[Q] i9000m!! Wont boot and lost data

My i9000m was running jk4. Never had any problems so didnt upgrade to jl2 (dont fix what aint broke).
The problem started when it went from 100% battery to 15% in 3 hours. i wasnt even using it. I turned it off to save battery. Later when i turned it on it had a black screen and just kept vibrating. I took out the battery and it would just loop the boot screen. After taking the the battery out for fourth time it booted. However all my data and apps were gone!! The only thing left were my contacts and sms. even lost all my pictures and the marketplace.
I do not think it is possible, but is there a way to get my data back? Also what caused this malfunction. It seems like it factory reset on its own or something but left some stuff behind.
Also how can I download apps without the app market?
I do not think it is possible, but is there a way to get my data back?
Try RECUVA connect via USB mass storage .

[Q] Gingerbread - Android OS taking up MASSIVE battery life, not USB bug-related

After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

[Q] Battery Drops... Random restarting...

Hi, guys...
I`m facing the following problems with my XSP...
Fully charged the phone. Then when the batt goes bellow 50% the phone starts to randomly reboot and when comes back to life the batt % is dropped down with more than 10%...
Sometimes this happenes even with batt% over 50% but without the batt % drop... Yesterday it reboots at around 35% - starts - reboot again - maybe 3-4 times... Reboots soo fast after boot that I was unable to start Logcat...After that that phone calm down, stoped restarting. I`ve noticed that maybe this happened when I`m on WiFi... but maybe...
Current ROM : Slimkat LBL. Installed over clean stock 4.3 - brand new atm - its 1 day old.
I`ve tried Pacman ROM too - same thing....
Tryed Battery calibration App - the outcome was expected - zero .
My best guess is damaged /worn/ battery...
Any other ideas ?
Additional info : The phone did it again... It was in my pocket - so didn`t know at what % was the batery, but it was restarted and stayng on PIN when I took it -> shows around 67% batt. After entering PIN and finding operator network - it restarted immеdiatеly. Then - boot up -> entring PIN -> autorestart again. I`m getting a little angry...
Additional info 2 : Is it possible to be SIM-card problem... Since the phone stays ON while on PIN. And just after I entered it -> reboots... Currently testing the phone with SIM-card removed. It boots up and working without restarts so far... Will update if there is some restarts. Otherwise - I`m thinking of trying with some friends SIM-card...
News : Shut down without SIM-cad while in a game, with WiFi - On.
Will try to took some logcat...
News : Just did a factory reset to the current Slimkat ROM - when it starts the batt was at about 45-40%. After finishing and boot up - batt -> 6%... It must be the battery afterall...
Still - any ideas ?!? Or I must buy myself a new toy ....
At the moment, without any charging - battery shows 23% and the phone reboots as soon as I entered the PIN.
Battery showed in Philz Recovery - the same 23%.
Update : Restarts even on 90%...Last time I`ve managed to use the phone for more than 10 mins without reboot...
Tryed some placebo : Battery Life Repair - it shows 5-6 "low" sectors and stands that it managed to reaired them - same sh*t...
Update : Currently running 4.1.2 Stock ROM - the same...
Waiting for the holidays to end so I can send my phone to a service for diagnostic... and eventualy rapair..
Added : Logcat from Slimkat - just before restarting...
So a reboot followed by a severe battery drain.IDK whether battery problem or not but might be some hardware problem.
I suggest you to stay on stock(preferably 4.3).From my experience even i have noted some really nasty problems which were not reported by anyone but ultimately solved by returning to stock.

I`m on custom ROMs from a very very long time.... More than an year. Never experienced such problem... As I said - I`ve flashed Stock 4.3 - same problem...
The strange thing is... that the phone can stay on for a long time before entering PIN... Reboots after entered...
Plus - I can easily flash custom rom trough recovery - which takes time - without reboot or shut down...
I`ll try the phone without SD card... My previous phone - Motorola Defy had problem with some SD cards - it rebooted randomly - now I remembered...
And something more.. .I`ve recently droped the phone on the road , while running...poped out of my belt case. It has silicone case around it , but this can also be a reason - a mechanical internal damage...
I`m guessing that I`ll be forced to buy a new phone...The choice is clear - Xperia Z3 Compact, but it lacks of custom roms for now... And the stock one... well it`s stock
Working...
The phone is working now. Without SD card... The battery is draing a little faster, but not that much... I can change it afterall. But no reboots so far - more than an hour of browsing and gaming .

Note 5 wakelock problem ( battery drain ) need help! ! !

My note 5 (SM-N9208 duos) giving me so much pain. Need serious help. From the very beginning my phone getting very hot, battery drained very first . For that i googled and found many of user of note 5 having this problem. It causes for wakelock. Android os and android system runs 100% time. I enable power saving mood, no background process, do not keep active, battery optimization of all apps, install greenify - nothing happens. When i saw "show cpu uses" i found - after screen lock too many app running in background but when I unlock apps are killing of. To resolve this issue when i connect the phone to pc it couldn't recognised. First i change my cable. Nothing happened. Then i install latest drivers and kies. Same result. Then try to root without pc. But i don't find any apk to root. I tried many apps(king root, kingo root, muster root and like 100 app from play store and other websites ) to root but failed. Then i try adb and bootloader by java on pc. Result 000. I also clean the charging port very carefully. By the way, fast charging not working and takes a long time to complete charge approximately 5 hours.
So finally i have a note 5 which takes 5 hour to charge and goes 8 hours battery backup. I can't root it or connect to computer to resolve wakelock issue. Can anyone help me? Please. ...

Random reboots. Could it be battery issue? (LOGS)

Hello,
In the recent few months, my phone keeps rebooting by itself, even when it is on the desk for hours without getting bothered.
The funny thing is that this is a soft reboot, because there isn't any Google splashscreen. The problem persist through different ROMs and kernels.
Things I tried already:
- swap ROM (PureNexus 7.1 -> NitrogenOS 8.1)
- swap kernel (Franco kernel -> ElementalX kernel)
- factory reset, wipe caches
- decrypt device
- use 3G instead of 4G
- swap radio
- increasing and decreasing CPU voltage and clock
- changing CPU governor
I attach two logs from two different reboots, also the related .rc file.
In the logs, you can see a line similiar to this:
Code:
[310842.492056] init: processing action (sys.shutdown.requested=*) from (/init.shamu.rc:578)
What causes the reboots? Could it be a defective battery issue?
Not a defective battery, but a tired one. Batteries wear out after being used constantly for two years. I know this because I too get the random reboots, though mine does not occur daily like yours apparently does. You can clear the bootloader logs and immediately recharge for a temporary fix, but you will eventually want to replace the battery.
I just replaced my battery yesterday with a new OEM one. Had my phone for 2.5 years so I thought why not. When I took my old one out, it was actually in very good condition but there were some bubble marks around it indicating it overheated at some point.
Nevertheless, I've had random reboots, but the new battery so far hasn't rebooted m phone yet. The process to replace very pretty simple, just need a tool to pry the back cover off and carefully make sure you don't pull it off with too much force. Then there are 22 T4 torx screws.
In my case I'm simply going to live with it, because I plan on switching to a Pixel 2XL later this year. In any event I can't be certain mine is a battery issue as I only encountered this after using Android 8.x ROMs. I just haven't bothered to delve into it.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I tried to wipe the bootloader logs too. No success so far.
I think I order a replacement battery and try to sell the phone with that.
I also plan to switch to a newer model. It seems it is time to switch.
Thanks for the help, guys!
