Hi, I got a very annoying problem.
Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.
Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.

I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
Maybe calibrating the battery.

go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery
If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)

thanks so much..............
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.
I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks

Try wiping battery stats then charge to 100% (it may help, not sure)

Yeah tried that but it didnt seem to work :/
could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger
I have the same problem.
My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved )
Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe your solution
I had the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.
Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...
I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...
I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.
So I think that kernel could be the problem.
Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.
*Maybe the solution is*
Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :
- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")
- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)
Note :
- With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery
- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked
So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel
Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
voltage
Hi,
I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.
As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.
I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.
As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.
I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...
peace.
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.
Good to know:
The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.
Symptoms of a failing battery:
* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.
* Device drains fast, even when not used.
* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.
* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.
When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.
Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".
There's nothing wrong with the device.
Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.
But beware:
There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.
There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:
More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.
If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems
Also, [email protected], i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

I've too had the same problem. solved it by replacing battery
Now everything's alright
I'm running dixperia rom with stock kernel
EDIT: but now I have a small problem. Hope someone can solve it. Sometimes, suddenly, the hardware keys light and backlight turns on, without doing any thing and this drains my battery I have to turn on the screen and turn it off back to switch off that backlight and hw keys light

Im getting a new battery soon I hope so I will hopefully get my problem solved
Am using more than 18 months old I9100.
My phone is getting turned off, while using. The last time when phone got off while battery was around 85%. When i try to turn it on it will display boot animation and turning off again. If I turn it on while connecting the charging it will turn on with out issues. It shows 56% of battery still remaining.
I forgot to tell one thing, If am using the phone just to make calls, or watch normal videos it will not turn off. Last time (to test this), I had Wifi, Gmail Sync, Facebook, Media Player and also was downloading temple run 2 from the market while the phone turned off.
Currently am using Wanamlite 14.0 [Philz 4.0], but this issue was there while using Wanamlite 13 and AllianceROM 5.2 [Dorimanx 7.38].
It started while i was using AllianceROM 5.2, earlier i have tried Wanamlite 13 and it was working fine, but when i tried the same ROm later that also have the issue.
Can you please suggest what should i do?
Try different battery.
Try different kernel.
You can make a trip to stockland to see if the issue persists.

tried different Kernels.
So i may need to buy a new battery . Should i go for normal 1650mAh or more powerful 1800mAh? what you think?
I had the same problem and even worse,,, the phone got off after 2 minutes in any app and 15 minutes of call.
one more thing that i noticed is that my battery was a little swolen.
so i bought a new battery (1650 mAh) and everything was great again.
i don't belive that all those 1800 mAh will give you more "juice" then the 1650 mAh OEM.
What about
Genuine Samsung Extended Battery Kit for Galaxy S2 - 2000mAh - EB-K1A2EBEGSTD
Hello everyone,
for a month now my Samsung galaxy S2 has been randomly shutting itself off. It always happens with the same pattern:
The signal suddenly drops to non-exsitent, then nothing reacts and finally everything goes black.I can maximally use my phone for about 5min but it stays alive for the whole day if I don't touch it.
Also when I switch it on again after it shut itself off a lot of battery life is lost, e.g I have full battery -> it shuts itself off -> I only have 50%.
Do you have any ideas about what I could do?
I thought it might have been a problem with ICS and therefore updated to Jelly Bean but the problem persisted...
Thanks for your help!
Sounds like a power problem. Have you tried a new battery? Could be hardware as you have ruled out software.
I had a similar (not exactly the same) problem on a friends s2. It was on full stock, never been 'messed with'.
To fix that, I flashed NeatROM & a new modem. Now it gets a lot better signal, and doesn't freeze up. It may be a long shot but possibly worth a go.
First though, do what Andrew says :good:

I'm currently having very similar issues......I take the phone off charge at 100%, do a little web browsing or make a call / send a text......and then the phone freezes and becomes totally unresponsive....then finally shuts off.
I reboot the phone and the battery percentage shows anything from 2% to 50% remaining. It's NOT the software.....I've changed from stock to cm10 to cm10.1 and reflashed various nandroids without making a difference......
The ONLY thing that stops it happening is to swap out the stock battery for my spare (high capacity 2000mAh) battery....so for me, it's definitely battery related.....
I'm expecting a new one in the post any day now......

Doesn't sound like much fun Keith. Let us know how you go when it comes. It's sounding like a completely different problem to the one I fixed, although it had similar symptoms.

No....not much fun.....but I had this issue with my galaxy W too....so I'm kinda used to it....lol
With the W, I'd get to the stage where the phone would (just about) fully boot.....and then shut down....
Just had a look at the S2s battery and it seems to be swelling which is ANOTHER indication of a borked battery.......

Hope so for your sake! Replacing the battery is a heck of a lot easier than finding a magic fix for a SOD which seems to randomly occur.
A couple weeks back or so there was a guy who's battery connection was sketchy between the battery and contacts, is your connection ok?

Morning Keith. If you swapped out std batt for big boy battery and problem was sorted its gonna be the battery. :thumbup: @ op glad you sorted it
OP here. Swapping the battery did it for me!
(I didn't even notice that my old battery was swollen )
Thanks a lot!

Same problem here, waiting for the new battery to arrive so I can change and test...:fingers-crossed:
Hello All,
My Galaxy S3 device is almost 1.5 years old; Currently I am experiencing this issue for the first time. My android version is 4.2
Phone battery is charged to 80%. While net browsing or during working on an application, the network of my phone suddenly disappears and the phone screen flickers. After this the screen freezes and nothing works. I have to shut down the phone. But if I try to power on the phone, it fails to do.
The welcome screen comes and the phone does not turn on. Later if I try to connect my charger, it shows very low battery (nearly 2 %) remaining. Then I have to charge it all over again to use my phone. It seems that the sudden disappearance of network, screen flicker and screen freeze drains my battery charge.
I have done factory reset; still the problem continues. Also, I have removed all of the applications, right now only pre-installed applications present. Still, the problem seems to be continue.
Any possible workaround is present on this issue ? I have already tried playing with 'Developer Options' but it didn't seems to be work out:crying::crying:.
Thanks,
Regards,
Rohit
is your battery thicker at some points? I think your battery needs to be replaced

The battery looks fine from all points.. any other workaround OR suggestion ?
Replace the battery first, the next step is much more expensive -replace the motherboard.
