every time my phone shutdown randomly , and when i restart it, my battery level is under the 10%
even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.

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

Battery Problem

My phone suddenly just shuts down when I'm using it... not a "powering off" but just out of nowhere turns off
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I've had this same issue before, so I bought a new battery last month and it worked great until just last week...
I've tried resetting the battery stats....nothing....
The battery still fully charges and shows the correct percentage when I plug in the charger to use...
Could it be the ROM or battery issue?
....I'm currently using cannon's rom... 2.2.1
Anyone know how to fix?..... thanks

Well if you have a new battery already. And it shows its good. I think it might be the rom then.

Something to take note, What are you doing when it does this?
-Surfing net on the phone
-Listening to music
-Charging
-Tethering
Keeping in mind that the phone will shut its self down (it should) if your battery starts to over heat. On my Hero the charge light flashes before it shuts down and it gets really hot to the touch. Also at higher heat temps, overall battery life suffers.
my phones shuts down usually when wifi is on and im sirfing or using youtube app or google maps(every time i use wifi for a while this happens...)
it also shuts down rarely on calls and sometimes when im trying to flash a new rom...
it doesnt powers on until i connect it on AC...
I REALLY NEED HELP...
ps:if i change the battery will my problem been solved?

it turns off randomly...even when im just browsing through the home screens... a full charge will last me like 5 minutes max.... no matter what im doing an the battery doesnt overheat at all...
and when i plug it in to the charger, it shows the correct percentage.. well at least an estimate of what it could be (for about 5 min of use before shut down= 95%)
I have the same problem, It is extremely frustrating.
The shutdowns would happen randomly during surfing the net or using google maps. It would shut down out of no where and it would be impossible to turn back without being plugged into a charger since the phone thinks it battery is at 0 even it was just charged to full before the shutdown. I tried to calibrate the battery but it would just shut down while I'm trying to burn through the charge with the screen on. This is the such a nuisance, can't even get through one day.
I am using biffmod 1.8 so I don't know if this is a rom related problem.
I'm havuing the exact same problem. Even with a full battery, the pgone will shut down when I do anything more than a text or two here and there. When I put it on the charger I will still have a significant amount of power left. I've tried doing full wipes and changing roms. I think it might actually be related to the radio. This began after I updated the radio. It would get stck on formatting the cache. I tried going back to the old radio, but the problem has persisted.. and it also got stuck on formatting cache...
I hope someone can help with this bc it pretty much renders the phone useless when it's not being charged. =\
try change the battery...this solve my prob
you could try recalibrating the battery.
let your phone die.
plug it in for so long that you are 100% sure that it is full.
boot to recovery wipe battery stats.
boot normal
use it and let it die.
recharge again until its full BEFORE booting it.
if you sure its full boot normal.
if you follow this cycle some times it should be fine.
Only issue: you have to wait long until its full and you always have to be near an ac
i've tried re-callibration.. guess i will have to get another battery..
i don't think it's the battery though bc others with the same problem said that the problem persisted after getting a new battery.. =\ we'll see.. thanks for the replies.

Random crashes with ICS roms [i9001]

Search didnt help, and cant post on development section yet.
So my problem is with pretty much all ICS roms ive tried, but currently i am running CM9 RC3.
So my phone randomly crashes, when im listening to music with apollo and dspmanager running. sometimes it just crashes in my pocket, sometimes it crashes when some one calls me while im scrolling songs etc, sometimes it just crashes without doing anything, but the weird thing is that everytime my phone crashes, theres a 50/50 chance to boot it, sometimes it boots but battery can jump from 80% to like 14% etc..
sometimes it can jump from 80% to 0% (?) and when that happens my PIN code doesnt register and the phone will just crash in seconds.
But usually i have to take battery out, wait a sec then it usually boots but battery always drops to 4-20% and starts charging on its own..
Before installing i have done full wipe, fixed permissions, calibrated battery, used CWM 5.5.0.4, tried ODIN (no luck with that either).
I flashed Broodrom (GB) And it crashed also with same problem..
Ive tried BioHazard rom, same problem, but when i flash stock ROM, no crashes..
Pls halp
E: Forgot to add, sometimes when it crashes its stuck on bootloop until i take battery out, after that it MIGHT boot, not always. But it never crashes when on charger..
So im guessing im alone with this problem
What do you mean crash??
Does it restart or apps just ForceClose??
If it restarts, does It begin from the beginning of the boot cycle or just the boot animation??
I have the exact same problem with my i9001 since 3 weeks now. It started when flashing broodrom and now happens with any ROM (I have tried a few, cleared cache, format system, etc....). Even the battery behaviour is exactly the same as you describe..
To answer the question: the phone restarts from the Samsung boot screen. IF anybody has any clue, it would be great to hear... It's a very annoying issue I can tell you!
Thanks in advance!

