[Q] [Help] Screen flashes until phone crashes - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a Galaxy Note GT-N7000. I bought it on feb 2012 and I never have this problem.
My problem is that the screen start flashing until the phone crashes and turns off. When I reset it the problem keeps going. I tried changing the ROM (I have been using oficial roms for almost a year) but never happend (I think that is a hardware problem). The problem is becoming more frecuently, now I have it at least once a day. The problem solves when I plug the phone to the AC.
Sorry for my poor english and I record a video so you can understood what I'm saying. When the phone crashes the screen gets freeze or turns off.
Thanks!

It has now become a common problem .Bro seems your battery is having problem as mine had too. I replaced my battery and everything has been working fine. BE SURE TO USE THE ORIGINAL SAMSUNG BATTERY . If your warranty is valid claim it. My battery was swollen up to 1.5 times the actual size, check if ur has too..

Sudden battery drop down

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody else experiences this behavior:
From time to time the battery of my Galaxy tab drops to 3% (at least this is what Android tells me). I noticed that this often happens when a view change takes place and when I simultanously press the volume control down. Today it also happened on a view change when I was using Skype. When I reboot the device it's showing a normal battery level again (e.g. 43%).
I wonder if this is a hardware issue or if it's a software bug. Anybody experiencing this,too?

Are you rooted/unlocked/rerom'ed at all?
There are various methods to resetting the batteries calibration, but it just depends on what brand you have/what you've done to it.
This is a fairly common problem, and for the most part can be solved easily.
Hello,
no, it hasn't been not rooted yet. Do I need to root it before I can recalibrate the battery?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Ok, there is an app and I need root for it to work. Seems it is solved now.

Which app are you talking about ? I have a very similar problem -- battery suddenly goes from ~30% to 1%, the tab starts screaming that I should connect to the charger, and (sometimes) shuts off. If I then wait 10 minutes, the battery will show again 30%, and it might run for awhile, go to 1%, where it will happily "run" (albeit doing nothing) for *HOURS*.
I'm rooted, have BatteryCalibrator installed and run it (I charged it fully, ran the calibrator, and am waiting for it to completely drain -- so that it wont even turn on, to charge it up again). So I'm wondering if you've really fixed this, and how.
I've contacted Samsung about my problem (the tab is about 6 months old) and they told me to do a full reset (special key sequence in telephone -- dont know if this is different from the "factory data reset" in Settings->Privacy).
I haven't done anything with this rooted phone yet, as it has unlocked everything, and I want to make sure I understand how to go back to a fully unlocked state before attempting to update (running XWJJ7). I also dont want Samsung to update it if I have to return it for warranty service....

If you would specify what ROM you are using, it might be a bit more specific.

Nop...i already try 2 stock and a custom one...still same, sometimes after play games...sometimes it just shut off when its lock...as u mention above, not only me...read others post here http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9001_galaxy_s_plus-reviews-3908.php
Maybe its i9001 faulty somewhere...

Can anyone suggest a stable stock rom?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
I have been using XXKPU for a while, it was quite stable but is now very old. At the moment, using XXKQ7 for some time. Also quite ok. Maybe your hardware is faulty.
I never had this kind of problem . i'm using kqe custom rom and i have no problems.
[9001] Samsung Galaxy S Plus i9001 random turn off
I have same problem with my i9001. I bought it in march, and it started to turn off randomly in june.
I used 3 different stock ROMs and CM9, and had this problem in everyone of them. I took phone to service, but they didn't find out what was problem (they told me that it is probably faulty internal memory, but new memory and repair for 45e wasn't acceptable for me)
This turn off happens to me usualy when phone is locked and idle. One time it happened on CM9 startup, and only one time phone was active (I was just browsing apps) when it turned off.
When it turns off sometimes it wont turn on for hours. It very rarely helps to take out battery and wait for 10 or more seconds and then put it back.
I noticed few times when it turnes on that on startup screen instead of SAMSUNG (first screen) it shows battery picture as it is when recharging even if phone is not connected to computer/charger.
I also noticed that reported battery is somehow strange. For example one time I recharged phone to 100%, and somewhere about 85% it turned off. I left im over the night, and in morning I turned it on and battery was on 6%. Same happened again with 55% going to 6% in just a few hours.
I found a way to turn it on, but this way is totaly strange and stupid. I take out battery, connect phone to computer with USB cable (as usual for data transfer and recharging), and then place battery. For now, I managed to turn it on this way most of times (which would be about 10%, 10% everything else, and 80% fail to turn on )
I have no idea what causes this but it probably isn't OS, kernel, apps, root/unroot and rest of possible software reasons.
Does anybody know what is actualy the problem with i9001 turning off randomly? And how to fix it?
Sorry for my bad English (I actually dont care )
edit: I tried following ROMs (all could be found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001

