Hi guys. Today when I was trying to charge my GS2, there was popup said 'battery disconnected'. I've tried to take out the battery for a few minutes, but the problem has not been solved. I am running checkromv4 and siyah kernel right now, just updated to siyah 2.6.12 last night. Can anyone help me? BTW, I am using the stock battery.
Are you able to charge it ? If you are (even tho this probably won't make a difference, but it might), charge it to 100% & delete battery stats in RedPill Recovery.
If this doesn't work (probable), try an earlier build of Siyah. If that doesn't help, go back to stock firmware & see if you can reproduce the problem. If you have no problems with stock, then it would obviously be a problem with that build of Siyah or your rom.
If you still have the problem running stock firmware, it would probably indicate a problem with the battery or something else hardware related. Perhaps try another battery. Failing that, back to Samsung/your telco for repair.
just take out the battery again this afternoon for ten minutes, and the problem seems like sloved so far. I can charge now, but have to take a try tonight. Thanks for your help.

This is an old thread, but I recently had this same problem with my Galaxy Note i717. After worrying about it for awhile and searching to find this thread, I took my battery out and examined it, and of the three terminals, the middle one had a piece of plastic broken off of the battery, covering the terminal. So the phone was getting power, but apparently couldn't communicate with the battery, and so for its own safety, wouldn't let me charge
Hopefully this helps someone else!

EDIT: Also I tried charging to 100%, and clearing the stats etc, to no avail.
battery disconnected simple fix
pull out the battery take a 12v battery of your car or UPS touch the terminals -+ to your phone's -+ as - to - and +to+ remember just two or three times kisses only . now put battery back in phone Done....
First....why revive a thread that no one has visited in over 3 years.....
And second.......seriously? Connect a high capacity 12 volt source directly across the phones battery terminals?
To whoever reads this.....
DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THIS.....
It is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and incredibly stupid to even *think* of doing it. It WILL destroy your device and it will likely cause you to suffer burns and possibly start a fire.....

Hi. I have a very frustrating issue I hope someone can help with.
Over the last 3 days or so, my s2 has started to randomly shut itself down. It only appears to happen when I'm using an app, nothing specific, it can happen anytime.
The battery level has been anything from around 75% to 30%.
Sometimes when I turn it back on, the battery shows I am at 1 or 2 %, making me think it might be some kind of calibration problem, but I've tried the suggested method to no avail. I've also completely fresh installed the Rom I was on (neat Rom) and tried another (disaster Rom) but the problem remains.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing the random shut downs?
Thank you

Are you undervolting/ under clocking this can cause a sod
Hi. Nothing like that, just used neat Rom or disaster Rom as they come.

Your phone(battery) has insane gauge chip search for this it answer in your question(it's only for battery)
Happy new year

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure my issue is to do with the guage chip directly, as my phone will switch itself off at any battery level. The issue designed in the other thread its having something like 56% and then having a much lower value after an intended reboot.
Shutdown it's called sleep of death( scary name) but it not death it's just sleeping forever... it problem with your kernel and battery problem is insane gauge chip...
Happy new year

I've just charged to full charge, unplugged - and within 2 minutes, the phone froze, could not do anything - so i pressed the power button until it went off, and it booted back up again without me doing anything - when it booted, it showed i had 2% battery. Then it did the same thing, froze, i had to reboot - then it showed 37% battery.........no idea what's going on apart from maybe a faulty battery...
Buy new battery. It was here on the forum a few times.
Yes. When phone hot(sometimes not) it take battery about 50-60%(I don't know exactly) but sometimes it add battery...
If you flash siyah kernel with stweaks(5 version) you can reset it but chip do funny thing even you reset...
Happy new year
Paulius
try Battery caliberation app ...
if it doesnt work buy a new battery
What are you talking about ? It's not battery Fault it's Insane Gauge Chip.... And Battery Calibration not helping...
I decided to go the whole hog and go back to a stock unrooted ICS, after wiping everything, then CFRoot - then reinstalled Neatrom light - currently restoring apps via Titanium - fingers crossed...
I think you don't have anymore BSOD But if you have flash Syiah kernel
Try new kernel and reset fuel gage
Try installing a new kernel like siyah or dorimanx and then reset your battery log this should resolve your problem if not buy a new battery.

