Battery drop down - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It is brought out that I have been offlately facing aforementioned stange battery charge drop down on all the reboots.
To double check the same I used one of my friends battery who never experienced such thing and the same issue happened with his battery in my phone. (His phone is galaxy r)
In view of the above situation, I would like to ask all members to advise/help me to find solutions on the following points
1. Is this problem related with hardware
2. A software bug.
3. Could be kernel related.
I also understand that lot of people are experiencing this issue. if togerher we can share our experience in this thread I am hopeful that we would be able to find the solution.

More details needed mate. Which ROM are you on? Which kernel? Rooted or not? How much battery standby do you get? Any BBS log?

I am on s2 like s4 rom with dorimanx 8.32.
Rooted. No issues with battery standby. Getting good battery life. The problem only starts when I switch it off or reboot

Unusual or abnormal battery drops after a reboot indicate 2 things:
1. Some problem with battery calibration (could be due to recently flashed new ROM/kernel or due to wiping battery stats). For this, simply allow your phone a few days to recreate the battery stats.
2. Old or failing battery. In this case, a replacement battery would be needed.

Rom was flashed 2 weeks back. If this would have been the case it should have settled by now.
Anyways I will do a battery calibration to see if it improves.
2. Old or failing battery. In this case, a replacement battery would be needed.
This can be considered as the battery is now 1 year old but when I used my friends battery the same drop down happened which is not the case with his phone which is galaxy r.

It could also be due to faulty USB port/board or the connector pins.

There is a media scan that happens everytime you reboot, So in that case if your having large number of corrupted files, There will be huge battery drain.
Check your external card for .nomedia files and delete them.
Check your internal memory for .nomedia files and delete them.
Use MP3 CHECKER and Check for broken MP3 files.
Fix it and you are good to go :good:

Scanned and found lot of nomedia files... deleted them
also, scanned the mp3 files and found lot of them were broken therefore deleted the broken once.
After started the phone twice and this time only lost 1% on each reboot... seems it is sorted but will keep an eye for two three days and report back.
Prashanth thanks for the advise it seems to working.

Am glad that i helped you mate

Is there any way to scan the nomedia files on the phone and delete them.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I looked up for nomedia files and found out I don't have them, so, the problem on my phone is not it. But I still have these battery drop down when I reboot below 50%, and when it turns on, it's between 10 and 25%. Any ideas of what is wrong? I have 3 batteries and all of them behave this way, obviously is the hardware/firmware.

This is the usual behavior of the fuel gauge chip. To avoid this you have two options: only reboot the phone if you have 80%+ of battery or plug in the charger before you reboot and unplug it after the reboot is completed.

This never use to happen when battery was new. So this only happens when battery gets old and looses charge.
I went to samsung service centre today and was given to understand that my battery is loosing current when on low power as this is not the genuine battery.
So now I will get hold of my friends new galaxy s2 and try his battery and see if this is the case and report back

When I bought my phone, it didn't happened. I just start to happen when I flashed my 1st custom rom, 6 months after, so, maybe somthing changed with it that cause this...
Until 2 months ago, I believe the timing is right, the original rom as Neat Rom worked flawlessly in matter of this subject, but now not anymore... So I don't know what to think about, if it's some modern incompatibility or something with the battery/phone.

It seems either the charger end point / connector and/or the phone MHL port which you connect to charge are dirty clean them and try again.
I've tried to charge it with a different battery charger and tried to clean the phone's USB port blowing in it but nothing seemed to change. I really don't know why but today after 3 hours of problems my gs2 started behaving correctly...but when i reconnected the phone and then I unplugged it the bug reappeared... since the problem appeared for the first time I switched between different roms but always the same ... could it be still a software problem?

Moreover if I don't plugin the phone it works normally... The problem seems to appear sporadically immediately after being connected to the battery charger...

Battery charges while unplugged!?

Hey there,
My phone drained while plugged in and I noticed after I unplugged it the charge began to climb. Ideas? Anyone else?

