Phone freezes after being charged all night?

99% of the time, i charge my phone over night when im sleeping, however everytime i do this i wake to find my phone has frozen. This means anyone who has tried to call or txt me during the night hasnt gotten through. The phone rings for them, but at my end the phone just stays blank.
This is the only time my phone freezes (within limits) and the fact it happens every night without fail seems a tad odd.
My old kaiser did the same but iv started to get a tad fed up of this, does it do the same for anyone else? Or does anyone know a way around it?
Im running Dutty's 6.1 hybrid, on UK t-mobile.
cheers guys

How are you charging it?

Is it plugged into a PCs USB port, using a mains charger (if so is it the official one supplied with the device)? Have you tried swapping charging methods (or chargers if you have a spare) to see if the problem goes away? Do you have a spare battery you can swap in?

thanks for the response!
Its an offical HTC charger plugged into the wall, and as far as i can tell charging it via the computer is fine, but then again i dont leave it plugged into the computer for 12 hours.
I dont have second battery to try but the fact that this is a totally new phone & battery and i had this problem with my old phone aswell. iv also swopped the chargers around and it still happens.

are you in wifi mode
Sometimes when I leave the wifi mode on it will freeze, make sure the wifi is off at night. Hope this helps.
Cheers

cheers, wifi is always off though!
Kind of bugging me, especially is id like to use the alarm on my phone, but im too hesitant incase phone freezes & it doesnt go off.

Time to give it an overnight charge from the PC and other tests

The next step then is to restore the phone to an 'as new' state in terms of software/ROM/Radio/spl etc (unless others with the same setup can verify this problem never happens for them) and charge it for the normal period solely via USB from a PC. You mentioned you don't normally recharge the phone this way for long periods but try it for a night or two just to see if this makes a difference. It would also help to rule out power fluctuations as a contributing factor if you could power the PC via a UPS. As this has happened now with 2 phones and 2 mains adapters, its extremely unlikely to be a hardware fault and more likely something associated with the configuration or your neigbourhood power supply. If it locks up most nights, take a note of the time displayed on the phone when that happens - is it the same time on each occasion?
What happens if you leave it on charge while in flight mode with all 'options' such as wifi, bluetooth etc turned off (just for diagnostic purposes)? If you can get it to charge properly without locking up in a basic state, then if you reintroduce any differences one by one and test after each change, you'll find the culprit.

Battery issues - i9000 - Darky ROM 10.4.2

I'm using Darky ROM 10.4.2, My Galaxy S has been in use for almost a year now (i bought it second hand early last year), it has been running great up until this morning. I have always charged my phone while I sleep and everytime i'm next to the computer and have USB cable handy. I more than often charge directly from a computers USB or from a plug socket to USB converter i have (designed for phone charging).
Anyway what happened this morning was I woke up and my phone was really hot, and a message was on the screen saying that the battery is too hot or too cold and that charging has been paused.
I removed the battery and took it off charge and let the phone cool down. After rebooting, the phone seemed to be working fine, however when I tried charging via USB, I noticed that the phone recognizes that its charging (i.e. the charging animation icon comes up), however the percentage does not increase no matter how long i leave it charging (did it for about 30 minutes this morning). I thought this may have been a battery stats problem, so just to be safe I cleared the battery stats in CWM recovery. However the problem seems to remain. Although, I'm not sure whether its charging fully if i switch the phone off instead of booting it, as again it does recognize that its charging, but the battery meter in that case has no % and I can't actually make out whether its increasing or not.
Any ideas on what I need to do? Whether that's to buy a new battery, flash a new ROM, or anything else I could attempt?
(I'm aware a lot of battery problems are reported, but after searching I could not find one that particularly matches whats happening to mine.)

[Q] Phone is using too much energy to charge?

Morning,
since a few months i occasionally have this problem. My phone is charging slooooooooow and i get a message somewhat like: your phone is using too much energy to charge, try closing apps blabla.. (freely translated from Dutch, sorry). Sometimes this happens when im going to sleep. I dont notice its not charging normally, i go to sleep but when i wake up the phone is turned off and charging while turned off. This way, the alarm won't go off either and this may lead to some problems sometime in the future I didn't happen yet when i had an appointment or something fortunately.
First i thought it was a rom problem but whatever rom i'm on, the problem keeps occuring every now and then. Just last night my phone was at 2% and it said that it needed 1 day and 13 hours more to charge This morning i just let the phone die and now it's charging while its turned off. It seems to charge somewhat faster now.
I read different topics on this subject but there wasnt really an answer to this problem, most of them just updated or changed rom and the problem was fixed. I'm wondering, is this a battery problem maybe? Or maybe my charger is malfunctioning? I hope someone experienced this before and found a solution.
Thanks in advance!

So after 2 hours of charging it was on 47%. I thought lets try to connect it to my computer: suddenly its on 69% Then i got a message to connect to original charger cause this will take longer to charge etc.. so i plugged it back in the wallcharger and its on 67%.. Wtf is happening
edit: Its charging to 66% now LOL

Battery/Charging Issue after official Android 5.02 Update

Hi all,
I updated my HTC One (m7) yesterday to Lolli 5.0.2 (OTA). I had my phone 100% charged and plugged.
Everything went perfect. However today I noticed this. I had my phone charge overnight (in airplane mode and no wifi) and in the mornign it was obviously at 100%.
I turned Wifi and Cell Signal on and left for work, when I arrived I noticed somehow higher battery consumption about (level was at bout 80%).
Like always I plugged my phone to the computer via USB (Wifi and Cell on). I check after abotu 2-3 hours and the phone was hot, and status at 50% !
Even though it was USB charging it dropped from 80 to 50. I swiched Wifi off and placed it in airplane mode and it was charging at normal (USB) speed,
of course that is not a solution (having a phone off just to charge it !).
Any ideas. Up until yesterday with 4.4 it was behaving normally (so the battery is ok).
Thx and brgds,
Alex

This question seems to come up every day at the moment, I recommend you use the search function next time, see the replies here for possible fixes.

Thx I will try try that. I actually found that thread but didn't see the last post. I thought it was CM12 specific issue.

I tried the solution proposed on that thread :
Have you tried a hardware battery recalibration?
The battery calibration starts with the phone completely off. The steps are as follows: Charge the device for at least 10 minutes using the original charging cable in a wall outlet. With the device powered off while still plugged into the wall outlet, press and hold the volume up, volume down and power button for two full minutes. Use three fingers to hold these buttons and do not let go at any time. They will be held in at the same time for this to work. The phone will switch on and off every 15 seconds, After two minutes, you can let go, whilst the screen is on, At this point, the device should boot up and battery/charging logic will be re-calibrated.

and it improved significantly. Wall socket charging is as it was before. USB a bit slower but within the "normal" limits.
I will probably try it again to see if it improves even more.

First time I tried it, I have to admit, I was surprised by the change, I run it every couple of months now.

Battery 100% On, 80% Off

phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted

l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery

Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

I tried - original cable with original charger 6hr
- original cable with apple charger 2hr
- different cable with original charger 1.30hr
- different cable with apple charger 2hr
(Used different fast chargers too, same results)
I tried a smart switch recovery. Same conclusion which makes me think its a hardware issue

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..
Hit thanks if helped

Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.

I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)

I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?

So... any solutions?
