Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster (with a real query).
Actually last Friday my cappy started to show 100% of the battery after being for some time in use, so I reboot it trying to solve the issue.
After the boot, the cell shows the Initially Battery screen for 2 seconds with the battery without charge then turns off. Tried several times and also using a second battery with full charge and same problem persisted.
10 minutes later without having a battery inside the phone, it boots but when I rebooted the problem arises again.
This weekend I installed Illuminance 3.01, after that I have installed CM9 (very nice ROM) and the battery problem still is happening. I am able to use the phone but I don´t know for how much more.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Martin
have you tried to wipe battery stats in recovery ?

Yesterday night I did a wipe battery stats and the problem still is there.
It starts with the loop and the only way I can start the phone is plugging it then it shows the actual charge of the battery and after that I can boot.
It must be something "deeper" than the rom...
Anybody?
Thanks
Somebody can help?
I am having the exact same issue, stock froyo 2.2 rooted 5 months ago. I'm trying everything before updating to 2.3, I'll let you know if I find a fix, please do the same.
Searching google is not working this time, it's been 3 days...
Things I've tried:
1- From recovery, boot phone. Problem persists after phone is turned off.
2- Boot from revovery, then reset to factory settings, after rese, same issue.
3- Wipe cache from recovery. Problem still there.
4- Wipe cache+user data from recovery. Same thing.
5- repeating 1-4 without SD card or SIM card.
- Wipe battery data... nothing...
- Unrooting, same issue, rooted again.
- Run root fixes with Titanium backup. Same...
- Removing battery for hours, while charging it externally, replace battery, same issue.
All to no success. Things yet to try:
- Update to 2.3 using kies
- Update to beta 2.3.5 using odin
- Update to custom rom, maybe try 3 or 4 different...
- Cry, then save and buy a new phone, use cappy as shiny paperweight...
Please let me know if you could fix it...
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "initial battery screen."
But if I am to understand the rest, your problem is:
initial boot - runs fine, but battery stays at 100% no matter how long it runs.
reboot - phone now says the battery is suddenly dead, and shuts-off.
further reboots - same
You can't get the phone to fully boot till the battery is left out for a while and the phone is fully de-energized.
You have tried a different battery and it behaves the same.
- - - - - -
Have you tried using a known "good" battery? (a new one or one from someone who's phone works fine)
Also, what happens if you plug in the USB while the phone is off? (after the inital boot, when it is stuck in the "dead battery loop.")
Still dead after installing update and 2 custom roms...
Yes I tried a good battery from another cappy, if I plug in the cable it does the same, instead of normally booting, it displays an empty battery and goes off.
I am able to make it work but only entering the restore mode, so I cannot for example be on a trip and reset the phone for whatever reason...
have you tried using a different kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
sorry, but how can I try a different kernel? do i need to change the rom?
Nah, kernels can be flashed independent of ROMs just look through development for topics that have "[Kernel]" as the fist word in their title.
If you have gone and loaded two custom ROMs and it still persist then it's not a kernel issue. As the kernel is always changed along with the ROM.
That said, I can only think of two other possibilities: one being dirt or such making a short in the contacts of the usb (does it sometimes think it is plugged in when it's not), two something in the circuitry for the battery randomly went bad.
Try cleaning the socket for the usb. If that does not fix then assume the worst
leaked from my ICS- FUSED SGS I897 contaminating you via XDA app.
Ok, here's the thing, I left it without the battery for 24 hrs, then it was worst. The phone would not turn on at all. However, after that I tried putting the battery in while holding the power button, it worked!!! it's better than having to connect to the computer, but still, I don't want to have to do this every time... flashing roms now to try again.
We're getting somewhere now...
DaNaRkI could be right about it being a circuitry problem (which would suck). With that in mind, have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes? (wiping the cache/dalvik/data)? It might be worth it to go one step beyond that and format all the partitions and then reflash. I think if you do that, you could basically rule out any software problems.
Be sure to back up your data!
P.S. When you do all this wiping and formating and reflashing, boot up and check to see if the problem is still there before you put your data back on jic there is some weird corruption in your data which is causing this.
ok.
have you checked to make sure the prongs which connect the battery to the phone are still in good shape?
yes I have, they're perfect
When you flashed the roms, are you doing complete wipes?
many times, actually
I have yet to format all partitions, how can I do that?
Thanks!!
and yes, all my data is well backed up in my PC and cloud...

