[Q] Battery and lock screen - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Recently after update to ICS, there is a process named SIM Contacts and it drains lots of my battery. I put my phone overnight and it drains 10% of my battery. I've tried to stop it but after a while it automatically be back.
Another issue is that while playing some games, my phone suddenly go back to the slide to unlock screen. It's not a force stop, i just have to unlock the screen again but it's kinda annoying to me. Is there any solution for these kind of issues?

After flashing Jokers CM9 ICS Rom problems

As the title states I flashed the latest CM9 ICS rom from Joker and It started off working fine after getting the radio to finally work but now it randomly turns off and i won't be able to turn it back on unless i do a battery pull and also the phone tends to overheat way too much. I didn't flash anything other then the Gapps and the rom itself.

It's overclocked by default. So that's probably heating it up. I recommend lowering it to 1ghz or lower. As for the radio... it's turning off? Or data? Just curious.

i'm not to sure how exactly to do that but i'll do some searching. and at first the radio just wasn't picking up a provider but then i flashed the 0.3.1 or w.e it was first and now that is working. the only issue now is that it will reboot randomly and thats the biggest problem for me. I thought it had something to do with the overheating?

Its a beautiful rom, however I had to switch to miui because I started getting an error "the process android.phone.com has stopped unexpectedly" and I would lose all service. I couldn't take it anymore.

If either of you get that error with no service all you have to do is flash a previous version such as 0.3.0. Reboot into the OS. Go back to the recovery and update to the latest. Do not wipe anything when updating! It's an easy fix and all will work afterwards. Flash them twice if necessary.

@Mr white I love this rom which is why I want it to stop rebooting randomly just do what @na7q said and it should work I'm just curious if it's the overclocking and over heating that's causing it to reboot?
Now it seems like it shuts down when I have wifi connected after some time. Any suggestions?

EDIT: also it only shuts down whenever the phone is sleeping never when i'm actually using it

I am having the same issue. But strangely it only seems to happen when I am outside. The first time I noticed it was when I went fishing. My phone had about 80% charge, and when I picked it up maybe 30 mins later is was scorching hot. To the point that it burnt me. And it had shut off. I didn't have it in the sun or anything. It was in the shade inside a bag. I was not able to get it to turn on even with a battery pull even after it had cooled down. The battery completely drained in a matter of minutes. I couldn't even get it to charge in the truck on the car charger, either. It got too hot on the charger to the point it wouldn't even get a charge. This has happened about 3 or 4 times since. It will go from a full battery, get super hot, and completely drain within minutes. This never used to happen in the house, it was only an issue outside. until today. Went fishing, phone had full charge. It managed to hold the battery for a couple hours, unlike the other times, but eventually got hot and died. Then when I got home, plugged it into the charger and went to sleep, woke up a couple hours later and it was burning hot, and had no charge. Other things on it are acting weird now, as well. The screen keeps turning on and off every few seconds by itself. I don't know what the issue is, but I might have to switch back to stock if I can't find a solution. Because eventually this is going to fry my phone. And I don't want that to happen. It is also a huge inconvenience for your phone battery to drain in a matter of minutes and become a useless paperweight when you are in the middle of nowhere and need a form of communication in an emergency.

Is anyone having issues where Gtalk with FC when trying to do video chat?

possible brick w/ no dl mode?!?

Last night I installed 7-22 JB kt Kernel over 7-20 CM 10 (wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions) and had an extremely strange issue. I plugged my phone in and all was good, charging ect. When I went to sleep I had my phone plugged in to charge since battery was quite low. I woke up and picked up my phone to check emails and my phone was off. I booted it back up and noticed I only had 7% left on batt. So I checked battery usage in settings and saw a bunch of spaces like the phone was turned off then back on numerous times (50+ times). and in between restarts were marks on charging bar too. So I went out to do my daily things and charged my phone. (it would only charge to 60%all day) I used my phone alot and the battery died because I was not near a charger. Now phone will vibrate and led will flash but not charge. I cant get into download mode either. I'm hoping its just a glitch with my battery or sonething but I'm getting no response from phone after it vibrates.
Edit: I have ss of battery but cant access phone
U can try zo pull out the bat for at least 10 minutes then insert it back and see if that fixes your issue got that once in the past on my sgs2 while flashing a corrupted 3 part rom and fixed it this way

