A few days ago my charger (not an official Samsung charger as I bought my phone from a random shop) stopped working as it only works when you hold the connector in a certain position. Ever since then my phone won't charge unless you take the battery out for a few seconds, put it back in and connect it to the charger (I now use my camcorder's charger and my PC via usb). Also, the charger stopped working whilst it was in the phone (I was using it at the time).
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Try a factory reset first, different lead/battery or repair after that.

Thanks for the reply :good:
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2, would it be safe to back up my apps and system data with Titanium Backup then restore the backup after the factory reset?
You didn't mention you were on a custom Rom, do a nandroid then flash a stock rom to test.
Don't change anything until the charging has been tested.

Alright, thank you. Was this fix sacrificing everything that I had before which is currently in a nandroid backup?
You've proven the fault is with your rom/setup, restore the nandroid and the charging problem will return.
If you really want CM then flash a clean install of that rom and test charging, if it works then restore apps only from titanium.

The awkward moment when I forgot to backup my apps... Would going back to the problematic nandroid, backing up my apps, reflashing a stock rom then rooting/installing cwm/cyanogenmod be safe?
Edit: As opposed to reflashing a stock rom, installing cwm now and backing up this setup would save time
My phone got back into the habit of doing this, the fix seemed to be only temporary... I really don't want to go stock, I enjoy Cyanogenmod.

Hi, i've encountered some issue with battery since I installed this ROM.
I had some freeze and when I rebooted the phone the battery level dropped down of 20-30%...Also during the charge the behaviour was not "normal".. I can post some screenshot to made my explaination "visible".
The first time I had this problem, I reflashed the rom after a full wipe (data and cache) and after i hadn't performed the backup but installed the apps one by one from the store..that not solved the problem. I uninstalled set CPU, I also changed the battery...same freeze and same problem...Any advice?
Thank you!
Try another rom .

I`m using same rom but never had issue with battery. I suggest you to use phone until battery will be 0%, use until phone will shut down itself. Leave it off and charge battery for 7 hours. Turn it on and find on market battery calibration, calibrate the battery. Also you can try to change kernel. Good luck
Thank you all. I'll try to calibrate the battery (i think that it is clear that is not a battery problem) before changing kernel and then ROM.

strange that because im getting better battery life than i did from stock gb although i have frozen all samsung apps through titanium im amazed really. It probably takes a couple of charges to sort the battery on a new rom.
Well...I've performed the cleaning of the kernel..and installed a new kernel. No matter which kernel: the battery behaviour is the same. 30 minutes ago screenshot.

I tried with another battery.
I did a full wipe.
I refleshed the rom after the full wipe.
The only thing to do is change the rom.
For the moment I unistalled some apps (Set CPU was already uninstalled..now I deleted Rom Toolbox)

I agree. I myself am using Omega Ice Cream Sandwich 10.4 still
At the moment the problem is gone...propably it was due to the apps setCPU and Rom Toolbox..both set the CPU.
I continue to check the behaviour..the battery life is about 14 hours...maybe it is possible to set the phone to do better..more battery life...
Hey guys, I've had this question for some time. If you're gonna flash a Rom over another without wiping, like I'm doing now, Energy Aug 1 over 6th, I have 27% right now, is it safe to flash?

if you mean with 26% battery, then yea it should be ok. i flashed a rom with 12% battery before. and as long as you go from ics to ics rom you will be ok.
(the flashing process is so fast that you dont have to worry about battery too much)

You cannot brick a device if you're flashing ROMs with low battery. Heck, I've done it with 5% battery. Worst case scenario: Battery dies during flash. Phone probably won't boot due to no system (or corrupt system) installation. Solution: Charge it and then flash it again when there is enough battery. That is, if the ROM doesn't flash another radio/hboot.
For RUUs, radios, and hboots that is a COMPLETELY different story. Your battery dies while flashing a RUU, radio, or hboot, and you're probably screwed. (Not always, but a good chance)
yea i forgot to add the RUU part...
you definatly want at least 50% when flashing an RUU so that there is no possible way for a brick during that
Ahh awesome thanks for quick answers guys!!

I'd still flash a rom with full battery
read somewhere if you don't flash with full battery, the ICS set-up during initial boot might screw things up battery wise
I know that my first flash with the energy rom was at 70% battery, and had problems with battery life
flashed the (RUU) and Speed Rom with 100% battery, currently with no problems

When flashing with the RUU you know you are replacing EVERY system file on the phone.. so the ultimate "battery calibration"(since wiping battery stats is a proven myth) is having full battery when replacing system files.
As for the original question, if your battery dies after wiping ALL partitions you can completely wipe your device. When flashing a ruu it is accessing all partitions, but when flashing a normal rom it typically only wipes the system and data partition. As long as you have a recovery partition you can reflash any bad flash. As long as you can access boot loader you should be able to flash any ruu. But anytime you are messing with system files I think it is safe to say you don't want your phone to actually die and kill the process at some incomplete point.
When flashing roms I've never had it use more than 7%, so I'd say starting at 15% or more should be pretty safe.. but flashing at 100% will obviously write any system file that tells the phone what the battery capacity is, so I will always recommend it. If there is such a thing as the system checking battery capacity at all.

