If you had this problem before and after flashing, it will be hardware problem then i think.

Try this:
Install stock firmware, firmware reset, press power button and volume up button (it will vibrate once, you keep pressing and then it will vibrate 3 times and reboot). When it reboots, install Battery Calibration from market, fully charge it and when it says 100% open the application and calibrate it. Then stop charging the phone, let it run without charging it at all, until battery goes dead on its own. Don't charge it for any second at all. Then you can start seeing if its the battery or something else.
Also, please don't install any apps you have for the testing to see if it's some faulty application eating all your battery, or use better battery stats to check for wakelocks but i suggest you do that AFTER you see if it's a battery fault or not.
Switch to 2G mode also, don't use 3G for the testing.
What's your brightness level set to?
What kind of use do you do every day?
I did these things after my battery getting dead in less than 15 hours after 2-3 flashed roms and well it just died now after 1 day and 20-21 hours.
Used it for 2-3 hours in total calls, some wifi use of installing apps, email and small stuff like that, that i often do.
It was always on 2G while i was doing all that, data enabled always even on screen off and syncing on as well.
Normally i switch to 3G when i "need" it or leave it all day long when i know i will charge it when i go to sleep, and use it more than that. It can last alright for a day even then, with heavy use which i think is alright with the ****ty battery technology we still use nowadays.
I don't know if it's battery or software related but if you follow my instructions you can check both.
Personally i believe it's some app causing that havoc.
main problem

Since I've installed Wolf's CM 6.1.3 rom I'm having a bad time with my X10. It keeps crashing randomsly, and then I need to remove the battery, wait a few minutes (like 5 minutes), then reinsert it and try to turn the cel on again, otherwise it does not work (it just vibrates sometimes, other times it starts to load, stops at "Sony Ericsson" then turn off again).
The problem is worse by now, as it still happens even if I go back to stock ROM (2.1). I've noticed that the battery gets very hot during these issues, and I need to remove it and wait it to cool down before the phone be able to power up again. It keeps crashing or freezing during daily usage.
Does anyone have any advice about this issue? Gauge Battery Widget shows that the voltage is 3.768V, and the temperature is always around 33 degrees (Celsius). Today I had to put the battery in the refrigerator in order to cool it down, as the phone wasn't working for, like, one hour.
Sorry for the bad English. still learning!
Thanks!
Try repairing it via Sony Ericsson Update Service. If that doesn't work attempt flashing a basebrand and firmware you know is stable with your phone. If that doesn't work it sounds like another internal problem you may need to bring in to get fixed.
Last night, I charged my phone through PC and after 57% charge I take it off.
Phone was working fine before I went to sleep. When i woke up i found that my phone is turned off. I try to turn it ON, but it did not give me any response.I thought my battery was completely drained, So, I try to charge it through the SE charger and through PC but nothing worked.
At present, Phone is completely off with no light indication. I tried to charge it many time with and without SIM card and sd card, but it remains in this condition I also tried different methods which are mentioned in some other forums.
Please help me. Did anyone experienced this kind of phone behavior?
I have a similar problem, I`m running on Mini CM6 from quite a time now and I had minor problems which are solved by “wipe data/factory reset”. But that one is bigger. I came back from work and put my phone on the charger, it was at least 24h on it and it stayed on 98-99% did not go to 100%, I remove it from the charger and set an alarm for the next day when the alarm ringed after 5 hours I saw that the phone had 15% of battery. In “About phone>Battery use” there was a “Cell search” (if I`m right) that I saw drained my whole battery. I go to work and put it in the charger again when I came back after 5-6 hours it was again on 98-99% I removed it and set an alarm (again) but for sooner not for next morning) before that alarm ringed the phone had 30% batter after I stop it the battery began to go down 2% at 1 second and it turn off. And guess what I did? Put the charger again for the whole night, the next morning after I woke up I decided to remove it from the charger and turn it off because I knew that it will search for signal again and I have to charge it. And that was the last time I saw it alive since then I don`t have anything from it I tried to charge it ->nothing ; SE PC suite -> nothing its totally dead. Its still in warrant but I`m afraid that they won`t repair it because I use a custom ROM. If anyone have any idea I`m listening.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for my bad English.
Try this:
Press the power button + middle button (home) at the same time.
Slight chance it will help, but you'll never know!
;;@above: right, they won't repair when you've got it modded.
They probablywon't know, you could give it a try.

