Hey guy, i was running CM9 nightly from a couple days ago and have been on the cm9 other roms since around mid january.
My phone started bogging down really slow and then i restarted it which took forever and when it finally restarted there was some crap about your device cannot be encrypted and needs a factory reset. So i then went for another reboot to go to CWM to restore a nandroid and it got stuck at splash screen.
I pulled the battery after a while and now i have absolutely nothing and can't even get the screen to turn on. i tried charging all night to see if it had just died to no luck.
Any tips?

Try USb jig
and try charging battery from external charger or a new battery
What u said in op can't brick a phone
Just tried a jig and got nothing on both batteries. i have the phone connected to a charger with the original battery and it's heating up ALOT in the top section near the camera.
I work with someone that has an SII so i might try their battery tomorrow if not i'm at ends with what could possibly have happened
Tried a battery of my workmate and still nothing.
I think the main board may be gone because it's giving me nothing
EDIT: Alirght since no one can seem to help me is there any repairers in australia for the hardware side of things?
So you didn't use stock battery, that maybe busted your phone

Hi all, I have a very serious problem here. Please help me out.
Whenever I am using my phone for more than around 10-15 mins continuously, even though battery is around 80-85%, I lose network all of a sudden, the phone flickers or flashes or blinks for a moment and shuts down all of a sudden. When I try to boot it again, it says battery low and many times, it wont boot only. When it is about to be botted only it gets turned off. the solution is to connect to charger when it shuts down. At first, on connecting, it shows zero battery, and immediately battery level will be restored to the previous level, after blinking again in the charging screen and then only I can turn it on. What is the issue?
I also tried wiping data/factory reset.. Wipe cache and dalvik wipes repeatedly. Tried many roms like resurrection 2.6, 3.01, XWLPM stock rom, Salman ROM, etc. The same issue happens in all the roms as well.
Somebody do reply!

That sounds serious, have you tried sending it to the customer service? It's helpful if you're still on warranty..

well do one thing- try flashing another kernel too- anything will do - siyah maybe. 1% chance of it working..
and if it doesn't, what this means is that it is most probably a hardware issue- and you would need to get your phone checked in the service center.
Have you tried a different battery?

Maybe battery failure! try with a different battery if no change and everything was like before then I suggest you to send it to customer service as soon as possible.
Same thing for Stock
I experienced the same thing on Stock samsung unrooted rom 4.0.3
I suddenly found that my phone is not responding and is heated up too much, I quickly removed the battery and after letting it to cool off restarted it.
Was amazed to see battery came down to 20% from 80%, Post this incident it is working fine
Now I have tried multiple kernels and Roms and it still is working awesomely on everything I throw at it

Thanks for the replies
Turns out its some battery problem. I swapped mine with a friend's battery. He is facing the same issues now and I am not facing any issue. In ebay and flipkart, it shows original battery costs just 559 Rs(around 10$). Is the original battery available for such a cheap price? Or is it not genuine?
It sounds suspiciously cheap.. mmmmm. You should try going for the legit 2000mAh from samsung longer battery life haha so much win

Hi yashwanthms,
Just to let you know, currently I'm facing exactly the same issue.
During or after using camera, gps or usage of data, the screen flickers and then after a few seconds it freezes and shuts down. Switching it on doesn't work, because it thinks the battery is dead while still having 50% left or something like that. It does however work when it is plugged into power.
Thanks for your reply of your battery replacement. I will try the same thing and see if it works out.
Still a question though: did you buy a new battery and what were your results afterwards?
Kind Regards,
Ahsimmis
same issue here
After reading above posts, I'm sure it is a battery issue. I use hotspot and GPS a lot which is why I've to charge a lot and charge while docked to car cigarette lighter too, no wonder the battery didn't last more than a year. Will buy a new battery tomorrow and post the result here.

Like others said, I think it's battery problem. Do not use cheap unreliable batteries, nor leave your phone charging after 100% charged for a long time. This would affect your battery performance. Experienced that using my back-up battery, from 25%, sudden shutdown. My original battery would alert me first "Battery is now low, please recharge now". The back-up won't.
This is to confirm that I've purchased a new battery from Samsung franchise store. It is doing fine.
Cost me Rs.800 which is like $18. The store didn't have any retail battery in stock but they provided me one from one of the phones on display. I'm not sure if I did the right thing by taking it but I needed one badly and none of the stores I went to had any in stock for retail (there are like 15 of them in a 2km radius)
This is happening to both mine and my wife's Galaxy S II's. Screen flickers, shuts down, comes back with zero battery, plug it in to charge for a few minutes, suddenly back to ~80%. I've also found the phone is hot when this happens, pulled the battery and its NOT the battery that is hot, the phone itself is (feels hottest right below the camera, just above the battery port).
I ordered a replacement battery for her and it cleared the issue for about 2 weeks but now its happening again. The replacement was a genuine Samsung OEM, same maH, same part number.
My phone is rooted with a custom ICS kernel, her's is factory ICS.
I've ordered a new battery for my phone too to try, but I'm not convinced its solely a battery issue.

I have the same problem, change the battery with new one but still it happens & I am afraid it may be hardware!
Phone is not root & running official rom 4.0.4
I have changed battery and now it works ok. But yesterday, the phone freezed and became very hot. I rebooted it and then the battery level decreased high. After that it works ok again.
same problem
hi there,
I am having the same problem as on the OP. Have already ordered a new battery, because my warranty expired on sep 15th and I was on holidays outside my city and without the invoice
do you have any feedback about changing the battery?
thanks.
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
(move it when it's plugged into the phone

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100
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,
So last night I was using my optimus g, the notification that my battery was too low came up, and the phone shut off. After that I went to charge my phone and the usual red light did not come up around the power button and the phone will not charge. There is no water damage or sudden incident that could have caused this to happen. AT&T will not replace the phone due to a small scratch on the front of the screen done a couple months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get my phone to charge and turn on again??
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
have you tried to hold the power button down for like 10 seconds? try a different plug outlet and plug it in and see what happens
If you can't get it working then send it in to LG since AT&T won't help you.
Have you tried a different charger? Tried usb charging? Somewhere in this forum are instructions for removing the back case and battery. Two others had similar problems and removing the battery helped.