I have the exact same problem, once or twice a day the phone just switches off.
I use Broodrom RC5 currently.
Sometimes I see random green pixels across the screen before it turns off as well.

[Solution] Flickering screen, poor battery backup, sudden discharge [n7000, Note]

A month or so back I started facing weird problems with my year old Galaxy Note, n7000:
1. After reboot, the battery would go down by 15-20% and then without charging the battery %age would gradually increase by 5-10%
2. lots of flickering on screen followed by auto shutdown whenever the battery %age went below 15-20% after normal usage
3. Very poor battery backup (I blamed most of this to the Rom Mods I had been installing at that time- only partially correct!)
I am sure that many of you might have been facing such problems and running from forum to forum to get a solution- I did.
Solution:
Get your battery replaced- most of us have had our Note for a year and some months now...life of the battery is approx 1 year for regular use, thus, the stock battery that we got with our Note is well past....
I never faced the above problems after battery replacement!
Hope this helps others like me!!
I started having this problem after getting a new battery, my old battery which was weak never showed flickering. But this new one which is original samsungs battery at below 15% show flickering and sudden discharge despite a good battery time.

I'm on the very same situation. Battery that cames with NOTE is exhausted now so I have got a new one just to find out now problem is even worse!! It can begin flickering with 40% juice battery!
The new replacement battery seems to be 100% samsung's original but... who knows??

I got rid of the damn problem after getting new ones...Is it possible that the batteries you bought are not genuine/fake?
Which ROM are you on- the Stock one or some mod-rom?
When I was searching for a solution to my battery issues some members suggested battery-calibration and full charge-full discharge cycle to get rid of the problem. Both the solutions suggested at that time did not work for me.
There was also a solution about cleaning the mini-USB connector which gets seriously dirty collecting grime from our pant pockets! That did work for me initially when the battery was good.
Please let me know if any of the above helps you.

Guys - Me too have the same issue, but this started immediate after updating the Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It never happened while on official ICS.
I could observe the battery is very much thick now, which is a symptom of over charging. The screen flickers and brings phone down abnormally.
After connecting the charger for a 5 seconds, suddenly the battery level shoots to original state from where it went down. Most frustrating, it happens very frequently.
I am not sure if the same will persist even after replacing with a new battery. Or I would need to go back to ICS again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
If the battery is bloated then it's better to get a new one.
Erm... is this thread still up?
I just wanted to know if the bloated battery would cause boot issues, stuck on the model screen?
I would guess the problem is with the bloated battery's voltage is insufficient to power up the systems... i guess
I need confirmations... thank you in advance

That never happened to me with a bad battery. What version of Android are you running?
i changed my battery just a two weeks before and the battery backup has decreased very much
can someone help me how to check whether my battery is in good shape or not ?
What do you mean with "battery backup"? Maybe "capacity"?
What battery did you buy?

4.1.2 xxlsz deodexed by eybee
The problem is, after I restored most of my data, apps and system data separately, the screen flickers a little bit and then the restore process completed without any problem. After that I restart the phone, stuck at the model screen only for unknown reason. The data is also from previous xxlsz which I had trouble with some system app crashed but fixed by returning to another backup though.
So, currently I'm leaving the phone without any data restored, only stock fresh out of the box xxlsz with titanium backup only installed. So far the phone is quite stable, I've turned off the adaptive power adjustment in display as well as lowest brightness just in cast it might occur again.
I've been reflashing xxlsz a lot this morning, over 3-5 times due to stuck in boot logo and model screen. Even though flashed the latest philz 4.90.8, it would just revert back to the old philz 4.8x with cwm 6.0.2.8
One last thing, my batter bloated pretty bad about half of it has been expanded. I mean from the bottom part (no copper connections), half of it has reached out of the body.
Well,
hppend to me b4, flickering issue below 10%. It was bloated. Bought new one. Bloated again after 6months. Again, bought a new one and it can last only 7 hrs without switch on data.
This is what we get from massive production company.

