Anybody having similar problems with their g1 freezing and than turning off, than having to take out the battery to turn it back on? I've done this like 8 times in 1 week and at times it doesn't even turn on and i have to wait a whole day...
I think i might be ready to retire this phone
Replace the Battery and see what happens

Is you phone rooted and running a custom ROM? Might just need a reflash. Otherwise that sounds like a hardware failure (in either the phone or the battery).
my phone isn't rooted or running a custom rom, and yeah i think i might get my battery replaced, but might try a hard reset first...if i'm capable of doing so
now my stupid phone isn't even turning on and i can't even do hard reset...
damn there goes gas to drive over to a t-mobile store -__-

Hi,
A few days ago I upgraded my Note from a very ancient (stock) Gingerbread ROM to (stock) Jellybean. I hadn't been getting OTA updates because the Gingerbread was originally German rather than UK, so quite a long time had passed without any updates. Anyway, because of the no OTA, I used Odin. Everything went fine and I had a nice few days of usage, although the battery consumption seemed to suddenly be quite high, mainly due to additional wakelocks from the new Google Search it looked like. The night before last at about 3% the phone turned itself off, which is unusual as normally the battery will run itself lower than that. BTW, it's an official battery bought just a few months ago to replace the one before, which was getting old.
Yesterday evening when I went to use the phone it was dead. Completely unresponsive. It wouldn't charge either. (The battery had been at about fourteen percent I think, so it should have still had a lot of juice left.) Turning it on would leave it stuck on the Samsung logo only. Recovery mode didn't work, but I could get download mode up, so I installed the Philz kernel as people have said, and then did a reset using that, and all was okay again and after reflashing the ROM I could use the phone again, although because of the reset I had to set everything up again.
Just wondering what people think caused it. Just a weird coincidence, or something else? As far as I'm concerned, the problem has been sort of mitigated for now, but definitely not fixed, because what's to stop it happening again? Has anyone heard of strange things going on with Jellybean? I know there's an issue with flashing/resetting from ICS, but I never used that so I don't think that's an issue, and it looks like it was just a soft brick only. Still, a bit weird and worrying. Does anyone have any ideas?
That was caused by an unexpected shutdown of your phone - if you remove the battery without it fully turning off then you will get it and yeah, blame samsung.
The only way not to have it again is to flash philz kernel with the bootloop fix BEFORE you get the bootloop. Alternativly, if you get it again then you can try what is in this post:

I didn't take the battery out though. It was low but not dead.
Since then it has happened once again, a few days ago, this time at 93% full. I was doing nothing at all taxing to the phone. I was just in a shop listening to an mp3 with the screen off, and then it stopped and the next thing I saw was the bootloop. Luckily (thanks to the new kernel?) I could just delete cache/dalvik and be back up and running again without having to reinstall everything. Today my screen temporarily went a weird purple colour like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216867 . Sounds like it's just dying in general really, rather than anything else. My phone contract upgrade date is in two days. Purely a coincidence of course. Weird how phones tend to last about the length of a mobile phone contract. Until then I'm just running on power saving mode and hoping for the best.
Anyone else having extreme battery drain issues?
Just started out of nowhere. I woke up, checked my phone as usual.. it was cool when I picked it up, but after 5 minutes on it, it started getting hot.
Battery is draining 20-30 in 15 minutes.. I've wiped the phone and installed a fresh ROM, both AOSP, and Sense-based. If I take it off the charger it will drain and die. I've had this happen to a previous HTC One.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It doesn't make much sense to me.. if I wipe the phone, and all it has is a bootloader and recovery, what could the problem be? I wipe the phone and turn it off, and it still gets hotter and hotter. I'm barely keeping it alive on the charger.. I can manage flashing a ROM, et.c. but if I leave anywhere with my phone and use it.. it will be dead in an hour I feel. Then it will be a brick.
Anyone?
I've tried the PWR Volume +/- too..

Batterycell problem, assuming you've always used the original charger that came with the phone?
Anyways it sounds like a warranty issue. I would return the software to stock and deliver it back saying it's always been like this. You should get a new.
Whatever you do, turn it off at night. Assuming the cells are unstable, it may actually overheat and explode. I wouldn't want to be asleep at that time if I were you...

