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

Try your OEM A/C charger. Some people have reported the phone will only recognize that when the battery is fully drained.
Yeah.....return that! That is not normal at all.

Once I had my phone drain so low it died (not just turned itself off) and when I hooked up the charger, it took several minutes for the indicator light to come on and go into charging mode. Have you left it on the OEM charger for several minutes?

I'm actually experiencing this right now. It has been on the charger for about 10 minutes and still wont boot. I had a white light, now it is green. Going to give it a little more time and see how it plays out.

Yep, mine also started as white and evidently that means a completely drained battery. It changed to green and started charging soon after.

After about 15-20 minutes the phone booted up on its own. Just an FYI for anyone who thinks there phone is not working after it dies.
I've had this problem too. I just figured, it's a SMARTphone, it'll figure itself out This has easily happened to me over 5 times, and phone still works fine and holds over a day charge.
This seem strangely odd. I was on cm9, and while my phone was charging I unplugged it and went to pick up my dad. I look at the screen and the charging icon still appears on the battery indicator. So I rebooted and it went away. Forward to later than night I put the charger in and again unplugged it for use and the battery indicator was still flashing that was charging.
I figure I'm going to use aokp so that should fix it, but but it didn't I restarted and nothing so I pull the battery out and the strangest thing the phone kept showing the battery charging icon with of course the cable not being plugged it just keep looping turning on and off showing the icon. Couldn't even get to recovery because the battery icon loop. I even took the battery out and plug in the charger. Cable and the icon showed again like it was charging the battery but the battery was pull out.
I though my phone was broke.. And though I would take it to the art repair center in my town but after I put battery in and connected the charged and left it charge for 5 minutes the phone work again

I was gonna write a big paragraph about trying to fix things on yer own and spending time on it. And not just posting within the first 10 minutes of something going wrong cause if u wait another 10 u could probably have fixed it WITHOUT posting a new thread, but....oh I did just write a paragraph. Bam.

For a couple weeks now, ever since I had to fix my Music player not showing my files, my phone has had this weird habit:
It'll be plugged in. All the time. Pretty much 24/7. But as soon as I take it off the charger - give or take a few minutes - it will turn off. No warning. No nothing. To turn the phone back on, it has to be charging. When I turn it back on, the battery % will be anywhere between 0% and 100%.
I have no idea what's going on, and it's making it impossible to use the phone off the charger without the battery charger pack. And that lasts what - an hour at best?
I thought it might be the ROM I had installed, and I was going to revert to the stock ROM today, but I instead upgraded from 2.3.7 LiquidSmooth to LiquidSmooth's new ICS ROM. I thought it would work, but after setting everything up and letting go of the charger, it died again in a couple minutes. The difference this time was that it showed the htc screen, but then went black and nothing. With the old rom, it just went black and done.
I apologize if there's another thread on this, but I haven't been able to find anything online in the past week or three.
Thanks in advance.
Mine has been doin the same thing. Sometimes being difficult to turn back on. Totally stock phone. I think mostly when plugged in. I will try to keep track.

So far today it has shut down 3 times. Once while plugged in and twice not. All 3 times sent the batt from 3/4 charge to under 5% when I fired the phone up. I am usingthe stock batt but am going to maybe wedge somethingbetween the batt and the cover to see if it wil do anything. I dont want to do a full reset.....i may be switching to the galixy 3. But rumers of a 4 in beginning of 2013 may have me holding off.

Yeah sounds like the battery has given up the ghost.
My phone has been doing this as well. This is the stock battery from March 2010. This only happens when Im not on WiFi. Also this only started after I flashed from the ICS leak to another ROM. I think its strange, but I ordered a new battery to be sure.
yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

Hey, guys!
I've had my I9100 for almost 3 months now. Everything was working fine till last week. I was charging my phone, left it overnight and when I woke up in the morning, unplugged it and it didn't turn on. Thought the phone bricked by itself but when I connected a home-made jig I have it turned on but when it booted the battery was 0%.
Did some research around here and connected it to a 1A charger and left it charging (phone off) for an hour and that fixed the problem. But Two days ago, every time I use my phone and the battery discharges till 60%, the screen flickers a tiny bit and the phone turns off. When I try to turn the phone on, it gets to the booting animation and then it turns off. Sometimes it would boot and the battery indicator would show a charge of 13% or even 1%. It turns on and stays on if I connect it to the charger and let it charge but when I unplug it, it would do the same when it gets the 60%.
The only way I've made it go under 60% charge is if I wipe the batt stats when is charged and when I re-charge it, goes back to the 60% issue. I've been thinking about buying a new battery but I'm not sure if is the phone or the battery and came here to ask.
Will try to borrow a battery from a friend today and see if the problem persists.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: I'm running Jellybam 7.2.0
Goto stock and use it for couple of days.

I swapped batteries with a friend that also has a stock I9100 and my battery did the same to his phone. Guess is time to get a battery replacement.

hi, i am actually facing the same problem as you. i got my i9100 for around 3 months now. 1 month ago i updated to stock jelly bean 4.1.2. it was only until last week when the battery issue surface. i had my phone charged to 100%. switched it off for the night. when i attempt to switch it on again in the day, the phone would not start up and reflects that its battery level is 0%. for subsequent days i have observed the following:
First the phone can never be fully charged. it will reflect that the charge is complete and request to remove the charging cable.
Secondly, i realized that when i removed cable, the notification to remove the cable did not disable.
Lastly, when i restart my phone, the battery level will drop to 70 - 80% range. Currently i am suspecting its a software issue. trying to install a updated stock rom now.
One more issue. whenever i switch off my phone, the giant battery logo will keep appearing in the middle of the black screen. i will not be able to switch on the phone unless i enters its recovery mode and select "reboot now manually". maybe you can verify if you have the same issue with your faulty battery? i am currently trying to troubleshoot the root of my battery problem.
any help is appreciated!

Your battery is probably damaged too, since everything was fine for almost 3 weeks, as you mentioned. If it was a software issue, I guess it would have caused problems since you updated the phone. I'd recommend you to check if your battery is swollen: take the battery off, put it on a flat surface and try to spin it. If it spins a lot, then it is swollen and you need a replacement.
Hope this helps
