Battery problem

Hi Folks, I hve had my note for 1 year now and haven't had any battery problems until 2 days ago when I flashed a jb rom. All was fine for about 10 hours when I started to recharge the battery again that went fine, charged to 100% and unplugged, the phone said it was at 100%. After another few hours the phone cut out, no warning just cut out. I could get the phone back on but only when plugged into the charger. So, heres my problem, phone says battery is fully charged but when I unplug the charger it cuts out now. if I boot in to recovery with out the charger it stays on for hours. if I try to start the phone up normally with out charger it doesn't work. I have tried another battery again it started fine for almost a day then the same problems again. I have tried several kernels and roms in case it was one of those that was causing the problem but its the same every time. Im not a newb when it comes to flashing roms some im 100% sure its all ok in that department. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Graham

My note is also about 10 months old. I want to know if my battery stats. I feel like my phone is giving me short time.
My question is do i need a replacement with these stats????

What really matters here is your screen on time (I can get around 4h30 with heavy use). I also see you have a few notifications so there might be some draining apps running in the background (like that *** Facebook app which is constantly running in the background even with notifications off). In any case BBS should help you identify the "rogue" app (if any). Also I don't use Google Now as it's kind of a battery killer.

this problem is same with me...after 1 year use gnote
and this is battery problem..i dont know whats is causing it...
i try to enter recovery mode and ..battery is good..almost 4 hours screen on recovery mode
but if I try to start the phone up normally phone is reboot after 1minute in homescreen android
trying with different rom jb ..same problem ..
after replace my battery ..problem is gone..

@strachg If the phone used to work well before you flashed JB I'd recommend going back to ICS to see if the problem persists. If it disappears the reason is JB which would not supprise me since all JB roms for the Note are not really bug free. If the phone continues to behave like you described and changing the battery does not help either I'd say it's a hardware failure.

Hi, Yeah I already tried going back to ics and it was just the same, it just seems like a bit of coincidence and really annoying lol. The only thing I can think off that is causing it is as you say that its a hardware fault and it must be overcharging the battery and breaking it. If it was JB that was causing it im sure I wouldn't have been the only one by now.
thanks
Graham

how did you install jb? Was it clean on safe kernel? You havent eliminated the possibility of software issues.
Qazibazit, it looks ok.
Guideline 3,5-4,5 hours on screen time is normal (if you play games can be less, thus is from full to 1%). Total standby time, usually more then 24 hours is normal.
If you have a lot less, go read ahalfords sticky on wakelocks. All you need to know to optimize battery.

Hi baz 77 yeah using safe kernel, tried a few actually. And using utackas. Version of paranoid android now again tried a few Roms. Everything was wiped and redone the process about 20 times. I looked through all the roms. And kernel threads and no one has had this problem. New battery coming so will see how it goes now.

yep thats pretty definitive, at least if all those roms are not having same base and thus posibly same issues.
Your new battery will improve your experience quite a bit if its a good one!
Have fun with it and let us know if it worked for you

Urgent help needed....!!!

My note switches off suddenly with a white pixelated screen.Sometimes it starts after removing and keeping the battery again but sometimes it won't start at all.one month back I have given in mobile shop and he told me that it is some hardware issue.He charged 1000 for that.For few days it was normal and it started again now.What might be the problem ?? I'll post screenshots of the mobile at the time it strucks

Try an alternative battery.

He didn't say BUY a NEW battery. He said TRY an ALTERNATIVE battery.

How often does it switch off? If it's often then you could try leaving it in recovery mode to see if it does it there...

Recovery mode does not use much resources. So it will be hard to tell.

I have a 2 month old original battery in my note. I noticed screen flickering a week ago which is a sure sign the battery is past its prime.
Still, some questions:
Have you dropped this phone?
Are you still running stock android? root?
Did you overclock / undervolt anything?
How often is this happening?
Is the phone hot when this happens?

Ofcourse,I've dropped it many times.I think problem also because of that droppings only.Running on stock firmware.No overclock.Can't say how often....The phone won't be hot but may be sometimes I feel slight hotter.

I've flickering issues in my last battery.I know how it turns off when battery is damaged.so I can say it's not battery issues.I'm thinking of hardware problem only coz of so many droppings.Can you suggest me what could be damaged coz of falling on ground....and also can I try custom rom to get rid of this....???

There is no guarantee that a custom rom can help, but it is much easier than dealing with hardware issue. Definitely should try a custom rom 4.12 to see if it helps.

Custom rom also not helping.Today it switched off completely and not switching on even.sometimes it switches on after sometime but no luck this time.so please someone suggest me,what are my options now ?and What would I do now ?

