Galaxy s battery dead our something else???

Hi guys,
yesterday my galaxy s running darky's rom 9.5 shut down for no reason and when I attempted to turn it back on I got the thinking icon then an empty battery graphic then black screen. So I plugged it in to the charger and after about 10 seconds I had the full battery graphic (my battery should have been full.) So I then take it off charge and turn it on, now it will boot and run for about 5 minutes then turn off again. Dead battery I hear you say? To test that theory I put my battery into my friends galaxy s, it works fine, fully charged with no issue. His battery works fine in my phone. Both work for about an hour. Then I swap back. Battery works in my phone this time for around 20 minutes, then same problem as before.
So after this massive story is my battery just stuffed and doesn't want to work with my phone anymore or do I have another issue??
P.s during this whole process I have reset battery stats and done a factory reset all with no result.
Thanks in advance

Sometimes bad contacts in your phone.
And sometimes motherboard problem...
I hope it's the first one!

First check would be the rom /Flash base Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked should wipe a bad rom .

ok so just a bit of an update, tested some brand new batteries and none worked.
will try updating the .pit file.
also phone will not go into recovery mode when not plugged in but will go into download mode using 3 button method.

Its not an update of the pit file .Stock rom and wipe of battery stats and two weeks use will show batery bad or not .
The rom you have has multiple bad battery posts .
You could always ask Darky for a fix .

Currently have a stock rom running and so far so good.
Hope it works.

having same problem. running liquid smooth rom on tmobile. I was using gps and phone just shut off. Now when I try and turn it on, galaxy s4 comes up then shuts off. I plugged it in to turn it on and now were bootlooping..
Cant get into recovery either :crying:

OK, finally got into recovery mode. erased erased erased. restored, and everything seems to be running smooth so far. I just wonder what the issue was with my phone not coming on. I tried the card trick. Didn't help, so I am guessing the battery connections were fine. Hopefully isnt a motherboard issue..
I haven't had any issues with the rom either at all it works great with my phone and is super smooth, but I don't think the rom would have anything to do with getting into recovery when powered off.

[Q] [ASK] HElp to find out what causing this battery drain

hi all..
2 weeks ago I finally bought my very first android based HH, GNOTE...currently I'm running on ICS LPF Taiwan unroot, and very love it. one of my concern on this ICS, is the battery drain so much, considering it just sit on my pocket.
i have CPU Spy and BBS Installed, and found that it just Deep Sleep 48% and 200MHz 37 %. Kernel Wakelock is "multipdp" 25% Power Manager Services 21,2% and secril_fd-interface 19.25.
could you please tell me what causing this battery drain so much..?

The best thing that you could do is do a Factory Reset, but with all the bricking problems it's highly discouraged. I don't recognise the processes, but you should make sure that you deleted all the apps you never use, since one of then could be causing the problems you have.

After upgrading to German ICS, also had problems with wakelocks (phone never sleeped)
Done this (posted on XDA somewhere) and it worked:
Turn Flight Mode ON
Turn Off the Phone
Take out the battery for 30 secs
Plug battery back
Turn on the phone
Wait until all is loaded and turn off Flight Mode.
Also, always disconnect from the charger with screen ON and unlocked.
After using this 2 metods, never had a wakelock again (multipdp etc)

thanks a lot for both of you....
will try these steps.....and will comeback with the result....

thanks for your answer for my question...
regarding that did you mean that i have to stop receiving email on my Galaxy Note..?? for me that's really important since i bought my note to support my daily job...
is it the main cause..? if yes, i think i should buy another battery as a way out.

