Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie and I had this happen for the first time today.
Here's my story: I purchased my NC during the Ebay $50 off sale. It had version 1.1 software. I Nootered it a couple of weeks after I got it using Autonooter 3.0 and all was well. I routinely ran the battery to as low as 10% with no problems whatsoever.
When the 1.2 update came out I turned off my wi-fi so it wouldn't auto-update. After a couple of weeks, I decided to flash it back to 1.1 and manually update it to 1.2 with the info I found here at xda. Everything went fine. My NC hasn't been charged for about a week and, before reading a magazine for about an hour last nigh, I checked the battery level and it was 68% (I don't use it everyday). This afternoon I was reading the same magazine for about 30 minutes and all of a sudden it just went black and would not "wake up" or boot up. I remember seeing something about this on xda and read the thread but that seems to be some kind of issue with CM7, which I don't run.
Is this an issue with the 1.2 software (as was mentioned in the other thread) or could this be related to my previous Autonootering and flashing back to stock? Since I'm on stock 1.2 and not nootered now, is there a "fix" for me?
I was just about to make a bootable sd card and now I've got THIS issue to deal with!
Please Help!
Plug it into the usb port on your computer and it should boot up.
Thanks Kayak! I was able to get it to reboot by plugging it in when I got home but what I really want to know is if there is a "fix" so it won't die when the battery gets down to 30%.
My fault, In trying to explain everything I neglected to ask the question I really wanted the answer to.

It obviously shouldn't "die" at 30% battery. Sometimes power cycle/fresh reboot will fix it. Your nook might have misread the battery level or maybe it just had an error, I don't know. But if it happens again I would consider rooting it just to get a fresh install of 1.2 Plus, rooted 1.2 stock is pretty sweet with not a lot of effort at all. Mine occasionally gets stuck in what seems to be an "off" state, but it rarely happens. When it does, I just hold down the power button and it reboots. I've never had to plug it into my laptop to get it to start up again.

