My Galaxy s2 Is having really annoying problems!
First off it rotates the screen even screen rotation is off.
Secondly, It keeps telling me i am connected Via USB Device to a computer when i'm not.
Then it keeps taking me off the screens im wanting to view.
Also It just keeps opening desk clock.
Then when i do plug it into my computer, It opens voice talk, then my computer also tells me that it isn't a recgonised device.
I formatted my phone this morning, it was good for abour 5-6 hours then it begun playing up like this.
I turn the phone off, take out the battery and let it sit for a bit, Then as soon as i put the battery back in the phone turns it self on without me pressing anything...
Heres some pics I managed to get of whats happening after fighting with my phone xD
This one shows the desk clock that keeps coming up.

Really need help guys. My SGS is doing REALLY funny things...
I just got my SGS a few days ago and so far all I've been doing is installing aps on it (no messing with rooting/flashing).
Today, I was trying to get Keis to work. I reinstalled Keis and unplugged and repluggeed my phone a few times and managed to get it to recognise.
Here's the problem, now it ALWAYS says USB connected on the top left hand corner. Everything seems ok except after a few minutes of the screen turning off, I can't turn it back on again. Absolutely no activity. If I try to turn it back on immediately after it goes off, it can come back on again.
Things get weirder. If I remove my battery or turn it off, I can't turn it back on again (it flashes a loading symbol in the middle of the screen for half a second then nothing happens). To turn it back on, I have to plug it in and wait for the charging screen to come on. THEN it comes on.
I've tried doing a factory reset but nothing changed... Is there a hardware fault? Perhaps flashing will solve the problem?
ps. When it's off, I can enter download mode but not recovery more unless I plug it in...
Sounds like a hardware problem on phone, But I beleive its more of a Grounding problem with your usb. Can you try it with another port or computer? Also does your pc/laptop have a grounding pin for its power supply? I noticed I get odd power spikes when I travel to asia as their power is not always good. You can always buy a surge protector for your computer and one for your samsung charger. Other then that see if you can get new KIEs (I Don't EVER use it as its crap and never reconizes my phone)
Also if you want to kick up a storm, get the thing replaced as it sounds like a phone hardware problem as it should not crash when you take battery out. Could be battery but better to change the whole thing.
Try activating USB DEBUG in settings. Check the option and restart.
It should solve the problem. You can UNCHECK again the option and the phone should work also without USB debug activated
It will happen again, it seem to me a problem with some USB port, or some cables, activating a *waiting for USB* option BEFORE the ROM loading
Thanks
Thanks for the advice guys. Last night it suddenly started behaving itself after the 10th or so hard reset *phew*
Very strange problem and I think I will stay well clear of Kies from now on... Samsung make a good phone but lousy software...

Hello! First time posting.. would appreciate any help in regards to this issue.
My boyfriend has the Sony Xperia Z1, he happened to drop it into a big bucket of grease. The camera and the speakers immediately stopped working, and the screen had a grease stain embedded somehow. The phone stopped being able to hold a charge and was no longer able to be kept powered on for more than 10 seconds after reboot.
He did get a new phone but wanted to get he content off of his old one, but since it cant stay powered on it wont allow windows to recognize the phone. Is there anyway I can somehow access the phones files without it powering on?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry guys if this mentioned before but my dad brought his i8200 to me last night saying phone went to a black screen a while ago. Let me explain the situation;
Phone boots up, works, if I put my sim card on it, I can call myself however during this whole time phone screen is black and unresponsive.
I tried to flashing official firmware via odin which didnt help. I dont know if it is related but when I connect phone via usb cable to pc I see it is popping up in "my computer" tab but I cant look into it because it is locked. However at the same time odin recognizes the phone which seem odd to me. Any help would make my old pal happy.
I know it is a fairly late reply, but have you tried opening the phone up to check the connector and cable going to the screen?
I am in a similar position, but our S3mini is even less alive. So I just opened it up today. I used this site with the remark that the speaker (the one that is against your ear when making a call) is held by stickytape so needs very careful prying loose to prevent the flatcable from being damaged.
*Hey guys!
So I'm switching over to using a GT-I9000 for a few weeks, while my 1+3T arrives. To ease my pain, I formatted this phone (after God knows how long it's not been used), and tried flashing a few ROMs.
While doing so, I noticed something really strange: When I plug the phone in to charge (or to my PC for that matter), the screen thinks I'm constantly holding one of my fingers on the screen, thus making it unresponsive to touch while plugged in. As soon as I disconnect the phone, the screen starts working fine again.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?*
Okay, nevermind, found out the cause, please delete the thread.
Hello everybody,
I'm not an expert in android or any other phone software, that's why I kindly ask you for help.
Trying to install an air company application from Play store on my desire 500, I got a message saying there is no enough memory to install it. The phone froze with this screen without any reaction on touching, sweeping etc. The only thing I could do was to restart it. After initial screen and entering SIM card PIN code the home screen appeared and began blinking at uneven periods of 0.5 - 1 s. It wasn't possible to control it in any way. Yet, the phone became hot and quickly drained the battery. I removed the battery, put it back, charged it and turned on the phone - it showed the same behavior. After 200 attempts I managed to unlock the screen and to make it operative. Didn't find anything suspicious except that it's hot, takes more current than the charger could supply (battery diagram goes down although charging is on) and reacts very slowly on touching and sweeping. When connected to computer HTC sync manager starts automatically but doesn't establish connection (No phone connected). After expiring wake time and the screen gets black and power button is pressed, the same blinking appears.
I made a hard reset (luckily I have a backup) but nothing changed even the phone is now completely naked, as came from the shop, without additional apps, files, contacts, nothing.
Please advise what could I do to solve the problem. This is my only phone and I can't afford a new one.
I could give all info I have concerning firmware, OS etc.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Emil
