Hi,

Im having this issue with my samsung note 2. I've had it for awhile now and dont want to give up on it just yet. It just stopped working on me a month ago and i've looked up other posts but nothing seems to help.

I noticed the day it started doing this I was skyping with my sister and i felt the back of the phone heating up abit so just as i was about to end the call the phone shut off and was stuck in a boot loop when i wanted to switch it on again. I decided to take the case off and let it cool down before trying to switch it on again. After a few hours I tried switching it on and it was still stuck in the boot loop. I took the battery out, reinserted it but still stuck on boot loop. Then i noticed if i plugged in the charger it would switch on and work fine. Once the battery got to 100% i unplugged it and noticed that it would stay on for 2 seconds, the network would drop out completely and right after the phone just goes blank, and then goes back into the boot loop.

Thinking that maybe it was a battery issue... i purchased a new one off ebay and it worked for half the day before it started doing the same thing again. Now the only way i can use my phone is to leave it plugged in with the charger. I got no clue what else i can try so any ideas would be really helpful.

If not i might need to say goodbye to this phone :(

Thanks in advance for the help :)
 
Thanks for your help. I was wanting to know if there was a way i could use my phone without it having to be on charge 24/7. Because seconds after i unplug it from the charger (100% fully charged according to the phone), the phone shuts off. But il try look into the wireless charging technology to see if it might help.
