the Amaze or are you using a 5pin micro USB cord? The Amaze came with a 12pin.. like I said just a silly question.

Other cords wouldn't fit, so not really a relevant question, the question is, what the hell did he do that's causing that, could always get someone else with the device to charge the battery and yes I suggest going to your tmo store and tell them about your problem, they should be able to replace or give you a loaner device once you have insurance or still under warranty.
You said you have cwm 5.0.2.6. That is your problem. That version doesn't allow you to charge it if your phone is off. If your battery is dead, you need to charge it with someone else's phone or use their battery and flash a different recovery.

I remember seeing my battery still having a charge, although I guess I could be remembering wrong. I am going to charge the battery itself using an adapter that came with the Anker battery. I will charge the stock just to be safe and see what happens.
I use the original stock charger to charge my phone and use the adapter to charge my extra batteries. If what you say is true about 5.0.2.6, then I will charge the batteries externally (I haven't charged them in a while) and once the adapter has indicated that it has full battery I will place it back in the phone and see if it turns on.

I feel silly! I charged the battery externally and plugged it in my phone and it worked flawlessly! You sir are awesome!!!
I had no IDEA that 5.0.2.6 could not charge if it was completely drained.
OKAY since you know about this issue, is there a way for me to fix the issue where my EXTERNAL SD card is not being read when I have EXT4 or a newer version of CWM (touch and non touch)? It will read the internal one for whatever reason.

When you choose install from sd card, you'll see in that folder there is a folder name ext-sd, hit that and you'll be on your external sd card. The newer recoveries read the sd card the same way the android OS does now.
Your not understanding what I am saying. There is no way to mount the external sd card. If your unable to mount the ext sd card that folder you mention will not take you to the ext sd card. Only way I can mount the ext sd card is if I use cmw 5.0.2.6. Nothing else works. Newer cmw mounts internal sd and so does ext4 but will not detect ext sd card.

Read back my post on how to get to the external sd card, the sd is mounted and right there, accessing it is just done differently, choose install zip from sd card, when the internal card shows look for the ext_sd folder and open it, once it opens, YOU ARE ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD. Understand?
Yes I understand, tried it again for the sake of argument, I loaded ext4, went into ext sd folder, and all it does it seems to just blinks out as if its going inside the ext sd folder and then nothing, it just shows the contents of the internal SD. Weird. This started happening after I S-Off. I did not have this problem before.
Also, my phone ended up shutting down again. I was on for 10+ hours with and it did not give me any indication that the battery was low. I went ahead and charged the battery externally for a few minutes and inserted it back into my phone. It turned on showing only 4% battery. I then charged it with my htc charger. I woke up this morning to find that it got really warm and but working fine.
Another thing to note, I fully charged my Anker battery externally using wall adapter, when I plugged it in to my phone, it would not turn on. I inserted the HTC battery (with barely a charge) back in and it turned right on.
What do you guys make of that? Bad battery?

Possibly, go into 4EXT, wipe battery stats, full charge the battery then wipe it again, flash a stock ruu via hboot and do a check, see if the problem persist.

Cool, try the stock, clean up thing, let's hope that wipes away the problem.
The problems I have in my SII(Rooted) is very unusual. First is what I have was the micro SD. It was suddenly write-protected. SO what I did, I opened root manager in ES file manager and made it from RO to RW but no difference, it still stays at RO. 2nd is, It only scanned SOME music files in my sd card and phone memory. It was like selected which will be put inside the music player. I did sdrescan but it only worked a bit and when I click to trigger to scan, it didn't work. It only read the other some (Not read) in the music player but still not the whole songs. And my 3rd major problem is my battery. I Did SetCPU and POWERMAX and Easy Battery Saver but the result is just the same. It sucks battery life like crazy. Every Music File I play (2-5 mins) It gets 2 PERCENT of the battery EACH. And only after 10 mins after plugging my phone out of my charger, it's 92 percent from 100 which usually have to be in 100 percent only or 99. This problem ruined also my datas inside my phone. All of my files are missing. Even the wifi passwords. Does anyone know the solution of this problems? The screenshot is my battery history. My battery crazy drain started when I went to a session where there aren't any cell signal. And when I got my phone back after the session it's only 56 from 92. And after that, my phone memory suddenly have 0.00B. Not kidding. My phone doesn't even have virus I checked it and all and I am forced to delete 8 apps. And then after that day my phone went to these problems. Changing to a new battery is not a solution. It's still a same result. And that's what I noticed is that the phone itself is the problem. The drain is going out of control.
seems like your SD card is broken? Can you run an integrity test on it?
Have you tried using your phone without the SD card for a day or two just to see how this affects battery life?
Also a Better Battery stats log would help analyse the source of the problem.
this will delete all your data on your phone (not full wipe)
go to settings>storage>scroll and when you see format sd card click it
Before you do this transport your foto's and important stuff on your pc or cloud storage.
and if this doesn't work try to format your external sdcard on your pc to fat32 i belief good luck!

and for your battery do this:
while your phone is on charge it to 100%
and then go to recover mode and use clockworkmode or other recover mode's with wipe battery state avalible
and power off your phone and charge it to 100% and if it is 100% let it charge for 5 min
now pull your battery out and let your phone rest for 1 hour, and after a hour battery in phone on and hope that it work
I had some unusial battery drain (not so bad as yours) but it helped! good luck one again!
Try formatting you SD card in Fat32 mode via Windows
I got the same problem a years back with my SD card too.
When ever it's in my phone, it will keep in the restart loop, or restart normally then just shutdown itself until i had to remove the battery to on it again, or just shutdown randomly until i need to remove the battery to re-on it.
It even make my song or picture in the card unreadable or read in partial (song with annoying chirping sound, picture with annoying block/mosaic)...
Things get all good, when i just remove the SD card and use the phone without SD card.
I use a Kingmax 16G class 10, even format it into FAT32, scan the card (no bad sector at all)
So i contacted the manufacturer and stated my problem facing, they have no solution but change a new card.
Once the new card is put in, all the problem gone. i was wondering....
May be you can try change your SD card (if you have extra piece) to try it out.
Also I heard try not to use anything higher than class 4, but what makes it true, i'm still looking for the fact.

Hi
I'm having a samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and it's out of warranty. My problem is that it shuts down whenever it is not charging. It is perfectly ok when it is charging but shuts down when it is removed. When it is unplugged it will stay on longer if I turn the power saving mode on but when I turn the data connection on or when I try to call someone, it shows there is no network.The phone turns off if I put in a sim card and an SD card simultaneously, so I'm not using the SD card slot now.
Not a software problem because everything is alright when it's plugged in. I tried changing the kernel, rom but to no use.
Can anyone help me fix my phone. Any help is really appreciated.. Thanks in advance.. :good:
Probably a short somewhere & probably caused by moisture. That's the nature of it, damage occurs very slowly/over a long period of time & there isn't a lot you can do about it.
Start with the obvious/cheap stuff first; clean battery contacts with isopropyl alcohol, then replace battery, then replace USB board - KeithRoss39 has a guide to enable you to do this yourself easily/quickly/cheaply (~US$10).
That's about all you can do easily yourself, from there you'd be looking at replacing the motherboard, but unless you already have the experience with electronics like this, you're going to be paying someone else to do that.
Even though it's more than likely not a software issue, do a completely clean install of stock anyway, because it costs you nothing.

I know it is obvious but - How old is your battery? Have you tried different battery? I would start with this...
