[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
Hello all,

I left my phone charging over night as usual. When i woke up i was surprised it had only 32%. I plugged the charger back in, but the phone wouldn't charge. I restarted the phone and when it booted up it had 60% :confused:

After some standby time it showed 50% .. really confusing. I pulled the battery out and when i plugged it back in and "before" turning it on. The green battery icon came on flashing with yellow triangle and red thermostat (see pic).

It won't boot up until i plugged in the charger. I left charge until 100% and tried to restart. I got the same icon again and had to plug the charger in.

Anyone know the meaning of this? Battery app showing temp as 36C after boot up. Now it shows 34C. I did attempt battery stat wipe too.

Please share with me your thoughts.

EDIT: I returned mine for a replacement. After that, my nephew admitted that he spilled something right over the usb.
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
I had a similar problem. When the icon comes up plugged in, yank the battery out and shove it back in.

If that doesn't work, when plugged in take the battery out, unplug the phone, put the battery back in, and then plug it in.

It worked for me!
[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
HEY!! that worked for me. Thank you sooooo much :)
[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
OK guys, it came back again. The issue is not resolved. Perhaps a battery failure?

I waited for my battery to completely run out. Then charged it all the way up. Then a simple battery pull out and in takes it down to around 80% ?!

Strange stuff here.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Sounds like a very delicate procedure xD
[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
it seems i am the only one with this issue :/
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
Sounds like the battery just isn't being calibrated correctly.

Let it drain fully and then take it out and put it back in. Chances are it'll turn back on. Let it drain again until it shuts off and then charge fully while the phone is off.
[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
late update ... got a replacement .. i tried everything ..

i've this problem..

does anyone resolved it?

i don't want return it to samsung...
[Galaxy S II General] Babylonian:
Same problem here. The phone is "charging" even without the charger plugged in (!) When I turn off the phone a green battery icon with a yellow triangle and a red thermostat is flashing. Can't turn it on without a charger plugged in :confused: Tried everything. Anyone else suffering from this? :(

Probably your USB got polluted or bended.
[Galaxy S II General] bu2askoor:
i also think it is a usb issue. i updated the original post. By the way before i returned it for a replacement i tried using a qtip and "contact cleaner" and sprayed some on the usb. After 30 mins i was able to charge normally before it was acting up again.

Bottom line: clean your usb.
[Galaxy S II General] Babylonian:
Cheers a bunch for your replies! Gonna clean my usb again & carefully "bend" it down a bit. I'll post the results later :)

For me the main idea from using SGS2 for cpl of weeks before selling this crap:

'Do NOT buy korean smartphones !!!'
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
I cannot disagree more. This is the most fantastic phone I've ever had. Feel free to check my signature. I've had worse. Haha. Much worse. This phone has only lagged twice in the months I've had it and I had to do a battery pull once. I've had my iPhone 4 crash more times than this phone. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] amunarjoh:
I've had charging problems with my SGS2 as well. All of a sudden it started switching tap&talk on and off. Turned very warm and drained the battery juice.

When I attached the charger, it didn't show signs of recognizing that it was attached. I tried to switch it off, and on again with cable connected. Then it started charging, but if I unplugged and tried again it failed again.

So I had to send my beloved SGS2 for service. Now heading on to two weeks without it, i'm growing desperate from having to spend the time with my old Samsung Spica.
[Galaxy S II General] alias_neo:
Have a look at the charge port problem thread in general. Few of us have had this problem for various reasons.
[Galaxy S II General] jak3072:
i also have a kind of similar problem on my S2, suddenly it stopped charging, when i plug it in i tries to start up but isn't able to & then restarts.

i get the normal battery sign when you plug it in after the battery completely dies (no thermometer), nor does the phone or battery gets hot. is there any solution or should i just take it to a service centre? BTW my phone is rooted & loaded with a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] ghassir:
Any one with this problem; try to flash it to another firmaware like CM7, CM9, MIUI?
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
Happened to me. Mostly i guess is due to moist or dirts at the usb port. Ive re-bend it and clean it and instantly it dissapeared
[Galaxy S II General] cincy1020:
battery or usb problem?

