SM-T817 Non-Rooted --- 30 Days old ------ sticker under plastic
I turned off my S2 just before going to bed 11pm and the battery was around the 60-70%
When I woke up 7am the tablet wouldn't turn on so i though i didn't turn it off all the way and it died, so I started charging it
Few hours later 1pm I turned it on and it turned on to the locked screen then died
Turned it on again and halfway booting up and died
I reattached the charging cable and the zap battery icon came on following the 0% battery icon
Tried every trick in the book, different chargers; cords, holding different buttons combination , getting to the lock screen to make the Power Off in time, download screen, safe mode
Now its going for RMA
Did I forget something?

Hello, when I got my g1 it wouldn't charge phone would boot up when it was plugged in the light would come on and it would display "charging 0%" on the lock screen and would shut off whenever it was unplugged, with some messing around, rebooting removing reinstalling battery and plugging and unplugging the phone I managed to get it to start charging, all was great other than the battery only lasted like 3 hours, and whenever the phone lost power either by pulling the battery or even shutting it off properly it would revert back to 0% and wouldn't charge again till I messed with it and it would work again, so I ordered a new battery, when it came in I installed it and everything was awesome, I could restart the phone or remove the battery flash roms all that good stuff like it was supposed to, till yesterday, I have had the replacement battery about a month now and my phone was running low on charge since I wouldn't be home for a while I shut it down to save it for later, I was walking by the phone sitting there and I saw the back light turn on and off so I thought dang back to the same ol problem, tried to turn it on and just a dim red led and no power on, when I got home plugged it in let it charge for a few min and held the power button I got the red led and it finally turned on to "charging 0%" I was mad at it tested voltafe at battery terminals and phone terminals plugged in power everywhere it should be but still no turn on, I didn't my messing around again and got it to charge but it was back to 3 hour or so battery life and it would be at 0% if I shut it down, I don't think its the connection with the battery because I haven't removed it in a good 3 weeks or shut the phone off since my last flash 3 weeks ago.
It did this with the first battery before I rooted but here's current setup
Phone is black g1 drea100
Rom htc adp-drc83 rooted base with exp pack
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Recovery ra-dream-v1.5.2
Thanks for any help
so it started yesterday. my phone randomly switched off dispite it being around 60%. it wouldnt swotch on so i hard reset it. when i got home i put it on charge while it was on. it was around 50%. i used it a bit while it was on charge, but it didnt show any indication of charging but it was keeping the percentage. i went to sleep and woke up and it said it was 14%, but then it immediately went to 0% and switched off. it was apparently charging all night. now ive used multiple chargers and different ports but it still wont charge and the percentage numbers keep jumping around. when i put it on chagr it usually goes from 9% to 14% immediately and then when i take it off it goes to 4% and switches off. theres no indication that its charging other than the lockscreen "charge your phone" isnt present. i looked at the battery info and it shows that the percentage has been jumping around all night. i dont know what to do, my phone is unuseable. what should i do?

It's probably hw problem. You can try with reflashing via Flashtool (if you can beacuse of battery drain), changing your battery (by yourself or in repair center) or in the worst case change your motherboard. If you still have warranty take it to repair center.
My phone has had boot problems lately, and I'm wondering if it is a hardware issue....
I've charged the phone when it is turned off (meaning that when you tap the power button, the white screen with the battery icon pops up). I've charged it to 100%, unplugged it in the morning, and when I come back at night, the phone is at 0%.
Does that make sense? Is the phone not really off if the battery charge screen shows up when you plug it in?
If it's draining from 100 to 0 in a day with the power off, it could be hardware for sure. As long as you're sure it was full when you unplugged it.
Try with it on and install gsam. See how long it lasts on...
And what gsam says before its dead.
Hi,
My Z3c recently suffers this problem that the phone may turns off itself all of a sudden,
I have rooted it few months ago and it's still running 4.4.4 until now.
It first happened a day before, I charged it for a while (not for long perhaps half hour) and then unplugged it from the charger to browse some websites before sleep, but then it turned off automatically without any notice, I tried to turn it on again but it just showed me the 'Sony' and then gone black screen again, I thought it was battery running out so I plugged it back to charger, it showed that 48% battery left, then I tried to turn it on (both volume button+power on button or pressing power on button only) again but still nothing just blackness, so i just simply charged it and went to bed. I checked it the morning after, still couldn't turn on, so i unplugged it, waited for like couple hours then finally I can turn it on but the phone only got 16% battery left.
It happened twice today, blackout during charging, unplug it from charger, wait for like 30 mins ish then it'd be okay to power on.
when I try to turn it on or force power on it, it'll still vibrant as usual but just nothing to show on screen when the problem occurs
does anyone know if it's hardware or software problem? would that be solved if I just factory reset it or I must take it to sony care centre?
I'm getting some strange activity on the watch:
When it runs out of battery and shuts down, I place the watch on the charging cradle while it is off, and it starts to charge as normal. It slowly charges up to 25% as usual, and then suddenly it's at 100%!!
When I boot up the watch it is at 100%, but then starts to lose charge very quickly. It's almost like the battery has become uncalibrated. I have tried running it down and then fully charging it while off and leaving it on the charging cradle for hours etc, but no help.
Anyone else with this problem, and any suggestions? (Can't send it in for warranty repair etc... cos I live in UK where they don't sell it, so had to buy it off eBay, it's a W280A which had an AT&T sim in it)
I think I may have fixed this, I'll have to wait and see how long a full charge lasts, but for the first time while powered off, it charged from 1% to 100% by 1% each time, I know because I watched it - it's been driving me crazy! So something had screwed the calibration of the battery it seems!
The fix was to keep the watch on until it powered itself off with no battery. Then try holding down the centre crown and turning it back on again - mine would get to the Google Circles on the boot animation, and then black out again - and I did this repeatedly, with the LG logo flashing up, then Google, then the circles, then it turned itself off again - so I knew there was more battery there (yes, I know these batteries keep a reserve so they are never fully discharged, and it's not good to take them all the way down, but I was only getting the thing to charge 20% or so before it showed 100). So I thought, how to keep the screen on, I can't keep turning it on again and again.
So I put it in fastboot mode, hold down the centre button and the lower button and it will bring up the fastboot screen - and I left it with the screen on, which seemed for like hours. When the screen finally went off, I tried turning it on, no LG logo screen, tried booting into fastboot, nothing - the watch was truly dead! So I held my breath and placed it on the charger. After a few moments, the white flashing ring appeared and 1% appeared in the centre, yaay!! I then watched it, repeatedly every few minutes pressing the centre crown to check the battery while it cycled through every percent until it reached 100! Now the watch is on and I am monitoring the discharge. I will let you know how it goes (before I couldn't get more than 4 or 5 hours out of it with all sensors off!)
So for all those that are getting exceptionally poor battery life out there, your watch may be lying to you - when it runs out of juice and powers off, before charging it again, turn it on again and again until nothing appears on the screen, or enter fastboot/recovery and the let the screen drain the rest of the battery. Obviously I take no responsibility if it messes up your watch.
I can confirm that this has fixed the problem. I'm getting easily one day out of the watch now, even after going out for a 2 hour half marathon mid day. This watch rocks now!

I tired your procedure but no luck
Also can confirm the fastboot drain worked - took 3+ hours (I went to bed) on high brightness but then recharged in about 2 hours and has 60% left after 8 hours use (battery saver and I turn screen off manually).
Thank you Admisi I might try this for other devices forgetting where the bottom of the battery is. Good stuff.
