[Nook Color General] itesla:
NC with CM7 - my first android device. I'm finding that a lot of the widgets I have tried don't seem to refresh. I was really looking forward to homescreen "mission control" with all kinds of info live updating. Things I have tried that don't refresh:

-Yahoo Sportacular - It is still showing some game from 3 weeks ago even after opening the app. Also, is there an option to make it show all scores, not just my favorites?

-HeavensAbove (satellite & space station tracking) - only refreshes if I open the app

-News - I forget the exact name of this builtin android widget, small black box is supposed to be showing news stories, but is a week behind

There are a couple more that I can't remember at the moment.

So, is this a general android issue, a problem with each widget, problem with the nook, ???

Also made sure the sync option in android is set.

I did a couple searches in the forums and couldn't come up with anything.

Thanks!

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikless:
Situation: Battery was taken out while the Phone was booting

Now it gets stuck while showing the green HTC logo. Only removing the battery can turn it off again.

What I tried:

-Hardreset (bootloader works but still stuck at HTC screen when rebooting)

-Using a RUU to update to another version (either no connection found or ID problem)

What I would like to do is to just get ANY version of android running on the phone and then update to the vodafone_ger newest release.

From what I read I will need a goldcard, but I cannot create one without getting the CID.

I got the adb to work in the sdk using fastboot but fastboot does not support shell so "adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid" is impossible.

Anyone has an idea how I can get the phone to work again? (warranty expired)

Thanks to anyone who tries to help me!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
My battery's been on the fritz for the last days now. Whenever I turn my GS2 off, it will shows tha battery charging screen, then flash to another icon that shows a battery, exclamation mark in a yellow triangle, and a thermometer. It had to plug the charger in to get it to turn on, even though battery was at 100%.

So, I decided to download Battery Doctor to check my batter stats, and it says 'Health: Over Voltage'.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Help would be much appreciated.

What OS version are you running?

What Kernel version are you running?

What carrier (if any) did you purchase the phone through?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
I'm on 2.3.3 (KE7), using Chainfire's kernel. Phone is carrier unlocked, unbranded from clove.co.uk.

Btw, I think I may have fixed it. I discharged the battery and used a charger with a lower voltage output to get it fully charged. (Charger I used if from my spare phone, a Samsung Champ). It now says that my battery health is good.

Now, the problem is that my phone won't stay powered off when I turn it off. It will stay off for 1-2 secs and power back on. Even if I remove the battery, the phone will power on after i place the battery back without me touching the power button.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olofwolfman:
I have the exact problem. Is the battery health still good? I would like to fix this by myself and not send it in and be without my GS2 for that time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rampler:
You should try this:

1. be sure, that your battery is full (charging over night)

1. run the app battery calibrator

2. unplug charger

3. drain battery all the way down till it shuts off

In this way your phone can remember what is 100 % and what is 0%

My sgs2 shows 4,194 V at 100 %

I think your stats (look into battery calibrator) said that 100% are for example 3,8 V

PS: You need root permissions

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Please post us your current voltage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igniztion:
I have this exact problem. Battery Calibration is pointless, we all know that.

Did anyone ever find out if this is fixable, or do I have to contact Samsung for a replacement?

It's quite annoying that I can't turn off my phone, it just powers on after about 2 seconds. In addition, I never know how much juice I have left in the battery as the reported capacity can jump from 90% down to 6% in an instant. After a reboot it might go up to 12% but I can still use the phone for hours without it shutting down...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiD123:
Yeah

I've been having the same problems as all above...

Galaxy S2 on Sensation rom, but its not the rom, i flashed to another and the problem still remains...

It all started with phantom charging...(charging when the charger is not even plugged in and constantly making the "charger connected" sound)

I got the phantom charging fixed by cleaning the charger port with a cotton bud and some cleaning alcohol...But now i have overvoltage...

And just like the others, it'll stay on for example 100% and if you reboot its suddenly on under 10% and slowly works its way up to 20 or 30% without even being charged.

