ok, i've had my phone for about 6 months now....
was on GB Rooted for a few months, then upgraded to the new ICS stock a few days ago, and have now gone back to GB... i'm sticking with stock stuff now, no rooting, no CWM, etc....
but each day i use this phone, it is so unpredictable. the battery life i mean....
i have worked out, that to get the best battery life, after each charge, i need to switch off phone and pull out the battery for 10 seconds...
if i dont do this, battery life is pretty miserable.... this has been going on for nearly 6 months..
eg - if i just charge my phone and use it, each hour, around 3-5% battery life drain. however if i charge my phone and pull out battery and reset phone, battery life drain is about 1% every 2-3 hours....
WHY? why do i have to baby sit my phone?!??!?!? i dont want to always find the best kernel etc anymore.. i think Samsung need to get their act together and fix this damn phone.... i love this phone, but also hate it so much because i have to always find the right rom, kernel to make it usable!
for example, i upgraded to ICS LPY when it came out - OMFG the lag was ridiculous! battery drain was bad, and it crashed my phone all the time... hence i have reverted back to GB...
where is the quality control from samsung?
am i the only one who thinks this? anyone have battery problems like mine?
That doesn't sound like normal behavior... Might be a rogue app screwing up your battery life/stability. Have you tried starting from a clean slate?

clean slate - meaning full wipe?
i've only done factory resets, is that the same thing?
hi guys, i'm getting really pissed off right now
i''ve got my phone for 3 months now and it worked like charm till the last month
every time my phone shutdown randomly , and when i restart it, my battery level is under the 10%
even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.
i've even tried it with a ics rom but still got the same problem
someone please help me

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.
Try ebay - you can easily find decent batteries for 5$ there.

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.
i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!
Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is
Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development
i have used TeamWin Recovery for wipe all partition becouse with hard reset don't wipe /system and internal sd.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.
If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then
Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung
i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung
In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !
Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0
A month or so back I started facing weird problems with my year old Galaxy Note, n7000:
1. After reboot, the battery would go down by 15-20% and then without charging the battery %age would gradually increase by 5-10%
2. lots of flickering on screen followed by auto shutdown whenever the battery %age went below 15-20% after normal usage
3. Very poor battery backup (I blamed most of this to the Rom Mods I had been installing at that time- only partially correct!)
I am sure that many of you might have been facing such problems and running from forum to forum to get a solution- I did.
Solution:
Get your battery replaced- most of us have had our Note for a year and some months now...life of the battery is approx 1 year for regular use, thus, the stock battery that we got with our Note is well past....
I never faced the above problems after battery replacement!
Hope this helps others like me!!
I started having this problem after getting a new battery, my old battery which was weak never showed flickering. But this new one which is original samsungs battery at below 15% show flickering and sudden discharge despite a good battery time.

I'm on the very same situation. Battery that cames with NOTE is exhausted now so I have got a new one just to find out now problem is even worse!! It can begin flickering with 40% juice battery!
The new replacement battery seems to be 100% samsung's original but... who knows??

I got rid of the damn problem after getting new ones...Is it possible that the batteries you bought are not genuine/fake?
Which ROM are you on- the Stock one or some mod-rom?
When I was searching for a solution to my battery issues some members suggested battery-calibration and full charge-full discharge cycle to get rid of the problem. Both the solutions suggested at that time did not work for me.
There was also a solution about cleaning the mini-USB connector which gets seriously dirty collecting grime from our pant pockets! That did work for me initially when the battery was good.
Please let me know if any of the above helps you.

Guys - Me too have the same issue, but this started immediate after updating the Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It never happened while on official ICS.
I could observe the battery is very much thick now, which is a symptom of over charging. The screen flickers and brings phone down abnormally.
After connecting the charger for a 5 seconds, suddenly the battery level shoots to original state from where it went down. Most frustrating, it happens very frequently.
I am not sure if the same will persist even after replacing with a new battery. Or I would need to go back to ICS again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
If the battery is bloated then it's better to get a new one.
Erm... is this thread still up?
I just wanted to know if the bloated battery would cause boot issues, stuck on the model screen?
I would guess the problem is with the bloated battery's voltage is insufficient to power up the systems... i guess
I need confirmations... thank you in advance

That never happened to me with a bad battery. What version of Android are you running?
i changed my battery just a two weeks before and the battery backup has decreased very much
can someone help me how to check whether my battery is in good shape or not ?
What do you mean with "battery backup"? Maybe "capacity"?
What battery did you buy?

4.1.2 xxlsz deodexed by eybee
The problem is, after I restored most of my data, apps and system data separately, the screen flickers a little bit and then the restore process completed without any problem. After that I restart the phone, stuck at the model screen only for unknown reason. The data is also from previous xxlsz which I had trouble with some system app crashed but fixed by returning to another backup though.
So, currently I'm leaving the phone without any data restored, only stock fresh out of the box xxlsz with titanium backup only installed. So far the phone is quite stable, I've turned off the adaptive power adjustment in display as well as lowest brightness just in cast it might occur again.
I've been reflashing xxlsz a lot this morning, over 3-5 times due to stuck in boot logo and model screen. Even though flashed the latest philz 4.90.8, it would just revert back to the old philz 4.8x with cwm 6.0.2.8
One last thing, my batter bloated pretty bad about half of it has been expanded. I mean from the bottom part (no copper connections), half of it has reached out of the body.
Well,
hppend to me b4, flickering issue below 10%. It was bloated. Bought new one. Bloated again after 6months. Again, bought a new one and it can last only 7 hrs without switch on data.
This is what we get from massive production company.

