HI, so recently my SM-T700 was updated to 5.02 and at first it was great. Then I noticed when I put it to sleep, the soft keys lights would sometimes stay on
even when i had it on power saver mode. The only way to turn it back off was to turn off and on power saver mode again. Next I noticed on the bus yesterday that
my bag was really warm and found out that it was coming from my tablet. I opened it and saw that it was 17% but when I first put it in my bag, it was 51%. I know for sure
that I put my tablet to sleep just before packing it in my bag. Also, I have an automatic wake and sleep feature with my case so might that be the problem? Also I am rooted!
Thanks! I hope this get's fixed soon!
Update:
So i recently found out that my dad's Samsung Galaxy S5 is also having the same problem as me after upgrading to lollipop. He puts it down and after like an hour he picks it up and finds that
the phone is hot and a 20% battery drain.

Does anyone else experience their GS2 randomly powering off?
I just got this phone yesterday and it did it twice yesterday while in my pocket and twice today. Just recently I had an incoming call (phone was in vibrate mode) and about 10 seconds after it started vibrating right as I was about to answer the call the phone shut itself down. Completely.
I had to long hold the power button to completely boot the phone back up.
I'm on rooted stock OTA 2.3.6 but it was happening before the update. Anyone else have this problem?

Nope - I suggest taking it to the AT&T store for an exchange.
Check to see if there is some movement of the battery. I read here or another forum when I was searching regarding random shutdowns and thing that seemed to be similar was that the battery did not fit very tight and could move slightly and cause a reboot.
Simple fix is to insert some paper between the battery and the case to keep it tighter in place (opposite end of the battery from the contacts). No reboots for me since I did that earlier this week.

If the battery is that loose, the device is probably defective.
i went to radio shack where i bought it from yesterday and after a bit of a struggle i managed to get them to exchange it for a brand new one.
i also read about the loose battery connection but i felt that if that were the case i do not want to spend the next 2 years or so (i hold onto my tech for as long as possible) dealing with wedging things behind the battery.
i'll update if the new s2 i got has this same problem
two times when i've woken up and checked my phone its been powered off.
I figured it was SetCPU (having the CPU at .2Ghz min/ondemand and 1.6 max)
may have made the phone turn off.

Overclocking/undervolting always carry a risk of the phone crashing or hanging.
I've recently started having this issues. It's not a battery loose issue and I do not OC / UV my CPU. Started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 - 5 times intermittently. Its a "sleep death" issue where the phone goes to sleep and doesn't turn back on until you manually boot it by holding the power button down for about 10 - 15 seconds. For now AT&T is sending me a new battery. This is a possible cause because with investigating this issue, I have been checking my battery stats every day by typing *#0228# and having it do a quick start. The battery percentage will always drop by 5 - 40% after the quick start, but will increase about 3 - 5% within approximately 5 minutes.

It's a known issue that if the fuel gauge is reset when the battery is at a lower state of charge, it'll get thrown off and report lower than usual for a bit until it stabilizes.
I think what happens is if you do a reboot, the fuel gauge is assuming a "relaxed" battery when in reality the battery is at high load due to the boot process. So the fuel gauge thinks it's lower than it really is.
Google Maxim MAX17040 - while we have a 17042 with a few extra features, it's VERY similar in operation to the '40.
Hey, guys!
I've had my I9100 for almost 3 months now. Everything was working fine till last week. I was charging my phone, left it overnight and when I woke up in the morning, unplugged it and it didn't turn on. Thought the phone bricked by itself but when I connected a home-made jig I have it turned on but when it booted the battery was 0%.
Did some research around here and connected it to a 1A charger and left it charging (phone off) for an hour and that fixed the problem. But Two days ago, every time I use my phone and the battery discharges till 60%, the screen flickers a tiny bit and the phone turns off. When I try to turn the phone on, it gets to the booting animation and then it turns off. Sometimes it would boot and the battery indicator would show a charge of 13% or even 1%. It turns on and stays on if I connect it to the charger and let it charge but when I unplug it, it would do the same when it gets the 60%.
The only way I've made it go under 60% charge is if I wipe the batt stats when is charged and when I re-charge it, goes back to the 60% issue. I've been thinking about buying a new battery but I'm not sure if is the phone or the battery and came here to ask.
Will try to borrow a battery from a friend today and see if the problem persists.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: I'm running Jellybam 7.2.0
Goto stock and use it for couple of days.

