[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KrbnFybr:
Surprisingly I had the same EXACT situation occur as the OP. I set my phone down charged via USB last night and next morning I woke up to an extrememly luke warm phone with nothing turning on, it was a blank screen and I for sure thought the battery was dead...

Ended up at Radioshack in search for a spare battery to use, but the employee's were assholes and wouldn't let me borrow one from out of their SGS2 displays, so I decided at this point to just find a battery online and be phone-less for a few days.

Thanks to pokey for this little gameplan he had written out, ;), it appears there still is life in my lil' R2D2... at least it appears to be.

Edit: Yep it worked, just have to wait for it to charge now--those who have this problem follow pokey's steps and this should direct you on the right path. Good luck!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dgold21:
Unfortunately this didn't work for me, thanks though, had high hopes and tried it several times. I picked up a jig and no life with that either. Dead.

Oh well...warranty phone is supposed to arrive today, can't wait to take back this WP7 abomination (had to try it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dgold21:
So since this phone is verified as dead now, is there anything to worry about in sending it back through warranty since I'm unable to wipe/unroot it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] butikofer08:
This scares the crap out of me since I just got my phone. Good tips to try if it does happen.

Can it be concluded that it has something to do with leaving the charger on it after it is fully charged? Maybe something with the voltage regulator(?) that tells the charger to stop charging when the battery is full.

I have dewalt drills that I swear lose life if you leave them on the charger for long periods of time consistently (even though they are to stop charging when the battery is full). Whats weird about these problems is that it killed the phone too, not just the battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] haines001:
Yes you should worry, at&t might not be able to get it up and running but Samsung will, and when they get the device up and running they will see the root & rom so expect a very large phone bill in 1-2 months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dgold21:
Well that's just friggin' great :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GuestK00442:
My sgsii died on me while rooted and I swapped it out for warranty and did not incure a bill from AT&T or Samsung. It's been about 6 months now so I'm pretty sure they just used it for spare parts.

The funny part of the story is my current sgsii died the other day won't turn on at all. Got my jig today and that doesn't work either. I will try pokeys method and hopefully it works for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
While you could be correct, I don't see Samsung sinking the labor time into looking that closely. I'm guessing they just hook it up to something that'll push the firmware, test functionality, and send it out as a refurb.

I could very well be wrong, but when you get hundreds/thousands of dead devices like they do, its more cost effective to just keep it simple and move onto the next.

I've never returned a device, stock or customized, so this is just my guess based on experience working with a large corporation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 800xl:
I didn't see a final end result from the OP on this one. Did you ship it back without incurring additional fees? I have just had the same problem happen to me, dead as a doornail phone with no real cause. Mine died in my hands, in the middle of using it. Flicker flicker, blank, and nothing seems to bring it back to life.

Wow this just happened to my phone today. It's completely dead. The only thing I can do is go to Odin and it says "Downloading...do not turn off device" or whatever. I don't know what to do.

Hi, just looking around the web for a fix for this problem as it has just happened to me some minutes ago

.

A few days ago I lost my contract S2 somewhere, so reported it missing to police and got my provider to send me a new phone under insurance (Orange UK) it was reported lost Saturday evening 5pm and a new phone arrived on Sunday morning 8am.

Now today, Thursday it did just as you described the screen flickered a bit along with the touch button lights and then dead.

Nothing seems to revive it, it wasn't rooted or had any new firmware on it other than what was provided by Orange UK as I hadn't got around to installing it all yet.

It had only had 2 charges, the initial one after delivery and one last night.

Only Apps I had on it were dolphin browser, alpine quest and Google earth.

My last handset had no problems at all since i got it on launch, this one lasted all of 4 days?, never seen a device die like that.

No battery bulge or any smell of burning or even any heat, just a handset that seems to have just committed hara-kiri :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
This forum is specific to the AT$T U.S. version of the S2 known as the i777. Sounds like you may have a different version of that phone.