By battery backup I mean the time my battery survives after a full charge is like only 2hrs with minimal use :/

Maybe you bought a "bad" battery...
Ok, successfully restored to another checkpoint, now trying to extract a stock build.prop from stock xxlsz, eybee's build.prop I believe been making my phone goes hot and consumes more power than normal (I guess)

I seem to have the same issue
1. Battery drains rather bad
2. Screen flickering
3. Auto shutdowm
Used the battery in my wifes n7000 , however no issues at all
Only seem to happen on my phone.
I flashed it to stock std 4.1.2 , however problem still persist. auto shutdown few times a day
Gets worse when i use an external SD
@amogh you can check your battery voltages and battery temperature and compare that to optimum values. you can also use apps like AnTuTu battery tester.

Flashing another rom again wont solve much of the problem, if you happens to have the phone stuck in around bootloop and able to go into cwm, brace yourself, this process can get very repetitive to solve because a mere battery able to do such a problem. I had these experience before about 2 months ago before buying a new battery. Hope this link helps you understand a bit more of the battery

Thanks mate will go thru it and see if the battery is the cause. Point to note was it did not happen when i was using ICS. It started immediately with the JB update

Anyone else having extreme battery drain issues?
Just started out of nowhere. I woke up, checked my phone as usual.. it was cool when I picked it up, but after 5 minutes on it, it started getting hot.
Battery is draining 20-30 in 15 minutes.. I've wiped the phone and installed a fresh ROM, both AOSP, and Sense-based. If I take it off the charger it will drain and die. I've had this happen to a previous HTC One.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It doesn't make much sense to me.. if I wipe the phone, and all it has is a bootloader and recovery, what could the problem be? I wipe the phone and turn it off, and it still gets hotter and hotter. I'm barely keeping it alive on the charger.. I can manage flashing a ROM, et.c. but if I leave anywhere with my phone and use it.. it will be dead in an hour I feel. Then it will be a brick.
Anyone?
I've tried the PWR Volume +/- too..

Batterycell problem, assuming you've always used the original charger that came with the phone?
Anyways it sounds like a warranty issue. I would return the software to stock and deliver it back saying it's always been like this. You should get a new.
Whatever you do, turn it off at night. Assuming the cells are unstable, it may actually overheat and explode. I wouldn't want to be asleep at that time if I were you...

Ugh.. this is already my 4th One in 3 months. Tired of this problem.
I'm probably going to request a different model of phone. Too many problems here.
Thanks...
Feel for you bro... I've fortunately never had any problems with mine, nor have my friends with their One's.
Well, sounds pretty bad, sorry for you
But i would sent it back (again) and make some pressure and tell them you want a fully functionally phone already! I dont know what i would do, i'm fine with mine ('knocking on the table*) but if had such issues and already had THREE phones because of issues i would go enrage lol.
Have had issues with a new laptop the first one had heating problems with graphic processor, so i sent it back, made some pressure and got a new one which is fine now
What i will say, always make a little pressure and don't say "okay" to everything you will get
So i have had my htc one for about a year and a half now and for the past couple of months i have been having problems with my battery. The way it is acting is really sporadic so i will try to explain it the best way i can. First of all, the battery is draining faster then usual, and it won't charge when plugged to a computer for some reason (ok sometime it does charge but its so random, and when it does it will only charge for about 1-2% in the span of an hour) So i have to use a power outlet when i need to charge my phone.
Now what i did when it did that, which is a solution i found on the net was to clear the system cache which i did by going into twrp recovery(yes btw my phone is running android HD 62.0 with kit kat 4.4.2) and wiping the cache..That only seemed to help fix the issue for awhile, because after that my phone could somehow charge from a computer but it still drained fast and i notice that it also overheats more then the usual. So at this point i did a little more researching, made sure that all my process/task were closed and everything and it seem that its always my android system that seems to be using alot of power (see my attached screenshot).
Ultimately at the beginning of the week i did a factory reset, this SEEMED to have fix the issue for about 3 days my phone was working fine, no hard battery drain it , no overheat and it would even charge fine on a computer... until about 2 days all the above came back ! woke up in the morning, my phone was hotter then usual, by the time i arrived at work my phone is at 75% and all i did was listen to music !
Now i really loved my HTC while it lasted and was even planning on getting the M8, but im disappointed that the battery is giving me headache like this so im hoping there is something i can do before i decide to change phone completly
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you !!

I wish I knew of a fix for this problem as well, because I appear to have exactly the same problem with my M7 running ViperOne 5.8. I'm hoping that updating the ROM will alleviate the issue, but I have no idea. I also don't know that mine fails to charge from a computer — my impression is simply that it's charging slower than the battery is being drained by whatever process(es) is causing the problem.
I'll let you know if I find an answer!
hmmm i thought i could avoid having to update the rom but i guess thats one of the only solution left for me to try. could anyone confirm if this could possibly fix the issue ?