Thats something you should take note: your battery is most likely dying.
I had the same exact issue: Started with the stock ROM, flashed Paranoid but it continued. Took it to service (with a stock ROM), came back re flashed and wiped. The same thing continued, no matter what ROM I was using so i figured it had to be a hardware problem.
I noticed that my battery had swollen a bit, like 1-2 mm so that I could see it easily: the battery should be flat, mine was not. Borrowed a battery from a friends I9001 and got no crashes after 15 minutes of heavy use: problem solved!
Bought a new battery and haven't had a problem since.
The battery has only 6 months warranty and my phone was a year old, I kept the old one as really crappy spare battery.
Sorry guise, forgot to post here!
I bough a Polarcell 1800mAh battery and no more crashes, my old battery had swelled, if yours is also its pretty easy to notice, i just put my credit card on top of the battery to check it.
So yeah, you have this problem, new battery, thats all.

Hi. Thanks for the quick replies!
I have actually just tried to exchange batteries with a friend having the same phone --> his phone crashed, mine did not anymore. I then saw by carefully looking at the battery that it had indeed maybe a 1mm swell in the middle. Just ordered a replacement one. I am confident this will fix the issue.
Again, thanks for your reaction.. Nice to see the responsiveness of this forum!
Cheers,
G.

If its the exact same problem, you need to change battery and test or try connect to charger and test
i have same problem mostly with app using gps.
today i have installed the new app game from google called ingress and it makes my phone always.
i found a new battery and i will try if something will change.
lately my crashes happens very more often i am using a gigabread+ rom and cwm recovery, but was quite the same when i was in stock .
(sorry for my english)
I got same problem with my phone, first phone gets frozen/stuck and then reboot itself from bootscreen. This was totaly random issue. After trying several roms, and kernels, underclocking cpu, I found that problem is in external sdcard. I think this is battery related issue. After unmounting and removing external sdcard, reboots gone, and battery lasts at least 20% longer. Im not using my phone like external storage, so I dont miss external sdcard, I got quite enough space on internal.
Problem fixed!

I found out that my SIM card was corrupted and caused my phone to be unable to boot. And the random shutdowns with sudden battery drains were fixed by changing the battery

[Solution] Flickering screen, poor battery backup, sudden discharge [n7000, Note]

A month or so back I started facing weird problems with my year old Galaxy Note, n7000:
1. After reboot, the battery would go down by 15-20% and then without charging the battery %age would gradually increase by 5-10%
2. lots of flickering on screen followed by auto shutdown whenever the battery %age went below 15-20% after normal usage
3. Very poor battery backup (I blamed most of this to the Rom Mods I had been installing at that time- only partially correct!)
I am sure that many of you might have been facing such problems and running from forum to forum to get a solution- I did.
Solution:
Get your battery replaced- most of us have had our Note for a year and some months now...life of the battery is approx 1 year for regular use, thus, the stock battery that we got with our Note is well past....
I never faced the above problems after battery replacement!
Hope this helps others like me!!
I started having this problem after getting a new battery, my old battery which was weak never showed flickering. But this new one which is original samsungs battery at below 15% show flickering and sudden discharge despite a good battery time.

I'm on the very same situation. Battery that cames with NOTE is exhausted now so I have got a new one just to find out now problem is even worse!! It can begin flickering with 40% juice battery!
The new replacement battery seems to be 100% samsung's original but... who knows??

I got rid of the damn problem after getting new ones...Is it possible that the batteries you bought are not genuine/fake?
Which ROM are you on- the Stock one or some mod-rom?
When I was searching for a solution to my battery issues some members suggested battery-calibration and full charge-full discharge cycle to get rid of the problem. Both the solutions suggested at that time did not work for me.
There was also a solution about cleaning the mini-USB connector which gets seriously dirty collecting grime from our pant pockets! That did work for me initially when the battery was good.
Please let me know if any of the above helps you.

