[Q] My at&t GALAXY S2 SGH-I777 AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES OFF!

[anshul_ahuja]

Hello guys.. I need your urgent help regarding the problem i am facing with my s2 sgh-i777.

My issue is that the phone takes a hell lot of tym to charge and it drains battery at a speed of 2%/min on average.. It is too frustating.
The phone also gets switched off on its own when the battery reaches around 40% (typically 37-38%
Well i have a EB-F1A2GBU battery installed in my phone. But some people say that its not the perfect battery for my sgh-i777. According to them it must be EB-L1A2GBA model. So please help me to find out if all this is happening due to this different battery model or it is the fault of my phone. So that i can troubleshoot it more effectively and efficiently.

My phone is running on 2.3.6 android and its not rooted!
The phone is imported and i'm using it here in india.
So its easy to understand that not much professional help is available here for this model.

Please let me know what you guys think as its gonna help me a lot!
Thankyou.

The original stock battery out of my phone is EB-L1A2GBA. It's two years old now and losing capacity, so I purchased a replacement from ebay. The replacement was inexpensive, US $3.75. The seller ships internationally for US $1.75 extra postage. It does not have a part number on the label, but is labeled as a replacement for the I-777 at 3.7VDC, 2200mAh. I've only had it a few days, but it seems to work normally. Maybe you could purchase this, or something similar an try it to see if that is your problem.

Yes, sorry. They list international shipment available on the ebay offer sheet, but refuse to ship internationally.

I guess you'll have to search to find someone that will ship to you there. Good luck.

Look on ebay.in for a battery. Idk what is good in India as the rupees are different from the ones in Pakistan. Good luck!

not available even there!

Thanks @azeem40, but this model's standard 1650mAh battery isn't available on ebay.in also

I bought a newEB-F1A2GBU battery again yesterday just to see whether this new battery works out for me or not.. Ans surprisingly it dint turn off my phone at 37-38% but as soon as i connected my charger with the phonr, the phone turned off and gave me unlimited number of boots showing battery cycle rotating and disappearing!

I have also checked amazon.in but they also dont offer the oem battery. They sell extended batteries of 3650mAh for my model but they are just too expensive. It costs 3000rs,which isnt affordable!

Now if i dont get a L1A2GBA battery, i'll have to sell my phone out!

How is it not compatible? It is 3.7V and says i777 in the description?

 

[anshul_ahuja]

ya i know that but its not right!

Ya its says so but the actual battrry for i777 is EB-L1A2GBA. It is slightly different from this EB-F1A2GBU model.

My phone Reboots again and again while charging on inserting this F1A2GBU battery.

thankks

[creepyncrawly]

If the battery is compatible with the I777, maybe the problem is not the battery? Do you know anyone with an I777 so you can try their known good battery as a test, or try your EB-F1A2GBU model battery in their phone to see what happens?

 

[anshul_ahuja]

not possible buddy

Yeah this idea striked even my mind but my bad luck, none of my friend or relative has sgh i777 phone.. Everyone has an indian model of s2 i.e I9100

It doesn't matter. It will still work with your phone. That is just the model number of the battery, and it doesn't determine compatibility in this case.

Ya bro but if i keepnusing this battery then it shuts down my phone when it reaches around 30-40%. And if i buy new EB-F1A2GBU battery then it reboots again and again while charging. It gets into a continuos boot loop.
Now i guess i'll have to either adjust up with this problem or sellnout the phone at a cheaper rate!
