I don't make threads often and i just thought i needed help.... I'm running the latest darchdroid with darkstar and everything was working very well and as i was texting it just went off,total shutdown of my phone. My battery was low aswell, but i just charged it for a while(the led does come on) and when i unplug it it will turn on all the way then cut out? what's wrong?
Any help is very appreciated
Could be a bad battery. How old is the phone?
maybe boot into recovery and see if it turns. off when you do that, if it doesnt turn off, nandroid back?

Lots of 2.1 ROMs have had random shutdown issues lately. You might not be alone of Darchdroid. I dont think there's a fix yet and its something we have to live with. If it is the battery, then you could replace it or recalibrate it by using it up then charging it and then using it up again.

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.
Hello all, I'm running latest stock Telus 2.1 on my Milestone.
Today I had it in my bag for most of the day, took it out and it was extremely hot to the touch. It would not turn on, screen stayed black no matter what.
I pulled the battery and powered on, everything seems okay but...I am a bit nervous. What could cause this?
Could be some renegade app in the background.

Yeah I'll definitely check into it, although I really don't think so...I literally have no apps on this phone besides Engadget, Facebook (which I never use) and QuickOffice. But I'll check.
I haven't installed any apps or changed fw on this phone for several weeks so that's why I am so concerned that it happened.
Battery drained from 60% to nothing in a short time while this happened. I had put it away and just a couple hours later it was roasting and down to nothing.

Try switching to other ROM and see how your phone behave!
Let us know!
I recommend switching to stock by flashing an original sbf.

I do this all the time with my droid, and every non clamshell phone I have ever owned. In my case, I put it away with the screen still on, or somehow magically unlock it with my pocket. I can't say exactly how the screen stays on, maybe something was pressing one of the hard buttons. But an hour in a pocket while on will kill a battery pretty fast, and make the device scorching hot to boot.
Try running cyanogen mod 6. Its much better anyway.

Im on the 4.1.2 samsung release and my phone ran down to 0% and turned off. The next day all sorts of strange things were happening on the phone. It was like pulling the plug on windows 95 (corruption). I then pulled the battery which caused a boot loop. I had to do a factory wipe to get it back.
Has any one else had this problem?
Cheers

Its possible I would say, Cause I have experienced similar things myself in the past, I think it depends on your current set up.
If your phone is processing lots of different things and then all of a sudden the power supply fails (i.e battery dies) then theres a chance that will cause data corruption..... which leads to FC's / Bootloops / Resets etc.
What I tend to do is, if I know my battery is going to die (and I cant get to a charger) I will just shut it down before it dies, to stop things like that ^^^ happening.
If the problem persist, it maybe time to replace your battery. Had a similar problem but I also had screen flickering problems
My phone is 3 weeks old and it reboots itself randomly. There is no rule, sometimes when reading email, sms, or surfing, cold, hot....
Phone isn't rooted and has original software on, there is no sdcard in it. Warranty is still valid.
Is there something i could try before i send it to service, (tried factory reset)?
Something with Kies?
thanks
same here .. ive send it to service but they return the phone to me again with the same problem..
I have the same problem and also when phone starts after reboot it has ~20 percent less battery...I thought that these random reboots are from one of custom roms that I've installed recently, so when my phone started reboot everytime I tried to watch some video I decided to go back to stock firmware. But today after couple of hours of using I got random restart after a call ;/ Maybe later I'll try to connect phone to pc and take a look what's happening in logs during reboot. Anyone else have this issue?
Same here.... untouched device, battery draining way fast, gets to 40%-60% and randomly starts restarting.... whenever I plug it in again, battery shows 1-4%
My phone can go for a few hours on standby but as soon as I start using browser, play store, camera, etc. it drains and reboots. Can I save my battery or do I try and flush it down the toilet?
P.S. Just rooted today anticipating that I can find a solution.
I'am on Maclaws CM 11 and have still no Reboots anymore
Same issue
I'm having the same issue with my galaxy s3 mini. only thing I've noticed that it won't randomly reboot when it's in the charger. So this means it can't be the powerbutton being stuck like many others are saying on the internet. But what is the solution? I'm really a noob when it comes down to technology.:silly:
Could anybody help us out?
Same here!
I've been having the same issue, Can someone help us!?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm having the same problem, the phone randomly reboots when on battery, but not whilst charging; battery status diverges wildly from reboot to reboot - it will say 60% then reboot with 5%.
Is this more likely to be a problem with the kernel and/or ROM, or the battery itself?
I have got the same issues. When I sent it to warranty, the said that the battery was badly placed. When the phone was drobet, it shaked the battery littlebit and it restarted. Thei put somekind of tape to it and worked like a dream
have same problem,batery is just down 60-5%,reboot,reboot,but thats just when mobile data on,when pull charger,no that.Buy new batery,no problem anymore

Sorry, but how can you place the battery so badly that there can get some space between the contacts?!?
Either the dimensions of the battery itself or the dimensions of the "battery-bay" are not correct (anymore?).
When everything is still original, you haven´t used a crowbar and your warranty is active, it´s imho a cheek to let you use some tape...

The case for battery was few mm too big, so the battery had littlebit too much space. It was some manufactured problem. When they put that kind of a tape, I couldn't even saw it first. It just keeps the battery steady...

Hey Guys, Quick problem My old i9000 randomly shuts down by it;s self, i've flashed back stock rom and stuff but is it the battery or software? any fix? P.S phone is 3 years old now and my dad is using it and he is pissed off.
Probably a hardware problem
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Can you specify better your question:
have you no more problems with the i9000 since you flashed back the stock firmware?
If it's fine now, it might have been only app update: app developers sometimes "forget" one of other older Android version and simple update of any app might cause biggest problems imaginable.
Restoring a nandroid backup and updating apps manually can save you lots of nervs.
Also, how's your battery? Sometimes its a case of needing a new battery

Ok, The phone running stock 2.3.4 NO apps installed, not rooted, no custom kernel.
The phone just shuts off randomly while not being used OR sometimes when you click the power button to shut the screen off. Also as a side note, when i plug the phone into charge, it says 100% fully charged 10 seconds later but when you unplug it, it goes back to what ever the charge was before plugging in.
I've tried to describe it in the best way possible, so any ideas?
thanks
I would think a prob with your battery ...can you check that ???
