Hi. My galaxy tab Verizon is running cyanogenmod 9 Rc1. My battery has been jumping from 30 percent to 3 percent for the last week or so. Today I recalibrated it. It now goes from 17 to 3. It was fully charged when I did it. I did it again. Same result. Is my tab dying? Should I replace it or take it to Verizon?

Nor i were.infact mine was in warranty.i even show this problem to samsung service center they change somthng called IFC.it become normal for a month or two then again show same problem.actual problem wasnt IFC, bt in its changing procedure even they disconnect n reconnect battry connector which solve problem for some time.
I read somewhere its a battery issue.bt who cares now i have a method to overcome it.
its worth opening ur tab.check out videos on youtube nt a difficult task n now i need less then five mins to revive my battery again.

Well maybe it's a battery stats problem........
I had this problem but never got stressed.....but when the battery stats stuck on a certain % ,I panicked big time.
well I have posted a thread with solutions for this problem.....and that cured both battery stats stuck and the battery draining instantaneously.....worked for me.....never had this problem after that

I had same problem six months ago and I had tried everything. But every time, the problem came back again after a short period of time. Finally I had to buy a battery on eBay two months ago. After replaced the battery, the problem has never shown up again.

if you follow the instruction carefully you won't break it. It's actually very simple. after unscrew, just use an expired credit card to pry it open. Don't use any metals.
follow the fixit or directfix instruction. They are the best!

Indeed its a battery fault bt despite showing fake status there isnt any problem in charging or backup.
thats y i didnt bother to buy new one n will stretch this one by disconnecting method.
Start opening it from bottom corner after removing screws.

I use my tablet instead of my netbook for traveling right now. The tablet is so portable and have all the functions that I need for traveling. I couldn't stand the battery problem any more as it was so frustrating that I couldn't use it while I needed it the most. I didn't send it back for warranty repair because I already rooted and installed the Overcome. The battery is only $16 to $24. It took a little bit guts and dexterity to take out the cover. The back cover is actually quite sturdy and is not that easy to break. I even drilled out the screw heads because I don't have a special screw driver. But I am happy after replaced the battery. My tab is much dependable and reliable.
Hi all!
Today my phone just stopped at school for no reason. I checked the clock on it and after a few minutes I wanted to check it again, but this time I got no response from it. I thought it just freezed. So I pulled the battery out and put it back after a few mins. But no response. After I got home, I plugged it the wall charger, but nothing happened. No battery indicator, not even the little circle. Have you got any ideas what just happened to my phone?
is the model i9000 and not i9300?
Just wanted to make sure because I've had similar issues with i9300.
Nope. It's the first generation Samsung Glaxy S. The one with the AMOLED display not even the I9003, so the one with the S-LCD screen.

Ok.
I guess it's out of warranty then...
What ROM and Kernel did you have?
I had the latest Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly and the latest Devil kernel.
But I rented a USB JIG today and I hope it will fix it.

Seems that there's been some hardware problems with i9300. Dunno if something wrong with i9000 also.
If you love your i9000 that much, fix it. If not, buy i9300 §

Good News. They successfully repaired it and it was cheap. They said I used Galaxy Ace modem driver which is weird, because I used that modem driver since I bought the phone.

Any news about your SGS ? Let me know. I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG? Is there any way around ?
Hello,
I've recently started having a strange issue with my Galaxy Note. The screen starts to ranomly flicker like crazy and then the device turns off. When I restart the phone it shows that I have 1% battery... which is not true because if left alone the phone starts to "magically" charge on its own over the course of the next 15-30 minutes. I've read that the flickering screen occurs when the battery is low and the screen tries to maintain its brightness, but this isn't my case as i've had this happen even at 80% battery charge.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've already tried restoring to factory settings to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
Yep, I experienced this last month. I had my galaxy note for just over one year when I started to have this problem.
Sent it back to Samsung and they fixed it free under the two year warranty (EU law). It seems to be an issue they are aware of. My battery now lasts a couple days and everything is back to normal. 4 day turn around for the repair straight to my door.
Give Samsung customer service a call A.S.A.P.
Good luck!

