Just rooted, overclocked, now when i power off it simply turns on 2 sec after.
How come? Anyone know?
Reflash your kernel, see if it continues.

Just did with odin and tried to power off again, it turns on.
Any other ideas?
Pulled my battery to shut it off.
Started the phone, shut it off, and it stayed off. Weird!
Thanks for your help.
its not off, it's underclocked so low it can't even wake up the screen, higher your min clock speed to 600 and see if it still happens, of try removing setcpu or that other one that starts with a T.. whichever you use

I have the same problem, instead of switching off it just reboots, even if I power off from recovery.
What kernel are you using. I'm using Ninphetamine 2.0.5, with VillainROM 2.4.2, with Black Android Theme.
I'd rather not pull the battery, after seeing how flimsy the battery cover when I put it on first, I decided I'd try to avoid fiddling with it if at all possible

I was a bit shocked by the battery cover when I first got it, but look how wrong we were...

Well let me tell you about a little secret: if you hold the power button for 10 seconds the phone will shutdown instantly no matter what.
I have the same problem too, it's very frustrating...

Doesn't work: it turns off, stays off for 2 seconds en boots up again.
I got same problem. Never flashed, never rooted. Got original 2.3.3.
I think I#ll try to flash it to fix it.
got a similar problem. probably not related. after unplugging it from a full charge, the phone kept making the "USB connected" sound. when turned off, it would do one of two things: display the big battery charging indicator while flashing the overheat indicator or turn itself back on.
while powered on, the battery icon will change from charging to not charging. I checked the USB socket and doesn't seem to be malfunctioning and there isn't anything shorting out the contacts. so far now, the battery level is at 87 percent after 48 minutes not in use. and now it's not making the sound anymore. I suppose the battery is malfunctioning.

I got a mixed-up thing of the issues on this topic..
When I take off the power socket, the symbol that shows "charging" remains there, and also, it is completely impossible to turn off the phone..
Whenever I turn it off, hard, or standard mode, it turns on again after 2 seconds..
And even if I remove the battery, I put it on again, and then it's back on in 3 sec....
Uh, and when I plug the charger in, when the battery is completely discharged, I have to take it out and back in , several times, before anything appears on screen, and even when it does, there is a temperature warning sign , and a yellow one which usually appear...
I'm getting very frustrated since I just paid 5000 nok (920 USD) for this phone..
And while I really begun to like Android, I guess I'll have to switch back to iPhone with a 4S, or to some better android device, since yes, the gs2 is cool , but I can't stand such issues, since I do run business things, and the phone is of vital importance for me, and not just a console/browsing crap.
Has anyone got any solution on this issue?
It would be crap if I had to send it to service, since it would take a lot of time, and I would have then to buy another temporary phone in the meanwhile...
PLEASE, HELP!
I had this problem, i cleaned the USB port out but that didn't stop it, but i think it helped. I then drained the battery to nothing and it has now stoppped. It's a battery problem, as it didn't switch off like it does when it hits low battery it just died. The battery readings were also inacurrate and every now and then it would do a weird thing like flashing it was charging, but it wasn't. I tried software etc.. and clean wipe before i tried the hardware, so it wasn't the rom i was running. I think the battery is on it's way out, so I've bought a new one.

Did this actually help? I had all the symptoms everyone has been describing and sent it to Samsung for repair. Their response was that the phone was stuck trying to download a PRL update, but as soon as I got the phone back from them and charged my battery to 100%, removing the phone from the charger caused everything to start again. I'm not entirely sure it is the battery, but have no other ideas.
USB charging port is dead.
Buy a new one on ebay and replace it.

Hi all.
Had similar problems about one month after getting my s2. I have unlocked sim card, rooted it and flashed some kernel, shyah i think. And left it with stock rom (Android 4.0). As it was under warranty i reverted completely to stock and took it to the carrier. After one day got it back but they said it had no problem. The fact is that i could in fact turn it off again. After a few days it was back so i flashed a custom rom (resurrection remix at that time) and never had it again.
Now I'm with alliancerom and apolo kernel for a few months and never had it again.
Hello everyone,
My sgh i777 (running one of the UCLE5 semi v# ROMS, can't remember which one xD, on siyah v3.4.3) is having a strange problem. What happened was, I put my phone on the charger on my desk, and my sister had a friend over and were messing around. Well I found my phone later in the day on the floor, and it seemed like it was more scratched then. It was still plugged into the charger at the time so I tried to turn it on. However, when I turn it on, the grey battery screen with the loading circle shows up for less than a second, and the screen turns off. Then it will do that again, flashing this screen until I unplug it from the charger. Not matter what I do, it will not get past this screen, and actually, after the screen flashes a bunch of times, you wil stop seeing the battery screen but merely a flash of light on the touchkeys and maybe the screen. I am pretty sure it is not a problem with the charger itself, and I think it may be a problem with the battery. However, my friend had an issue with his Droid (first one) where the charging port on the phone was broken and he had to use an external battery charger to charge the battery, and then it would work fine. To me, the port seems like it is not damaged, and since when I found my phone on the floor it was really hot, I really think the battery just died. I am also fairly certain that this problem is not a software issue, considering I have not tweaked anything on my phone for a few days now, and since it was working just fine before I found it on the floor. I would appreciate any feedback that you guys can give me because, like everyone else, this phone is my baby
Thanks!