I also have encountered the same problem with my galaxy note after the stock ics update in India.
I have checked out the earlier posts on the same issue..
Some users had the problems of deep sleep and some others had other problems..bt as far i have been able to understand this problem...it is associated with those apps which we often use..for eg i had been using apex launcher for so long...and it used to suck my phones battery like hell also coz of the widgets and the other things that it use.
So what i did was a simple factory reset and a data wipe and didn't install the apex launcher again.
I let my phones battery drain completely and charged it till 100% and simply rebooted it and removed the battery too. And its working good now.
Those things which suckedy battery included android system and display...i could do any thing about display but i force stopped may process of android system and results are good.
One more reason for battery drain could be that when we go backs from the apps on stock ics on galaxy note..the apps do not get closed comletely like stock web browser which works in the background too..so might be other reason for so.
Don not install those apps which u dont use often coz they might work in background add unnecessorily suck ur bettery.
Try the battery pull off trick it really works for majority of users.
Force close those apps and processes which u feel unnecessory.
Those whose claim ics doesnt work smooth on their note they pls go the develpers option in settings and enable the force GPU rendering option then it will work smooth like anything...
One more thing which u may already know about galaxy note ics is that now it runs all the tablet apps on ur note! Thats pretty amazing coz u need not root it or do anything...for me it worked with the apps like...adobe idea, adobe photoshop touch and all other adobe apps and some other tablet apps..download these apps directly from 4shared..so cheers!!!
Those who are not happy with their battery pls try factory reset and battery pull off trick...it worked for me and it might work for u too my friend...

if you are entering deep sleep at all then you aren't being affected by the bug where you have to make sure your screen is on and unlocked before pulling it off the charger.
i suffered from this bug after updating to ics lpy, but since following the guide above (flight mode, power down etc.) i've had no issues.
let your phone completely discharge, then turn it back ona dn make sure it turns off again. then fully charge it. i found this increased the accuracy of the battery a little, when i did it it dropped from 10% to 1% in around 20 mins, then i was able to use the phone for almost half an hour on 1% so obviously my battery stats weren't quite right.
if you've done a factory reset, and you're sure the phone is entering deep sleep ok, just go through a couple of complete charge/discharge cycles and see if that improves things

Analyzing is tought on android.
Printscreens of kernel wakelock and partial are better.
Partial is mostly what exactly is keeping awake
Try some of the suggestions from the numerious threads, state them here whicj didnt work and describe usage a little more detail, that way we arent shooting in the dark

i still got this issue regarding multipdp and secril_fd_interface....maybe it caused by unstable network or the fast dormancy stuff...
so i went to nearest samsung center and buy a spare battery... now i have no concern about this...but still keep on eye with l2_hsic...the flight mode on and restart will solve this issue..

I was having battery drain issues myself. Got tired of checking CPU Spy and BBS etc. Worried about bricking and wiping so I...
I rooted the phone.
Installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 via mobile odin that didnt really solve it.
I installed Abyss kernel. Wiped everything because its supposed to be a safe wipe kernel.
Then installed Criskelo rom
Then installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 again and everything was great with battery life.
You have to reinstall apps and setup your phone basically but its well worth it in my opinion. Now my only battery drain is me always messing with my phone.

I would stay away from telling people this is a safe thing to do in ICS, it's been proven many times it is not.
Maybe you have been lucky - so be thankful you're not using a paperweight...

@gayanaji - I use Criskelo's ROM and all the Samsung apps work fine. No probs here. Many of the custom ROMS are based on other Kernels that the Samsung apps do not work with. I am a bit new to this but I believe that is correct. Just make sure to use a Samsung app compatible Kernel if you decide to do it. Also another piece of advice before doing anything read a bunch to make sure you fully understand everything with regards to rooting, flashing custom ROMS etc.

[Q] Battery dying super fast after root, please help!

Ok, first, I looked around and tried stuff like battery calibration etc. but no luck, here's what happened:
I got my galaxy ace and rooted it with CF-ROOT, flashed it using the recovery menu that stock already had.
Phone was ok for 1 week, then it started sucking battery like crazy (also charges too fast), 100% lasts something like 5mins...
(at this point it was still stock with rooted kernel)
Flashed a CM ICS ROM from the forum => same results with battery
Went back to stock, no root anymore => battery still the same
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Why didn't you use the normal .zip that just adds super user? Maybe we have the same type of Ace that is completely incompatible with flashed kernels. Brings battery problems. Only kernels you can use are the ones that come with the rom you installed.
Reflash stock rom and root using any other .zip around the forums.

Because you said you charge it too fast. Try to charge it for 3 hrs. If u see 100 % that doesn't mean that it is fully charged already

Do this, full use your battery till it totally gets dry and charge it to 100% without break..note that your phone should switch off conditon while charging to 100%..

Is your battery swelled? I mean, is it bulging outside when you place the battery inside the phone?
If yes, then you need to get a new phone

What do you mean by normal zip? As I said, I flashed stock back, no more rooted kernel, but it's still draining battery, shouldn't it have gone back to normal with stock? Should I root again with this normal zip to be able to solve the problem?

