[Q] Unexpected poweroff - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two days ago I bought new phone. In an hour I found out that it switched off by itself. I turned it on, but after 1-2 hours it switched off again and so on. Through KIES phone was flashed to version 4.1.2 It stoped switched off, but began to reboot every 3-4 hours! So i changed this phone for the new device. Right there I flash through KIES version 4.1.2 and everything there was perfectly whole day, evening i put an alarm clock and went to bed, and in the morning phone was switched off! After turning on it showed 20% of battery. Somebody has ideas how to understand that happens and what i need to do? Wait and watch? Try to flash new ROM with Odin? Try to back my money? Maybe there is any ways to figure out such as log file or something like what?

Samsung Galaxy S plus random shutdown

hi guys, i'm getting really pissed off right now
i''ve got my phone for 3 months now and it worked like charm till the last month
every time my phone shutdown randomly , and when i restart it, my battery level is under the 10%
even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.
i've even tried it with a ics rom but still got the same problem

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] Galaxy Note N7000 auto shutdown

Hi guys I'd rooted my note to RocketRom v3 last week.
Yesterday my phone battery left 9% so i charged it till 100% until the icon appears, so i unplug it and start using it.
The battery status showed 89%, before I went to sleep with alarm set.
The next morning I was overslept as the phone suddenly shutdown automatically and the alarm clock didnt ring. After long pressing the power button, it still don't boot up. So I took out the battery and put it back, switch it on. Left 33%!!!!!! I am not sure what is exactly the problem, had uninstall all battery monitor apps or battery saver apps.
Can anyone please help me because today it auto shutdown again. IT frustrating and anyone could help really would be very grateful!
Do a clean install again
Thanks for replying =D
Just a little issue here, before rooting, this problem also occured when im on stock rom and stock kernel 4.0.4 ICS, already replaced the battery once with a totally new battery. Rooted the phone cause i though it would help, but it turns out the problem still exist. =( (but the developer of the rom surely did a very very good job cause im in love with RRv3 and my phone :fingers-crossed
Just so anyone who can tell what's the problem pls I'm so desperate because my phone can suddenly shutdown from battery lvl 44% and boot up with 0% (need to charge for awhile only can be booted up).

[Q] Battery problem (not draining problems)

Hey guys, I am not so sure how to describe this problem, but I'll just tell you what exactly is happening.
Firstly, the main problem is whenever I connect to WIFI/3G, the phone shuts itself down in about 2 mins of use, even if the battery is at about 70%+. After I turn it back on, it only has 1%- and it shuts down again. I tried to turn it in Recovery mod, so the battery will completely discharge (with screen on), but it didnt happen. Then I turned it on again- And now the battery was 20%
Now, I noticed that I can use the phone for music (I listened to music for 1.5 hours straight without it turning off) (also, it didnt have a SIM card inside, so it was on Airplane Mode).
I bought the phone a year and a half ago, and used it for about a year (changed MANY roms when it was mine), and about 6 months ago, I gave it to my mom cuz I bought myself a Galaxy Nexus. I left her with CM9 or Darkys rom (not so sure about that), and she told me about this problem 2 months ago.
Im not so sure the problem is with the battery, because I have the main battery, and 2 other batteries ordered from eBay (weaker ones).
Also, the main (and maybe just a bit of the 2 other) battery inflated (not so sure how to say that, as English is not my main language) so much that you cant even close the back door of the phone.
I tried changing Roms, from GB to JB- nothing helped. Willing to hear everything you got.
Thanks, Mark.

HTC One using battery whilst switched off??

I'm having a strange problem with my One. I usually switch it off overnight, and sometimes when I switch it on in the morning it claims to have used ~15% battery over 8 hours. Last night I switched it off at 60% and this morning it claimed to have only 45% remaining. The same happened several times last week, and it actually managed to totally flatten itself.
Fast boot isn't on, so it's not that.
Things I have tried so far:
Flashing latest firmware.zip
Moving to CWM from TWRP
Moving to Maximus ROM from ARHD
...and it still does it. I've attached a screenshot from last night, and the phone seems to think the screen was on from when I switched it off at about 11pm to when I switched it on at 7.30. Is it possible that the screen is still running even when the phone is off? Does anyone know what's going on here?
I actually have the same problem with my device. The only difference is that on my device the "awake"-bar is the same as the "screen on"-bar. And as with you fastboot is unchecked but I'm on Stock Sense 5, with CWM 6.0.3.
I could manage to turn it off and stay off only when I booted into fastboot and then selected "Power Down".
Yeah, the next night I had awake and screen on the same amount.
I tried ticking Fast Boot, to see what happened, and that meant I only lost 5% overnight the following evening.
I tried a custom kernel (Bulletproof) but it still seemed to be doing it.
I flashed a Google Edition ROM yesterday and it doesn't seem to be happening now, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with Sense.
It happened to me once. The culprit was the NFC, it was enabled. I switched it off and it solved the problem.

Interesting, thanks. I will look into that.
OK, flashed back to stock and relocked bootloader and still getting this problem intermittently. Can't figure out what it is. Wondering if the device itself is faulty.
