[Q] Battery hit 55c, is my Samsung GS3 damaged? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I woke up this morning sat up and grabbed my phone off my nightstand like I do every morning and dropped it instantly, it was extremely hot. I turned on the screen and saw that my batter was scolding 55c it's normally 27 - 29c when I check it throughout the day. I am really concerned about the longevity of my battery and phone. Was the battery hot enough to permanently damage any of the components? Is the battery safe to use or is it ruined? There doesn't appear to be any swelling.
This is the battery I have and the case I am using. http://www.ianker.com/product/70SMI9300-B1B72A/859

Wrong forum, check the very first thread.
Sounds like your battery is going to rupture, throw it away now.

Right, like i'm going to throw away a brand new $40 battery. :laugh: Where else would I post this? It's a Q and fits under Help. I also searched Google for at least an hour and couldn't find any good information pertaining to the safe temp range.

Like the man said you are in the wrong forum .
You have I9300 or not see sticky top of the page .
Test battery if it swells then do not use it .

[Q] Battery life

It seems a lot of people were saying the Atrix had very good battery life, but after flashing one rom and kernel then back to stock with stock kernel. It seems my battery life isn't the best, it may just be me or actually the phone.
So, is it just what I did to the phone or the phone?
I'm at 60% with 5 hours and 12minutes of use.

You used a lot of wifi and 3g. It looks like your phone could make a workday from morn til night on a single charge. How much battery did you expect? 3days? You can 5 days if you just leave it in your pocket in airplane mode.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
My Atrix 4G drop 30% after 1 night (2am - 7 am)...
I checked batterymix software, the fingerprint service comsumes about 70% of the TTL energy eventhough i disable the service and set security screen to none.
How can I turn the service off permanently?
I'm using (3.14) CRUST v0.7 with [email protected]#1 kernel....
Srry because I just bought the phone (used) yesterday!
Guys, is there really a need in creating yet another battery life thread?
I have personally wrote a complete thread with all known fixes, as did a number of other forum members.

Your problem isn't unique, please look at what others wrote before starting from scratch.

[Q] is this a battery issue? or...

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.

EP500 battery waterproof?

hi
Somehow the battery of my mini pro found its way into the washing machine and made a complete wash cycle in there
Is it save to put it in my phone to check if its still working or can it damage my phone?
The battery looks fine on the outside and i noticed there is nowhere a image on it that says "dont put in water"

is it maybe waterproof

first thing is make sure your battery have really dry yet
then if you dare, try it to your phone
as far as i know, some electronic things is safe to be washed
but before use it, make sure it really have dry yet (like motherboard computer, its safe if you washed it, of course it have been plugged out from the case then use it when it dry)
sorry for my bad english
Best thing to do is get a new battery.
I for one wouldn't risk putting a 20 euro battery in my 250 euro phone.
Admit defeat and get a new battery, or you might have to suffer the consequences of screwing up a phone. If a single droplet is between the wrapping, it will turn into "steam" when it gets hot, and your phone might suffer damage due to the water that will eventually build up.
After over 3 weeks of drying i just risked it and its working fine. The phone even report the battery as "good"
use rice to dry the phone or battery.

[Q] Vertical Battery Drop-What is the cause & Solution?

(First of all, apologies if this has already been asked and answered. If that is the case could you please forward me to the relevant thread)
I have been getting sudden drops in my battery as shown in the pictures below. Prior to this, my phone seems to have froze/become unresponsive. On forced reboot, I have found these results on the battery monitor.
What is causing the above?
(and) How do I fix this?

maybe a dodgy app - did you download something recently. I would suggest you use better battery stats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 and read all of @chamonix work to understand what is going on.
Other than that, you could try a full rom wipe, are you rooted? You can do factory reset through settings, a bit drastic but better than trounced battery!!

Battery drop when not in use.

Hello , i'm on an investigation why did my phone died last night. Basically i left it on 33% and in the morning the phone was completely dead! Usually it never took more than 15% overnight. I was unable to determinate the problem via BBS because as you may know BBS doesn't really work on 4.4 Kitkat (even if set as system app). The only thing i can show you is the build-in battery monitor graph. See the red section - no screen times , no waking , no GPS , no Wi-Fi but the graph is still going down. I always keep an eye on my battery stats and overal phone health but this is the first time i'm experiencing such issue.

That graph is essentially useless/tells us nothing whatsoever. I'd be replacing the battery (might want to do a clean install of JB stock first to make sure it isn't a KK rom problem).

That graph is basically all i have without BBS.
Yes, I know that. And as I've said, it's useless. What exact information are you expecting anyone else to glean from it that you haven't already done yourself (We're not mystics) ? It's a simple/basic graph, it provides simple/basic information, which won't answer your questions/give you info to enable you to solve your problem.
Stock kernel?Any undervolting?Maybe it freezed and that drained your battery.
