[Help] Galaxy has it own life. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Today, somehow my phone started to turn by itself into driving mode.
It has been looping for 1 minute then I ejected the battery.
I've noticed that the phone turnes on automaticly when I inserted the battery (didnt press the button).
This made me believe that it isnt a virus becouse it response when the system is not working.
After turning on, the galaxy looks okay but the power button (lock button) doesnt response.
There are alerts that asks me what clock I want to use (didnt change the clock).
The galaxy turnes into charge without connecting it to the charger (very wierd).
Need some help guys.
Edit:
After two hours I ejected the battery and inserted and the galaxy just shows an image of battery in loop and dont turn on.

Moisture or some metal in the USB port at the bottom of the phone or possible breakdown of that part of the circuit. Use search, i't been discussed many times.

The device notify when I connect to the charger but in delay of 10 seconds.
The main problem is not the charge slot, it is the shutdown button that isnt working.
Thanks for the reply.

Looks like the problem solved somehow.
maybe becouse I charger it to 100%
Now the battery icon on the notification bar is just flashing.

I sometimes have this issue with letting the battery die. best thig i found is to plug it for an hour or so and go back to it

Can someone help me?

Well,my U20i (x10 Mini Pro) have using a custom Rom for a long time and it is really great....until one day (this post date) my phone turn off by me because I want to conserve the battery,and then when I want to turn it on,it vibrate (with no light) and I can see the LCD displaying a very ultra low light level of screen (same like phone won't boot screen) so I reflash it again using the Rom I like but not work... :'(
I'm now try to recover my phone using Update Service aka SEUS right?And can someone give me other way to fix this problem?Also my accelerometer seems not working/functioning when this problem occur...yesterday everything was great but this day the problem occured...
Have you try the factory reset? Long ago my E10i can't use the WiFi, when i turn it on there's no hotspot detected and after 5 second it turn off automatically, even if i try to flash the ROM again, the problem still occur... Until i do the factory reset, it's working normally again... Just give it a try ,well if you don't mind to lose your apps...

if I understood, your phone boot but the display doesn't turn on.
since seems like this happen since turning the phone on. we can say that for some reason the screen isn't responding. so... you can try to reflash it again and see it that help in something.
the worst could be that the screen got damage in some way.
If i were you,I would reflash stock from via SEUS. And then see what happens. I only hope that it isn't a hardware issue

It sounds to me that your battery was just too low... You turned it off to conserve battery and then when you turned it on it gave you a notification sound...
it does that when it wants to turn off because of low battery...
just let it charge, i don't think it's much of a problem.
Well I flashed a stock Rom and the problem still occur...accelerometer doesn't work and phone display isn't on when boot (but the phone is on,yeah it is on just display have no light)

Screen won't ever turn off... why?

I just did a full factory reset of my stock rom and finished restoring my apps but for some reason the screen won't turn off when I leave the device alone.
Screen timeout is set to 30 seconds but no matter what I set it to, the device never ever sleeps. Also if I press the lock button sometimes the device will wake itself and and the screen will come back on permanently... I've looked in the process manager and nothing is running in the foreground.
Here is a logcat. Can anyone make sense of it?
I have no idea why this is happening after a fresh wipe on a stock rom.
Just try this.
Go to settting --> Display --> Touch key light duration --> Change "Always on" to either 1.5 seconds or 6 seconds (as per your choice)
If it works just HIT thanks button.
The touch key light duration has nothing to do with why my screen won't turn off...
Thanks anyway..
Do you have any alarms set?
EDIT: in developer options do you have stay awake set on? Also if your not plugged into USB maybe you should try and clean the USB port.

Hey thanks for the reply. No I have no alarms on, the USB port is very clean and I don't have that option in my 'Developer Options'. :/ I really would like to know what is going on...
Same problem
Hi leijonasisu,
My samsung has just developed the same problem whereby the screen won't turn off ever. It happened since the battery went completely flat two days ago. I'd love to know whether you found a solution to the problem, because it is draining the battery at an insane rate!
thanks.

