crazy charging - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

sometimes when I unplug my player it won't recognize it and continue displaying the blinking charging battery. it doesn't change until I restart it either. today I didn't restart and it even gave me a notification saying it was fully charged even tho it was really at about 25%... do you guys think this is hardware or software causing this??

I think that this is probably a software problem caused by entering a rom without properly clearing the cache partition and a simple reflash back to stock gingerbread should fix this problem. Best of luck!

Reflashing won't fix it. Unfortunately that is a pretty common problem (for me at least), and probably the only fix is some serious kernel modding.

I had this problem on stock gingerbread. but for me it would say it was plugged in when it wasnt. This occurred once on crumble, and has never happened on paranoid.

[Q] WIFI SLEEP POLICY doesn't work....SUGGESTIONS?!!??

I have a GT I9100 with Android 4.0.4, the last English firmware.
If i set the Sleep Policy to turn off WIFI when screen goes off, I have no result: WIFI still goes on & on also when screen is locked. I tryed several official ROM, and to resolve this bug I tryed also CustomROM like CM...but no result. It seems like there is an Hardware problem.
I also tryed to edit "com.android.providers.settins" by creating inside the database, the string "wifi_idle_ms" (because i haven't this string by default) with a custom value.
After reading other posts, I decide to ask you, so, anyone has more informations?I don't want to install third part apps even if I know they exist...
It doesn't turn off with the screen, it turns off after several minutes. Not sure exactly what the time-out period is, but is well in to double figures.
Since WiFi is the least of your battery drains, don't worry about it.
Mmm the setting I use is wifi off when phone in sleep state. Not sure how long it takes for the phone to enter into a sleep state.

all the roms have this problem with me, but i see many people with this issue.....
Have you tried completing full wipes and formating system in cwm then installing your chosen rom. This will be a clean start for your phone, if it persists perhaps it is an hardware issue.

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.

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.

Strange bug in about every custom roms

Hello everyone, this is not utterly important but I was wondering if anyone else have this bug, let me explain :
It's random but happens almost everytime. When i plug or unplug the phone for battery charging, the clock screen pops up (not the one for alarm settings, the other one which is pretty much like the unlock screen). From that precise moment, loud speaker activates automatically for any call I make or receive... rebooting the phone fixes it so it's no big deal... yet i'm curious, can anyone confirm or is it just me ?
Happens with any Cm9 or Cm10 I think, well... in my case at least. Thought it could be related to the broken offline charging thing in Cm9 and later versions but i dunno.

Use a proper stable recovery.. wipe everything except sdcard. Everything. Then try flashing a new rom.
Same thing with Cwm and Amonra. Now using Twr and no changes. Not sure if I repartitioned my sd since the first time I encountered this issue but I don't think it could be related to this. Of course I wipe cache, dalvik and system partition everytime I flash a new rom and I wipe data as well most of the time. Thanks anyway
Never to me. I think the blame is you kernel!

Can be the reason. Remove partitions.. format your complete sdcard in fat32.
Even if you dont have partitions.. do it.

HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.

Since yesterday I am facing this problem.
Last evening the touchscreen of my phone just stopped responding. It happened so: all of the sudden the touch wouldn't respond. Pressing the power button to switch of the screen for sleep mode was not happening. The last thing I had done was pull down the notification bar so that so it was stuck there. I pressed and held the power button to restart and it worked fine. After a few hours again it happened. Restarted again. Worked. But now everytime its happening. It stops responding. I restart then it works for 2-3 minutes and stops responding and again Ihave to restart and again it stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried going into recovery mode and download mode and it enter and it charges properly also.
Also, last night I switched the phone off and I left it on charge annotd today morning when I switched it on the problem is still there.
please help me out
My galaxy s3 is rooted and its running on stock rom 4.1.2 and siryah kernel.
Is it a hardware problem or software? What can be done?
Another thing just happened now. It stopped responding while I was watching a video on youtube. The screen didnt respond but the video was working and after a while the video stopped but the audio was still playing!

Its not 4.2 It's 4.1.2 Using the official one. And I have been using the siyah kernel for over a month now. Never seemed to cause a problem and never updated anything.
And no I didnt take out the battery. I just kept it switched off. Anyway I will do that too now.

Should I flash stock firmwire then try rooting it again and then flash the kernel?
The thing is I used to use my phone while on charge. A friend says the circuits must have gone haywire but this doesn't seems like a hardware problem.

If u use your phone while on charge that only harms the battery (it will make it last less...but it is inevitable anyways who dooesnt use phone whike on charge)...
What would be the very best option would be to factory reset through recovery (u have clockworkmod right?) (U can save apps with titanium backup) and flash a new rom and THEN a new kernel.
If you flash foxhound it comes with kernel already backed.
BUT before doing this (nobody likes to start off fresh) just try flashing another kernel first(or try and get an updated version of siyah kernel, maybe you got the s2 variant, which has a higher build version than the s3, making it look obsolete).

[Q] How to apply fix for SGS3 'sudden death'

I have just posted a couple of hours ago asking why my new Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom would be freezing, and I think the problem is to do with my eMMC chip. I have one that suffers from the 'sudden death' problem.. So I've posted this in a new thread as it's kinda a different question..
Anyway, Samsung have released a fix, but I can't find any instructions ANYWHERE on how to apply it.
I've found this on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs, but that simply links me to a github repo of the code, with no instructions on how to apply the fix.
Could someone direct me to some instructions, or talk me through how to apply the fix?
Thanks,
Luke

It's hard to say exactly when, but it was after having my phone sent off.. I had found that a way to fix it was to reduce the amount of free space on my internal sd card, so I got a dummy file generator app, that nearly filled the sd card, which seemed to stop the problem.. However I am not able to do that now, because the phone freezes before I'm able to search the play store..
I would ring optus (my phone carrier), however now that I've flashed a custom rom, my warranty is void, so they're not going to do anything to help me..

Ok cool, I will have a look at that..
I managed to get into the play store and download the eMMC Brickbug Check app, and it's telling me that it's still a problem, so Cyanogenmod 10.2 doesn't have the fix incorporated into it..
I would still like to find how to apply this kernel patch, as I reckon it will definitely help..
CM 10.2 does indeed have the fix incorporated, the checker only checks if you have the chip that's affected and nothing more. It will not tell you if you have a fix applied
