My battery's been on the fritz for the last days now. Whenever I turn my GS2 off, it will shows tha battery charging screen, then flash to another icon that shows a battery, exclamation mark in a yellow triangle, and a thermometer. It had to plug the charger in to get it to turn on, even though battery was at 100%.
So, I decided to download Battery Doctor to check my batter stats, and it says 'Health: Over Voltage'.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Help would be much appreciated.
I have exactly the same problem. I have not found a sollution, am thinking of calling samsung and explaining the situation. I will post here if i have a sollution.
What OS version are you running?
What Kernel version are you running?
What carrier (if any) did you purchase the phone through?
I'm on 2.3.3 (KE7), using Chainfire's kernel. Phone is carrier unlocked, unbranded from clove.co.uk.
Btw, I think I may have fixed it. I discharged the battery and used a charger with a lower voltage output to get it fully charged. (Charger I used if from my spare phone, a Samsung Champ). It now says that my battery health is good.
Now, the problem is that my phone won't stay powered off when I turn it off. It will stay off for 1-2 secs and power back on. Even if I remove the battery, the phone will power on after i place the battery back without me touching the power button.

I have the exact problem. Is the battery health still good? I would like to fix this by myself and not send it in and be without my GS2 for that time.
You should try this:
1. be sure, that your battery is full (charging over night)
1. run the app battery calibrator
2. unplug charger
3. drain battery all the way down till it shuts off
In this way your phone can remember what is 100 % and what is 0%
My sgs2 shows 4,194 V at 100 %
I think your stats (look into battery calibrator) said that 100% are for example 3,8 V
PS: You need root permissions

Please post us your current voltage.
I have this exact problem. Battery Calibration is pointless, we all know that.
Did anyone ever find out if this is fixable, or do I have to contact Samsung for a replacement?
It's quite annoying that I can't turn off my phone, it just powers on after about 2 seconds. In addition, I never know how much juice I have left in the battery as the reported capacity can jump from 90% down to 6% in an instant. After a reboot it might go up to 12% but I can still use the phone for hours without it shutting down...
Yeah
I've been having the same problems as all above...
Galaxy S2 on Sensation rom, but its not the rom, i flashed to another and the problem still remains...
It all started with phantom charging...(charging when the charger is not even plugged in and constantly making the "charger connected" sound)
I got the phantom charging fixed by cleaning the charger port with a cotton bud and some cleaning alcohol...But now i have overvoltage...
And just like the others, it'll stay on for example 100% and if you reboot its suddenly on under 10% and slowly works its way up to 20 or 30% without even being charged.
I'm assuming the battery got messed up during phantom charging, in tthis case calibration doesnt help, nor does flashing another rom. Flashing another rom leaves the phone stuck in MTP mode therefore unable to use it as a flash drive.
A vid on youtube reccomends replacing the part of the circuit board to which the charger port is attached and as well as the battery at the same time as the battery always gets messed up with the overvoltage issue....
When i have overvoltage i cannot charge even when its under 10%, unless i leave the charger in and reboot the phone it will then charge once it comes back on and it even says GOOD HEALTH until i unplug the charger.
I'd really like a definite solution to the overvoltage issue...
Bump!
Did anyone find an answer to this problem? Mine has started exhibiting the same behaviour. I haven't been able to search out any solutions...
Cheers, PF.
EDIT: Whoops! Just realised I'd better change that signature to SGS2-able. lol
I am also seeing the same issue for the past 3-4 days, I have switched off the phone and took out the battery, planning to visit samsung support center.
I hard rebooted the phone(which reset it to factory) that did'nt help.
will update once I get more info/help from Samsung support.
Vikas
i had the same problem as you guys and i fixed it by cleaning the contacts on the phone where you connect the charger. use some cotton buds and a needle and some alcohol and clean all the contacts at the bottom of the phone (usb cable slot).
make sure phone is turned off tho whilst doing it. that fixed my over voltage issue.
Hi Guys,
I went to Samsung Mobile Support Center today, they told me that USB mini port has turned slightly green, which means that it has in contact with Water
this will not be covered under warranty and might need to be replaced with charges
Tomorrow they will tell me the exact cost.
I still believe, its not an issue of Power port but with the battery port.
will update if I am able to get it solved.
It's a problem with your usb charging port. 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.
Also alot of people are having this issue- yours is about the 5th topic I've seen about this problem this week
Hi Guys,
My problem is solved. Samsung support replaced charging port and the chip it was in(total cost 650/- INR, about 13$)
now phone is working as before.
i have the same problem on my gs2, so can i fixed this problem by cleaning the mini usb port?