how to do that when i can`t get anything from it. its like i have removed the battery it doesn`t give any sign of life ( not a light,vibrate etc.)
Aaa ok bro total ****ed well ? Try seus if this wont work your batery could be broke try some one else batery. If not defo broke. ! !!!!!just send it back to se if seus cant get it running they cant find out its rooted
After lots of frustration, I found a solution to charge dead battery by charging it with little High voltage(9v) to get back it into chargeable state. I followed the same procedure and managed to charge my battery, but during and after full charge(99%) battery got very HOT. I was very happy to saw my phone back working, but my happiness was eventually went away when i saw that battery was draining very fast
Now, Battery is lasting just for few hours (2-3) and whole phone gets very hot.
The worst thing is, If i left my phone for few hours and do not charge it, battery will again full drain and i would be in the same condition from where i started.
I wish i never had bought this crappy phone
So i`ve send the phone to service and they said: After many tries we find out that a connection in the motherboard was f****d and its 4 layer so they can`t repair it. Because of a scratch(which is very hard to notice) they cancel the warranty, and they tried to make it so they can take my money but they are stupid and they couldn`t. Now i`m buying a new phone which is not going to be Sony because they don`t make a thing for their old customers(personal opinion). I want to thank you all for your help and support
I read a lot about and also on the sonyericsson website says that these feeding problems are often related to two components:
- Sd card damaged or damaging some application installed, then you want to format
- Memory, or too full
The problems are:
- The phone turns itself off
- Sometimes turns on by itself
- Turns itself off if not turned on unless a soft reset (home + power button)
- If it turns itself off and starts believing it is discharged in office no signs of life
I honestly thought we could find the solution on this forum but apparently it's pretty annoying also an issue for you, I is the third time I hard reset and I think I'll two things:
- Or install a rom
- If the problem persists delete root permissions bringing the device to the condition of complete originality and I'll settle for some applications, at this point I doubt will happen again, so if the phone will sell and buy another one or send it under warranty
If anyone has found a solution to the problem you say that! many of us get us the hair from the head!
I'm in dire need of some help. My phone is a stock unit that has had no modifications to it at all. It started shutting off randomly a week or two ago, usually when I would use GPS, bluetooth, or the internet but it does happen when everything is turned off (GPS, bluetooth, and wifi) When I turn the phone back on, the battery would be totally drained displaying to a critical level. This would cause the phone to shut back off. I can repeatedly turn the phone back on, and usually one of the times the battery will be displayed with more charge and allow me to use it, but if I did anything other than make a call the phone would shut back off. This problem does not occur if the phone is plugged in and charging (never shuts off randomly and the battery does not drain). I have already tried factory resetting the phone multiple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery is on its last leg. It could also be battery contacts on your phone, make sure they are clean and actually touching the battery when you insert it.

I second this, I had the same issue a couple years ago with my g1, a new battery made it run like new again.

what ROM are you using? are you overclocked? I had similar problem with some roms overclocked, my phone would shut down, restart, battery drain was horrible!! during calls would be the most annoying it would turn off and was walking have a conversation with the plastic by my ear .after some research and testing the problem was my overclocking was unstable at 1.2 + running on 1ghz after a while the problem went away
Your phone will restart or shutdowns randomly..if
1.You overclocked GPU or CPU to high performance.
2.You flashed any unwanted zip files for performance or somewhat.
3.You make the phone very heat[Main Reason].
Instructions:
1.Avoid playing high end games for long time(Like me).
2.Avoid playing high end or medium games above 20mins. while charging.
3.Don't allow your phone to heat.(Due to temperature).
4.Try Re-flashing your current Rom(if you installed custom rom).
5.Try flashing your phone.
6.Check your phone completely for viruses with a better antivirus.
7.If the problem is after installing some apps..Try uninstalling that.
Thats all i Know!
happened to me before more than once I agree that you should get a new battery but if you have to wait in the meantime, what I did was:
1. pull the battery out let the phone cool down
2. I put it back in and turned it on
3. If it turns on okay drain the battery till it shuts off by playing music
3. repeat 1 and 2 and if it turns on okay again repeat step 3
4. if not then let it stay off and charge it to maximum and it should be useable
I did this because I assumed that the phone for some reason wasn't reading the battery levels properly so I made sure that the battery was fully drained then charged it to max to fix that. It worked for me but its just to make the phone useable as I still needed a new battery. It drained very quickly and I had to be charging even 3-4 times a day on heavy use but if I only made phone calls and texts it got me through one day.
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
Karf
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.
My phone is acting weirdly since past few days. I am currently on Feralab GB rom.
Firstly, the phone would automatically restart and battery level would fall by nearly 20% every time.
This leads the battery level to drop down to zero. After that it wont start and wont go into flash mode.
After some time(1-2 days), i tried booting it and it got to the main OS but as battery was 0%, phone automatically turned off.
Afterwards, it behaved normally for few hours. But it again stopped working just now.
What could be the problem ? Any ideas ?
P.S. When the phone turns off by itself, nothing works on it. Not even SEUS.
you could charge the battery with an external charger, or desktop charger something like that, i mean unattached in phone ... make it full
then put it back to phone then install other rom like DonutHD ... the battery performance on it is good, then if you face the same problem it should be a battery problem ... you should change it and buy a new one then

I know it is not a battery problem. Because it wont work with other batteries too when it automatically shuts down.
so ... you couldnt install any other rom because of that problem, tried and failed ??
maybe then its a hardware problem in the phone
