Hi, I been trying out a couple Marshmallow versions of the Cynanogen Mods and Samsung TW ROMS. I been having connection and battery charging issues. When I go off wi-fi sometimes I have to reboot my phone a few times to connect to the T-Mobile network. I live in an area where the T-Mobile network is very strong. Also, when I charge my battery it will get up to a certain percentage and just stop charging. If I unplug and plug back in my phone i can get a few more percentages. I tried replacing the battery but it didn't seem to help. Did I miss a step installing Marshmallow? i haven't had this issues with 5.1.x. Thanks for any help.

I am looking for some help trying to figure out why my battery performance is SO terrible on froyo.
quick history:
-I installed the release candidate of 2.2 right when it came out and was seeing massive battery drain, from 100% to 0% over the course of 3-4 hours of mostly idle usage. I tried several different kernels to no avail.
-Rolled back to 2.1 and have been staying with different IR kernels and having good luck with them, average usage nets me about 2 days of battery life
-Yesterday I went ahead and installed kang-o-rama .9 using FRF85, updated to the 4.06.00.12_7 radio and tried it for a bit. Once again I was having major battery drain issues, losing 15% or so per hour while idling or making calls. I started to think that the froyo radio was the cause of my issues as kang would have had a different kernel and OS version than I had tried before.
-I rolled back to my 2.1-1 build (ERE27) and am back to 2 days of battery life BUT I am still on the froyo radio.
I am unsure how to troubleshoot this further, can someone give me some tips or direction to figure this out? I really want to use 2.2 but I just can't seem to get it working
Did you wipe between installations?
First guess would be an app that you're using which works correctly on 2.1 and gets stuck / endless loop / other anomaly while keeping the phone awake.
Could be email sync on froyo
I wipe in between roms every time, and the battery drain was before setting up email push.
Maybe your battery is just not calibrated properly? Can't hurt to try this:
From an htc rep, cleaned up by rori:
The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone.
1.) Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.
2.) Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3.) Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.
4.) Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5.) Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.
6.) Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.
You need to use this sequence only once.
If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly, by dialing 1-888-716-3594.

Does this make sense when it has worked fine on 2.1 before AND after switching to 2.2 (when it did not have good life)?

Won't hurt to try, will it?
Hi,
I have recently moved to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (JVS) on Galaxy S. I am now facing a strange battery issue: Whenever I put the phone on AC power it charges to 100% but then stops charging and never restarts it unless I manually unplug and replug the cable.
If I unplug it 1 hour after I hear the full-charge beep it will show 98%. Not much of a problem.
But last night I used WLAN hotspot, which drains a lot of battery. I plugged the phone to provide enough power. At one point I heard the full-charge beep. 2 hours later when I unplugged it it showed 27%! Why didn't it restart charging if the battery was nearly flat?
I never had this issue with Froyo.
What could be the problem here?

You not searching a bit before posting is the problem
Don't mean to be rude or anything but there is a huge thread going on and several others were also made talking about this. Long story short:
- any gingerbread samsung rom (and all based on) in SGS has this major bug you've just experienced since day one.
- Samsung doesn't care to correct it even if they have released lots of updates that don't actually fix anything major like this. And they even have the gal to tell people they won't bother with ICS on our phone when they never got around fixing bugs this serious on their current release.
- there's no fix i'm aware of, don't bother changing kernels or anything else. Some people say changing your USB settings to MTU (kies compatible) work. I've personally tested it doesn't.
- Workarounds: either you charge your phone while it's off or you change your phone's rom to one that's not samsung related like cyanogen, miui or ICS.
Yeah!!! I have the same Problem too bro !!! But not just 27% ,I was watch video on YouTube until midnight and than unplug it.Suddenly My phone turned off by it's self. (Sorry for my bad English)

I'm using Darky ROM 10.4.2, My Galaxy S has been in use for almost a year now (i bought it second hand early last year), it has been running great up until this morning. I have always charged my phone while I sleep and everytime i'm next to the computer and have USB cable handy. I more than often charge directly from a computers USB or from a plug socket to USB converter i have (designed for phone charging).
Anyway what happened this morning was I woke up and my phone was really hot, and a message was on the screen saying that the battery is too hot or too cold and that charging has been paused.
I removed the battery and took it off charge and let the phone cool down. After rebooting, the phone seemed to be working fine, however when I tried charging via USB, I noticed that the phone recognizes that its charging (i.e. the charging animation icon comes up), however the percentage does not increase no matter how long i leave it charging (did it for about 30 minutes this morning). I thought this may have been a battery stats problem, so just to be safe I cleared the battery stats in CWM recovery. However the problem seems to remain. Although, I'm not sure whether its charging fully if i switch the phone off instead of booting it, as again it does recognize that its charging, but the battery meter in that case has no % and I can't actually make out whether its increasing or not.
Any ideas on what I need to do? Whether that's to buy a new battery, flash a new ROM, or anything else I could attempt?
(I'm aware a lot of battery problems are reported, but after searching I could not find one that particularly matches whats happening to mine.)
Hi all,
I have to turn to asking this question because i tried searching for all help to no avail. My friend's galaxy tab have been having a serious battery indication issues. We tried a few roms, the Stock ROM, Overcome 9.1, AOKP Milestone 6 and MIUI.
What happens is that the battery charges full but when plugged out immediately falls to 75%. Upon using to near 40% it shuts off.
When we reboot it, the battery indication is different always.
We tried clearing the battery data, clearing battery voltage, switching off the tab and charging it, press and hold power and the screen all to no avail.
Anyone encounter similar issues?
Hey all,
Let me start this thread by saying I have replaced the battery in my Nexus 6, and I'm also running Pure Nexus and Franco Kernel.
So I've been abroad the past month, and noticed that my phone will just die at times. Sometimes it will turn on again, sometimes it won't turn on until it's been plugged in (can't get into recovery mode or bootloader, it's just a black screen). So I've noticed when I lose signal, it'll frequently turn off, usually in this scenario the phone will turn back on again. This is a pain but I can deal with this. But sometimes when I'm using the device, it shuts down and won't turn on without being plugged in. It can be on any % of battery, if I plug in and pull out again, it will remain on the same % of battery as before it shut down, and will run for hours on end.
I bought the replacement battery off of eBay, claimed to be a manufacturer replacement but of course, no way to verify this, could possibly just have Motorola printed on the battery. However I've experienced the phone turning off when no signal even when using the original battery.
Any suggestions to solve either of these issues, ideas on what you think the issues are caused by or suggestions for how to diagnose are greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam
It won't be any direct help for you, but I have noticed after getting 7.0.0 that my Nexus will re-boot randomly once every week or two. Battery level can be at 100%, and I believe it has even happened while setting on the Qi charger. Not sure if it is 7.0.0, or some app that does not play well with it.