Cleaning the usb port will/might help with phantom charging , but not overvoltage.....
For Overvoltage you may need to replace the whole USB port part of the circuit board (easily obtainable on EBAY) and you have to replace the battery at the same time as well cause the battery (also easily obtainable off ebay) gets damaged with the overvoltage problem.
I have ordered both about a week ago, awaiting 3 weeks for it to arrive to my country.
Good luck with that...
Theres videos on youtube of how to do the repair for overvoltage yourself...
Will report back here if circuit replacement worked for me...

When you open your s2 for the first time it is tough, but after that it is very easy...
I have already opened mine before to replace the loudspeaker, so it is now easy for me.
Heres the video of how to open your s2:

Heres the video of how to replace the charger port circuit:

(or do a YOUTUBE search for "Galaxy S2 USB Flex Cable Replacement ")
This video also has comments that explain the cause of this problem...!!!!!!!!!!
That is the part you need to replace, the USB FLEX CABLE...(its the ribbon cable and the board, but they call it a flex cable)
Hope they help you.

Hi,
Since 1 week now I have some huge difficulties to charge my GS3. For exemple when I plug it before going to sleep, in the morning there is only 50%. Sometimes I plug it and it stop the charge itself (not at 100%), i have to move the cable a little to continue the charge.
I tried several cable and plugs, nothing change.
Does anybody experienced this? What can I do?
Ps : I already read this post but I didn't find any answer.
Thx
I presume you charged the phone through the AC power? I had similar issue prior which was resolved once I wiped my Battery Stats. Is your phone rooted?
yes my phone is rooter I have omega V35 ROM and i already tried to wipe the battery stats and nothing changed
Im sure you have also clear cache, wipe, reflash the ROM? Its highly unlikely that all of your chargers are malfunctioning, If the phone is still within the warranty period, it may be time for you to visit Samsung Service Centre (SSC)...but unroot first!
same issue here

no i didn't tried to reflash the ROM cause it was working great with this ROM before, I contacted samsung and they will repare it but i need to find the bill first. Is it really necessary to unroot the phone? Installing a stock ROM is good or is there something else to do to unroot it?

unrooting is in reference to returing to stock ROM. SSC will invalid warranties to rooted phones.
i just reflash the ROM and the phone is still very slow to charge.
I will send back to samsung i think.
i just installed the Omage ROM V38 and i still have the problem, you can look at this graph :
Take battery out for 10 minutes. Plug back in and see. If not possibly battery port issue, my wife's had to be sent back for it.

So different USB cables didn't helped? That usually does the trick. Other than that try kernel such as yank kernel which allows fast charging option.

First flash STOCK ROM and see what's gonna happen.
If the problem still persists, send your phone for service.
Make sure there are no signs of custom ROMs and Kernels.
Solution is the CABLE
Here is a confirmation of the solution from Turkey: It IS the CABLE...
Check the cable end that goes into the S3, if you see 5 places but with only 4 wires, it charges VERY slowly... However, I used a $5 charger which had 5 wires in the end that goes into galaxy S3 and voila!