Sudden shutdown and Sudden battery drain

Hi all, I have a very serious problem here. Please help me out.
Whenever I am using my phone for more than around 10-15 mins continuously, even though battery is around 80-85%, I lose network all of a sudden, the phone flickers or flashes or blinks for a moment and shuts down all of a sudden. When I try to boot it again, it says battery low and many times, it wont boot only. When it is about to be botted only it gets turned off. the solution is to connect to charger when it shuts down. At first, on connecting, it shows zero battery, and immediately battery level will be restored to the previous level, after blinking again in the charging screen and then only I can turn it on. What is the issue?
I also tried wiping data/factory reset.. Wipe cache and dalvik wipes repeatedly. Tried many roms like resurrection 2.6, 3.01, XWLPM stock rom, Salman ROM, etc. The same issue happens in all the roms as well.
Somebody do reply!

That sounds serious, have you tried sending it to the customer service? It's helpful if you're still on warranty..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
well do one thing- try flashing another kernel too- anything will do - siyah maybe. 1% chance of it working..
and if it doesn't, what this means is that it is most probably a hardware issue- and you would need to get your phone checked in the service center.
Have you tried a different battery?

Maybe battery failure! try with a different battery if no change and everything was like before then I suggest you to send it to customer service as soon as possible.
Same thing for Stock
I experienced the same thing on Stock samsung unrooted rom 4.0.3
I suddenly found that my phone is not responding and is heated up too much, I quickly removed the battery and after letting it to cool off restarted it.
Was amazed to see battery came down to 20% from 80%, Post this incident it is working fine
Now I have tried multiple kernels and Roms and it still is working awesomely on everything I throw at it

Thanks for the replies
Turns out its some battery problem. I swapped mine with a friend's battery. He is facing the same issues now and I am not facing any issue. In ebay and flipkart, it shows original battery costs just 559 Rs(around 10$). Is the original battery available for such a cheap price? Or is it not genuine?
It sounds suspiciously cheap.. mmmmm. You should try going for the legit 2000mAh from samsung longer battery life haha so much win

Hi yashwanthms,
Just to let you know, currently I'm facing exactly the same issue.
During or after using camera, gps or usage of data, the screen flickers and then after a few seconds it freezes and shuts down. Switching it on doesn't work, because it thinks the battery is dead while still having 50% left or something like that. It does however work when it is plugged into power.
Thanks for your reply of your battery replacement. I will try the same thing and see if it works out.
Still a question though: did you buy a new battery and what were your results afterwards?
Kind Regards,
Ahsimmis
same issue here
After reading above posts, I'm sure it is a battery issue. I use hotspot and GPS a lot which is why I've to charge a lot and charge while docked to car cigarette lighter too, no wonder the battery didn't last more than a year. Will buy a new battery tomorrow and post the result here.

Like others said, I think it's battery problem. Do not use cheap unreliable batteries, nor leave your phone charging after 100% charged for a long time. This would affect your battery performance. Experienced that using my back-up battery, from 25%, sudden shutdown. My original battery would alert me first "Battery is now low, please recharge now". The back-up won't.
This is to confirm that I've purchased a new battery from Samsung franchise store. It is doing fine.
Cost me Rs.800 which is like $18. The store didn't have any retail battery in stock but they provided me one from one of the phones on display. I'm not sure if I did the right thing by taking it but I needed one badly and none of the stores I went to had any in stock for retail (there are like 15 of them in a 2km radius)
This is happening to both mine and my wife's Galaxy S II's. Screen flickers, shuts down, comes back with zero battery, plug it in to charge for a few minutes, suddenly back to ~80%. I've also found the phone is hot when this happens, pulled the battery and its NOT the battery that is hot, the phone itself is (feels hottest right below the camera, just above the battery port).
I ordered a replacement battery for her and it cleared the issue for about 2 weeks but now its happening again. The replacement was a genuine Samsung OEM, same maH, same part number.
My phone is rooted with a custom ICS kernel, her's is factory ICS.
I've ordered a new battery for my phone too to try, but I'm not convinced its solely a battery issue.

