randomly my phone rebooted itself and the spashscreen came up then went out and the phone only vibrates every 2 seconds. Left the phone and went to work now screen doesn't even come one but vibrating still continues.... tried to get to twrp does nothing... pulled battery while phone is plugged in and still vibrates.. any help?? ahh phone less..
after reading a bit into this people have said comments on the battery being bad (Noticing a "bulge" in the battery. my question is with the battery on a flat surface, does it lay completely flat?? on mine one side it lays flat on the other side it does not...... so should it lay flat on both sides?
Battery should be completely flat on both sides. Get it out of that phone before it causes some kind of corruption and get a new one.
Or the dreaded stuck power button syndrome.

Hi,
So as the title say, my battery act very weird.
At first, it refused to charge through the charger. Took out battery and waited 10 min, then it charge, until 100%, unplug charger, and it still charging , never stop.
Took out battery again, waited 10 min, put it in, battery charging icon appear on screen with the little yellow triangle inside, cannot turn on phone. Then I plug charger in, now I can turn on the phone, but battery level now show 80% and notification : charging paused, voltage too high.
Could someone help me?
Thanks
P/s: It was happened last night, leave it over night and I can use the phone normally this morning though.

Oh. Good. Lord.
10 min is NOT ENOUGH TIME to let the thing dry after you dropped the whole thing into water. You probably screwed the pooch on this one.
If the phone is dropped in water, most people recommend taking the phone apart and putting all pieces into a bag full of uncooked rice and silica packages for at least a few (preferably up to 5) DAYS before attempting to reconnect battery.
Because you've reattached battery already after less than 1 hour TWICE, I'm betting you have shorted your mainboard beyond all repair.
Water + electronics isn't necessarily the kill factor. Water + electronics + electrical current (connected battery) BEFORE DRY = dead electronics.
You should leave the battery out of the SGS and put both in a bag with much rice or cat litter some days in a bag. No hair dryer or something like this.
It wasn't a good idea to connect the loader and to leave the battery in the mobile.
I have a friend with exactly the same problem, his daughter put the GS2 phone into water and then he put the battery out for ONE night only... now the phone says is charging when it's unplugged and sometimes the "car mode" activates by his own (i don't even know how to activate the car mode on my GS2) ....
we started to think that the problem will stay forever

And now that the battery was put back into the phone after only one night, it probably will.
mine too fell in luke warm water but i removed batt in all covers open ,kept in a rice bag for jus 2,3hrs an the i blowd hair dryer the kool one not hot air.....an now my phone is good .....atleast now don charge an remove ,keep it to dry an check out if ur lucky ,it will work or ,the service center m8.

You got lucky if yours isn't showing any ill effects after such a short dry time. Yours is an exception.
ometimes the "car mode" activates by his own (i don't even know how to activate the car mode on my GS2) ....

Well, i did have the same selfactivates problem like you for few min,It even turn it on after i put the battery in, without any action. But it gone now. The problem is that it keep saying charging and the notification keep pop up. I can overcome it by install AOKP or CM9 Rom which dont have that kind of notification. But still, my concern is how long can it take till it really dead?...

Start looking for a new phone now.
If you already shorted it, it's not going to go away. Electronics don't just heal themselves over time.
A repair shop may be able to replace parts with shorted components, but if many have shorts, it may not be worth it to fix, and may end up being more expensive to fix than to replace.
You should have left the phone to dry atleast for a solid 24 hours in a rice bag!
I put my old Sony Ericsson in the washing machine once (was in a pair of shorts) lol.
Of course I don't expect it to work... but I opened it up and took out battery etc... left it out to dry in the sun for few minutes (making sure it doesn't get too hot), then put in a nice dry place with dehumidifier. After a couple of days it worked again.
Now that is just lucky and it probably wouldn't last for long... but luckily I was going to buy a new phone at the time anyways.
Moral of the story... phones, or any electronics, are not waterproof unless stated that they are. You have to be more careful people... or get something like Invisible Shield.
do you think that the problem will go away if I got a new battery ??

