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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Interesting, wonder what would have to happen for them to check binary count. Probably a.full brick?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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?

Hmm.. sounds like somehow his filesystem went bye bye. Time for Factory reset if all else failed using the Recovery method. Other then that take it to repair centre and get it fixed as it MIGHT be a hardware 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

Sounds like a hardware malfunction ... wouldn't know anything without more details

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

Hi,
My phone needs about 8-9 our or so to charge completely. In the beginning (5 days ago) it took something like 2 hours. I am only using the original charger with about 2 amperes output.
May this be a software problem? I havent rooted my phone (yet) but I wonder if a reset will help or if this most probably is a hardware issue.

Almost sounds like a weak cable connection.

Hi, if you are charging from a computer this is still slow but not impossible. If it takes this long from a power point I think you should get your phone checked. Also doing a reset will not do anything

If u didn't have problem so it might be some bad configuration of save power (If u tried to do sth with it)
anyway first just restart phone
then flash another ROM with Odin (it will remain ur data) / And also check kernel and compare date of ur kernel with others if thr s different try to update with kies and if no update available Flash kernel
THEN if ur problem appear again try reset factory (u will lose all ur data)
:good:
Thank you, I'll just have to get it checked. Incredibly annoying after just one week of use on such a product.

Flashing Stock Rom or stock kernel doesn't mean root and not void ur warranty
Are you charging it through USB on your PC? If so, try connecting the cable to a USB 3.0 port if you have one (properly configured with all drivers installed). If you're charging it with AC power, try with a different cable (as suggested) or a different charger (the S4s charger is quite powerful, 2 amps).
Did you try checking do you happen to have some app running while it's charging? If you have an app that is drawing power while operating, it can slow down the charging process.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
My nexus 10 is dying with displayed charge at or around 70%. I had lost the tablet and it was dead for months. Idk if that is relevant or not. It did take a full charge a few times after finding the tablet before the above stated issue occurred. The charger I'm using should be in good shape as it charges my Galaxy S4 w/o issue. Running CM 10.1.3 (Stable).
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Update: now the device is dying while showing charge level in the high 90% mark. Device now dies mid-boot even plugged in. Before it would stay on so long as I kept it plugged in. It will stay on if I go into cwm. That's the curious part.

After doing some research I'm going to guess calibration to be the issue. What to do if calibration is so out of wack it thinks its charged when it's dead?
Update: I ran calibration after I managed to get it to 100%. A few minutes later it died. Curiously I put my tablet in recovery mode and it has stayed on for at least an hour now. However when I try to boot into CM it dies. Every retry it dies a little sooner in boot.
Maybe you could go back to stock via fastboot. If that doesnt work I think tour battery is dead.

Actually I've been letting it sit idle in recovery mode. Its had at least 4 hours to drain now. Haven't been able to kill it yet so I am extra confused. I read the charge with an app and it was at 4400. The tablet is perfectly happy in recovery. I wiped my system partition and reflashed CM. This seemed to have an affect to a degree. Once the dalvik cache was rebuilt the tablet died again and went back to the odd behavior I mentioned. I would prefer to not return to stock unless it is absolutely necessary. I will if I have to but I would like to see if anyone else has seen this issue or has an idea on how to TS it as is.
For the Android junkie this would be a fun issue to trace down. I simply don't have the education. I just created my developer console account and am going through the documentation to create my first app. Clearly outside of Google Fu I'm relatively useless.

Try wiping the battery stats from recovery, if yours lets you.
Have you tried wiping/factory reset and starting with a clean install? As part of all the rebooting, you may have corrupt file(s).

I think in going to have to. I've proved the battery is charged and CWM knows it. I'd like to do a titanium backup to preserve my game data but I don't see how if the darn thing dies mid-boot. May have to bite the bullet on this one

It didn't so I just wiped the whole /system partition (I believe that's where the battery bin exists) and flashed CM back. No good.

Flashed full factory image
I used the image found here to completely wipe and reset all partitions and make the thing like it just came out of the box with no trace of mods left (that I'm aware of). It happily booted in and I got about halfway through initial setup and it died and returned to the same behavior.
What do I do now?
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
