Battery Issues... Sudden death

Hi everyone.. I need some help with this problem.
This is what happened .. Last night before going to sleep i checked the time on my kaiser, then made sure no applications were running and pressed the power buton (for sby). The battery was at 79%. This morning the phone was switched off. When i press the power to turn it on the battery was fully drained and completely dead. This is not the first time this has happened. And it doesnt matter at what charge the battery is. IT JUST HAPPENS... By the way i have it in flight mode since i never use it as a phone. I contacted the rep in my country and said they can check it out, but i would prefer avoiding the 2 weeks waiting...
ANY ideas...
Thank you all

Either there is something wrong with your battery or you've got software installed which drains your battery all the time.
Disable or uninstall monitoring programs or third party apps that can cause battery drain.
Did you install new apps recently?

ive had that issue once, gave me a rlod!
i basically ran pocket mechanics file cleanup...
took a while so i gave it 5 minutes, then bam! battery dead and had then saw the infamouse rlod. i was scared ****less
but after a ressurection with aid of some htc guy,
i had to hard reset(many of the files became corrupt) and it never happened again.
sooo try a hard reset

can you explain the ressurection with aid of some htc guy?
thx

Hi everyone.
Thanx for the replies. Well i havent installed any software lately and the only monitoring software i have is the battery status which i dont think is the problem since the reason i installed was these sudden deaths...
is there any way to find out if a certain app drains power when in standby mode?

Battery suddenly dropping happened to me twice... re-charged the battery and had no more issues concerning battery dropping. Possibily, it's some kind of app that keeps on running even though task manager does not trace it... That's my point.
To see whether your Kaiser is consuming more power than needed, close all running apps and leave it on until it reaches the idle power consumption (my Battery Status says 40-50 mA).
Also, complete discharge-charge cycle could help re-calibrate the battery gauge.

[Q] problem of 4.0.3 ROM German version, unrooted

I have encountered a problem and need some help pls...
I recently flashed to 4.0.3 official rom German version (not leaked version), unrooted. I downloaded the firmware from samsung-updates.com, upgraded the phone, everything worked fine.
However, i found out recently that sometime if i left phone idle, the battery drains really quickly. say if i charged it up to 100% and left it over night, next morning, it will only have 60% left.
firstly, i went to Settings, then Battery, i found out even when the screen is OFF, the is still keep on "awake" -ing, i then downloaded CPU spy, i can see that when the battery drains quickly, CPU was constantly operating in 200MHz, something must be running in the background all the time.
I also downloaded betterbatterystatus, i have checked the wakelocks, everything worked fine.
I wonder if any of you guys have the same problem.
This does not happen often, and i believe restart the phone can "cure" it temporarily, but it will come back you dont know when...
btw, i have turned off google+ services.
please help and excuse my English.
Thanks

You have Wifi on? Or added a new app recently? I usually reboot my phone when I install a new app since last time I installed a new app there was battery drain issue.

This helped making my phone deep sleep and decreasing battery drain
0.go to settings > sound and turn off touch sounds and screen lock sounds
These steps stop the kernel wakelock 100% problem:
1.turn on aeroplane mode
2.turn off device
3.take out battery for 10 seconds
4.turn on device
5.wait for everything to load
6.turn off aeroplane mode

Take a look at this blog article

I had the same issue and solved it by doing the following steps:
1. Allow a charge to 100% to occur
2. Before you unplug the charger, unlock your phone to the homescreen
3. Restart your phone
After doing this, I noticed my phone goes into deep sleep and my battery lasts longer throughout a day.

Mine did that, but I did the charge up, airplane mode, shutdown trick and it
fixed it.
Got a friend on an older galaxy captive, he finally got around to upgrading to GB,
and his was rooted before the update and he forgot to unroot before the update.
After the update, part of the old root program was running all the time sucking his battery down. After he figured out a way to get rid of it, the problem with battery drain stopped.
If the charge, airplane, shutdown trick doesn't work, download something like CPU Spy and see what's taking up the battery. Could be something left over from GB still running.

I was having a heating problem when charging the device (Battery temperature above 46C) and huge battery drain.
This was fixed after following the above steps.

[Q][CM9][BUG] Battery percentage icon stuck

Hi everyone!
Two days ago, I installed the latest GalaxyICS rom for Galaxy Ace (Nightly 10/06/2012), it's awesome indeed but when I charge the phone when it's turn on the battery percent icon stucks on 55%. If I reboot the phone it shows the real percentage, but again stuck... Anyone can confirm this?
I don't know if this only happens to me
PS: If I turn off and charge the phone at 100% and turn on it, the percentage icon shows 100%
EDIT: Sometimes the icon freezes... I don't know if this has a solution :/

Maybe a bad flash..Try reflashing the rom..or simply flash without wiping..

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

[Q] [ICS]Automatic shut down problem

I have used Tonyp 28g, Topogigi 30a and Dj 30a,
i look over the thread but no one get auto shut down problem(maybe i miss out..)
Problem only occur when i use ICS.
cm7/9/10, gb, froyo didn't have this issue.
My phone will shut down after a time in standby mode,
i don't know how long standby the phone will shut down, but occur under 50% battery mostly.
I can switch on it after shut down without charging and having more than 20% battery left.
Attached pic are the battery status, when the battery drop to 0% it will shut down. in first photo i just accidentally screen on the phone and it stopped to drop, back to normal.
Sorry for my bad english
could i use lumberjack to logcat the problem?is it locate at lastkmsg?

try again a fresh install,den after boot once then boot to recovery wipe dalvic,battery stat,then fix permission.. if you use topo build,flash the other kernel.. after a 1st boot from clean install..

auto matic shutdown happen for me also with ICS. the frequency is like in 2 or 3 days. once. waiting for some sort of solution

sometimes i got this problem when i tried to flash my phone to 3-4x a day!!!

Even I have this problem, it happens daily to me only when I am sleeping, I was facing this problem with all ics rom, If your phone is fully charged then it does not shut down, I have tried fresh install wiped dalvik cache, battery stats but nothing helps.

thanks for the advice, but it doesn't help,
may be i have to keep my phone battery above 50% at outdoor,
may be i can just plug in the phone most of the time even sleeping,
may be i should wait for LG/dev bugfix, since i have already wait one and half year for cm10 and ICS, wait is what i can do
just hoping my o2x can hold on until i buy nexus 4 at a reasonable price
