[Q] I'm afreid I might lose my phone. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, thanks for caring.I have tried to solve these problems my self but I coulden't. I have two problems, but I want to tell you what happend before so you know the soure of the problems. A while ago I was srufing the net and I found a stock version of ICS for my regon. I installed it and rooted it and it was fine every thing is working no issue. after five month -now- I installed root browser lite and did a search then left my phone on the table. when I got back the phone was heated I close the app and tried to cool it down with my hands after a minute or so the screen shows horizontal lines on the half top of the screen for less then a second and went off. I pulled the battey and waited for a while then trun it on it work for a minute and a agine horizontal and off. I stard the phone in in CWM and restored my back up. It worked fine but I felt it need to wipe data and factory reset. Here is my problems
1. After useing the phone for more then 10 minute or more it gose off and when I tune it on it back to nornal.
2. The battery is weired, if i let my phone with out use it's fine but when I turn it off and turn it on agine the battey is 10 or less -not always-
( sometime when my phone is 0% percent I plug it on charger and it show thired of the battery is green.)
THESE PROBLEMS APPER EVEN THOUGH I INSTALL THE ROM AGINE WITHOUT THE ROOT.
Thanks for your patient I know it is long but I tried to include everything.

If it's not the battery, it's the kernel.
Tell us more about your device's info (model, rom, kernel, etcetera).

model GT-I9100
Baseband version I9100XXLPW
Kernel version 3.0.115-I9100JPLPC-CL537255 [email protected] #3
Android 4.0.3
Build number IML74K.JPLPC
is this what you need?
"OMG!!! Just realized I've got an SII Plus! oh...wait...I've got more Internal Space, nevermind, still got an SII."
I LOVE IT LOL

You are good, charge the battery till 100%. Flash siyah's kernel and see how it goes.
You can flash siyah with Mobile Odin, no pro version required.
"OMG!!! Just realized I've got an SII Plus! oh...wait...I've got more Internal Space, nevermind, still got an SII."

The kernel is stock and it was fine before.
any way I found Siyah kernel S2-v5.0.1 should I go for that or there is a specific one you recommend?
Thanks you helped me a lot.

I installed Siyah kernel S2-5.0.1 and the problems are still there. I just tested my phone to see if it's work. I opned a game and play for 8 or 9 minute battery was 62% then my phone gose off. I tried to turn it on but I couldn't I plug it in charger and turn it on battery 33%. what is wrong?
someone please help me!

I think your right. thanks for your help. you people can close this subject.

I HAVE FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IT WAS THE ROM.
I don't know what wrong with it. Any way I reinstall the stock kernel and flashed Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (Spain) and everything is GREAT. I'm so happy; I solved it!​

Never seen that coming.
Glad you pulled it off

[Q] Galaxy S II doesnt shut down (gets stuck while shutting down,not rebooting)

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

SGS2 bootloop! Help!

Hi guys! First off, I know this sounds like a common problem, but I've looked through several times and haven't found a solution yet.
I have a SGS2, came as 2.3.3 stock but upgraded a while back to 2.3.5 through Kies. It was working perfectly for as long as I remember.
About a month ago the battery started acting weird going from 80% to 20% in no time, heating up too, I do remember dropping the phone once during this period, but it was nothing (just thought I should include this, also, I usually leave the phone plugged into the charger overnight as I do not have a power source at work (i work outdoors) i probably need a battery replacement)
The screen brightness would sometimes flicker and then POOF! The phone shuts off...At first this would happen at any activity, nothing specific, BUT, I have noticed that it intensifies with the Facebook app.
Anyways, usually plugging the phone back into the charger and powering it up would bring it back online, but not this time. It would get stuck looping the animation of the 'S' at the beginning and no booting up. I have a valid warranty card which I'm guessing will get the phone either fixed or replaced but I need help to try to salvage whatever info I can get my hands on, preferably everything, but my memos are most important to me.
Thanks for the help!

