I flashed my phone to gingerbread with odin when it was only 60% charged.. I did notice that my battery drains more quickly now, but is that related to the odin flash?
I installed battery calibration app and hope that solves the issue, but was it "dangerous" flashing with only 60% full? I read somewhere it should be fully charged before flashing
I regular flash with low batterie no its not that as i get good batterie life 2.3.3 jvh
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
its the rom / kernel
its not odin, people only say flash with a full battery so your phone don't die in the flashing process and brick it.
takes a few attempts to do a battery calibration, try it again, if its still a problem change rom
thanks for the quick answers
good to know
Flashing tends to upset the battery for a week or so .

Hello! My SGS's battery got empty, the phone was almost shut down. After the vibration, I presume that it is completely shut down and when you plug-in the charger it must show you an animation with a battery. The problem is that it doesn't show me the animation, it just starts the phone. I'm a bit scared and I won't do anything until I get an advice. Does anyone know what should I do to "shut it down completely"? It could have been from the kernel?
to shut it down completely just take off the battery ! put it in and check if its turning ON of course with charger if battery is empty

I did that too and it's still turning on by itself when I connect the charger.
Are you using a custom kernel? What firmware?

the fact that your phone turn on when plugged in is a *bug* in the kernel .. generally this thing is mentioned in the features/bugs on the forum page of the kernel.. if you flash a stock one or a different kernel (which doesn't have this *bug*, you won't be having this issue...
*bug* - it can be a feature too
May be a problem with the kernel just try to update the kernel or go back to stock......
X8 running MiniCM7 2.1.9 with nAa kernal-11
Camera
First access to camera since boot, it shows blank with camera framework there.
If i exit and return back to camera, the screen is now complete blank without camera framework. There saw once i got "Could not conect to camera" error.
Charging
Charge when phone is turned off, screen appreads with battery charging image. If i press on/off button to boot up rom, it stops charging(shown in settings>about phone>phonestatus) but my LED notification shows constant red.
Battery icon shows 0%
Sometimes after boot up it discharge at 18% and after sometime(i dont know how long or maybe it keeps on repeating) the phone restarts. and turn to 0%
Could it be virus? Cause my SDcard folders' name start to change to weird symbols.
Or because i dropped my phone on the floor?

Have you ever try to full wipe your phone?
Try to reinstalling your ROM, maybe it will help

Forgot to mention, i reinstalled 5-6 times the rom.
But havent data wipe.
Will the data cause these issues??
After i fix my sdcard, now the phone can be charged, but camera still dont work.
Do u have any partitions on ur SD card?that MIGHT have caused the camera issue.

no, 1 partition, FAT32, i didnt do anything to partition before this problem.
And now again the charging problem came, after i reinstall the rom.
Dont forget u need to factory reset after installing,it will only remove the stuff on ur phone not the memory card,anyway u can install em back
EDIT:Wait if i remember correctly,i used to use minicm7.2.x and after u install the kernel and rom u ALSO need to install gapps.zip files by flashing them with CWM,u better double check with the guys over at minicm thread .used to have charging problems cuz i forgot to install gapps.zip as adviced by them.
EDIT2:Yup u need to install gapps (google apps) there is a link there for you to download it,all u need to do is follow all the instruction given and it will be fine.

try to full wipe data / reformat your SD card, and install your ROM again,
Maybe it will solve your problem
Don't forget to install gapps for your ROM

did you try to revert back to Stock ROM and Kernel?
if the problems gone, i think that's not a hardware problem..
do you have somekind like travel charger? you can charge your battery if your phone won't charge..

did you try different charger? maybe the problem is in your charger,
Listen here,its IMPORTANT to install gapps if u havent alrdy.
Step 1 flash kernel
Step 2 reboot to CWM then factory reset (full wipe) MAKE SURE U DO THIS.
Step 3 install rom minicm7.2.1.x and then gapps
Step 4 reboot,takes 2 ~ minutes
GAPPS is a VITAL Step it has nothing to do with ur charger nor hardware.
Edit:i know i might not be an x8 user anymore,but i had that problem because i didnt read the instructions propely.
Edit2: im using a apple wall charger and it works fine,charging my Xperia Neo V.

if don't facing the problem with stock rom/ stock kernel, then your phone doesn't work perfectly with custom kernel or ROM. or maybe there are step that you didn't take it

maybe, but first time i unlock bootloader, and use minicm7, no problem at all.
and there's some problem with battery now. Overnight 100% will become 0 %
I think its because malfunctioning camera keep running background, let me try to freeze it and see the result.

or, you can try to reinstall your custom ROM, and then full wipe data.
don't install any application except the preinstalled application built-in with ROM.
let the phone running normaly, if your battery doesn't face the problem, maybe there's some application causing that problem in your phone

ya, its the camera, now i freezed camera and evething fine, except camera.
Im still using stock rom, i dont dare to try custom rom yet, maybe after some time.
so after a new update to the cm9 i found my phone a bit slow, so i decided to downgraded it to the latest cm7 version with the matching alf kernel. after the downgrade i found my phone acting very strangely.
after turning it on, the kernel and cm logo goes on, then it turns itself off, then again, again and again until the battery drains. i cant even go into recovery mode, so i cannot use my phone obviously.
can you help me with some advice?
thx

Connect your phone is flashing mode by:
1. Keep ur mobile connected to the pc all the times.
2. Remove the back cover and the battery.
3. Wait for 10-15 seconds.
4. Press and HOLD the back button while putting the battery back in.
5. Launch PCC.
If this didnt work out, try to shortcircuit ur phone(it wont damage the hardware) by a dc charger.
Flash naa ics kernel back, then go to recovery and format data and system then you flash alfs kernel

not going to recovery in alfs &nAa kernel is "IMPOSSIBLE"
Both kernels include recovery so it should go to recovery .......
Reflash kernel / then full wipe {(important)+dalvik & system wipe}
U must always wipe when u upgrade or downgrade form ics/jb (cause whole system is different)

"then it turns itself off, then again, again and again until the battery drains. i cant even go into recovery mode"
this is what the OP said.....if the phone reboots even before entering recovery then he cannot recovery...
and under some circumstances phone wont enter recovery... one is to be on ics on oxydo kernel and then flash back alfs with the ics rom... try entering recovery.. it will reboot.

Yea, surely it's not hardbrick
Hard brick turns phone into a brick! Not turns on at all
I think It will fix by really flashing kernel

I have gingerdx v29 with nAa & my battery drains in a day without even touching the phone... (on stock rom it lasted few days longer)
I tried with changing recomended settings to save battery & cleaning battery stats in recovery mode but it doesn't help...
is there any fix or some other custom rom that I can flash to improve my battery life to a descent level ?
Tnx in advance & sorry for bothering you but I'm desperate :\

I'm not an expert on this, but I think it would be a good idea to download both CPUSpy and GSam Battery Monitor to find out what exactly drains your battery so much.
CPUSpy is to see if the sleep states activate normally as they usually would. (mine is at >80%)
GSam is to see if there are any rogue apps or system processes that eat the battery up.
Then report back here
EDIT: Also, I heard that it is recommended to calibrate your battery after you flash a new ROM. I think this can be done via recovery by wiping the battery stats.
Please check this..

Hit thanks if i helped
i gt da same problem once, so i re flash the rom, & wipe everything, after that i used " battery calibration" tool from market & used it, now everything is fine. . . .

try fresh re installation.... and before installing wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache partiotion
For save battery in lock mode try a app called juice defender.
It's really worth so......:thumbdown:
