I started noticing recently that as my battery got low (like to 50%) my screen would start glitching and just selecting random things over time its just gotten worse (now it does it at 60%). I tried unrooting it and rerooting via sdcard, deleting apps that i installed around the time it started but its still doing the same thing.I wanted to inquire if anyone had the same problem before i look into switching it out.
This sounds like behavior that occurs when the nook gets to about 15%. Have you noticed it dying quickly after it freaks out? Try resetting battery stats.

yes it does die after it freaks out and turns off, how would I go about resetting the battery stats. Thanks!

You'll need to boot into CWM for that.
thanx, I don't have much experience with cmw so any instructional help would be appreciated. I did find an app called battery calibration, has anyone used that?

I was using my phone this morning and it froze so I took the battery out and tried to reboot it. It is now stuck at the screen you get when your phone is off and it is charging...ya know the green battery with the dots under it. It will not budge from this screen at all! I have done everything I can think of and nothing will work...Anyone got an idea how to fix this.
Did you try to take the Battery out for a few Minutes? You could then press the Power Button for a few second swhen the battery is out. Do you have a CWM on your phone? Tried to "boot in it"?
Power button + Home Button + Sound - (or was is it Sound +?) button when its off. There you could wipe cache first, or do a full wipe if its necessary...
Ive tried to boot into clockworkmod. It wont take. I booted into download mood and tried a restart from there and nothing. I will leave the battery out for a min and see what happens.
Solved this your Problem?
What have you done when your phone was freezing? If you just were watching videos it should be fine, but if you was installing something or even take changes on the system

I was trying to take a video when it happened. could it be the rom. btw i took it to att and the lady plugged it into her charger and bingo. I am going to flash back to stock. I have been having sdome bugs lately. my phone will randomly make that noise that it makes when you plug it in. and than it has been freezing as well. Could it be the rom? is the buggy issues the battery? I mean it seems like no rom i flash is stable for me and there is severe battery drain too. Any ideas?

if you're having consistent trouble with each rom you try, its either your phone or some sort of user error on your part.
flash it to stock and see if the errors persist. if they do, then it would seem your phone is faulty. if they do not, maybe stick with stock for a while and do some more reading before continuing with flashing custom roms.
I flashed back to unnamed instead of stock and things seem good just a battery drain issue I have juice defender running and still lose battery like its my job. Could I need a new battery?

Have you tried to calibrate your battery?

Hi guys,
I have recently joined xda, have been following it as a guest for quite sometime but never bothered to register but did it finally.
Now to my problem. My Galaxy S II has been facing weird problems lately, first off my phone randomly blinks like its trying to stay on but can't and immediately closes. After I open it the battery has been massively drained for example if I was on 60% battery it goes down to 3%. If I keep it closed for some time and then open it the battery increases without even charging.
The random shutdowns happens if I'm playing a game, it gets hot and closes itself but sometimes it also closes on low usage. I tried every possible way of fixing it but to no avail. I tried switching Roms, flashed stock ICS firmware, tried different root methods, wiped battery stats and calibrated the battery, tried different kernels and all but the problem still persists. I had no problem like this one on my old Galaxy S II.
Do you guys know of any solution to this god forsaken problem? I would appreciate quick answers.

If the shut downs are because of your battery, try flashing siyah kernel, then download ExTweaks from the play store and use the 'reset fuel gauge' option, and just leave your phone for a few hours and let it settle down. Hope this helps

Tried resetting fuel gauge and it didn't work. After resetting I use my phone normally, do I have to leave it alone without using it?

Yeah it needs to settle down, so try resetting the gauge, then leave your phone plugged in over night. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else you could do, sorry.
I get the exact same thing with my sgs2.
Don't know what to do. It seems to happen when I'm on facebook.
All I can do is recharge the phone again.

This issue is just freaking annoying and its not just with f.b for me. Anyone knows a fix??
Sent from a rebellious Galaxy S II
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
Paulius
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
Paulius
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.
When phone is plugged in to power any notification wakes the screen and it stays on unless I manually turn it off. Phone is a couple weeks old, still stock, with a few games, AquaMail, Aldiko, Skype and recently uninstalled GSam battery monitor. Thought GSam might be the culprit but unistalling had no effect. Did some searching to see if anyone else had this problem and found some old stuff but nothing recent- nothing with the current OS. Anyone have a fix for this?
do you have stay awake while charging on under development options?

Just checked- nope. Thanks though.
Running Casual root inadvertently fixed the problem.
Hello all. So here is my situation.
Motorola Milestone X2
Last night I successfully rooted the phone and installed CMOD 10 using these directions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101633
Everything went fine. Charged the phone overnight, went for a jog this morning running both Pandora and c25k app. Absolutely no issues.
So I get to work and the phone just shuts off. Will not power back on or into fastboot. When plugged into USB, green light comes on.
After several minutes it will randomly power back on. Then after using it for a few minutes, it will just shut off again. Powering on and shutting down seems to happen randomly.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Quick update. It is draining the battery. The next time it booted up I watched carefully, and the red light in the corner was flashing and it said 5% battery, even though it had a full charge just a couple of hours ago. Something must be draining it badly if it will not even run very long while plugged in. Again, any fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a reason to think that flashing to CMOD 10 actually broke the hardware? I have never had battery issues before. SBFing back I am sure would resolve the issue but then what?
And I am not talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 10" I am talking "I used to get 12 hours, now I get 12 minutes."
Even when plugged in, if I use it very much, it will die. Surely this is an issue of the phone incorrectly reporting the battery levels. I ran the battery calibration app (not at 100% charge since I cannot seem to get it that high) and it seemed to have no effect.
When I try to have the OS boot into recovery to try clearing the battery data, I just get an icon that look like the little android guy standing in front of a caution sign.

cyanogen 10 has issues on our phone. plain and simple. also check the battery stats and see whats running. i had an issue once with facebook running 99% of the time consuming way too many resources. id sbf and try again from stock. if theres still issues try running cm9 it runs nicely and its my daily driver.

cm9 is a bit better in quite a few aspects. i would try it over cm10. for battery life alone. i have stayed on it the longest now, surpassing eclipse, which used to be my favorite. :good:

battery life on cm10 is absolutely horrible. it will never be anything close to stock, and you will be lucky if you can get it to last you a whole day. even when working properly.

Not necessarily, I've gone two days with 3g radio on but with minimal use on cm10 it really just depends on the hardware variations. Just like how two phones of the same model over clock differently because of minor flaws and variations durring manufacturing.

So I was finally able to get it to charge to 100% and then used the battery calibration app.
I could not tell immediately if that did anything, but it seems to be holding its charge today. Guess we will see how it does over the next couple of days.
Thanks!
