Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me...I'm at a total loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
About a month ago my i717 Note started having issues where I'd be using it and suddenly just power off without warning. When I try to reboot it without being connected to wall charger, it very rarely boot back up, usually dies again mid boot.
If it's actively being powered to the wall/USB the issue has never happened...Most of the time after this happens the battery will indicate that it is actually completely drained ie 0% batter life...however sometimes once it's plugged in it will show some other % that isn't even low battery.
This issue occurs even though I could have 90% battery life prior to the crash. My battery stats in settings shows normal discharge, then just a straight veritical line to 0% followed by the normal recharging...
I have 2 batteries, both Samsung OEM so I cannot think both my batteries happened to crap out at same time.
I had been on Black Jelly for many months without any sort of issue, then suddenly this. I have tried these things, to no effect at all:
- delete batterystats.bin in /system/data
- added several layers of tape on the bottom of battery to ensure has full/tight contact with pins
- loaded several different ROMs
- Completely wiped (Factory Reset, Cache, Data, System...and eventually even did Internal and External Memory wipes from TWRP)
- Odined back to Stock 4.1.2 image
The last application I loaded was Google Hangouts and was also the application I first noticed the issue. I video chat with my parents with it and first noticed it happen there which thought was odd since phone never warned me for low battery...however now it happens all the time despite all the steps I took above plus I don't have Hangouts loaded on the phone atm.
I am currently running Stock 4.1.2 and it's still happening there. As is I cannot use my phone for probably more than 5 minutes without this happening. If I can't solve this I'm going to have to go back to my Cappy which just makes me sad since my Note had been a good phone previously.
Since it's happening across ROMs and after total wipe (if there is any more wiping I should do that might help let me know), plus Odin back to Stock I feel as though it must be some sort of crazy hardware issue. I've only ever seen this happen when I'm actively using the device...it hasn't happened when in in sleep mode (ie screen is off).
Any ideas?
TIA
I agree this happening with 2 batteries is hard to believe, but I will ask anyway.
How old are the batteries? They are notorious to go south after about a year.
Are they swollen at all.

Thanks for the reply...
They both 2+ years old now. No bulging they would appear to be in good shape. I've never had excessive battery drain before, and currently when the issue is not happening the battery life is ok. IE if I don't use my phone at all, battery drain is about what I'd expect. I haven't seen the issue happen when it's sleeping, just if I'm actively using the phone.
Sometimes the issue doesn't happen, and it'll discharge all the way down to 0% normally...it's so random and frustrating...I do know that if I use my phone non-stop for probably about 10 minutes it's going to happen though, usually in less than 5 minutes. Again, I don't see the drain, it looks like normal discharge and I'll go from 75% -> phone off in the blink of an eye. Oddly if I then plug it in the battery charging icon you get (when is powered off) sometimes indicates it's actually not empty.
Also of note when it does happen the phone isn't hot, I can handle the battery fine. Also I have the OEM wall charger for the extra battery, so I know that the battery should be getting fully charged from that (so isn't a USB charge issue on the phone itself).
Is there a good battery stats app I can try? The battery stats in sys settings doesn't show anything hogging.
Thanks again.
All those apps are going to do same thing and I don't put a lot faith in them. 2 years is a long time for battery. Mine went south at about a year and went bad in a hurry. Running KK doesn't help either, it's a real battery sucker on our notes.
You are not the first to run into this issue with those symptoms. I believe more often than not, resolved with new battery. I just got one myself from Amazon for $9. Ravpower 2750 I think. There is a thread in accessories.

Fair enough I may try that...
The other thing that happened that maybe points to hardware is that previous to all this happening I got a bunch of errors when Play would try to auto update my apps, saying there wasn't enough space. I was on vacation at the time, so I didn't have any time to try to figure it out. Then this battery thing started happening. Not sure how it could be related, but maybe my RAM is fubar.
I'm getting my Cappy back from a friend so I may try that first, I kinda miss that phone...
Thanks again

Well, another thing that needs to happen every now and again, is going completely back to stock. Re root and everything. Completely clean the pipes. It does wonders.

