Is there anyone facing the issue of there phone seemingly powering off but its still running and gets really hot ad you can see in the graph (also unable to wake phone up, but i know its on because it takes a good few seconds of holding the power button to turn it back on so to say) WITH CHUNKS OF BATTERY DRAIN!, ive wiped data, all caches, flashed different roms, different kernals formated SD, calibrated the battery, reset the fuel gauge chip, the lot but yet it still happens and draining massive battery percentages? It might happen twice a day, or once every two days... anytime!

Another battery perhaps?

Try using a different battery or calibrate the fuel gauge. Search the forum about it, these kind of threads pop up every other day.

Looks like a lot of ppl are having this problem after going to JB.
I had same issues in my case it was ext sdcard. After changing sdcard everything is fine.
I am having the same issue! Galaxy S2 canadian international version (I9100M) with VirginMobile. I upgraded to stock JellyBean after flashing CM9 to stock ICS in order to upgrade from stock ICS to stock JellyBean via Kies.
When it happends, I can't wake the phone. The battery gets hot. I need to remove the battery in order to reboot. Also, it seems that my device is in a constant reboot cycle. Everytime I power it down it reboots, same goes when I remove the battery and put it back in, no need to touch the power button that the device is already booting. I went from about 70% down to 15%!
I can't post pictures now (seems that I need 10 message to do that).
I tried to remove my external 32gb SDCard. Will report if it changes anything!
Factory reset if you're able to get into recovery.

I noticed my battery appears to have swollen slightly on both sides.
This is a very random thought - what if one something we've flashed (leaked ROM, bad kernel, ?) allowed the battery to be overcharged and has damaged it, or the battery controller permanently? Hence why we're all having problems.
Today my phone wouldn't finish turning on without the charger plugged in, despite saying it had ~25% battery life, it would turn off just after or just before entering the SIMcard unlock PIN.
battery swollen = near battery death

Im also having this same problem with my battery, and I bought a new battery today but it still showed the ridiculous remaining times and even shut down on me again even tho this is a new battery, i changed to JB 4.1.2 when this started happening and i tried reflashing it with official JB through Kies but the problem is still there so it has to be something with the JB firmware itself but what exactly is causing it i dont know.
A lil help with solving this will be greatly appreciated cause it is getting frustrating having a battery at 100% but the time on the battery status shows only (2 - what ever random weird time it has) minutes remaining until it shuts down.

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!

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

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.

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 guys,
I have recently joined xda, have been following it as a guest for quite sometime but never bothered to register but did it finally.
Now to my problem. My Galaxy S II has been facing weird problems lately, first off my phone randomly blinks like its trying to stay on but can't and immediately closes. After I open it the battery has been massively drained for example if I was on 60% battery it goes down to 3%. If I keep it closed for some time and then open it the battery increases without even charging.
The random shutdowns happens if I'm playing a game, it gets hot and closes itself but sometimes it also closes on low usage. I tried every possible way of fixing it but to no avail. I tried switching Roms, flashed stock ICS firmware, tried different root methods, wiped battery stats and calibrated the battery, tried different kernels and all but the problem still persists. I had no problem like this one on my old Galaxy S II.
Do you guys know of any solution to this god forsaken problem? I would appreciate quick answers.

If the shut downs are because of your battery, try flashing siyah kernel, then download ExTweaks from the play store and use the 'reset fuel gauge' option, and just leave your phone for a few hours and let it settle down. Hope this helps

Yeah it needs to settle down, so try resetting the gauge, then leave your phone plugged in over night. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else you could do, sorry.

Hey guys,
I've been searching throughout the web and forums for few days now, and I couldn't find anyone who had a problem like I do.
I have Samsung Galaxy S2 (Eastern Europe model) for year and a half. Originally, it had 2.3.3 firmware, and since I updated it to ICS 4.0.3 few months ago, I noticed that battery life is worse than it was, but more importantly the device started to shut down unexpectedly from time to time...
In past few weeks it started to shut down very often, and usually for few times in a row. Battery was always over 50%, and after it shuts down, when I power it up it says that battery is almost empty and that I should connect it to the charger. When I connect the charger, it continues to charge from 50% (or 80% etc., depending on what percentage was it before it died). Then I thought it was a firmware problem, so I downgraded it to gingerbread again (2.3.5), but the problem remained. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? PLEASE

How did you receive the ics update? Through flashing or kies?
If you receive it by flashing, try booting in recovery mode [Volume Up+Menu Button+Power Button] and wipe data/factory reset.

Hi. I have a very frustrating issue I hope someone can help with.
Over the last 3 days or so, my s2 has started to randomly shut itself down. It only appears to happen when I'm using an app, nothing specific, it can happen anytime.
The battery level has been anything from around 75% to 30%.
Sometimes when I turn it back on, the battery shows I am at 1 or 2 %, making me think it might be some kind of calibration problem, but I've tried the suggested method to no avail. I've also completely fresh installed the Rom I was on (neat Rom) and tried another (disaster Rom) but the problem remains.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing the random shut downs?
Thank you
Karf
Are you undervolting/ under clocking this can cause a sod
Hi. Nothing like that, just used neat Rom or disaster Rom as they come.

