Hi guys,
My battery life was getting shorter and shorter. So, I decided to buy me a new battery. I tried the battery and my phone turned on with the green charging battery.
As I turned my phone on when it was filled 100%, my phone gets stuck at the beginning (black screen Samsung galaxy blabla with the yellow triangle)
I thought this was weird so I started it in recovery/download and this does work.
After choosing for reboot I got the omega rom loading GIF, and suddenly I got KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE.
I decided to try a battery from a friend (also Gt-i9100). This battery just worked in his phone so why shouldn't it work with mine.
As I tried it, I first got the message battery too low. But the battery was full in my friends phone. So I tried again, also stuck at the beginning screen.
To make it even more stupid: My friends phone wont boot either after I used his battery.
As I was really tired of this sh*, I decided to put my old stupid battery back in my phone so I could use it for +- 6 hours a charge.
Now my phone is stuck at the beginning with all the 3 batteries.
I tried to re-flash my omega rom, but it's still the same issue.
Is there something going on with my kernel? I thought I could erase the battery stats, but thats not a option in this CWM.
I'm really stressed, because like all of you, I need my phone every day.
Do you guys have any advice, tips or sollutions for my/our problem?
Searching and reading the topics that already discuss the points you made would be a start. :good:
Kill the phone, it's evil.
Regards.
Mark Battery.

Maybe there is something faulty with the battery inferace of the phone or maybe you're just unlucky. I don't understand why your friends phone wouldn't boot after you used the battery - that doesn't make any sense - but either way, I'd order a new battery from a reputable retailer, if it stops working again in a similar way then get the phone fixed/replaced.
My suspicion is that it's either a fault with the phone or that there is something you're not telling us. I can't see how the battery (hardware) could cause your ROM (software) not to work unless the link between the battery and phone is damaged, in which case you need to replace the phone.

Hi guys. Today when I was trying to charge my GS2, there was popup said 'battery disconnected'. I've tried to take out the battery for a few minutes, but the problem has not been solved. I am running checkromv4 and siyah kernel right now, just updated to siyah 2.6.12 last night. Can anyone help me? BTW, I am using the stock battery.
Are you able to charge it ? If you are (even tho this probably won't make a difference, but it might), charge it to 100% & delete battery stats in RedPill Recovery.
If this doesn't work (probable), try an earlier build of Siyah. If that doesn't help, go back to stock firmware & see if you can reproduce the problem. If you have no problems with stock, then it would obviously be a problem with that build of Siyah or your rom.
If you still have the problem running stock firmware, it would probably indicate a problem with the battery or something else hardware related. Perhaps try another battery. Failing that, back to Samsung/your telco for repair.
just take out the battery again this afternoon for ten minutes, and the problem seems like sloved so far. I can charge now, but have to take a try tonight. Thanks for your help.

This is an old thread, but I recently had this same problem with my Galaxy Note i717. After worrying about it for awhile and searching to find this thread, I took my battery out and examined it, and of the three terminals, the middle one had a piece of plastic broken off of the battery, covering the terminal. So the phone was getting power, but apparently couldn't communicate with the battery, and so for its own safety, wouldn't let me charge
Hopefully this helps someone else!

EDIT: Also I tried charging to 100%, and clearing the stats etc, to no avail.
battery disconnected simple fix
pull out the battery take a 12v battery of your car or UPS touch the terminals -+ to your phone's -+ as - to - and +to+ remember just two or three times kisses only . now put battery back in phone Done....
First....why revive a thread that no one has visited in over 3 years.....
And second.......seriously? Connect a high capacity 12 volt source directly across the phones battery terminals?
To whoever reads this.....
DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THIS.....
It is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and incredibly stupid to even *think* of doing it. It WILL destroy your device and it will likely cause you to suffer burns and possibly start a fire.....

