For weeks or months now, I have had a problem with my battery. Not only does it drain itself radically, my phone also restarts at random moments (usually when someone's calling, percent of battery doesn't exactly matter) If it helps, when I checked my battery a week ago, I found that it had some scratches at the side, which is unusual since I don't even touch it.
That's problem number one; the drainage and the random restarts. I have another one. Since yesterday, after I entered a friend's house that I know receives no signal at all, I have not had decent signal. Location doesn't even matter anymore, I usually have good signal at home but now there's nothing. It sometimes goes on but after a while, it's gone again. Friends with the same SIM cards (TM, and no that does not mean T-Mobile, it's a local brand) say that their signals are quite good. I tried inserting my sim on my brother's phone and it was working fine.
I deem my phone useless now. Help?
Which rom you are using..
Try full wipe!!!
GingerDX. Already tried that, it didn't work.
maybe ur x8 is not well reacting with this rom
try another rom or other version
Install all Past Versions of GINGERDX. Worked for me i got more than 2 days on mah gingerDx and S-Rom.
Oh, wait the signal's fine now. My only problem is the battery now.
Hm..maybe. But for the brief moment that I downgraded it to the stock Eclair, it still kept restarting when the battery got low.
I just got it what causes battery drain on GDX!
GPS! Even if you turn it off, it will eat your battery until you reboot. I think it can't stop for some reason.
So after you use GPS, you have to turn it off and you must reboot to prevent BD.

Had my HTC Diamond (Orange) around a week now using the ROM that came with it, 1.37.405.1.WWE.
I cant get the battery to last more than 8 hours, on average it lasts 6/7 hours! I am charging it overnight around 12 hours and all bars are full at the start but it drains so fast.
I have turned off 3G, bluetooth, wifi etc... set backlight to go off automatically, generally i have it locked so backlight is dimmed most of the time.
I am not making any calls or even sending texts or actually doing anything, its just laid on my desk while im at work, so who knows how long it would last if i did!
Do you think i have a dodgy battery? i dont fancy sending it back to orange with their stock problems. Would a new battery solve the issue? ROM update? or could it even be a dodgy handset? cheers. J
Well it's a normal lifetime for the Diamond...
(It's a joke...)
If what you sayed is true, there is 3 possibilities :
1) You don't have any network coverage so the diamond is seeking for one and that will drain your battery quickly... (but not sure such quickly..)
2) You're battery is dead ?
3) You'd installed an application that drain your battery.. try a hardreset to see....
I'll try a hard reset.
I'm making sure no apps are open also, Task Manager is empty. Could there be anything else running secretly in the background.
I've seen the stories of bad battery life, but 6/7 hours just seems ridiculous considering im not even using the phone, just leaving it in a state of unlocked...
I have had my Diamond for about a month now, and had been suffering from most of the usual battery issues, I am running Dutty;s Project V2 rom
A few days ago I downgraded to the .05 radio and this seems to have cured the battery issue, I do turn off bluetooth and 3G when I dont need them.
This does seem to have cured things nicely, looks like the phone will last 2 days or so
Bloke
i have searched on the forum and found no one with the same symptoms that i am experiencing. i have had my kaiser for about a year now and have been happy for the most part with battery consumption. but about 2 weeks ago my battery started draining super fast when i'm talking on the phone. even with a bluetooth and the screen off. i don't remember changing any settings at all. for a 10 min phone conversation i can use 25% or more of my battery. i purchased a cheap extended battery a few months ago and i get the same results regardless of which battery i use. i purchased the phone with WM6.5 pro from PDACorner/ abusalza (ROM version: PC.Ultimate.V17 WWE)already installed. i really like the ROM and all the apps installed and i'm not reall excited about flashing a new ROM. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Could be that both batteries are bad.
My battery started to drain very quickly last June, so in Sept. I bought a new battery,( cheap one, on line ) worked great. I used both batteries back and forth to make sure that I always had a fully charged battery.
