I have a galaxy s2 skyrocket on h2o wireless and it keeps getting into a boot loop every hour or so, sometimes 2 times in twenty minutes. And every time it goes into the loop i have to wipe the data from it and reboot it. So is there anyway that I can fix this?

I don't know what caused the problem but i have a hunch that it might have to do w/ the fact that i have a spare battery and sometimes i switch the batteries without powering down the phone.

Any help is appreciated.
 
One cause of a boot loop is corrupted data, and fixing it by wiping data points to that problem with yours. The memory in the phone could be going bad, getting corrupted every once in a while, causing the problem. I don't think this is something you can fix by yourself (it sounds as if it needs a new motherboard).

Do you know how i can get this fixed and how much it would cost?
 
Also do you think it may be caused by a corrupt file? Because I know that after I clear the memory all my songs/pics/other files are still on the phone should i just completely format the phone?
