Help SGS2 unusable - thinks charging cable is connected every 5s

[jboy1987]

Sorry to bother you guys again

My SGS2 seems to think that I connect the charging cable every 5s or so. Even when turend off, the screen lights up with the big battery icon (with a spinning circle inside), then it goes black again. A few seconds later the process repeats. It's practically unusable now, because when turned on it vibrates and plays the charging sound all the time.

This happened after I connected the charger at ~70%, then sat at my PC for a while then heard the subtle 'charging complete' sound. Disconnected it, then it started being really difficult.. What I have tested so far is leaving it without the battery in for ~15min. Didn't help.

Any recommendations other that factory reset or send it in for repair? Thanks to all life-savers out there

EDIT: Left it alone for an hour, put in the battery and connected the charger. Then disconnected the charger. Now seems to work fine! Sorry for being a bit hasty in posting here. Thought my phone was dead!

I have exactly the same problem. Actually putting in the charger for a few seconds can sometimes sort out the problem, but the problem often (30% of time?) starts again a few minutes later.

Hoping someone knows the solution.
Thanks,
Andy.

I had the same problem with mine, returned to Carrier for replacement, no problems since.

After the problem went away by itself it has not returned for me. If your problem persists I would get a replacement.