Maybe your battery is "gone" (I mean cannot charge anymore). If you can try your phone with another battery borrowed from a friend or buy a new one cheap to be sure the problem is the battery and not the phone. The last option for me is to buy a new original battery a give a try. If you have a method to test the battery out of the phone is best. Good luck
Inviato dal mio GT-S5830

Do 1 thing. Recharge for a long time till 100% . Choose a stock based rom like sgs2 v10. Do full wipes, delete battery stats.bin, Format data,cache, system, sd-ext ( if any ) & flash rom. Reboot & try battery. If it's still the same, go get a new battery..

hey, try this app called nova battery tester. It will tell you a lot about your battery's condition.
You can find it on the play store.
Also check whether your phone is entering deep sleep.

I tried that, the friend's battery on my phone had the same behaviour, and my battery on friend's phone worked fine... so it can't be the battery
Why the hell it won't just work normal if I flashed stock back?

Tried recharging for long time, no luck, also tried many "battery calibration" apps also with no result.
I'm guessing buying a new battery won't solve anything either given the results with the friend's battery

Have you checked your CPU behavior ? Which states it is in, etc
Use CPU spy to find out

1. Un-root then root again using the normal method which just adds SU.
2. Try charging for 2-3 hours. Sometimes it displays 100% though the battery level might be as low as 15%
3. Do you do over-night charging/ charge for very long durations/ play lots of games during charging? In that case your battery is over-charged. Check it. It should be puffed up a bit. If this is the case then, sorry mate, but you'll just have to get a new battery. And don't ignore this problem. Trust me, as bad as it is, it's all downhill from here.

[Q] S3 mini random restart

My phone is 3 weeks old and it reboots itself randomly. There is no rule, sometimes when reading email, sms, or surfing, cold, hot....
Phone isn't rooted and has original software on, there is no sdcard in it. Warranty is still valid.
Is there something i could try before i send it to service, (tried factory reset)?
Something with Kies?
thanks

same here .. ive send it to service but they return the phone to me again with the same problem..

I have the same problem and also when phone starts after reboot it has ~20 percent less battery...I thought that these random reboots are from one of custom roms that I've installed recently, so when my phone started reboot everytime I tried to watch some video I decided to go back to stock firmware. But today after couple of hours of using I got random restart after a call ;/ Maybe later I'll try to connect phone to pc and take a look what's happening in logs during reboot. Anyone else have this issue?

Same here.... untouched device, battery draining way fast, gets to 40%-60% and randomly starts restarting.... whenever I plug it in again, battery shows 1-4%
My phone can go for a few hours on standby but as soon as I start using browser, play store, camera, etc. it drains and reboots. Can I save my battery or do I try and flush it down the toilet?
P.S. Just rooted today anticipating that I can find a solution.

I'am on Maclaws CM 11 and have still no Reboots anymore

Same issue
I'm having the same issue with my galaxy s3 mini. only thing I've noticed that it won't randomly reboot when it's in the charger. So this means it can't be the powerbutton being stuck like many others are saying on the internet. But what is the solution? I'm really a noob when it comes down to technology.:silly:
Could anybody help us out?

Same here!

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm having the same problem, the phone randomly reboots when on battery, but not whilst charging; battery status diverges wildly from reboot to reboot - it will say 60% then reboot with 5%.
Is this more likely to be a problem with the kernel and/or ROM, or the battery itself?

I have got the same issues. When I sent it to warranty, the said that the battery was badly placed. When the phone was drobet, it shaked the battery littlebit and it restarted. Thei put somekind of tape to it and worked like a dream

have same problem,batery is just down 60-5%,reboot,reboot,but thats just when mobile data on,when pull charger,no that.Buy new batery,no problem anymore

Sorry, but how can you place the battery so badly that there can get some space between the contacts?!?
Either the dimensions of the battery itself or the dimensions of the "battery-bay" are not correct (anymore?).
When everything is still original, you haven´t used a crowbar and your warranty is active, it´s imho a cheek to let you use some tape...

The case for battery was few mm too big, so the battery had littlebit too much space. It was some manufactured problem. When they put that kind of a tape, I couldn't even saw it first. It just keeps the battery steady...