Weird. It shouldn't boot loop. You sure your version is GT-I9100 and not GT-I9100G? Since I'm in Riyadh, the latest version for GB here (Saudi Arabia) was JPKJ2, but that's for GT-I9100, dunno about the G version.

okay so with the help of a friend and this awesome forum, i managed to install cwm, from there i could take a nandroid backup, but i cant mount the phone as a drive or anything to copy the files, and i'm guessing i cant use this backup i just took to restore later because it'll just get me stuck at the same place im at now
i read that i can use unyaffs to extract files from the resultant backup image, so my question is, before i do a wipe, is there any other method through which i could get a backup of my stuff? the things i would very much like to get a copy off are my messages/notes/whatsapp history and pretty much anything really
thanks for the help!

Galaxy S2 turns off

Since a few days my GS2 (rooted) turns off after rebooting.
When I change battery or put it to the charger phone will turn on, but will shut off after a servable time (time varies).
I tried different Roms but all do the same.
Also chancing battery doesn’t solve the problem (its firmly placed even laying down on the table it happends(.
I`m running 4.04
even when the phone isn`t warm I do have the problem.
Please how can I solve this

All of this started when you rooted your device?
What ROMs have you flashed?
Try JB leak, if you still have problems there you could be talking hardware.
No the Phone was rooted a while de ago.
I was ussing CM 10

I was experiencing random shutdowns myself on 4.0.4, it did not matter which version (Orange Branded or LQ5) so I flashed the 4.1.2 Spanish version of JB and now the phone is a lot more stable. No reboots.

you need to check in CM10 thread whether any other user faced similar issue.
check is there any app which is eating the battery if so uninstall and check. there are many threads available on battery issue feel free to search
Ive had the same problem with a S2 on 4.0.4. When wifi was turned on, the phone would randomly lock up. While it appeared that it was shutdown it was still draining battery but didn't respond to any button except when holding the power button for a prolonged time to restart the device.
However since Ive been running the the OTA JB update for around a week now the problem seems to be gone. Are there more people who had this particular problem and had it fixed with the JB update?
Flashing firmware always helps.
Factory Reset is also helpful (4.0.4's brick bug present, so read before you wipe).
@op either factory reset or go stockland.

[Q] Galaxy s3 screen stuck on black screen when idle

Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

You flashed an international i9300 Rom on to your AT&T 9300, they are different phones, and you are in the wrong forum

[Q] Galaxy s2 soft bricked with low storage

Alright then. Description of my problem first I guess. I was not at home and running out of battery on my S2, but play store asked me to update some application so I agreed. After this I got the message that my phones internaly storage was running low, and keep in mind that I had near to no battery life (like 5%) and was not near any sort of charge point. I tried to access the applications page, to delete some apps that I never used and when I did my phone randomly and crazily got stuck and switched off. I'm assuming it somehow drained the 5% battery life I had left.
I got home thinking I could just switch on my phone and delete some applications that I wasn't using...that was 2 days ago...I can't even get past the samsung splash screen. It goes on a horrible boot loop and I've just about tried everything apart from hard resetting and I don't want to do that as I haven't backed my phone up recently...
If anyone knows any other methods, could you please please help? I would really appreciate it if I could keep my files and just enter my phone to delete a couple applications...which I'm assuming is the problem.
What have you tried? What firmware do you have? More info would be nice :thumbup:

yay for quick replies. I have tried cold booting, and soft resetting...I also went into recovery and cleared the cache partition to see if it would help and so far nothing... I have absolutely no idea what firmware I have and I have no idea how to check. I never tried to root my phone or install other roms.
OK so if you have no idea what firmware you was on don't reset Cuz if you was on 4.0.4 kiss good by to your phone. Was it ICS or jb? Do you know this? Pull battery out leave for a bit "5 mins" and try again. If that don't work and your not sure on firmware you need Odin to replace firmware yes data will be lost. Can you get to download mode?
