Hi,
I have my SGS3 from march of the last year.
And recently I feel the phone very slow and randomly get freezing in almost all apps. Sometimes I charge my phone and get frezze when is charging, even when is off and the phone wont charge. If I disconnect the charger and connect again the phone charge fine
I have my phone rooted.
Recently I do a reset factory and wipe data,cache and dalvik. And the performance issues persist.
Anyone have this problems.
I think it' time to buy another phone (I don't want to, I'm broke now :crying
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky thread, to flash a stock rom with odin. Find the latest stock from your country at Sammobile.com.
There is a huge thread on freezing issues, in general forum.

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

I think I'll wait few more iterations just in case
First of all, I saw the other treads with similar names but its not the same problem.
I don't kow if it has something to do with it but in the las couple of weaks I've being installing different CM9 nightlies.
Thing is that since about a week the phone doesn't charge the battery, It does recognizes when I plug it (shows the plug icon), and even recognizes it as usb when plugged to the PC.
Also the same battery on a different phone charges normally and has a normal duration.
Also (don't know if related, but happened at the same time), the gyroscope stoped working properly, sometimes the screen turn, sometimes it doesn't.
So, to sum up:
-Battery works on other phones.
-The connector recognizes when plugged and USB works as expected.
-Also sometimes it doesn't realize that it was unplugged and keeps sayng (charging)
-Gyroscope is not working correctly.
-If I take the battery of, and connect the phone to the wall it does't react at all.
My impression is that the connector it's failing to pass juice up (either phone or battery)
Any chance this is only a softare problem?
i think it doesn't have anything to do with software...though there is a post in how to fix the non-stop-charging issue that aparently fix it...i guess it could fix urs...
any way basicaly the post said that u must format system, dalvik cache data etc and use de s2cleanner (the one that is for clean kernels) and re-install everithing again....but...i really think that both issues are hardware related...
Any change you know the link to this thread or where to download the cleaner (in google shows up a win app that I think it's not related at all)
Thanks!
I think you r using siyah kernel yes?
If u r using siyah then it is easy to fix
Cheers corey

No idea, but I have only installed CM Roms so, I guess it should be a CM kernel. If so.... what would that easy fix be?
Well I had the same problem you have a few weeks back, and it was because the cm team changed some stuff in the rom, so that with the siyah v3.3 kernel it wouldn't work, but then the siyah Dev released a newer kernel which fixed the issue.
Try flashing the latest s2 siyah kernel and see if it fix the problem

Just flashed Siyah 3.3.2, but the battery is still losing juice while plugged.
Have you tried re flashing a stock rom with odin?. If r that doesn't work it means either your charger or phone r broken

Problem with USB/charging circuitry. We see it all the time on here. Back to stock/reset flash counter & send it in for warranty service.
Ok, thanks to all of you guys. Sad news there
Have you tried cleaning the connector? I'd try that before sending it off to samsung

Hello,
I think I have hard bricked my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 (France)
It was working well with the official Kies ICS update.
I installed Sygic Navigation Trial app from Play Store.
Then I started Sygic. It asked me to select maps to download.
I selected some and started download.
When download reached 1800M over 2400M my phone suddenly stopped working. The screen was freezed.
There was no response either from the home key neither the power button.
I removed the battery.
Now the phone doesn't start anymore. There is nothing on the screen. No samsung logo, no battery indicator. No sound. No vibration.
Could someone please help?
I suggest you send it to samsung service center

Yes I have tried all key combinations.
The phone had just been charged all night before.

So many SIIs dying due to weird reasons recently, dafuq? Mine died twice already! First time was fixed with a free new battery from sammy but now its dead again...... same reason i think. I let the battery run from 100% to 0% and now its dead Battery dont wanna charge no boot no screens no vibrations... Something is wrong in there...
I still cannot power on my sgs2.
What I have noticed is that when I let the battery in the phone, 10 min after I can feel some heat like if the CPU is working at 800mhz.
I think that the phone is endlessly trying to boot, but resets even before reaching the first samsung logo.
My fear is that the mmc chip is corrupted. I heard there was bugs in the emmc firmware with the wear leveling.

Hello XDA I think this is my first question here so please try not to bully me to much in case I'm asking something that was answered before , although I did search for my problem and I didn't find it here.
So it started like 1 week ago , nothing actually changed to my phone since I started having this problem.
First please take a look at the 2 images i attached to see the odd behavior.
So it first begins when I see a STOP sign at the 3g connectivity icon,indicating me that there is not sim inserted(this is not true i always have my sim inserted) and the first thing i do is try to restart the phone,when it opens again the battery level is 1% and if I leave it like this for a few minutes it closes just like my battery would actually be empty,after I remove the battery and open it again it shows me something like 13% and rapidly discharging,after that drains also I remove the battery again and wait like 5 minutes and then try to open it again,it has more than 45% battery left,also if I try to use it as I would normally do if i really had that much battery left, the 3g connectivity icon turns to "No sim stop sign" and it just does that randomly even if I am not using the data plan at all.
I must mention that I did not charge the phone between the images!
I want to know,could this be from software or is it something physic damaged in my phone ?
I am using ICS 4.0.4 updated with Kies and my phone is not rooted.
Sometime i got the same issue, but I use custom rom and kernel.
Recommend you not to update via Kies, it may cause many problems. You may need boot into stock recovery ( Turn off, then hold Volume Up+Home+ Power, while boot logo appears, unhold Power button). In recovery, clear cache. If it does not resolve, try to download firmware from Sammobile, and flash using Odin, i think that 's better.
In my case, it may happen after flashing other kernel. Just remove battery from phone for 30 min or more, and then place it.
Its a known issue for all galaxy s2 handsets (probably with more, I'm not sure). Its a problem of the fuel gauge in our device which unfortunately cannot be fixed. Wiping battery stats won't help, as acknowledged by Google devs. However, I believe that an option in Siyah kernel is there to reset the fuel gauge, which may work (I haven't tested it personally).

Thanks for info, fortunately I still have warranty and I will send it tomorrow.
Hi there,
For a few days now I have been experiencing random reboots of my phone and I've always just thought that it was the ROM I was on (Omega) as I did not update it for a time (Not too long). Now the phone has decided to keep rebooting and I have installed a recovery of a stock ROM. It also won't turn on sometimes and when it does it just shows a picture of a battery when plugged into a charger. Sometimes it shows charge and sometimes it says there is no charge at all. It also turns itself off sometimes when plugged into a charger. I am not sure whether this is SDS? Any ideas to save my S3?
Cheers,
Jon

Try changing the battery. Confirmed to be working by some users.
Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it for you.
Flash a full stock firmware with odin and factory reset, if still the same then it's hardware.

Have you even thought about it possibly being your battery? I've had problems with my battery in the past and just replacing it has fixed most issues.

Flashed a stock ROM, unrooted as well. Problems still occurred and now trying a factory reset. If that doesn't work then I will try a new battery. If all else fails it may have to go back to Samsung as I'm still under warranty.
You should have really tried replacing your battery before anything. It seems like that's the problem
