Yesterday whilst casting the screen, suddenly my phone went into a boot loop. I connected it to a charger and it became normal. I thought it was a firmware problem so I flashed the firmware again using Odin. However the phone remained in the boot loop. However, when I connected the charger the phone installed all the apps and works normal. But the minute I disconnect the Ac charger, the boot loop starts. The battery also charges upto 100% but drains out in a day. it seems to be a bit bloated also.
Is it a battery issue or is it a hardware/firmware issue. Can someone please advice me, thanks. Have recd no support from Samsung as the phone is imported from another country, so I am on my own and depending on someone to please guide me. Thanks in advance.
Update : It turned out to be a faulty battery. Replaced battery and it works as new. Thanks for all your support

Hey guys I am new to this forum.
My S3 mini been running stock android 4.1.2 for over a year now with no issues. Yesterday the phone just reboots by itself and the battery went from 60% to 14% in a second. Then the phone got stuck in a reboot loop, I had to take out the battery to make it stop rebooting every second. I tried charging the phone all night, for 8 hours, got 10 minutes of usage out of it before it started rebooting again and the battery inexplicably jumped from 90% to 14% ! The phone is only usable when plugged to the AC, basically not a mobile phone anymore.
Did a factory reset, Thought it might help, it didn't. The phone works fine when plugged to the AC, it only starts rebooting a few minutes after I unplug it.
Help please, should I get a new battery?

Update:
After replacing the original battery with a new one the phone went back to normal function. Also , when removing the old battery I noticed it's a little swollen.
Thanks everyone for the help.
So I've had this phone for about a year now, the moment I got it I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and flashed cyanfox (cm11 fork) onto it.
It's been serving me great ever since, no problems whatsoever with it.
But as of a few days back I found it with a black screen, unresponsive. I connected the charger and it light up the green led solid, tries to boot but can't get past the boot loader message
This continues in an almost endless loop until getting to a 'battery 1%' screen with it showing the battery. After that I'm able to boot it up without problem
I first thought that was the end of it.. I finally got it too boot all seemed fine, battery showed 3% at start up bit voltage was suggesting it was 100%. It flashed to 100% later.
Good, no problem until then. But when leaving it over night to charge and disconnecting it from the charger this morning it turned off again. And now it's back in the bootloop when on charger :crying:
also important to mention is that when it crashes and gets into the bootloop on charger(0% battery and all) it was at 50-100% before the crash.
If anyone has any ideas what might be the cause I'd be very thankful
Main problem(s):
-random crashes instantly rendering battery % as 0 while there is still charge
-getting atrix hd to turn on at <1% battery
Some maybe useful information:
-it does say 'battery OK' in fastboot while connected to the wallcharger
-after I get it to boot it will run just fine on battery and charge as normal, but will crash/brick again after some time
-I can get into boot selection screen and fastboot, but only on wallcharger
-I cannot get to fastboot when connected to use, pc doesn't see the phone
-It won't boot past the bootloader('Motorola logo' for you on not unlocked bootloaders) no matter the boot selection(recovery, bp tools etc)
-This is a second hand model already in use by me (the second owner) for over a year now
-no custom kernel, only rom, cyanfox 4.4.2 (cm11 based)
-the few times it got past the bootloop and I was able to boot was on my aftermarket charger (stock charger will make the green led light up but no proof of being able to get past bootloop over time on it)
I've had dead batteries before.. and since It looked good last time I got it on (it won't go on at all now) I was skeptic about the battery being dead. But a quick test of the multimeter gives me <1v :crying:
I know batteries can be drained pretty bad.. but this just seems a bit extreme.. I'll try to get it to boot for a while.
Thanks in advance for any helpful solutions or ideas on the matter
EDIT: Got it on again last night, turned off this morning when pulling out the charger, was at 100%. Checked battery and again read around 1V.
blaming the battery, ordered a new one just in case, should be here in a month or so. Still open for suggestions on the matter

Did you fix it somehow in the end?
My Atrix HD freezes after several minutes(sometimes even on wall charger). Bought new battery, tried to reset everything: usb storage, cash, system, factory reset. Went back to ROM I was using before(stable) but didn't help.