I'm having an issue with my phone battery level detection.
It won't charge past 97%. I noticed it lately within the last few days, i would charge my phone, but when i would grab my phone for the day and take it off the charger, it instantly dropped down to as low as 95%. But, when i plug in the AC cable, it says 100% charged.
Anyone have any info about this? Also, i powered the phone down and charged it fully with the AC adapter, and the highest level i got was 97%.
Also, i have seen the phone has a lag issue, gps issue, no word about froyo, and no notification led. Most of those were fine for me, but since i've had the phone, most of the battery has been used for cell stand by even though i've been in areas with excellent reception. And now with this battery level discretion, i'm a little worried about my decision. I only have tomorrow to return the phone and now that idea is gaining more and more weight for me.

1.) I would say exchange your battery (I have never heard on that issue)
2.) There is something called a lag fix.. So search next time..
3.) There is also a GPS fix.. So once, again.. search
Defiantly keep the phone.. Download a ROM called Bionix 1.3 With Lagfix& OC/UV (1.4 will be released tomorrow)
Download a program called SetCPU and OV it to 1.2 (It will make the phone much faster)
Tada, you have what you should of had
download and install rom manager.. install clockworkmod, boot into recovery, wipe battery log..
I know there's a lag fix but why should we need that in the first place? I personally haven't needed a lag fix, but I haven't heard anything from Samsung about fixing it.
Also for the gps, flashing patches is still pretty hit or moss for a lot of people and even then, I've seen a lot of people that have their compassion still messed up. My question is not along the lines of "why isn't Samsung doing more to fix this issue across theory US galaxy s line?"
I mean, I've seen probably 3 official updates to "fix" the gps/compass issue, and the only one I haven't heard about the results is the fascinate. And I haven't heard ANYTHING from T-Mobile about fixing ANY is the issues that the vibrant has, on than "they're working on it".
It's word, if it wast for me reading the new engadget post today polling about people's epic and listing the problems it's facing (which most seem to echo across the galaxy s line) coupled with this battery issue, I wouldn't have second guessed my phone decision. But when o saw this, and my battery, it gave me a bad taste similar to what I faced in the slide community.
I love this phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried about Samsung and T-Mobile management calls.

I already have that installed. Would it get rid of my phone rating battery in cell standby or fix the part where I only can charge to 98%?
I'm going to try charging from a computer use to see if it's a charger problem or phone problem.
Edit: I am running JAC's kernel for the past 2 days, I wonder if that has anything to do with the charging discrepancy? Also, I'm not running it overclocked.

If you have such a problem with it then just take it back & quit whining.
All we are trying to do here is make the phone better, Your right you SHOULDNT need a lag fix in the first place.. but apparently YOU do
Like I said about the not charging all the way thing, just take it to your tmobile store & get a new battery.. Not to mention that they actually did say that froyo would be released after G2 witch is going to be sometime next month I beleive
I haven't seen the need for a lag fix myself and sorry is this entire thread sound like a rant/whine-fest. I do love what's been done for the phone in the face of it's adversity. And for the most part, I am pretty optimistic about Samsung/T-Mobile fixing the issues this has. I more just writing it all down at once to get it out if my system.

i see that. i also see that tmobile twittered about an OTA soon and not to flash the JI5. that's really more than i've seen from them about the phone lately, albeit still extremely ambiguous.
Also, i just unplugged my phone from USB computer charging. It charged to 100% but when i unplugged my phone it went back down to 97%. So it's not charger related. I'll be going into tmobile tomorrow and seeing if i can say whether it's the battery or the phone by testing out a different vibrant and charging my battery in there.
Also, i am getting kinda pissed that my phone "appears" to get extremely poor reception. It goes from strong signal to nothing, but still saying tmobile in the same place.

