I am so over this phone right now.
I got the Galaxy S2 about a year and a half ago. Last month it crapped out on me. I had dropped it in the toilet summer of last year so I figured the water damage finally caught up to it. It appeared to be stuck in a boot loop and I could not fix it by wiping the data and doing a hard reset. It would vibrate and try to reboot every 3 seconds or so. I called T-Mobile and they sent me a free replacement.
Fast forward a week later. My replacement phone does the same thing! At first it rebooted itself once or twice and I shrugged it off. Then it went into the same exact dreaded boot loop like my last one. Again, hard reset doesn't work. So T-Mobile sends me ANOTHER replacement.
And now here we are a couple of weeks later, and my third S2 just rebooted and was stuck in a boot loop for two minutes, then it finally rebooted. Ten minutes later it rebooted itself again. It's on at this moment, but I fear it's about to crap out on me as well.
:banghead:
Am I just extremely unlucky or could my battery be causing this? I've had to use the same battery for each phone, as they only send you the body replacement.
I am seriously getting frustrated and sick of replacing a phone every week. I have been an Android fangirl from day one (I remember my beloved G2), but this month almost makes me want to switch to an iPhone. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
