Guys i am using this phone from past 2 months and no problem whatso ever but since past 2 days its bugging a lot......when ever i connect my phone to a charger or USB then it works perfectly but the moment i unplug the charges the screen turns unresponsive and starts to lag...i tried restore factory settings but was of no help....!! please help as soon as possible!!!
I have the same behaviour here.
The phone is a Yoigo i9103 with 2.3.4 Android
I dont remember the factory kernel version.
The screen is irresponsive sometimes, slow and phantom most of the time. i can't hold touch (like when move a desktop icon or scroll a list) for more than 3 seconds, the screen acts as if I have removed my finger.
I reset to factory defaults and installed a 2.6.36.4-ardatdat kernel (V.1.5) and it have been working nice for a few days. Now its working bad again.
I have done factory reset again, removed screen protector (perhaps static issue), wipe cache, wipe davik, wipe battery stats, remove sd card and nothing.
When I plug the cable (from charger or from USB) it works smooth again instantly.
I tested with 456MHz max, 216MHz min governor interactive with the cable pluged and it works fine. Screen is smooth and response is fast and accurate.
Do again with 1000MHz max, 216MHzmin governor performance without cable and its irresponsive again.
So, I think its not a CPU work issue.
Question for people who know about capacitive screens or smart people in general
Could be something like the screen have static charge and when the cable is plugged the phone is well grounding, so it works fine again??
Sorry for my english
It might have to do with the voltages....

@ Romwe
It could be what you are saying but there could be many other factors at play other than that also.
We can't be sure if grounding is actually helping in reducing it by passing the static charge through the ground thereby increasing responsiveness, though its certainly possible.
I would suggest you to take it to the service center as they would simply change the motherboard or the screen.
Do update here whatever you do.
Ok. Ill do
This morning i plugged the phone to the car charger, its not a samsung's one its from an old blackberry, when i take the phone again, about 1h20', the screen was black and the phone does not respond.
Did a reset ( 7'' power button ) and the phone works again.
Now the interesting part: i have unplugged it about 1 hour ago and the phone still thinks its charging...
The battery reads 84% now, 3970mV and status charging
The screen is smooth and fast as when the phone is plugged.
This things are freaking me out :what:
Ill do a battery reset later.

maybe its a micro usb port problem... I'm facing some unresponsiveness while charging, and when unplug my phone my screen sometimes make to fail the long press, and can't make long press touch for example like keeping the status bar in the middle... I solve it by blocking the screen and turning it back on. It always has been like this from day 1, so I think that's a bug that i should to bear with.
There's something definitely wrong with the hardware now that its showing wrong status of being charged when the charger is not even connected.
I feel the screen could be just fine as it is working fine when the system feels/judges its connected to a power source even though when it is not. There could be something wrong with the motherboard or as George said it could be the micro USB which is faulty.
If you take it to a service center I think these guys will simply flip your motherboard for a new one.
Keep updating us here.

Go to service center because it is probably a hardware problem.

When plugged u set to governer interactive and unplugged it is governer performance? I feel thats the issue. Set it to interactive for unplugged as well. Plus make sure ur voltages are not UV more than 25mV. Wipe battery stats once fully charged.
If nothing helps, then its surely h/w issue.

I have this problem too with my phone.
But I have found some sort of "fix" for it, though it doesn't seem to last very long.
When I get these problems I use a semi-wet wooden toothpick and cleans the chargerport (microUSB port). And after that it seems to work better.
My guess is that the system seems to recognise some sort of charge-trigger and that may interrupt the touchinput-sequence.
This is only my own thoughts and experience but it seems to work for me, soo I figured I could share it with all of you!
Cheers!

I could have found a solution:
It seems the problem is all related to dirt in the microUSB-port.
I cleaned the port very much, and made sure it was clean even in the tight area between "ground" and the "stick" where the power comes from.
I used a small piece of standard writingpaper and folded it once and stuck it between ground and the "powerstick". I also used a thin knife, like a razorblade to get it clean.
But now it seems all problem I had has disappeared!
Hope it helps others
I never had such problems ;-)

