Hello there,
A few weeks ago my galaxy S2 started have a strange behavior..It suddenly started getting hot so much that i felt it in my pocket as it was burning..That effect lasted 2-3 days and then it died..
I Ordered a new battery couple of days ago and the phone seems resurrected...Booted up without any problem and worked fine for 2 days.
Then today it died again..I tried to open (should have a 90% of battery by that moment cause it was updated to a fresh rom a couple of hours ago) it and i felt it hot, then i realized that it was dead again..Not booting up,not charging,...
Seems that the problem is that those batteries died, cause i tested them in a friends s2 and they are not working there,too..But with his battery my phone boots again?!??!
Any thoughts where is the problem and if its worth fixing it?

Hi xda forum users...
I have a X10i, and then 2 weeks ago i bought a X10 mini pro for my wife...
She have not used it for that mutch, only a little talk and a few sms messages...
It was not rooted, and have not been under any hard hardware use...
The last few days the battery was really bad, in the morning it said 100% charged, but after only 6 hours it went dead...
Then today, the phone went dead after again 5 or 6 hours, but now it cant charge anymore, and the phone is dead...
Not even a little light or the vibrator shows/feels if you try to turn it on...
I have offcource tried my charger also, and tried my phone on her charger, to see if it perhaps was her charger that was dead, but no...
So my question is:
Have you heard of any other with the same problems, or have we perhaps just been that unlucky to get a faulty phone ??
Had mine for 2.5 weeks now. Battery lasts for ~1.5 days, everything works fine. Even dropped it by accident twice and there don't seem to be any issues.
Since you haven't messed with it it would be easy to get a replacement.
Mine hasn't had any issues but my mate also bought one and just like yours it had a sucky battery and refused to charge after 4 days.
He went to the store and they immediately replaced it, the storekeeper suspected there was some fault in the wiring.
So my battery since its from when I got e vibrant is old. Went to buy a new one and my friend was all no dude I got one took it out his drawer tossed me it and all was good. Few days later the phone started turning off by it's self. since I'm running cm9 nighties I figured it could of been an issue with that.
Wiped reinstalled still same issue.. Didn't have time to mess with it (Odin to stock)so I switched to a different phone for the time being
Cleaning my work area to dig into the phone see what's going on I just noticed the battery my friend gave me says "replacement for epic touch 4G/D710" on it... But it's still a li-ion 3.7 v battery but it's 1800mAh not the 1500 as came stock
Could this be causing my random turn off issues?
Hi everyone! I've a problem that's bothering me since i've bought this phone. Let's start from the first day when my beautiful gs2 arrived and there's no way it would turn on, i tried charge the battery but it didn't work too, it displayed the grey battery logo and then reboot in a loop. Then magically after some hours it started working. After a few months the phone started rebooting or powering off by itself and after a few more weeks it wouldn't turn on or charge like the first day and like that it returned to life after few days. I took it to a samsung point and they changed the usb connector.
It all worked fine for a few months and then here we were again and the phone died and turn to life after few days and also this time they changed the usb connector.
Now it's begun rebooting again and i think it won't turn on few weeks from now.
I've noticed that when the phone reboot there's a vertical drop in the battery charge, almost to zero, only to recharges by itself instantaneously after rebooting. Few days ago the phone didn't reboot but the battery charge went instantaneously from 60% to 10% and then started slowly charging by itself till almost 25%.
What do you think about it? I'm starting to think the problem is the battery chip that control the charge, is it possible? It's integrated in the battery right? so if i change it the gs2 would be ok?
i would personally try another battery.
if that doesnt work, it might be the u503 chip on the phone.
i recently had an issue with that chip after slight water damage (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462207) and noticed the same issue with the battery level, and it not turning on sometimes. tried with 3 different batteries and had the same problem.
got rid of the u503 chip, and its working fine now.
The problem is i don't have another battery. I tried the battery of a friend and it came back to life but there's no way to tell if it did the trick because it's random. The other times one second it was dead and the next one it was working again even without changing anything.
In my case when the phone reboot it doesn't get hotter so i think it's different from yours. More over is still under warranty so it's better not to touch it yet
Hi I have two Samsung S3s and I flashed both of them with blisspop a few weeks ago. One I bought 14 months ago off giffgaff the other is about 2 years old off virgin mobile.
Both phones appear to run well when connected to the mains charger but when I take them off charge after approx 30 mins of use, the screen backlight begins to flicker and then the phone goes to the Samsung SIII spalsh and begins to bootloop until I connect the charger at which point the phone boots and begins optimising apps. When the phone comes back on it shows low battery usually 4% even if the battery was 75% when it shutdown.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what the problem could be? I have searched this forun and Google but can't find the exact problem. When I first noticed it, I did think it could be the battery on its way out but as its both phones I don't think so and they both charged and discharged fine before I flashed them. I have also tryed cm11 and cm12 and the problem is exactly the same in all roms for me.
Thanks Paul.
Maybe the battery connection is loose with the electrodes.
Hi,
Just wondering what steps I should take next and if this has happened to anyone else.
My phone constantly reboots or gets stuck at the boot logo and requires a battery pull the past few days, only between 3pm and 8pm. The rest of the night and the rest of the day the phone is perfectly fine.
It started Monday 10/3. I took the phone out of my pocket as I walked to my car 5pm after work and noticed a reboot...but thought nothing of it. At dinner time I put the phone in the table and noticed a reboot...but since the phone worked still...I ignored it.
Tuesday, starting at 4pm...my phone rebooted many times..or was stuck at the boot logo...making the phone unusable. I ate dinner with the phone off...and it was fine after dinner.
I decided to swap to a spare battery. Both genuine Lg batteries...direct from Lg. Wednesday...the phone was on my desk...and around 415pm the phone rebooted without me touching it ...just sitting in my desk. Unusable again until 8pm...no matter how many times I pulled the battery.
I was charging my phone from 1pm - 4pm everyday...so I thought it might have something to do with the battery being full.
Today, Thursday...same thing as Wednesday, except at 3 pm it started rebooting and getting stuck. Lasted until 8pm. This time I didn't charge my phone in the afternoon.
Any ideas? My phone was rooted 6 months ago...but I never installed any Roms or anything...just rooted it and kept it stock.

You say it is only happening at very specific times? Try setting system clock to the time when it usually happens to see if it is some sort of software issue. If you can trigger by changing clock, then reflashing stock rom should fix it. If not it may be a underlying hardware problem.
I feel like it may be a charging issue. Ive had it reboot when charging in the car now...or shortly after it charges...so not just a time issue. The odd thing is it happens to both my batteries.
I got a new phone yesterday anyways. Apparently yesterday was the last day best buy let's you do a 2 year contract upgrade on the everything data 1500 plan. I think the only way to get contract pricing is through sprint.com now. So I'm glad I got in on the best buy deal.
