ok so i have a lg l9 and its battery percentage is always at 100% i have tried calibrating it and buying a new battery for it. it also randomly shuts off and i cant turn it on unless its plugged into a charger. i dont even know where to start to figure out what is wrong with this thing so any help would be greatly appreciated. i am kinda of new to this type of stuff so please help me.
It's really difficult to understand what's going on when battery issues occurs, especially the hardware ones...
Check if it still under warrenty, if yes see if they sostitute it with a new one for free. If not, well its time too look for another phone. I advice you the OnePlus one

Not gunna go into much detail here. I'm sure most people have heard o the motherboard bug which causes the sony ericsson to over heat and reboot as soon as it is turned on and things like that. This problem only started for me when I updated to 2.1. Would downgrading to 1.6therefore stop the reboots because I never got even 1 before. Would changin the battery to a diferent one stop overheating o the battery. Maybe there is a battery specialized or this. Maybe a mugen battery would work? Help greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
I dont think so, i had the same problem and tried everything, last thing was getting the new one, and now i can do anything, and no reboot, i think u should go to SonyEricson and tell them about your problem, they will give you back your phone for about 3 times, then when your problem still persist they will give you a new device or they will change motherboard,
Good Luck (and sorry for bad english ^_^)
Out of Warranty Cant be bothered to explain why. Getting it repaired would cost a lot. CoulD I repair it myself?
your best bet it to use advanced task killer app
sent from my X10 using my wicked awesome premium xda app
I do use that app but 90 percent of the time I cant get my phone on long enough to even think about using it
have you tried reflashing the rom, via repair option on SEUS, or even Flashing a custom rom?
sent from my X10 using my wicked awesome premium xda app
yep didnt work
has anyone tried the downgrading or battery change method that can enlighten me as to wheether it will work or not. Or at least significantly reduce the reboots so I can actually use the phone

Yes i think some thing inside the rom could help. One of my friend have X10 with mainboard bug like u. But as i sure in xrecovery it never reboot even you flash a rom sooooo....it should be something inside the room or kernel
sorry i dont really understand what you want me to do :S ????
just downgraded to 1.6. Still rebooting but not as much. Not every minute anymore. It like every few minutes. Im at a loss here there must be something I can do. Warranty and paying to change the motherboard is not an option
I had the same problem, tried everything but my phone only worked when I was using it in cold places, or in front of a fan. The problem started to become worse gradually, it started playing games, then in a few minutes of light use... and then every minute. Had to flash to stock rom in front of a fan to use the warranty.
You cannot do much, unless you use the warranty you'll stand with a dead phone for now.
Isnt there a way I could like open up my phone and do something to it to make it work? There must be something out there that will work.
what if i put the phone and battery in the freezer for a day or a few. maybe it could at least stop the overheating for at leastt a few days? i wouldnt mind doing this every few days

It will work for a few minutes, once your start to use the phone, the battery will start to heat, and then it will reboot once it reach its threeshold.
I highly suggest you to try to repair it in any sony center, or at least check the price to fix it. As far as I know, you can't do anything to at least remedy it. You won't be able to use your phone well. I experienced it and tried everything it came to my mind to at least use the phone well for a few days before I gave up and sent it to the repair center.
Out of warranty and would be like 100 quid to get motherboard replaced. (sorry about caps lock) there must be something that no one has thought of
Of there is of course a problem with asking for solutions that no one has thought of....
Sorry for the cheap shot. I do have sympathy as I have the same issue, although to a much lesser extent. Got a new battery and it made no difference. Went into a phone shop today and had a chat. Although I was not 100% convinced about the guy in there he showed me another X10 that smelled the same as mine and he said it did reboot. Anyway for £15 he says he can reflash the stock ROM using a special box. He seemed convinced it was software related so I may give it a go. It is very strange that I can put the phone into xRecovery when the phone is rebooting and it is stable.
However I think your best bet is to sell your phone and get another. Not sure how much a spares/repairs X10 goes for but I can recommend the ZTE Blade as a good, cheap Android phone with a strong support over a MoDaCo. If you do this you should not be to much out of pocket.
dont really want a different phone. Lilke I said there must be something that someone knows :S
if theres no solution anyone knows, does anyone know where I can buy an xperia 10 PCB so I can dissassemble my phone and change the PCBs myself
Get insurance and lose the phone.
Hi everyone,
When I went to use my phone yesterday i thought it was locked but found I couldn't unlock it.
I tried holding down power, removing battery and charger and I wasn't having any luck.
First question is: should the phone power on with battery removed but charger in? That would help to diagnose a battery/contact issue.
Second question is given its been rooted should I still take it to Samsung for repair? I imagine they won't know its rooted until they fix it or give me a new phone. Will they then charge me? Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be great.
Its the international variant running some close to stock ROM without O/C and didn't have any firmware/ROM changes in the last week or so.
Look here... It seems that you are not alone...