Hey! Little bit of help please !
Hello everyone, im new to this place but as far as I could read my cellphone having the exact same symptoms as the threadstarted stated.
I do have the "Developer options" tab and also I would like to add another symptom.. After the phone is fully charged, the green icon at the top-left corner of the screen wont dissapear after I disconnect the usb cable.
- I do not have the "stay awake" settled on.
- I do have multiple alarms but just at some exact point each morning.
- The only way I can shut the screen down is by pressing the lock button.
- I'm running 4.1.2 as the android version.
- My model is the GT-I9100
Is there any other thing you guys would need to know ? thanks in advance for the possible help provided.
Flash a stock firmware via odin.
Then all will back to default.the same look when you bought it.
Or flash a custom rom with device option in settings.you can controll the screen behavior there.

Root your phone and flash a custom roms.
You'll find one at the dev section.
Dont like the custom rom and stay on stock?
Do a factory reset.
Settings - Storage - Erase all data
This will erase your user data and downloaded apps.So do it at your own risk.
Goodluck

I just had the problem on my Mega, where the Power Button would bring up the Power Menu on a long tap, but would not turn the screen off when I just pressed it quick, like it used to. Nor would the screen shut off with the Screen Timeout set either.
When it started this problem, I also noticed that the solid white screen that would appear during part of the bootup no longer appeared.
This got me to thinking. I'm Rooted on the Factory v4.2.2 ROM, so I installed "XBlast" and went into it and checked the box for Disabling the Boot Animation (SU should prompt you).
Anyway, I rebooted and the problem was gone! I can turn the screen on and off with my Power Button again!
This all started with yesterday's Google+ update making my system go haywire! I had to restore from a previous NanDroid backup, but this one issue remained. The Bootup Animation must have got messed up somehow and affected it and disabling it stopped it from interfering or something.
This helped me and I can deal with having a way cool boot animation later if I want. But at least my phone's screen turns off now and maybe it'll help you too.
Solution!!!
This problem is usually caused by the usb charging port, which is why a factory reset doesn't fix it. It's a hardware problem not a software problem.
1.
First thing to try is cleaning the usb port with a small dental bursh (or whatever you can find) and some surgical spirit which you can find in a pharmacy,
Take the battery out and unplug the phone when you do this.
2.
If that doesn't work then you can try the method that worked for me. Full disclosure: I invented this through trial and error, I don't know why this works and I can't guarantee you won't damage the usb port. But if nothing else works, then I say go for it.
For this method leave the battery inside, have the phone on.
Okay, so the port is a hole with a prong in the middle, right. Get a sewing needle and insert it into the space between the prong and the hole, specifically the place where the prong is closest to the hole wall - all right? The prong should be much closer to one of the walls than the other walls, put it down there, it won't fit unless you force it a little bit.
Put it in as far as it will go, then leave it for a little while. Turn the screen on and wait, see if the screen turns off. For me it usually works after five minutes of having the needle inside. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY

Battery blinking and functional PROBLEM

I m using an custom rom, from spike. It was working very nice. Recently a problem starts. Maybe it have nothing to do with the rom, anyway, just in case you know what rom i'm using. (Spike.Pure.ICS-v7.6)
So, the problem is, the display stops to block automatic. It only blocks if i press the power button. If non, the screen decreases the brightness and stay turned on without block and off.
The batterry icon keep blinking without show the percentage, warped, it looks like a square , sometimes it back to normal shape and sometimes its becomes a square blinking
When i plug the usb cable it back to normal, shows the percentage and recharge but It doesnt tell me when its 100% anymore, no message on status bar notification as it used to show.
When the usb is pluged the "block" seems to back to normal too, as the configuration says, 15 seconds and screen turns off.
I already tryed to reset battery stats... i let the S2 discharge completely and then i charge to 100%, wait 2 hours plus then i reseted the stats.
No deal. Reset darwin cache.. same...
Plus, it keep telling on notification bar that i'm connected as storage device even when the usb is disconected. But if i connect it to PC it works normal.
Anyone know what can it be?
1. try search function
2. faulty usb port try to clean it with a clean brush, look for more details, or it may need to be changed
this is caused by humidity (dropped in water/snow, rained in it, high humidity area where you live)
