I used to have over 100 hrs of battery life with stock DI01 Fascinate.
I was using DJ05 SuperDark ROM and StupidFast kernel (non-voodoo) about 2 weeks ago. It was running fine but started to have worse and worse battery life.
(approximately 48 hrs -> 24 hrs)
So, Decided to flash recently released EB01 SuperClean2.4 with voodoo.
I've been using SC 2.4 about 12days.
Right now, My phone dies after 8 hrs.....
Never flashed many themes or Roms..
only Stock -> DJ05 SuperDark&StupidFast -> EB01 SC 2.4 with voodoo
is it caused by a virus or something? I'm confusing..
I think I must restore my phone to DI01 unrooted to save my phone..
Since I flashed SC 2.4 voodoo Rom, I read that I have to remove voodoo before use DI01 Odin Fix-All.
Can I do it on red CWM and then restore to DI01 with odin?
Or some other way to restore?
I love my phone but it's killing me now with short lived battery..
I appreciate you guys' opinions and comments about my situation.
EDIT: I Just want to make sure if DI01 odin package will fix my problems now.
Thank you guys for all the comments so far.
Will I have my awesome battery life back if I do DI01 odin package?!
If you're doing the full Odin restore it will overwrite the voodoo kernel.
Sent from my Super Clean 2.6 Froyo - Voodoo - Fascinate!
If you use the DI01 odin all in one package, you don't have to remove Voodoo, just flash and be done with it.
Thank you all for comments.
Reason why I asked how to remove voodoo before flash DI01 odin all in one is adrenalyne is saying so in his post on androidforums.
Please note:
While this should remove Voodoo 4/5 (and anything else), you should take all other paths to remove it first.
You can just flash the all in one package without disabling voodoo. But if you feel better doing so, boot into red CWM, disable the lag fix, reboot to let the file system convert, and then you are good.
How the hell does a battery last 100 hours?

I doubt that so much, unless you had the phone off for half the time, the phone WILL die at around 30.

I wish I know how to post screenshot but can't figure out how to..
because it says enter the URL of image and I don't have URL.
but, the point is I'm having horrible battery now.. not a memory of 100 hrs..
I am so sad that I can't even enjoy a day with this great phone.
Will DI01 Odin all in one package fix my battery to the state of new phone?!
First, grab adrynalyne's battery stats wipe script fix (if you don't already have it). Try charging your phone to full. Then, turn it off (while still plugged in) and let that go to full. Now, go into CWM and wipe the battery stats. Now turn on and let the phone charge again, then power off and let that charge all the way. Just for extra effect, you could now try clearing it again.
If you flash a rom when your battery is <100%, your phone won't automatically recharge all the way.

Thanks, but I tried adrynalyne's battery wipe scripts already, but mine is just getting worse and worse
I installed bstats.zip 2 or 3 times in red CWM to make sure.
and then, ran the script in terminal emulator by typing these:
$ appears
type su and enter (At first time, it asks for superuser permission, so pressed Yes)
# appears
type bstats and enter
the phone rebooted and hopefully wipe the battery stats.
I thought it worked at first time, but no luck for me..
Just want to make sure if DI01 odin package will fix my problems now.
Something tells me you just need a new battery.

Does wiping the battery actually help battery life, because if so, how. I'm getting about 14 hours outta my phone right now.

Did you follow these steps? I am running Bionix 1.7 w/Voodoo and used these steps to recondition my battery. I would say 14 hours is pretty good. These phones are battery whores. What apps are you running? GPS on all day?
Battery Reconditioning:
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
8. Rejoice!
Question about step 3 is that clear cache from the recovery menu, cause I can't find the wipe battery stats option....
I have:
reboot
reinstall packages
clear user data
clear cache
You want to boot into Clockwork Recovery and then look under Advanced.

With CWM you have the option to boot into recovery. If you get to vibrant recovery then just choose the update package option and that should transfer you to CWR.

I have done this about 20 times and I get the same battery life every time 7 hrs max and that's texting and some internet browsing on edge since 3g is week at work. So I don't what I am doing wrong or if I just have a crappy battery but I don't know how you all are getting that kind of results lol. Oh and I got my phone used from a friend so the battery could of been broken in improperly so that could be why it does nothing for me. Any suggestions any one?

