Hi All,
Please help. While I'm charging my SGS with the phone turned off, there isn't any batter charging animation (before I rooted my phone, the animation was there). The battery picture is stuck at 0% all the time. However, when I turn on the phone, the charging indication is there along with how many percent have been completed (definitely, more than 0% as indicated when the phone turned off).
How to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for the help.
If it'll help, I'm running stock FW DXJF4 rooted.
Cheers
I noticed yesterday that I'm seeing something similar.
I've also noticed that if I try going into Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager it no longer starts up directly, but instead eventually goes into the standard Recovery Manager and I have to start Clockwork Recovery manually via the update.zip file.
I'm using the JG5 based MCR r3 ROM so I may try reinstalling later.
Mimocan's market fix causes this
Thanks for that info, I'll have a play when I reinstall the OS later.

So, I assume that this is normal? And yes, I'm using Mimocan's market fix (as well as lag/stall fix). Thanks for the help.
Its because you move the system files onto the ext4 partition, a partition that only gets mounted at boot.
The market fix is optional, personally i don't use it
get to keep my battery meter that way
Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster (with a real query).
Actually last Friday my cappy started to show 100% of the battery after being for some time in use, so I reboot it trying to solve the issue.
After the boot, the cell shows the Initially Battery screen for 2 seconds with the battery without charge then turns off. Tried several times and also using a second battery with full charge and same problem persisted.
10 minutes later without having a battery inside the phone, it boots but when I rebooted the problem arises again.
This weekend I installed Illuminance 3.01, after that I have installed CM9 (very nice ROM) and the battery problem still is happening. I am able to use the phone but I don´t know for how much more.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Martin
have you tried to wipe battery stats in recovery ?