Guys - Me too have the same issue, but this started immediate after updating the Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It never happened while on official ICS.
I could observe the battery is very much thick now, which is a symptom of over charging. The screen flickers and brings phone down abnormally.
After connecting the charger for a 5 seconds, suddenly the battery level shoots to original state from where it went down. Most frustrating, it happens very frequently.
I am not sure if the same will persist even after replacing with a new battery. Or I would need to go back to ICS again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
If the battery is bloated then it's better to get a new one.
Erm... is this thread still up?
I just wanted to know if the bloated battery would cause boot issues, stuck on the model screen?
I would guess the problem is with the bloated battery's voltage is insufficient to power up the systems... i guess
I need confirmations... thank you in advance

That never happened to me with a bad battery. What version of Android are you running?
i changed my battery just a two weeks before and the battery backup has decreased very much
can someone help me how to check whether my battery is in good shape or not ?
What do you mean with "battery backup"? Maybe "capacity"?

4.1.2 xxlsz deodexed by eybee
The problem is, after I restored most of my data, apps and system data separately, the screen flickers a little bit and then the restore process completed without any problem. After that I restart the phone, stuck at the model screen only for unknown reason. The data is also from previous xxlsz which I had trouble with some system app crashed but fixed by returning to another backup though.
So, currently I'm leaving the phone without any data restored, only stock fresh out of the box xxlsz with titanium backup only installed. So far the phone is quite stable, I've turned off the adaptive power adjustment in display as well as lowest brightness just in cast it might occur again.
I've been reflashing xxlsz a lot this morning, over 3-5 times due to stuck in boot logo and model screen. Even though flashed the latest philz 4.90.8, it would just revert back to the old philz 4.8x with cwm 6.0.2.8
One last thing, my batter bloated pretty bad about half of it has been expanded. I mean from the bottom part (no copper connections), half of it has reached out of the body.
Well,
hppend to me b4, flickering issue below 10%. It was bloated. Bought new one. Bloated again after 6months. Again, bought a new one and it can last only 7 hrs without switch on data.
This is what we get from massive production company.

2. Screen flickering
3. Auto shutdowm
Used the battery in my wifes n7000 , however no issues at all
Only seem to happen on my phone.
I flashed it to stock std 4.1.2 , however problem still persist. auto shutdown few times a day
Gets worse when i use an external SD
@amogh you can check your battery voltages and battery temperature and compare that to optimum values. you can also use apps like AnTuTu battery tester.

Flashing another rom again wont solve much of the problem, if you happens to have the phone stuck in around bootloop and able to go into cwm, brace yourself, this process can get very repetitive to solve because a mere battery able to do such a problem. I had these experience before about 2 months ago before buying a new battery. Hope this link helps you understand a bit more of the battery

[Q] Strange Crashing+Boot Loop Behaviour

Hi all,
Hoping I can get some assistance. I've been using a stock 4.04 ICS ROM (kernel LRK) with a rooted Notecore kernel for the better part of a year without any issues.
My problems started a few days ago when I noticed that my battery wasn't lasting as long as it normally does. I turned off the phone and recharged it fully, then reset the battery stats but it didn't alleviate my problems, instead a few hours later while trying to browse some website, I noticed a terrible screen flicker followed by a soft crash (as in the phone turned unresponsive, screen was off for a few minutes and then restored to lock screen on its own) and I noticed that my battery went from 68% to 18%.
I tried using the phone and the same thing happened again, this time the battery showed 5% remaining and soon after the phone turned off completely as if the battery was completely drained. I put it on charge overnight. When I tried turning on the phone, it was stuck at the boot screen and would not finish loading.
Since I was using an emmc erase disabled kernel, I factory wiped/flashed to a stock Jelly Bean ROM and managed to restore my phone for the most part. It was working correctly while I was trying to set things up until I got to linking my google account (I had skipped this during set up)to download my contacts and settings.
The phone crashed (for the lack of a better term) as soon as my contacts and settings were loaded and now is stuck in a boot loop.
Battery shows about 70% charged.

usually i think its because of how every person use the charging procedure. if you leave you phone on charge for a long time even when its full.. it reduces the life of battery ... this i have seen on lot of phones..