I think I have a very similar issue. The randomly reboots happens several times a day, it does not happen though when charging (never). By now I'm on jb leak and still have the issue. When it shuts down, the sreen dims a bit and then it's gone, the weird thing is that often I have to pull the battery or charge the phone before reboot is possible, the battery shows different values after rebooting, sometimes close to what was before (especially when rebooting on charger), and sometimes way off the values before. I came initially from slimrom with siyah or dorimanx kernel, I really hoped jb leak would help (also tried different kernels), but it didn't. It also seems to me that it happens more often with the sd card (32gb) and without the phone seems more stable, but still it happens from tme to time. Once the screen dim (only one or two steps) and shut down even happend when in CWM recovery, is it maybe hardware related? It's very hard to find the source of the problem, anybody else experience similar issues? By the way the shutdown I have is not a proper shut down, the phone doesn't show the message "is shutting down".
I've completely wiped, used Odin to go back to ics stock, installed cfroot, then installed neatrom light. Had the same issue, so I've installed siyah, and used stweaks to reset the battery fuel gauge. I've only been off charge for 10 mins so far, but normally it would have shut down by now, so here's hoping...

Update - battery was at 89%, and the phone shut down, when rebooted, it showed 28%, then when plugging in while it was shut down, the battery icon showed about 50%. Like a previous reply, it never happens on charge, so it does appear that the battery is knackered, time to go shopping I guess :-\

I had the same problem - SOD several times a day. I change the batery with a fresh new samsung 2000 mA one.
Unfortunatelly SOD came back, but I found a trick: turn off WiFi. Use it only manually.
For the past 3 months I succeded to have 0 SOD's.
I know that manual WiFi is a setback but it works with those experiencing SOD.
Hope it will be usefull.
Hi guys,
My battery life was getting shorter and shorter. So, I decided to buy me a new battery. I tried the battery and my phone turned on with the green charging battery.
As I turned my phone on when it was filled 100%, my phone gets stuck at the beginning (black screen Samsung galaxy blabla with the yellow triangle)
I thought this was weird so I started it in recovery/download and this does work.
After choosing for reboot I got the omega rom loading GIF, and suddenly I got KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE.
I decided to try a battery from a friend (also Gt-i9100). This battery just worked in his phone so why shouldn't it work with mine.
As I tried it, I first got the message battery too low. But the battery was full in my friends phone. So I tried again, also stuck at the beginning screen.
To make it even more stupid: My friends phone wont boot either after I used his battery.
As I was really tired of this sh*, I decided to put my old stupid battery back in my phone so I could use it for +- 6 hours a charge.
Now my phone is stuck at the beginning with all the 3 batteries.
I tried to re-flash my omega rom, but it's still the same issue.
Is there something going on with my kernel? I thought I could erase the battery stats, but thats not a option in this CWM.
I'm really stressed, because like all of you, I need my phone every day.
Do you guys have any advice, tips or sollutions for my/our problem?
Searching and reading the topics that already discuss the points you made would be a start. :good:
Kill the phone, it's evil.
Regards.
Mark Battery.

Maybe there is something faulty with the battery inferace of the phone or maybe you're just unlucky. I don't understand why your friends phone wouldn't boot after you used the battery - that doesn't make any sense - but either way, I'd order a new battery from a reputable retailer, if it stops working again in a similar way then get the phone fixed/replaced.
My suspicion is that it's either a fault with the phone or that there is something you're not telling us. I can't see how the battery (hardware) could cause your ROM (software) not to work unless the link between the battery and phone is damaged, in which case you need to replace the phone.
Recently I notice my I717 is shutting down randomly, and experiencing battery issues. For example I can be running any app or browsing the web or whatever and the phone fully shut down without notice. In the past I recalled the phone least prompting me with a message a saying phone powering off. It also take 2-3 tries of holding power button phone vibrate before come back on. when I finally get phone to power on it say 15% battery life. This where it get strange, reboot phone again, and it now say 87% charge. WTF is what I'm thinking, it jump 72% battery life after reboot. Also its not my ROM cause I try 3 different 4.2.2 custom roms, and went back to an 4.0.4 custom rom. Still same problem, any insight would be helpful thanks in advance.
I think I may have gave her Whiplash the way I pulled my Big Black.........GALAXY NOTE out!
Signature is uncalled for ........but maybe try wiping your phone completely ...internal and android secure ....and do a CLEAN install

