[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Certain power points seem to not charge but certain power points do the charging job perfectly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
what's a "power point"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
The place where you plug your charger in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
that's a faulty charger then
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Define 'power point'. Are you talking about different Usb cables, different chargers, different wall sockets or jiggling the cable's connector to the phone?

In the latter: replace the cable and you may need to clean the contacts on the phone (eg with a hard toothbrush)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
I think he means wall sockets
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friartuckme:
ysah i think he means wall sockets also at which it would still need to be a fault with his charger as its there that the voltage is converted to the voltage and ampherage that the phone uses.any differences in voltage that is given to the socket would most likely be on a very small scale
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Ah I see. Does Sammy do one to one exchanges of the charger if its faulty?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
Does anyone here use aftermarket chargers? Thinking of an innergie one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
I swapped.my cable, seems to charge better than the stock one..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaffer4:
I have the same problem, but with all cables

I just posted to an other threat about charging problems, so i will copy/paste it:

I have the problem that the phone only want to charge with soms chargers.

I can connect the phone to the original charger or to a pc or any device without problems, the phone will charge.

Even with an old blackberry charger (only 2 wires, no data) and car charger can i charge without any problem!

But when i connect the phone to the htc charger of my old phone, or to an iphone charger i see the phone is connected but it won't charge.

When i open batterymonitor i see that the charger is connected, but the phone still use his battery.

I tried this with all kinds of charders and all kinds of micro usb cables. Then i thaught there was maybe a resistor or chip or something build in some chargers, because i couls only charge with chargers with 2 wire cables.

Then i took a usb extension cable and i disconnected the two data wires so only the + and - 5V cables were left,

but still no success. If anybody knows where the problem is, please let my know

with kind regards! Martijn
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blaffer4:
discovered the problem

In the case there would be more people with this problem:

The problem is not caused by the charger but by the cable. If i use a cable that's a bit to small or to long i get problems. If you want a longer cable to charge your phone, you need a good and big one, not a cheap tiny cable. ;) I only use good cables now and had no more problems for the last year or so...

Hello there;

I just started to receive a message that there is an update available from my carrier ATT. I have a rooted note 2 with stock ROM with (Perseus-alpha35-CWM) for o/c.

i am totally stumped on what has happened to my s2,

suspect its some sort of water damage.

When i boot the phone im faced with the 'samsung galaxy s2' screen only and the boot doesn't progress any further.

then i try to restore firmware and enter recovery mode i am faced with 'low battery!! cant download!' regardless of how long the phone is left on charge .

Any suggestions what i can do or even where i start?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You certainly don't create two threads about the same issue within 2 hrs. What do you mean 'suspect some sort of water damage' - was it exposed to water or not ? Try another battery, failing that I'd be taking it to a service centre, tho obviously they won't fix it gratis if the problem has been caused by water/moisture. In that case, take it to a local mobile repair shop (non-Samsung authorised repairer) who will likely fix it more cheaply than a service centre.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Well so not only have you used completely generic title but you have also created dupe threads. You're not getting off to a good start on here. Please do not leave such generic topic titles. Titles are supposed to be specific and descriptive of topic so that people browsing forum can see at a glance what topic's are about. Putting a topic in the Help section of a S2 device and putting a title of topic as "Help with S2!" doesn't really help anybody.

Have you tried other battery?

Have you tried other charger?

Tried charging battery via external wall charger?

Have you tried booting into both Download and Recovery mode?

Has this been a stock sammy device or have you previously been flashing custom roms?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You didn't say you'd tried another battery, and that's the problem with threads like this with zero information from the start, it ends up being a drip feed/a game of 'twenty questions' - you reveal a bit more info with every new post as to what you've done so far (which you should have mentioned in the first instance). Thing is, this takes ages. Most people here don't have the time/patience for threads like this anymore. If people can't read the rules when they sign up which say they should give as much info as possible about the problem they're having, I'm one of these people.

Good luck.

Put in a fully charged (charge using an external battery charger or a friend's SGS2) different battery (new or borrowed).

Get into Download mode.

Flash a stock firmware via odin.

Then report what happens. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
I said "external" wall charger, ie dont try and charge them within device. You can get standalone chargers that charge your battery independently of the device. I got mine from ebay as I have recently fried the USB port so it will do nicely until I repair/replace port.

You still didn't answer my question regarding download mode, Have you entered download mode and tried flashing stock rom?

Exactly my point m8, It really gets on my nerves when people create help topics but then give no relevant info and been vague and then expect us to then to have a quick specific solution.

Now you're just been an ungrateful ****. We're not stuck up our own arse, The point that was been made was that you need to provide relevant info if you expect people to bother trying to help you without having to go back and forth to try and get needed info or solve issue.

