Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (even now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
HELP PLEASE!?
power shortage?
Has there been any kind of problems with your electric house system? that happened to me once, and it was due to a power problem at my house, it basically blew off my battery. Forget about battery pulls. Go to a store and ask them to lend you a battery for a second. If it powers on fine, it's the battery. If it doesn't i think you should get yourself a new phone, or try to get it fixed at the customer service. Sorry for the bad news man...
Nope, no problems with electricity, and neither of the 2 batteries will work!
This morning ,as a test, I tried to charge my Note 10.1 using my portable power pack. As expected it wouldn't charge while on, however it did when turned off. Problem is, now I have tried to charge from the correct charger and it wont, the red `x` remains and the unit says `discharging`, it does however charge when off. I have tried several resets and am currently charging to full to see if this solves the problem.
Any ideas as to what may have happened and is there a cure?
Thanks

Hey All,
i have a nexus 5 running android 5.1.1, which recently i have encountered some battery issues, the battery drained very fast (6-7 hours from 100% to 0%).
but then, it stopped charging the battery, no matter what i changed - nothing worked! (new cables, different chargers and so on).
yesterday i have bought a new battery and replaced the original faulty battery, but nothing is changed, the new battery won't charge.
i tried to charge it when the nexus is on or off, doesn't matter, same result...
i am very frustrated from the situation, and basically can not use the nexus any more..
one more thing, i tried also google suggestion (when the cell is off, to press power+volume buttons, and then scrolling down to shut down and inserting the charger - >didn't work for me).
i tried to upgrade to Marshmallow (6.0.1) but there is not enough battery power to allow it...
when i dial *#*#INFO#*#*, and check the battery properties,
why the temp is always -30 degrees for the two batteries?
Is it a sensor issue?
do you have any suggestion?
Thanks!
anyone?
i will really appreciate your suggestion..
Connect the phone to a Windows machine and look to see if any new devices appear in Device Manager.
Thanks for the reply.
I connected the nexus to my laptop, it was recognized and i could reach the storage, but the battery remained the same, not charging ..
So the nexus 5 appears in Windows explorer? Possible charging port problem?

well, maybe. havn't tried it so far..
have you encountered this issue of wrong temp alert of -30 degrees for other users ?
and replacing the charging port solved it?
I haven't encountered the battery temp issue.
Since the old and new battery behave the same way, there wouldn't be too many culprits which is why I mentioned the USB charging port. Has the ever been dropped? Any way you could test the batteries in another phone?
the problem was resolved!!!
finally, after so many hours trying to make it work, i encountered a thread here in XDA which explains that the sensor is located on the cable connecting the battery to the motherboard.
Apparently it was a bit loose, so i put something above the connection and put the cover tightly.
then, the temp was reasonable again and my nexus was coming back to live!

Same problem

Hey, I have the same same problem , what did you do to fix it? I've been almost a year without using my nexus because it only works when it's plugged. Can you tell me what thread did you read or the solution? Thank you
See my last post....
Anyway, The problem was at the connection port of the battery - when you remove the nexus cover, you will see that the battery is connected by a connector with 9-10 pins to the board. Apparently those pins weren't connected properly and were loose, so I put something from above to make some pressure on the connector, then screw back everything and close the cover. Since then, my nexus is working great!
I hope it will work the same for you...
Hi all, my Gear S2 stops charging and it is showinga triangle icon with thermometer. What is causing this problem. Does the battery dies?
Might be a heating issue? I have never heard of that before tho. Have you tried charging it again? Please update on the issue. Thanks
I have rest the watch for 2 days without any activities, and charge it again. But now the screen has gone crazy, it keeps flickering white and black.
Hello guys!! So i just bought a Galaxy Gear S2 Sport (bluetooth only), and well, it obviously gets warm while charging as any other device, but what puzzles me is that, after charging overnight, when the watch is already 100 after a few hours, it keeps being warm while in the craddle. Is this normal? I can't find any info about it :/
I just recently got a gear s2 as well, and have noticed the same thing.
I played around with few things, and found, at least in my testing, using a wall charger of 1amp or less seemed to help with the heating up.
Also, turning on the "do not disturb" setting before placing it on the charger also helped a bit, as it prevented the screen from automatically turning on when it sensed something (vibration maybe?). All I know is it would turn the screen on whenever anyone got close to watch)
It didn't go away completely, but it was less. Maybe it had something to do with the wireless charging system?