Dont want to be the pessimist but my brothers phone did this. He sent it off to samsung and they sent him a bill for £150. Apparently it was water damage. There are other threads on here though have been diagnosed as faulty USB connection on the main board.

Well it hasn't touched water.. seems the charge count has stopped going up.

Neither had my brothers, apparently its sensitive that the slightest condensation can cause the indicators to turn. Thats what they told my brother.

Just an Android bug.
When charging, the phone thinks it's draining, so it says; it's losing power.
When decharging, it thinks it's charging... Phone Samsung, send some photos (with the phone) and make sure the water-sticker has all it's crosses VISIBLE!
If you don't want to risk a bill yet, then try flashing a different ROM... (First, backup, incase it doesn't work, flash stock ROM via Odin, if that doesn't work, try a different custom ROM, if that doesn't work, you phone's f**ked...)
I will try this tonight when I am home. Thank you for the input. I will post results

OK... didn't have a chance to flash a different ROM. if anyone has any suggestions on which rom to go with I would appreciate it.
Today it seems that the battery will not charge. It sees that it is plugged in but it does not take charge. The saga continues! I am thinking about getting another battery just to test this out.
You must rule out bad roms by flashing a stock rom .

Common bug.
What seems to happen with mine is that the battery miscalculated the amount it's drained by when you use it for a while - For example, using google maps as a car GPS. After you get to the destination, and turn off the GPS and Data, the battery APPEARS to regain charge - it's not really, it's just recalculating the amount it was drained by.
A battery refresh will sort it, it's also very common if you reboot/crash at under 50% power. It reboots at around 10% and ticks back up to the 'correct' value after an hour or so.
It gets worse after a few weeks of use, and a battery refresh (full charge, shut down, remove battery for 2 minutes, replace battery, fully charge, switch on), sets everything back to default again and it behaves itself for a while.
Not had it happen for a couple months now, but I've not been dinking around with flashing stuff of late so it's not been crashing horribly (which was the main CAUSE of this bug), in the first place.
Here is some news... tried a different USB cable and guess what? No more charge issues or over voltages.

Don't buy a new battery!
Before paying for anything;
while the phone is running, pull the battery...
2. (Leave the battery out) Plug your phone in, if it recognizes the charger, leave it to clear the RAM properly, plug the battery back in, boot into CWM and wipe battery stats! Once done, take from charger, unplug battery, plug it back in, then leave the phone powered down, and plug charger in. Leave it for an hour or two, then boot into Android. Now it should work fine
It's a problem with your usb charging port. It will progresssively get worse and ICS will keep telling you that its paused charging due to overvoltage. The only way to truly fix it is to have the charging port plus circuit board replaced. Happened to me a week back and I tried virtually everything- stock roms, removed root, replaced batteries etc. None of that worked. Some posts said it was a port problem. Went to a tech guy I knew and he confirmed the issue when he disconnected the port. It was relatively cheap for me to fix but some people have climed that samsung charges a large amount to fix it. You're better off trying to get it fixed on your own. If you're on warranty, try and claim it

Little more description of your problem would help.
As was asked, does the screen shut off, or does it completely shut down and then show you the charging screen?
Have you checked your logs to see what your phone has to say? (and if you haven't, don't ask "How do I do that?", there's a number of threads that have discussed it. Do a simple google/xda/google play search for dmesg)
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
My phone does the same. When I plug in the charger ( USB cable plugged into wall unit) the screen shuts off, I hear a click inside the phone, and then the phone reboots over and over. If I plug it in with the power off, I see the battery, with the cursor for about 2 seconds, then repeated over and over.
On my phone the USB port was broken so I purchased a replacement " board", not just the connector, and put it in. Any thoughts. Thanks. Phone is fine otherwise.

What I would do is first make a Nandroid backup (I'm assuming you know how to, since you have a custom ROM) and maybe a TiBu backup as well.
Then, try going into CWM and wiping data to factory reset, wiping the cache, and wiping Dalvik cache, then reflashing the latest version of the ROM you already have installed. See if that helps. It probably isn't an issue with your ROM but then again precautions are always good to narrow down the real problem.
Good thought. Did try that and no better. Sending in for warranty. Pretty sure it is a hardware issue.

