[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nobel662:
Freezing the phone

I had the same issue, came here and read all the things about the stuck power button and needing to replace whatever is beneath it. My friend works in aerospace and had told me about one of the things they need to worry about is temperature causing wire shrinkage due to temperature. For whatever reason, I decided to use that logic and throw my phone in the freezer wrapped in a dry rag. 30min later and the phone finally worked after 8 hours of the boot loop/no boot. That was around November and I haven't had an issue with it since (until today, but it is a different issue).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thilly:
can any one else confirm this? my phone keeps shutting off. when the screen is black, itll vibrate every second. im assuming its another stuck power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vikisonline:
Boot loop!

I have just fixed mine!!!!

There is a little battery on the circuit board when you take apart the phone. It looks like a small watch battery. Top side is and bottom side are opposite polarities.

I had the exact same symptom. Sometimes just pressing the power button momentarily would bring up the power down menu, then I knew to press it a bunch of times because it was stick. If I didn't eventually it would turn off and vibrate constantly. It kept getting worse.

I measured with an ohm meter and the button itself seems fine so I figured maybe the digital logic relating to the button itself is faulty. So I shorted the little battery on the board (do this only for a brief period, no more than 1s) and put it back together.

Its behaving perfectly normally. I was also getting weird artifacts during video playback before, kind of like what failing solder would do on a bga gpu. It fixed that too.

So I think its similar to that problem some laptops have, where it wont turn on until you remove the battery, hold the power button down a couple times, and then plug it in. It seems a complete circuit discharge fixed this problem at least for me.

If people are interested I can try to find a picture

removed link

In that picture its the silver shiny metal circle. To short it you connect the bottom soldered part to the metal plate on top of the battery. This comlpetely drains all circuits.

So I think a lot of these problems are caused by a phantom charge. In any sense, Im very very happy :D

Also this could explain why the fridge method worked. Cooling the battery can significantly drop its charge, however I would advise against the cooling method if possible.

EDIT: blah cant post links... if anyone needs the image pm me your email

You'd need to find a friend or local electronics repair shop, but I ordered some here:

http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-sgh-i727-power-button.html.

The buttons are $0.99 USD if you buy 2 or more ($1.05 CAD), but 5-7 day business shipping is like $16.99. Still cheaper than a replacement phone, and it's an easy fix for an electronics person or electronics/tv/computer repair shop... At the rate these power buttons have had reported failures, and for the price, I'd get a couple of them in case the replacement fails in the future...

If my wife keeps squeezing the power button on her phone when some crappy app she has wigs out, I'll be needing my second button sooner rather than later... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phillytothemax:
why when one person says it something everyone band wagons on that idea. i actually had the same issue my skyrocket couldn't go pass the "samsung" screen. all i did was flash a new rom or i just restored an old backup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Then it was user error or a bad flash. And that's software, not hardware.

Skyrocket power buttons are known to fail. I believe Samsung has even acknowledged this.

When your phone randomly goes into a 1-second vibration cycle, sometimes showing the reboot menu beforehand without pressing the button, more than likely it's the power button that has either failed or is sticking.

With my wife's phone, the button was not sticking, and usually lightly tapping the phone at the right angle on your lap or the counter would break the vibration cycle and let it boot up, until the next random power button press and vib cycle would happen.

Button replaced, same exact ROM, and problem gone. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Michael443:
I have a repair shop and i fix these issues with no problem. the only issue im located in Puerto Rico. when the power button gets stuck is because of heavy use, a fall or something that makes a lot of pressure to it and the copper contacts inside the button stay making contact. this is know to happen to i727-i717-i997-i897 and some other galaxy s1 s2 models.

i attached the picture of the power button.

Is the battery charged? Mine did the same when it was at about 0% battery capacity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bburt91:
Just "solved" this problem after a month and a half of on-and-off tinkering. What ultimately worked for me was this exact sequence of events:

Step 1: Let it vibrate until the battery dies.

Step 2: Pry the housing off, access motherboard.

Step 3: Remove battery, plug in charger, stick battery back in.

Step 4: Disconnect the component that powers the screen

Step 5: After first vibration, reconnect screen component.

Step 6: Mash the power button like a MOTHER****ER!!!!!!!

It might take a few tries, so perseverance is key. If this doesn't work after... I'd say about 20-30 times, it's time for a new motherboard or a new phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] B_Quick19:
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem with their phones but my wife's and I e4gt have been almost fully charged. The phone will just turn off not shut down but blink out like a short or something. When we turn them back on the battery level will be like 1% or sometimes say 0 and turn off again. We are both running FI03 rooted and the phones have been running just fine this started a couple of days ago. I thought it was just my phone and when I was explaining to my wife what had happened she told me hers was doing the same thing. Not sure if we had a power serge when they were charging or what but when ever I'm doing something power intensive the phone just goes blank and my battery is dead. I know in the past I've hadit shut down and when I've turned it back on it will lose like half a charge but this makes the phone unusable. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Bad battery, same thing happened to mine and was fixed by replacing the battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
That's just the ics battery load test, your battery has FAILED, you will need new batteries. Don't blame the phone, ics may do the same again after the new batteries, its just the ics, consider gingerbread if you need any kind of no maintenance reliability out of your phone.

I have two epics, a year old this month on sprint, still running great with the original batteries, on gingerbread. Sampled ics (InConvenient Syndrome )for a while, and went back to Gb before any damage was done. (The early builds were less toxic to the phones than the stuff that's coming out now)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TBurt:
How would a ROM/software (which is what ICS is) cause physical hardware (batteries) to die? This smacks of the old wife's tale on how a computer virus can physically destroy your computer hardware. Batteries will die from a few things:

1) Old age - batteries will not last for ever even if not used.