Ugh.. this is already my 4th One in 3 months. Tired of this problem.
I'm probably going to request a different model of phone. Too many problems here.
Thanks...
Feel for you bro... I've fortunately never had any problems with mine, nor have my friends with their One's.
Well, sounds pretty bad, sorry for you
But i would sent it back (again) and make some pressure and tell them you want a fully functionally phone already! I dont know what i would do, i'm fine with mine ('knocking on the table*) but if had such issues and already had THREE phones because of issues i would go enrage lol.
Have had issues with a new laptop the first one had heating problems with graphic processor, so i sent it back, made some pressure and got a new one which is fine now
What i will say, always make a little pressure and don't say "okay" to everything you will get
Hi Guys, I really would like to ask some help with my Nexus 6 in which the battery drains to fast and some message always appearing once I try tuning it on back again.
It all started just last week when i noticed that my battery drains to fast, in which lets say the battery has still 70% of power then when Im about to using, the fone will immediately turn off saying the battery is already 0%. But once I try to charge it, it'll be showing that the battery has still 70% of power. Aside from that, every time Im about to turn it on after the knowing that my phone has still enough battery or once I tried to plug the adaptor. A message will appear stating that "Apps updating 15 of 135" something...
I've tried to reset my phone hoping that something that I've downloaded probably have cause my phone to malfunction, but still no use. The battery is draining too fast and that updating of apps is still showing and it'll take atleast 4X I need to turn on my phone with the charger plugin in order for the phone to turn on properly.
Would anyone might know whats the problem or whats causing my phone to malfunction in that way?

The battery is busted, the same thing happened to me. I had to send the phone back to Motorola and they sent me a refurbished one back and its having the same issue. I'm just giving up on this phone and getting the note 4

It could be updating of apps or system. In that case the message "Apps updating . . ." is normal after reboot.
When you have a slow data connection updating can take a lot of time, including battery drain.
Same problem with my n6. But only in high mountains... No restarts when in airplane mode or without sim card
Hello everyone,
few days back I handed over my bellowed mi3 to service, because I was playing a lot on it when charging, phone got really, really hot and after an hour of playing it turned off completely. It couldnt start, charge or anything. After few days, when the guy had time for my phone, he called me that everything is okay with it and that he didnt have any problem using it, so I can come pick it up. Now I am writing from it, everything is good so I am not sure what caused the problem in the first place.
So, was it some kind of heat protection maybe or something like that, that prevented my phone from starting, or should I be starting to look for a new phone because this one may be dying out?
I am not sure what to expect now, did anyone had this kind of issues with mi3? Thanks.
Edit: After the day of usage, phone died again. So I am thinking, bad battery?

Yes, Many people face the same problem. You can charge it again through PC/NB USB.
But it will happen again. After changing new battery, this problem can be solved.
Thanks man! I already have a new replacement battery on the way, hopefully I will get to change it today. Will update later if new battery solved it. I hope it will, would miss my Mi 3
EDIT: oh damn ... battery replaced, and after a day, the phone keeps turning off. Last resort is reflashing from factory reset, but as I had never have this problems with CM 12.1, I guess it wont be software related.
EDIT: okay, phone turned off again. It is weird, its working properly, just sometimes it turns off randomly, and after a reboot which takes really long, battery says its almost empty, even when before turning off, the battery was about 70 percent full. :/
Hi guys...Here's my problem. It may be a coincidence but after I updated to 8.7.5 my phone now randomly shuts down , I think, when it tries to go to deep sleep, and I cannot make it boot up unless I disconnect the battery. I can use it the whole day without any issues but if I leave for an hour without touching it will shutdown and will not boot up again. After disconnecting the battery and booting up again I researched the battery use and it seems that prior to shutting down there is a huge battery leak as the phone loses 20% of the battery in a matter of minutes with the screen off and afterwards shutdown. I tried different ROMs now and still nothing ..went back to stock and still the same. I'm suspecting now that it might be hardware related but why am I able to use the phone without problems and the issue comes up only after a prolonged time of being idle. I'm tech savvy and like to try all kind of solutions but now I'm at a dead end....don't know what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Try firmware MIUI_8524 as I think this one is really stable. Cross checking via Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) might be a good idea for your case . You could prevent phone going into deep sleep to check if there is still an issue.