I got my sgs2 about a month ago and its been like a dream, battery lasts for a long time phone runs ultra smoothly no glitches and nothing weird has been happening, but these last few days its just been really weird.
1) it started randomly going into driving mode, i dont even know how to activate it or what it does, but i think its draining my battery
2)When i was watching a tv show on my phone it thought that there was an hdmi cable connected and wouldnt let me hear anything through my headphones. i exited it several times but it still though there was a cable connected. Then i went straight home and quit it from the task manager and it worked with the headphines but that might have been a coincidence.
3)When i connect the charger it takes a while to realize that its charging and sometimes stops charging and says that the battery is too hot or too cold but when i feel the phone it feels completely normal.
4)When i connect the usb cable, other than taking a while to realize that its connected to a charger it doesnt realize that its a usb so i cant transfer files with my computer which i do often
5)I pressed home before and it took me to some sort of clock which i imagine is for a dock but i have no such thing
6) Even after using the phone for a while and using several apps the android os has used 59% of my battery, when usually its the display that uses about 30 or 40%
none of these things had happened before and now they randomly started all at once, i havent downloaded any shady apps so i doubt its malware
any ideas?
thanks
Are you using a stock firmware or custom?
Have you tried resetting back to factory default?

seems like majority of your problems are linked with the micro USB port, try resetting your phone and see if that helps. This is weird though.
It happened once to me on my sgs but that was because I inserted the charging pin without realising it was wet but it went back to normal a few days later and I changed my charger.
i was also starting to think it would be a micro usb problem,
would a factory reset fix it?
if so how would i back up my apps so that i have the same apps with the same progress on them, is it even possible?
or should i just wait and see if it goes back to normal?
I am also having this issue now. I've tried a factory reset with no effect. The phone is now largely unusable. Did you get a resolution? If so, how?
im having the same problem too .. wish it's just a software issue!!
the problem solved itself after a couple of days, i took out the battery and left the phone alone for about a day and after it worked fine again, not sure if it was the time or leaving it without battery but its working normally again
I'm having this exact problem - phone switches into driving mode, then says MTP is connected - then it switcheds to a strange lock-screen I have never sen before. It's really strange. I flashed a nandroid backup from a few months back and still the problem is there. I'd flash back to stock and send it in - but I can't connect to Odin via USB because of the problem. Is there anyway to convert a Stock rom to a CWM flashable file?
I'm desperate to get this sorted.
Experiencing the same. Has anyone a proven solution for this?
My phone, sorted itself out - should I say my wife sorted it out - by mistake. What I think she done was hold down the home button, and then pressed the power off button together and held them untill the phone switched off. When my phone came back on again - she had somehow removed the -Exclamation Triangle of the kernel counter and removed the problems from this post - that I'd been experiencing for abouyt 5 months prior.
Go figure - I now have a SGS2 that works beautifully again and has also had any kernel counter and Custom Rom flashing notifications removed altogether. I wish I knew why this worked, as I'm sure their are many who would like to remove the Triangle without a jig.
The other option that seeemd to work for other people was to clean the MicroUSB port of the device with a dry, clean toothbrush - though this did nothing for my problem. Good luck -I know how frustrating it is.
Help Please
Guys, I am Facing the EXACT same problem.
1.Driving mode on/off automatically
2.Showing a lockscreen which shouldn't have existed on this planet.
3.Hanging up unconditionally. Have to restart phone.
4.Sudden "mtp connections" and because of that "Media Scanner"
I own a Galaxy note just 1 month old! I was so angry that i wanted to sell this. But i couldn't adapt to any other smaller screens so, guess ill try fixing this.
1.It definitely is something related to usb port (Since i cannot charge my phone, i use an external charger)
2.Took my beloved to a samsung service centre, they said phone is waterlogged and showed me the motherboard, saying"IC MIGHT be damaged"
3.Cost for repair - $200
4.Cannot afford that. I am guessing they were bluffing cause i saw the shiniest motherboard ever
5.Please fix this, or ill be stuck with a Nokia 500 !!
6.I can, however afford changing the usb connector, anyone successful with that?
Edit: Did my homework and found out that its definitely a usb port problem. Solution:Clean the usb port. Ill try try it and get back to you ppl. Oh and about 20% of the world's population is facing the same problem.
Edit(2): SOLVED!!!
1. Turn Off phone
2. Remove battery.
3.Take a Brush with hard bristles(Toothbrush/Artist's Brush)
4.Take a pin.
5.Take your own sweet 15mins to perfectly clean the micro usb port using the brush. Nicely and Tidily, give all possible strokes to flawlessly remove any dirt in there.
4.Then take your pin(Be careful here) and gently insert it into the gap between that small metallic micro slab and the bottom part of the usb Connector and gently move it up, VERY GENTLY!!!
5.Clean the battery's charging plates using a cloth, i used my own T-Shirt.
6.Put battery in and REBOOT.
7.Clean the charging pin of the charger using the safety pin/Brush or both.
I have it on for 15mins and no problems. Removed and put the charger again and again, still no problem. After waiting for 1 week, i am able to charge it using its charger! Now lets see whether it lasts......:-/
Edit(3): So, my phone acted up again last night, with driving mode and car dock. I used the pin solution, No problem till now. its Peacefully charging. Bah! it really is annoying
Edit(4): Now, its been 24 hours since my last solution, and phone hasnt acted strange. I guess after another 12 hours ill rule out the permanent solution. Which i used.
same here
Well.. I'm having similar issue. Battery drain and random driving mode/voice search sometimes. It all started after last OTA update and rooting without changing a ROM to custom. I've clean out USB port and no result. Maybe it's time to scan system with AV or unroot device...