Battery dead.
Remove your battery and check if it´s deformed, like thicker than the original battery.
Replace it and your good. You don't need to waste your time on clean install etc.
I have had same problem in two differet phones. In both occasions the reason was dead battery.
Hi people, nexus 6P owner since 2 years now. I remember when I received the phone I could reach without worries 5 to 6 hours of Screen but then, after nougat and now Oreo, I've never achieved again that numbers.
After rooting my phone, flashing carbon rom and installing elemental X kernel, I played with governor profiles and improved my SOT a little over this year but it was getting worser and worser by every day (2 to 3 hours of screen on time and heavy idle drain). Finally, the real problem came the other day when for the first time my phone shutdown at 29% suddenly after opening the camera.
So I read internet and found in the nexus 6 (not 6P) forums that someone suggested a solution concerning a problem with how the phone meter the battery remaining, suggesting doing a series of steps of charge discharge that I will list here. This, and changing to ABC rom may have done the trick, as now I'm getting much more normal battery life (considering the degradation of 2 years, 2700mah left approximately) of 4, 4 and a half hours (yours will be better) SoT and an idle drain of less than 0,5% per hour, and apparently it didn't shutdown early anymore.
So, give this steps a try if you tried everything like I did and you still having problems with battery drain.
STEPS THAT MAY SOLVE EARLY SHUTDOWN PROBLEM:
- Charge your phone to 100% and use it until it shutdowns (look at what percentage).
- Boot to recovery by pressing power and vol - button, and once in there let it drain the battery until it shutdowns by itself (may take a lot of time so increase brightness to maximum in the recovery menu under settings to consume it faster).
- Now it has really reached 0% and if you try to power it on it won't let you by blinking red in the notification led.
- Plug the charger and leave the phone off until the battery indicator show it's full.
- Unplug it and turn it on, it should show you the battery at less than 100%, like 95%, 90% or even less depending on how bad it was calibrated (mine showed 95%).
- Plug it to the charger without turning it off until reaching 100% and only then unplug it first and then turn it off quickly.
- Plug it one more time (off) until the icon shows it is full and then unplug it and turn it on, now it should say a number closer than before, like 98% or 99% (mine was 99) or it may be 100%. If it shows 100% then you're good to go with the calibration, but if it shows less, repeat the process by letting charge until 100 and then doing the same steps as before until you turn it on without charging and finally it shows 100% battery.
Please report back if this steps worked for you, because for me I think it made the trick.
Now for the battery drain what I did was this steps,
STEPS THAT MAY STOP THE POST-NOUGAT HEAVY BATTERY DRAIN (android OS drain, etc):
-Unlock and Root the phone
- Install ABC rom (check the post here in XDA)
- Flash ElementalX kernel (also here)
- Install the app "ex kernel manager" from the play store
- Enter settings and disable printers (you still can enable them if you have to print something)
- Install Greenify from the play store and select all the apps that don't use notifications.
- Uninstall unnecessary apps that you don't use anymore.
- In the Ex Kernel manager app go to CPU -> governor options and select "load". Choose one of the following recommended profiles: Excalibur V2, Dragon Fly v1, Butterfly or DeadPool. (Or check the guide in XDA about governor profiles).
- Finally activate the run on boot option and reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache and then boot into system.
If you have luck like me, your phone will run very smooth and battery life will be normal to it's current degradation. My phone now last me all day like before and I don't have to charge it twice or three times like I did and best of all, when I don't use it, it almost don't lose battery (2 to 3% overnight).
Also I've never seen again that android system process consuming the same amount as the screen!
I hope this serve someone and maybe save some phones too , I never resigned my 6p because it's a great phone with one of the best cameras out there even today and with great speakers too.
Please let me know if it worked for you! Of course I don't promise it will, but you have nothing to lose anyway! Good luck.
Pd. Sorry for my English , I'm from Argentina
UPDATE: Today my nexus shutdown at 10% but only because I opened on purpose the camera to check if that is the problem, and aparently it is. I've read that when then phone has low power, an app that consumes a lot of battery like the camera may cause shutdown to prevent the phone damaging internal components. So no fix for that at the moment, just don't use the camera with low percentage.
Hi, I don't know if this thread is still on but I'd like to say that I had the same issue. I have a Nexus 6, as you said, and I've installed on it the Resurrection Remix ROM (Neo version). After that, the phone suddenly shut down everytime it reaches 20 or 30 %. I tried two solutions they suggested me;
1) In bootloader menu, go on bootloader logs and press start button for 10 seconds more or less (when you get Google logo and the phone actually boot)
2) Try to reboot the phone in Safe mode and then back in Normal mode
I've also tried to calibrate again the battery (maybe I did it wrong); I followed a guide on it but I can't remember every step of it (if interested I'll try to find it again). Nothing worked, the phone still presents the same issue and I really don't know what to do. I'd like to try this too hoping it works otherwise the last thing I can do, I guess, try to flash again the ROM. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much
P.S.
The battery works PERFECTLY; before I flashed the ROM it worked so damn good so I really can't believe that it needs to be replaced, I know that the phone is really old but it always worked fine so it's more logical presume that the problem is with the flashing
Using Stock Nexus 6 Shamu Kernel, with last TWRP and RR OS
Just replace your battery - you might think it's the flashing etc, but at the end of the day my money is on your battery just having called it day, which they can do quite suddenly.
I found that once that early shut down starts it gets worse quick.
It's not that big of deal to change out on these phones anyway and if you do it yourself it's cheap (15 dollars or so). - I've just done it for the second time, not that I was having early shutdowns with my first replacement but after about 18 months life was starting to wane.
Just sharing my experience with my nexus 6p.
Early shutdown problem sure gives us headache. Already tried several methods like calibration, reflashing to factory images, downgrade to minor build or major build, none of them works.
The only solutions that works for me is replace the battery, only cost between $10 to $20 for me (it depend on type battery that you buy, mine is OEM one)
Hello, giving a try to the OP guide regarding early battery shut down. Just a quick question - how long does it take for battery to drain out while in recovery mode? Screens been on for like 2hours now, I see top right screen corner the battery % completely disappear, but recovery still usable. Just wonder, how long it will take for phone to auto shutdown while in recovery mode?
And if this does not work, I'll just replace battery, like @reintakura wrote above.
This device is a disaster. Does it really work?
I tried this the other day. The phone shut off when the low battery came on. I kept powering it up. The first few times it shut off immediately. The next time it turned on and said I had 10% left. Let that 10% run down, it powered off. I kept powering it on... it would boot. I did this maybe 50 times, every time it would boot and then shut down. Then the last time it got "stuck" on the Shutting Down screen. I let it sit like that for a good 10 minutes. It never powered off, it just was stuck on the shutting down screen. I held the power button down to initiate a hard shut down. Plugged it into the charger, device off. Screen said it was 100% a few hours later. Turned on device, device reported 100% used it until it got to 70% and then the low battery light came on and it powered off. Let it charge overnight with device off. Right now it's slowly losing battery, I'm at 76% and it hasn't shut down.
Strange stuff going on.
i was facing the same problem, two days ago i returned to 8.1 abc rom
i'm getting 4h sot and no early shutdown
I can't believe I spent $200 on this **** phone and waited 3 years to get it thinking its the best thing since fried rice, mine started shutting down at 20-30% now it shuts down anywhere from 30-85%!!!!!!!! ahahahahahaha in the end its my fault for buying refurbished, someone obviously sent this crap back already and they did nothing to fix it and conned me into buying it.