The S2??? I would prefer the S3 or Note 2. Jelly bean will probably be the last update for the S2 and possibly the N7000!
Make sure when you call the service department that you explain the issue as you have here on the forum... Don't say that you think the battery is gone... As with my repair it wasn't the battery... They said they changed a chip set or something like that.... Plus even if it is the battery, they are more likely to just replace it for free if you plead ignorance!
P.S. The best way to say thanks is to use the "thanks" button next to my post!

Dear bro..
My note n7000 have same issue.. Did you got it fixed? Help me please...
New battery. Why don't you read what is written before?
Hi everybody,
I was (am?) running CM 10.1 for a couple days just to see how it was, and it was nice. I was going to make it my daily driver until I got a call while the phone was in my pocket and suddenly, the ringing stopped. I took the phone out of my pocket and tried to unlock it. No cigar. It must have powered off. Pressed and held. Nothing. Bootloader? Nope. Try under the halogen work lamp. Nope. No charging light, no splash screen, nothing. Just a brick.
How is it possible for the phone to just brick itself like that? I remember setting the max clocking speed at 1.5ghz and the governor to "conservative" but that's really it. Plus I had rebooted a couple of times between then and now. I ddon't have many apps, let alone many that have root access. So what's up?
Please help me. I give my battery 15 maybe 24 hours before it dies and I can't boot.
Oh yeah. I don't have S-off, I got my version of CM from get.cm, no custom kernel, or any mod of any sort. The phone was not actively doing anything, except for sitting in my pocket. I held the power button and the power + volume for a good 20-30 seconds.
EDIT: Is my only option to play dumb and ask for warranty? D': I don't want to do that because the rep who traded in my GS2 noticed that it was rooted. I'll probably get denied.
Seriously, anybody? What are my options? What caused this? Is it my fault?
I wish I had some insight on why that happened to you or how to fix it. What I can say is that I was thinking about flashing my first AOSP rom in the near future but was iffy on it. Now I'm super iffy.
I suppose there is a possibility that it was not software related. Maybe the phone is just a clunker? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself can comment.
try posting this in the CM 10.1 forums and you will get a result. sorry.

That's a possibility, and what I'm thinking too. Surely someone would have noticed if their phones blew up when they received a call right? The phone wasn't doing anything I hadn't done before (i.e. receiving calls).
You think Sprint will replace it? It's pretty much mint other than the software.
And there is no HTC One Cyanogenmod forum yet.
EDIT: So is it safe for me to go to the store and tell them it crapped out on me? Will they be able to tell that I rooted it?
Have you tried using the HTC charger that came with the phone and letting it charge for for an hour? If the phone got completely discharged it may take up to 10 minutes just to lite up/

First off, Lithium ion batteries do not completely discharge, ever. If they do, they are ruined. Your phone will turn off before it lets the battery drain.
Second, I had at least 80% charge left when it bricked this morning. But what the heck, might as well.
EDIT: Wow. I googled hard bricks and pretty much every case is some kind of update or flash gone wrong. Nobody was just walking around when their phone bricked. This is weird. Considering how rare hard bricks are and the fact that the only apps with root access I had were Ti, File Manager, Spirit and Nova, I'm inclined to believe this is a hardware issue. But I can't be sure.
Bumping. I only have a little while before my charge runs out.
Hmmm, do you know, or have an idea what the battery life was when the incident occurred?
==
EDIT: Oh I see...
I unplugged it about 3 maybe 4 hours before it bricked. It had maybe an hour of screen time then. I'm assuming I had around 80% when it bricked. I have no idea how much power the device is currently consuming. But if it's truly bricked, prolly not much, so it'll last for a while.
If it isn't truly bricked, then probably not that long...
Guys, I'm desperate. I'll try absolutely anything.
All right, it seems like I'm done. This device is toast. Even though it seems like I didn't make any mistakes. I know that almost for sure because my phone was ringing when it bricked at 12:36 P.M. today.
Based on what I've said, does anybody think I am COMPLETELY to blame for this? I don't want my conscience to eat me alive when I take this is for warranty and play dumb. I truly believe this has nothing to do with rooting/custom ROM. I really believe this is a defective phone. Am I wrong?

