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

After the Amber update both my phone and my wife's phone randomly will play the "charging" notification sound when sitting on the wireless charging pad. The screen also lights up. This is annoying in the middle of the night. Is anyone else seeing this?

The new update changed the sensitivity to the position that the phone is on the charger. It has to be dead center now or it will not link right.By dead center I mean equal amounts of the phone overhang front and back.

I was very careful to place the phone centered on the pad and it still does it. Do you have a link to an article about this change?

No just from my own experience. Mine did it at first but I noticed I had not centered it. After centering it, it quit. I also noticed it now chimes or makes a notice when it reached full charge. No way to disable from what I see.
I've noticed that the wireless charging will eventually stop (seemingly after the phone is fully charged and has been sitting on the charger for a while) and the phone will power itself from the battery. So, for example, if it were to reach full charge during the night, in the morning it may be at 90% even though it's still sitting on the charger. Has anyone else noticed this?

I only had this issue with a third party charger. When using the nokia charging plate, this issue does not arise. I can see no battery drain in the battery app for the time periods in which the phone was on the nokia charging plate.

My phone continues to play the notification sound and turn on the screen several times during the night. I am wondering if it is chiming when it reaches 100% and then it stops charging, looses some charge, turns back on and then chimes at 100% again. I checked the phone and it was quite hot. This is annoying and I now have set it to vibrate so it doesn't wake me up. Nokia/Microsoft needs to fix this.

Mine was doing that but if I place it on the charger so that the bottom edge with the speakers line up with the same edge of the charger end with the LED then the phone will stay quite all night. I really think the new update raised/lowered the sensitivity of the proximity/nfc sensor in the phone.
I started seeing a "Slow Charge" notification yesterday saying that I should plug in a genuine HTC charger to optimize the charging time. I normally charge the phone at my PC using a USB docking station and have done this since the phone was new in April without ever getting this notification. Despite the notification, it still seems to charge fine though, although it might be imperceptibly slower, I didn't really test it. I did test with a wall charger and the notification went away (it wasn't the HTC charger), so at least it is checking for something.
I am charging the phone at work today (also through USB/computer) and get the same message, so it isn't just the home setup.
A couple theories that someone might be able to shoot down for me:
I accidentally ran my phone completely out on Saturday, would that have triggered anything? Maybe the battery needs a few cycles now that it has been fully* discharged?
The phone has been fairly warm when plugging in the last couple days (new game ), would that trigger this? It wasn't warm every time though and the notification is still there.
Unlikely, but was there a change with the 4.3 update that might effect this?
*The phone shut off, but I assume that didn't damage the battery since the phone did an automatic/controlled shutdown at 1% or so to go.
USB charges at 100mA and can ramp up to 500mA. The wall charger is 1A and will therefore charge significantly faster. Neither is an issue, but my HTC One has a tendency to see any non-charger as a USB port and therefore slow the charging. Only real problem is driving with GPS running.

Thanks.
Like I said, it hasn't been a problem, I don't even notice the difference in time to charge, it is just that it is new. And after 6+ months of ownership, something new randomly appearing is weird.
It is currently charging in the same port and doesn't have the notification by the way, so it appears random. Go figure.
I agree that it appears randomly. I'm not a fan of this 'feature' that HTC built in. I'm still looking to find out what HTC's threshold is the activates the notification and the slow charge mode. The only charger that this concerns me on is my car charger, but I haven't received the message lately. I also have not used my GPS on a long trip in a while.
Same issue "Slow Charge" notification + No PC connection
I also purchased my phone in April. Just recently (month or so) my phone is now giving me the "slow charge" notification. Also, I can no longer connect to ANY computer. I have tried 6+ computers and none of them recognize the phone. The phone doesn't seem to notice it is plugged in to a USB port either. I have tried toggling the Developer Options and USB debugging without any change. There doesn't seem to be much info on the internet regarding this issue, but the ones that I do find seem to be similar to my issue. This seemed to happen after the 4.3 update.
Are you also having problems with accessing your phone storage when connected to a computer? Thanks.