2) after so many charge/discharge cycles (something like 350 to 500 cycles)

3) bad charger (over charging)

4) physical defects in the actual battery

5) Lithium Ion batteries being discharged so low can cause death to itself. The phone's hardware will keep it from getting that low. The phone will shut itself off before reaching that level. Google Telsa cars and bad batteries for an example of #5.

I am sure I am missing some from the above list. Regardless I would be interested in hearing your theory on how ICS or any ROM/software could kill batteries.

What you posted describes in #5 is the best example of what's going on , when the Rom gets borked by bad development and scripts that where instituted into an operating system, like stopping most or all processes so that the phone can stay on longer or until you get it plugged in, and so that when the battery finally sputhers dead there are no vital programs running that can cause a problem. Again the phone not being able to shut itself of in a safe manner, these are all problems that can arise from an operating system that's out of wack. The ota's the Samsung had been releasing are causing more problems than their solving sometimes. Especially on the epic, I ran ics on my phones, the early builds where so so, but I could not deal with excess battery drain, so I went back to gb, fortunately before any damage was done.

I am soon going to release the first version of CosmoROM.

Please tell me what ROM Base would you like and the Modifications and Features that you want me to incorporate in the Future release.

It will be close to stock without any sort of theme modification. ( I Iike Sammy's themeing the most :P )

I will make sure to try to add most of the Features you request but it should not hamper the Stability and Stockishness of the Rom.

Also which HydraCore kernel do you prefer more...The Standard One or the OC one ??

I am aiming to make a ROM with modifications that are necessary and without crappy mods just to make modifications.

Thank you,

CosmoDroid.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] djoni_gitara:
Hey it's great to see this kind of activity. I'm very happy about it.

You asked for suggestions, so i will start:

First of all I am also a heavy user of TW Stock ICS 4.0.4. and I prefer the stock look without any themes, like you do.

I see you're from India, so it is normal that you use as your base DDLR9, I wonder if it would be possible that with ddlr9 version (stock, deodexed, zipaligned, rooted etc) you also add a lattest XXLRT (germany). I found it as a great stock rom for europeans, I think many would be greatful :) (last such project was made by eybee1970 with xxlrq). For me rom like that would be fair enough.

About kernels: PhilZ kernel is great stock kernel and I prefer them, but HydraCore is also great. Cant go wrong here :)

About mods, apps:

- 15UI toggle sytemUI from dr.ketans thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 , download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?o3car5j2u22oom0

Call recording: poolakkal Suresh thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676739&highlight=call+recording

Also there are a great Note2 stuff, like papper artist, ringtones from note2 which are nice, etc...

But like i said just stock (deodexed, zipaligned, rooted etc) rom would be great (xxlrt). Apps and mods from above are cwm flashable so those are not problem for users (there are treads dedicated to them).

Thanks in advance!

@dzoni

suggestion is great
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] CosmoDroid:
Thanks for the suggestions.

I was thinking of using XXLRT as base.

But since my connection speed is slow transfers take a lot of time.

So even if i finish modifying etc fast upload time takes long.

And yeah i have all dose mods but in case of toggles i like the "6 per page" one.

The other stuff I have and have made one on the DDLR9 Base.

If you guys wanna use that one I can upload right away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] djoni_gitara:
Hey dont worry, there are no need to rush!

Just take your time :good:

I stopped being a flashoholic LOL, so personally I am not in hurry :o

About toggles i know what you mean, but i found these are also great (from dr.ketans thread) , flashable through cwm.

1 - option to enable and disable crt off effect

2 - battery bar like miui will be much appreciated..... like this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tombarrasso.android.batterybar&hl=en

5 - mass storage instead of mtp

6 - chinese keyboard

7 - multi csc multi language option

8 - back button kill apps

9 - home button torch like miui/alliancerom

10 - touchkey lights like Gingerbread roms selection "always when dark"

11 - 5x6 tw launcher

12 - ad removal tools or push ad removal tools

13 - audio enhancement mods like beats or something

u can ignore all. its only my wishlist. not of importance and only relavant to my liking. wish u would incorporate them though.

thanks for listening.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] CosmoDroid:
Your suggestions are great. But I'm not a developer. Just a teen. :p Most of your like the buttons etc require modifying many system files and apks.

Making some minor modifications. Hope you guys like it. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] CosmoDroid:
Yeah sure. This basically a stock ROM. Just deodexed rooted and zipaligned by me. However if you lose root flash SuperSU zip from Chainfire's Orig Thread later. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] apurvapatel:
Since I am from India, I too would like your ROM based of the DDLR9 :)

As for the suggestions, I would love the 15 toggles, the edited gps.conf file, transparent weather widget and if possible, call recording with the option to save the call record file after each call. That, according to me, would satisfy everyone, all calls record lovers as well as selective call recording lovers.

I am on DDLR9, I would like to add that in poolakkal Suresh's mod, the phone.apk still is, AFAIK, chinese ROM based apk and you have to manually select to record the calls. What I learnt is that if you push the lib folder from this mod, most call recording apps work just fine on the stock phone.apk. I am using Total Recall Call Recorder for N7000. It wouldnt record the calls without poolakkal Suresh's lib folder. Now after pushing his lib folder to the system folder, the recording works perfect.

Apart from it, as sharkteef suggested, two great mods would be the long press back button killing the running, foreground app and long press home button torch function.

One another great mod would be the lock screen function with the 4 more shortcuts to the unlock circle. The 4 way unlock button?

Thanks for the custom "stock" ROM :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] cxdz810:

My guess is that the people in India had changed theirs to US or had US tabs....

Also could not find a URL for this, hence changing to India region.

I agree with the roll out, everyone had ICS within the end of the next month (May). So wasn't too bad :D
