Phone Acting weirdly - Flickering, Battery issues, Random Restart - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep shifting from rom to rom but never had a problem. Recently after I shifted to Utacka's PA I have been having issues with the phone. Sometimes the battery charge drops to zero suddenly. Sometimes the phone screen flickers with bands across the screen and sometimes it just restarts on it's own. Even after shifting to Alliance's JB i get the similar issues. PLEASE HELP

Pullout the battery, is it bloated? Download betterbatterystats and check for what's using the battery most at these times, first place to start in guess.

Time to say goodbye to your battery and buy a new one

The battery is a little fatter in the centre. I just hope its a battery issue and not some corrupt motherboard..

Does your phone think its charging even when not plugged in. If so it's your USB charge flex board. It would show as battery plummeting to zero charge indicator flashing on off and in settings about phone status it would switch from charging to disconnected

Battery drain after restarting note on 4.0.4

My battery has been sluggish right after updating 4.0.4. Right after restarting my device, i left only 20% of battery instead of 90% before restarting. Im getting sick n tired of samsung. Thers always a problem after software update. Im wondering wether they ever tested their software before releasing it to consumer. LOUSY

Calibrate your battery.
Let it empty untill blackout. Take out battery for 2 min then put it back again, and charge it to full, do not push the on button while charging.
My suggestion is to install and SPYCPU podesiš processor clock so you would not spend the battery more than they need. We also have a large selection governo, naćićeš best balance of performance and battery life.
Thanks jonpaslim! i will try to do that and will update the results

The total of 1 week I was on both OS builds I had these issues that I identified to be the battery:
Facebook
GPSD
and then not going into deep sleep (the phone gets warm)
Badass Battery (now another name, but you can still search Badass battery) and BBS (Better Battery Stats) helped me.
Thanks zkye.
So far i hv been using pretty alot of apps. Been using carat,netqin and cpu spy. Well the batt is still i would say average.. Im wondering how to read this thing on cpu spy. Especially the deep sleep graph. Is it sufficient? Or am i doing the wrong thing or what?

You can check version in settings, then about phone in bottom Guess you are on stock. Be carefull wiping, factory resetting and deleting large files as kernel can trigger a bug in emmc chip, corrupting partitions.
good you started analysing root causes. Always best case.
now if you dont care for warrantee you can follow directions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29139461 to get back to starting point of install. Or to install the awesome speedmod kernel.
Alteratively you can add apps one by one and together with battery usage analysed you can fin culprits. With tools like betterbatterystats, cpu spy and badassbattery monitor

did you try re-calibrating your battery?
Hi xfox,
Done with calibrating as in let it empty, take out the batt for a while then turn it on again. It seems okay for now. Is there any other way instead? Im sorry for asking this stupid question again and again. And thank to all of ya for replying my so called newby question. Lol.

Thanks baz,
How i wish i could use those speedmod kernel and so on. Well im quite afraid to root it cuz im not too sure that im gonna use this phone for a long time. As the phone value will decrease if i void the warranty. But thx for replying my post tho. As for now im still monitoring my batt behaviour.

Galaxy Note problem
When I got my Galaxy Note, the battery used to last for 10 hrs on GB. After upgrading to ICS, that time dropped to 8 hrs. And after ICS updates, it went down to less than 4 hrs since it was discharging much fatser than charging, and it was the same whether I used the original power charger or direct USB cable.
The original charger is an adapter + USB cable.
Everything went fine when i changed the USB and used the one originally used to charge the Sony 3D glasses.
Now it's charging normally and the discharge rate is around 8% /hr with WIFI and mobile data ON.
Hope it will work for you.

how long you have left it on the charger?
just connect a charger to a phone, and leave it for a while, it will wake up...
I charge it overnight, no use, its weird, maybe I'll send to service center.

Does the note 2 have the same size of battery? If yes you could try that only if it's the same
Not same, tomorrow I'll try buy a new battery first if its ok if still not then to service center

One such incident was reported elsewhere in the forum. The phone won't wake up or recovery mode. But the phone was able to go into download mode. So the guy flashed gb rom thru pc Odin.

I bought a desktop charger and charge the battery first, its all ok now, seems my note have problem if battery completely depleted so cant charge with the phone directly, now I can charge the phone directly as long as battery is at least 1% .

Battery drain while charging after new rom install

I recently installed the latest version of Paranoid Android running Jelly Bean 4.2. Since then I've not been able to charge from usb or car charger. Charging from the wall socket works but is SLOW.
I'm stumped as to what the problem is, Google and the paranoid android thread haven't helped so I really am at a loss.
Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Have you tried make battery calibration ?
It's a known issue after flashing a new ROM.

The simplest way to do is power off you GN. Plug it into a power supply for recharge. When the level reaches to 100%, unplug and get out the battery. Wait for 5 minutes before put back the battery into the GN. Then restart it.
Otherwise get an appli like Battery Calibration, recharge the battery until 100%, the start the appli to calibrate it.

But that sounds like I calibrating the battery itself. I use multiple batteries with my GN. Would it have an effect or am I doing something within the phone itself? Because both batteries drain while charging.
Also if I should do this then should I keep the charger plugged into the GN while I've taken the battery out?

No,unplug the charger.
I also have 2 batteries. Often, but not always, after a new ROM flash, battery recharge takes long time when the GN is On.
In such case I have make calibration for all my batteries. For each new ROM, calibration once for each battery is sufficient.

Strange shut down on Low battery

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.

This is a problem with our ageing GN. Use a small thin flat screw driver and gentlely lift the middle plate at the usb port then use alcohol and small toothbrush clean the usb port, wait till it drys up then bootup. Cheers