this is rather odd, just tried to factory reset again, then restarted using the battery method, then... turned it off, and now it boots normally!!!
Thanks for your help !!!
I have the same problem. What exactly did you do? I use a custom rom, and I flashed stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
Formatting the partitions won't do anything, since the phone won't even turn on sometimes. So when exactly did this problem start happening? Was it after a particular flash or other incident?
Hey everyone:
HTC One M7 (AT&T variant). Unlocked bootloader & s-off. TWRP 2.7.0.0. HBoot 1.44.
I had Maximus 30.00 ROM on my phone up until last night. Then I downloaded Whats app plus on a questionable site application; it looked like it was taking forever to finish; so I went ahead and restarted the phone. That was a bad mistake.
The phone started boot looping. I tried in vane to reinstall the same ROM and then whatever ROM. It turned out the /data/ partition was corrupted. So I reformatted it with mkfs4 thanks to these instructions. Then I was able to install Maximus 40.00 and got the phone unbricked (yay). But I found two problems:
1) The phone battery wouldn't charge past 77%... nor did it seem to discharge.
2) The phone battery wouldn't charge when I first turned the phone off. The amber LED light would just hold constant.
I tried running that ROM with elementx kernel with no results. So I installed the latest version of this ROM (Android Revolution 71.0) with a full wipe of everything. /data/system/cache/dalvik cache etc. Still had both problems.
Then I tried installing ElementX kernel (with the fast charging option checked) with this ROM which led to the second problem going away. However the first problem still exists. I also tried clearing battery stats with no effect. Also tried doing a fastboot erase cache with no effect.
I'm not sure if the battery is really at 77%; but I have turned off the phone and am watching it charge with the same charger I've always had that charged it to 100% before... but its been going for 15-20 minutes without going up one percentage.
Any idea how I can try to get rid of this quite annoying problem? Thanks very much in advance! I would be happy to provide any additional information you might need.
Hi,
I have a problem with my p990 that a little difficult to explain. So, I charged my phone over the night and in the morning battery was at 100%. After I unplugged it, I used it for a few minutes and suddenly it showed that batter is empty and the phone rebooted. The phone started booting, but for some reason it entered in a boot loop. And as I connect the charger while the phone is in this boot loop, it suddenly boots fine and the battery is ok. This happens a few times in one day.
I'm using stock v30 rooted baseband.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this?
Regards
You should get a new battery.
OR
It might be a problem with the included swap partition.
As a workaround: Go to system/bin and open the swap_enable.sh. Then delete all the stuff which is written in the file. Use root explorer to do this.
Then you have to reboot your phone. Hope this will help.
Well i had the same probleme I recommend buying a new battery it will solve that issue
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Free mobile app
Solution
First of all ROOT your device
then,
1. Install TITANIUM Backup
2.In that search for the option "Integrate the Dalvik to ROM"
this should do it for sure
because i had the same problem too:laugh:
Hello guys,
I've just bought my lg g watch r and putted on charge (it was at 1%), and after 1.5 hours it was still at 1%. I've tried reset (even from recovery), but it didn't help at all. It seems like it's stuck.
After, I've decided to let it discharge and recharge from zero, now I've putted again on charge, and after 40 minutes it is at 3%, so this time it recharge, but very slowly.
Any ideas..? What can I do..? The watch seems to recharge well, it seems only a battery visualization error..
I've never ever said this about any Android device before..
..but after I flashed custom recovery and roms..
The watch got all messed up... Now it doesn't charge properly so I can't reflash a working Rom.. Tried wiping everything using TWRP twice, flashing stock recovery and factory resetting twice and then flashed stock system and boot..
But the phone fails during first boot.. Can't even get to the setup wizard..
Hate this watch.. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Today I left my phone in a cab and got it back in the evening. But after I got my phone it was stuck in a boot loop (after force restart - power button press and hold - it will go to battery icon and automatically restart after a few minutes and again goes to battery icon). Please see the video to understand the boot loop. Unfortunately, Developer options of the phone were not enabled.
Can boot to recovery but can boot to fastboot.
Can you please help me to boot my phone back to normal or sideload a ROM via adb.

Was able to fix the issue. Followed below steps,
1. Kept phone until the battery fully drains
2. Plugged into the charger and charged the phone up to around 65% while the phone is switched off.
3. Switched on the phone when the cable is disconnected.
4. This time the phone was booted to recovery. No battery logo anymore
5. From recovery, rebooted the phone. But again it was booted to recovery.
6. Wiped all data and rebooted.
7. Phone was booted to MIUI os but had to set up the phone again from the beginning.

Same problem bro, did u resolve it???
I think your battery is empty. Leave it on power for a while and check if its charging. Maybe the charginglevel is too low for booting up.

I hope it was that simple ..it seems probably like a bad update. My gfs phone did the similar today
The digitizer stopped working, I force reset the phone and boom ..recovery mode - Trying everything but it doesn't work. Wipe surely would work but she has pictures and videos so I'm trying to avoid that. Plug it to charging but she remembers it had like 75% of battery ...geez (hoping for a miracle)
EDIT: Probably this happen from the bad xiaomi update, anyway I did wipe the data and as expected it work without an issue, I'll unlock this phone and ditch MIUI (I mean I did it to my phone Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S from day 1 - I hate miui) ..now my gf has a reason to hate it too
A factory reset could be painful, since you would lose everything on the device. I saw a guy tap all over the back of the phone with two fingers, and boom! The Redmi Note 10 Pro boot normally! I tried it on a friend's phone, and it worked.
Hello,I had a kind of a similar thing.
I left my phone to charge and when I was back it seems to be stuck in a boot loop(MIUI14)
Well,I tried to force restart but the same.
Before I go to recovery mode,accidently,I putted the phone in fastboot mode.I restarted it in the try to go to recovery mode but the phone started normally.After boot,it's shows an update compete message,so te problem was from an android security path update whatever.

I have important apps on the phone and I wasnt thinking about a factory reset anyway but hopefully it worked in that way