Try pulling battery for a few. put it back in. try to get into CWM and wipe cache and dalvik.
Who knows how that happened. But if you have CWM or D/L mode, your fine.
I had this exact same problem on my phone (minus ending up on the floor part). I think it is from the battery overheating. Pull the battery and let it sit for a few. I had to let mine sit out for almost 4 hours before it turned back on. It may not take that long but i would leave it out for at least an hour or 2.
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah I left the battery out of the phone overnight and when I woke up I tried it again and it still did the same thing :/
I want to get an extended battery anyway (I think I'm going to order the qcell one) and if that fixes the problem that'd be great, but if it isn't a battery problem and it could be fixed now I would love to hear how so I am not out a phone until the new battery arrives ;D
Will your phone turn on when not plugged in?

No it won't even show the battery screen when it isn't plugged in. It only does that with the charger. Also it won't even have the flicker of the touchkeys, just nothing haha.
Try to get another fully charged battery from a friend and see if phone will turn on, or if you have an external charger, charge up a battery and see if it turns on

Ok I will try that as soon as possible
I tried a different battery from a different phone (although it was still a samsung phone and the battery fit right and everything) and the same thing happened >,< nothing would happen unplugged, but as soon as I put it on the charger, the touchkeys would flash, and the screen would flicker at certain intervals. Unfortunately I think this is a more serious problem :/

Same happen with my friend I9100. Power Controller gone. Only service center will help.
Seems like your USB ports are bridged. I had this exact problem. If you're under Samsung's warranty, send it to them and they'll replace it. If not, MobileTechVideos could fix it for you.... Though if you're on a custom ROM then I assume you must put it to stock before sending it out to Samsung...
I got it to work haha. Go figure the one thing I did not try fixed it. -___- I was reading through some other threads and found a guy with a similar problem and he said that he left the battery IN the phone but left it UNPLUGGED. Well I did this overnight and sure enough this morning it worked xD
Reading is wonderful!
Glad you got the problem resolved.

mine was unused for a few weeks too. I thinking its just the battery might actually go to a battery store in my city to get a new one.
My S2 recently started acting up, charging super fast and dying quickly as well. It's like the overvolt regulation doesnt work properly, it gets very very hot and then it just says fully charged, remove cord (even when it's unplugged), or it just hangs and suddenly I'm at 0% battery again.
I've tried several different batteries and chargers, I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with them. Anyone experienced something similar?

I have not but i can tell you that your phone is staying awake while on charge which will explain why its getting hot... have you tried installing Better Battery Stats to see whats staying awake all the time... Also what rom/kernel are you using all this information will go long way to helpping explain whats going on?? good luck

I'm just using normal 4.1.2 ICS. The warmth is not part of the problem, it's just a strange symptom, like for example if I turn it completely off, sometimes it gets very hot while off and the battery dies completely, even if it was full when I turned it off.

normal 4.1.2 ics trust me the warmth is being caused by the problem... either your usb charger board has gone/all the batteries you've tried are beyond wonky or you have WAKELOCKS giving your phone a proper beating. tap that graph shown in your screen shot see whats running. have you tried taking battery out of phone for few minutes (5) popping back in charging to full (while off) and then turning on? good luck

I think it must be a problem with the internal USB port or the board. I've tried cleaning it out a little, but it doesn't seem to help.
Should I order that part? USB Flex cable+circuit board? Are they easy to replace or do i need to solder?
Easy to replace, lots of threads on here about it recently (This seems to be happening to a lot of people). You just need to make sure you order the right part (It's cheap & easy to find; search for those recent threads).

They all do that. I forget the name if the wakelock now, but that is the reason certain 3rd party mains or car chargers don't work properly. Anyway, just the fact the phone is awake whilst charging is nothing to worry about, until you get a BBS log and see if anything other than charging is keeping it awake.

So I replaced the board, and it was like you guys said pretty easy. It works just like normal now. However my speaker stopped working after replacing it, no idea why though as it's in the top of the mobile (?).

Too bad. What was the last thing you did with the phone when it was working?
Were you already running a custom ROM, s-off, unlocked? Any details, for example, did it die right in the middle of updating it perhaps?
First, see if anything happens with a different battery and charger--try to borrow, rather than spend the money, because it might have nothing to do with them. Make sure the charger is plugged in the right way.
Then report back here.

it was running on stock rom and was just rooted and nothing done to it. I was just using it normally.. first it was not charging and then I tried a different battery and it was not at all opening later. it opened once and the showed low battery and then never opened again...I replaced the battery thinking it was battery problem but it went waste...the charger is also fine and other phones are working with it.. and also I have tried other chargers, but it is still not charging..and not even showing the orange charging LED
ok ive been dealing with this problem for awhile.
Whenever im plugged in and charging(possibly when im at full battery) either the screen stays on or randomly pulses back on. Tends to be the first which is a big problem
because either with the screen on high it drains the battery to dead slowly or overheats crashes the phone but still continues to drain the battery. Which is a big pain in the ass with
the recharge time when you drain the battery to dead(wall charger)
Its lasted through several different roms and reset tp original rom.
Yes ive turned off the dev setting
thanks.

I'm just guessing but it can be cable fault. Try it with another cable or even different charger to see if the problem is still present. If yes and you are still under warranty i would recommend to take it to the service center.
There is a "developer" option about this on the settings, so you can toggle it on or off while you're charging. Please verify! : )

Well the problem has morphed even worse, if i shutdown the phone and leave it plugged in it wont charge but the battery charging screen will drain the battery.

Check dev settings or DL factory reset
sorry guys but i really have to say holy **** twice ive said i've checked the DEV SETTINGS.
but i realize im not going to get any actual help with this odd problem here.
As @Jecmenn said earlier, it seems like a broken cable or the connection between the micro USB cable and the phone isn't perfect, like it is connecting and disconnecting over and over. Try another cable, if it doesn't help, the phone's USB is damaged. And easy pal, being rude won't help you.