Hi, there. This reply is way late, but I've been away for years and I've only now decided to come back, so I'm necroposting on everything that's relevant to me right now. I hope that's not a serious offense.
I've had my 6P since August 2016. I bought it NOS from Google Fi at a slight discount. It worked like a charm for me for years until around winter 2018/2019, when it started shutting down in the cold. I figured that was understandable. I bike a lot, even in sub-zero temperatures, and I tended to keep my phone in the breast pocket of my windbreaker.
It didn't care too much for that.
So, I started putting it into my backpack and it stopped shutting down.
Then, this summer (2020), the battery went off a cliff. It's been dying anywhere from 80 to 10% since June. Maps and the Camera are the big killers, but the battery will plummet from literally any use.
Yet, it will idle for days if leave it alone.
I recently decided to just wipe the thing back to factory and see if that solved anything. It was quite a feeling to scuttle all of my SMS (I backed them up to my Google account, but it seems like they've gone to some mysterious corner of the Internet from which they cannot be retrieved. Alas). It was kind of a catharsis to throw it all away.
I did back up all my media, however.
The factory reset solved nothing, so I tried the OP's recommendation. I loaded into the bootloader and, instead of waiting on the primary screen, I went into (stock) Recovery (my phone isn't yet rooted) and ran the display test a bunch of times. I alternated between that and selecting "Barcodes" since the all white screen is a bigger drain on the battery than the black and green default.
Eventually, the thing died, but it took hours. This, despite that it would die at the snap of the fingers when in the OS. Strange. I charged the device while off until it said it was full. It came on at 95%. I followed the OP's guide until it turned on at 100.
Yet, it still started draining immediately.
The current culprit is "Mobile Network Standby," which is rich because this phone has no SIM, so why is it even bothering to try and futz with the mobile network? I had been keeping the device on Airplane Mode, but I'd forgotten to turn it back on. I just reactivated that mode, so we'll see if that helps.
However, if I watch a guitar repair video on YouTube (pretty staid, not like gaming or an action movie), the battery just nosedives again.
I don't think that rooting and flashing a new ROM is going to solve this issue.
I bought a replacement battery. I'm just not eager to try and install it. So I may just try root and flash, since it's easier. I guess we'll see what happens.

I reckon that you are correct. However, I am noticing that my phone hasn't crashed since I followed the OPs charging guide. That's something, at least.
Although monstrous battery drain is still a huge problem. I will be swapping the battery.
My question is: root first and flash something custom, just to see what happens? For evidence gathering ... in the name of empiricism.
Or just go ahead with the swap before doing anything else?