Hey guys, I need some help with my G1. I regularly do conditioning for my phone and for some reason, even if my phone has a full charge, it just turns off and I can't turn it back on until I put it on a charger or wait about two hours. Also the phone doesn't give me a notification that it's shutting down. Not sure if this is the right topic to put it in but thanks for the help!
EDIT: I have been using Cyanogen v4.2.13 and I've checked my battery status on my phone and it says that it's in good condition
Ive been having the same problem. Hopefully someone can help us!
me too!
I have this exact problem. I have the latest CyanogenMod - v4.2.13 ROM on my phone. I read somewhere that the auto wallpaper switching apps caused this. But even after uninstalling the app my phone randomly shuts down.
i guess you can try going back to a earlier cyanogen rom or any rom and see if that changes the problem, if not, i guess you can try to wipe, and to the htc recovery and all that and go back to 4.2.13, im still new at this whole thing so its just a thought
Same here
I'm not sure what the deal is. I think that I have dirt in my SD connector or something because mine runs out of memory and reboots sometimes. Other times it works for days. Still other times, it goes into a reboot loop until I take the sd card out and re-seat it.
Perhaps the weak sd connection is the culprit. Are other people keeping the phone in a pocket that generates lint and dust?
Does a battery pull / replace seem to fix the problem?
i keep mine in my front pocket all day everyday lol
I say take a sledgehammer to it, that way it'll die reliably rather than randomly
I reflashed radio, spl, rom, partitioned, wiped, everything! Still shut itself off today. I had to turn it back on with the charger connected to get it back again.
Hey guys, I found the problem. My battery couldn't hold a charge so I would suggest getting a new battery if you had the same problem as I did. Be sure to condition/calibrate it so it'll last longer.
EDIT: Also only put your phone on a charger if the battery is extremely low.
Change Battery
I tried at least 4 different ROMs(with wipe/reset) and it did the same thing. So it's not the software. As a finally test I swapped batteries with my wife (also has a G1). No random shut down on my phone but her phone did. So it's definitely a battery issue. Also, I noticed my battery has swollen quit a bit. New battery on it's way.
Hello, I'm new to the forums, although I always keep an eye here to download a ROM or reading any tips, but the time has come that I really need help and can't find in any topic, even the ones that are similar to mine.
I own a note and I love it. I've been using the JellyBam ROM for a while now, never changed kernels etc.
that is... until yesterday, when I flashed the thor 0.28 kernel. Everything was nice but today I had to do some stuff outside home so I took my galaxy S player with me, but when I was driving it ran out of battery, so I put its SD card in my Note (N7000), but it didnt recognized my sd card, so i changed them back and drove without music and didnt touch my phone. this was 10AM, I guess.
when I stopped to get my hair cut I noticed my phone was rebooting. I had just left my house and the battery was already in 46%. this was about 10:30AM, so I took of the battery and replaced it. the phone started normally but when the main screen appeared it turned off. I thought it was only the display, so I pressed the on/off button but it didn't work, so I pressed a little longer and the phone started again. but then it turned off.
so I plugged it into the mobile car charger and it turned on normally. so I looked to the battery stats and it was showing 20% of battery left, but the moment I took the energy cable, the phone turned off.
long story short: until now my phone is only working when connected to its charger, although it's saying 100% charged :/
from 01PM, the time I arrived, 'til now I've wiped everything I could, changed kernels, changed ROMs but it refuses to work.
I notice something, though: while charging I can use it normally, except if I try to use the camera. When I click on the camera app it turns off, as like it was not connected to the charger.
I'm about to install the stock ICS ROM to see if the problem vanishes, but I doubt it. let's see...
hope anyone can help me :/
EDIT: I'm using the stock ICS without any problem for like 10 minutes now. But when I was configuring it for the first time it turned off once. this was 10 minutes ago. oh, and the camera is taking pictures and not turning the phone off... when connected to the charger. when I take pictures USING FLASH without charging at the same time, it turns the phone off. pictures without flash are taken normally. goddamn it D: what this could be?
I would just try another battery.
If the problem doesn't occure due to the system, it can only be a hardwareproblem.
So just ask a friend and put the battery of his/her phone into yours and check if the problem still exists.
reported for using a non gpl kernel.
Change it, if you wsnt to receive help at xda, or go ask in th*rs forums...
You are like high on weed going to cops(xda) to ask them about thc content (the kernel that shall not br named)... and then not expecting a scolding.
Recently updated from CM9 to jcsullin's CM11 (11-20140409). Most everything seems to be ok aside from an unusual battery issue, and I don't know what it's coming from. I've attached a screenshot with some battery stats to help out, but I can describe what was going on in this particular instance.
I've had my touchpad sitting on the touchstone nearly 100% of this time (only time it was not was when I picked it up and immediately returned it). At some point, loaded up and was playing Breach & Clear for a while. Finally stopped playing, and upon exiting, battery was reported at 1%. Now, I get that some things can drain the battery even while on a charger, but we're talking a span of maybe 60-90 minutes. At this point, I picked the pad up and the battery immediately went up to 100%, and I dropped it back onto the touchstone.
This is the second time I've had this happen. Yesterday, it actually shut itself off due to low battery when I picked it up. I turned it right back on, and it was reporting 100% (recovery also reports 100%). This morning, I reflashed the A6 firmware in case that was the issue, but it does not seem to have had any impact.
Really could use some advice here. I suspect the battery is more or less staying charged while on the touchstone, and that this is something related to bad reporting or (worst case) a defective tablet.
Thanks for any help.
Just a quick update. Shutting off the touchpad before leaving work, during the shutdown process, I saw the battery % drop from 100 to 0. As I was getting out the touchpad at work and turning it on, I got the battery-with-question mark symbol. Placed it on the touchstone and it booted itself. I decided to take it to recovery, and pulled it off the touchstone. Now, as I watch, the battery is changing % wildly. 100%, 29%, 0%, 67%, back to 100%, 0% again...
Really don't know what's going on. Did not have this happen on CM9. Could really use some help.
Edit: I just threw on a random game while off the touchstone to see what happened. Everything seemed normal, battery ran down to 93%. Exited the game, turned off the screen, and two seconds later it was shutting itself off with 0% battery. Immediately turned it back on, and it shows 93% again.
Did you do a clean install? Does the issue persist after reflashing?
Fresh install, used tptools to wipe and repartition the tablet, no WebOS, CM11 only. Reflashing A6 didn't help.
Still unresolved, possible more problematic.
I rotated my tablet from landscape to portrait and back (while on the touchstone) and it decided to shut itself off.
If anyone knows of/has similar issues (fixable or note), I'd really like to hear about it. Will be disappointed if it's dead, but it's better than spinning my wheels on it for something I can't resolve. If I have to buy a new tablet, I'd like to get it over with.
Edit:
Been a bit since I posted this, but I let the tablet sit for a bit. The battery stats are pretty crazy. Note that I've left it on the touchstone this entire time. I don't get why it's doing what it's doing at all. See newly attached screenshot.
there are 2 possibilities
1. your battery is ****ed, hardware issue, you cant fix unless you replace the battery
2. software issue, but from what you described, seems like you installed properly, so i would suggest to boot into webos (u gonna have to reinstall it), and use it for a few days to see if you get the same problem
- if you do get the same problem, then it's 100% ur battery is ****ed
- if no, then ur cm11 is messed up, try another rom
Ah well. Was hoping I might be able to fix it without any wipes.
I would think if the ROM itself was the issue, others with jcsullins' CM11 would have problems as well. Looks like that's not the case at this point. Perhaps I'll just retired the tablet and get a laptop.
Thanks for the input.
Hi, did you get anywhere with this?
I've got occasional battery percentage glitches on Jcsullins CM11 that I didn't get with the previous WebOS/CM9 setup. See attachment.
Sadly I don't have the time or motivation to launch a huge investigation by flashing ROMs, etc... Looking like I'll just restore WebOS and sell.
At this point, I can't get the thing to boot. I've had it on a charger for a month or two now. I've got the blinking home button. It booted once, but I wasn't in a position to hook it up to a computer and try to wipe it. I've not really put any energy into fixing it since.
I plan on getting it back on the touchstone at some point, and setting it next to my PC. If I ever get it to boot, I'm going to try to get webos back on it first thing, and go from there.
Thanks for the reply. I'm questioning the amount of time I'm spending tinkering with this 3.5 year old device when new tablets are so cheap.
Touchpads are still making a reasonable amount on eBay so sadly I think it's time to just restore webOS and move on. Shame because it runs 4.4 pretty well, at least as good as my Galaxy S3.
Bought a Kindle Fire HD 7 (first gen) back about 2 years ago. Has worked fine until a few months ago when my wife noticed it would randomly shut off. Battery could be 60,70,80 or even higher % charged. Once it would shutoff it would rarely boot up unless plugged into a charger for a while. Has anyone else had this issue?
I should mention it did this with untouched Kindle OS and also has done it with CM11.
Im wondering if this is just a hardware issue or if this is something that can be resolved via software/troubleshooting. There isnt anything important on the tablet so i can wipe/install as needed.
Any help would be great. Thanks

