hello...i hope that someone can help me....when i try to turn off the device,it shut down and after few seconds reboot?why?
also simetime the phone don't turn on and on screen i see a green battery with a thermo....someon can help me?
Did you find the answer to this? i am sending my SGS2 back for replacement. i have the same errors plus the following.
Phone selects speaker rather than earpiece as default for incoming/outgoing calls
Phone on ocasions randomly starts Kies and Voice commands even if there is no physical contact with the phone
sometimes the phone defaults back to a launcher i have never seen before (it is not touchwiz) and i have no idea how to launch it without it doing it automatically.
The faults you mentioned can be bypassed with a battery pull but they are annoying, I didn't have these problems until i upgraded my firmware through Kies to KE7.
I have an O2 branded device.

same issues to me... I'm trying to fix it flashing a stock rom without good results yet In the meantime I'm waiting for a USB jig from ebay before to send it to technical service
I have a I9100M(BELL) flashed with cognition 1.32 with same problem.
Randomly my phone will:
-go into driving mode
-answer calls in speaker phone mode
-start alarm clock
-think its charging when the cable is not plugged in
-Reboot it self/turn it self on when its off
-wont connect to computer or charge even when cable is plugged in.
I need to send it in for repairs what should i flash? there is no bell branded firmwares or roms.

Exactly the same to me
How do you flash congnition? just over the stock rom with odin?
did you flash modem?
Absolutely same here, since coming from CM7 to VillainRom.
Never had that before.
I´m waiting and watching it and your results!
Thanks for this thread.
That's why I don't root the phone..it works fine.

This has nothing to do with root access.
I cannot believe that any problem related just because you have access to your system.
Back to topic, flashed back to cm but problem persists.
It's getting really bad near to flashing stock and bring it back to change device if someone knows what it is could be helpful.
I also have this problem. I think it has something to do with the usb port.
Because sometimes it just scans for media, or it thinks it is charging. Really weird! Then i just put in the charger and it stops for a while. Turning off will just reboot the device. And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
I hope it is not hardware related...
I was looking for help for a problem I have but this seems to cover most of the problems I'm having.
Mine has recently started going into a strange mode after shutting it down. I get the battery charging symbol alternating with the "battery overheating" symbol.
The only way to stop it is to remove the battery for at least a couple of hours (if you put it straight back in it automaticly starts up and goes back to flashing the battery warnings) or pressing Power, Vol+ and Home and choosing Reboot.
I have also noticed its very slow to respond to plugging the charger in or out. It doesn't always wake-up and bleep when the charger is put in and it stays showing its charging for some time after the charger has been removed.
I was told that the charger should be removed as soon as charging is compleated but surely overnight is the only time we have available to charge these phones!
Depending on the custom rom or kernel you are using, it might not support off mode charging.
To avoid having a "problem" with charging the phone in off mode, some developers decided to make the phone boot up when the phone is been charged when the phone is off.
Going back to an official stock ROM fixes this problem.

As for Cyanogen, since built 23, you can charge the phone when it is in the "off" state. Please wipe out your userdata partition before flashing. Do not restore from a previous backup.
I fixed my reboot problem (rebooting instead of turning off) by letting the battery drain all the way so it couldn't boot anymore. Tried turning it on to see if it really doesn't go on anymore. After that I plugged in the charger and I got the charging-symbol and it did not turn on so I kept it charging overnight while turned off and in the morning it was finished and turned it on.
I also cleaned the usb-port on the phone with a toothpick. It had alot of dust stuck in it which I couldn't see. After that no more problems...for now. They haven't returned for 2 days now.