No because that boot is required for the os to load and optimise all applications and system files on your phone. So when you turn on the phone you can‘t avoid the boot.

Really have no idea.. if you want to keep your phone off for a long time at 100%, it is not recommended, best is if you charge to 30-50% to store it (laptop advice, and phone hae same type of battery)

Make nandroid backup. Reflash the latest rom with complete wipe.. battery data wipe too.
See if you still have the problem. If yes flash different kernel and see if its rectified!!

I remember that I followed all the steps correctly when I done the flash. So what do you think if I do only the complete wipe without flashing again?
Complete wipe. After you erase data and system.. nothing will be left. You wont be able to boot.
Hi, i'm a new user of SG SII, and i don't know much about it. I was trying to install new ROM on it, first I tried to unroot my phone with CF ROOT, after that everthing was OK. Then i tried to install REVOLT JB i9100 ver 2.8.2, when i got by CWM in recovery, instead of clicking wipe data, then cache and ccache partition i did: wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition, wipe dalwik cache and format system. I flashed kernel and during ROM installation phone turned off and did turn on. i think it's hard bricked. I don't know what to do, please help.
Are you still able to get into don't download mode o your phone ? ( volume down, home key, power button )
If so, reflash your kernel and go from there.
Also have a look at CyanogenMod, they have a good post with instructions on here.

no, phone doesn.t response on anything, even if i'm charging the battery.
Try removing your battery and unplug cables.
Then try download or recovery mode again.
If it really doesnt work then there is probably something fried on your system board, doubt anything you can do about it as i had the same not that long ago out of the blue.

You can always tell them that you were updating via kies and it dropped dead just like that.
Your battery was low when you tried to flash it, wasn't it?
try a jig first tho; there's something fishy about those wipes you mentioned.

On some occasions flashing a device can use 40-50% of battery to prep and flash device which is why its advised to never flash your phone unless you have at least 50-60% battery.
If power cuts out during flashing procedure it can damage nand/ic chip, corrupt bootloader, corrupt sdcards etc.
After leaving it plugged into to charger overnight try a USB jig to see if you can get it to wake up in download mode, If you can re-flash rom and go from there.

From what you described, it couldn't have hard bricked your phone. In fact, it isn't easy to hard brick our phone unless you install that infamous ICS 4.0.4 leaked ROM or mess with flashing of PIT file. Try to use another fully charged battery to boot up or go into CWM recovery.

while i was installing new rom, process was like 0% for about 5 minutes, and then phone just turned off. When i did flashing and installing CWM everything was ok. I rooted it with CF root.
Exact same problem here. Followed the root guide to the letter and all OK. Set omega rom installing and it stayed at 0 for five mins then it shut off. Now no life at all.
Gonna build a jig tomorrow so I'll update here if it works.

this question was originally posted as my phone stuck in bootloop by itself
I've been using Slim Bean very neatly for the past 3 months until today
I charged my phone and I saw only battery icon (you know like when you charge it from no battery)
I unplugged and there is a red ! on top left corner in the GT-i9300t boot screen.
I was able to get to TWRP recovery, fortunately.
ok now I get it to boot what I did I restored to my NEATROM that I have backed up long time ago and before that I failed to restore to Slim Bean also.
I was happy it worked but
I'm now so confused as my newly RESTORED Neat rom looks like a new flash, with Samsung welcome screen and gmail login and all.
I have been restoring ROMS for some time now I know this ain't right, it should look like the state when I BACKED IT UP.
Is something wrong with my phone????
You must have backed up and restored a stock type rom .
Phone cannot change to stock by itself .

I'm pretty sure it's not stock because I have been restoring it before and all the apps are there

unfortunately I didn't fulfill my curiosity as to what just happened
and I thought NANDROID back up is the best way to prevent any disaster ROM wise
it may not be made to withstand partition problem which is what I think happened.

but it's in my external card. Copied over from my computer even.
Moving / copying files can also be a catalyst for corruption.
I've had the same issue with a backup from computer before.
My reference to internal sd was if your partitions are messed up, its likely your backup was corrupt.
It could even be the backup just didn't take properly. If you have md5 checking turned on then that is more likely.
Anyway, it can happen from time to time
