Help I9100t overheating and cannot update

blake_21

Hi,

I have bought an s2 I9100t in Australia and ever since I've had it whenever I try and charge the battery it says 'charging paused battery either too hot or too cold.' after just a few seconds.

Even when im not charging the phone it heats up alot on the side with the power button, and obviously gets worse when plugged in. The battery runs down very quickly aswel and the only way I can charge it is to put the battery into another phone.

I have already replaced the charging port as of yesterday and it is still having the same problems. I've been trying to factory reset the phone and reinstall the firmware and modem to see if that is the problem but when I plug it into Kies it doesnt give me the option to update.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Hello and welcome to Android Forums blake_21! :)

Just a few questions to try and sort your problem out...

1. Is the phone still under warranty?

2. Is it running the original, out-of-the-box, firmware or has it been upgraded, unlocked, flashed or rooted?

3. Type into the dial pad... *#1234# and give the 4 lines of information shown there.

4. In Settings > About phone > Android version what does it show?