You mean how to get to stock recovery? The usual way... Power off your phone, then press and hold together Vol+, Home and Power until it boots into recovery. From there, do a factory reset, then try booting normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danay:
if its Volume up + home + power the phone will not enter this mode

Very unsure of how to do this! i havent got the same file types so im totally lost!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Confirming, just in case... Are you pressing and holding these buttons from your "Galaxy S II" screen, or did you completely power off your phone? If you are already stuck at the white "Galaxy S II" screen, shut down first (you can just pull the battery). Then press and hold three buttons (I usually hold Vol+ and Home, after that press Power, and hold them all together). Your "Galaxy S II" screen should come on and off, then come on quickly one more time (all the while holding all the buttons), and then you should see the recovery menu.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danay:
ive been reading around, do you think this could be water damage? And what could i do to check/ repair? typical corrosion points etc?

im a little better working hands on than with the software!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
This is the second time you bring up a possible water damage. Obviously, you know something that others don't, to suspect it... :) So, the same question to you that was asked before: has your phone been exposed to water (other than a minor sprinkle, maybe)? If it has, then it most probably suffered at least some damage, as the S2 is far from being waterproof. I don't recall if it has moisture indicators -- most phones do, but I am to lazy to take mine out of the case, remove the battery, etc... As for specific corrosion points, it would depend on whether it was a local water exposure, or more of an immersion. All connectors would obviously be the prime suspects. Looking at the components inside, the corrosion is usually noticeable by discoloration or some residue on soldering points. If you have a good reason to suspect a water damage, you'll have to take your phone apart anyway, and inspect it carefully. Nobody will be able to give you a definitive answer, as there don't seem to be any direct pointers to some sort of a hardware problem, based on the symptoms you described so far...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danay:
the phone as far as i know hasnt been subject to any water however mysteries happen in my house...hence my question, could this be the case.

i have taken out the motherboard and inspected, but i cant seem to see any issues!

once or twice whilst fidling i have managed to load the initial recovery screen but i knocked out the battery >.<

and havent been able to get into recovery since!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DComrie:
I remember when I was first trying to get into recovery mode - I was convinced it was absolutely impossible!! After what seemed like 50 attempts I found the knack for it and now I don't know how I COULDN'T get it right.

1. Ensure the phone is off. Take out the battery, put it back in and hold down home + Vol up. If the phone turns on by itself, start again.

2. Once you're sure the phone is off and you're holding down home + Vol up, press and hold the power button

3. As soon as you see the Samsung Galaxy S log, let go of the power button but keep holding home and Vol up

You should see it enter the recovery screen. There might really be something wrong with your phone, but the above seems a fail-safe way for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danay:
yep i used this method and i still cant recover!

all i can do is download mode and flash the firmware, which i have a few times (doesnt resolve) and get to the 'samsung galaxy sII GT-I9100' screen

I have same problom and need help

Hi

I need help because I have similar problem like that guy. I broken my glass lightly, I gave my phone to service, thay said that it was rooted and they change the glass and display. Now after few days my phone get jammed. Ive do wipe data/factory reset throught volume up, home, power menu and everything was ok till now (day 4 after wipe). I have on my screen only samsung galaxy s II image and nothing else happens. I can go to reboot menu. And I believe that after Ill do wipe data that everything will be ok, but how long?

So please can anyone help me to explain why you senior guys here :) think it happens?

I flashed my phone around year and half ago. From that time everythig was OK till now. Can it be hardware malfunction? Or something I read about - eMMC brickbuck (but why now? I dont think that they on service change anything that display and the hardware where is connected..)

I have PhilZ Touch 4 - Buil version 4.53 - i9100, CWM Base version 6.0.2.8

I appreciate any help. Thanks

Edit

Hmm. It so strange. Ive played with my PhilZ menu doing some things like wipe cache, wipe dalvig cache, test keys, backup it etc. Some of things (like wipe cache, wipe dalvig Ive done before) but now my phone starts to work again. Really strange. Now I dont know is it something hw? Or is it sw? Really strange. Anyway my system start to boot, it writes me that Android is updated and after few minutes my phone was usable again.

Strange error, strange solution, but it helps me to find that I probably have old PhilZ touch then newest one and older cw too, so maybe Ill try to update. Maybe.. because I dont want to brick my phone before Ill buy Galaxy Note III on november :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM12xda:
My problem strangely solved

Another question - after solved my problem with load Ive find with DiskUsage program (anyway really good one) that there is folder named lost+found which have around 603M. Im just unable to find answer anywhere - can the files froom this folder deleted? I believe that there must be only some older files from previous crash, that they are no need anymore, but Im not sure. Anyone knows the answer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
You can delete the files in the lost+found folder, your application recovered those pieces of data from the corrupted sectors when you did a filesystem check. 680 mb huh? That's a lot of corrupted data? Did you pull the battery suddenly? Anyway no need to worry partially deleted files also will appear there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM12xda:
Thanks for help, deleted and everything looks fine :). I have another question - when Dalvig cache is purged? When I done wipe data recovery? Or only if Ill do wipe dalvig cache? I still dont know if its sw or hw problem. For hw it indicates that error start to show after authorized service send me phone back after changing lcd, for sw that it helps something Ive done in PhilZ recovery menu.

When firstly my phone gave me this error helps when Ive done data factory reset. Yesterday helps me as I believe wipe dalvig cache, but its strange that after that my phone tells me that he reinstalls android system? and that it created 600M of corrupted dats into lost+found folder....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Why do you want to wipe the dalvik cache? The data in it is generated by your installed apps, for increasing their speed, even if you wipe it android will regenerate the data, it's important for normal functioning. Only wipe it when you're gonna flash a new rom, you might have seen the screen "android is optimizing your apps" that's when the cache files are being generated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PM12xda:
I dont want to. I just try to find what was bad on my phone and why it starts work. Well now it works, hope that it was sw problem with some file which was repaired by wipe cache and dalvig case and deleted lost and found then. And that it wasnt hw error, because it will kill me when it will be hw error on motherboard or something like that, because Ive already changed lcd and glass, so from old phone in this case Ill have only battery :) And I hoped that my phone will be functionall till november when Ill buy Note 3 as I hope :)

So my phone works now, everything looks fine now, so thanks for your help with this problem guys.
