Hi, I am facing a strange problem.
If I select the green arrow button restart, the phone used to restart obviously itself, but now it switch off and I have to switch it back on manually by pressing the power button.
At the same time the gauge of the battery has gone crazy, it always come back to 100% at every reboot.
Already tried to factory reset without success.
Has someone already encountered this issue?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Also when switched off and plugged in I only have a grey circle with the bolt inside but without any number or charging meter update.

Apologies if this has been asked already but I've searched for a good while.
Have a Samsung Galaxy S II for the past week. Once or twice while I was watching videos it would start to vibrate (while in silent mode) and I could only stop the vibrating by pressing the Home key. There were no incoming calls or messages that I could see.
The battery died 2 days ago after running down to 0% and since then the phone has been beeping more or less constantly when not on the charger. If it's on silent it will vibrate, if not on silent it will just beep away. Pressing the home key stops it but it starts up again a few minutes later. The battery indicator in the top right appears to be flashing with the little power icon as though it's a battery notification but there is no actual notification and there's nothing to say - battery level is about 95% or so when this starts I'd guess.
I've done 2 factory resets which haven't solved the problem and I installed a couple of custom battery apps to see if they'd take over the battery notification (assuming that's the problem) but that hasn't done anything. I also noticed that I can't seem to power the phone off anymore. If I turn it off, it just turns back on and waits at the phone unlock screen for me to enter my PIN.
Anyone experienced this before or know what might be causing it?

Hi,
I hope all of you are in Stock Kernel now.
Is it rooted?
If yes then please Go to CWM Recovery Mode and Go to Advanced and WIPR Dalvik Cache as well as Battery Stats...
Once this is done .. Reboot and check whether the problem is solved if not Try and use Stock ROM Battery Mod ..
I'm puzzled by this as I unplugged it in the morning, drove to work, and sat down in my office to discover the phone is unresponsive to everything when it was working just fine 15 minutes before that. I don't want to do a battery pull just yet. All the buttons are unresponsive and when I plug it into a computer the screen usually goes to the lockscreen but it did not and it wasn't recognized by computer. It did not have a security screen lock active and I have not updated p-rom or any firmwares in the past few weeks. OTA updates were deactivated prior to my last p-rom update. Does anybody have any insight to this? Rooted 1.8.3 gladiatrix 3 b0.2.
Battery pull, and hope that fixes it. Usually the red blinky light means something made the e-fuse mad, and so now it's trying to revert your phone back to factory settings (at least that's what I've seen in the past)
If a battery pull doesn't fix it, reboot while holding the volume down button. When it shows fast boot, press down until you get to android recovery. Press the volume up key, and when you see the android with in the triangle, tap above the search button (sometimes I have to tap it like 20 times before the menu appears), then select wipe data. That will wipe your phone, but should get it back working.
May be soft conflict, i got 02 times. It happens when i ran many apps.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
In my experiencemit was just 2.2. Flashing 2.3.4 fixed it for me
Last night I pulled my phone out of my pocket to answer a text, as soon as I unlocked it, the volume bar popped up, went from full volume to silent/vibrate and continued vibrating. I tried to do anything but volume down kept interrupting everything. Even opening random programs and what not. I pulled the batt and restarted, it sat at the droid screen with the white "rsd service loading" or whatever it is, and sat there for the rest of the night until the battery died.
I got it to start up and boot all the way into the OS. It acts normally until i press the back button or the volume buttons. It then goes into the haywire crazy vibrating mode. I can get it to stop sometimes by pressing the Home button. But as I type this its randomly vibrating on my desk.
You fellas think this is a hardware issue or software?
P.S. I tried getting into the boot menu and clearing the cache, but pressing the volume button just caused it to hang at the rsd load.
Ur not on cm7 huh? Our bootstrap is automatic on plug in while power off.
Cyanogenmod
No sir. All stock, no root. 2.3.4
I was rooted before, but had all sorts of lag problems. After going back to factory everything seemed to clear up. So thats where I've stayed.
I'm considering just using my insurance and getting a new one (hopefully an upgrade to a 3 or something) as my case is fairly worn.... But if I dont need to..........
I updated to Lollipop a several days ago through Kies. My battery life was not good so I did a factory reset. I reinstalled my apps and set up the phone the way I wanted it and it worked properly for a couple of days, still not happy with battery life. Yesterday I found that when I set the phone on the wireless charger the wireless charging notification came on lighting up the screen and the screen would not shut off. I googled it and all I find is to go to developer options and uncheck the stay awake which I have done, it was not checked so I checked and unchecked it same thing happens. I restarted the phone several times. I made sure Daydream is off. I uninstalled the last apps I installed. I tried to plug the wire into the phone to charge it same thing happens. I found that if I unlock the phone then set it on the charger it will time off ok, but if a notification comes in the screen lights up and does not shut down. I found that if I push the power button the screen goes off and stays off until a notification comes in and the screen lights up and stays on. My next step is to factory reset again but I wanted to see if anyone has another suggestion before I reset. Any help will be appreciated.
You may try wiping the cache. I'm assuming you didn't have this problem before the factory reset and not immediately after the factory reset. Now this is just a suggestion but I'd try this before I did a factory reset. I'm guessing you are not rooted and you are running stock so your recovery will be stock. To enter recovery power off your phone then while off hold the volume up, power, and home button at the same time. Hold and you'll see "Recovery Booting" in the upper left. You can let go of the buttons now. You should have stock recovery now booted up. Using the volume keys scroll down and pick "wipe cache partition" Use the power button to select. Once it's done and it won't take long. It will be on "Reboot" go ahead and select that. With any luck that may solve your problem.

You are correct that I did not have the problem before or after the factory reset and I am on stock and not rooted. I am trying your suggestions now and will report back thank you.
Thank you for the suggestions however it did not solve the problem, but after I wiped the cache I found that the T-Mobile My Account was staying in the notifications and showing that I was close to my 3GB high speed data. I turned off the notifications and now I have a normal working phone again that shuts off the screen when charging.

Glad to hear it. Yeah, I would have suggested shutting off those notifications just so they don't bother you. Anytime I want to know what T-Mobile has to say I just open up the app and look. I'm on wifi 90% of my time so I don't see using my quota anytime soon.
My sister updated her phone and somehow keep screen on while charging got enabled as well.
I had to enable developer settings (double tap build number 5 times) and uncheck keep screen on while charging.

Same thing happened to my wife's phone.
Little surprised to see this enabled on a pure stock device.
I have a rooted c8633 and factory reset it yesterday, then battery suddenly dropped from 30% to 0%.
1. After turning it on again, the power button wont work(cant screen on/ off) . But i can still use it to power on or force turn off the phone (power + volume up), so i assume its some software problems but i didnt install any apps i never use before.
2. The battery percentage seems not accurate, sometimes it drops fast but some times its very slow.
Could anyone please help with these problems? Thank you.
Sorry i cant capture any screen because my power button is not working.