Yesterday night I did a wipe battery stats and the problem still is there.
It starts with the loop and the only way I can start the phone is plugging it then it shows the actual charge of the battery and after that I can boot.
It must be something "deeper" than the rom...
Anybody?
Thanks
Somebody can help?
I am having the exact same issue, stock froyo 2.2 rooted 5 months ago. I'm trying everything before updating to 2.3, I'll let you know if I find a fix, please do the same.
Searching google is not working this time, it's been 3 days...
Things I've tried:
1- From recovery, boot phone. Problem persists after phone is turned off.
2- Boot from revovery, then reset to factory settings, after rese, same issue.
3- Wipe cache from recovery. Problem still there.
4- Wipe cache+user data from recovery. Same thing.
5- repeating 1-4 without SD card or SIM card.
- Wipe battery data... nothing...
- Unrooting, same issue, rooted again.
- Run root fixes with Titanium backup. Same...
- Removing battery for hours, while charging it externally, replace battery, same issue.
All to no success. Things yet to try:
- Update to 2.3 using kies
- Update to beta 2.3.5 using odin
- Update to custom rom, maybe try 3 or 4 different...
- Cry, then save and buy a new phone, use cappy as shiny paperweight...
Please let me know if you could fix it...
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "initial battery screen."
But if I am to understand the rest, your problem is:
initial boot - runs fine, but battery stays at 100% no matter how long it runs.
reboot - phone now says the battery is suddenly dead, and shuts-off.
further reboots - same
You can't get the phone to fully boot till the battery is left out for a while and the phone is fully de-energized.
You have tried a different battery and it behaves the same.
- - - - - -
Have you tried using a known "good" battery? (a new one or one from someone who's phone works fine)
Also, what happens if you plug in the USB while the phone is off? (after the inital boot, when it is stuck in the "dead battery loop.")
Still dead after installing update and 2 custom roms...
Yes I tried a good battery from another cappy, if I plug in the cable it does the same, instead of normally booting, it displays an empty battery and goes off.
I am able to make it work but only entering the restore mode, so I cannot for example be on a trip and reset the phone for whatever reason...
have you tried using a different kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
sorry, but how can I try a different kernel? do i need to change the rom?
Nah, kernels can be flashed independent of ROMs just look through development for topics that have "[Kernel]" as the fist word in their title.
If you have gone and loaded two custom ROMs and it still persist then it's not a kernel issue. As the kernel is always changed along with the ROM.
That said, I can only think of two other possibilities: one being dirt or such making a short in the contacts of the usb (does it sometimes think it is plugged in when it's not), two something in the circuitry for the battery randomly went bad.
Try cleaning the socket for the usb. If that does not fix then assume the worst
leaked from my ICS- FUSED SGS I897 contaminating you via XDA app.
Ok, here's the thing, I left it without the battery for 24 hrs, then it was worst. The phone would not turn on at all. However, after that I tried putting the battery in while holding the power button, it worked!!! it's better than having to connect to the computer, but still, I don't want to have to do this every time... flashing roms now to try again.
We're getting somewhere now...
DaNaRkI could be right about it being a circuitry problem (which would suck). With that in mind, have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes? (wiping the cache/dalvik/data)? It might be worth it to go one step beyond that and format all the partitions and then reflash. I think if you do that, you could basically rule out any software problems.
Be sure to back up your data!
P.S. When you do all this wiping and formating and reflashing, boot up and check to see if the problem is still there before you put your data back on jic there is some weird corruption in your data which is causing this.
ok.
have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
yes I have, they're perfect
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes?
many times, actually
I have yet to format all partitions, how can I do that?
Thanks!!
and yes, all my data is well backed up in my PC and cloud...
---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------
this is rather odd, just tried to factory reset again, then restarted using the battery method, then... turned it off, and now it boots normally!!!
Thanks for your help !!!
I have the same problem. What exactly did you do? I use a custom rom, and I flashed stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
Formatting the partitions won't do anything, since the phone won't even turn on sometimes. So when exactly did this problem start happening? Was it after a particular flash or other incident?
Apologies for opening a new thread for this. I am unable to reply on the dev thread as I have less than 10 posts. So in reference to the following post, I'd like to contribute some experience I had in the last two weeks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627689
Across the space of two weeks, I have had a chance to note this symptom on three devices.
Device 1 SGS i9000
Rooted phone and have been on CM9 for as long as I can remember. Wake up one morning to find phone with BLN on, but no ability to wake the phone (power button, home button, volume buttons, nothing works). Popped the battery out, and the bootloop / no recovery went on forever. Had to Odin flash back to Stock 2.3.6 to start again. Since then, any CM9 (nightlies or RC2) attempted always end up in the bootloop, i.e. stock > flash rom, first boot = bootloop. I figured then if I had to go back to 2.3.6, I'd rather go to JB. First JB tried was HellyBean, and the same thing happened. It was only trying pawitp's current alpha CM10 that it worked. Days later reverted back to ICS (Paranoid Android v1.6) due to lags and bugginess.
Important to note, the CWM kernel I have gone through are 6.0.0.3, 6.0.0.8, 6.0.1.0. And Paranoid Android put me back to 5.5.0.4.
Device 2 SGSi9000
Rooted phone and have been on CM9 for as long as I can remember. Phone cut off and rebooted in the middle of a phone call and ended up in bootloop with no recovery. Exactly the same symptom attempting to get the phone back into any of the CM9 roms (nightlies or RC2). Ended putting the phone on Paranoid Android as well.
Device 3 HTC Sensation
Had a lot of trouble trying to flash CM9 on this using CWM. Random bootloop with no recoveries. CWM at that time was 6.0.0.8, which I had lots of trouble flashing Gapps on. More on this device posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786703
And finally, one other observations across all these devices. Somehow with CWM v6.x.x.x I had rather poor battery life. For instance, on CM9 Nightly 07/23, say I started with 100% charge in the morning at 8am, by 12pm, I would be looking at 80% left. Once a week, I will let the phone shut itself down on low power, and charge without switching the phone on. On any other evenings, I would plug the phone and leave it charging overnight, e.g. at 10pm with only 30% left. I have constantly noticed that within a few minutes, it jumps back to 40%, which is rather odd. A 10% charging achieved within minutes is rather unusual.
I have also noted that, when the SGS i9000s ended in the bootloop / no recovery situation, the phone can never be charged. Plugging the phone for charging will the a blank battery icon lit up, with the swirly thing on top of the icon appeared frozen and it stays that way.
Being on lower version of CWM, in this instance, v5.5.0.4., I can observe the units (observed being the keyword here) charges "normally", i.e. no funny 10% charge achieve within minutes. Also, battery life are much better as well, i.e. only 10% drain between 8am (100%) to 12pm (90%).
So, not being a developer but someone that likes to tinker and observed:
- Is it possible that newer version of CWM potentially have some impact to battery life?
- Is it possible that how CM9 is being flashed onto a phone has potential issue? I find it a bit disturbing on an initial flash from stock to CM9, I had to pop the battery out after the flash initially loads a new CWM onto the phone. Then start the flash again with the newly loaded CWM.
I am hoping all these I have experienced in a short amount of time can be helpful to potentially looking into where issue might be. Most people have one phone and tested across different kernels and ROMs. I had the luxury of testing across three devices on a narrower choices of kernels and ROMs.
For the first SGS paragraph I can relate. EVERY ROM would boot loop. I had to flash to stock With repartition ticked. And then flashed semaphore kernel, and formatted system, data and cache. Then I flashed to whatever ROM and was okay.
Also I seem to have the problem with having to pull the battery after a flash to the new recovery. Only happened a few times, but non the less, still happened. Just make sure you flash twice afterward to make sure