Yeah. Sounds like it would be a hardware problem. Not sure why I thought it might be something else.

I had this problem. It is due to using an aftermarket battery without Near Field Communication. The batter I have seems to be authentic Samsung, but was made for the i9100, with doesn't have this NFC chip. These aftermarket batteries have to be charged in a separate charger. You will notice the NFC batteries are slightly thicker and have "Near Field Communication" under the Samsung logo.
That could be it. I already sent it in for repair, but I did purchase 3 genuine Samsung batteries for the i9100 to use in my i777. They work fine in my i9100. Good to know. Thanks.

Samsung knows about this
I know this is an old thread, but I just called Samsung for this problem on a non custom ROM, non-rooted, S2 and the agent didn't specifically say that it is a known problem but he told me he would set up free repair without even asking when I bought it or any other purchase verification. I work for a fairly large tech retailer and in my experience this usually means that it is a known issue.
I did find it to be the batteries that i purchased. They were for the i-9100. The att version needs a device appropriate battery. They say nfc on them. I sent it in for repair and samsung said that they couldnt find anything wrong

Have you tried wipe cache and dalvik?
I have same problem sometimes even when not plugged in. I think it might be cause of some Stweaks setting when the screen is off for a long time. Please let me know what I can change.
I have the exact same issue, I ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGM392G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it shuts off when plugged in. I flashed a custom kernel and it fixed the issue, but it happens all over when I odin to stock. Is this a HW problem with my phone, or just a bad battery? EDIT- I looked under the label and there is indeed no nfc antenna, even though the label says nfc and there are 4 contact points. I will be returning the battery and updating.

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.

It's worse enough you post this on every battery related tread, now you're posting it twice on the same tread? Why?

It's enough to post it on 1 battery related tread, you're not helping anyone by posting it on every tread
Normally people search before they post, so if they have the same problem as you they will notice your post even if it's on only 1 battery related tread

Battery Life all of a sudden changed

Heya guys n gals, hopefully someone can give me a hand or some information on what is going on and maybe some fixes.
I have had my gt-i9100 international using the jeboo kernal and one of greeces 4.1.2 stock. Phone was rooted.
Go back a month now, the phone started to turn itself off while visually it showed i had approx 70% battery life left. it only do it if i was using my wifi directy connected to my wireless router. watching a bit of nasatv or on facebook, for like 10 minutes max. it then stopped turnign itself off for a week or so, then it became a constant every day problem, to which 4 days ago I thought stuff it, id reinstall total stock rom and kernel. during this time i purchased a new stock battery which turned up yesterday, i have reinstalled to stock rom and kernal and this morning (with old battery) the damm thing turns it self off, after turning the phone on the battery indicator says 74%.
Put new battery in and leave phone off and plug in charging cable, the charge icon show emplty battery with a circle arrow thats not moving, then flicks over to a 80%ish nearly full charge green fill in of the battery image then flicks off, does not stay with that image on the screen for very long at all, blink and youl miss it.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Given replacing battery didn't work, you go with the next logical possibility - replace USB board/port. This has been covered a lot here this year, so you have plenty of info to guide you. It's cheap/easy to do yourself, but you must order the right part (there are 4 different 'revisions'). Search for threads about this issue to get the info you need.
I dont understand how then that the original battery still works, If the port aint charging one battery then why is it selective to charge the original?

how do i find out what revision the charging flex port is?
That's the problem with the usb flex port. You never know when it will choose to work. For the same reason don't use your pc to flash anything till you fix it.
To find the rev version you have to take your phone apart. Click the link in my signature and from there you can access a guide to DIY if you wish.

Firstly install mp3 checker on your computer and copy all your mp3 to your computer and scan it with mp3 checker and if any broken mp3 are found delete them.
For nomedia---you need to search it on your computer with phone connected and delete them
Once this is done I think you should be sorted with battery drain and many more battery issues