Recently I notice my I717 is shutting down randomly, and experiencing battery issues. For example I can be running any app or browsing the web or whatever and the phone fully shut down without notice. In the past I recalled the phone least prompting me with a message a saying phone powering off. It also take 2-3 tries of holding power button phone vibrate before come back on. when I finally get phone to power on it say 15% battery life. This where it get strange, reboot phone again, and it now say 87% charge. WTF is what I'm thinking, it jump 72% battery life after reboot. Also its not my ROM cause I try 3 different 4.2.2 custom roms, and went back to an 4.0.4 custom rom. Still same problem, any insight would be helpful thanks in advance.
I think I may have gave her Whiplash the way I pulled my Big Black.........GALAXY NOTE out!
Signature is uncalled for ........but maybe try wiping your phone completely ...internal and android secure ....and do a CLEAN install

Battery dead.
Remove your battery and check if it´s deformed, like thicker than the original battery.
Replace it and your good. You don't need to waste your time on clean install etc.
I have had same problem in two differet phones. In both occasions the reason was dead battery.
Hey Folks,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-i777) that I used a couple of years ago. It was my first Android phone and I loved it very much (until corporate made me an iSheep).
The phone was retired to a shoe box for the last 1+ years and I recently dug it up so I could get it set up for my little bro who somehow recently fell on his phone with it in his pocket and shattered the screen (don't ask... I don't get it either).
Anyways long story short -- the phone sat idle for a long time, when I pulled it out it wouldn't boot up at all. Assumed that the battery had discharged so I plugged it in to see if it would start up. The battery logo would intermittently flash on the screen and show a drained battery logo but even letting the phone sit for a day did not provide me any results.
Fast forward 3-6 months. Today I replaced the charging board thinking that there was some issue with the USB connector on the phone that was preventing it from getting power. Once that was done I discovered that I was able to get the phone to boot into Odin mode. Great! No boot, no recovery, but download mode seemed to be better than nothing.
I have tried, in vain, to flash stock firmware to this phone via Odin, and even though all indicators point to it being successful, once I finish the Samsung logo comes up on the screen, goes off and that's it. I can see the 4 LEDs on the buttons at the bottom of the phone flash every 5 seconds as well as a faint flicker on the screen staggered between the LED flashes.
Looking for any further suggestions as to what I may be able to try. I have searched various sources on XDA and other sources but I haven't quite found anything that matches my exact symptoms.
Furthermore, I can't be sure what Kernel/ROM I was last running on this phone. Maybe Siyah kernel, maybe CM 10,1 with Flux kernel. Idk.
Any input is appreciated!
Seems I should mention this other detail --
With the battery in, I cannot get into download mode -- it just states 'Low Battery!! Can't Download!!" This is presumably due to the fact that the battery is completely discharged -- maybe incapable of holding a charge but perhaps this is indicative of a more serious hardware failure.
I'd guess the battery is completely shot.
I bought a replacement battery from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111014533334?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
No problems with it.

Very likely --
Since you got me to shift focus here, a quick search is telling me that it won't boot without a battery due to a feedback circuit. This would explain the ability to go into download mode but the lack of boot / flashing LEDs I guess.
Can someone confirm?
If the phone was working normally when it was put away, I would expect it to be working normally when it was pulled it back out. Your story is a little confusing, but did you ever try booting the phone with a fully charged battery? In the circumstances you describe, that would be the first logical trouble shooting step. And if you haven't tried that, then it is still the next logical trouble shooting step. Also, you can't assume that the original battery that you left in the phone is still able to hold a charge. It still may be good, but you can't assume that for testing purposes. Incidentally, the battery should have been pulled from the phone before it was put away.
I do not get any indication that the original battery is actually charging. Charging icon just flashes on the screen briefly in between LED and screen flashes (again, presumably due to the battery being completely dead/incapable of holding a charge since I left it in the phone this entire time).
I guess I'll go ahead and buy another battery and see what happens.
It is my understanding then that this phone will not boot on the charger without battery due to a feedback circuit. Correct?