So, my gf's white fascinate running superclean 2.9.2 has booted into safe mode randomly each of the last 3 days. Has anyone else had this problem? And are there any solutions? I've flashed the rom more than once and sometimes it reboots at 30% battery.
Mine boots into that safe mode thing after I run the script to wipe battery stats in terminal. Another reboot and it boots into the normal mode. I have no idea why it does that.
Same problem, she reboots and its fine for a day. My phone has the same setup and no problems. Hoping someone can help me out.
i used to have that problem on 2.9.1 all the time, but since 2.9.2 i havent had any problems

I did. Tomorrow I think ill do an Odin back to stock, then flash 2.9.2 again and see if it works.
Ok. My girlfriend's Fascinate has been doing this while mine hasn't and we're both running 2.9.2. It may be time to wipe her phone to get everything working properly again. I tried running fix permissions on Thursday, so I'm gonna wait to see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, it's wipe city.
Yeah, the whole "deep clean" where you manually wipe all the partitions from Clockwork (twice, if you're paranoid) *before* you do a full Odin may be good, just to be safe.
Hey guys... I am not new to using odin, flashing roms, pushing stuff to sd, etc, but I have ran into a problem recently that I can't seem to fix. It doesn't matter what rom I flash and use, I keep getting random shutdowns on my phone, especially after it gets below 20%. Other people using the same roms do not have this trouble.
That being said, most of the time, I odin back to Froyo before flashing a new rom (and yes, I wait about 15 minutes without touching the phone after each flash, do factory reset/wipe, wipe dalvic cache, fix permissions, etc). The Froyo files I use are Eugene's 512.pit file and the JK2.tar file. I finally got to wondering if there was more of a problem with the base files I'm using, so then flashed the listed files using odin (which is what I use to "start fresh" before each new rom) and found out that I am still getting random shutdowns!
I really am not sure what to do... do I need to completely blow everything away (as in doing something that will erase everything - music, photos, etc. which normally doesn't happen), unroot, re-root, and take it from there? Am I using old files that are known not to work so well anymore? Any suggestions?
Try fixing permissions in CWM the wipe dalvac and cache. If that doesn't work try factory reset
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
i have done all that you listed... do it every time after i flash a new rom but it still shuts down...
When is the last time you calibrated the battery?
I remember someone else having g this issue and its related to the battery percentage. As if the phone thinks its at dead battery when its not.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
well, i don't do the full calibration i don't think... what i do is: after i flash a new rom, i charge it all the way up, plug and unplug it a few times to make sure it stays at 100%, then (while it is still plugged in) i reboot into recovery and wipe the battery stats. most of the time that's it, i don't let it charge all the way to 0% and then charge all the way back up again.
but i don't think that's the problem because even when the battery says it is still at 50-75% i still have the problem... albeit not as often.
i'm thinking of usin odin to go back to the un-rooted stock and see if that fixes it... from there i can re-root and flash the rom i want.
Let me know if that works, im interested to see if it works! Good luck.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
don't if it will help, but try odening back to jfd. I never odin back to froyo always jfd when I want a fresh start. Try running jfd and see if it still reboots. If so then your phone is defective. Also a while back I remember this happening on simply honey and other gb roms. I forgot what the fix was though.
thanks guys... am in the process of going back to jfd now, sure hope that works! i followed sn15's guide on this and actually reformatted both internal and external card as well to wipe everything. i will keep you all posted if it works...
Could it be a hardware issue? How 'bout on stock, does it still do it? Do you have a case on the phone that it might be pushing the power button down that its causing a forced shutdown? Is the power button getting stuck somehow? Have you tried cleaning the hell out of the contacts (battery & phone) and made sure that the contacts are in fact making a good contact? Luck homie.
Yeah definitely give JFD a shot. Root and reflash. I only really ever use Eugene's JK2 if my partitions get mess up or something. If it's still doing it after that then it could be a hardware issue like someone else said.
just wanted to give an update...
after i flashed JFD my phone was still randomly shutting down some, so i decided to give the battery a shot (as was mentioned above) just to see if that was indeed the issue. i switched batteries from the extended battery i was using back to the stock battery. i reconditioned it in JFD following s15n's advise. i have not had any more issues after this! i believe this worked... thanks for all the advise and help.
Hey guys, I've had this question for some time. If you're gonna flash a Rom over another without wiping, like I'm doing now, Energy Aug 1 over 6th, I have 27% right now, is it safe to flash?

