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?

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....

Mine has been returned for service... I too used ROCKET ROM-V20-XXLA4.
But i doubt that had anything to do with it.

I think this happened to 4-5 cases who are on Rocket ROM, have anybody noticed it?

Can you borrow a battery from someone you know and also owns a Note?
Try that battery. Then you can find out if it is a battery issue.

I believe the internal memory may be the issue. This problem has been reported with rooted and non rooted phones. I have not heard of anyone reporting this issue with the snap dragon version of this phone. As wonderful as the exynos is I think that it is the culprit for these failures. I have read that the problem persists even after a stock firmware reflash. Another thing I have noticed is that there is no way to reformat the internal memory with odin. When you select the option the odin flash will not start when attempting to revert back to stock firmware. Wiping the cache and formating internal memory from the stock recovery has also not helped. So far no one has been able to successfully restore the phone to working condition without sending it back to Samsung.

facing same problem
Hi
Did you manage to get your note fixed? If yes, how?
Please could you help me with some pointer, I am facing the same problem.

Try to borrow a full battery from fried oder neighbar. Put in your Note try to switch or bring your Note in recovery Modus. Try it wenn you are in it, cleare cache.

Pretty much why I only use roms that are damn near stock.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. = CheckRom.

Did you shut down the phone or did it run out of battery?
I posted in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26743522&postcount=24)
but I think my phone died because I had shut it down via the 15 toggle bar. It has the wanamlite rom title and when I shut it down, it doesn't even turn on anymore.
Update:
Somehow got the phone to boot using a usb external battery and now it appears to be working properly...No need for service for now.
Update #2
Dumb enough to try and replicate the problem, my note is not starting up anymore. After shutting the phone down and removing the battery (as the original reason was to access the SD card), the phone is no longer booting up anymore.
Update #3
Ok, it appears that the phone has problems when the battery is removed. My external usb charger battery seems to act like a jump start. I've noticed that the battery capacity % jumps up and down...first it was 17% then it was 91% now it's at 48%. So maybe it isn't booting up because it thinks it's 0% but when there's a bit of a charge, it starts to work. However, it didn't seem to work with the computer USB probably because it wasn't charging fast enough? The phone seems to be working for now...I hope I can reset the count before anymore problems persist.

Actually that's the problem. Only ROMS and kernels based on stock versions are dangerous. And stock ones are dangerous too.
Until now I would only recommend using ROMs and kernels based on CM9.

oh no

Galaxy Note GT N7000 not opening
My Galaxy Note is not opening to the main screen, the only thing that you see is SAMSUNG flashing like Christmas tree lights. I have rooted with franco kernel, CWM, ect. I haven't had it that long; I have taken everything out of it and restarted it and I have also replaced it with a new battery because initially it was getting very hot, now just the top part underneath the camera lens gets warm. I have also tried to download in odin mode and the screen just shows Andy and nothing happens for hours. I have also backed up and restored, rebooted the system itself. I thought I have done everything I could and my issues were slightly different than others on this forum. Any help would be appreciately greatly! Thanks

What Rom were you on?
If you have Cwm, you could wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
If that does not work, boot into recovery and take a backup using the backup & restore menu.
Then do a wipe data/factory reset and reboot

Phone shuts down automatically and doesnt start until the battery is removed

Hi, My SGSA I9070 which i bought about 4 months ago is doing some weird ****!
Phone shuts down automatically and doesnt start until the battery is removed and put in again..
after doing that it runs smoothly..
This happens about twice every day for almost past entire week.
Note : My RAM sometimes gets loaded up quickly.. like after rebooting about 200MB of RAM is free which after a few hours is reduced to just 100MB of free RAM..which keeps on reducing further..
I am using a launcher(Next), running stock Gingerbread and have about 90 apps installed on the cell..
Do i need to un-install them? or the launcher? [I dont want to ]
Please help..

You have heavy ram usage. U need to clear that. means remove apps. Next launcher takes a lot of ram. Uninstall apps you dont use ..

Maybe you could freeze the apps you don't use often and temporary defrost them when you need them.

u need to root phone to freeze apps. But for convinience, update to jelly bean.. just a seggestion.

Um.. A third party launcher and 90 installed apps..
What could be the problem, makes me wonder...

worked!
I had considered that option before (updating to JB) but have read lot of bad reviews for JB update and since i use next launcher, didnt really matter about the OS..
Any how..
As suggested Un-installed many apps.. some that i didnt need and some i could have done with.. :silly:
but anyway it worked.. :good:
thanks guys for the big help..

Hmm....that's weird. My GT-I9070P on GB could withstand 100+ user-installed apps......