Even if the battery is good, but fully discharged, it may not charge in the phone. You would have to have an external charger. Phones are not consistent, and many phones probably would charge a fully discharged battery, but I have seen a number of people report that a fully discharged battery would cause the exact same behavior as you report. If it were mine, I wouldn't throw the battery away yet.
If you know anyone with an I777, you could borrow their fully charged battery for a few minutes just to see if your phone will boot.
You are correct that the phone will not boot on the charger when the battery is out, although you should be able to successfully flash firmware through Odin with the battery out, and the computer supplying the power, but still, as far as I know, it will not boot after the flash without a working battery.
The battery was indeed at fault. Ordered a new one on Amazon, popped it in and voila -- we're up and running.
Thanks for the input guys! Much appreciated!
So, I recently received my dad's old Galaxy S2. Stock JB, unrooted. My dad used to charge the phone in his car and during office time, whereas I've always been an "overnight" charger (keep this in mind as it's important). So, here's what happened -
1. I woke up really late the next day and realised that the alarm clock hadn't rung. checked out the phone beside me to see that it was really hot. The phone had shut down by itself. I turned it on and it functioned normally. That day I rooted the phone using PhilZ (mainly for the adfree app)
2. I didn't do an overnight charge for the next night cause my dad told me that "it ruins the battery". And the phone was fine the next morning. I changed to dorimanx's kernel for all the wonderful extra features.
3. That night, I decided to try overnight charging once again. Woke up the next day to a shock. It was 10am! No alarm, hot phone. I thought the phone had just shut down again, so i tried to switch it on. It showed the samsung boot screen and then the pretty "dorimanx" screen, but then.. stuck. the device wasn't starting, but recovery was working. I removed the battery, I wiped the cache, I installed another kernel (siyah)... nothing worked. FInally, I decided to try flashing a new rom. Downloaded SlimKat and flashed it through CWM. The device then booted up and has been working quite normally now. And I like SlimKat much more than stock! But that's not the point. The point is, I'm scared of charging overnight again.
None of my previous phones have faced this problem. I'm just a noob, but I have a theory. I noticed that the phone, once it reaches 100%, doesn't give any indication that it has stopped charging (like most phones do). The charging icon on the battery still shows. Does this mean that the phone is still trying to charge even after the full battery, which is causing the overheating and shutdown of the phone? I'm still confused regarding why it refused to boot up.
Is this a battery/device problem, or was this merely due to some fault in the stock rom?
You were actually stock in a boot loop (which has happened to me before(hated it). Be glad that it didntt freeze at the Samsung logo. Because then you couldn't get into the CWM.
I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your phones battery, because I have never had this problem myself, so I am sorry I can help you with that. Try going to settings/battery and see if you can turn sound on for the battery from there. :thumbup:

Given the age of the battery it's likely to be the battery, so replace that first. Could also be the USB board, but cross that bridge when you come to it (try the easier option first).
Your old man is wrong about charging - constant charging/discharging like he did for however long is far more likely to reduce a battery's useful life than a simple use the phone during the day charge once overnight arrangement.
Hi guys, I'm looking for some help for my girlfriends S3. I have experience flashing many different types of android phones but this one is turning out to be a real pickle. I'll give you all the whole story so you can understand.
A couple days ago she said her phone battery was dying at an alarming rate, she would unplug at 100% and almost 30mins later it would be at 65%. Obviously I suspected a wakelock and I was right, Android System (or one of the android things) did indeed keep her phone awake for about 8hrs (end of the day) Yesterday when she tried to charge the phone an error message saying that the phone or battery was to hot and charging was not possible so her battery died. I got a spare from my cousin but this one has been lying idle for about a year.
When I try charging the battery with the phone off it indicates that it is almost full, when I try to start the phone the samsung logo comes up and I can see her home screen for about a second and then the phone switches off. Keep in mind that I can not start the phone with just the battery in it, it must be plugged in.
Here is the kicker too, she knows nothing about rooting, flashing etc. but on her phone I did see as if someone tried to install root (I'm not sure which method it is but someone definitely tried, maybe one of her nephews) A while back the phone getting another wakelock and I did a regular system reset hoping that everything would be wiped. The root file/app was still on the phone :/
Fast forward to yesterday when I said I'll try actually flashing the phone with odin. The sticker on the back says i9300 but when I go into odin mode I see the phone is a T999 and that the counter is 3. I ignored this and proceeded to reflash the i9300 recovery but presto I can't get into recovery mode anymore. I did download the T999 recovery also and I will flash that today and see if it works. So a couple questions:
1) Is this phone a i9300 or a T999
2) Is something wrong with the phone, given that the other battery does not start the phone or is it that battery has a problem as well.
3) How is it that she knows nothing about flashing but the binary counter is on 3.
Any help will be appreciated guys. Today I'll go to the store and see if I can get another battery and if the phone would boot.
No ideas, same here. I'm going to change out the entire motherboard with another.
Interesting development, went to swap around boards and guess what, the i9300 is actually a T-999. The i9300 board does not fit into my girlfriends phone. I know this because my cousin does have an i9300 and his board cannot fit into my girls chassis, several soc's are not even in the same place. Just goes to show, be careful where you guys buy phones and other electronics from.