Yeah, I tried a lot of different chargers, USB charging and different outlets. I will have to try to remove the battery i guess. AT&T told me that I could not have LG repair it because it has a small crack in the bottom left that I made a couple months prior to this happening. Do you know how to get to the thread about removing the battery? I cant seem to find it =/
Anyone have any other ideas?
Here's the thread for accessing the battery btw.

If that doesn't do the trick then replacing the damaged portion of the phone and then claiming warranty would probably work, especially since it's already bricked and you don't have to worry too hard about it not turning on again after you reassemble it because again, it's already bricked probably a whole lot cheaper than buying a new one off contract.

The only problem is that the crack is on the front class screen, and I have heard that the screen is hard to replace
Before you open it up and go fiddling around on the inside, try these (in order):
1. Hold down your power button for at least 15 seconds.
2. Plug in your charger
3. (If that doesn't work) Use a different outlet/adapter.
4. If all else fails, try the 15 second power button thing and then connect it to your computer.
My Nook Tablet's display wouldn't work once and it took me the better part of a week to figure out that holding the power button down for 10+ seconds manually turns it off (I was a noob). (I then plugged it into my computer instead of the charger and it powered on!) A lot of people forget to try the simple things first...

Ok, let me rephrase that. A new one is $450. You can get a screen/digitizer for ~$85. I'm not a math whiz but to me the difficulty is worth saving that much cash.
download mode
it could be a software problem try going into download mode (holding vol down and power then plugging it in at the same time) it may take a couple trys but if you can get into that then it could possibly be a software issue maybe its a prob with bootloader if it is try useing some teenybins somthing similar happened to me i unlocked the bootloader and everthing got better post back if you can get into download mode
I too have started having problems charging this phone when it goes all the way down which it does fast usually listing android operating system or my screen as the main culprit....try booting to bl then recovery and clearing cache and dalvic....I use twrp recovery and there no battery stat wipe function but in rom toolbox pro there is although the merits of such is questionable.....I also used a battery calibration app recently and it seemed to help... I've also had to plug it up and just leave it for a while whether it's convenient or not it works....???
I've wondered about awesome kernel cleaning script... As well as some of the battery saving apps in conjunction with Eco mode and power saver function.... I've used juice defender ultimate for a while and recently battery guru from Qualcomm and Antutu but same crash today leaving phone down 2 hours plus easily not to mention getting stuck in power save popup warning viscious cycle of popping up every keystroke is gonna get this device slammed up against a wall and I don't want to replace it but any help on this also appreciated....

Have you tried another USB cable? :silly: I stopped using USB cords ever since my grandpa got a wireless charger (yes, my grandpa ) but you better be careful with those since not all of them are compatible with LG phones, check the reviews and device compatibility, mine is a Powermat 3X
im having the same problems too... using the latest cyanagen mod... the battery just doesnt hold the charges like it says and shuts off.. i need this phone as an alarm......

I have this problem now, and can't get it to work. Anybody figure it out?
So there seems to be a desease of optimuses
My phone was charging while I was sleeping, and I accidentaly putted my hand on my phone while I was sleeping, and the phone was seriusly hot! I got up, upluged the phone from the charger, let it cooldown, plug it in on another charger, the phone responded in the first place, but the red flashing light was coming up really quickly. I switched it of and on and now it is showing me the battery that is shown when the device is charging. Been doing this charge for like an hour or more, with varius attempts to switch it on but it still it wont switch on! Any tips or anything? I am going to leave it charging for a coupe of hours and see if I have any results...
My phone started having issues where it would randomly shut off and sometimes holding power for approx 20 seconds or so would turn it back on or other button combinations sometimes requiring me to force download mode. I have always been able to force it back on however previously when plugged into a charger the notification light wouldn't do anything.
It shut off yesterday and I have tried every combination of buttons for at least 30 seconds, including trying to force download mode with volume up and down and USB into computer and nothing. The difference this time every time I plug it in the notification light either is solid or pulsing rapidly and will not turn on or go to download mode.
Phone is rooted running paulicats aosp and has been since I got the phone 3 months ago, it was dropped in water the week I got the phone but was disassembled and cleaned that day with no issues until this last week.
Any help or input is greatly appreciated

Hello. i have a uk galaxy s3 and after i updated a few apps two days ago it started to lag a bit and freeze. now today it just turned off and wont turn back on.
The phones screen wont turn on or nothing comes on the screen when charging and the pc wont recognise it and there is no notification light on to say its charging (i dont know if it has a charging light when turned off though)
I think the firmware was 4.1 and it was rooted but i never put anything on there.
I have read that i should try holding down the power and volume keys but it still doesnt work.
is there anything i can do?
You can try taking it to the service center

How would i find my nearest service center? or would it be better to take it to the phone shop i got it from?
trying a different battery has a very slim chance of working, you can do that.
you'd be better off taking it to the service center if you have the official samsung warranty

i read that it will still turn on without a battery if you have it plugged into the wall. is this true because i tried that and it wont turn on.
that's not true
Also because it wont turn on and maybe bricked could they find out its rooted? becuase i doubt carphone warehouse or samsung (whoever i end up sending it to to be fixed) will fix it if they find out