I had the same issues 2 weeks after i bought my galaxy s2. Took it to Samsung customer care and they replaced the micro usb port. Haven't had a single issue since.
PS: Try to dry out the port and the phone if it is a water logging issue. I used a hair drier to do that. Luckily the tab that indicates water damage hadn't changed colour.
Had same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Note - randomly going in and out of driving mode, used a dry, soft toothbrush to clean out the USB Charging port, so far so good.
Make sure to flick the bristles of the toothbrush back and forth with your thumb first as you might see a lot of dust fly off of it.
Don't use anything hard like a pin or needle as you might scratch the contacts.

It's just a software problem, the reasons might be:-
1) you might have opened and closed some huge apps randomly and very rudely..
2) You are low on space on the internal MMC Card
3) Your phone might be performing the restarting apps re scheduler
Solutions:-
1)Factory Data reset will not help as the cache section might be corrupt.. neither the android 3e will help...
2) a)Use odin and download the Latest firmware package from Sammobile's Website.
b) for tutorial on flashing, go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488942.
c) Do not touch the phone after processes and restart was observed...
d) Again get into download mode and re flash the same Firmware again...
e) Restart the phone holding the HOME key, (it won't do anything by itself)
f) it will surely fix your Phone
3) Message me if any problem persists...

I registered on this forum just to say that this is a great solution. It looks like my phone is saved now
Hope it will not happen again.
Hello everyone. I have a Galaxy SL running stock Gingerbread (2.3.6). It's not even rooted.
A few hours ago, I was playing Angry Birds. Battery level was around 80%. Then I switched to another game (SliceIt, to be precise). At this point, I noticed that the backside was unusually warm. I checked battery temperature via Elixir 2 - 45C. Usually it would be around 37C. I thought it was probably due to the game. And the day was hot too. But after a few minutes, the game just hung. Home button, lock button - all unresponsive. Then I pulled out the battery and reinserted it, but now it won't even turn on. I've tried charging it again, but no luck. Please help!
Strange never heard of this problem before
so is your phone is not turning on
Try to go to download Mode by pressing volume down+home button+power button
A Friend of me had a similar Problem, we took out the battery for about ten minutes. After that it booted again.

Yes, it won't turn on even to save its life.
Nah, mine went to 60 degree celcius, while on Skype videocall with OC to 1300MHz. Then i kept on charging and aftr a min or two, it said, charging stopped due to extremely low or high battery temp.
Later, i removed battery, and later, turned on after like 15min, smooth and normal as ever.
So your problem definitely isn't because of overheating.

Then what could permanently brick a phone like this? Hardware failure? But then this would be the first time. I've given the phone once to service center for a camera-related problem already, but I haven't experienced any hangups, or sudden reboots. Then again, maybe that's because I haven't even rooted it yet...

I didn't know our phone had a safety cutoff
what we do know is that not all phones are the same. if kbar's phone's safety cutoff wasn't working or something, or something else wasn't made 100% as designed, it's possible that the soldering on a circuit melted and he lost the electrical connection needed to run his phone. happened to my laptop before. I know a laptop doesn't have a cutoff (in most cases), but you get the point. even if the electronics are rated higher, the solder may melt sooner.
@ kbar, it's best to take it in for service if it won't go to download mode.
Case closed
Thank you all for your help. Got it back from service center. The guy was vague. "Board problem" or something. Makes me agree with what supergaijin said: probably a faulty chip. Anyway working fine now...