I am running Calkulin's ICS ROM and I can't get the hotspot to work. Also, I get a constant data roaming error message in my notification bar. Anyone else have these problems or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnovejr:
i have the same problem i gave up on the hotspot i can only get my 3g to work on the hotspot and i was wondering also how to get rid of the notifications there very annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SanityBroken:
Can't comment on the HotSpot, mine works fine. The roaming notifications are in settings - more - roaming - roaming guard. uncheck the domestic voice and data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnovejr:
when i uncheck those two roaming will still work right?

i am in roaming about 25% of the day give or take
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SanityBroken:
Those are just the warnings that tell you that you're roaming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johnovejr:
sweet thanks! i just wanted to make sure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SanityBroken:
Glad I could help, that's one of the first things I turn off after flashing, they are annoying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
I remember reading somewhere that on ICS the hotspot hack only works with 3g for now... Its better to use the wifi tether app. All you have to do is change the profile to Galaxy Nexus and it works flawlessly. 4G as well.

Have you tried this on the FD05 ICS ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Something I noticed. Make sure u dear the hotspots settings that Max clients is set to anything higher then 0. Mine was set to 0 by default so it wouldn't let anything connect to it. May or may not help but figured it was worth mentioning.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaug42:
I've got an Iconia tablet with a broken recovery (I've been using CWM and Thor's ICS ROM). I'm going to follow the steps outlined here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129873

but.... when I look up the UID from every method, all I get is 0123456789ABCDEF.

Given all the dire warnings about not being able to recover if/when things go wrong without the real UID... this 123 UID isn't the real UID.... is it safe to proceed with the repair here? Or are things really messed up?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eppeP:
I have not messed with ICS myself, but my understanding from reading the ICS threads in the Iconia forums is that the device is no longer using the uid for usb serial number. So it seems you can't get it that way if you have installed any of the ICS updates.

The suggestion I have seen is to look for androidboot.serialno in dmesg directly after booting, but that does not seem to help everyone.

Another option might be to get the device into APX mode and do a usb bulk read, the first read should return 8 bytes that is the UID. I would assume this to still work even after you have installed ICS but I have not tried. I pasted some code for opening the device, reading and printing the uid (using libusb, tested on Linux) on the Iconia forum earlier this week.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaug42:
Hmm OK that's helpful info. Thanks.

I tried the androidboot.serialno in dmesg, but I wasn't able to find the string.... I will try that again after a clean boot.

I've been doing all the debugging from my one Windows machine... I haven't tried plugging it into my Linux PC yet... that's next... I haven't discovered APX mode yet. Time to do some more reading, thanks for the pointers.

Edit 1: OK checked lsusb -v and I serial also shows 0123456789ABCDEF

Edit 2: Clean boot and did a new dmesg dump.. parsed the output and no sign of androidboot.serialno or anything that even resembles it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaug42:
OK, things are not getting better here. I've been tinkering a lot, and in some respect I've just made things worse.

I still cannot find the UID with any of the documented methods here on XDA. I've tried

using adb devices

using Linux lsusb -v

checking the output of dmesg for androidboot.serialno

plugging in to Windows and looking at the USB mount info using USBDeview

looking at the device manager in Windows and checking the "Parent" field

I have also booted into APX mode and to discover the UID that way too... and nothing.

All I get is 0123456789ABCDEF

At this point the frustration level was getting high enough for me to be a bit reckless... I copied "itsmagic" into /data made it executable and ran it. No errors.

I rebooted into Recovery mode, and there I get scrambled graphics on the screen (it's the Acer logo duplicated several times with loads of tearing and distortion) and the tablet vibrates constantly.. non stop until I reboot it.

I can boot normally into the current ROM (Thor2002ro v96) so I haven't busted it completely. If I try to use my existing CWM manager to install any other ROM or use the manager to reboot into recovery mode, it goes back to the scrambled screen and vibrating constantly.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions here? I'd be happy to even roll back to stock and start fresh. There is nothing on the tablet that needs to be saved... except the functionality of the tablet itself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eppeP:
When you write nothing about APX mode, does that mean literary nothing or nothing different?

If you have root you can see if you have anything interesting in /proc/cmdline.

If not I'm out of ideas on how the get the UID for now.

