hi,
i'm not sure if this is the right place(or maybe in android dev forum), so let me know if you know a better place to put this thread.
i have a strange problem with my phone:
1. after charging battery stays at 100% all the time, even after a day, only after a reboot it gets fixed.
2. when powering off the phone and connecting to USB, the phone showed green battery icon, now it doesn't it just start to boot.
3. usb is not recognized by the computer anymore.
i cannot use the usual combo to get into recovery, i've managed by pulling out the battery(the download mode procedure) to get into recovery ?!
just noticed another strange thing, in battery status i see unplugged for 0 seconds, even though the phone is unplugged for an hour or so.
i've used nero V3, and thought maybe putting new rom will help.
so i've installed M3 flagship.
but still problems 2 and 3 remains(problem 1 i didn't check yet since i don't have
the accurate battery mod)
thanks for the help.

Those are weird problems. I would just start all over and odin back to stock. Then flash whatever rom you want. Don't forget to check the repartition box in odin

Sounds like it could be an issue with the micro USB port on the phone.
Just to make sure it's not a software issue try flashing back to stock JFD using Odin and see if it continues to happen.
can't odin back as my computer is saying that "the device is not recognized" and the phone still shows full instead of not charging when i disconnect it from the computer.

So while the phone is unplugged and stays unplugged if you pull the battery then put it back in does the battery charging screen still come up on its own even when unplugged?

yes,
while when the phone is plugged in and im pulling the usb out, it still shows that it's charging. only after boot it get fixed.
Plug usb to computer. Pull the battery. Hold both up and down volume buttons together. Plug usb to phone. Then put battery back in. See if that can get you into download mode

if you got the vibrant screen, that's not bad. What error in windows? not recognizing usb? the usb not recognize...does your pc have antivirus with latest def? what os version were you running on phone? have you made any changes to your pc lately like install anything? if not, have you try cold start your computer?
can you get into download mode?
try this [while power off or pull battery, put it back] hold down both volume + and -, now hook in usb cable, it will power itself up and put it into download mode.

i get in windows the "usb no recognized error" i see in device manager "unknown device"
i did reinstall the samsung drivers on my windows 7 x64.
i've also connected it to a vista 32bit with the same error, and my friend's windows 7 x64(he has i9000) and didn't get any alert at all from windows ?!
i've tried with:
nero V3
flagship V3
bionix-v
one more thing is, when looking in SGS tools on battery status i see the voltage/ADC/VF ADC values change all the time but the value of level stays at 100%
update: now i see in SGS tools that the battery went down 80% so this part works fine.

ive got the same problem. Flashing back to stock wont work.. For me it seems hardware related. Ive heard from other forums thats its corrosion in the usb port itself. Im gonna try cleaning it even though im sure thats not gonna fix it. On my phone my battery indicator will stay at 100% untill its been used for about 50% of battery then it will start reading correctly. Of course when you plug it in the charging indicator stays on untill its 100% even if the usb is not plugged in. I flashed back to stock using odin. as long as you have a usb connected notification load up odin with everything plugged in hold pwr+vol up+down untill your phone turns OFF then let go of just the power button you should see the robot digging. Then you can do whatever you want with odin, which at this point of my frustration isnt s*&$.... I really think that its just a crappy usb port design.... Let me know if you find something out.
OK guys, finally I have fixed that issue. Problem is with micro usb(corrosion). You just need take battery out, and clean micro usb port with alcohol and tooth brush very good. That's all what you need to do.

Hello
I'd like to put a s2 in my car but I'd like that the phone boots when it receives power to usb.
Do you knoy any rom that allows that ? The phone should be totally off but when plugging to usb it would boot.
thanks

In a nutshell...
I can ONLY get into download mode on my phone and only when I pull the battery, plug the USB cable in, hold the volume up/down, put the battery in and then download mode will start. This is the only mode I can get my phone into.
I've tried using ODIN from this website and got stuck on cache.frs for about 5 tries, switched USB ports and tried again... Same result.
I then downloaded everything onto my gf's moms laptop and tried ODIN again and was getting stuck on "analzying file," switched USB ports and the same thing, stuck on "analyzyng file".
My exact process is either.... pull the battery, plug the USB into the phone, hold volume up/down, put the battery back in, download mode opens, run ODIN as Administrator, load .tar and pda files and then hit start or...
The exact same process, except I unplug the USB cable after download mode begins, run ODIN then plug the USB cord in again.
Nothing seems to be working. I know it's basic but I feel I've read everything I can and I literally have 20+ tabs open on my computer, any help would be appreciated. I just want to get my phone working again.
Thank you.
Did you try checking re-partition in Odin? Also run as administrator.
It shouldn't matter but just curious what version of Odin are you using?
What ROM were you running?

Try different USB cable as well. Very common that one won't work, even if it previously has worked.
Start Odin before you put your phone into Download Mode.
Also, instead of just unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in, pull the battery and put it into Download Mode before you plug your USB back in each time.
Hi all, trying to flash new firmware, when I go to turn off the phone, it doesn't turn off just restarts immediatly?!
Help please!
Try >adb reboot bootloader, this should reboot the phone ready to be flashed.

If you're not using adb, connect USB to PC and phone then power off while holding down (to get to flashmode,) you should still get the green LED turn on.
Xperia Z2 Wont turn off while charging.!!
Hello , I can't charge my phone turning off. It shuts down when usb or charger is disconnected but when i connect the switched off phone to charger , it turns on.
same issue as op. phone keeps powering itself back on. Also, when i connect to a charger or pc, it keeps reconnecting itself every second.