I'm talking about JI6 not JI5...
My vibrant has done the same thing once. I thought it was weird. Hasn't done it since though. I really don't care about one or two ticks on the battery guage. I use battery indicator pro though because the built in battery meter sucks.
i use a flashed version of the battery status reader as well as battery indicator. And it doesn't go up to 100% unless i'm using the charger. but once it's off the charger, it drops to 97%.

im having the exact issue, ive already gone thru clockwork and wiped the batt stats n still the same problem, it says 100% charged, take it off the charger and drops down to 97%.... i was tempted to swap a battery for a dude i was unlocking his phone for (he didnt know it was uber easy lol, so i made $10 for my hard efforts) but i didnt... im calling tmobile so they can send me another one as i type..

I went to my local tmobile store, they swapped batteries. They also told me they couldn't do anything since i was out of the 14 day exchange period. The thing is though, i bought the phone outright, and when you do that you have a 30 day return period.
But they also didn't have any vibrants in stock so i had to go to the nearest corporate store. I got there, and they were puzzled as to why i was having an issue, saying that "it lasts for the stated amount of time, so i'll most likely have to charge you a $10 restocking fee" crap. They ended up doing a 1 time courtesy exchange. I'll see how this vibrant goes. I also checked to make sure it wasn't hardware locked (it go into recovery with the volume keys).
I don't think it's a battery issue, as I've seen it quite often. Mine does this sometimes as well but it doesn't really bother me. Someone posted that there was a fix you could do using ADB from the computer, but it was a month or so ago and I'm too lazy to look for it.

well after swapping my battery for a new one and experiencing the same issue, i know it's not battery related. it's phone related. I want my phone to charge fully, not almost fully.
So I know there are several threads on this, some by me, but this time the issue is very weird.
So i'm on my third phone now, previous 2 had the USB port going wacky. Phone thinking it was charging when it wasn't plugged in, computer not recognizing phone anymore etc.
So problem has now started again on phone number three. Weird thing is this time the phone seems to not have this problem all day. Problem starts at night, so i'm assuming maybe a battery percentage left triggers it. The other weird aspect of this is that right before the phone starts bugging out, (charging, uncharging, and back, over and over while not plugged in), the car mode symbol appears in the status bar, and starts flashing on and off. If I am fast enough to catch it,I can deactivate car mode. When all this starts happening, phone also starts to get stuck and freezes up. This issue is really getting annoying. Love this phone but this is starting to make me crazy. Yes I got the phones at different stores. What do I uninstall to just get rid of car mode, considering I never use it?

Seems to be whatever USB cable you are using or the way you carry this phone is the problem. No way you get 3 phones the same exact problem in a row. FYI, Samsung Focus and Captivate had the similar problem in the past. Car mode is just the result of your USB port problem instead of the cause of it. What happens is something shorted out or bridged the pins of the USB port to make the phone think it is conneted to a car dock (IIRC, car dock uses a 300k resistor to bridge two pins). Some ppl with Focus or Captivate reported success by blowing out the dirt in the USB port.
As well as cleaning the USB port with an alcohol swab

The only USB cable I've used with all of them is the one they come with. I've used the alcohol cleaning method as well as blowing in the port, hopefully getting out any thing causing issue. This seems to help temporarily. The strangest part of all this to me is with this latest phone, I have zero problems all day. When I lay down in bed for the night and start using the phone is when it starts to happen. My battery life can range from 60%-30% at that time, so I don't know if that is a connection to this issue. Maybe the phone is possessed. It always seems to take about 2-3 weeks for this problem to arise. I always have the phone in my pocket, so I guess something must be happening with that. Luckily with this latest one, I bought the best buy insurance, it's just after awhile they're gonna start wondering why this keeps happening to me, and if it's my fault. The USB port problems can sometimes make it difficult/impossible to flash back to stock.

Useless responses are no better than useless threads imo.
To the OP. The likelihood of that many bad phones in a row with the exact same problem is pretty rare. Take a look at anything that's remained consistent through all the phones, and try replacing that item(s).

+1 for replacing the cord and power brick. Alot less quality is put into them compared to the phone. Just make sure not to buy cheap. And never plug your phone into anything cheap (i.e. car radio usb port, off brand charger, ect) That's not saying everything else is bad. But why risk it. Especially when you can buy brand name chargers off ebay for $5 or less.

