After flashing my phone to the Rogers 2.1 firmware, I noticed the phone gets hot. The phone was fully charged when it got hot..so I decided to turn the phone off and remove the battery and put it back after 5 minutes..I put the battery back and restart and now the battery is at 34%!!!
Before pulling the battery I noticed that it had dropped to 96% without being used within 30 minutes..woke up today and noticed that the battery meter went back to 95%..
What can be done to resolve this issue?
I would suggest a fresh reflash using SEUS, without installing any new apps or restoring data untill you are happy. Then install everything back slowly.
That would mean that I would need to downgrade back to 1.6..or SEUS will report that I have the latest update already..

Do the "Repair" option, if not available in SEUS, try PC Companion.

Im rogers (rooted) too... Your prob could be 2 things:Some third party apps are running... Your screen is on high brightness...

My girlfriends all original at&t 1.6 x10 all of a sudden decided it would charge when it wanted to, then the other day just crapped out completely. It kept randomly rebooting so yesterday I restored it using the update service and it seemed fine for about 12 hours.
Today it crapped out again and started rebooting, basically it did the same thing.
I've been screwing around with it using different batteries, and sim/memory cards and I kept getting the same results until I accidentally turned on airplane mode.
Its been up and running in airplane mode for a couple hours without a problem. When I turn off airplane mode, it starts having problems again.
Now what to do?

It might be an app that you recently installed that is causing this problem.
to be safe, i would recommend you to go to the sony ericsson's support website, download the update service software and flash your phone to stock again.

also, can anyone tell me why the update service is flashing 1.6 and not 2.1? i thought we got 2.1 in usa? my personal x10 is on wolfbreaks rom so i am kinda out of the loop on the stock stuff

There is not 2.1 on AT&T. They are still running 1.6
so any other advice? im kinda in a bad spot here and dont have the scratch for a new phone
update: just installed generic 2.1 & crossing my fingers
If it is not a software issue flash back to 1.6 and use warranty or insurance. My phone would overheat nad get stuck in bootloops.
update: still crapping out randomly.
im starting to think maybe its not the software or firmware
same issue here, random reboot with official firmwares, if I can change my phone I'll do it as soon as possible, I will never took an SE device anymore.
I did update through samsung PC Companion and the phone starts, but a little camera with arrow pointing at it shows for few seconds then the samsung name dominates till I remove the battery. I read about uninstalling software on computer so I did and updated again. It went through the process both times on 2 different computers. I have no idea about the xperia. I am on a droid x and love it. But I need to figure out how to get the xperia working again. Thanks in advance

Wait, you're using Samsung Kies(?) to update your Sony Ericsson x10?
That doesn't add up...
I must have missed something...
Use SEUS or PC Companion, that should fix it.

"Check out my 50% Galaxy S2"
Try using SEUS or try pc companion using the 'repair' function and not update. Have u tried using flash tool? if that dont work, then u might be outta luck!

I just did seus and it went through and said phone was updated. I turn it on and the camera with the arrow pointing towards phone shows up and disappears. Then the sony ericsson screen comes up and stays there till I take the battery out.
The best I can figure out is that when the icon with the camera and the arrow pointing to the device means that the camera is being installed. This could be a long process. If the device is interrupted it might make the camera work wrong or not at all. If I am wrong on my analysis please let me know.
Is it a yellow triangle with the arrow in it?

No it is a camera, with a blue arrow pointing to the screen of a phone and flashing

Then let it be, it takes quite a while at times, so let it be, it will boot into the OS once it's finished.
I let it run till the battery died. Now I will charge it back up and try again. Thank you for the input.

what he said. Usually takes like 5-8 mins...gl
Well I guess I will reflash. I let it go for couple hours and drained the battery. I will get it accomplished if I keep trying and dont get in a hurry. This is a weird phone but I really want to try it.
After many attempts. The camera still comes on, I let it wait till drains battery still nothing. I am going to attempt to flash it back to 1.6 every time I do an update or repair it puts same software on it. I am letting it charge and will see what happens next
Finally after flashing 3 times, updating with pc companion 3 times, updating with seus 3 times. I have come to the conclusion that battery is to old to last long enough to install all of the software. I did find some excellent videos on youtube to help flash. I would post a link but I have not read to see if that is allowed. Will order new battery and do it all again. It is cool to mess with phones and figure things out.

Don't think any battery could stand 3 consecutive firmware flashes...
Flashing just drains too much...

