Battery Problem

My phone suddenly just shuts down when I'm using it... not a "powering off" but just out of nowhere turns off
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I've had this same issue before, so I bought a new battery last month and it worked great until just last week...
I've tried resetting the battery stats....nothing....
The battery still fully charges and shows the correct percentage when I plug in the charger to use...
Could it be the ROM or battery issue?
....I'm currently using cannon's rom... 2.2.1
Anyone know how to fix?..... thanks

Something to take note, What are you doing when it does this?
-Surfing net on the phone
-Listening to music
-Charging
-Tethering
Keeping in mind that the phone will shut its self down (it should) if your battery starts to over heat. On my Hero the charge light flashes before it shuts down and it gets really hot to the touch. Also at higher heat temps, overall battery life suffers.

my phones shuts down usually when wifi is on and im sirfing or using youtube app or google maps(every time i use wifi for a while this happens...)
it also shuts down rarely on calls and sometimes when im trying to flash a new rom...
it doesnt powers on until i connect it on AC...
I REALLY NEED HELP...
ps:if i change the battery will my problem been solved?

it turns off randomly...even when im just browsing through the home screens... a full charge will last me like 5 minutes max.... no matter what im doing an the battery doesnt overheat at all...
and when i plug it in to the charger, it shows the correct percentage.. well at least an estimate of what it could be (for about 5 min of use before shut down= 95%)

I have the same problem, It is extremely frustrating.
The shutdowns would happen randomly during surfing the net or using google maps. It would shut down out of no where and it would be impossible to turn back without being plugged into a charger since the phone thinks it battery is at 0 even it was just charged to full before the shutdown. I tried to calibrate the battery but it would just shut down while I'm trying to burn through the charge with the screen on. This is the such a nuisance, can't even get through one day.
I am using biffmod 1.8 so I don't know if this is a rom related problem.

I'm havuing the exact same problem. Even with a full battery, the pgone will shut down when I do anything more than a text or two here and there. When I put it on the charger I will still have a significant amount of power left. I've tried doing full wipes and changing roms. I think it might actually be related to the radio. This began after I updated the radio. It would get stck on formatting the cache. I tried going back to the old radio, but the problem has persisted.. and it also got stuck on formatting cache...
I hope someone can help with this bc it pretty much renders the phone useless when it's not being charged. =\

try change the battery...this solve my prob

you could try recalibrating the battery.
let your phone die.
plug it in for so long that you are 100% sure that it is full.
boot to recovery wipe battery stats.
boot normal
use it and let it die.
recharge again until its full BEFORE booting it.
if you sure its full boot normal.
if you follow this cycle some times it should be fine.
Only issue: you have to wait long until its full and you always have to be near an ac

i've tried re-callibration.. guess i will have to get another battery..
i don't think it's the battery though bc others with the same problem said that the problem persisted after getting a new battery.. =\ we'll see.. thanks for the replies.

Mine has been returned for service... I too used ROCKET ROM-V20-XXLA4.
But i doubt that had anything to do with it.

I think this happened to 4-5 cases who are on Rocket ROM, have anybody noticed it?

Can you borrow a battery from someone you know and also owns a Note?
Try that battery. Then you can find out if it is a battery issue.

I believe the internal memory may be the issue. This problem has been reported with rooted and non rooted phones. I have not heard of anyone reporting this issue with the snap dragon version of this phone. As wonderful as the exynos is I think that it is the culprit for these failures. I have read that the problem persists even after a stock firmware reflash. Another thing I have noticed is that there is no way to reformat the internal memory with odin. When you select the option the odin flash will not start when attempting to revert back to stock firmware. Wiping the cache and formating internal memory from the stock recovery has also not helped. So far no one has been able to successfully restore the phone to working condition without sending it back to Samsung.

facing same problem
Hi
Did you manage to get your note fixed? If yes, how?
Please could you help me with some pointer, I am facing the same problem.

Try to borrow a full battery from fried oder neighbar. Put in your Note try to switch or bring your Note in recovery Modus. Try it wenn you are in it, cleare cache.

Pretty much why I only use roms that are damn near stock.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. = CheckRom.