I'm thinking after two years your battery may be at the end of it's rope. You might try replacing it.
Thanks for the input. So last night i charged it to 100% and used a battery calibration app. Took it off the charger and started running stuff to keep the screen on and use the battery. Got to about 70% and it randomly shutoff. Tried booting into TWRP and was in for about a min before another shutdown. Was unable to start it up, would get to the CM load animation then it would die.
Then i did something either stupid or genius. I hit it a couple times and shook it. While doing this i tried turning it on and it booted. However after a few mins of use it wold shutdown. Did this a couple times where it would only turn on if i was shaking or "flexing" it. So this led me to believe this must be a hardware issue.
I decided to open up the back and make sure nothing seemed loose. Pulled the back off, unscrewed the battery and pulled out one end but not all the way out. Pulled some various connecting cables including wifi cable and plugged them back in. I booted with the back off sitting flat on a table and it ran without issue playing back a movie for at least 30 mins. I then put the back o and pulled up google maps and had that on/screen on for at least another 30 mins, occasionally pivoting and zooming in and out. That got me to about 45-50% battery.
I plugged it in to charge over night and will see if it now will behave. Im hoping it was just something loose. Will report back, Thanks
My best friend is having this same issue, and I was hoping if your findings have been positive. If so, we may do like you did and hopefully solve the issue.
Hi,
I've owned a B&N Nook HD (7 inch) for just over a year, when I first got it I flashed CWM and CM10 onto it and ever since have had absolutely no issues with it, however a couple of weeks back I was having trouble getting it to charge, it would take a few tries of plugging the cable in before it would finally begin (I'm not sure whether this is related at all to the issue) However a couple of days ago I was happily browsing the internet, then it made a strange "Pop" sound and the screen went completely black. Ever since then it won't boot up, it will briefly display the Nook logo but will then make the same pop sound and go to what looks like a black screen, however under low light you can see that the backlight is still faintly on, and to turn it off you have to hold the power button for 7ish seconds. Also on one attempt to boot it made it past the nook logo, and onto the cm loading screen but then had the same issue. I've also tried booting it to recovery but with no success :crying: .
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to say that it's a complete right off.
Thanks
Probably you might have damage battery

Please watch this tutorial how to remove battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfYvhtw30mU.
Then charge your battery via external power source i.e.Master charger. If you still can't turn on your device. Then buy new battery. Link of ebay is http://www.ebay.com/bhp/nook-battery
If it is software issue @leapinlar will surely figure it out.
Thank you very much for your quick response, I'll give the link a try!

I had a go at removing the battery, but as I don't have a Master charger or anything like that around, just stuck a multimeter onto the connector, and it read about 3.5v so to me that seems pretty charged.
Does this mean it is a damaged battery, as I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget, so want to make sure I'm getting the right thing

I've install stable cyanodgen 10.2.1 a year ago and have this issue ever since. Not sure if it's common but whenever the nook is drain completely to dead...when you try charging it..the light would be green..then amber. So I don't know whether its charge or not but I guess it is. I would not be able to power it back on...the normal way. It would seems dead. The way for me to get it to power up is to get into cwm recovery by pressing both the power and home button at the same time, then reboot it. It gets annoying because I would have to do that all the time since my 5 year would drain it out lol