While i very much doubt 0x0123456789ABCDEF is the UID used to generate the SBK of the device you could try reading and decrypting the beginning of mmcblk0 using the SBK that would give (0xA9EA7E00 0xF12BEB06 0x3AD20804 0x364A5F03) to verify this.

You could probably overwrite the restore partition from your running system, I have never done that myself though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaug42:
OK, it's SOLVED.

After much swearing and crying and a little help from the forum here and in other posts the solution to fixing the broken tablet was actually quite easy.

Based on the information here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459821

- I downloaded recovery-ra-iconia-3.16-gnm.img using teh links provided on the thread above

- I ran itsmagic

- Then I did these steps:

adb push recovery-ra-iconia-3.16-gnm.img /mnt/sdcard
adb shell
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/recovery-ra-iconia-3.16-gnm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
reboot recovery

This booted a working recovery mode (FINALLY), and I was able to successfully flash the latest Thor2002ro ICS ROM.

Thanks for your help and suggestions eppeP, they got me thinking in the right direction. :-)

NOTICE:

Let me make something 100% clear before you read on. I take

NO

and I mean

NO

credit for developing this launcher! I only did some minor editing to it, did not develop it.

This is not something really all that special, however I thought I'd share for anyone who's interested. Being as battery conscience as I am I recently turned to the launcher Zeam for a light launcher that wouldn't strain the battery. Although it is not the most customizable launcher in the world, it definitely is easy on the battery. Hence why the battery freindly rom Slim ICS uses Zeam as its default launcher for example. The thing is... the app drawer button on the dock bothers me. The window pane looking button kills the ICS vibe in my opinion. Thus I edited the most recent version of the Zeam launcher to give the app drawer button & home button a more ICS feel.

In the above screenshot I'm using the "Dark fade" dock background and my application grid is set to "193" transparency. The search bar and clock widget seen in the screenshot can be found/downloaded in the Add Ons section below.​

ICS Zeam Download v3.1.10

Just download and install like a normal .apk; simple as that! Hope you enjoy!

I've never really preferred Zeam and that was the reason why. After i moved onto ICS I couldn't go back to the GB looking appdrawer/dock icons..

Thanks for this man, i'll actually try it out.

Will you be updating this with every new Zeam version out? That sounds painful.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] N00B_IN_N33D:
Glad you like it! I'm going to do my best to keep it updated with each new version. Especially since it's really not all that hard. Just a few icon changes and then I resign the .apk... Zeam doesn't seem to be updated that frequently anyways. So unless my laziness gland starts acting up, it'll be updated.

Hey...thanks for this. I've used Zeam on and off since my G1 days.

Quick question for you...the minimalist search box. Is it a complete standalone replacement for stock Google Search or is there a dependency?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] N00B_IN_N33D:
Sorry for the delayed response sisterchick. Actually it's not the "Minimalistic Text" app that you want, it's the "(Tiwiz) ICS Search Bar" app that you want. The Minmalistic Text app can be seen in the left screenshot in the OP; it's what shows the date in a text format. Now back on the topic of the ICS Search Bar, no, it is not a replacement for the stock Google Search. Once you click on the widget it will just open the phone's Google Search app. If you click on the widget's microphone button it will open the phone's Google Voice Search app.

What about my comment would suggest I don't think Samsung should do an official release? I'm just fed up with the whining. What's the point? It doesn't get us any closer to working camera drivers, and it's just mucking up the forum (which wouldn't be such a big deal if the mods would occasionally delete nonsense threads like this....).

BTW- for others thinking maybe Samsung reads these forums: they don't. XDA is (well, it was...) for power-users and devs. We are a tiny fraction of the customer base, and (if you know anything about the business) pretty unimportant. This isn't an insult; it's honesty.

Also, if you want a reason to be angry at Samsung, consider the way the workers in the factories are treated. You think Samsung treats you bad? Try being one of the young women that build the components in the factories, or the people who live nearby and can't drink the water from their own well... You've got it pretty good. You'll get ICS, stop whining on XDA. (BTW- this is directed at the OP, not Jay).