if you mean with 26% battery, then yea it should be ok. i flashed a rom with 12% battery before. and as long as you go from ics to ics rom you will be ok.
(the flashing process is so fast that you dont have to worry about battery too much)

You cannot brick a device if you're flashing ROMs with low battery. Heck, I've done it with 5% battery. Worst case scenario: Battery dies during flash. Phone probably won't boot due to no system (or corrupt system) installation. Solution: Charge it and then flash it again when there is enough battery. That is, if the ROM doesn't flash another radio/hboot.
For RUUs, radios, and hboots that is a COMPLETELY different story. Your battery dies while flashing a RUU, radio, or hboot, and you're probably screwed. (Not always, but a good chance)
yea i forgot to add the RUU part...
you definatly want at least 50% when flashing an RUU so that there is no possible way for a brick during that
Ahh awesome thanks for quick answers guys!!

I'd still flash a rom with full battery
read somewhere if you don't flash with full battery, the ICS set-up during initial boot might screw things up battery wise
I know that my first flash with the energy rom was at 70% battery, and had problems with battery life
flashed the (RUU) and Speed Rom with 100% battery, currently with no problems

When flashing with the RUU you know you are replacing EVERY system file on the phone.. so the ultimate "battery calibration"(since wiping battery stats is a proven myth) is having full battery when replacing system files.
As for the original question, if your battery dies after wiping ALL partitions you can completely wipe your device. When flashing a ruu it is accessing all partitions, but when flashing a normal rom it typically only wipes the system and data partition. As long as you have a recovery partition you can reflash any bad flash. As long as you can access boot loader you should be able to flash any ruu. But anytime you are messing with system files I think it is safe to say you don't want your phone to actually die and kill the process at some incomplete point.
When flashing roms I've never had it use more than 7%, so I'd say starting at 15% or more should be pretty safe.. but flashing at 100% will obviously write any system file that tells the phone what the battery capacity is, so I will always recommend it. If there is such a thing as the system checking battery capacity at all.

i have flashed my panasoni p55 but it does not have battery charged .it is showing no response what should i do now?????
Current issue
Odin recognizes phone. I can get to download mode. it turns off. Ive let it set for 24 plus hours prior to this and there is no change. It will stay on for 10 to 15 seconds then turn off.
I have repartitioned, put in a new pit and kernel. it will not stay on long enough to install a new ROM.
leading up to this i had a sleep of death issue. that progressively got worse. It would turn on and be fine tell it went to sleep i could use all the apps if i stopped and it went to sleep i would have to reboot. I had during this point cleared all the cache devlik etc. to no avail. i then decided to flash to stock. I got about 10 seconds into the ROM flash and it turned off. now I'm at the point described above.
This has been w/ and w/o sim and external flash memmory
Thank you for any suggestions and help.
How old is your battery, and what kernels have you experienced this with?
What is a quick recap of what you were running/tried while this SOD problem started occurring, seems related to the DL mode shutting off.
Battery is the orginal, but i have 2 batterys 2 vibes. i switch batteries every month or so due to im more battery heavy then my wife, i have used them both fully charged.
Icy Glitch or subzero, though i think it was Icy. i was running slim ics. this is the only kernel i have ever had a sod problem.
Only extra apps i have installed or had issue with, 1 kindle stopped working on me well b4 any of this happend around 3 weeks or so. i installed adilko. Also installed calorie counter and myfitness pal these are the only 2 that really can be related. I had started using myfp more then the other for cutting.
only run music for during work, eh and for books, no games. i use advanced task killer to kill extra apps, a couple times a day to save on battery,
otherwise phone calls and txting.
Can you boot to recovery mode? If you can, try a factory data reset. You could use adb to push a kernel zip to your internal sd and flash through cwm but only if you can actually boot into recovery mode. If that doesn't work you could try flashing a different kernel through odin. Kernels usually flash in less than 10 seconds in my experience.