Hi bigpile,
Did you find a solution for this? It now happens to me too (slow charger notification and no usb debugging).
Same issue..
My HTC just started doing that. Tried all the usb ports on my pc it comes up with a "slow charge" message but if I plug it into a wall charger (a Nokia micro usb on in fact) it works fine.
Main concern is that the phone will no longer come up under "My Computer"
I can charge it fine using the wall charger but it just doesn't want to work through my usb port on the pc (I have tried changing the cable same issue)
I plug my phone in before going to sleep and when the battery is fully charged the "Battery Full" Notification sounds. The problem is it repeats every 1 - 2 minutes. I have tried everything I can think of to stop it. I need to leave my phone on at night for work purposes so shutting it off or putting it in silent mode is not an option.
My wife has the same phone and hers doesn't repeat the notification.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried to see if its because your cable might be faulty? Faulty as in it gives charge on and off so the notification shows up every minute or so because it thinks you just plugged it in again.

No but I am using a longer after market cable. I will swap tonight and see what happens. Thanks!
I've had my G3 since the 11th release date and had same issue that day, next day and not again till yesterday. No idea what I did different to have it happen again. I'm using stock charger and cable it came with. It's on charge every night. The message and notification seem to me to be intermittent as I havent identified anything that would explain the gap in that issue from day two to just yesterday...
I also noticed certain notifications play both through headphones AND the phone speaker even when phones are connected but apparently that's an android known bug.
It maybe a faulty safety feature that's supposed to prolong the life of your battery. It's not good for your battery to set at 100% for long periods of time so some roms stop charging for a short period of time so battery can drain slightly to prevent damage. You may also have a faulty charging block, switch it out and see what happens. Also really long USB cables are a no-no because it can deteriorate the signal and cause voltage to drop.

Thanks everyone - I switched to the OEM charger / cable and the issue is resolved.
I've had it happen when using a particular HTC charger. I have 2 of those chargers and only one of them does it.

It was in fact the charger from my HTC One that I was using. I guess that plus the extra long aftermarket cable caused the issue...

I have the same annoying issue. I just unplug it.
Hi
I'll put my G5 on charge and it will start to fast charge like normal then after a few minutes stop and go to just charging, if I pull the cable out the phone and plug it back in, it will usually still not fast charge sometimes it does first time tho but normally I'll have to do that 3 or 4 times to get it to fast charge again and usually it then fast charges normally till the battery if fully charged.
I thought it was the cable as it was on it way out it had a internal break where it would stop charging or go to normal charging at times so ordered a replacement cable same make (choetech 6ft) I've been using for over a year now and a juicebitz 9ft one and there both doing the same and I even tried the original cable and that's doing it too so it's not the cable.
I've cleaned the usb port no change, I've factory reset no change, can't remember when this first started as I thought it was the cable but I think it could of been around the time of the last update but can't be sure on that could of easily been just before.
What to try next could it be a charger fault, a faulty bottom module/ usb port, battery fault or a fault with the phone itself?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have same issue with my phone after last update.
That's good know not good that your having the same issue I mean good to know it's not a hardware problem.
I've seen a couple of posts after I starting this thread in the v20i update thread from users with the same problem so it looks like it's a software issue I can stop stressing about it as there's nothing I can do about it.
I did a search before posting and must of missed it or used the wrong terms in my search.
I just hope they will fix that in next update (oreo)

So do I it's part of what I hate about updates they fix things but just as often break something else.
same here. its turning to normal after minutes and when you plug it again its fast charging for a short time. LG g5 is a headace. My disappointment.
I have the exact same issue with my H-850 I even went to the extent of sending the phone in for repairs under the warranty. They replaced the mainboard and the bottom module but the problem still persists, its either the battery or software, my money is on the software