Really strange problem guys...
My phone is always "on charge" , the icon in the notification bar is the charging one, even widgets are displaying the "on charge"...
the fact is that it's unplugged !!
i've tried removing the battery and the phone didn't turn on, so i put it on charge and it finally did turn on...
After unplugging it again it still shows "on charge". So i turned it off again and this time it showed the battery loading screen, but I can turn it on this time....
Suggestions ?
the phone is working fine now but i smell a major hardware fault....
Sounds like what I had recently.
It started by simply smoking out the USB connector when I plugged the phone in to charge, then it displayed similar symptoms: did not accept charge from the wall wart, the USB-cable worked, but no data transfer was possible. It did show as charging, but the charge animation continued even when I unplugged the phone from the USB, so I assumed it was bogus.
When turned off, it reacted to the AC charger similarly: battery displayed, then the displayed stayed on when I unplugged it.
The repair shop accepted it under warranty, and fixed it, but the repair slip was left unfilled, so I'll never know what they actually did and what the diagnosis was. All I know is that the motherboard was not swapped out, as I retained all my data.
check with Samsung, if you're still under warranty!

Clean the usb port with a dry tooth brush and some compressed air mine does this from time to time as well as others. Also I believe ics has a small charge animation bug or something like that

I've done some cleaning (man, the USB was dirty as hell !), now everything is working fine again except for one thing
when i turn off the phone, it shows the "in charge" icon for about 10 seconds, then it disappears...
could it be an ICS bug ? i'll be relieved if it's just a software bug...

Bad News,
i'm back at square one....
The phone is still showing "on charge" even when unplugged...
And now when i plug the charger in , the phone charghes to 100% in about 5 minutes....
Obviously it goes from 100% to a normal level in a matter of minutes...
I hope it's a battery issue and not a USB fault... gonna try a new battery in the next few days...
Anyone come across this? I put it on standby last night after reading a bit of my book on it, and it had around 50% power remaining. This morning, it was totally unresponsive; pressing the power button does nothing at all. I've charged it for 12 hours in the meantime.
I've done the following all with and without the power attached:
- Pressed and held power for 15 seconds through to a minute
- Pressed and held volume up with power to attempt to get into recovery for up to a minute
- Pressed and held volume down with powerfor up to a minute
- Pressed and held power while touching screen (read that one off another forum)
I guess potentially it could be on and in a crashed state and unresponsive to the power, so maybe in a weeks time when it runs out of juice, I'll be able to charge it and power it back up, but in the meantime, I'd welcome suggestions.
A few weeks ago I updated it to the official ICS build that was released, but did the update myself rather than using KIES, as KIES didn't even recognise my Tab's firmware original version. It's been absolutely fine before the update, and since. I only mention it because I've read about the Samsung build of ICS being prone to self bricking itself, but I couldn't determine what the symptoms of this vulnerability were.
Thanks for any help offered,
Will
did you try connecting USB cable and plugging it into your PC? did u get any activity? can ADB recognize your tab?
I think your tab just ran out of juice and the battery's protection circuit has kicked in. Try taking it to an electronic shop and plugging in different chargers preferably one with an output more than 2.1 amps to kickstart the charging. Plug it in and wait till the charging animation starts.

Had the same problem while on holidays. Once the battery goes below a certain level, you won't be able to charge it through USB any more. Instead you need to use the wall charger.
I think it's bad enough that the 7.7 doesn't have a micro USB port, but things like that are just stupid and Samsung made a big mistake here. It don't think it's the same with the newer tablets though. It's also not possible to just buy cables or chargers for this strange Samsung port, so when you forget your wall charger at home at some point you won't be able to use your tablet any more.
As long as you charge with the USB cable early enough, you can avoid it though.
A few months ago I experienced the same thing, the Tab just wouldn't turn on anymore.
I tried all there is without any luck.
Contacted amazon and they replaced it with a new one in less than 48 hours.
So far not Problems with the new device.
I have the P6800 and this morning I took it off charge. Put it into standby and only used it for about 20 mins then left in standby all day. It had about 95% remaining when I did so.
Picked it up this evening and the lower left area of the screen was warm and it would not switch on. Didn't think of the ADB idea but will try this next time but I had to reset it and when it powered on tonight after the reset, it was down to 15%. Within about 2 mins of checking stuff it was down to 3%.
Something is running when it is in standby but as I can't switch it on I can't check with BetterBatteryStats or CPUState to know what is wrong.
It does this every day. I am tempted to do a factory reset and reinstall only limited software.