How can you be confused about this? The issue is a short on one of the electronic components in the phone. Probably the mainboard. Getting a new battery won't address that.
Why not bring it in to some service center (or even some night market telephone tech guys) and have them check it out? Then they can tell you what needs replacing or if you're better off getting a new phone.
so my phone got wet.. probably something was spilled over it or something...
anyway it shut down immediately (obvious)
i've opened the battery and pulled it out and i had water there.. i've dried it with a napkin as best as i could and power it on.. id didnt work
i've tried to plug it in the charger (probably shouldnt but was in panic heh) and i got the boot logo and the battery showed 5 precent.. i've waited a couple of minutes and it went up and up.. then i booted the phone... everything worked fine.. thought it was over and all was good.
then after 30 minutes or so i've unpluged the phone and after maybe 5 minutes it shut down (battery showed like 30 precent)
anyway.. i've then dried it some more with a hair drier but still the phone didnt boot
every time i connect the charger it shows 5% but doesnt move from it.. always on 5%..
When plugged in i can try to boot up but i see the M logo and after a few seconds it shuts down, nothing happens
I also can enter recovery or RSD or all the things...
What can i do?? is that the battery thats faulty? or the phone is gone? what can i try??
Well you have probably ended up frying something by turning it on while it was wet. I think you should let it dry out completely and then try to boot it up. If it still doesn't boot its a goner.
Google ways how to dry it. One way is to put it in a bag of rice for 2 days.

Towards the right of the SIM card, there is a whole in the plastic that has a moisture indicator spot, if that is white, then things are goodish, but if it is red??? then you may be in bad shape. Also, on the underside of the battery, there is another indicator, it should be mostly white with red + all over it, however if it is all red??? then the batter may be a goner. However, electronics these days are protected from some type of moisture, so it may just be still wet on the inside and may just need to be dried up.
To dry up electronics, as mentioned, a bag of dry rice is a great moisture sucker. Otherwise if you have an abundance of silica gel packets laying around, you can toss the phone into a container with those and let them sit for a few days.
However, you did you a hair drier, to that I say good luck. That kind of direct intense heat is horrible for most electronics, there is a very good chance you have destroyed some other internal component, and you probably won't be using your ATRIX any longer.
The issues you are running into are hardware related and the fact you can power on the phone at all surprises me. If you have a warranty plan that supports water damage, you can try reaching out to them and see what they want to do to help you, but considering you blasted a hair dryer at it, I would be very surprised.
take the battery, sim, sdcard, etc out and put in dry rice.
You plugged it into the charger, so game over imo. Whether it turns on or not you have damaged it. Better to cut your losses and look for a new phone. Done it myself.

Thanks for the replies.. An update for the situation..
I've waited more for the phone to dry and rest and then my girlfriend (her phone actually) started to mess with it and somehow turned it on and it actually works now.
The spot near the sim is white but the spot on the battery is totally red..
Now the strange thing is that the phone indicator shows that there is 5 percent left but when I looked at the battery voltage it showed 4196.. In the morning I checked the voltage and it was 4100 and the indicator showed 1%..
What's up with that??
Is the battery ruined? Or something else? Im going to buy a new one anyway but still...

You may have got lucky and just ruined the battery. Watch for corrosion on the connectors in the phone for battery, sim, and sdcard. That may be the next problem if a new battery works out.

