My phone cannot be fully charged.

Hi all. I have a problem with charging my phone. I always leave it to charge overnight and since few days it is going weired. It says it is charged but if I reboot it it boots up on 77percent. If i plug it in it charges until 100 bu then there are some stripes going through the screen as in old TVs, after reboot still 77 percent.
When i turn it off i boots up on its own to power off charging screen and shows a sighn similar to thermometer next to battery. The phone does not feel hot at all.
I am on MIUI 1.11.18.
Yesterday changed kernel to Siyah hoping that it would help... bu it didnt.
Any suggestions?

You have to recalibrate your battery once you switched to another rom.

already done it and no change... I just wonder if its down to software or hardware issue?
I will try to flash different rom and see how it goes.

Search around the forum for this. The only proper way to recalibrate the battery on the s2 is to take the battery out and leave it out for a few minutes. Delete battery stats just in case.
This has happened to me a few times and it usually sorts itself out in the end...

I have sent the phone for repair. We will see what they say.
I did not reset custom binary count so the may invalidate warranty... we will see

Why would you send the phone in? The issue is clearly software 0_o

Well I reckon that if it was software it would be gone after full wipe and original ROM flashing.
But the issue was still there... so I ve decided it will be best to send it off for repair.

Phone came back yesterday. Although I have not received any advise note I think the battery was replaced.
It works fine now.
Strange thing they did not do any firmware upgrade...

Did they do the work under warranty?
Ricey

Yes. Its been repaired through phones 4u at A-Novo.
Custom binary count has not been reseted

Interesting, wonder what would have to happen for them to check binary count. Probably a.full brick?

Maybe...
I used to work in old Creative repair centre and we had to flash and fully test every unit...

custom binary counter only can be view in download mode rite?
or is there another way to see it?

Might be getting a fascinate, one problem

It doesn't boot unless plugged into a USB. Doesn't matter if it has power to it or not. Can this be fixed and is it a known problem?

and it runs on battery after it boots? or does it always need to be plugged in?

Runs on battery. I'm trading for a droidx, so its a win even with this flaw

Well the phone works completely fine. I can nandroid and restore. So I'm not really worried about loaning it out.

I have a fascinate with this problem. Ive read everywhere and its a known problem by Samsung. But they don't give a **** to fix it. I don't know what to do to fix it. I've tried everything I can think of and then some. Its kind of annoying because if it ever reboots without a plug in around it won't start up, just sits on a charging screen.

I had a fascinate with the same issue. I'm pretty sure I fixed it by an Odin with Repartition checked to a di01 rom, let it boot, and then reflash whatever from you want.

I had the same prob it was due to the battery. I used a new battery and it booted fine. I got a new batt from amazon not a knockoff but a $17 in packaging sold by amazon battery. Check to see if the pink moisture indicator is showing on the battery.

Mine does this at times when the battery completely dies.. I just swap out my spare battery or charge the original a bit and it'll boot

Battery problems

Hi, i think it was asked before, but couldnt find it anywhere so im posting my problem with battery.
I will start from the beginning:
So i installed kyrillos 10.5 and i noticed, that my battery level goes to 5% it sticks there for about an hour and thought that i should calibrate my battery. I insalled battery calibration app, charged my phone hit the magic button. I waited for the phone to shut down on its own and it was just like before. I charged my phone and than booted it. Everything was ok, but when the pone shut down at 33% when i wasnt expecting it i got worried. So then i booted my phone without charging, it booted and intantly shut down. Booted it again and was at 5% and used it for a hour or so. So what is the problem? What should i do?
Sorry for my bad english

You should buy a new battery or download something from Google Play " Battery Callibration"

i think flashing a roms reduce battery life...

buy a new battery :-?

How do I finally fix this instant battery drain problem?

i hope some of you have experienced this. i'm on carbon rom right now. sometimes when i'm in the middle of an app, it's just turn off and when i plug it in and turn it on the battery is at 0%. i've done a factory reset.

I have never had that happen before. Does your battery meter move? Like does it say sit at 50% for ages then all of a sudden your phone turns off.

no, but it does happen around 50% from my experience.

Try out another ROM to see whether the battery drain still happens. If no, then it's the ROM's kernel.

Yeah I would try another rom or hell even stock. Maybe your battery is defective if a new rom doesn't help

How do you charge your phone? Using the stock wall charger?

usb from laptop

This used to happen to a friend of mine when the service centre guys open the phone they discovered that the battery was leaking so they had to change the battery the problem finally went away

Water Damage, Battery Status Unknown, Options?

My wife recently dropped her Razr M in the toilet (gross, I know). The phone never turned off (I'm not sure how to do that), but I put it in some rice to try to get the water out. The phone now boots up and seems to work but the battery status is unknown and therefore it won't charge properly. Would a battery replacement fix the problem? If that's the case, where should I buy a battery? Is it even worth it or should I go buy a new phone?

I had a friend bring me an htc incredible with this issue...his baby slobbered all over it... the battery icon had a ? In it and in the about phone area battery status was unknown... A new battery did resolve the issue but over time corrosion set in and the device begin to lose functionality... captivate keys stop working proximity sensor stayed on notification led stayed on... Then the screen stopped responding to touch... with our device having a non removable battery didn't help matters..

I was afraid of that. I guess I'll just buy another one.

I took the phone apart and cleaned some of the connections with acetone. Now the battery charges and everything appears to be working. Hopefully it will stick.
