[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIFI06:
I have been experiencing this screen flickering for about a month now, my S2 start to flicker, lost the signal and shuts down. At first I knew(or atleast tought) it was the battery because it was thicker, so I bought a new one but it keeps doing the same thing, what else can I do? Any suggestions please?

PS: Sorry about a new thread about this, but i didn't found one that says that the battery was already replaced by a new one.

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WardenBerret:
Are you rooted?

Cause then it could be a ROM bug or something.

If it's not roted, take it to service. (you can go to service with rooted phone to but keep in mind --> root = void warranty)

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Device Info would be great.

It's either the kernel or hardware, but i'm just guessin cuz I dunno what ROM/Kernel you're on. Why? No device Info supplied.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIFI06:
Sorry, Im running XWLSD Neatrom Lite v4.3 , baseband XXLS8, The kernel is PhilZ Touch 3, or based on that I believe.

Thanks for replying

I have the same exact problem as yours. I tried a new battery , same thing.

It happen when the battery is 50 % ~ 40 % .

anyone know how to fix it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
So you flashed neatrom recently, same issues?

We are talking genuine samsung battery right? no cheap-chinese crap from e-bay?

You could rule out kernel with a deep clean, nuke script will do that for you.

If that don't work, you're looking at hardware. Warranty voided?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIFI06:
Yup, been using neatrom for about a week now, I dont remember which rom i had when it started flickering. But before neatrom I was running Omega 19. And yes, the battery is genuine samsung, and its not bulged.

I deleted the battery stats a few times, calibrated with battery calibration a few times, And recently used Ibroid Kernel Cleaner because i had a bootloop, does that one do the same as nuke script? I'll try it anyway

I believe my warranty has expired, it last for one year (Digicel Aruba)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Check again for the warranty thing.

Nuke script deep cleans the device so previous ROMs leftovers won't cause any issue.

How were your stock trips? Ever been to JB leak land?

Feel free to try it out.

You really need to rule out all software related before you start thinking hardware issue.

I will try the nuke script than, I recall I was on the leaked xxlsj when it happened, but then again my battery was bulged.

But why use a leaked version if there is already the official xxls8?

Ill try the stock version anyway, do you think it will change any thing if I flash the stock version and root it, I mean, would it still be stock?

Thanks for your help, really appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:

Exactly the same problem I was encountering on my SGS2. I am on OMEGA 19.2 never been used leaked version using PhilZ then Siyah but remains the same. I was thinking as well that my battery was damage already, I also did so test I tried to play games with charger on, I finished round without flickering then I tried playing again with 90% batt and after a moment it flickered and suddenly blackout not only that I experienced it as well while flashing so now I flash with charger on. What is that nuke anyway? Can anyone give me the link?. It came to my conclusion that I had damage battery but seeing this post is exactly the same dilemma I am experiencing. Attached is the logcat from bbs. And screenshot of in battery graph you can see the cut, it is the time when it flickers and blackout.

Read the same scenario.

I hope someone will look unto this whether its a hardware or kernel/rom issue. I wonder what causes this one.:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
For starters you need to try another battery.

You're device is also awake while the screen is off so you got a drainer over there.

Search for nuke script and you'll get to the thread.

If you guys get that flickery screen only when % drops, then you might not have a hardware problem.

Here at xda we tend to rule out all software before we start thinking hardware.

I have tried a new battery, same problem.

It happens when the battery gets below 50% , when I turn it on again , its 0 %.

Wiped data, cache and system, also flashed another rom, same thing. :(

Only left is to use nuke script, I will use it asap and will report here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WIFI06:
I used the nuke script.. still having the problem. I think it might be the hardware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You nuked it, flashed custom, checked the battery, swap the battery (all genuine) so I guess yes...it's hardware.

No warranty? Service center and have them take a look.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neri2k:
It is happening to me too!

Hi everyone, first of all, apologise for my bad english :P i would like to share with u that im having the same issue. It started about 2 weeks ago. Same symptom, Screen Flickers and then screen go black. by the way i noticed that after the screen flick the cellphone doesnt shutdown, it just remains sleeping and unable to wake up, the cpu get warm and a few minutes later the battery is dead.

First i thought it was the battery becouse my s2 have 15 month old and the battery was thicker. I bought a new one,from a local store near by and when the battery gets around 50%, the cellphone start flickring and the blank again. big dissapoint.

with the stock battery it happens randomly and even with full charge, but it doesnt when the cellphone is pluged in (chargin)

with the new battery it only happens when it gets below 50% charge, and doesnt if it is pluged in.