[Q] [help needed] erratic battery levels on mi3w

I am facing a battery problem. whenever i reboot or boot into recovery, the battery level randomly falls down about 10 to 20 percent.. also, if i connect the charger after a discharge, the battery starts charging from 0 but when i boot the phone, sometimes it just charges up straight to 15 percent or 20 percent.. if i disconnect the charger and start using the phone, the battery starts discharging normally and continues till zero again (sometimes it jumps straight from 3 percent to zero).. dont understand whats going on..
actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..
Delete batterystats.bin
Or install battery calibration app from play store

Actually, let me tell you what happened yesterday.. I was using the phone, so the battery came down to 0 and the phone switched off.. I connected the charger, so the phone went started charging from 0 percent.. Fair enough.. But when i switched the phone on.. (Booted into android) the battery level went straight to 12 percent.. So, i disconnected the charger and was able to use the phone for some 15 minutes. After that, the battery fell down to 0 from 5 percent.. Then, i allowed the phone to charge for some time.. It reached the level of 64 percent. And then i deleted the batterystats.bin and rebooted.. The battery level went to 86 percent straight..
So what i suspect is.. I dont have a battery problem since if i loose charge after a reboot, i get that back during charging..
And i dont know why but this problem occurs more often when i boot into the recovery.. Any guesses why recovery is causing this ?

The same thing is happening to me too right now in cm13. So i reverted back to miui where the battery jump doesn't happen but while using normally battery discharge is erratic like it goes from 32 to 20 in a minute. This happens a lot more when charge is below 20 percent. while using normally when the battery is at 100, it goes to 80 after 1 hr of usage but 20-0 takes 10 minutes in cm13.
i have tried calibrating the battery many times to no improvement whatsoever.
As you said when the battery discharges completely the phone turns off. Now when i plug into the charger and boot it to cm13 the battery indicator shows 19 or 23 or some random number
Did you find any fix for this erratic behavior ?
- If you're using custom kernel, stop using it and revert to stock.
- Either dirty flash (to revert the kernel)+use/wait until the battery's ran out+charge it while turned off, OR clean flash without using custom kernel

I'm not on any custom kernel and I tried charging the phone without booting to Android. Still no change :crying:

Yes 2 days ago I wiped everything including internal storage and installed cm13
So you don't have this issue ? Which ROM are you on right now?
Somehow it feels like twrp is causing this cause whenever I boot to recovery there is a battery drop by 2-3 percent or suddenly the battery shows 60 or something like that instead of 30 or whatever the correct value is

I'm on AOKP currently, swtching from CM13 since I wanted to try it. I got the same problem seldomly, but that's because of custom kernel keep on borking the battery calibration.
If I were you, I'd started searching for a new battery, just in case it was dying out. If my memories serves me right, before I need to replaced my battery because of short bootloops, my battery's level also started to jump haphazardly without any reason.

maybe now it's the time to change the battery
btw I don't have those problems but I have huge drain while the phone is idle.

Maybe my battery has become faulty but I still feel this is a software problem because since I moved from twrp 3.0.2-0 and cm13 to twrp 2.8.7.0 and aokp the battery jumps have become less frequent but they are still there.
If it was a software problem I think most people wouldn't notice as they won't use their phones till the battery discharges completely all the time.

bad news my friend, my mi3 started doing the same, a week later I was taking some pictures and then suddenly it started to bootloop or only boot to fastboot mode. The only solution was to replace the battery. I hope is not the same with your phone. Good Luck
Hmm.. But this thing started with me in just 6 months after buying the phone.. Also, the screen on time i get is more or less the same as others.. So i dont think so that my battery is bad.. I have tried calibrating it many times but no luck.. And for some reason, my battery always jumps from 13 percent to 10 percent directly :laugh:
having the same problem since i flashed MM roms. If the battery only left 10% , it will drained in minutes
Same problem with me.
I was having similar problems! Until later on I came to the conclusion that my phone was not getting charged correctly! I was and am using OEM charger! So charger problem was out of the question!
Then I thought that it might be the battery problem, since the phone is now 2 years old! I disassembled my phone out of curiosity to check the status of the battery, has it swelled or leaked! Turns out that the charging port was dead! The litmus dot over the the charging port had turned to pink, symbolizing that some water or moisture had entered in somehow! I went to the nearest Xiaomi Service Station and ordered for the part!
You too can check if this might have happened to your phone too!
