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 ????

you probably need to replace your battery
had you done a search before posting you would have found several threads with people having the same issue

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!

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
i replaced the battery and now the problem is solved

Somehow, my xperia V battery kinda drains pretty fast..while in idle(left phone at room)..aftr 30 minutes, around 4% being down..i dont know why..seems like android system eat my battery..
Sent from my LT25i using Tapatalk 2
Don't forget, it's a new install. Everything has been changed, all caches are gone. Your phone needs to rebuild all. This can take a few days up to a week, depending on how much data you have.
Let it settle some time and you will notice that it will get better.

Try the turning the the extended standby mode in settings and tell me is it working as I am not sure it working on mind.
Can you tell me when your mobile data and/or wifi is turned on when your display is off for a few minutes, unlock to see if it did turn off mobile data/or wifi then it turn on again automatically please.
I have exactly the same problem on my T. Sometimes with Android System, sometimes with Dialer. Don't know why is this happening as many users don't have any problems at all...
well, u can see at the screen shot the logo up there that i use the extended standby mode..and currently, i dont have any mobile data, and it set off all the time, i only using wifi...but turn off when not using..thats all..

Do you have external SD card? If yes, what's the capacity?

32gb c10...but since i just buy the sd card recently, it just been song and picture, no games for the time being, i expect more battery drain if im playing games...so got a little worried..
If you have many pictures and music (just like me - 32GB class 4 SD) there may be issues with media scanner which is trying to scan (possibly) corrupted files or something like that. It's a known issue with JellyBean where the system tries to scan the SD card and hangs in one place which produces unstoppable wakelock. Try to google that and you will see many users reporting similar issues
Besides mediaserver states for music player. If you turn the music on and turn off the screen there will ALWAYS be a mediaserver wakelock. When you turn the music off, close the music player and turn screen off, mediaserver wakelock will stop.
Is there anyone on this thread can show how the extended standby mode works I lost how it actually works.
I went down to shop and played around with a sony xperia T which has the extended standby mode. Same thing happen when wifi/mobile data turned on waited for a a 1/2/3 minutes and unlocked but same thing happen it was still on so I at how it works plus I looked at and stop few services running in settings/apps.
---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------
I read how the extended standby mode works. I now know I would have wait 15 minutes for it to turn off wifi/mobile data. I thought I only need to wait a minute or two.
Here is the website http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/10/05/learn-about-extended-standby-mode-sonys-new-power-save-feature-video/
I think I might stick to JuiceDefender Ulimate app as it turned them off automatically.

The story of my short life battery!
I got my Xperia T 3 days ago, and today i put Jelly bean, but right from the beginning, with wifi turned off, data turned off, overnight the battery drains by 30%.
It does not even stay for half a day! I searched around in net, and in Sony forums they say, since the phone is new, it would take time to settle?? Frankly , this is the first phone i am experiencing this issue with, none of the phones i used , ever drained battery with possibly nothing being used within a day!
I was excited of this phone, but now i feel depressed because of this battery issue it has taken me down since i bought it.
I am thinking of replacing the battery, but guys any suggestions from your side, any Apps which can help me tell who is eating away all the battery?BTW it says "Android System" 70% usage!! Is this normal??
Please help.

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 ..

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:

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

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..

One more finding.. it seemed the that the area around the camera was heating up.. I decreased screen brightness to the minimum and to my surprise; its been 2.5 hours now and no restarts.. let me know if this could be related :fingers-crossed: or is just that, God is being nice to me for a while ..
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.
I don't know how to explain this... Hope you'll understand me. So my phone was full charged so i put out the charger and i go to school. After 6 hours i came back and my battery was at 50%. I was surprised but when i tried to call someone my phone died. So when i starded battery was at 3%. Same thing today, i put out my phone from charger after 2 hours i tried to do 2 photos and *bam* died - 3% battery.
There is a screenshot so you can see what i mean. Can you tell me what is the problem? Hope you understand me
wow, that's a HUGE drain. I recommend installing a wakelock detector to see what is causing that huge drain on your phone
This is how you would go about using the app to find the issue.
1) Install the app from google play "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery"
2) Open it
3) Once it opens, reboot your phone
4) Once it reboots, leave it for 5 mins
5) Unlock your phone and open the wakelock detector
6) Check the bar at the top to see if your phone was asleep and how long it was asleep for (should be around 4 mins)
If it is 4 mins or above, then your phone should not be having battery drain, ensure you are swiping away apps after use.
If your phone was awake the whole time, then you will be able to see what is causing this and you should uninstall this app
Also, you should enable the power saving option to maximise battery life.
Make sure you charge the phone while its turned off, apps can interfere with the charging process while the phone is one, this could also be the cause of your drain, so turn off and then charge.