Please help: Samsung GT-I9070 - phone shuts down at 60% battery; Android version: 4.1
Hello everyone,
Hope you are doing well.
I am facing similar issue as nickchets.
I own an unrooted Samsung GT-I9070 (Galaxy S advance). It’s a year and 2 months old now.
Current Android version - 4.1.2
The issue is when the battery is about 60%, the phone shuts down.
Sometimes, the display gets scrambled for a few seconds and then the phone shuts down.
I am attaching some pics of how the phone looks when the display is scrambled for some seconds.
Others, it just shuts down instantly.
In both the above cases, it shuts down like someone pulled the battery out.
The phone doesn't shut down when on charging through AC mains.
I have observed it shut down at 100% charge when it was hooked to my PC for charging.
The issue suddenly started occurring when I picked up my phone 2 days ago.
I have been noticing excessive heating before while playing a game on my phone.
Also (maybe unrelated), someone gifted me a cheap travel charger (the ones that have a battery in them and I can hook it with USB cable to my phone for charging).
I used the same for 5-6 days about 2 weeks ago.
I have tried factory restore via the menu that's triggered by pressing volume up, menu and power button on the phone.
Though the frequency of shutdowns has been reduced, the problem still persists.
I didn't use a memory card but after the reset I've put one in.
As the phone was recently factory-setting restored, I haven't put much apps in (just whatsapp, FB, super backup and click counter).
And not to forget I have apps that Samsung forcibly puts in its phones.
Can this be a battery issue?
Can this be some other hardware issue?
Can this be rom issue?
Is there any app that could determine what’s wrong with the phone is?
Request you to help me on above.
Regards,
Phoebus

Thanks for replying shut_down.
I forgot to add in the details that I had already tried a battery from a friend's phone (same model).
For two hours, my phone's battery was in his phone.. He played songs for two hours.. it worked fine.
I ran my phone on his phone's battery.. my phone restarted twice.
If there is a battery issue, is there any any android app that could let me know that my battery is dead or almost dead ?
Also I read somewhere that trying to spin a mobile phone battery also is a test.. I tried to spin.. it didn't spin.. but applying pressure on one side of the battery seems to wobble it a bit..

Everyone,
Please feel free to drop in suggestions.. I am reluctant to give my phone to service guys.. its too far away and they would keep it with them for days in the name of "checking the phone and finding the root cause"..

Thanks shut_down and R_a_z_v_a_n for replying.
The code *#0228# works.
Temperature was displayed by the utility. I observed it was between 27 - 32 degree Celsius.
I am attaching some screenshots of the Battery utility.
Request you to help me know how the screenshots can lead us down to cause of the issue.
Lowering the screen's brightness prevented the shutdown.
I was able to take a call for 55 minutes without crashing. The call ended but the phone didn't crash. :highfive:
The phone survived the night and was ON when I woke up.
I increased the brightness and the phone shut itself down as soon as I dialed a number. :crying:
Also another observation, I accidentally dropped my phone from about an inch above a flat surface.
The screen scrambled (as shown in the screenshots attached in my first message) and the phone got shut down.
Please let me know if the above observations indicate towards any causes of the issue.

[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!

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...

S3 Mini restart/switching off by itself problem

Its been almost a year now since I've had this phone. Recently, my phone has been restarting/switching off by itself....once it turns off, it won't turn back on again unless I plug in the charger. If I try holding on to the power button once it happens, the "S3 mini logo" just keeps showing up and switches back off again. I even did a factory reset and still it didn't fix the problem. Even when I try going through my phone (reading messages, going through settings, opening an app), it'll just automatically have the problem again and switch off again. One time I kept my phone on sleep mode for about 5 hours, and after that I just wanted to make a phone call and again it just turned off.. please any help would be appreciated..
in the morning around 7 when I unplug my charger batt is on 100%
10 min of browsing on wifi it goes to 85%.
It holds on 85% from 8-11 AM
Then I turn mobile data on, browse for about 20 sek and it crashes.
Keeps on restarting and batt is on 0%
I connect the charger batt is on 56% in couple minutes, and stays there till 6 PM
Around 6PM I turn wifi on, browse 20sec and it goes down again.
Not turning on until I connect charger.
When I connect charger it is again on 60%.
how to solve it ????

both of which shouldn't cost much to do
what confuses me is why post the same question if it has been asked before and a solution provided
good luck hope you manage to get it working

Your charger can cause these problems too.

i'm 99,9% sure that it's your battery. I had exactly the same issue just over half a year ago. You just need a new battery (no need for it to be "official" as it would probably cost double the price of another non-OEM one). Hope I helped, let us know here

just wanted to make sure if it is a firmware or battery, now i can confirm it and say that it was a battery problem for anyone that has the same problem.

I had the exact same problem and today I put in a brand new battery, I waited for it to drain then I charged and calibrated it when it got to 100%.
After 40min of Internet browsing 25% had drained!
I am waiting for it just to turn off of it's own accord pretty soon.
Update: phone appeared to be okay, although I thought the battery was being used up fairly fast.
Today while charging the phone the battery was at 80% and during a conversation on the phone, it switched off of it's own accord. I then had to power back up the phone.
So I do think there is something up with it.
Any ideas folks?
The phone is really starting to annoy me and because I rooted it I will have to bring it back to stock before I attempt to bring it back to the shop for repair. But that is the last thing I wanted to do.
Cheers

Well after a week now and the phone is still losing juice rapid.
Sometimes it will charge well and I would get half a day or of it. And on other occasions it just shuts down after being left charging all night.
This is after a brand new battery has been installed!
Bummer

you´re device isn´t rooted, so you can´t use xposed.
lots of apps works in background on stockROM like yours.
So root your device and battery drain will be better.
How to do that?
Search on xda...

It is rooted. This problem started two weeks ago. I was gonna put it back to stock so I flashed this rom. Otherwise if I bring it back to the shop they will not look at it if it had been rooted.
I just ran root checker and it is still rooted

My phone has been previously rooted for the past 8 months, no problems at all.
Then out of the blue two weeks ago the battery went crazy, I bought a battery and it is still not good. If I can't find a solution I will then have to revert the phone to stock before I bring it back to the shop as rooting voids the warranty.

Thanks