Late last night, as I was going to bed, my phone was throwing the "charge me" sound and notification flash, it was sitting at 14% charge. So I decided to plug it in, as any normal person would do.
When I woke up this morning I found the LED flashing red/green and the phone was so hot to the touch I had to put it down. Which is saying A LOT because 1) my hands are fairly numb to anything short of burning my skin off and 2) that was through my case, which is a Body Glove Kickback case.
Now, I immediately unplugged as I knew what the flashing lights mean, but here's the kicker -- once it was unplugged it only had 32% charge, I had been asleep for 7 hours, clearly enough time to charge a phone.
Once I realized this, I started messing around with phone (after I could hold the damn thing again) and found that I had a case of image persistence, which was caused by my phone being set to leave the screen while connected to the charger. I've changed that. I'm hoping that I can at least fix this today and figure out what caused my phone to act like this last night.
Nothing was different than any other night. I used the same charger in the same outlet, with my phone in the same spot, as I have since I purchased the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated! As my GoogleFU has only led my to the screen burn thread and useless threads upon threads of people saying what apps they were using when their phone got hot.

I haven't either. I've had phones get really, really warm -- but this thing was so hot that when I grabbed it in my somewhat awake state, I woke straight up and immediately dropped it on my bed. I'm not one to exaggerate, it was insane how hot it got.
And I'm assuming you're talking about screen on when charging? Yes, I set that. A while back when I needed my screen to constantly remain on.
That's pretty crazy. If you have insurance, I would try get it replaced. It obviously shouldn't be getting that hot, and the last thing you need to be worrying about is weather tonights the night your battery will explode. I'd be afraid to keep it on a charger at this point - even with the screen off.

I was considering taking it to the store, I'll see how the rest of the day plays out. I left it on the charger to full charge and it didn't even get close to as hot as it was this morning, so that's why I feel like waiting it out. I'm going to leave it on the charger for a few more hours and see what happens.
My Htc Desire x has been dropped in water for about 5 sec when i pick it up it doesnt even get turned off so i thought its fully safe so i kept it to charge .On keeping it charging it showed red light sensor and on removing the cable it showed the same red light which means it is charging. on the next day morning when i saw it it was switched off on pressing the power button it showed nothing so I kept in in a bag of rice for about a week and then pressed Power button so I had given it to service center(not htc service center). They had said it has been short circuited and will be reparing it in 1day and they had taken 4 days time and now saying that we cant do anything.So what should I do now.Please Help me.
Thanks
If also the rice didn't do anything and they said something was short circuited I think you can do nothing..

When dropping an electronic device into the water, it is VERY important to:
- remove the battery as soon as you take it! Do not press any buttons or attempt any other operation
- leave the device in a bag of rice for about 2 weeks
- put back the battery in and try to switch it on. If it fails, try with another battery you know it works for sure
- works? good! does not work? you can pretty much trash the device :-/
I fear that he only thing you can do is disassemble it and sell parts like case, screen, digitizer, etc. or sell it in one piece by ebay or something...
Ok so my little brother was playing with my phone yesterday, and I believe he put it in his mouth and the charging port was in aswell, and it got a little wet. I dried it with a towel not knowing that it had gone isnide and the phone seemed to be working perfectly. I few mins later I was making a skype call, and out of a sudden the screen started flickering and just sit down. I though it was the sensors picking up something, but i Put my fingers over them and could still see that the screen was off. But the call carried on and the phone was still on, it was just the screen which was wet. So i decided to take the battery out, and when I took the back cover off, i found out that it was all wet. I de assembled my phone cried it all even the screen connecter and no internal damage had been caused from my perspective. I cleaned the motherboard battery everything. There was no signs of water on the inside it was only on the back cover. I still dont understand why it wont turn on, it never had any impact it just got wet and I cant see and signs of it inside the actual phone. I also cant get into recovery or download mode. PLEASE reply ASAP thanks guys
Water damage is death to smartphones, your motherboard is probably blown.
Try placing it inside a ziplocked bag of rice in a warm place for a day, but it's probably too late.

If you can't get into download mode try a usb jig (very cheap off ebay) if then you can get into download mode flash a stock firmware if problem is still their then it is a hardware problem. Sounds like some water damage somewhere (maynot be visible) but usb jig is worth a try
