Hey guys,
I have been searching the threads, but was not able to find a similar problem.. I am having problems calibrating the battery of my Samsung I9300. My battery is completely empty within 3h from taking the phone from charging. I have calibrated the battery according to Battery calibration instructions, but that doesn't help. No apps are particularly draining or keeping the phone awake according to analysis (by for instance Battery Doctor, BetterBatteryStats WakeLockDetector), also since the same problem already existed with the stock rom and directly after factory reset. The problem is not ROM related, I have tried many different ones. When I place my battery (which then says 30% left for instance) in another I9300, here it gives still 88%. So I suppose the battery is fine, there is just bad communication between the phone and battery? Or maybe it can be a hardware instead of software problem?
Hope somebody has an idea and can help..
Thanks in advance!
You don't calibrate the battery .
The battery self calibrates after a week or so of use .
Suggest format in recovery sdcard system data and cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
Still a problem its hardware .

So if I understand correctly, the calibration will not finish until one week after starting the procedure?
I will try your suggestion, but I am not very confident it will work, since the problem persisted from the start (when phone was still in stock ROM).
If this does not work, what could be the hardware problem? Then I can already search for some information on ordering the necessary parts..
Thanks!

Hi to everyone. I will describe here which are my problems with my SGS2.
My battery life is very lower, I think the battery is broken.
I've tried 3 different ROM to improve it but there isn't a difference. My battery is burned in about 10 hours. I don't hard use the phone in these hours, only about 10-15 minute of talking.
On all ROM's which I've tried the effect is the same. I've tried Lite'ning v1.5 too.
Another major issue of my phone is it doesn't stand in power off mode. If I try to turn off the phone, it will automatically turn on. Something happened with my phone, I've bought this one month ago, at the first, this issue wasn't.
So, I've decided to go with my SGS2 to quaranty.
Can you guide me how to make a full restore of SGS2 and put the default ROM on it? Some people told me that I've lost the quaranty if I install a rooted ROM like lite'ning. Is there any method to erase all my installed ROM's history?
P.S: I've wondering in Battery Status application from market a status of my battery: extra voltage when I take it from charging. I really think that this battery is broken.
Thanks you.
nobody can help me?
Search button would have helped .
Flash stock rom .

Thanks but I need more details. If I flash stock rom they won't see the difference? They will know that I put another rooted rom?

Flash stock rom and reset counter with USB jig. Search for such keyword if you dont know what that is.
I have tried searching this problem but found no solutions. I have a non rooted phone and no warranty so can get any thing replaced unless I know the specific fault.
I got a message from Samsung wireless kies to update to ics 4.0 so did so. Their phone installed the software perfectly with no faults that I could see. However I the battery drain was off the scale. I switched the phone off and charged it. After a full charge I left the phone switched off and the charger out the phone. The battery is contentiously draining and after a few hours i will be dead. So the phone is completely off but draining battery (I have switched it off properly).
Now also I get Sleep Of Death on my phone and the phone is so hot its ridiculous. Someone please help me as its my pride and joy and I have done a security wipe and still not helped.

What firmware version do you have?
Check in settings menu => phone info => version, and dial *#1234* into your phone.
PDA = ROM (and kernel) version is most important.
Maybe you have to flash another ICS ROM version.
Here you can find official firmware versions (non-wipe) => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
You wrote that you have already done a "security wipe".
What do you exactly meant be that?
Have you done a factory reset (wipe data) in recovery mode?
I would recommend to wipe cache partition in recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power button until recovery menu appears).
If the battery drain is still remaining, install Better Battery Stats app (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) to find apps, which prevent your phone from going into deep sleep.
Here is a good thread with some nice battery saving tips => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16973603
Good luck !
1: Factory reset using the code
2: flash different modem using Odin.
3: flash some other stock ics using Odin
4: flash your GB again using Odin and let it update again and hope it won't happen again.

Same problem to me, a factory reset (which means wiping all your data and settings) will gives you better battery life.
In regards to the questions I have
PDA:19100XWLP7
PHONE:19100xxlps
the firmware was is on 4.0.3
build number IM74k.XWLP7
I will try to flash the phone using the sammobile website. However Iam having issues with odin as it wont come up with id com just static will fix that first then give it a crack.
P.s I have done a factory reset and still no luck.
I was running Lite'ning Rom (v2.7 I think) until a few days ago until I flashed to the new version of resurrection (v.2.5.3), my phone worked for the last few days but now it seems that the battery is no longer charging either from AC or from USB. The battery is now at 0% and won't enter download mode and isn't recognised by Odin/Kies/etc...what can I do? Looking for any helpful advice at all. I think the phone itself is working fine apart from the charging issue! Thanks for any advice and apologies if this is a stupid question!
Edit: When switching roms, I followed the proper extended instructions (wipe data, cache, dalvik, etc.)

