So here is the story. When I first flashed the CM10 nightly in late January onto my GP 5.0, it was just great. But there was a reoccurring problem. When I try to charge it, it either discharges or charges very slowly (about 12 or 13 hours, not kidding). This problem came up again last week, and now I have a new problem. My GP won't connect to my home wi-fi, but it connects to all other wi-fi networks I have to use. It says it is connected to the network but it wont "load" the internet. All my other devices in our new house we moved into today (including the TiVo) connect just fine with no problems. And today when I tried charging it again Battery widget went from saying "charged in 28 minutes" to "charged in 5 days". This isn't the first time it did the 5 day thing to me but it usually goes away by now, on my GP the entire rom is now falling apart with multiple issues popping up over and over.
I tried:
Re-flashing
Re-flashing backup of stock rom then re-flashing CM10
Factory reset
Cache Clear
Davalik cache clear (what is that anyway?)

Hi Guys, got a Problem.
I've got my S2 now for about 4 Months. Normally the battery holds about one day possibly 2 days with about 4-8 hours of phoning. Now the last week when i began to flash infusion rom with different modems, my phone first day holds the battery about 10 hours, next day 8 hours. I flashed the Criskello Rom tested again, again 8 hours. Then this weekend it holds the battery about 4 hours and while calling, the phone doesn't respond to anything, or sometimes the display keeps on, only holding the power button let's it restart. While charging i'm not able to start the phone, the charging symbol displays but when pushing the power button it restarts only to the battery charging symbol. first after unplugging the charger i'm able to boot. Android OS is 52 Minutes in 3 hours now. But i'm not able to locate where's the problem. every time i flash a new rom i format everything, data, cache, dalvik , system etc..... sometimes when i'll have to restart the phone very often and put the charger into it, it displays my battery with a temperature warning 80-100° C
Today i ordered a new battery while hoping the battery is dead, but really no other idea.....
and another effect i was wondering is suddenly the display lights up, goes off and then keeps lightening.....
and what i was wondering is that since this moment the phone doesn't connect to usb. when i put in the usb plug it starts loading but when i remove the plug it keeps loading with having power.....
No one an answer???
Personally I'd revert to full stock, wiping all and see if it's still acting questionably.. If so, choose your kernel/rom combinations more carefully..
Also I had some battery warning issues when my usb pin got slightly bent, weirdly. Check that out.
today i wiped nearly everything including emmc sdcard and flashed oxygen and the handy works. but android os is at 5 hours of 2 hours runtime.... so it uses the complete cpu time of both cpus fulltime. now i bought a new akku now the handy works better but android os is at the same....
Sorry i fail to understand the problem as posted .
When you flash multiple roms etc you need to recalibrate the battery .
But this looks like a service centre job .

Well I think I've created a disaster here.. sorry for the long story... It's been a LONG day.
I thought it was a cool idea to switch from the HD7 unlocked on Wind Mobile to Telus Mobility just to get the Titan. So I bought an AT&T Titan on eBay, unlocked it, got setup with Telus and was ready to roll..
Everything appeared to be going smoothly and as soon as I popped in the Telus sim card it read 4G on my screen, data worked great, voice calls perfect and I was smooth sailing.
Well just when I had to setup my phone to 99% completion ONE stubborn XBL game refused to install (PvZ). Kept asking me to retry or check my data connection even though I was on wi-fi.. So I cancelled it and retried about 10 times with no luck. Finally I gave up and did a soft reset. Well the phone stuck on "goodbye" for more than 5 min so I pulled the battery. Turned it back on at it sat at the HTC screen and would not boot past it. I pulled the battery another 10 times and same thing. So I left it over night hoping it would boot past it eventually but it only ended up draining my battery. In the morning I had to do a hard reset (holding the volume buttons) but weirdly after it did that it vibrated a bunch of times and just sat on a white screen. Again I pulled the battery. Then it did a fresh boot and the whole setup came on.
Well I went through doing my thing again... setting up, installing apps etc. But then apps stopped installing. Started getting errors saying to check my data connection again or try later. Somehow my data connection disappeared and I had to set the APN for data manually. Weird.
Well long story short is nothing has been working right. I keep hitting roadblocks during configuration and setup and end up hard resetting. Hard resets using the volume buttons always do the same thing.. cause the phone to vibrate a bunch of times and white screen and stays there. Hard resets within settings work ok as normal. But I keep getting different results. Like sometimes it will ask me to set the region and timezone on setup, and other hard resets wont. One reset caused Google to believe it was an iPhone I was using as it was clearly the iPhone version of Google home page.
And in the Marketplace sometimes I have US apps available in my region since I shouldn't and sometimes I don't. But now everytime I hard reset I don't have access to ANY HTC apps. If I go through the HTC Hub and try to get one it says it's not available in my region. Yet on my HD7 on Wind Mobile I had all of them and even did a hard reset or 2 and still got them back.
HTC Titan Forever Goodbye
While my problem is much different, there was one commonality that compelled me to post. I have an HTC Titan on AT&T and last night I was attempting to install one game and update another but it was giving me the "connect to wifi" error like you got. I tried to force it 10 or so times and it eventually worked.