I don't know how to explain this... Hope you'll understand me. So my phone was full charged so i put out the charger and i go to school. After 6 hours i came back and my battery was at 50%. I was surprised but when i tried to call someone my phone died. So when i starded battery was at 3%. Same thing today, i put out my phone from charger after 2 hours i tried to do 2 photos and *bam* died - 3% battery.
There is a screenshot so you can see what i mean. Can you tell me what is the problem? Hope you understand me

:laugh:was kidding with you. Just follow sj advice, install this app, to see what thing is draining your battery.

wow, that's a HUGE drain. I recommend installing a wakelock detector to see what is causing that huge drain on your phone
This is how you would go about using the app to find the issue.
1) Install the app from google play "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery"
2) Open it
3) Once it opens, reboot your phone
4) Once it reboots, leave it for 5 mins

Seems normal to me, deep sleep is good. Ask here, in the WD thread, maybe someone could help you. Better than post it here. Have a nice day.

Ok, there is no specific app that is causing that your problem. So do you charge while your mobile is on, or off?
Also, is your phone rooted? If it is, try re-calibrating your battery.
Every since I "upgraded" to lollipop, my battery is acting very strange. When the phone gets to about 30% it will shut itself off, then when I charge it, it will show 0%.
Today the phone shut down when it was at around 53%, and wouldn't turn on. I charged it a coupe of hours, it went to to about 70%, then at some point I rebooted the phone, and it shows 23% (See attached screenshot).
I tried doing a factory reset (through the phone, not through PC companion), it didn't help.
My phone is not rooted. Is there anything I can do?
The same here, in the last two days . Everything stock, no new app installed. Maybe change battery?

I'm having the same problems as you are. Everything was ok before updating to .283. Now my battery goes even from 90 to zero when doing something like browsing the web or using the facebook app. I'm waiting for a new battery, but now that I saw your post I'm beginning to doubt that the battery is the problem and maybe its a software issue.
Notice in the picture that my wifi is always on, but it was off the entire day. Could that be the problem?

Same here, it shows the wifi as always on, but I have it turned off during the day. So I'm guessing a software issue.
When in heavy duty, also with 90% of charge it shut down and I can't switch it on again because battery is 0%. I will change the battery

From what I was reading I thought the 283 update helped with the battery drain? I am thinking of jumping back to KitKat for the time being as ealier today I was out, phone on full charge, got to the town I needed to be in, battery was on 60% from light usage, then when I went to use google maps to see where I needed to go phone died, tried turning it back on, got it passed my sim lock and then it died again, later on that day when I was finished at appointment, I tried turning it on and it worked, but reduced to 15%. Also I noticed that when the phone was locked, I could feel the battery heating up itself, in my pocket.
Annoying thing was when I got home I charged it and I tried using it for a few seconds and then dropped back to 0. It must be a problem with Xperias only, because I know of no-one else on Lollipop that has a battery drain like this.

