Phone Acting weirdly - Flickering, Battery issues, Random Restart

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

Instant Battery Charge Glitch

I plugged in my phone for 20 seconds and I went to check for email notifications and to my amazement it's fully charged.
This is now another possibility in battery issues. I know I'm using a faulty device (that's why I ordered a RMA) but this is kinda odd so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Let's hope this instant charge sticks lol. I went from 7% to 100% in 20 seconds.

Had that also one or two times. If you leave it plugged in it goes back to the correct percentage after some minutes.
Likewise a minor software glitch that will get fixed soon, nothing to worry.

Your phone is just that awesome... I wish my phone was that cool

Good for example you need to go somewhere and you forget to charge it. Just plug it in for 20 sec and bam it's fully charged and problem solved.

This happens when you plug in the phone and the wall charger has no voltage, e.g. because you use a switch that is off. If you switch it on, the glitch occurs and the phone is instantly charged. Of course that's not really the case, though. Rebooting solves this most of the time.

The Galaxy Nexus had none of these issues. I just hope that Google fixes this soon.

this is a non-issue as it is charging fine when left. no disadvantages except when you really believe it is fully charged in a second.

Nope. It doesn't let me continue to charge until I restart the phone (for me at least).

My phone did this last night. I noticed it right away, so I just unplugged the cable and plugged it back in and bam it went back to charging its merry little heart out

I am also experiencing this issue with a Nexus 4 (few weeks old) running Andriod 4.2.2.
Anyone know if this issue is fixed in upcoming release?

Just happened on my Nexus with Nokia 1.2mAh charger and latest CM10.1 nightly, reboot solved it though

I think this is correct. I've had this happen 3 times in 6 months and it's only happened when I plug the phone into the charger right after plugging the charger into the wall.
I've since tried to leave the charger plugged in about 10-20 seconds before attaching the phone and it hasn't happened since (~3 months)

Thanks, will try this approach.

i hope someday "20sec charging" will be a feature for every smartphone

Happened to me one night but when i unplugged my phone in the morning, it went down to 40% :/ so evidently it didnt continue charging after glitching. Battery usage pane confirmed this.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app

I usually charge my phone during nights.. Sometimes on the morning my battery is down to 80%, it stopped charging at 100% and I assume didn't charge any longer and the phone was draining the battery, has anyone else the same problem?

For me 80% only in standby is too much. I always get Fully charged when I charge it at night.

Super long charging time...

So I've been trying to charge this sucker for more than 6 hrs, and it's going up 1% like every half hour of charging, this can not be normal.
I was in the phone doing minor things while charging but that can't be this bad can it?
Anyone have feedback to improve the charge time??
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I was using the phone this morning while charging and in a little over an hour it had gone from 24% to 29%. So yeah, it's a slow charger

Sad to hear. I'm getting this phone next week. I was hoping it charged fast like my xperia ion, which takes 2 hours to charge

There must be something wrong with your charging port. Remove battery and sim card and then insert it back and try it should probably work or else please take it to HTC service center.

Am I the only one whose been getting good charging? I was down to 30%, charged it back to 100% in about 4 hrs? What is everyone using to charge? I used the given charger and wall outlet.

My charging time is decent too, charges from 15 to to 100 in 3.5-4 hours.

Well s3 is an year old device with a smaller battery. Please refrain from talking about other phone's stuff here, should report your battery stats in the s3 forum.

I do know the one has a bigger battery but to the point where it take 4hours to charge its kinda slow... And i wasnt posting stats just comparing...
And yeah as i said if you guys wanna make it little faster the nexus 7 charger should help
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

^^^+10000^^^^ why do these forums have a bunch of S3 owners talking about their S3's? I understand the occasional comaprison between what you're using and what you want but this is not the same.

It's simple. They like to troll. Anyway, back on topic, I think Anandtech mentioned that the qualcomm fast charge was disabled possibly due to fears of reducing the lifespan of the battery itself. Therefore= longer life, but slow recharge.

well mine took 2-3 hours from 5 to 100

Here it is after literally being on charge for about 10 hrs!
Wtf
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Count me in on the 5-100 in about 3hours group. Using the oem charger from an old EVO3D. Maybe you guys just got some duds. Try using different charger. Maybe you'll get lucky and its just the charger that's messed up and not the battery on the phone....

It has to be the charger that comes with the phone.... I charged mine from 10% to 100% in 3 hrs with a Gen andru .

I was using a Samsung charger and it took ages and would stay on 99% so tried my HTC one X charger and it was charging to100% after 2-3 hrs

well look at the usage, its literally always on while the phones trying to charge, youre either using it too heavily or somethings running heavily in the background

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

I had buggy touch bug but it was loooooong time ago. It was loking like that :
When have opened app drawer or any app it started running and i always end at homescreen when i was trying to do something on my phone while battery was charging.
But i cant remember how and when this problem was gone but i can said this :
One day touch was buggy and in second it was OK (not buggy)
If this problem will exist very long go to service. May your microusb port is touching LCD. And when you connect charger LCD feels power as a touch and starts bugging.

It exists in battery. I charged with a non-original charger (or it was a blackberry charger lol i don't remember exactly) and battery damaged. Then I switched another original battery and never used non-original charger, now it's okay. Changing voltages probably won't help, I recommend you to take a samsung charger and samsung 1500mAh battery then you can play with voltages too.

Thanks all at first.
But guys. A new batery here is R$130 ($60). I have already bought one new 2 months ago.
Cant a just make my batery get used to the original charger voltage?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you buy it only for 2 months ago, then you still have warranty and must return to seller for change it.
Correct?

Indeed. So i tell them that my phone batery has got addicted to another voltage then the original samsung charger?
I will do that. But for those that doesnt have warranty and are running out of money, is tjere something they can do?