Hi:

My problem is slightly different. Phone will not charge when plugged in. It does not even make the beep to indicate that it was plugged in, no battery image either. If left plugged in, phone gets warm, but does not charge. I have tried all the suggestions i found online (removing battery, power/volume up down etc), but nothing works.

Phone is not rooted or flashed.

Does this should like a battery issue, or a usb port issue?

Thanks!

Ps: the phone is almost new. I've only had it a month.
[Galaxy S II General] davidsaspey:
Get the phone replaced looks like faulty connection
[Galaxy S II General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately i bought the phone from someone on craigslist.

When you say a faulty connection, do you mean in the usb port?

I am trying to troubleshoot, since i can't find someone local to repair it, and would like to have some idea of what it might be, before shipping it to someone.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II General] nevelast:
had similar problem...

I've user contact spray and pin to clear and rebend usb contacts, problem solved and never (re)appeared

btw use a cover that covers the usb jack
[Galaxy S II General] cincy1020:
Thanks for the reply, and for confirming that it is probably the usb port.

samsung : we know we mess up the softwares, and we are out of budget to fix it. here cyanogenmod, u deal with it

moto: we want to lock it up so people buy our newest handset and abandon the older ones
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
What a whiny little *****. Wah, wah, wah!!! Go cry somewhere else. I won't even address that with a legitimate response, I'll just mock you instead.

I think it's awesome that Samsung is trying to engage with the community. I heard that they might have actually given away more devices than just the one. That's amazing. Motorola side skirts the issue and lays blame elsewhere, Samsung steps up to the plate and mails out free hardware.

Sounds like it's some to seriously consider an SGII. Can't wait forever on Motorola anymore... did this with the X10 and not going to do it again with another device.

[Atrix 4G General] plemen:
Great move by Samsung! I miss all of the Dev on the SGS and love that Samsung not only allows it, but actually encourages it. I really like my Atrix but it will be my last Motorola phone unless Moto opens things up like Samsung, HTC, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
Add me to that list. I was very hesitant to buy a Moto, and if it were not the best ATT has to offer I would return it.
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
I agree...my Atrix will be my last Moto phone. Next will be along the lines of the Nexus 3 or Samsung
[Atrix 4G General] naplesbill:
While I do think it's good to see Samsung doing this, it doesn't mean they will do anything else with it. Remember, this is the same company that left millions of customers with a malfunctioning GPS for more than a year.

I dare say, this may be a publicity stunt of some kind.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Thankfully I missed the SGS GPS fiasco... but if a company wants to give free phones to the sickest developers, I can't see how anyone is able to come here and lament over the past.

Would you guys rather see the same mistakes over and over? No one's asking for forgiveness. This is a win-win situation. No one loses. How can ANYONE seriously *****? Maybe there's something I'm missing...
[Atrix 4G General] naplesbill:
Nobody is complaining as you say. I am just saying, it will take more than this gesture to restore my confidence in Samsung Mobile. I am not saying it won't happen, just not over this single gesture.

I honestly am amazed they have done this. The motivation behind it, remains to be seen. I hope they have realized the error of their ways.

I also agree with the sentiment that Motorola should be learning from this.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I'm not saying anyone has to forgive Samsung for their huge flops in the past. But no one has the right to complain or make cynical comments either. Not all that I said was particularly directed at you.

Samsung could have thrown kittens off a building and then donated billions of dollars in relief aid to third world countries - this won't right their wrongs but at least it's something. Never mentioned anything about the past or forgiveness either, and I don't see why everyone's so hung up on it.

I'm not living in the past. I want new phones, new software, new everything. I'm concerned about the present and the future, not the past.
[Atrix 4G General] naplesbill:
You make good points. However, let me just add this one little phrase and it should help you understand how some people might feel.

Burn me once, shame on you! Burn me twice, shame on me!

This is the heart of why people become biased against a manufacturer. There are many people who feel the same about Motorola at this point.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Yep, definitely a valid point. But all things considered, Sammy just gave a bunch of kickass devs free phones and now they're all jacked up to start working on Cyanogen mod. How cool is that? I honestly can't get past the coolness factor. :cool:

I have read the awaited 2.3.4 update will solve the problem or KE7 via Odin, although some say KE7 doesn't work.......so what to do if number 3's the same as I would really like to keep the phone ?

