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.

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

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
ive searched xda for a couple of days, ive googled, ive youtubed. and nothing has helped. seems like not many people are having this problem. but i recently got a galaxy s2 i777. stock GB firmware. stock everything. everything on it worked fine all connections and all the other good stuff. the only problem is when i try to charge it via wall charger it automatically shuts off and flashes the battery charging over and over again. (btw when i plugged in i CAN boot into download mode) same thing happens when plugged via usb. So i got tired and i odined flashed ICS because i read that would fix many bugs.. to my surprise it fixed the battery flashing issue and now when its off and plugged in it charges like it normally would but i CANNOT boot up when its connected to any power source. and even on ICS it still shuts itself off when plugged in. i need to know how i can get it to stay turned on when charging.
sorry if its a little long guys. i hope you can help me solve this problem, and to the ones that are gonna ask why i started a new thread just for this.. well because no one else seems to be having my specific problem. tThank you guys so much in advance for your help
Are you using an after market battery? If yes, try swapping it out with a factory one

Stock sgs2 att batteries?
(⊙＿⊙)
Sounds like the battery is the problem. Make sure the battery you have is NFC. Immediately under the Samsung logo at the top on both sides, it should say Near Field Communication.
The other option of course is to try flashing a different Rom and kernel and see if the problem persists. But they're most likely correct, you'll probably need a new stock battery. Some phones you can use a battery bought from anywhere, our phones are just kinda temperamental. Most likely because of the NFC capability but that's just a guess.

When using a stock Sammy Rom you need a stock battery w/NFC. A Aokp/Cm9 can sometimes use an after market battery. I found that out after buying one without NFC and it did what you describe. Right now I am running Task AOKP with non NFC batt and everything is fine.

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.
Hello!
This is my first post here but I know people here are generally very helpful since I have been playing around with roms on my i9100 quite a bit the last year, and I have never had any problems - until yesterday when I installed the last cm10 nightlies. It simply won't charge. I tried over night with the AC and now all day with the USB cable plugged into the computer, but no charging. Now it is completely empty and I can't even get into CWM recovery mode to do a factory reset or restore a backup.
The only activity I get at all is that the phone restarts continuously while plugged into the computer (windows 8), only to realize it's battery is empty, and then reboots, and so on...
So, to my question: Can this have anything to do with the rom? Or is it more likely to be hardware? Any help is highly appreciated!

I have had a similar problem on a Nokia phone. What I did was switched it off, charged it(from a company charger) , kept it off for some time with battery removed and later turned it on, and presto everything normal.
I don't know what could have caused it or your problem, but if you could give more info like whether you did something like installing an app or something we could recommend things like a factory reset from the recovery menu, or a cache/dalvik wipe and a reboot (which I would recommend to make sure it ain't software related)

I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.

Remove the battery and switch it on after a couple of hours, and test whether your battery is working fine with an other phone.
After which if the problem still persist :
Try to turn it on in recovery or download mode.... If it again persist its time to send it for repair. If you can access download mode flash a rom and it might correct the problem.

I had a very similar with my Motorola Gleam which I solved by reinstalling the Motorola drivers, why don't you try that.