What kernel and rom are you using? I have not seen the battery overheating symbol on the sgs2.
No, there is no need to remove the phone from charger, when the phone gets to what is considered full, the battery will stop charging by itself.
Are you using the original samsung charger that came with the phone, or are you using a after market charger? Most of these USB chargers do not send a signal on the data lines. When using these chargers, the phone becomes laggy and unresponsive, there is also a delay to register anything on the touch screen. Stay away from these chargers.
For lithium batteries just charge it whenever you feel like it. Lithium batteries have a few thousand deep charge cycles, meaning if you use up all the power, then charge it,you use 1 deep charge cycle. However, if you use the micro cycles for charging, you can charge the batteries a few million times. Leaving the battery on empty for too long will damage the lithium battery.
Can any one confirm if this is a hardware or software issue as i now have the problem when i try and switch the phone off it will just reboot?
The Same issue occurs in my sgs2
hi everybody,
i just got my sgs2 ten days ago
everything seems good at first
then i realized screen standby lock lag problem, there exist a lag between 1 second to 2.5 seconds.
i ignore that due to it cannot be named as a problem, it seems like a bad characteristic
then yesterday , i have faced with another problem
after i have docked the phone to the original vehicle dock kit,
phone cannot be closed via power button , i hold it 1.5 seconds then chose turn off among list, phone looks like to be turned off then after a little while it just vibrates and reboots. That is phone cannot be turned off, it s somehow turn itself on again.
Whats the reason of this problem ?
In another forum one faced with the same problem said that it turned out to be normal when the battery is erased but the problem is occured again after docking.
micro usb connector
I droped my phone in the water, got it alive again, but with all the error(overheat battery symbol, no stable usb connection, reboot when i power off, 100% charged not going away) replaced the micro usb connector with a new one.
Some problems are gone but i still can't connect to pc (kies, debug etc), poweroff problem still happen sometime.
Conclusion: It is not only the usb part of the phone that are causing this problem.
But I do belive its a hardware problem.
Have you phone maybe got to much to drink too..
usb port???
I've recently been experiencing the same problem
When I turned off my phone it switched on again!
And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
Sometimes the USB connector and charger are confused
Do solved the problem by changing the USB port?
plz help me
Thank you in advance for helping me
This is definately a hardware issue. Clean the usb connector, failing that it will need replacing

I kinda freaked out when my phone just turned off randomly an hour back, and showed battery low icon while trying to boot back. It wouldn't charge with the power adaptor nor the USB cable. However I tried a trick which people in this forum had suggested to unbrick the device and get into download mode, and it helped me to get phone back in charging again
Just sharing this in case anyone encounters similar problem, so they can solve it themselves instead of going to service center.
Steps:
1. Remove battery
2. Connect charger
3. Keep power button pressed and insert battery.
Battery will begin to charge again Hopefully.
So.. I have googled the crap out of this problem and seen loads of issues raised, but nothing solved.
I am coming from a Dell Streak and grabbed me a galaxy s 2 from craigslist a couple months back.
It has been running fine and I have tried a few roms/kernels and a few days ago I got the following error:
When charged to 100%, I get the notification to unplug, when I do, it sticks. No big deal but even when the phone battery has dropped to around 80% it stays.
It does not go into MTP mode or think it is plugged in via USB. Although, before this problem originated, the phone continuously vibrated between charging and not, when not plugged in.
I have calibrated the battery, tried a mixture of roms/kernels and I am now on unrooted stock. The problem still occurs and sometimes it does not recognise a USB connection, like today.
Probably worth mentioning that when turning on (and not plugged in) the phone does not turn right on, just boots into the battery screen and flashes between the battery charging and the overheating symbol.
Anyone got any ideas?

Turn off the phone and put it on charging. Once it beeps that its fully charged, quickly unplug the battery for 5-10 minutes. Should work and 'recalibrate' your battery

Thanks, giving a go now.
Do you need root to calibrate though? I am on stock firmware and not in front of a windows machine to use ODIN.

OK, charged to 100% and got the full notification.
Left battery out for 10 mins and whacked it back in.
Turned on and it went to the overheating sign again.
Booted into the samsung recovery and I can boot into android from there.
Battery says it is as 88, cannot calibrate as I do not have root atm.
Any ideas?

Get root and use the battery calibration tool from the market. The best idea so far. I suggest rooting with CF-Root, its fast and easy - its basically still your stock kernel but just with root.
If you really need the warranty or you'r scared of root you can install cf-root, calibrate the battery, then re-flash a stock kernel (unroot)

If i helped you, press thanks. Thanks.
Done and done.
Calibrated, even bought a new battery. Tried various other roms and appears to be an issue. Phone knows when USB is plugged in but does not seem to recognise the unplugging of the charger. And stays at 100% for a while before dropping down to like 80.
One thing to note is that this seemed to happen around the time of buying a dock for the samsung from Amazon, by Kidigi. I plugged the phone in to the dock without a USB cable connected to the dock and the dock LED lit up, making the phone think it was charging. Is this likely to have caused it/messed up the micro usb forever?
Thanks again guys!
well i think ive figured out what the problem was
Its due to overcharging or keeping the charger connected after battrey is full which has caused a hardware damage
im not sure if this is true but this is the closest explanation i can get the phone shows connected to charger even when diconnected only when i keep it connected for long time even after its battrey is full my usb connection has completely stopped working

