i have a samsung S2 GT i9100 the phone was working great up till sunday the battery was low and it cut off i charged it and when fully charged i turned it on it came on and said battery low and cut off and has never come on since
i borrowed a battery from a friend and it still didnt turn on but my battery turned on her S2
any ideas on what could be wrong or any reputable place i could carry it to ?
Insert the battery and hold the power button at the same time. You probably have to recalibrate the battery stats.
S2 was the best phone I ever owned, I miss it.
Additionally try power, volume up and center menu button, all three together. If you get it on in recovery mode, flash a custom rom. I would say try Cyanfox for the i9100. Good luck
He would have to flash a safe kernel before he does such. Unless he was on 4.4 before.
Fellas if you need help with any Android questions etc you can also check out my YouTube channel called T3CHSMASH and feel free to hit me up with any questions
Seeing as you started the reviews on YouTube, whats your day to day device, and why? If you dont mind me asking

Of COURSE not man...my daily device was the HTC one M8 running beanstalk 4.4 kernel...until about a week ago when I upgraded to the Nexus 5...chose it over the M8 for personal reasons...But I get AMAZING performance as well as battery life..using the same beanstalk 4.4 with default kernel for that ROM..I get around 5hrs screen on time on a charge with medium use..3-4hrs screen on time with heavy use...I actually did a video on it you can check it out..what are you using?

you prefer an iphone because it just works or android that you have to tinker with to get good battery life, fix issues, etc.
yes, its more customization but you think its worth it coming from apple?
idk if i should make my next phone an iphone and done. yes i like to tinker but after a while when the novelty wears off you just want a stable working device with good battery life and reliability.
for example, ..i had to flash the sheit out my s2 till i was happy with its battery life and acceptable stability balanced with the features i want. i see you and other users here tweaking that nexus 5 to earth and back to get good battery life when the 5s does this by default.

well, this might end up in a rant but here goes.
tl;dr: I on the fence and have been for quite some time.
When I had the HOX and up to the point just before i got the N5 i was ready to jump back for that same reason. Sometimes basic functions would be glitchy. But when I got the N5, I experienced android in another light. As rod said, it's far more stable, fluid, etc. Not iOS-like eh, but good enough. What i really enjoy about android is the fact that when i leave/enter my home it automatically does things. The most i may do is turn on wifi. In iOS I'd have to dig through settings to turn off things at will. Also, share cards and file management; the way android handles them; is much better since any app really can fill the share card list and you can access files from a single area.
The reason why i flashed PA was for the customizable tiles and a few other tweaks. One day I may go back stock, may be when 4.4.3 releases and probably flash a Xposed module (GravityBox) because it will have all of the mods i use. Thing is, it's almost like a jailbroken iOS. The more crap you do, the more unstable it becomes. For instance, I'm using test kernels from Franco and off and on i get issues, thankfully it hasn't affected any important calls. If i had an iPhone, although I am limited in what can/cannot be done, it preserves the user experience, everywhere and any time. And yes, I still am missing apps eg. a pharmacy app, and apps are still ugly. I guess because i have some time still, I play around with an android phone. If i didn't have the time, I may not have. Thing is though, when i travel, I carry and use an iPhone and I still on the fence about that for this year.
and devon, don't bother comparing any device wrt sound to HTC. Don't rely on the Nexus for recording either. You'll be in for a huge disappointment.

More insight on Google’s Project Ara: build your own smartphone
April 4th, 2014, 02:15 by Mustafa 49 comments
Google’s Project Ara is well on it’s way, and big G has revealed some more information about the exciting new build-your-own-smartphone adventure.
We’ve got video released straight from Google below, after the jump. Hit it to see the cool things the Californian search engine overlord has in store.
The video seems a bit like an introductory piece of footage, but we do catch some glimpses of the modular philosophy that is behind Project Ara.
We also are able to catch a glimpse of the three different sizes in the video, Google is planning to release: the medium, phablet, and mini models. Rumor has it that the mini starts as low as $50, so tinkerers in low-income areas might have the ability to try the phone out.
That’s about all the information available on Project Ara for now. If you want to know more about Ara, you’ll just have to wait, but not for long. April 15th will see Google first Ara Developer conference, so there will be more to report then.
The implications of a modular smartphone that users are able to upgrade over time are exciting. Back to our low-income area example: if someone can’t afford to save up for a high-end smartphone, but are able to swap out parts after saving up some money at different intervals, is an intriguing prospect, and may offer people the opportunity to get their hands on higher-quality tech than if they were purchasing a smartphone incapable of easy modification.
