Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 has decided to not charge anymore as of yesterday but only when the phone is powered on. If I attempt to charge it when powered on it will indicate that it is charging but will instead discharge and the back cover gets very hot. The phone does normally get warm if the wifi is in use but this was a lot hotter and i've avoided having the wifi on at all.
I've tried charging it from 30% but it instead drains, tried from a fully drained battery but it doesn't charge. So, switching the phone off allowed me to charge it using the mains charger and USB lead but I still can't get it to charge when the phone is powered on.
I do have some battery apps that have been working well for the last 8 months and these have now been uninstalled in case they're causing the problem.
The CPU seems to be moderate to idle after downloading and checking with Android Assistant, so there's nothing hogging the phone and the problem still exists.
I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 release in April and have an unbranded Galaxy S2.
Does anybody have any advice?
TIA,
P