well that the same problem with me when it shows connected to charger at 100% i restart it then the phone drops to ~80% battery although its 100% which makes the app battery monitor widget think i have a 1977mah battery while i have the standard 1650mah battery this must be the extra 20% which disappeared after the restart for me
I thought it may have been an overcharging problem, although no other phone I have owned has had this problem.
I let the battery charge all the way down (it stayed at 1% for about 3 hours) until it shut itself off. I left it on the side and it created a clicking noise, it was trying to turn the phone on as it knew the battery was in, even though it was depleted.
I plugged it in via USB to charge and it tried to turn on straight away. Shut it down and charged by plug until the 100% notification then turned on.
Still the same problem but one of my battery widgets warned that the battery was over voltage for a while before calming down.
If the phone cannot be off with the battery in, what could be causing that?

It has been known to be caused by a defective circuit board for the USB connector.
So, it needs a samsung return, I assume?
i have the same problem with overheating and usb plugged when there is nothing connected
i changed the usb port from the phone but it still having the problem!!!
i will try to put a new battery and see if it work and after post a reply
Hi all,
I have recently come across a problem which I cannot overcome by myself and I would really appreciate your help on this!
Phone:
Galaxy S2 (3 UK)
FW:
CM9.0.0
Description of problem:
My phone will not charge the battery. When connected to a charger, it turns itself on and immediately turns back off as there is not enough charge in the battery.
Events leading to problem:
My phone has been functioning perfectly for about 5 months (on CFW) before this happened. I had noticed that my phone ran out of charge abnormally quickly one day before this problem occurred. I did not suspect anything, and put it to charge overnight. The next morning when I woke up, the battery was out of charge (while plugged to the charger!) and the phone was abnormally hot at the area above the battery connectors. During this time, the phone would not turn on. I then unplugged the charger, and let the phone cool down. After cooling down, the phone was able to boot into the OS, but turns off immediately after that due to low charge in the battery.
What I have done so far:
Following suggestions on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/36648-galaxy-s2-empty-battery-boot-loop/
I suspected that my phone's firmware/kernel had somehow been corrupted. I then stripped a USB wire according to the thread, and attached it to the appropriate battery connectors allowing me to power my phone and flash the FW+Kernel via ODIN. I have since then flashed various firmwares in this order in attempt to recover my phone: Lite'ning v3.6 > Stock (3 UK Branded) > CF-Root Kernel > CM9.1.0.
Current state of phone:
I managed to charge my battery a little via my stripped USB cable, and started up my phone. After booting into OS on battery without charger connected, I have found that the phone will not charge the battery when connecting the charger while the phone is on.
However, if the OS boots automatically when connecting the charger while the phone is off, the battery status will be "Charging", but the charge goes up very slowly. (6% in 20 minutes?) What's even more weird is that if I take the charger off during this time, the phone immediately turns off. While the phone is sort of "functional" now, I'm really afraid that it will recur if my battery ever goes flat again.
I'm sorry this is such a wall of text, but I'd really like to hear your opinions on this. Thank you so much for reading
Did you solved the problem?
I'm with the same problem.

Whew that was long.. but anyway, i suggest you get the external battery charger, maybe it will do you good.
Have you tried going back to stock and doing a full reset?

Have you tried a different battery?
Hello,
Can somebody assist me with a problem I have with a friend's Sony Z2. I'm not very familiar with this phone and I have an issue with one.
It had the screen replaced because it was broken and before putting the last screw I turned it on to see if it works. I needed to put on charge because the battery was 1%. It worked perfectlyand then I disconnected it from charge, removed the battery flex cable to mount the phone back and when I finished it, I tried to turn on, but unsuccesfully.
All it does now is, every time I push the power button, the notification light is blinking red 3 times. Nothing more. If I keep Power and volume up is doing nothing, unless I put it on charge (on charge and power+volume up is vibrate 3 times too). I have nothing on screen. Reset button (the one inside SIM slot) makes the phone vibrate 3 times. The pc detects the phone 1-3 seconds and then nothing, I don't see it in my device management. I tried with another battery and same issues.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Thank you.
let it charge for 10 -20 mins
if not check battery flex
i feel its battery low or not connected proper

Thanks for the answer mate.
It was 2 nights on charge and still nothing. Also the notification light remains red while charging ? It shouldn't turn green when the charge is complete
Did you check flex?

The flex comes with the battery. Since I tried a new battery, I guess isn't the flex cable.
