[Q] My GS2 won't turn on

---

It was working fine before I went to bed last night, then I let it charge for the night since that battery was at about 4%, But this morning it won't turn on at all. The battery feels warm as if its been charging but nothing seems to be making it turn on. Any ideas?

If it was my phone here is what I would do.

First I would see if the phone charges the battery by putting the battery into
the phone and plug the usb cable from phone into the wall charger or into
the computer.

If the display on phone shows a picture of a battery charging let it charge
for an hour more or less and try turning on the phone.

If the phone is not charging the battery I would purchase a cheapy battery
charger and battery combo on eBay.

You can find this combo on eBay for less than $8 bucks shipped for both the battery and charger:

(even if you decide to return and exchange the phone its still a good thing to have a spare battery and charger)

Check it out.
Good Luck!

are you on cm7? not sure about the s2 (never had the issue), but i know that on the infuse, there was a problem (or maybe it was intentional) with low power charging mode (phone wouldn't charge when off).

i think this can be solved by trying to charge the phone via your computer usb, as opposed to your OEM wall charger.

Thanks for the suggestion. It definitely isn't showing the picture of the battery when its plugged in to the wall or the computer. I'm debating the battery charger combo you linked.

I actually am. But I have it plugged to my computer and nothings changed.

Time for some trouble shooting.

Start eliminating possibilities. You need to determine where the problem is.

From what you say, it seems possible that the battery is completely discharged but not recharging. That could be a bad battery or it could be the phone.

If you know someone else with an SGS II, try inserting their battery temporarily to see if your phone will boot. If you don't know someone else, maybe you can borrow a charged battery from the store where you bought it.

Continue on until you pinpoint the problem.

Do NOT buy a "cheapie" battery for your SGS2. Unless you want to eisk causing damage. The stock battery for the SGS2 has NFC technology built into it. Using anything other than OEM could cause damage/performance issues to your phone, and void the warranty.

Have goh tried a battery pull? Unplug the phone, pull the battery and let sit for a few minutes to allow tbe IC's to discharge. Put battery back in and try powering up the device. Good luck.
