Not sure if this is the right forum or page for this thread but here goes. I have an Android phone that has worked flawlessly for me. A couple of weekends ago I went out to eat with some friends and forgot my phone at home. When I got home I found my phone sitting on top of my shop vac where I left it. I noticed that the battery indicator showed the phone almost dead which was odd. I put it on the charger over night as I always do. The next day I noticed the phone losing about 10% battery every hour. I assume the magnet in the motor on the shop vac has done something to my phone. I tried 2 other batteries and got the same result. I reset the phone and also forced a reflash and still the same problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this??????
Just to be clear, the phone can usually go 2 days before it would go totally dead and literally changed that day.
anyone? Is there a way to reverse the damage or repair?

i have read the whole post and just suggest you to check your battery status
by the way this can be occurs due to faulty battery connect pin in mobile(actually i don't know what its called)
i think its hardware issue
megnet can only affect your memory devices

I have an unusual problem (at least for me ). I never had it on my Blackstone.
When turning of, or restarting my Leo (soft or hard reset), everything works fine. But, if I take out the battery and then try to turn it on (what is necessary when flashing a new ROM), I can't turn it on...
I mean, I succeed in than after trying for about half an hour... and I never know how I have done that... whit what combination of keys, or while connected on battery charger or something else...
That is very frustrating and even more because I have just received my replacement battery, but if it is going to take me every time half an hour of trying to succeed in turning it on, and even not knowing if I'm going to be able to do that, I see no sense in having a replacement battery...
can anybody help me? Is there any way to find out what is wrong with my device?
Just pressing the end key for about a second and letting it go works for me ...
Sounds like you may have a hardware issue ....

You could try leaving the battery out over night, also check the battery pins make sure they did not get bent, that seems to be a common problem with this phone ...

yeap... the problem is in the battery pins...
I have to be very careful in putting the battery in, because the pins don't sit very well...
thanks a lot for your help... now at least I know where the problem is and how to avoid it...
My other half has a galaxy s 2 and tonight it ran out of battery, I've stuck it on charge but its not registering that its charging. She hasn't dropped it or got it wet, its just decided it don't want to work, but my main concern is the pictures I want saved, can I retrieve them some how or even save the phone?
Have you checked more than one charger to see if it is not the phone? Battery might also be in need of replacement.I don't think the phone will do anything if the battery is dead.
That would be the first two things I would check.
Seriously... Please use a descriptive title when posting. You'll get more help that way and ppl who don't know the answer won't need to read the post.

Hi , Yeh I have tryed alternative chargers but still no life in it. Looking at trying another battery, jus seems like it could be a hardware fault.
Thanks.
Hello everybody. As you can see I am new here. Sorry if i shouldnt post here.
I got a battery issue on my galaxy s2. I got it 2 weeks ago.
I got of the battery to 40%, then I turned the phone off to clean the interior a little, but when I got the battery back and turned the phone on, i saw that it dropped from 40% to 28%. I was shocked. Why is that? Is there any fix for this?
I will attach a screen capture for you to see. (the yellow part at the end).
Cheers,
GanTre

use the phone and the battery will recalibrate itself .
clean ??? water in the phone ??? leaking electric during clean up
jje
Water? Of course not, just cleaning, normal cleaning. Its a electric device. I am noob with smartphones, but i am not an idiot .
Recalibrate? Why it has to recalibrate?
I am very mad because I just lost more 12% percent of my battery for.. nothing?!

Try google battery life battery usage and all the rest.

You can only lose 12% by you doing something wrong .
two of your above statements are correct .

I know what you mean mate I like to keep things I pay alot of money for clean too
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Im glad someone understands me. I like to keep things clean in general, not only the expensive things.
Read very slowly
You lost battery 12% when you cleaned you did nothing but cleaqn .
So the act of cleaning drained the battery .
jje
Yeah, that happens when you reboot for some reason... its quite annoying. In actuality you don't lose any % at all; it just appears that way. As JJEgan said the battery will re calibrate itself, you don't have to do anything. It will automatically re correct and show the proper value.
Stop being an annoying guy. I cleaned the phone from dust, not from applications ffs.
TTandroidguy, thanks!
no prob. did it go back up or did you put it to charge straight away?
It happened around 17:00 pm, and I charged the battery at 23 pm, i saw that the battery recovers, like jje said. The phone was siting on the table at 28%, when i switched the screen on(about 30 mins later), it was at 34, so the battery recovers.
What kind off software You are using

You mean firmware, and it's irrelevant.