By battery backup I mean the time my battery survives after a full charge is like only 2hrs with minimal use :/

I seem to have the same issue
1. Battery drains rather bad
2. Screen flickering
3. Auto shutdowm
Used the battery in my wifes n7000 , however no issues at all
Only seem to happen on my phone.
I flashed it to stock std 4.1.2 , however problem still persist. auto shutdown few times a day
Gets worse when i use an external SD
@amogh you can check your battery voltages and battery temperature and compare that to optimum values. you can also use apps like AnTuTu battery tester.

Flashing another rom again wont solve much of the problem, if you happens to have the phone stuck in around bootloop and able to go into cwm, brace yourself, this process can get very repetitive to solve because a mere battery able to do such a problem. I had these experience before about 2 months ago before buying a new battery. Hope this link helps you understand a bit more of the battery

[Q] S3 mini random restart

My phone is 3 weeks old and it reboots itself randomly. There is no rule, sometimes when reading email, sms, or surfing, cold, hot....
Phone isn't rooted and has original software on, there is no sdcard in it. Warranty is still valid.
Is there something i could try before i send it to service, (tried factory reset)?
Something with Kies?
thanks
same here .. ive send it to service but they return the phone to me again with the same problem..
I have the same problem and also when phone starts after reboot it has ~20 percent less battery...I thought that these random reboots are from one of custom roms that I've installed recently, so when my phone started reboot everytime I tried to watch some video I decided to go back to stock firmware. But today after couple of hours of using I got random restart after a call ;/ Maybe later I'll try to connect phone to pc and take a look what's happening in logs during reboot. Anyone else have this issue?
Same here.... untouched device, battery draining way fast, gets to 40%-60% and randomly starts restarting.... whenever I plug it in again, battery shows 1-4%
My phone can go for a few hours on standby but as soon as I start using browser, play store, camera, etc. it drains and reboots. Can I save my battery or do I try and flush it down the toilet?
P.S. Just rooted today anticipating that I can find a solution.
I'am on Maclaws CM 11 and have still no Reboots anymore
Same issue
I'm having the same issue with my galaxy s3 mini. only thing I've noticed that it won't randomly reboot when it's in the charger. So this means it can't be the powerbutton being stuck like many others are saying on the internet. But what is the solution? I'm really a noob when it comes down to technology.:silly:
Could anybody help us out?
Same here!
I've been having the same issue, Can someone help us!?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm having the same problem, the phone randomly reboots when on battery, but not whilst charging; battery status diverges wildly from reboot to reboot - it will say 60% then reboot with 5%.
Is this more likely to be a problem with the kernel and/or ROM, or the battery itself?
I have got the same issues. When I sent it to warranty, the said that the battery was badly placed. When the phone was drobet, it shaked the battery littlebit and it restarted. Thei put somekind of tape to it and worked like a dream
have same problem,batery is just down 60-5%,reboot,reboot,but thats just when mobile data on,when pull charger,no that.Buy new batery,no problem anymore

Sorry, but how can you place the battery so badly that there can get some space between the contacts?!?
Either the dimensions of the battery itself or the dimensions of the "battery-bay" are not correct (anymore?).
When everything is still original, you haven´t used a crowbar and your warranty is active, it´s imho a cheek to let you use some tape...

The case for battery was few mm too big, so the battery had littlebit too much space. It was some manufactured problem. When they put that kind of a tape, I couldn't even saw it first. It just keeps the battery steady...

[Q] Battery not working

It seems like my battery it's not working, My phone reboots randomly and when reboots shows a lower percentage.
A lot of friends have this same problem with the same phone. Anyone has the same error?
S3 mini is notorious for poor battery power but there are plenty of apps that can help with that. If your phone is rebooting a lot it could be more an issue with the rom you are using.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Free mobile app
if this issue doesn't appear (rebooting itself) when the phone plugged to charger then you must change battery, this happened to me too after 1 year of purchase. i'm on stock rom, and i use too match 3g mobile data which consome huge power.