However, this morning my maps would just sit at "Loading" and the phone was unresponsive at times. So I reset the phone and when I got to work the icons for most of my tiles wouldn't load, my and various other apps would crash or just sit at "loading". I didn't do any hard resets but I pulled the battery and still the same crap and trying to shutdown normally just resulted in "goodbye".
Since I am going to be sitting at my desk all day I decided I had the time to be more stubborn than the phone and just let it sit at "goodbye" for about 5-7 minutes before it actually rebooted.
EDIT: I just discovered that the app i started updating last night only made it 30%
It started out of a blue, one day my phone started to lose signal. Nobody was able to call me and I wasn't able to call anyone (Same deal with texts). So, I rebooted device and I still wasn't been able to use it, and in addition battery level decreased suddenly from sth like 70% to 3%. After about 10 minutes I was able to use it again. I thought that problem was my old TeamWhiskey Bionix, so I flashed CM10. Issue repeated several times a day. I tried different radios - nothing helped. Fortunately, WIFI still works, so I can use SIP...
Anyone has idea what can be the problem?
And I almost forgot... One week before radio freezed - I rebooted and device was alive again, so I forgot about it until now :/
EDIT//
Now I'm no more able to charge it cause Interface crashes when i plug USB in...
Hello everyone.
After several hours of googling and going through tons of pages here on xda I decided to make this post.
First, let me explain when the problem started:
The issue
Yestarday I was playing candy crush when suddenly the game started to get "laggy". I didn't think of it, exit the game and left my phone on the table. A few hours later I wanted to use it again only to find the small hard drive icon on the top saying something about Memory almost full. I clicked it and it took me to "All installed programs". I saw that it had used 1.9 gb of the total 2gb and only 20-40 mb were free. I started immediately to uninstall apps that I no longer use to see if this could help. It did for a few seconds but the memory got filled fast again.
This is when I started to search the net for solutions. The first post I read was to delete some log files so i did that. But it didn't change a thing. I thought to myself that I should make a backup of my stuff so it wouldn't go lost if I had to wipe the phone. But before I got to it my phone shut down. Now, when I turned it back on it would just start Media Scan and shortly after shut down. This is where I am now.
I am running stock ROM (have never rooted before).
What I have tried
I found the stock ROM (4.1.2 I think) and I flashed it with Odin thinking this would stop my phone from restarting. It did not.
I have tried to clear cache from Recovery Mode several times with no effect.
I have tried to wipe the phone from Recovery Mode but when I am half way through the setup process of setting up the phone for first use, it shuts down.
My battery also drops in power after the shutdown happens, so in this very moment I am waiting for the battery to charge fully so I can try to calibrate.
Please let me know if you need some additional information and I will happily provide what I can.
Thanks in advance!
You have flash stock and it still shuts down? Hardware problem. Battery old? Try with charger plugged in. Flashing stock makes it like new so there should be no faults. Id say battery is about had it. What firmware did you flash and were from?
My phone (and battery) is almost 1 year old so im still under warrenty if something fails. I just don't want to hand it in and wait weeks to get it back if I can handle it myself
Yes I flashed with stock ROM from samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 so it should be good.
It makes no difference if the charger is plugged or not (which I find odd cause shouldn't it be able to keep awake while on alternating current?).
At the time typing this my phone is online and I am currently backing up photos (yay!!!). What I did was to not type in PIN code so maybe the sim card is the trouble (also 1 year old). I will report back when everything is backed up.
Update:
4 seconds after entering the PIN code the phone shuts down. Also it plays about 10 silent "clicks". Can't hear if its from the phone or from the speaker.
Update2:
Alright so I tried inserting another sim card that I have which has no pin code. The phone boots (but only when plugged) but shuts down after statup, exactly the same place/ after the same time as when I use the other SIM and enter the code.
I have had it online for 5 minutes now without typing the pin so my guess is that it's some setting it loads with the sim that makes it crash (but its a wild guess).
It's also worth noting that it doesen't drop in battery capacity when it shuts down ATM.
Id still say battery problem but could be wrong.
I see some sort of flicker on the screen just before it shuts down. I don't know if this could help someone to address the problem.
For the full memory issue i solved wiping log files in the "/data/log" dir, i had almost 1000 log files, 1 MB each.
Hope this is your problem too.
There is hardly anything left in the /data folder. I have tried to delete the logs (65 mb) from Phone/log but that didn't change a thing. Im going to send the phone to the company i bought it from next week.
Ive recieved a battery that I ordered from china and the phone works now. So the problem was the battery just to let everyone know.
Glad you sorted it.
I have had the AT&T blue variant of the V10 for about 2 weeks. I don't have any issues with charging cables being loose regardless of whether or not the stock charger is being used as some users have mentioned. However, yesterday my phone's battery died completely and every time I tried to start charging it my V10 would automatically turn on and say to charge it to at least 5% before powering on then it would die. I left it on my bedside table last night unplugged (about 10 hours) and tried again to charge it again this morning. It seems fine right now but time will tell with that.
I'm also having an issue where the fingerprint scanner won't consistently recognize my fingers. Tried deleting fingers I added and it said they were deleted but they still show even after several reboots. And the phone also sometimes reboots on its own (done it about 3 or 4 times I think). I know it's not apps causing the reboot as I used the same apps on my Galaxy S3 and never had issues.
Anybody else having these issues or similar ones or know any fixes?
