Hi there ppl,
I was normally using my phone (web pages, twitter, etc...). Suddenly screen started to flash with something that reminds scanlines and after that the whole phone got a little bit hot, instantly, and finally it died.
I pulled off and put the battery back to find out that it was completely depleted... now it's normally charging... does anyone knows if this is a sign that the battery will die soon?
Update: More freaking stuff. I just spoke with my girlfriend, she owns a lumia 800 on the same network. The same thing happened to her phone except that the battery died for a few seconds and came back normally (without recharging)...
Cheers

Your battery could be on its last life.
Did you try to take out Battery for 30sec-1min or did you tried to reflash the Firmware?
Try doing a forced full cycle... kill the battery 100%.. Like I mean make it so NOTHING happens when you press your power button, NOTHING, like, no light, no vibrate, nothing.. and keep doing this for 10-20 minutes JUST to be sure ;-)
THEN do a FULL charge...
This has helped me with countless cell phones and ipods. always breaths at least a bit of life
I have a annoying problem, my phone randomly shuts down, as it does the LED flashes red and the phone turns off. I've tried different ROMs and different kernels, changed frequencies etc. I can't seem to get rid of if. I Don't think its battery related as its 90%+.
Any help?
Im on cosmicDans miui atm.
It will be your battery I had the same problem the cells were dying and the phone would shut down from 86% for me i got a new battery and I've never had the problem since I put it in

Thanks for the help, looks like I'll have to fork out £10 for new battery :\
I paid £5 from a little phone repair shop for a new battery

Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

there are many that are not scared, I am and wouldn't do it.
if you are saavy enough, many will open phone up and clean the contacts and switch with a swap and some rubbing alcohol.

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

Yeah it has to be the battery. Earlier today when I was using my note it said low battery at 2%, I looked at my phone afew minutes later and it said 4%?? Lol. The charger wasn't even plugged in.

If my power button was stuck would I see the shutdown menu before it rebooted, shutdown, reboot, sleep, etc? I'm just trying to make sure my battery is the problem.. I don't want to deal with a power button..

No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Oh well then. That's awesome because I'm able to use my phone for more than 5 mins without it shutting down. It usually shuts down when I start playing a game or something intensive. So it has to be the battery! I'm really happy.

Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here... I'm scared to buy a new one thinking that It won't work still... my phone never turns off as much when the charger is in... But guaranteed with battery only. Less than 10 mins.
