hey. i was just wondering what will happen if i was flashing a rom or a kernel and my battery died?
That's why they say make sure you have atleast 60% of battery before you flash a kernel/ROM

It can be disastrous, make sure to have more than 50% of juice left before flashing roms or kernels. Better safe than sorry

Once I flashed a kernel and ROM when I had 11% of battery and nothing happened. I know, I'm crazy
Flashed kernel with 6%. Still have a working phone.

With touch recovery, battery indicator is always present so any time you are there you will always know the amount puff battery you have left before proceeding to flashing.
With it, I once successfully flashed a new kernel and modem with 3% remaining

Soft brick... of course.

i dont think its "Soft Brick" coz you have no battery left the phone will not even turn on (even in recovery)
I've heard a few cases where people hardbricked their phone because their phone disconnected from their PC while flashing via Odin. Personally, I've flashed once when my battery was only 3-5% (don't remember what exactly was left), but as said before, better safe than sorry.

It's safer to charge your phone while flashing rom. I have been flashing roms more than 10 times, I don't think the battery will "die".
My x10 is about 2 1/2 years old now. I'm unlocked bootloader and running Wolf's ROM. In the past month the phone has started shutting off randomly...it gives me an 'Android System...shutting down' message...sits on the screen for 10 seconds or so and then turns off. Doesn't matter what battery % i have left. Often when recording video but yesterday it did it in the camera app and then once checking twitter. Sometimes it can go days without doing it...other days its just really annoying.
Any thoughts?

I put in my first sentence that I'm on Wolf's ROM.
Check out the battery status/percentage when it shuts down again... the message you are getting is the common one when phone is on low battery..

Okay, but as I indicated in my first post, it doesn't matter what % of battery I have left. It has happened at 54%, 29%, 25%, 46% etc...

Looks like a battery issue... try wiping battery stat from recovery ( that's doesn't do anything to improve battery life) and let's see how battery holds up, that doesn't work try different ROM with different kernel... try tech devils ROM with doomlords kernel as it gave me almost 2 day battery life.. nothing works then buy a new battery...

Ok thanks. I'm on Doomkernel as well...and it never used to happen on any ROM i have had loaded. I'm going to pick up a battery anyways as I don't get the life out of it I used to.

When you have a new battery try a very lite ROM... having a lite rom helps in improving battery life.

Oh, yeah I kind of forgot that . I never used Wolf's ROM but Donut HD had this issue too. Make a full backup of Your ROM and erase the data (best also reflash the ROM). I hope this is only a data problem, not any hardware mulfunction

Thanks...but i've been on Wolf's ROM fo rmonths without issue. I did try restoring an old backup of it...no good. Then i completely wiped everything and reflashed it and reinstalled all my apps...and that didn't help
I think it's likely the battery.
I've just resolved this problem with my phone the battery is dying the cells inside are separating get a new battery to solve the problem then make sure to follow the instructions given with new battery then carry out a battery calibration aswell ive done this and my phone is back to how I used to be

Hi guys,
I`ve bought international sgs3 some weeks ago with ICS, after using it some time, I decided update OS to JellyBean. After this I noticed that battery is discharging much faster than with ICS. Maybe there is a way to fix it?
Thanks for the answer,
same issue noticed here, try to disable google now no significant improvement observed!
No issues here after upgrade
No problems....
I've suffered from rubbish battery life since JB as well. Tried all sorts of different ROMs, tried trouble shooting using Better Battery Stats, and it's still not acceptable. I'm thinking about going to another phone, because i don't have the time to keep trying to sort it out.

Not the kernel - do the right thing and investigate what is causing it.
Then report in an informed manner.

Could be your battery, maybe is damaged.
Check it, if it is a little big and isnt flat is maybe damage and you need one new.
Try doing a fully charge, but i think is the battery. It happened to me.
Nope the battery is fine.... Its flat and nothing is damaged

try flashing a diff kernel (may be Dorimanx v7.22) and then see for the issue
Hi, sorry for breaking in into other people's thread, but I've been getting terrible battery life and random crashes. I tried severeal different rom/kernel/baseband/android versions combinations and always had the phone dying on me. The weird part was that it only happened when the phone was not plugged in. When it was charging, this problem would not happen at all.
Well, after your post about the battery damage I checked mine and it indeed seems a little bigger than normal. Do you think its possible that a damaged battery could cause it?

Amazed the more experienced members who have replied to this thread thus far have missed the obvious & not suggested the OP install BetterBatteryStats. Something weird is causing that drain, I'm not understanding why you'd suggest someone go out & buy a new battery in the first instance when there's nothing outwardly physically wrong with the battery.
OP - Install BetterBatteryStats, have a look at the thread on here to get an idea of what kind of info/screenshots you need to post to that thread for someone there to help you out. Then do exactly that.

Thanks a lot Sir... Appreciate it... I was actually going to the store rite now to buy a new battery...
Now may be after a few days if I don't find a solution or if my battery is really damaged (can't understand why cause my battery is only 8 months old)
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
YW I'm not saying you'll definitely be able to track down what's causing the drain with BBS, but it's certainly worth a try before you fork out $ for a new battery (especially given your phone is still usable in the meantime). If you end up not being able to find anything with BBS, then you go buy a new battery.
I repalced my battery after one yeat
But I can say tham I am heavy user
The reson I replaced it it was give me a mad reading some times up some times down with no app causing battery drian
Tell my phone begin to shut down when using any app want cpu higher frequencies
So I get new one cause when keep it on charge and use it nothing occur
I suggest you to get a new battery
And charge it well before use
Then let him drop about 15
Then make full charge
And dont let him get down 40

Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you managed to know what was the problem? If so, how did you solve it?
I'm experiencing something similar, but after reading a lot of threads it seems that no one knows what is the problem.
For me it started after deleting the battery stats (I know it doesn't make sense) and reflashing a ROM ( I was using the ROM before without a problem). Oh well, let me know how it went for you.
Cheers.

Hve u tried changing the kernel and seen for now
You probably have done something else your phone will not behave this way. I have an S2 since day one and despite numerous hacking & ROM/kernel change, I have yet to experience anything like what you had posted. Another possible explanation is a weakening battery.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
well here are some possible solutions
1. Your battery was faulty meaning the one you bought was faulty bt worked for abt some charges
2. You have to many applications installed running in the background (keep the ones u only need)
3. try reseting battery gauage
4. you are charging ur phone while using applications and games which doesnt give efficient charging
5. Try airpush app to see weather there apps which are ad supported and remove them
6. try another jb rom with the latest siyah kernel which is currently in beta
try battery calibrate app
try installing betterbatterystats app (search on google play) and give a couple of cycles and then compare the log while changing/trying different kernels, and see which one works better for you.
make sure that you are not a victim of the media scanner issue:
