Hello there! My phone is in serious need of help...and I must find out....is a new phone what I ask for for Christmas???
Back in May I had saved $300 (never again) and bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 through Straighttalk. This past month or so, however, its been showing the infamous yellow triangle and temperature gauge. It has NEVER gotten wet. I have been trying every solution on these forums (I think). Here is what I've tried.
*Bought a new Samsung battery
*Factory reset
*Cleared cache partition.
*Tried various chargers (including the one that came with it) and outlets
*Cleaned where charger plugs into phone
Unfortunately none of these have worked...Naturally since I've already spent 300 on it, I want to try EVERYTHING I can before I buy a new phone.
My phone has no problem turning on or off. If its off and I plug it in, it'll charge for a couple of seconds, but then stop charging and show the exclamation point inside of yellow triangle with thermometer. In order to get it charged enough to turn it on, I have to unplug it when the symbol shows up and immediately plug it back in. When its turned on, its pretty much the same thing. Charges for a couple seconds, says batt is too hot or cold, I unplug and plug it back into charger. It shows the message at least twice a minute, so you can imagine how irritating it is to charge phone. I haven't been able to get battery fully charged since this started happening. It takes two hours to get to a whopping 23% with this process....
Please, if anyone knows of anything I can do myself to fix it, share share share!! ANY ideas are welcome...