I have the same problem, change the battery with new one but still it happens & I am afraid it may be hardware!
Phone is not root & running official rom 4.0.4
I have changed battery and now it works ok. But yesterday, the phone freezed and became very hot. I rebooted it and then the battery level decreased high. After that it works ok again.
same problem
hi there,
I am having the same problem as on the OP. Have already ordered a new battery, because my warranty expired on sep 15th and I was on holidays outside my city and without the invoice
do you have any feedback about changing the battery?
thanks.

[Q] SGS2, more than sleep of death

Hello all, i have searched the forum for the past weeks now for a solution of the SOD (sleep of death), all i can find is new problems but no actual solution. But i think my GS2 is having more than just a sleep of death. It just doesnt tolerate my screen going of. From what i could find, most people have SOD when their device go into DEEP SLEEP. With mine, anything that causes the screen to go dark (e.g power saving during a call) crashes the phone. And it doesnt end at that, Getting the phone to reboot might take me up to 2hrs!!!! when i remove the battery and turn on the phone, its goes directly to CWM and selecting reboot, the screen stays dark and i have to repeat the process all over again till i get lucky (after about 2 hrs) for the phone to reboot (From CWM). Yes, i clear cache.
when the battery is below 30% the phone isnt such a diva, it still have this screen off pain in the a** thing, but rebooting isnt such a pain as when it goes dark and i have to reboot when the battery is at about 80-100%
-Am running CM9 along with the kernel it came with
-flashed different roms but all came with the same problem
-even unrooted and went back to original rom, but still had the same problem
-The phone was once repaired from water damaage. Including a battery change
-Since i started running CM9, while charging the phone, it doesnt get insanely HOT as when it was running original rom or any custom rom
-Downloaded wake lock to keep my phone always on, 24/7 so i kinda feel sorry for the phone as it is always on... and i miss my lock screen
please all u android gurus, help me out with this problem. I totally love this phone and its my first android.
All I can suggest is flash stock ROM, get rid of triangle on boot if you have it and go to service center.

Well thx for the reply. As I mentioned, the phone had water damage before so the warranty is void as they can link any single fault to the water damage. I Also found a spartanian way to solve my problem. I play music on the background and take out the volume. So now my music is on an infinite loop!!! Now I can put my phone to sleep and the battery last way longer than leaving the screen on all the time.
But still, any other suggestions are welcomed.

I have exactly the same problem as you.
I replaced usb port and battery, but still the problem.
For me it works better when the battery is low, than i'm able to send phone in to sleep and wake it up again, but while charging of with the 2000mAh Samsung batterie, the phone freezes in standby and i often can't get it running for a while. I also had your problem, that the phone boots into cwm sometimes.
Could you find a Solution? I also have no warranty and don't want to buy a new mainboard, it's to expensive.

If water damage happened recently (in the past month) I think your problem is water damage, because i think that when you took the phone on repair, they missed some spot cleaning the liquid on the board/under IC's (in the BGA), and now it started messing the circuitry. It has nothing to do with software, but there is one last thing you could try - JTAG... And i work in a service for repairing mobile phones .
Sorry if my English is bad.
Whenever a device goes to cwm upon reboot, software is misbehaving.
Keep on stock, plain stock.
If you like, you can use a nuke script to clean the device for custom ROMs leftovers.

[Q] [Problem] Xperia P - shutdown battery 50-60% only if trying to make a call

Hey guys, need help. I charge battery on my xperia P to 100% and i can use it all the way to almost 0%, its been calibrated, unless i try to press call button (make a call) when the battery is at 50-60% or lower, then it automaticly shutsdown. Then when i try to turn it on it spins load animation then shutdown again. I can do this for hours, but cant get to desktop, also i enter cwm and it stay there for hours.
Only way to get to desktop is to plug the charger and charging it again, although it has more than 50% battery.
So tu sum it up.
Works great if i dont try to make the call to someone
Can play games stream and everything fine to the end of battery
Shutdown imediatlly with no animation or anything
Can access cwm but not the desktop until charged
Tryed honami and dark roms, its the same. I am on the locked bootloader with "No".
I was thinking to buy a new battery on ebay ?!?!
Help please
This problem happens to me when I was using my xperia x10, it not a phone related problem. When I changed the battery it works fine.
