Hello
Yes yes i know i'm a noob, and i'm hated.. and i hate myself :/ lol but right now I need help! I've searched EVERYWHERE and was unable to find the solution soo...
I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version
If you need any other information, let me know and i'll post it... But PLEASE help me.
I'm desperate here
I hope you've told the mods to remove your duplicate post ?

Which ROM and Kernel are you using?
Android is like Linux, so low ram=wasted resources. High ram is natural. Likely it is your rom or kernel that is to blame. You could also do a factory reset to see if it fixes it. Also, if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, it is the same as a battery pull, so you don't need to take the back (or case if you have one) off.

Hi I have bought vibrant from ebay and using it for about week now
and it has serious battery problem
first of all
right now i am using official updated 2.2
but even before updating there was battery problem so it;s not 2.2 for sure
so i downloaded app called battery minder which gives me % and how many minutes left on my phone
so here is the problem comes when i fully charge my phone
no wifi, no blue tooth, no gps, data turned on it shows i have about like 6 hrs
and when i turn my wifi on and when it;s connected it says i have 18 hrs or something
and when i just turn my bluetooth on without wifi it gives me like 1 more hr from 6 hr so about 7 or 8
and when i make my phone to airplane mode it gives me 22 hrs or something
and the minutes showing on there it;s pretty accruate
so is there way to fix it? and even if there is way to fix it airplane mode and 22hrs i think that's way too little
or is that supposed to be
i don;t know how other ppls battery is so that's why i am posting here
please please help me
i love the phone but battery is just not right
and my point of view right now i do not think it;s the battery because when i turn my bluetooth on it gives me more hrs...
so please help me
i think longest i used in one day is like 8-9 hrs
when i didn;t really do anything with my phone...
maybe i played with it for like 1 hr maximum...
that's maximum usually 6 hrs or 5...
please please help
oh and i tried pulling my battery out and everything...
factory reset...
one last question if it is the battery if i change my battery get it from ebay or something which one should i get if i get those cheap ebay batteries will it damage my phone?
please help thank you so much
If you don't use battery minder how long does the phone last with a full charge. Sorry but I can understand everything you said with the run on sentences.

In other words don't go by what that app is telling you. Also root tour phone and try a custom rom. They all have great battery life from my experiences.

before i updated my phone to 2.2 i had rooted phone with lag fix and i had horrible battery life that time too
even though i didn;t not had battery minder
it was draining really fast
You need to charge your phone completely will oyster off. After about 2 hours after its at 100% boot into cwm or recovery and flash a new rom like Bionix-V. It almost sounds like whoever you bought the phone from fiddled with it and so the battery stats are messed up.

Typo. I meant charge it while it is off.

to flash new rom don;t i have to root my phone?
is there way to do this thing without any rooting
because one click root does not work on official 2.2...
and i am kind of noob only been using the phone for week now
thank you so much
Nope, you need to root to flash. I'm pretty sure there is some way to root the 2.2 update, but I don't know for sure since the last time I rooted was two months ago on vanilla 2.1 I'd search the forums and if not, Google is also useful.

i tried google doesn;t really help even if i found it i am too noob to do things....
if i factory reset my phone will i go back to 2.1 or still stay on 2.2?
... is there anyway you can help easily... i am so worried...
i don't want to return the phone...
I know i am asking too much
if you have time is it possible for you to help me by msn or something
step by step?.....

hey you told me that you are going to help me
can you help me please?
hi fellow mates at xda. i got myself this superb phone a month ago and i must say this is a very good phone compared to the iphone 4.However, i have some questions for you guys and hope you would help me.
First,when i played pes 2011 for 10 mins, the phone get really hot. Its very unbearable and is this normal? If its normal, is there a work around?
Second, my battery finish very fast with less than 6 hours of usage. Again is there a work around for this problem?
Thirdly, sometimes my phone rebooted itself for 6 times before stopping. Why is this so?
Lastly, how do i install software version 2.3.4 to my phone? does it eat up more battery? I wanna have stock rom for now. If there are any roms which save battery, do inform me and teach me how to install.
And to add on, my phone is KF1 with stock rom and its rooted. using launcer pro. Hope all of this helps. Pls be patient wth me. Thanks in advance for answering the questions
1- Phone will be hot if you play games for long time, and when you charge your phone. It's very normal.
2- Check under battery usage graph whats your screen time is, if it's around 5-5.5 hours than you are very fine. You can continuously use the device for that time and battery could be drained completely in 6 hours or even less.
3- Can't say about reboot issue, never had once.
4- Connect your phone to Kies, if there is a 2.3.4 update you will be notified. It will fix some issues. No way battery backup will be worse if not better.
I don't believe a Custom ROM could save battery juice. Never use one. Alternatively, I'd suggest you to root your device, install Titanium Backup Pro and freeze the unnecessary apps which you can see in app Better Battery Stats.

I don't know, it's not a problem, so I think no fix is needed.

You must remember that the S2 is a 1.2ghz dual core phone, thinner than a Mrs Fields cookie, and with no fan to keep it cool. It will get hot... My brother's 1.4ghz Sony Vaio BURNS when he plays games, and so does my Macbook Pro when doing task intensive duties.
any link for better battery stats? cant seem to download from original post. My phone is rooted but now i cant connect to KIES. KIES said "Reconnect the device in samsung kies (pc studio) mode.Current connection not supported by kies." what should i do to connect to kies?
There's a billion links for everything. If you got a problem I can guarantee that one of the other 400 MILLION users that have been here forever have not only had your problem. But found the fix and gladly shared it. You see, there's this thing...its called a SEARCH box. Usually located in the upper right hand corner of the front page of XDA. Its an amazing thing that SEARCH button. You should check it out.....

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

Putting generic/non-descriptive titles, especially silly ones like "Urgent help" do not make people help any more quickly and in fact will slow down help because many people simply ignore topics that are not titled correctly.
Also, This topic has been discussed MANY, MANY, MANY times over so you have no need to create a duplicate topic and then sit there and wait for answers when you can help yourself by looking and reading.
If your phone has simply died and wont turn on then its dead and you will need to replace/repair hardware. In the very least try a new battery.
Have you tried download or recovery mode or a USB jig??
Also it would help if you were honest because diagnosis/fix may be more relevant, have you tried flashing something to your device?
And everyone here should stop whatever else they're doing to 'urgently help' you why exactly ?
I don't see why this is urgent at all.