Your phone(battery) has insane gauge chip search for this it answer in your question(it's only for battery)
Happy new year
Paulius
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure my issue is to do with the guage chip directly, as my phone will switch itself off at any battery level. The issue designed in the other thread its having something like 56% and then having a much lower value after an intended reboot.
Shutdown it's called sleep of death( scary name) but it not death it's just sleeping forever... it problem with your kernel and battery problem is insane gauge chip...
Happy new year
Paulius
I've just charged to full charge, unplugged - and within 2 minutes, the phone froze, could not do anything - so i pressed the power button until it went off, and it booted back up again without me doing anything - when it booted, it showed i had 2% battery. Then it did the same thing, froze, i had to reboot - then it showed 37% battery.........no idea what's going on apart from maybe a faulty battery...
Buy new battery. It was here on the forum a few times.
Yes. When phone hot(sometimes not) it take battery about 50-60%(I don't know exactly) but sometimes it add battery...
If you flash siyah kernel with stweaks(5 version) you can reset it but chip do funny thing even you reset...
Happy new year
Paulius
try Battery caliberation app ...
if it doesnt work buy a new battery
What are you talking about ? It's not battery Fault it's Insane Gauge Chip.... And Battery Calibration not helping...
I decided to go the whole hog and go back to a stock unrooted ICS, after wiping everything, then CFRoot - then reinstalled Neatrom light - currently restoring apps via Titanium - fingers crossed...
I think you don't have anymore BSOD But if you have flash Syiah kernel
Try new kernel and reset fuel gage
Try installing a new kernel like siyah or dorimanx and then reset your battery log this should resolve your problem if not buy a new battery.

I think I have a very similar issue. The randomly reboots happens several times a day, it does not happen though when charging (never). By now I'm on jb leak and still have the issue. When it shuts down, the sreen dims a bit and then it's gone, the weird thing is that often I have to pull the battery or charge the phone before reboot is possible, the battery shows different values after rebooting, sometimes close to what was before (especially when rebooting on charger), and sometimes way off the values before. I came initially from slimrom with siyah or dorimanx kernel, I really hoped jb leak would help (also tried different kernels), but it didn't. It also seems to me that it happens more often with the sd card (32gb) and without the phone seems more stable, but still it happens from tme to time. Once the screen dim (only one or two steps) and shut down even happend when in CWM recovery, is it maybe hardware related? It's very hard to find the source of the problem, anybody else experience similar issues? By the way the shutdown I have is not a proper shut down, the phone doesn't show the message "is shutting down".
I've completely wiped, used Odin to go back to ics stock, installed cfroot, then installed neatrom light. Had the same issue, so I've installed siyah, and used stweaks to reset the battery fuel gauge. I've only been off charge for 10 mins so far, but normally it would have shut down by now, so here's hoping...

Update - battery was at 89%, and the phone shut down, when rebooted, it showed 28%, then when plugging in while it was shut down, the battery icon showed about 50%. Like a previous reply, it never happens on charge, so it does appear that the battery is knackered, time to go shopping I guess :-\

I had the same problem - SOD several times a day. I change the batery with a fresh new samsung 2000 mA one.
Unfortunatelly SOD came back, but I found a trick: turn off WiFi. Use it only manually.
For the past 3 months I succeded to have 0 SOD's.
I know that manual WiFi is a setback but it works with those experiencing SOD.
Hope it will be usefull.
I upgraded to JellyBean 4.1.2 using the recently released Spanish version. All seemed fine at first, but in the last week or so, the phone has taken to switching itself off without warning. On restarting, it claims to have no battery left, no matter how much was actually remaining. After one or more reboots - or after plugging it into to a charging source, it will revert to normal working, with the previous charge level.
This could be a hardware fault, a failing battery - or could it be a consequence of a flaw in the upgrade process? All suggestion welcome.
Try factory reset, fresh install or another kernel.
Also try searching.

I have had same problem some time ago. Phone was restarting or switching off with no reason. Also weird battery levels.
Restarts and switching off issues has been resolved by changing to different kernel. Reflashing should help too.
Weird battery levels i have sorted out by reseting battery gauge available in STweaks. I did it when phone was fully charged. Then i've discharged it to 0% and charged again. I have no problems since then.

Run the batt till it's off, charge it while it's off till 100%, remove the battery for 90 + seconds, insert batt and you should be fine.

Thanks to all who have replied, also apologies - TheATHEiST, you are right, although I had searched, I obviously didn't do a very good job, as after I tried a second time, I found a thread with many references to this problem and some possible solutions.
It seems that both in this thread and others, any of the possible causes - and any of the claimed successful solutions - may work. So I guess my best plan is to work through them, starting with the least disruptive.
Thanks again - this is without doubt the definitive forum for issues with these phones.