I use 2.3.6.
Hi there, and thanks for taking the time to view my thread.
Recently I've had a problem where my phone will get really hot around the camera area just from doing simple tasks like texting and then it will instantly shut off without warning. If I turn it back on, the battery indicator drops from 100% to around 5% and it will turn off again in about 10 seconds. I'm running the latest CM stable build and I've never had any issue with it before, this is just something that has started in the past couple of weeks.
I tried changing batteries as I thought that might be the issue, but when I place my other battery inside the phone to charge it the screen just keeps turning on and going to the grey battery and flicking off. Tried leaving it for a couple of hours like that but no luck. The battery that currently works feels like it's swollen slightly on one side (if that makes sense?) and so I don't really want to continue using it.
If I've been at all vague or you need any more information, tell me what and I'll try my best to get it
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
Your symptoms all point to a bad battery. If the battery swells then it is in a bad conditions. If you can spin thr battery on a flat table then it is not good.
A good battery has flat surface snd therefore u cannot spin it for more than half a round.But a swell battery in your case will spin for a few rounds.
Change a new battery to resolve your problem.
Best Regards

Hi, thanks for replying. I have tried to change my battery with an identical (but flat and brand new) one but as I mentioned in the original post the grey battery icon appears on my screen with the circle inside, and it will periodically flicker to a full green one but it won't turn on.

Do not use any battery that doesn't look normal or is damaged. Old or damaged battery's can even explode/burn sometimes. I have also been having this same issue but, I know my battery is fine because without a micro SD card the phone stays cool and the battery lasts forever but with a micro SD card the battery drops rapidly in charge just like you get from 100% to 5% in a short time period and also gets very hot around the camera area. So if you have a micro SD card in it take it out, at least it works for me:victory:. I've read that this is because the phone is constantly scanning the card (some glitch or bad connection) but i'm not sure. Tell me if this works and give me a "Thanks" if it does!
Can you try with a different kernel and see what happens?

Install Better Battery Stats and look at the process(es) that are not working properly and are overheating the phone, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the app if it's not a system app, or just flash your rom again to overwrite possibly corrupted system files.

no need of returning phone...i guess its one of many issues discussed over this forum..
1. It can happen because of a Kernel that u have installed that is not going with ur ROM.
2. It could be due to some app that is sucking up your battery and intun causing heating in ur processor..i mean some game..weather widget..Etc..
I would suggest that u can browse thru this forum for the solutions that fit u best..
i think its a kernel or App problem 4 sure..:fingers-crossed:
I am having S2 with ASNET MIUI V5 now and b4 tried several ROMS..When ever this heating stuff happened it was temporary only..
Hope it helps u in some way.
Cheers mate

The first part of this really comforted me - returning my phone would have been a nightmare! It actually wasn't down to a specific app or kernel I think, in the end I just replaced the battery and it's working fine again
Big thanks to anyone who has helped and if anyone is experiencing the same issues as I am, read through the thread and try the solutions given
Hi guys, I have a very big problem regarding to the battery. Sometimes it doesn't charge or maybe it's full charged but It drops from 100%, 50%, 20%, 5% and then die (in a few minutes). Somedays it works well but the average is not good. I tried several roms , full wipes and I changed the battery. I don't know what to do. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
what firmware? that did before the problems started?
I believe your battery is damaged. Possibly from high temperatures. I recommend getting a replacement phone if you still qualify for the manufacturer's one year warranty.
thanks

Flying Jelly 3.01. But the issue is general. Sometimes I plug it in chager mode and shows 100% but when it boots drop to 50% (20, 5, so on) in a matter of seconds.

I already changed it so I think is not a battery issue. I'm trying to avoid send it back because I'm from Argentina and I bought it in China.
Another issue is when you connect it all the night but it doesnt charge. At the first I thought it was a software issue but right now I don't know what to test. I think the most weird is when sometimes works just fine. It's making me crazy...I dont know if send it back or set it on fire lol.
Thanks guys.

Hmm maybe there is something wrong with your actual charging port. Have you tried resetting your phone's software?
I think you should flash the stock. before flashing do wipe. in order to avoid the problem of software.
thanks

I did it several times. I don't know what is happening but since two days is working "fine". The last thing I tried It was die-hard battery script. A guy in another forum recommended me to use compressed air to clean out the ports because it may have a piece of debris that is causing a direct short therefore killing your battery.
Thanks guys.