Yup, on every occasion I mentioned above, wipe (system/data/cache) are part of the ritual. Just didn't mention them.
I just think the battery-pulling feels rather odd. Can understand why it's needed, but just feel odd. Wondered if it'd be better to keep kernel and ROM separate, e.g. flash new kernel via Odin, then simply do ROM. This might be a 'cleaner' method perhaps? It feels almost like flashing kernel as part of the process is like modifying Windows files whilst still in Windows, then do a reboot.
For now I have fear against v6.x.x.x kernels. But will likely go back to it once CM10 is stable. We'll see.
I installed Eryigit's Android 2.3.6 ROM onto my SGP 5 and have this battery charging boot loop. Are there any solutions for this yet?
hi all, i've been having a battery calibration issue and it's getting worse, earlier whenever i charged my phone to 100 and unplugged it, it dropped to 97% or 95% but now when i take it off the charger at 100, it drops to 89% within a matter of minutes, even if i keep it plugged in for an additonal 30-40 minutes, the same happens, i'm on stock ROM , unrooted, with stock recovery, everything is stock , i have read a few threads stating that wiping cache from stock recovery can solve the problem but i'm unsure, i've been told by someone that there are various answers and opinions about this, should i wipe cache from stock recovery? can it help? even if it can't help, it wont do any harm to my phone, will it? thanks in advance

wiping cache only, wont harm your phone / OS... don't know if it will help or not though.

I just wiped cache from stock recovery, my battery level was 75% but when I booted into Rom after cache wipe, it showed 81%, I think my battery percentage has started to show actual and accurate battery level now , I think it's now showing the battery loss difference that occurs between 90-100%, I'll let you know of the result after I recharge next time
So I recently rooted and installed twrp recovery with cyanogenmods most recent nightly. It was running smooth as butter for about a week. The battery ran dead the other night so I hooked it up to a charger and it only charged enough to show the root boot and battery symbol. Then nothing it just won't charge.
Funny thing is, when I plug it in regularly I get nothing, but if I leave it plugged in, take the battery out then back in, I get the battery charge logo for a few seconds then again nothing.
Anything I can do to remedy, troubleshooting steps before I insure it?
Kernel and battery probably have nothing to do with it.
Did you install A kernel other than Cyanogenmods' built in kernel?
Anyways, to "unbrick":
Can you put the phone in to Recovery (hold all three "home, power, volume up", and let go when you see "recovery booting" in blue text. I'm assuming you have A custom recovery installed since you have cyanogemod on it.
You can work with it from there. Wipe Cache/dalvik or wipe data/factory reset to see if it comes back to life.
See if it goes in to recovery like that, than it can be saved.
There's also odin which will bring it back to stock like when you first got it. Using A Windows PC.
Odin stock/unroot tutorial: http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-unroot-galaxy-note-4-with-stock-firmware/

If you have troubles with this let me know.
I had an LG with the same issue of only showing the battery symbol, then shutting off. It's dead to this day.
Yeah I have team win recovery. I tried a few times getting it into recovery but didn't have luck.
I have only had my used Note 4 a week, but just wanted to say maybe your battery is going bad. I remember reading about some people having problems like lockups and not booting, only to discover the battery was causing it. One guy posted a youtube video about it