Well it seems to me that it has nothing to do with the rom. I looks like to me that your phone just broke, so i would go to best buy or some other company that fixs phones and have them look at it.

OK, I've managed to get it to turn on by leaving it connected to USB for a long period, it gets to the home screen (which is absent of icons) and then loads the android system page (which is absent of everything but the title). Then it goes off before I can do anything. Still haven't managed to get it into recovery/download mode though, it says that the battery is too low for download.

Ok, to update- I have reflashed resurrection rom via CWM and it is no different in terms of the problem. I have however worked out that it charges while in recovery mode which to me suggests all may not be lost...seems more like a software problem of some sort, no? I am downloading the stock 4.0.3 firmware and will flash via Odin, I'll see if that helps!

If you have CWM try NeatROMLite
this is similar to the stock.

(For stock, non rooted)
1) Backup all your data, photos etc.
2) Under settings , look for factory reset. (This will wipe all data)
3) Setup your phone etc but dont drain the battery flat.
3) Charge phone overnight ( With phone turned off )
(Rooted)
1) Go to CWM
2) Factory reset , wipe cache partition , wipe davilk cache
3) Turn on phone, let phone settle for at least 5mins
4) Setup your phone etc but dont drain the battery flat.
5) Charge phone overnight ( With phone turned off )
If all else fails... reflash another rom
Your situation is very similar to my friend's S3. Her method was painfully charge it to 100% before she unplug the phone. After that it was working fine. It's probably due to the battery stats. I think her phone's battery stats kinda screwed up after the JB update. Anyway she managed to solve it.
The battery stats will reset once charged to 90% (if I remembered correctly.) Maybe before doing all of above, you can try to charge your phone to 100% and see if there are any problems after. There'll probably be people who will tell you to wipe battery stats on CWM but pls dont listen to their [email protected]#$.
Just try what i suggested and see if it helps.
Cheers

I had a recent soft bricked due to some "unknown" problems which I couldn't figure out.
Anyways,I was able to boot into download mode and successfully flashed the stock jellybean firmware via Odin.
Now the problem is that my battery is empty and the phone is stuck on an what I think is an "Empty Battery Bootloop" was the battery icon blinking every 5 seconds or so.
Any ideas how to revive it ?
PS : I am unable to boot into recovery as well.
I have attached a screenshot of the issue I am facing.
Ur screenshot says... 404 error
Re-linked.
Maybe something went wrong while you were flashing the ROM via odin. First of all did you tick Only the right options while flashing in odin?
Supposing you did,
1. Maybe the ROM file which holds information for your battery might be facing curroption.
2. Maybe the kernel (the default one coming with the stock ROM) was not flashed properly.
In either case, I would suggest trying to boot into download mode and try to flash the whole thing all over again. If the problem persists, flash a different kernel/ROM or both.
II'm pretty sure that should fix the problem though.

Tried flashing via Odin for like three consecutive days.Still no luck.
I have googled it and found out that some users were facing the same problem when their battery was completely empty and the phone wont start because it didnt had enough juice to boot up.You know how to solve that problem?

Just keep it on charging wid 0.7mA or a 1mA charger for few hrs... if still it doesnt work..use a usb cord to charge via lappy...
Also use someone else's battery to boot up... and make a wipe data via stock recovery
Charged with USB for about 4-5 Hours.I cant get hold of a 1mA charger here.Using another battery is nearly impossible for me since none of my friends seem to have a S2.
Any other phone which has a battery identical to ours? (Or a Samsung phone with 4 pins possibly.)

Nope. Don't try a battery not designed for the device. Asking for trouble.
Time to change it with a new battery or hook up with an external charger?
PS : Took it to a local mobile repair shop and asked for a universal battery charger.
When I gave him the battery,the first thing he asked was if the phone ever got wet.
He said there's some I don't know what on the battery due to licking it.
I recently replaced the charging circuit from a trusted Samsung shop and he says it's totally fine.
Seems like some kind of corrosion on the battery.Any ideas on how to remove it ?
Anyone ?