Ok I just read your thread and was wondering. did you get your 150 back?
Either you and I are incredibly unlucky or the m7spr cm 10.1 is suicidal.
Just a question. in general, what setting were you using? Anything similar to mine? I had also set notification light to "long". how about you?

I was told I would be refunded on my next bill so i'm waiting it out to see before I send back the bricked one. no i was stock-cm and what I mean by that is i installed cm10.1 added my apps, set up my home screens and used it like that until it died. i changed nor tweaked any of the settings from cm defaults
The same thing happened to my room mates HTC One yesteray. I first installed CM, and it was getting extremely hot, so I decided to try rootbox, similar issue, and the device was discharging far too fast. He turned the phone off to wait for me to get home so I could try to fix it. I got home, and there was no sign of life, it was charged fully before he turned it off. It wouldn't turn on at all. I had him take it to sprint and do warranty, they said they needed to open it(LAWL). He went back an hour later, they couldn't open it of course. They handed him a new phone.
Have you tried plugging it into a pc to see if it recognizes anything in device manager? Checked adb devices and fastboot devices?
I have. And nothing. No charge no power no recognizing

I flashed Paranoid Android after wiping ARHD 10.2, everything installed perfectly, phone was working great until I was listening to Pandora and checking Facebook..then my SIM card became unreadable and I had to take it out and put it back in, when I turned my phone back on it had gone from 42 percent battery to 4 percent, then 2, then dead. I charged it for a little while before going out for dinner, I came home and it wouldn't turn on, and it won't charge now whatsoever.
What the ****?
Alright, this will sound silly but place the phone in front of a light so that the sensor picks it up then try to turn it on. Will have to hold the power button for a while but it should turn back on. Or, if it won't, also try booting into your hboot. Reason for this is so you can't accidently turn on your phone in your pocket or something like that. It's been a while since I read this, I could be wrong but this won't hurt your phone so just give it a try

Yes, tried two chargers in two outlets along with USB only charging, none work. Both chargers worked this morning.
That happened to me today. Literally the exact same thing.
My solution:
Step 1. PANIC LIKE A MOTHA F******
Step 2. Contemplate spiking unibody sexiness into pavement because unibody is functionally retarded.
Step 3. Take a deep breath and remember why you love her...
Step 4. Hold down power button for 10 seconds or longer.
Step 5. Plug usb cable that came in your box into your device.
Step 6. Quit whimpering, people can hear you.
Step 7. Plug into PC. Watch for tiny red light at top of phone.
Step 8. Wait about 30 min.
Step 9. ??????
Step 10. PROFIT! !

Followed your steps for 30 seconds of holding the power down, plugged in stock USB to phone, plugged into PC. Nothing. Black.
Sent HTC an e-mail, my phone shouldn't over-heat and brick while using Facebook and pandora and that's it. I'm about to swap this **** for a S4 and stop being a HTC fanboy. I'm upset.
Not every unit provided by manufacturer can be perfect. By the end of the day its electronics and something can go bad. If you feel s4 is better than get a s4. HTC One will be happy to leave you. I'm sorry for being rude and sarcastic but it is what it is.

You shouldn't quickly jump to conclusions in my opinion. Just get a replacement set and see how it goes. If it still has problems then you can go for S4 or whatever device is out there. Of course in the end it's your decision but I'm just saying that you shouldn't cloud your decision just because of one defective set.

Makes me wonder if they didn't do something to the safe charging capabilities, although I would think that stuff is in the hardware, not the ROM.
It seems if it was the base that's being used we would have a LOT of devices going down so can't really speculate the cause. I shouldn't have posted above in such a suggestive manner.
I don't imagine the rom would be stopping the phone from charging as the kernel etc is not loaded until after hboot, charging is dealt with well before this sequence in the boot process.
To be fair it sounds like a hardware failure, maybe an overheating issue, possible caused by the rom and many other factors but that's the risk you take flashing experimental 3rd party software to your device. I don't thing you will ever know, your not even getting a uart mode which to me says fried PCB..

This is indicating that for the time being, there is something seriously wrong with 10.1 builds and it's dangerous to flash them...
It's a shame that the cause for the error cannot be found once the device is bricked...