I've only used the supplied USB cord, every time. Now even when my phone isn't confused if it's charging or not, the battery life is now awful. 5-6% per hour drain. Used to be 1-2%. No changes made by me. Also the phone has become super laggy at times. Feel like i'm using my cappy again. My apologies for starting this post. I knew I would most likely get crap for it, but my issue is very strange, IMO, compared to mine and others previous experiences. I also figured if I added to an old post, it would go unnoticed.

If he is getting 5% per hour drain at idle, yes that is horrible battery life. SGS2 is fairly easily capable of 1% per hour idle drain.

i had this same problem. it wasnt with the port but it was with the usb cables i was using. but those cables would charge the phone fine but not allow it to get a connection with the computer. swapped cables and works fine.

You've used the same cord with all 3? or a new cord with each one?
It sounds like you've got a boatload of issues going on. Personally i'd do a wipe and try a fresh install without installing any additional stuff to be sure the hardware is fine.. Once you've verified that start adding apps to see if it was a specific one causing the issue. (there's other ways to troubleshoot this, but a fresh wipe is the most straight forward and simple IMO)

i suppose.
However he said before it was 1-2 percent an hour. That's pretty much impossible while being used, only get numbers like that while not in use (idle). Even %5 an hour while being used isn't likely to happen. Guess i just figured it had to be in ref to idle drain.
lol guess we just wait to see

It is useless because no matter how many times people are told to use search function they never do.

Yesterday i flashed the aokp build 32 on my i777 and did a full wipe, i also cleaned cache and dalvik. While my apps were syncing from the play store i plugged in the charger and fell asleep, the next morning when i woke up i found out that my device was switched off and it overheated, like it was literally boiling!!! I quickly unplugged it and pulled out the battery, then i put the battery back in and restarted it. Is it cause of the ROM or anything else? It did boot up and is working okay. but i know this is might sound stupid but did the overheating cause any damage to my device? Like any slight internal damage?

Not the roms fault.
As far as damage, no way to tell for sure. If it works it works. The phone has the protection system, that's why it cut off so I'm sure you're probably ok.

If your phone was boiling then you must have left it under blankets or some crap as stated can't be the roms fault and charging it and syncing apps is not gonna make your phone boil.
Mine has done that from time to time. Nothing specific has set it off. It's always been out in the open so no enclosed spaces to blame it on. A reboot has always fixed it.
Sometimes we gotta make sure to plug the phone to right charger when we go to bed!
I had this happen once, for a different reason. I fell asleep with it plugged in and a game running, and sometime in the night it got pushed under my pillow. When I woke up several hours later, the phone was too hot to hold in my hand. I managed to get the battery out, and I let the phone cool off. I put the battery back in and found that the heat had completely drained the battery, so I had to let it charge for a bit before turning it on. When it finally booted up, it was fine. No stability issues, no negative impact on battery life.
I'd say you're probably fine, but the problem you're most likely to have is decreased battery performance. You may have to get a new battery if it's too bad.
well i had never put it under my pillow, it was on my table when i woke up, and yes i am using the right charger and when i booted it up it did have full battery and i used it the entire day, the battery life was still quite the same as it was before. im just trying to find out the reason for overheating

likely something got stuck running in the background that was keeping the CPU at max speed.
I was running checkrom and similar happened. It turns out something made Facebook not stop when I exited it and throughout the day it would get so hot I could feel it through my case.
After that issue I flashed aokp and uv'ed 50 and phone is nice and cool.

I haven't had any problems.
Working great for me! Only issue I have had with this Tom is that Facebook messenger apparently will not run in the background so I don't get notifications when people message me until I open the app.
Finishing a flash while charging then immediately resyncing your play store account gets the device very hot.
No problems here.