Putting generic/non-descriptive titles, especially silly ones like "Urgent help" do not make people help any more quickly and in fact will slow down help because many people simply ignore topics that are not titled correctly.
Also, This topic has been discussed MANY, MANY, MANY times over so you have no need to create a duplicate topic and then sit there and wait for answers when you can help yourself by looking and reading.
If your phone has simply died and wont turn on then its dead and you will need to replace/repair hardware. In the very least try a new battery.
Have you tried download or recovery mode or a USB jig??
Also it would help if you were honest because diagnosis/fix may be more relevant, have you tried flashing something to your device?
And everyone here should stop whatever else they're doing to 'urgently help' you why exactly ?
I don't see why this is urgent at all.
Hi, i was hoping you to help me. My phone is getting crazy.. I had a custom rom, the cm11 weekly build, and then i started having troubles with random reboots. Suddenly, my phone with 100% battery powers off and stays that way until i noticed that, then i power on and i have 1% battery and it turns it off. I thought it was a OS problem, so i installed the stock rom to see if it would solve, but turns out that when i'm around 60% battery it reboots again and again, and there's a flicker on the screen. I tried to root and flash another rom, i tried to keep it off for a few days, i tried to drain the battery as fast as i could but it doesn't solve it. So i'm thinking if it could be a battery issue, maybe it's kinda dead.. What do i do? do i buy a new battery or maybe it's another issue? Had anyone had a similar problem? Would it be possible that the companies on purpose make the phone to get crazy after a couple years as a strategy to sell more? Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance for your help.

doesn't hurt to try a new battery, they cost around 10 dollars, and no, phone companies don't do that as a strategy to make you buy a new phone. They stop officially updating your phone to make you buy a new one.

Exactly, i was scared because where i'm from (Argentina) the phones are just impossible to buy, way too expensive. And there's no even the newest phones because the government don't let import/export whatever we want, so it's gonna be hard for me to get a new battery...
I would get new battery and test it for a day then flash different ROM , stock for few days then any good rated ROM

Last night I was charging my phone while using the mobile hotspot app and it randomly just cut off and wont boot past the unable to check your software for corruption lock your bootloader screen or it wont show anything and just vibrate the whole time. any suggestions on what the problem might be and any solutions. Desperatly need to keep this phone goin
Welcome to the club. Sorry to tell you this, but it's dead. It has the bootloop of death. Mine had the same thing happen. Sometimes it will boot to that screen and turn off and other times it won't turn on at all. I just got mine back today from LG today. They replaced the motherboard for free. It's something to do with the solder joints.
Mine died today as well.how did you get in touch with lg? Thanks
help - i seem to have the exact same issue
my phone is doing the exact same thing. it suddenly just gets to the "device software cant' be verified..." screen then sometimes it goes to the LG screen and sometimes it just dies from there?
Should i be contacting LG for this ?
Will I loose root if I send it

I realize you asked this over a week ago, and I assume you found your own answer, but in case anyone else finds this by search, yes, you will absolutely lose root. If you can get LG to fix it, they will replace the main board. But, your phone is completely dead unless you can get LG to fix it, so it's dead phone or stock phone, my friend. If you're not familiar with this issue, ask google about LG V10 bootloop. For fun, add the word "freezer" to your search. It's crazy, but it's a known thing with this and similar LG devices... g'luck.