Did you shut down the phone or did it run out of battery?
I posted in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26743522&postcount=24)
but I think my phone died because I had shut it down via the 15 toggle bar. It has the wanamlite rom title and when I shut it down, it doesn't even turn on anymore.
Update:
Somehow got the phone to boot using a usb external battery and now it appears to be working properly...No need for service for now.
Update #2
Dumb enough to try and replicate the problem, my note is not starting up anymore. After shutting the phone down and removing the battery (as the original reason was to access the SD card), the phone is no longer booting up anymore.
Update #3
Ok, it appears that the phone has problems when the battery is removed. My external usb charger battery seems to act like a jump start. I've noticed that the battery capacity % jumps up and down...first it was 17% then it was 91% now it's at 48%. So maybe it isn't booting up because it thinks it's 0% but when there's a bit of a charge, it starts to work. However, it didn't seem to work with the computer USB probably because it wasn't charging fast enough? The phone seems to be working for now...I hope I can reset the count before anymore problems persist.

Actually that's the problem. Only ROMS and kernels based on stock versions are dangerous. And stock ones are dangerous too.
Until now I would only recommend using ROMs and kernels based on CM9.

oh no
same symptoms but i am on stock ics 4.0.3 lpa rooted don't know what happend i am playing zynga poker and suddenly my phone switched off now it is not turning on tried everything removing battery, everything it was 27% charged please help guys:crying:

Galaxy Note GT N7000 not opening
My Galaxy Note is not opening to the main screen, the only thing that you see is SAMSUNG flashing like Christmas tree lights. I have rooted with franco kernel, CWM, ect. I haven't had it that long; I have taken everything out of it and restarted it and I have also replaced it with a new battery because initially it was getting very hot, now just the top part underneath the camera lens gets warm. I have also tried to download in odin mode and the screen just shows Andy and nothing happens for hours. I have also backed up and restored, rebooted the system itself. I thought I have done everything I could and my issues were slightly different than others on this forum. Any help would be appreciately greatly! Thanks

What Rom were you on?
If you have Cwm, you could wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
If that does not work, boot into recovery and take a backup using the backup & restore menu.
Then do a wipe data/factory reset and reboot

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.

Try ebay - you can easily find decent batteries for 5$ there.

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.

i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!

Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is
Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development

i have used TeamWin Recovery for wipe all partition becouse with hard reset don't wipe /system and internal sd.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.

If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then

Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung

i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung

In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !

Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0

Random crashes with ICS roms [i9001]

Search didnt help, and cant post on development section yet.
So my problem is with pretty much all ICS roms ive tried, but currently i am running CM9 RC3.
So my phone randomly crashes, when im listening to music with apollo and dspmanager running. sometimes it just crashes in my pocket, sometimes it crashes when some one calls me while im scrolling songs etc, sometimes it just crashes without doing anything, but the weird thing is that everytime my phone crashes, theres a 50/50 chance to boot it, sometimes it boots but battery can jump from 80% to like 14% etc..
sometimes it can jump from 80% to 0% (?) and when that happens my PIN code doesnt register and the phone will just crash in seconds.
But usually i have to take battery out, wait a sec then it usually boots but battery always drops to 4-20% and starts charging on its own..
Before installing i have done full wipe, fixed permissions, calibrated battery, used CWM 5.5.0.4, tried ODIN (no luck with that either).
I flashed Broodrom (GB) And it crashed also with same problem..
Ive tried BioHazard rom, same problem, but when i flash stock ROM, no crashes..
Pls halp
E: Forgot to add, sometimes when it crashes its stuck on bootloop until i take battery out, after that it MIGHT boot, not always. But it never crashes when on charger..

So im guessing im alone with this problem

What do you mean crash??
Does it restart or apps just ForceClose??
If it restarts, does It begin from the beginning of the boot cycle or just the boot animation??

I have the exact same problem with my i9001 since 3 weeks now. It started when flashing broodrom and now happens with any ROM (I have tried a few, cleared cache, format system, etc....). Even the battery behaviour is exactly the same as you describe..
To answer the question: the phone restarts from the Samsung boot screen. IF anybody has any clue, it would be great to hear... It's a very annoying issue I can tell you!
Thanks in advance!

Thats something you should take note: your battery is most likely dying.
I had the same exact issue: Started with the stock ROM, flashed Paranoid but it continued. Took it to service (with a stock ROM), came back re flashed and wiped. The same thing continued, no matter what ROM I was using so i figured it had to be a hardware problem.
I noticed that my battery had swollen a bit, like 1-2 mm so that I could see it easily: the battery should be flat, mine was not. Borrowed a battery from a friends I9001 and got no crashes after 15 minutes of heavy use: problem solved!
Bought a new battery and haven't had a problem since.
The battery has only 6 months warranty and my phone was a year old, I kept the old one as really crappy spare battery.