I see this thread is a little old but this has just happened to my P6810 too. A pity nobody reported back what the end result was.
My device had at least 95% battery last night but today I can't get it to respond at all, I've tried the wall charger and still nothing.
Anything else someone could suggest for me?
Edit. I tried getting anything from it connected to my PC but it couldn't find a device there. However I then tried it on the wall charger again and now get a blue battery icon, quite big, with a five step animation indicating that it is charging.
No idea how it went flat as the battery on this lasts a long time assuming the screen isn't on. When it boots properly I'll have a look at what the most recent apps I installed were as it has only done this once. Before this it has been perfect for the three weeks I've had it.

This is the infamous Sleep-Of-Death issue that is randomly experienced by myself and other users here, usually happens when WiFi bugs out due to weak signal

hhmmm, interesting.
I was having trouble with wifi just before this happened. Both my GS2 and this have been claiming to connect to my wifi but aren't actually getting an IP address from it.
I can't remember if it was last night or the night before but I manually set an IP address, the signal strength is fine as my abode isn't very big.
After it has recharged I'll have a poke and see what I can find, thanks for the reply.
So my device seems to be working fine again. It had gone SO flat that the date and time were incorrect!
After I could power it on I had a look at Better Battery Stats and nothing looked wrong so I have no idea what happened. None of the apps I'd installed the day before it played up had long wakelocks and weren't running when I turned it off.
For reference they were:
My Tracks
MyTrails
Google Earth
AndSMB
I'd turned both of the GPS tracking devices off before I turned it off for the night.
It hasn't played up since but it hasn't been long so I'll see what happens.
Yeah, the sleep of death is incredibly annoying. Honestly, the GTab 7.7 is a **** device. Samsung made way too many mistakes and won't do anything to fix it.
A similar thing happens to me every once in awhile. The way i check to make sure everything alright is to see if it boots into download mode. I just leave it plugged in for a couple hours and it eventually comes back on.

this is why my 7.7 is the last tablet/phone from Samsung i'll never trust them they are just bombarding the market with new devices and leaving the old ones to dust
^thats what I thought too but that gs4 is really tempting. I've heard worse about HTC in that regard anyways so that why I'm not going with the one.
Finally.. i bought Sony xperia Z.
I'll sell my galaxy tab 7.7. I.m very disappointed with samsung.

Unbelievable! ... this trick still works ... thank you very much for you help ...
^^ yo, this 'trickle charge' trick did NOT work on my (long) dead P6800... any other suggestions??
Quite strange because my Samsung GT-P6800 tablet was fully charged, it went completely blank dark as if it was off. To my amazement, SMS keeps dropping and calls kept coming in. Yet it is still as blank as though the tab was off. I pressed the power button and the volume up bottom for it to reboot. It rebooted without the screen coming up. It has been blank for two days now. What could be the cause? And what possible solution can be given?
Hi everyone,
I have several problems with my AT&T 8X. First, the screen keeps on cycling through the brightness level non stop, so its constantly changing the brightness. I've tried to turn off the auto-brightness but that doesnt seem to help and this only happen after the phone booted up and I touch the screen so Im thinking it's a software issue. ANother one is that when the phone is one, the computer wont recognize the phone and it won't charge, both AC and PC charging. To charge the phone I would have to power it off and plug it in. It wouldn;t have been so bad if it wasnt for the fact that whenever the phone is power on again, there's a high chance that it will boot loop and I'll have to do a hard reset to fix it. All of these looks to be software problem to me. Hard reset doesnt seem to fix them though, does anyone has any idea?

Never faced any such problem till now Try visiting htc service centre Or try draining the battery completely and charge it completely before using Sometimes solves my screen related issues

I actually did drain the battery and charge it up again. I had to remove the screen though since it wont charge keep keep boot loop every 3 seconds. so I had to take out the screen and charge the battery separately by manually hook up the wires to it. And htc service center is no longer an option since it is no longer under warranty, which is why I opened it up in the first place lol.

You'd taken out the battery?? Thats a really hard work!! Battery is hidden inside right? and we'll have to remove everything just to reach the battery!! Did you do it on your own? I'd actually heard removing battery is very dangerous and we should be very careful since it's behind the screen and the connecting wires are too thin :silly:
If you take off the screen, there's a cable that connect the screen and the components to the battery, all you have to do is unclip the cable and hook the wire to the battery correctly (positive and negative side) and just plug it in to charge for 30 mins. Since the phone won't turn on, the battery left to be charged fully rather than keeping going into bootloop.
You don't actually have to remove the battery, just need to separate the screen from the back.