I'm assuming the battery got messed up during phantom charging, in tthis case calibration doesnt help, nor does flashing another rom. Flashing another rom leaves the phone stuck in MTP mode therefore unable to use it as a flash drive.

A vid on youtube reccomends replacing the part of the circuit board to which the charger port is attached and as well as the battery at the same time as the battery always gets messed up with the overvoltage issue....

When i have overvoltage i cannot charge even when its under 10%, unless i leave the charger in and reboot the phone it will then charge once it comes back on and it even says GOOD HEALTH until i unplug the charger.

I'd really like a definite solution to the overvoltage issue...

I am also seeing the same issue for the past 3-4 days, I have switched off the phone and took out the battery, planning to visit samsung support center.

I hard rebooted the phone(which reset it to factory) that did'nt help.

will update once I get more info/help from Samsung support.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locster126:
i had the same problem as you guys and i fixed it by cleaning the contacts on the phone where you connect the charger. use some cotton buds and a needle and some alcohol and clean all the contacts at the bottom of the phone (usb cable slot).

make sure phone is turned off tho whilst doing it. that fixed my over voltage issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikaschndr:
Hi Guys,

I went to Samsung Mobile Support Center today, they told me that USB mini port has turned slightly green, which means that it has in contact with Water

this will not be covered under warranty and might need to be replaced with charges

Tomorrow they will tell me the exact cost.

I still believe, its not an issue of Power port but with the battery port.

will update if I am able to get it solved.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demondor:
It's a problem with your usb charging port. The only way to truly fix it is to have the charging port plus circuit board replaced. Happened to me a week back and I tried virtually everything- stock roms, removed root, replaced batteries etc. None of that worked. Some posts said it was a port problem. Went to a tech guy I knew and he confirmed the issue when he disconnected the port. It was relatively cheap for me to fix but some people have climed that samsung charges a large amount to fix it. You're better off trying to get it fixed on your own. If you're on warranty, try and claim it.

Also alot of people are having this issue- yours is about the 5th topic I've seen about this problem this week
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikaschndr:
Hi Guys,

My problem is solved. Samsung support replaced charging port and the chip it was in(total cost 650/- INR, about 13$)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyyody:
i have the same problem on my gs2, so can i fixed this problem by cleaning the mini usb port?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiD123:
Cleaning the usb port will/might help with phantom charging , but not overvoltage.....

For Overvoltage you may need to replace the whole USB port part of the circuit board (easily obtainable on EBAY) and you have to replace the battery at the same time as well cause the battery (also easily obtainable off ebay) gets damaged with the overvoltage problem.

I have ordered both about a week ago, awaiting 3 weeks for it to arrive to my country.

Good luck with that...

Theres videos on youtube of how to do the repair for overvoltage yourself...

Will report back here if circuit replacement worked for me...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyyody:
thank you for you explain,i want to know is it difficult to replace the circuit board by myself?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyyody:

Bent USB tab?

I was getting this error and noticed that the tab in the USB charging hole was a little closer to the edge than I expected, so I grabbed a toothpick and bent the tab back towards the middle, and that fixed it. The 'over voltage' message is gone and the charging works again.

Mine is a Sprint Epic 4G Touch.

So, i was so excited when i saw this post yesterday, i tried it immediately, and instead of fixing my charging problems it brought back the PHANTOM CHARGER....

PHANTOM CHARGER is gone now after cleaning port out again, but overvoltage is still around (as well as "thermometer in a warning triangle" when the phone is in a turned off state)

Waiting over a month for my new flex cable replacement from ebay....i ordered batteries, flex cable and battery dock. Batteries arrived 3 weeks ago, the others are still yet to arrive.

But thanks anyway for the suggestion!

At least i now know that the flex cable (charger port) is definitely faulty.

I got similar problem to this. But in my case when phone was off, I had an icon showing battery with warning sign and a thermometer sign on it. And I couldn't turn my phone on without putting it to charger first.

