For anyone who is facing an issue that his device is showing charging animation while he is not connected to the USB charger , or having over-voltage in the battery or even having his device turned on the time he plug the battery into the device
now you can find the answer below simple steps to try before you approach hardware dismantle as i faced the issue before and it was sorted out
If you are facing an issue with Samsung galaxy SII with fake charging and you think that it’s a port issue and you are willing to change the USB port for your device please stop and action the below steps 1st to make sure that its not a software issue
• Take a backup from all your data in the internal memory
• Wipe your device by dialing the code *2767*3855# in your phone app
• Open the device in the download mood and flash on it a stock 2.3.5 OS
• After that you’ll find your device working like charm
• Don’t root your device in this phase, just flash it with a stock 4.0.3 and then flash it with the root from CF-root
• After that you can flash a custom ROM and I recommend Resurrection Remix
• The idea that you change from ICS to ginger bread that you will completely wipe everything in your device so it will be as if you are buying it new.
Appreciate that the above is helping people having this issue as I had it and now its solved.
i don't know what to say...i had this problem too, and it kind of self-resolved. It was in the winter, so i guess it has to be the humidity together with the dirt because i tried several ROMs that time and all had the same result. The fake charging was still there, randomly. The warm weather appeared, the port was cleaned, the problem is gone for the moment

i guess you are getting it right also noting that i had the same problem and i tried many ROMs but we can assume that maybe the steps i followed ended the problem or the time i took to get it done was having effect on losing water from the device but believe me it disappeared automatically after 2.3.5 .. and i tried it with my friend who had the same issue and it was sorted out so i thought that sharing this would be helpful for people experiencing the same issue.
Usually it's only the USB-connector which is broken/faulty/making contact. Had it replaced yesterday under guarantee and now all is well again. Tried 'all' other tips of course prior to sending it in.

i had the same problem, did that..less than one week later, i had the same problem again...took my phone to a samsung service center...the gave me a new phone because it was a hardware problem..
Hello everyone and thanks for the great site/forum!
So I finally rooted my good old Samsung Galaxy S2 and also flashed CM 11 Nightly (Kit Kat) on it. And I did the battery calibration as well.
The problem is that after I did this the phone was ok for about a week but then started to shut down without a reason all by itself. If it's connected to a charger it's fine but without it the problem occurs.
I've tried factory reset and clearing both caches. Didn't help.
I've read about the issue and it seems that this is nothing new with Android phones. But I haven't had this problem at all before I flashed a new ROM to my phone. Is there anything you think I should try? Are there any ROM's that are more stable than CM 11?

Try using a new battery. They are cheap online. Sounds like the phone isn't getting enough power without the charger

You think that might be the solution? Well, I might as well give it a try because I've never changed the battery on my phone. It's gotten pretty bad in the two years I've had the phone but I just haven't gotten around changing because I'm not sure which places sell authentic Samsung batteries. I guess Google knows, I'll ask them.
Thanks a lot for the reply!

To add on to this, a genuine battery is the one you want There are many on ebay (In my country) and online too. Just make sure to research whether they are the real deal or not.

What did you do that caused this issue to start? You flashed something or modified something, what was it?

You rooted it or something, stock devices don't just start heating up like that unless you're using it heavily while it is on charger.
Or the battery you got isn't right, is the replacement battery rated higher than the one that was in it?
The problem is something you changed or did somewhere.
Regardless, try booting to download mode and flash the stock firmware, if its a software problem that might help, if its hardware you'll have to have hardware repaired or replaced.

Hi,
I have a lot of trouble with my wife's Galaxy Alpha phone.
Sometimes, it switch off alone.
Last time it was when charging, it starts to charge for 5 min, then switch off showing the logo during switch off, as if it was requested by software (not a battery problem).
Sometimes it restarts normaly as soon as I press the power button (boot normaly), but sometimes, it bootloops.
I found a workaround for it, having to press the power button until complete boot (asking pincode), then releasing the power button and entering the pincode, and it works normaly, for some days.
Seems pehaps an hardware issue ?
This starts a month ago, without any related causes.

First try to flash stock firmware with odin.
If this didn't help it's very possible to be a hardware problem.

You flashed after the "power issues" appear or before?

In fact both.
It appears first time when I was using the original rom.
Then I flashed a new rom using odin.
It worked without any problems for a week, and reapered.

Yeah sorry, but I think it's a hardware problem... Try at a service, maybe it's something simple and costs less.

The shutdown seems to be related to Google Play. The phone shutdown when updating some applications through Google Play !
Is there a revert to stock google play application and force it to never update again ?
Seems that the latest version of google play have some troubles.

I didn't encountered this issue on my alpha, try a factory reset.
Battery issue, maybe....?
I have an old battery and the symptoms are similar. The efficiency is no longer the same and sometimes it turns itself off suddenly.
My other battery is newer and it doesn't happens.
These batteries are fragile and lose reliability quickly (most noticeable after a year, depending on usage).
Seems that I have fixed the problem. A hardware one.
After opening the phone... completely so that able to manipulate the motherboard I found that the small connector to the power button was not correctly fixed.
After a deep cleaning of all the contacts on the motherboard and fixing the connector I reassembled everything.
It is now working well for more than 3 days without any issues.

Glad to know that you fixed the phone.
Finally, after one week, dead again...
I think that the only solution for me is to replace the motherboard.
Changed the motherboard with a new one bought on AliExpress. Everything fine now.

I bought a new mobo, now it works perfectly fine, I actually bought two just in case I broke something while installing it, but first one is good to go, experiencing some drain issues tho with my old battery tho, so i have to recycle that. Any way, it all ended well and now I got another mobo incase this one breaks ^^

Greetings. My Samsung Galaxy Alpha is dead since 2016. Not charging, not turning on. If possible send me the exact AliExpress seller link. One more thing, is it possible to find the front facing camera of this device? When i give my device to a technician he lost the camera. The camera was 2.1 megapixel.

Hi Kunal, i use to have this issue. I think this is because of the EARTH passing through your phone. It makes the touch act weird. Try using another charging port/cable/plug. And, let me know.