No overheating issue here.
Messenger started working fine after reboot. All good now.
I had the same issue...
I had a very similar issue. I am on Build 32 (upgraded earlier in the week from 2 or 3 versions ago). I was working and had my phone in a holster, got a call on both my cell phone and office phone, answered it on my office phone. About an hour later I was doing something, so I pulled my phone out of it's holster and it was sitting on the incoming call screen (from my previous call). It was completely locked up and pretty hot.
I pulled the battery and powered off. When I did finally get it back up, the battery was reading 5%. So what ever was happening, it was using a lot of power and probably would have stopped in about 10 minutes when the battery was completely dead.
This is not a positioning issue, or anything else like that. I have had this phone in the same holster since I got it. And the fact that it was stuck on an incoming call screen from an hour previous means that something was wrong.
I am planning on updating to the new build soon, but I just wanted to mention that this did happen to someone else and it was not "got too hot under a blanket" or something like that.
I doubt that I can provide any useful information to actually help track down the issue. I do not have better battery stats or anything like that installed. And the ICS battery screen just shows a complete drop from 60% to almost 0.
Thanks.
no heat
I'm on build 32 for a few days now and I've not had any heat issues. I do use ES Task killer before I park.
First post...
Exactly, youre absolutely correct.

I have tried using AOKP builds right from the first one. Every one of them had this exact issue happened to me. The phone will simply overheat and the battery will be completely drained in a matter of few hours. I always do full wipe before trying this ROM. Never had this issue with other ROMs. I love the interface and features offered by AOKP builds, however, frustrated with what it has done to my phone...
My wife's Rezound (.605, ClearnROM 4.5) has been stable for weeks and weeks. Then, in the last 72 hours or so, it suddenly started ripping through its battery in minutes -- fully charged to dead in 90-180 minutes, even if the phone is just sitting on a desk, untouched, screen off. There doesn't appear to be anything running in the background to account for the drain (no Facebook or anything like that).
Any ideas? Really don't want to have to return it to stock, exchange it with VZW as defective, go through setting up a new one.
Thanks in advance...
a silly question but have you tried to over clock or under volt it recently?

best thing to do is go into settings and see what has been using the phone. Go into apps, too and see what has been running.. Finally, an app like better battery stats can really help you see what is killing it.
Often in cases like yours, its a recently updated app that is keeping the phone awake for some reason.

No to overclocking or undervolting. Haven't really had the need to do either since moving off our Droid Xs some months ago. But that was a good thought.
The screen appears to be what's killing the phone. For some reason, it keeps setting itself for Sleep/Never, meaning the screen is on all the time. The last time spent changing that setting seems to be working. Not sure why it keeps toggling back to that setting. May have to reset the phone, reload a ROM and see if a fresh start makes a difference...
My friend and I both had AT&T Note i717's (about the same age), and I recently bought a Note 3. She is happy to stick to the original note, at least for a while (she is eyeing a carrier move once the 2 years are up).
Recently, her phone started behaving very badly (dying without warning, battery numbers seemed random, apps wouldn't update, etc). So, she's got my old phone now - we xferred her contacts, swapped sim cards, and I left with her old, badly behaved phone and some starbucks gift cards.
I've reset the phone to factory, and updated to latest official firmware. To a cursory inspection, the phone appears to work, but I'd like some sort of burn-in or diagnostic tool that I can run on it that will give me some assurances that the issue was purely software (if it was) or whether there was an underlying hardware issue that contributed to it.
Does anyone have any recommendations about what I could do to verify that this phone is okay?
Maybe a benchmark app will let you know some of the things your wondering. Check out this one.

Cool, will run that.
Is there anything I could use to cycle the battery a few times, as one of the issues she had with it was the battery behaving erratically?

If the battery is about a year old, probably time for a new one. Need to order one myself.

The battery is less than a year old.
My friend had been swapping between batteries (because her phone kept dying - crazy stuff, like going from 60% to 20% and then back to 40% without charging, taking a "dead" battery out and reinserting it and getting 40% and hours of use from it, and frequently leaving her with neither battery working), and reported that she saw this sort of erratic battery behavior with any battery she put in, and the one I wound up with was the replacement battery she had bought a while ago (when the USB charging port was broken - she was powering her phone by swapping batteries while waiting for the part in the mail).
Basically, I want to see if we can reproduce the battery insanity now, with one of the batteries that is known to cause it.
If it cannot be reproduced now, that would imply that the whole thing might just have been part of the software issues.
If it can still be reproduced, that indicates either a hardware or battery issue - and this could be isolated by swapping in a fresh battery.
