Battery problem - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda, I have problem with battery on my s3 mini. It says that phone is fully charged (100%), and when it reach about ~70% phone is rebooting, and after that it shows 0% and it is turning off. To complicate this problem more, if I plug into loader (while phone is off) it shows 70%.
I have stock rom, android 4.1.2, rooted of course. I have installed TWRP v2.6.3.0 and there is no battery wipe option. Do you have any ideas how to fix this ?

i had the same problem in November 2013. I tried every fix I could find, but none worked. A new battery fixed it

I had that problem too. Is your battery enlarged? It's called battery swelling, inflation etc. You must buy a new battery.

Yeah, I think that it is the only solution for this. At this moment I'm waiting for a new battery that I bought from the internet.
Thanks for answers
Edit:
New battery solved the problem.
Some time ago I dropped my phone, and maybe that was the cause of the problem.

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

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 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] Strange Crashing+Boot Loop Behaviour

Hi all,
Hoping I can get some assistance. I've been using a stock 4.04 ICS ROM (kernel LRK) with a rooted Notecore kernel for the better part of a year without any issues.
My problems started a few days ago when I noticed that my battery wasn't lasting as long as it normally does. I turned off the phone and recharged it fully, then reset the battery stats but it didn't alleviate my problems, instead a few hours later while trying to browse some website, I noticed a terrible screen flicker followed by a soft crash (as in the phone turned unresponsive, screen was off for a few minutes and then restored to lock screen on its own) and I noticed that my battery went from 68% to 18%.
I tried using the phone and the same thing happened again, this time the battery showed 5% remaining and soon after the phone turned off completely as if the battery was completely drained. I put it on charge overnight. When I tried turning on the phone, it was stuck at the boot screen and would not finish loading.
Since I was using an emmc erase disabled kernel, I factory wiped/flashed to a stock Jelly Bean ROM and managed to restore my phone for the most part. It was working correctly while I was trying to set things up until I got to linking my google account (I had skipped this during set up)to download my contacts and settings.
The phone crashed (for the lack of a better term) as soon as my contacts and settings were loaded and now is stuck in a boot loop.
Battery shows about 70% charged.

Go back to stock GB ROM via PC Odin and then stay off jellybean leaks.

usually i think its because of how every person use the charging procedure. if you leave you phone on charge for a long time even when its full.. it reduces the life of battery ... this i have seen on lot of phones..

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 ????

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?

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
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
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
Thanks guys

[Q] [help needed] erratic battery levels on mi3w

I am facing a battery problem. whenever i reboot or boot into recovery, the battery level randomly falls down about 10 to 20 percent.. also, if i connect the charger after a discharge, the battery starts charging from 0 but when i boot the phone, sometimes it just charges up straight to 15 percent or 20 percent.. if i disconnect the charger and start using the phone, the battery starts discharging normally and continues till zero again (sometimes it jumps straight from 3 percent to zero).. dont understand whats going on..
actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..

Actually, let me tell you what happened yesterday.. I was using the phone, so the battery came down to 0 and the phone switched off.. I connected the charger, so the phone went started charging from 0 percent.. Fair enough.. But when i switched the phone on.. (Booted into android) the battery level went straight to 12 percent.. So, i disconnected the charger and was able to use the phone for some 15 minutes. After that, the battery fell down to 0 from 5 percent.. Then, i allowed the phone to charge for some time.. It reached the level of 64 percent. And then i deleted the batterystats.bin and rebooted.. The battery level went to 86 percent straight..
So what i suspect is.. I dont have a battery problem since if i loose charge after a reboot, i get that back during charging..
And i dont know why but this problem occurs more often when i boot into the recovery.. Any guesses why recovery is causing this ?

The same thing is happening to me too right now in cm13. So i reverted back to miui where the battery jump doesn't happen but while using normally battery discharge is erratic like it goes from 32 to 20 in a minute. This happens a lot more when charge is below 20 percent. while using normally when the battery is at 100, it goes to 80 after 1 hr of usage but 20-0 takes 10 minutes in cm13.
i have tried calibrating the battery many times to no improvement whatsoever.
As you said when the battery discharges completely the phone turns off. Now when i plug into the charger and boot it to cm13 the battery indicator shows 19 or 23 or some random number
Did you find any fix for this erratic behavior ?
- If you're using custom kernel, stop using it and revert to stock.
- Either dirty flash (to revert the kernel)+use/wait until the battery's ran out+charge it while turned off, OR clean flash without using custom kernel

Yes 2 days ago I wiped everything including internal storage and installed cm13
So you don't have this issue ? Which ROM are you on right now?
Somehow it feels like twrp is causing this cause whenever I boot to recovery there is a battery drop by 2-3 percent or suddenly the battery shows 60 or something like that instead of 30 or whatever the correct value is

I'm on AOKP currently, swtching from CM13 since I wanted to try it. I got the same problem seldomly, but that's because of custom kernel keep on borking the battery calibration.
If I were you, I'd started searching for a new battery, just in case it was dying out. If my memories serves me right, before I need to replaced my battery because of short bootloops, my battery's level also started to jump haphazardly without any reason.

Maybe my battery has become faulty but I still feel this is a software problem because since I moved from twrp 3.0.2-0 and cm13 to twrp 2.8.7.0 and aokp the battery jumps have become less frequent but they are still there.
If it was a software problem I think most people wouldn't notice as they won't use their phones till the battery discharges completely all the time.