Anyone who has managed to get rid of this problem and can give some advise I would be most grateful.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noboo:
Hi guys,

After spending a couple of days on reading up, I just rooted my Desire Z. The problem is that I can't make backups using Rom Manager because Recovery from the Hboot screen won't even load, it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. Although I can open the fastboot/Hboot menu's.

So now the problem is that I'm too scared (too cautious?) to load a different ROM onto my device which was the whole point of rooting it.

The device is rooted, S-off.

Hboot 0.85.0005

Microp-0425

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-boot

Oct 11 2010

I used the wiki method for rooting (goldcard (HTC_11), downgrade from 1.82 to 1,34, adb, gfree, Rom manager.

But before I did the above, I tried visionary to no avail (which could have caused the problem).

Should I try to up or downgrade a stock Hboot? Or is there any other way to fix a similiar issue? Might it be a better option to try the Eng Hboot, even though I don't need its functions?

The reason for not just trying a new Hboot is that the current recovery option in Hboot is not working.. Updating to a new version could perhaps ruin its entire functioning (as right now my device will still just boot into froyo 2.2, 1.32).

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

TL,DR:

HBoot recovery does not open (white screen hangs for an hour+). Should I try the Eng Hboot, a different stock Hboot or reflash PC10IMG.zip and count on it to work and give me a working Hboot? Rooted with wiki method, S-off. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Do you still have the PC10IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noboo:
Hi! First of all, thanks for replying,

The pc10img.zip is not on my SD card any more. Nor has it been there since 1.34 booted.

Perhaps its useful to add that my hboot has had trouble loading img.zip's, after trying 10 times it took my current rom (perhaps due to the messed up hboot)

Should i put the img.zip back? Is there a possibilty of my 32GB card screwing things up? (Sorry again for asking these testable things, but I don't have a working recovery yet..)

Beat regards
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhl99:
Hi !

Can you boot into recovery using:

adb reboot recovery

If not then your recovery is broken and not your hboot.

You could reinstall the cmw recovery using flash_image and the recovery.img in a similar procedure as described in the wiki at http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

The steps would be:

adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*
adb push recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell

and the in the # shell:

# cd /data/local/tmp
# ./flash_image recovery recovery.img
# sync

This would reinstall the recovery.

Have fun - Guhl
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noboo:
Hi,

'adb reboot recovery' indeed made my phone get stuck on the white boot screen.

I reinstalled the recovery using the steps you gave me (thanks for quickly writing the code down btw!) which worked, but only after uninstalling CWM and rebooting. So now the recovery is reinstalled. I tested this by going into fastboot and running it - it works!

The first thing I did is run a backup of course.

But where do I go from here; first I install the clockwork rom manager from the market. But when I use the upper button (flashing), my recovery will break again. Is the manual recovery installation I just did a replacement for the rom manager flashing method and should I stay away from it?

A quick confirmation would be awesome; I do see the backup I just made in the manage and restore backups section.

Thanks for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhl99:
Hi !

The effect that flashing the recovery from rom manager sometimes breaks recovery is known since the first days of the G2. Sometimes one had to do it 2 or 3 times and then it worked.

The method using flash_image is a replacement for the rom manager flashing method that always works for me. So i'd always flash recoveries like this.

Have fun - Guhl

Before rooting, you must have PC copmanion installed. Because of the drivers. ;)

Reinstall with SEUS and try again if it doesn't work.

Try this, it worked fine for me:

when you have klicked "root" in SuperOneClick, DON´T plug your phone until it says "waiting for device", and before you plug it, make sure the things mentioned above are enabled.

PS:

If you think there´s something wrong with the root-test-application, download the Terminal Emulator from the market and type in "su".

When it says:

"permission denied" you don´t have root, and if you have root, the $ symbol will change into #

I've read the guide, though im a bit lost :o

Well I did that, though I also started SuperOneClick again and clicked "root"

When I did, SuperOneClick crashed and it occured to me that I prob didnt need to click root for the 2nd time? Basically my phone now shows KE7 firmware, though I just want to know how to confirm if i have root or not?
