I've had my S II Skyrocket for close to two years, and the past few days it's randomly been shutting off by itself and vibrating three or four times before it shuts off completely. Today it did this three times, and this past time it never stopped vibrating, so I took the battery out thinking it would stop and I could turn it back on again, but when I put the battery back in, it just started buzzing. The Samsung logo will pop up every so often, then it just goes blank again and buzzes. I'm not really sure what to do with it. :c Can anyone help?

If it is stable with the power cord connected I would get a good backup of all your data and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, do a good backup and get a new phone.
I swear that all phones are programmed to start slowing down and flaking out at about the two year mark so they get you to buy a new phone.
We will be getting rid of our two year old skyrockets fairly soon.

there is a thread on here about what sounds like your issue. sticky power button. flick the power button a bunch... run your finger back and forth across it... last resort pull it apart as per the instructions in the thread. good luck.