I am facing a battery problem. whenever i reboot or boot into recovery, the battery level randomly falls down about 10 to 20 percent.. also, if i connect the charger after a discharge, the battery starts charging from 0 but when i boot the phone, sometimes it just charges up straight to 15 percent or 20 percent.. if i disconnect the charger and start using the phone, the battery starts discharging normally and continues till zero again (sometimes it jumps straight from 3 percent to zero).. dont understand whats going on..
actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..

bad news my friend, my mi3 started doing the same, a week later I was taking some pictures and then suddenly it started to bootloop or only boot to fastboot mode. The only solution was to replace the battery. I hope is not the same with your phone. Good Luck
Hmm.. But this thing started with me in just 6 months after buying the phone.. Also, the screen on time i get is more or less the same as others.. So i dont think so that my battery is bad.. I have tried calibrating it many times but no luck.. And for some reason, my battery always jumps from 13 percent to 10 percent directly :laugh:
having the same problem since i flashed MM roms. If the battery only left 10% , it will drained in minutes
Same problem with me.
I was having similar problems! Until later on I came to the conclusion that my phone was not getting charged correctly! I was and am using OEM charger! So charger problem was out of the question!
Then I thought that it might be the battery problem, since the phone is now 2 years old! I disassembled my phone out of curiosity to check the status of the battery, has it swelled or leaked! Turns out that the charging port was dead! The litmus dot over the the charging port had turned to pink, symbolizing that some water or moisture had entered in somehow! I went to the nearest Xiaomi Service Station and ordered for the part!
You too can check if this might have happened to your phone too!

pathetic battery

I am on Repulsa rom with mad max kernel. And the battery life is pathetic. From 100 to 20% there is no problem but as soon the battery goes below 20% it will literally go to zero in 10 sec and will shut down. It happens 9/10 times.. As soon as it goes below 20% it will shut down in few seconds.. This is not rom or kernel issue because this has happened with different rom and Kernel too.. If anyone can help it would be of great help..
Battery is badDegraded. common thing with phone batteries. Gotta get the battery replaced

Yep easily possible.
I dunno if this will be covered under warranty.. Also the phone is rooted

degraded battery is usually covered but you tripped knox when you installed twrp. so you may not be eligible for warranty

I dont have that much knowledge but i am unrooted and happened to me serveral times as my battery shut downs in 13 percents. I looked for a solution and my issue resolved. Hope if it can help you
Maybe its calibration issue
Maybe your phone thinks 20% is 0
Try using fully discharge your battery until it shutsdown then go to recovery mode and waste the juice until it turn off and dont even boot into recovery. Then charge full with power off and again discharge to 0. Again to 100 and see if problem solves.
If not then maybe issue is with battery
I'm getting 5-7 hours here depending on the usage but to be sure go back to stock room for 5 days and check the SOT BY THE WAY I'm on Lightrom with the mad Max kernel
My phone used to be like this... so annoyed.
I tried everything but no result: using battery calibrate apps or methods, flashing stock rom, reinstalling TWRP,...
I am quite sure when your phone is at 20%-, you can't see battery % in TWRP mode :V.
I think the cause is TWRP ( data can't mount )
Here is what HAPPENED to my phone )
I flashed ECHO rom and my phone got bootloop..."Only official binaries ...."
Fine....too easy to fix... I flashed my stock rom and ta da... My phone's battery was Fixed :V
So ...you can consider bootloop your phone to fix the problem ))) Then wait 7 days without restarting your phone... reinstall TWRP ( "NOUGAT" or "OREO" ). And when you download dm-ver... zip to install TWRP, look carefully for LATEST version "LATEST". And dont update your TWRP or use themes for TWRP (Old is gold, simple is perfection :v , fuctional is too enough)
GOOD LUCK

Why wait 7 days with no reboot? Not needed if it's to make the OEM toggle visible...just wait 7 days or use the date-change workaround. Reboots affect the uptime timer but not the server-side OEM unlock timer.

Happened to me lately on stock, never rooted. Try turning off quick charge and use normal method instead for a few cycles. Maybe test on stock firmware just to be safe. If no improvement it might be a degrading battery.
I am thinking to factory reset the phone to see if the problem is solved.. N try the solutions offered ie calibration, quick charge off

Sounds good, just be careful with calibration...fully charging or discharging the battery reduces it's overall lifespan. Don't do it too often.
I did factory reset including internal storage wipe and calibration Bt still the problem exists.. Now the battery will go down to 15 then directly 14,12,10,5 in seconds even if I connect charger at 15 it will go down till 3%..

Hmm that's frustrating. Not sure if there might be another cause or fix, otherwise might be the battery itself.

Yeah, it can be possible to degrade the battery that quickly.
It usually happens when you let your phone go under 20% frequently or let it die completely before charging it again.
I usually do the lowest 25-30% and the 80+% charge daily, then finally use it all the way to 20% before going to sleep, put it on a slow charger, and by next morning its at 100% without keeping it charged 100% all night (which can also degrade the battery, just a lot slower than discharging it completely.)
I have had my phone a week before it came out and my battery is awesome. It lasts me all day everyday. Best phone I have ever had.