I feel your pain. I'm having the same issues.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue or what...
I notice that it shuts down sometimes when I try to move apps to sd.
Whenever I fully charge the phone and use it down to around 70%, it will drop to 1% if I try to restart the phone.
Sometime it will drop to 1% without notice. It will need to charge up a bit to make it work again.
Also, when I restart the phone, it will tell me sd damaged even though it is working fine. I tried formatting it already.
When I hard reset it using power button and volume up, it will recognize the previous charge level sometimes.
It's just really strange.
I feel like there is two different charge level the phone remember.
Attached is what my battery graph looks like.
It dropped to zero when I tried to restart it.
And then I did a hard reset, it went back up to 80%.
I tried moving apps to sd then it dropped to zero.
Going to put KitKat back on later today and see if it goes back to normal, will keep you posted, really pains me to do this as 5.1 is due out sometime this month onwards.
guys, this has been talked before. moving back to KK will not help. the only way to fix it is changeing the battery. LP messed with the battery hardware. thats the reason its happening to a lot of user...
Well if battery needs replacing that's fine I can get it done for an ok price just wish I didn't have to.

I really don't want to have my battery changed by a third party because I still want to have the water proof feature.
Also, I'm in Canada..I contacted Sony but they said they don't serve Canadians.
Does reverting back to KK not work at all?

Well got my phone in for a battery replacement, forgot to ask if waterproof seal will remain. but I would never trust phone in water, all I need is for the phone to stop dying at %50. Local phone shop going to do it for £25 > €35.49 > $38.78. Will report when I get the handset back.
My phone worked fine after changing the battery and installing stock kernel.
Just reporting back.
Right I need some advice as I am having a dilemma, other than the battery is there anything else it could be? Reasoning I am asking and although I am dubious about what was said, I need to ask. I handed my phone into a local place to get the battery replaced, and after close to two weeks, I went and asked how much longer they think they would take to sort it out, they spoke in their own language for a few mins and then came to me and said they could not sort it and told me they replaced the battery and the same thing still happened, they also said they did some testing with the phone. My phone is encrypted and requires a pin to login, can they still test the phone without this? Also as I said at the beginning, is it definitely the battery or could it be something else? I have bought my own battery and I am going to test it myself and if it works, although I will not get my money back that I had to pay I will go and complain.
I can't figure out why after complete off my phone still drains battery like 20% in 24 hours.
How i figured? I charged phone to 100%. Switched off and left home for a week.
After coming back i found phone dead to zero and it took me some efforts to make it alive.
Then i decided that maybe i left it on. I took sim card away, charged to full, wiped and off.... After 24 hours i switched on and found thta phone drained 20%.
Phone SM-N950W
Any suggestions on what it might be?
Batteries discharge over time by themselves, but not at the rate you obseved, the phone, even when off, also uses energy to keep some things running, as time and date and a service watching the power button among others, but, again, at a lower rate than you are experimenting
Install Greenify and Naptime.

If you have powered off your device, there shouldn't be any power drain.

I understand that it should not, but it is.
I can't understand how is it possible.
When phone is on, it behave like it should be with 4.5 hours screen on time and like working day with average load. But when i turn phone off, no matter what happen it consume 20% in 24 hours.
I tried to look threads with similar problem but all i could find related to switched on phone.
I guess its time to visit service center.

Yeah I would go to a service center. I don't think the battery is literally draining 20% when off, it's more likely an issue with the battery capacity itself not holding a full charge like it should. Still, that would require service.

I think you misunderstood the post. His phone is off. As in, it's not on. Not just put to sleep or the screen is off. The device is completely and entirely switched off. These apps won't do anything if the device is off.

In short I visited Service Center today. They told that battery is fine and the issues in Motherboard. Since I live in Exynos region no chance for me to fix this. Internals of the phone are different.
To send phone in Canada from Russia is unreasonable. So I have to accept this and live further.

No I didn't! My SGS 2 that had the same inexplicable battery drain when switched off. The battery got into deep discharge. As the battery was removable, I modified an AC adaptor with the same voltage to "kick start" the battery. That worked a couple of times. In the end I had to say good bye to my first Samsung phone. What actually led to the discharge was never discovered. I only remember that the phone got wet during a day long cycle tour. 6 months later the problem developed. That's why I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem. I hope this guy gives us a feed back if he finds out what the problem was. Cheers LJ
