Help Low battery temperature

[wuchoo]

Hi, this is my first post, so, hi everyone!

Basically, today I had the yellow triangle with the flashing thermometer notification on my phone when I tried to charge it. So, having snooped around, I found that a lot of people have also encountered this problem.

I read about some solutions (alcohol and bending the USB port) and so, tried them out. My Galaxy S2 now charges again, but every few minutes it will come up with the 'Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low.' notification.

I have checked the battery temperature (using *#*#4636#*#*) and it quotes that I have a -7C temperature. This seems exceptionally low and I was wondering if there was a way to boost the temperature back to a normal one.


Note: I took the battery out for about 15 minutes and when I put it back in and turned it on, the battery temperature showed 23-5C, but then after a few minutes it will revert back to -7C.


Thanks in advance for any help

Is this happening even on changing chargers? If yest then immediately take the phone and battery to a samsung service outlet.

Yes, this happens when I change chargers. The problem isn't with the charging anymore though, it's that the phone thinks that the battery temperature is -7C and therefore doesn't charge.