My stock Samsung cable has those 4 connections instead of, what looks like the 5 that can fit in. And it charges so slowly!
9/10 its the cable. I don't know bout what is said above. Mine charged fast then suddenly started charging slowly. It was to do with the kernels usb charger stability detection.
Changed cable and all good

So if I install stock Android, will that change the kernal and therefore fix the issue?
I don't see why I should have to pay and wait for a new cable, even if it's only a few quid and a few days :/

All Samsung kernels have the detection. Whether changing the kernel or cable fixes it or not is not knowable.
all you can do is try. can you not borrow a cable to test it? Surely you know someone with a cable?
yes, mine s3 to does charge slow i have the Purelook HD rom please help, take my phone on charger from 4& next morning about 50- 60 & only charged!!
I have a similar issue here, although my problem only started with latest arhd 25.0 Rom, never had this with previous roms of arhd....some times the charge is very fast , then next time it will charge to 19% then stop, then next time it's fast then will be very slow... very intermittent, I have changed chargers. Still same results, going to try wipe the battery stats to see if that helps.

Recently ive been getting this thing that my phone wont charge on an AC charger straight away.
I have to plug it in my PCs usb cable, then plug it in AC so it will charge i have tried 3 different AC chargers , all Samsungs original ones!
It stopped doing this for a cople of weeks then started again.. ive also tried a couple of roms but the rom doesnt seem to be an issue.. Atn im running NeatROM 4.2 with the stock PhilZ kernel.
Any ideas??

Clean install of stock in the first instance to rule in/out hardware issues. If it happens with a clean install of stock as well; Clean USB port, then replace USB port/flex cable, then return to service centre as probably issue with charging/USB circuitry if the first two don't help.
Okay, ill try an Stock install when i have time.. service center is not an option since i bought it used and doesnt have an warranty anymore.. if i cant get it fix i think ill sell it and let someone else deal with the issue, lol

Might want to check battery stuff as well while you're at it; clean the contacts in the phone/on the battery, maybe try another battery depending on how keen you are. Given how long the phone has been out, original batteries should be starting to die off in their droves right about now (and earlier if you charge/discharge a lot).
I've got some problems with my S2, especially with charging it.
For a while now it charges extremely slow, as in +12 hours for a full charge.
The problems started when a faulty after market charger messed up my battery …
I've tried, without any result:
Different chargers (450, 750, 1000mah) AC/USB
New batteries, different brands
Replaced usb flex cable
Cleared battery stats
Full factory reset (full wipe, cleared everything, back to stock rom and kernel)
When plugged in, i usually waites a minute before telling me it's charging.
A full charge will take all night, and then after maybe 10 minutes after unplugging the charge drops to 80%, the rest of the day the battery stats seem to be ok.
I've tried to check the current using app's but they all state a 0mah charge (while charging)
The only alternative i see now is to use a external charger for the batteries and keep switching them, but that would be a hassle i hope to avoid.
I'm running out of ideas, and i really hope somebody here can help me out!

It could possibly be a fault with the micro USB port, you have done almost everything I would've done, but I would have done a couple of flashes 1. I would try changing the kernel 2. I would try a complete flash with a stock firmware.
If even those two failed then it's definitely a hardware issue, most probably a faulty micro USB port, or something else on the motherboard.

Thanks for your quick response.
I did change the kernel, it used to be a siyah kernel, and now it's a complete stock.
So yeah, i did both the flashes you suggested, aswel as replacing the micro usb.
Does anybody know about other hardware parts that handle the charging?
Maybe something else on the motherboard is busted.
Given everything you've already tried, that sounds more likely than not. If you can do so cheaply, have a local mobile repair shop take a look. If that ends up being the case, you can then look for a 2nd hand motherboard from a 'donor' phone/phone with a broken screen & swap the board out yourself or pay said local mobile repair shop to do it.

Before one month ago a strange problem appeared.i flashed different roms and kernels but a few days later after a complete dischargeof the battery when I completely charged my phone with the charger it tried to reboot and it didn't pass the boot screen.This problem was solved only with a full wipe and a reflash of a rom.But if I try to use the charger instead of pc to charge my phone or if I complete discharge it sometimes It will not boot.i tried a lot of different roms and kernels without success .any ideas what causing this problem?