But after cleaning usb charger port of phone with toothpick, problem fixed. There was some fur in port which was short circuiting may be. But now my phone is working fine. :)

Cleaning usb port, usb board and all the metal contacts (inc ones on back part of the case) with isopropanol also fixed mine.

It was doing both the charging and overvolting thing and is now fine. Cleaned both sides of the usb board after prising it (gently) loose.

Used a needle to clean the usb contacts after dipping pin in isopropanol. (no need to open up to do that obv) Not sure which bit fixed it but it did!! :)

My problem started after i got water in there. Obv shorted something out but its fixed now for free....cheers guys :)

the usb and earphone jack is something i have been worring about, losing the ability to function correctly with Odin or music with lint in my pocket or from water residue.

to those who have replaced it ,have you been thinking of away to prevent the issue next time, something like a dust cap/protector?, i use a wallsocket battery charger so i was wondering about covering the usb slot on the protector case i have on,not on the actual phone since the connection is important
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiD123:
so my "Charger Port " finally arrived from Ebay after 2 months...

I replaced it by myself and its working perfect now...

No More Overvoltage, no more phantom charging , no more yellow temperature triangle in the powered off state and no more automatically switching on from the off state....

Attached is the new part which i replace, i would've called it a charger port, but the whole thing as it stands there is called a " OEM Flex Cable + Charging Charger Connector Port USB For Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100"

I replaced my original battery, Now using a Dock to charge 2 Batteries and keeping the port mainly just for data connections. My original battery got messed up with this problem, it gives me a low reading and next minute its higher than it was instead of going lower....

Hello.

I'm having the same problem. I've ordered the flex cable replacement, and I'm just being curious if it's safe to continue using my phone and charging it from Pc with the USB cable for lower voltage.

sent from my Amstrad CPC6128
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiD123:
Firstly...Lol at the "sent from my Amstrad CPC6128" bit....

Secondly... You can still use your charger all will be fine as the PC and the charger give the same voltage technically...The phone is just confused. Have you tried cleaning the port first? Sometimes a good blow in the port helps a lot. It helped me one time. I replaced my battery at the same time i replaced the port as i was not sure if the battery suffered abuse too.

Theres a differnce between Voltage and Current. The pc and your charger both supply the same voltage but the currents are different which is why the pc charges at a slower rate than the charger.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

I solved the problem by replacing the charger port...

Some people solved this by blowing into the port, you can even use a vacuum cleaner to suck metal dust out of the port.

Cleaning helped me once, but the best thing is to replace the port.

I had a problem with my "battery" over voltage.

When I charged to 100% after I disconnect my charger the phone don't stopped to charge.

When I turned off the phone, the phone started charging without charger or just reboots by itself.

My solution was changing the USB port.

After I changed the USB port my phone was ok, battery health status was: Good, after full charging, when I unplug the cable there was no charging without the cable, my battery was once again strong and endurance.

This problem "shined" after 3 long years of use and I am very pleased with no error or bug on my phone, but that is technology sometimes fail and that is normal.

Hello.

I've rooted my phone a while back and currently have Recovery 3.0.2.4. Everytime I try to install a new ROM, i go into a boot-loop and I have to reload my Froyo based ROM.

I've just read that Gingerbread came out on the MT4G and I was wondering if its worth un-rooting my phone (if thats possible), to get this update. I'm not making much use of ROMs because I always get bootloops.

You have to try with SE Update Service.

When it tells you that you are up to date, you press INSTALL and it asks you to wether install or not? You say yes...

Then it renews your phone to factory settings.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phoneyericsson:
When you use SEUS, it asks you if you want to update software OR repair phone. Select repair phone, and that will fix everything.

You should back up your rom in the recovery. If you want to use custom roms, you must do this.

Yes you can upgrade straight to 2.3 custom roms from the position you're in. Download the correct ROM, and kernel, flash the kernel, put the new rom.zip on your SD card and flash it.

There are many, many, many threads like this so if none of this works you can still find how to fix your phone.