Personally, my next step would be opening it up, remove all the dust(if any) and check all connections.
If that does not help, you have a problem.
If all fails, consider maybe overvolting and/or underclocking.?

[Q] Note keeps rebooting

I guys, it is about two months that my phone keeps rebooting randomatically (sometime also 5 times in a row). I tought that it was something
Relater with a custom rom. So I flashed one of the stock jb through odin but still the phone keeps rebooting.
What else can I try?
Thanks in advance.

Is Your device old? Maybe the battery is damaged already? I had such an issue with my xperia x10.

Hi, thanks for your answer. Actually I changed it a month ago. I also checked for damages to the emmc. The eMMC check app does not freeze but under BrickBug it shows "Yes insance chip". Could be this the cause?

I kind of still think it's battery.
Is it an original battery for samsung and do You still have the old one?
If You have the old one try using this one (if it isn't that broken yet).
I would test it with other battery.
Can somebody borrow You such a battery for a test?

You were absolutely right. Was battery's fault..

[Q] Firmware 9.2.A.1.199 is useless!

I've tried several different firmwares. Belgian, Italian, CE, etc. I've done factory rewipes, I've gotten root, I've removed root. Whatever I do, the phone is possessed. It randomly turns off completely or it reboots. Sometimes when using the internet, sometimes when trying to open the lockscreen, sometimes when I simply touch the screen! Anybody having the same problems? Any solutions?

Maybe it's hardware problem? Does it happens on 4.1?

Nope. 4.1 was perfect!

Try to remove your SD card.
If it doesn't work, then try to format internal storage.
If it doesn't work, then make a factory reset and install your app one by one, because there could be one that gives issues with the new system.
Let us know..

Just repaired with Sony Bridge, still reboots even during initial setup. Will try factory reset now.

Have you been back to 4.1 since upgrading?

I did that. Which of your 15 phones is it? I went with Pure-X Blaster for my V. It is pretty similar to 4.3. It's 4.22.
I am a bit surprised. People usually would not have such a tolerance, that was only known for a fruit religion.

Downgraded to 4.1.2 which used to be rock solid...now getting random reboots and shutdowns!

There's something wrong with your hardware
Do you have your bootloader unlocked?

The power control function of the battery is dead on your device.
The reason I asked if you had tried 4.1 since is for me upgrading to 141 last year I had the same issue and so did a lot of others. The T is very prone to this failure, it can happen thorough everyday use but more commonly appears to happen post major update.
Very simple to rectify, if under warranty Sony will replace as they did with me, if no warranty you need to buy a new battery and replace it(plenty of guides on youtube.)

Amazing! Judging by reading various boards and sites, Sony's got a real problem with updates ruining phones! Lots of unhappy campers!

Setting to 3G only solved random reboot on my xv.
It seems that switching from 2g to 3g is the root cause.

Already tried that. I think Wobba-Lee was correct. Somehow the update can fry the battery sensor.

I've had this happen before and found the SIM card had moved slightly. Removing it and refitting it solved the issue.

Battery
I had the same random reboot issue with my Xperia V, it only happened when on battery power power, when on charge it worked flawlessly. I Ordered a new battery and has worked ever since.

Newer update available

Just wanted to inform people that there is a new minor update available. It didn't pop up on its own. I found it this morning by manually checking for one. Haven't tested improvement yet.

Awesome, just updated

Wtf.. How are you possibly gauging that your battery life is better? Patch just came out!! You need to cycle your battery a couple times before getting an accurate reading.

Because my battery would drain rapidly visible to the eye just by using it. I've had my phone in my hand a lot today and the battery by a 1% basis is just not going down the way it normally does.

FTFY
Anyway, I have been using DOJC now for three days. Have not noticed any improvement or decrease in battery. Same screen on time and such. Still lasts me the whole day.

Not sure if anyone else was affected, but this update bricked my modem. Bluetooth audio crashes the phone and the cellular radio will no longer connect to towers. I'm stuck on WiFi until my warranty replacement arrives.

I'm not totally sure if this will fix your issue, but try using kies or smartswitch to download stock firmware and wipe it and reinstall stock.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't get much grief on the warranty replacement, so I'll wait for that to arrive.
I've been running stock with package disabler on this for a long time (upgraded with everything re-enabled). Wanted to try a t-mobile version of xlite but it looks like the dev dropped support for that build in favor of the international one.
Haven't tried a factory reset yet since I've got a bunch of tokens I need to keep until I can move them and don't want to risk losing more functionality with a reset or image. [emoji28]

For what it's worth, I've been able to move tokens over by rooting and using titanium backup with great success. Just a recommendation if the warranty doesn't show up for a long while.