It ended up being the battery, all problems were gone after I changed the battery.
Which in the end wasn't so bad because I'd been wanting to upgrade my eb20 to an eb40
No Idea to what it could be in your case.
Everything working appart from that? no battery hickups or things not working properly?

"0% battery after crashes" that is what was happening in the begging, so I thought it is the battery. I changed it to UB40
but everything's got worse. With the new battery I have crashes even when the battery is almost full.(but not always, for example I can play movie from youtube normally, but when I try to send sms or something else it crashes ).
Hard to believe that there is something with the new battery(I have it just one week+It took a month to ship from ebay).
I tried to flash another ROM, but still have freezes.
Last thing sometimes battery charges normally but then suddenly jumps to ~100%. Now I try to flash Stock ROM, but eventually soft bricked the phone. (+had "battery low" in fastboot, while charging animation was saying 100%)
Where did you buy EB40?
____________________________________
It turned out that EB40 battery was bad, after replacing it with another one everything work
So, here's what happened.
I have a N7000 and it's charger port stopped working a semester ago. So I bought a new one and replaced it. Everything went back to normal.
Now yesterday I was using my phone and it discharged (It discharges even while charging and browsing the internet for example), but I was talking with someone and I had to get back ASAP and conclude the conversation. So I took a older battery that's stuffed and pluged it in and finished what I was doing.
The thing is, now that I connect the newer battery (3 months old, original), I get stuck on a battery logo loop. The battery icon shows up with the circle that rotates in the middle, then the screen gets brighter, flickers a little (My phone always flicker at 25%~ battery) and goes black. Then it starts again and again in a loop.
The stuffed battery still works and is charging fine, with that said, I'm sure I don't have any problems with the charging port/cables/chargers.
I believe this has happened once before but I can't remember the procedure to fix it. Does anyone?
Thank you!

It almost sounds from what your describing like the charger block (not the cable itself) is not sending enough power down the cable, I would try either a different block or even a 2 amp charger block just to make sure.
Yesterday all of a sudden my device went on bootloops at the boot logo. I was using the dialer and suddenly the lg logo showed up and and it kept on coming up again and again.
Unknowingly I plugged it to the wall charger and to my surprise the device booted but as soon as I am disconnecting the charger the device shuts down and trying to boot it results in bootloops or black screen after the logo. Reconnecting to charger makes it boot back up and i am able to use the device while its connected.
Do anyone has any idea regarding this issue and can help me fix this?
I am from India, bought the device through ebay.

Can you recommend any particular battery as I am from India and finding the genuine battery locally here can be impossible.

Hi all,
I have been using my phone (X520 on EUI 5.9.23S) for over a year without any issues and all of sudden the phone probably overheated(felt very warm yesterday and the battery was draining fast) and now it's not charging at all unless I enter TWRP and charge my phone that way but that is very, very slow and takes ages to charge.
When I try to charge my phone the normal way, the battery indicator even turns green for a split second but then quickly changes back to white and refuses to charge as if a safety mechanism is in place that is preventing the phone from charging. Also, when I connect my phone to my computer, USB modes are not coming on the phone anymore nor is the computer detecting the phone properly. (I get "USB device is unrecognized" error message)
The TWRP method is so slow and inconvenient so I would appreciate if someone can help me out here.
By the way, I am on IllusionKernel but have tried OverloadKernel as well but the same result.
Thanks in advance.

Try replacing the stock boot by using “fastboot boot boot.img” which should restore stock kernel, may be EUI isn't supporting the custom kernels well.
However I am unsure,I read about this on a form some months ago so can't guarantee this will fix it or worsen it.

Thank you for your response. I have been using a custom kernel(s) for months and this just happened out of nowhere. I will still try to revert to the stock kernel.
Might be due to battery damage , probably needs new battery.

This could well be the case but it charges very slowly through TWRP and when using the phone, everything seems normal (no overheating or battery drain) so I think, it's something else that is the issue. Also, my CDMA official headphones are not working either during the call or even when watching videos.
