Help Galaxy S2 and the Idiot. (a problem)

[Valks]

Hi, bet you get loads of new users who only join when they have a problem with their phone, which is good cos that means I'm not the first.

Heres the problem - phone is completely lifeless and when I plug the charger in all I get is " Low battery!! Can't download!! " in the top lefthand corner of the phone.

Heres how I've probably broken it - it got a little bit wet yesterday (a brief dunk), but after a drying off it seemed to be ok so I carried on using it. It recharged fine yesterday evening but this morning when I awoke it was very much a Dead Parrot.

Heres something else I did that may not have been smart - while it was working last night I decided to clean up my apps and deleted a few games I never play etc and I may have deleted Kies, which, before finding this forum, I didn't realise might not be a crap preinstalled app. Infact I'm pretty sure I did delete it.

Any suggestions how to resuscitate my S2? *

Ty in advance

Always

So when you plug in the battery you see something... I think it's just resting.

I don't know what carrier your using or what model S2 but this guide on the S2 t-mobile forum is a useful way to bring phones back to life.

Whats a carrier ?

followed the link and to be honest I dont understand a word of it.

The only info I can give you about my phone is its a Tesco Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2.

Ok, Your carrier is Tesco Mobile, they're the people you pay for phone service and you are using a Samsung Galaxy S2 (International) model phone. The t-mobile guide doesn't apply to your particular phone.

What I was trying to express by posting that guide is that there's still hope to get your phone working. I'll let the folks in the Samsung Galaxy S2 (International) - Android Forums take a shot at your issue.

I have moved this thread into the Galaxy S2 International forums so that users with your device could potentially assist you further!

Hello and welcome to Android Forums Valks!

Sorry to learn of your problems.

1. As for liquid damage, see the tried and tested method for recovery, here.

2. Regarding your Kies app, do you mean the Kies Air app which can be downloaded, here.

Hope this helps and that I have, "dummed", it down enough.