Last Dec. My phone started turning off for no reason, ( like the battery was dead ) so I stopped using the old battery and just used the " new one ". About a week later my phone went into a start up; reset loop. It would not boot without resetting. I figured the battery was old 3 months old, it couldn't be the battery. I tried everything else short of buying a new phone. Finally I went on line and bought another cheap battery. The phone has worked perfect ever since.
Moral of the story ? Don't discount the battery just because it still seems new. I got what I paid for from my $12 battery, a little over three months.
that all makes sense, but the battery only drains this fast when i'm on the phone. nothing else; wifi, movies, even gps drains as fast as using the phone...
Same issue here..
Strange thing is that when on the phone battery is draining very fast and most of the time the call is cut off. When I start the phone again I still have power and can work on my phone, when I try to make another phone call the phone cuts off in one second. I hear about to batteries, where is the other one and can I replace it?
Well if you have a custom rom on the phone the radio might need to be changed.
Very true, try running the stock radio for your device/carrier and see if you get the same results. For me personally I've noticed a difference in battery usage especially during calls depending on the radio. For me on AT&T in the US the original radio seems the best.
Hi all,
I've got an annoying issue on my O2x. Sometimes when I leave it in standby for a long time (>30mins) with the screen off, the battery percentage freezes and I can't make or receive calls/sms; also mobile data stop working. If I try to activate flight mode, nothing happens. I have to reboot the phone.
Example:
Yesterday I went to sleep (battery: 73%).
I woke up after 6 hours (battery: 71%).
I used the phone for ~2 hours (battery: still 71%).
Then I noticed that Mobile Data were disabled (can't enable it) and signal was fixed to 3/4 bars (even if I tried to go somewhere w/o phone signal - still 3/4).
Tried to make calls, send sms but can't (battery: still 71%).
Tried to turn on airplane mode, it disabled Wi-Fi but nothing else happened (battery: still 71%).
At the end I had to reboot the phone. At boot, battery was 17% (the true percentage, I suppose) and everything with mobile data/signal was ok. Then I received 7-8 messages from people that tried to contact me during this "issue" time. :\
This crappy thing is happening like once a day, so please help me!!
(I'm running Leaked v20o with BB725, but I had the same issue through Topogigi/Thanatos/CM/v20L with different BBs/RILs!)
I have the same problem. Battery freezes at 37%, and I can't receive/make calls. If I reboot the phone then the battery start to show the correct charge. This happens every day. It sucks.
Well, at least I'm not the only one...
Someone told me it could be an hardware problem (battery).. So I think I'll buy a new battery as soon as possible and try... :S
I had the same issues when I upgraded my phone to the official Gingerbread release. Prior to that I was on Topogigi's ROM, which is GB as well, and never had similar problems using two different basebands (but I honestly don't remember what number they were). When I switched to CM7 I never faced this issue again, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.
hi guys, i'm getting really pissed off right now
i''ve got my phone for 3 months now and it worked like charm till the last month

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
Hey guys, I am not so sure how to describe this problem, but I'll just tell you what exactly is happening.
Firstly, the main problem is whenever I connect to WIFI/3G, the phone shuts itself down in about 2 mins of use, even if the battery is at about 70%+. After I turn it back on, it only has 1%- and it shuts down again. I tried to turn it in Recovery mod, so the battery will completely discharge (with screen on), but it didnt happen. Then I turned it on again- And now the battery was 20%
Now, I noticed that I can use the phone for music (I listened to music for 1.5 hours straight without it turning off) (also, it didnt have a SIM card inside, so it was on Airplane Mode).
I bought the phone a year and a half ago, and used it for about a year (changed MANY roms when it was mine), and about 6 months ago, I gave it to my mom cuz I bought myself a Galaxy Nexus. I left her with CM9 or Darkys rom (not so sure about that), and she told me about this problem 2 months ago.
Im not so sure the problem is with the battery, because I have the main battery, and 2 other batteries ordered from eBay (weaker ones).
Also, the main (and maybe just a bit of the 2 other) battery inflated (not so sure how to say that, as English is not my main language) so much that you cant even close the back door of the phone.
I tried changing Roms, from GB to JB- nothing helped. Willing to hear everything you got.
Thanks, Mark.