I swapped batteries with a friend that also has a stock I9100 and my battery did the same to his phone. Guess is time to get a battery replacement.

hi, i am actually facing the same problem as you. i got my i9100 for around 3 months now. 1 month ago i updated to stock jelly bean 4.1.2. it was only until last week when the battery issue surface. i had my phone charged to 100%. switched it off for the night. when i attempt to switch it on again in the day, the phone would not start up and reflects that its battery level is 0%. for subsequent days i have observed the following:
First the phone can never be fully charged. it will reflect that the charge is complete and request to remove the charging cable.
Secondly, i realized that when i removed cable, the notification to remove the cable did not disable.
Lastly, when i restart my phone, the battery level will drop to 70 - 80% range. Currently i am suspecting its a software issue. trying to install a updated stock rom now.
One more issue. whenever i switch off my phone, the giant battery logo will keep appearing in the middle of the black screen. i will not be able to switch on the phone unless i enters its recovery mode and select "reboot now manually". maybe you can verify if you have the same issue with your faulty battery? i am currently trying to troubleshoot the root of my battery problem.
any help is appreciated!

Your battery is probably damaged too, since everything was fine for almost 3 weeks, as you mentioned. If it was a software issue, I guess it would have caused problems since you updated the phone. I'd recommend you to check if your battery is swollen: take the battery off, put it on a flat surface and try to spin it. If it spins a lot, then it is swollen and you need a replacement.
Hope this helps
Hi everyone. I bought ASUS memopad hd7 3 months ago and everything is smooth.
Problems is that since last week, everytime battery goes under 40% the tablet wont boot, showing red battery icon only.
I've searched fóruns for somekind of a fix with no luck at all.
Andy sugestions are apreciated.
Hi there!
I was struggling with battery draining very often. I had tried battery saving softwares and full cycle recharges... Anything was working out. Once I had my battery almost 50% and suddenly the tablet restarted and never started up anymore. The screen started to blink, the Asus logo appeared and restarted, and so on and so on ... Even pressing the wake button for several seconds, it didn't seemed to shut it down. So the battery started to get hotter and hotter and I counld't shut down the tablet, so I figured out a way... Just opened the back cover and unplugged the battery connector and leaved it for 10 minutes.
After this procedure, my battery was reborn and now I have a brand new tablet.
To everyone who wants to open its tablet, remember to remove the SD card first before unsamble the back cover, otherwise you will damage your SD slot.
You must keep Active the Intelligence Saver in Optimize mode
Hi,
Since a few weeks, I've been facing a very annoying problem. I have a samsung Galaxy S3 mini with cyanogen mod 11.0.
When I lock my phone, the screens lights off (as it is supposed to). But about every 30 seconds, it lights on, displaying the lock screen. Then it lights off, and starts the process again. Finally, my battery is being drained. It takes 4 hours to use 50% of my battery.
So I installed Wake lock detector to find the problem, but I cannot find anything relevant, so I cannot really debug by myself.
Could you give me a hand and tell me what I have to look for ?
Thanks.
UP. This issue is really annoying.
Am I in the right section at least ?
Ok, actually the bug is occuring only when the phone is not on AC.
When plugged, it behaves normally. So I wonder, is there a way to make the phone believe that it is on AC ?
Hello all. It's been a long time since I've been to this section of XDA, glad to see it's still got some life left.
I'm trying to get my old i777 working so a friend of mine can borrow it. If I remember correctly, it was running an AOKP rom when I stored it well over a year ago, and it was fine. Today I went to turn it on, nothing. I started charging it, let it go for a few hours. It still won't turn on; instead it's acting a bit strange. Every few seconds the screen flashes either the gray battery charging logo, an instant dim flash of the entire screen (a slight gray, nothing bright), or the home/back/etc buttons flash for an instant. When the charge logo appears, the screen brightens just before it goes off. All buttons are unresponsive, my computer does not recognize it. I've been unsuccessful in finding any real help with Google and searching XDA. The only advice I found was to plug it in without the battery, then put the battery in. This did not help. Any feedback would be appreciated - this little phone has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's been through hell and back, it survived my ex (who managed to break a Nokia 3310 and Nokia 920). If I have to put it to rest, I guess it's earned it, but I'd like to keep it going for just a while longer.
Did you store it away with the battery in the phone? If so, in a year, the battery could be completely drained and in some cases, that can cause a problem with charging, as in will not charge. Possibilities to test, use a fully charged battery by charging the existing battery with an external charger, or by using another battery. This would be the first thing I would try.
I am also having such a problem from time to time, when my battery is complitely drained. I am using such a device to bring the battery back to life. Always helps.
I usually plug mine into a higher powered charger like my s6 one and that gets it out of the loop.