Probably the USB board/port. KeithRoss39 has a guide in General (not stickied; search for 'replace USB charger board') which will enable you to replace it yourself quickly/easily/cheaply (<US$15).

Ok thank you very much for your answer.Do you think that it could be the charger instead of usb board/port because it seems that if i try to charge it via usb cable from pc or if i try another charger it will boot normaly but the problem is that i don't know for sure because i only use my charger when the phone is completely discharged (turned off) ,i usually have my phone connected to pc all the time,so i also suspect that it may be the reboot that causes the phone to boot loop and it may be not connected to the charging proccess at all.What is your opinion ?
Also is there any way to test my usb board/port to see if it working correctly before replacing it ?

Might be the charger, so try a new one if you like. But don't be surprised if you end up having to replace the USB board after. The issues you described with booting/not booting sound like symptoms of the USB board on the fritz.
When the boards start dying, they rarely stop working completely (at least initially), and often show a couple of faults, but work OK in other ways (might be able to transfer data OK but can't charge as an example, and so on).
As a test, do a completely clean install of stock & test it for a few days, if you see the same thing, it's fairly likely the hardware fault. Up to you which way you want to go in that case, but I'd be replacing the board.
Edit - In light of your post just now which crossed with my reply, it's definitely the USB board. You've tried different chargers, you've tried stock, that seals the deal as far as I'm concerned. Put it this way, if it's not the board, it's something else hardware-wise.

Ok i will start testing then and replace the usb board if needed.Another thing that confuse me is why the phone boots with a full wipe and re-install of a rom ?Also in what way the USB board can affect the booting proccess?

I don't think that anybody outside of Samsung themselves would be able to tell you why one of their phones acts the way it does.....they know their hardware and the way software interacts with it in a way that nobody else can.
All I know is that I've handled TWO S2's with faulty USB ports, and they have exhibited various symptoms as a result.......
1) phone displayed charging icon even if it wasn't plugged in.
2) phone NOT charging even though it WAS plugged in.
3) PC/Laptop not recognising phone when USB connected.
4) phone randomly shut down.
5) phone would not boot unless boot option in CWM selected.......
I could go on, but you probably get the picture.
These issues stopped occurring on both devices as soon as I'd replaced the USB assembly......
Choice is yours fella, but I know what I'd be doing.

I replaced the usb board about a month ago but i still have bootloop issues that appear randomly.
I also have some other issues now.
First of all when i try to transfer files from/to pc the copy procedure will stop at some point and then windows does not recognize my phone or a pop up window appear asking to fix my drive but when i try to fix it says that the drive has no problems.
Apart from that if i try to remove the battery and then put it again with the charger still connected to the phone the battery percentage fall from 100% to 10%-15%.
I dont know if all these problems are related but it seems that the usb board is not responsible for these issues because i have the same problems with 2 different boards.Any ideas what else hardware-wise might be ?
Thanks in advance !

The only reason that i mention it is because then i had the faulty usb board and i used ODIN for the procedure but it passed all stages succesfully.
Mate.....remapping the partitions with a pit file is a pretty major thing to forget to mention.....
It's pretty advanced and/or risky to start messing with pit files.....it's also something i've never done, so i'm unsure of the consequences.......apart from the obvious 'permabrick' risk.
I don't even know how you'd revert to the factory set partitions if you needed to.....though i'd guess it'd involve flashing another pit file. All the issues you've previously mentioned (apart from the battery) *could* have been caused by the pit file and that being the case, you're lucky it wasn't a whole lot worse. As for the battery, that could simply be the fact that batteries do fail, and if yours is the original, this is probably the case given the age of the phone and the fact that Samsung only offers a 6 month warranty on the battery anyway.......
Sorry fella, but as there's a pit file flash involved, you've moved into territory that I can no longer advise on........