Have you tried recalibrating your battery? that might give you some extra life yet...
Finally flashed back to 1.6 now phone is working. I need a sim to activate to get into phone. It is stuck on emergency call screen. I had to charge the battery after each flash. I came to the conclusion if it takes longer than an hour and a half there is something not right. Will try to optimize as soon as I can get into phone. Many thanks to all
Hi,
I bought a mini pro sk17i a week back. I updated the phone via pc companion to 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.58). The phone was working fine, but after 2 days it started to reboot itself after a call. after 5 continuous reboot i reset the phone (erased all data), then it worked fine for 2 days. Today while i was shopping i made a call, then it started to reboot. One of the things i noticed was from that point any number i dialed was not showing in the call logs. i couldnt reset the data as i was busy shopping and kept the phone in ma pocket. Later i find the phone is switched off mode. I tried pressing power button but nothing happens. Took the battery out and re inserted the battery. did a reset and it started to work fine. When i took the battery out it was a lil hot (warm) and the phone was also warm (battery area).
Here are my questions;
1.Why did this happen.
2. The phone was a lil hot when i removed the battery, can any part inside the phone be damaged if it goes hot.
3. Is this because of hardware problem/Software problem.
(I did a full reflash using flashtool and the latest firmware, till now its working fine.. dunno if this will happen again)
seems like firmware problem to me.
take the phone to service center if haplens again.
but I guess its fixed now, tho I dont know the reason, might be something happened by updating
It happened again. I flashed back to 4.0.2.A.0.42. What could be the problem.

This might be due to any software you installing after flashing...
Try to remember what you do after flashing and uninstall that software
Else get global copy of .58 update and flash that .ftf packageby using flashtool...

Have you had this issue since flashing back to .42?
We will roll out a new software starting next week (.6x) mainly meant to improve the memory management to avoid reboots. Might be exactly what you need.
The roll out will start 12W02 but all phones won't get it at the same time so I cannot say for sure when your phone will get it.
Please post again and let me know when you got this so I know if it helped or not.

Hi Markus, Thanks for the response. As soon as i bought the phone i updated the firmware using pc companion. The flashing part went fine and the phone was working fine for 3 days, then it started reboots and turnoffs. I reinstalled the firmware and the same happened again. Then i observed this repeatedly happens when i finish call or lock the phone once it happens. i Also noticed the last called persons info is not stored in call log. But if u plug it for charging then the phone is fine. I rolled back to the previous .42 version. It was working fine for 4 days, yesterday after an hour of music playback (battery was around 44% or below) this happened again. i turned off the phone once it started restarting itself . then turned it on and cleaned the call logs. From that point its working fine without any shutdowns/restarts. Please help, i'm pretty sure that this is not a hardware issue. if the phone can run fine for 3 days without any probs..

me too when i use GPS or Wlan (.42 and .58 Firmware).
Thanks for the info.
I suggest you wait for the new update (.6x) which should hopefully be available for your phone very soon. If this won't fix the problem you have or if you don't feel like waiting for it (I cannot give an exact date when you will get it) you should contact a service center and have them examine the phone and do whatever necessary to get it working properly.
Repair routines varies a lot depending on market and local laws so you should give the local support a call and ask for some info about this if you choose to go with the service option.

Oops, double post.
Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

Just trying to gauge everyone else, but for me battery performance has been horrible since the update. It'll lose 5-10% in a matter of an hour. No more apps are running than when I was on 4.4.4. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I haven't noticed any excessive battery drain during use, but I did notice this morning that the phone was not fully charged after I left it plugged in overnight.

Yes I was having the same issues as you. Phone was perfect before the update. Charged quick and discharged normally. After the ota to lollipop everything went down hill. Was not rooted or bl unlocked all stock. Took my phone to att tech repair store and was told that I was not the only one they have seen with this issue. They did try to flash the firmware in store but it failed 3 times. Tech told me that he believes there are still bugs in the firmware. They did a swap for new device but I did not allow them to update it. Think I'll just stay with 4.4.4...
Edit....
Mine however also took almost 5 hours just to charge from 20 percent to 25 percent. I cleared cache factory reset and still did nothing to fix the problem. I tried ruu but unfortunately my win7 pc would not recognize in fastboot. Always had prob with pc in fastboot . But like I said above it prob would not do anything since att could not flash with the flash tool they use...

My battery life has sucked since the update thanks to the GPS randomly turning itself on even though I've turned it off.
Here's the thread where I mention it, it was a 4.4.4 thread but various people have had issues with lollipop as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/gps-android-4-4-4-update-t3041001/page3
I also tweeted #ATTSucks to twitter and their ATTCares representative has responded although I really don't see how they can fix this.
https://twitter.com/ATTCares/status/586226543212552192
Mine is weird. When idling, discharge is fine. Recharging I'd fine as well. It's when I use the phone when it drops like crazy. Like right now. Unplugged the phone about 25 minutes ago and the phone is already at 96%.

Poor battery life confirmed...
I can confirm that my battery life has absolutely sucked since the update to Lollipop. It was bad enough that AT&T delayed the release of Lollipop for months, but now to finally have it and actually have a worse device than before, is really frustrating.
I have not changed any settings or installed any new apps since the update. I used to not have to worry about charging my phone until 10-11PM at night. But now, I often have to charge it between 5-6PM. Man, do I wish I could revert back to Kit Kat.
This battery issue is seriously making me consider rooting it so that I can install an older boot loader and revert back to stock Kit Kat.