Sorry guise, forgot to post here!
I bough a Polarcell 1800mAh battery and no more crashes, my old battery had swelled, if yours is also its pretty easy to notice, i just put my credit card on top of the battery to check it.
So yeah, you have this problem, new battery, thats all.

Hi. Thanks for the quick replies!
I have actually just tried to exchange batteries with a friend having the same phone --> his phone crashed, mine did not anymore. I then saw by carefully looking at the battery that it had indeed maybe a 1mm swell in the middle. Just ordered a replacement one. I am confident this will fix the issue.
Again, thanks for your reaction.. Nice to see the responsiveness of this forum!
Cheers,

If its the exact same problem, you need to change battery and test or try connect to charger and test

i have same problem mostly with app using gps.
today i have installed the new app game from google called ingress and it makes my phone always.
i found a new battery and i will try if something will change.
lately my crashes happens very more often i am using a gigabread+ rom and cwm recovery, but was quite the same when i was in stock .
(sorry for my english)

I got same problem with my phone, first phone gets frozen/stuck and then reboot itself from bootscreen. This was totaly random issue. After trying several roms, and kernels, underclocking cpu, I found that problem is in external sdcard. I think this is battery related issue. After unmounting and removing external sdcard, reboots gone, and battery lasts at least 20% longer. Im not using my phone like external storage, so I dont miss external sdcard, I got quite enough space on internal.

Problem fixed!

I found out that my SIM card was corrupted and caused my phone to be unable to boot. And the random shutdowns with sudden battery drains were fixed by changing the battery

%0 battery issue - phone keeps shutting off

When using the phone the battery indicator immediately drops from whatever it was at down to %0 and the phone shuts off.
When I start the phone up into recovery (Philz) it still shows the original battery percentage that was reported before the phone shut off. I rebooted the phone back up into system several times and sometimes I am able to use it for a minute or two and then it will repeat all over again: the battery drops back to %0 and the phone reboots, other times it says %0 immediately after bootup and shuts off right away.
It's intermittent, so sometimes I can go for a week or two if I'm lucky without it happening, but sometimes I can only go a few hours without being interrupted by the shutdowns. The only thing that seems to have helped me is charging my phone a little bit more and then it stops for a while, but I don't always have a charger with me so I would like to get this issue resolved if possible.
I know my battery is charged. I was able to sit there flashing my phone over and over trying to fix the issue and the phone kept working 45 minutes and even an hour later. Sometimes reflashing my ROM after wiping system, cache, etc. seems to fix the issue, other times it doesn't work.
I have done the EB40 mod to my phone, but I haven't had any issues with it. It's possible that this problem could be related to that as well, but I'm fairly confident that my battery is in good condition.
This issue has been occurring for quite a while and I have done full wipes and reflashed several times with multiple different ROMs and kernels to see if the issue was related to a certain ROM or kernel. All of the ROMs I have tried were very heavily based on CyanogenMod I believe, so if it turns out to be software rather than hardware then that seems to be the common link.
I need my phone for my job so this is something I really need to get sorted out. I have to use my phone for debugging and testing applications.
I have searched all over the web but no one I have found in any forum was having quite the same issue as me.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? A suitable workaround if no other solution could be found would be somehow preventing the phone from rebooting when the battery reads %0 if that's at all possible.
Here's a screenshot of my battery history from today when this happened. Notice how the battery level goes right back to where it was after rebooting.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6RpWzK5OKf4SFp1TWd1aUJ4ZlU/edit?usp=drive_web
Some additional info:
My battery is still at %52 as I type this and it's still running without a problem. Battery life is great in the CyanogenMod nightlies when I'm not having this issue.
I am running the October 12th nightly. The issue started while I was using arrrghhh's kernel, and it persisted even after wiping /system, and /cache and then using just the normal kernel that comes with the October 12th nightly.

Try a different rom?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

I have tried flashing quite a few different ROMs and this has happened on all of them. CyanogenMod, PAC, JellyBam, and ProBAM come to mind.

No. Would that really be necessary?
I wiped /system, /data, /boot, /cache, dalvik-cache, basically everything.
This sometimes does resolve the issue temporarily, but it comes back after a while.
UPDATE: I read somewhere that this may be an issue with the battery not being properly calibrated after installation. I don't think I've ever drained the battery all the way down since I got the EB40, so I figured I'd try it.
I tried completely draining it and charging it up to %100 with the phone off and I haven't had any issues so far. Sometimes it went for a week without having issues before though, so I'll be keeping an eye on it in case there are any more issues.
