Battery & Power off problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
While I do off the cell phone, it opens itself again as if I restart.
Also, the battery symbol on the up left side flashing until around 50%.
Does anyone know why these things happen?
Thank you.

Try to take off battery some time and also check the connection for dust etc.
Press the powerbutton some seconds (without battery).
Now do battery in again restart and see what happens now.
Is same prob u can try to reset phone (if no root and custom rom) or reflash Rom again maybe with full wipe. BACKUP BEFORE.
Much success at all.

Just look for dust and clean it without water or kind of it for sure!
Hmm really strange at all.

Sounds like the battery itself might be having issues. You could try with another one.

Can't turn it on

Hi guys,
three days ago I installed Darkyrom HD on my mates Galaxy S2, everything went smooth. But 10 minutes ago he called and said that the phone woudn't turn on!
He says he can't get response out of it. No recovery or hard reset with nor without battery in.
Don't hope it's perma bricked and it seems weird that it suddenly wont turn on.
Any ideas/help?
Thanks a lot.
At the same time press volume up + home button + power on to enter CWM.
Is his battery charged?

Does it get a response if holding down the power button for 8-10 sec? This will essentially reboot the phone regardless of what state it is in. If your buddy's been hit with the "sleep of death", this will boot the phone. Though I think this is a low probability if he tried pulling battery and putting it back.
Does it get a response if plugging it into the AC adapter? On the off chance the battery is completely dead. I'd like to think he tried this, though.
Has he tried another battery? Could be the battery lost the ability to hold a charge. Not common, but not unheard of either.
Doesn't seem to help. But I've told to let it charge the night and try again.
Any particular this happens? Seems random that it suddenly wont turn on.

Any particular reason? Sure. Most often, because the user installs something or flashes something they are not supposed to, to their phone. Or dropped it in water.

I wasn't trying to say YOU installed or flashed something. Maybe he did. Can I assume the phone was working when you gave it back to him? And that it was working fine for the three days after? Or was the phone in YOUR possession until he called you today?
I haven't had phone since i installed it. But I honestly don't think i he flashed anything.
He went out to jog - phone worked (listening to music)
He came home and placed the phone on the table - Phone worked
He did some exercises and when he came back - phone all black, can't get any response

You said he tried a battery pull? And no response after replacing battery?
Sure his battery is just not dead, bit odd if it had been working and suddenly this happens.
Most cases an app or something can cause the phone to restart, or freezes, usually a hard reset solves this by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.
Or entering recovery mode, or download mode just to ensure they are working.
Make sure he can charge the battery.
If all fails you may need to try a jig.

Hmm. Try a different battery. If that doesn't work, warranty time.

If not you will need to reflash to stock rom as warranty void with root or custom rom ..
JTag may be your next step .

try to get into download mode (vol. down, home and standby button) then you can flash a firmware

It wasn't the battery. But we've found someone that can repair it for 25 pounds + shipping. So if the USB jig doesn't work, it's going to them!

[Q] Phone will not turn on.

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

I was trying to take a video when it happened. could it be the rom. btw i took it to att and the lady plugged it into her charger and bingo. I am going to flash back to stock. I have been having sdome bugs lately. my phone will randomly make that noise that it makes when you plug it in. and than it has been freezing as well. Could it be the rom? is the buggy issues the battery? I mean it seems like no rom i flash is stable for me and there is severe battery drain too. Any ideas?

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?

[Q] galaxy s2 won't come or charge

i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.
Dude, try to use commas, please.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

May be many S2 devices have this problem. And I had too. It 's often hardware related problem. After reparing it 's ok. But firstly, try to clean charging port, if it does not resolve, bring it to service care.

My Vibrant turns off with a tap

So one day my phone decides to not turn on. No clue what happens, pull it off the charger, then nothing. I try to flash stock hoping that would help but it would go into download mode or even acknowledge the fact that it's plugged in. After repetitively removing and putting back in the battery then plugging it in to get into download mode, I finally do it. I think the very first time I flashed to stock it just turned off halfway through. I kept flashing stock a bunch until it finally worked. I boot up, but it won't complete a full boot. I flashed stock again and here I am. It is perfectly capable of making a full boot, but tapping it with a medium amount of force immediately shuts off the phone. I checked and cleaned the battery contacts- nothing. But that was the only cause I could think of. I've tried other batteries and it's the same. I don't know what to do. I don't know why it's doing this. Any ideas? What can I do to fix it?
maybe a wire or some thing to do with you're power button has came loose.

How would I check for that? I've taken it apart many times. I took it apart recently as well, and everything seemed fine
I would check to make sure everything is plugged in securely and if possible adb logcat while tapping the screen to see what the out put of the log. it may take a while to pin point the problem but honestly I don't remember how I fixed that issue its been so long I forgot.

My S2 doesn't boot anymore

I was using my phone normally yestarday night,reading whatsapp messagges...then i had a freeze and no reason by touching screen and pressing physical button.
Tried a long press on power button and rebooted but stucked on 1st boot logo....tried another reboot but the phone didn't show the logo,and further more I cannot go in download mode and recovery.
I'm on 4.4.4 ,rooted..slim saber and gustavo kernel.
Any solution? or have I to get a new phone?
did you try to take the battery out for a moment to be sure that your phone is off, or maybe another battery? freezing may take a lot of power, so as booting the phone, so it can drain all the energy out of your battery.

tried to take out battery and no reason..also tried while carching and many hours later..but nothing to do..i feel the phone warm on the back side ,neither the charging icon appear..it seems to be definitely dead
I guess that some part got damaged, doesn't sound like a software problem...
The motherboard is gone..if I change it,can I restore all my data from the device (i mean not sdcard abviously) ?