(Those two facts are wierd, why the cellphone bahaves diferent?)

the first time i expericed it i was on JB LS8.

I have send an email to samsung support, i hope they answer it, and if they dont i will try to fix it in a local store.. in the midtime a friend of mines have a s2 too.. im gonna try both batteries on his phone and see what happens then.

If something change i will let u know!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
This 2nd batt you bought, is not genuine right?

Try you're guy s2.

Sounds dodgy tho, could be a faulty chip issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilpig:
This was happening to me for a month! Was super annoying, the only time it didn't happen is when I was charging my phone. The battery was bulged too.

I bought a cheap generic battery for 15$ and it's been working like a charm now for the past 3 weeks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neri2k:
So it might be the battery after all.. could u tell me the brand of that generic battery?

I belive the one i bought is geniune but im not sure about it. Both battery looks the same to me... in photos i've uploaded the one in the left is the genuine one. the new one has a sticker from the store.

i will be able to test my friends battery this friday so i will have to wait..

Power consumption prob, bad/used battery, happens only with overclock (of gpu and cpu at the same time) at 50% cut off though, the battery can not be that bad, if ya'll still have the same battery try wiping battery stats, i had the same problem but it would only cut off at less than 3% and my battery was huge and my phone is always overclocked
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neri2k:
Well i havent overclocked my phone yet. I have changed from one rom to another in many oportunities but never overclocked it. I used Siyah, then dorimax kernel for a while, but when the issue started i was an original samsung rom, call it stock if u want and wasnt even rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
I'm also having this problem on LSD with Philz kernel. Typically it either (1) gets to 40-50%, go blank, then either reboot or you turn it on and battery is at 0% or 1%. Or (2) It gets to 40-50% then the battery just plummets, like the battery % drops while you're watching it and 15mins later it's flat.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mammarf:
I have the exact same issue as well and im on Biftor 5.2. I've always suspected it to be battery.

And just for extra info, i even tried going back to ICS (yes, ROMNuking back to ICS) ... still had the same issue. Phone works fine if it's plugged in.

Hopefully a new battery will solve the problem. Will let u guys know.

Edit: Just got a new battery. Seems to be going all smooth now

I bought a new genuine Samsung 2000mAh extended battery (standard is 1650mAh) and my issues (screen going black; shutting down randomly; losing battery % unpredictably; & losing signal at times) have all gone away.

I've only had it for 2 days so will report back in a week to verify if it did fix the problems above.

Battery life seems incredible so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sten_amund:
Want to share my experience on the same issue. I'm completely stock, latest JB NEE (XWLSN), not rooted. Phone is less than 3 mths old with the original Samsung 1650 mAh. Battery performance has been great since last update (even though there are some wakelocks). Yesterday, after having surfed (with the Maxton browser) for maybe 30-45 mins, I suddenly experienced the flickering (seemed like back light) when the battery was down to ca 4-5 %. This is the first time I experience this. Elevated temperature around the CPU area for sure, but nothing extreme, I would say. Flickering went on for maybe a minute until the phone died (not the regular "safe" shutdown). Phone would not turn on because of what turned out to be drained battery. When starting the phone with the charger attached, I didn't get any cell signal (wifi was OK). I had to wait about 5-10 mins (I even took out the battery and put it back in again) before the regular pin code screen appeared and signal was OK. Phone has been working fine since this morning.

Unfortunately I am not able to conclude anything based on the above. Warranty issue? Bad battery? Any of you experienced able to tell anything? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I had this problem for a few days now and I did notice when I'd use the stock browser it looked grayed out, so I froze the browser in titanium & it's working normally again.

If I root my Nexus 4, can I still update my Nexus over OTA updates?

Can I keep the original Google firmware?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jemus42:
You can get the OTA updates, you keep the original Google firmware, and as far as I know you either have to install OTA root keeper to keep rooted or get superSU premium that has an option to stick after updates.

If you also use a custom recovery like CWM you probably have to install the update manually through the recovery.

Also, this is a pretty frequently asked question, in the future you'll probably get quicker/more detailed answers if you google first :)

This is just a removal script that removes bloatware.

You can edit the script by your own liking in the file: remove_apps/remove_script.sh

Just flash in any recovery.

But you have to be root and unlocked.

This is not my own idea but just made it custom to JB and Xperia phones.

If you edit the script just remove / add lines in the file i prefer the Note++ app... and flash.

Goodluck to all
