Hi everyone.
I've just installed the last build of Dorimanx/Gsstudios kernel Here, and the first thing which I've noted is that when the phone is turned off and under recharge, the battery animation is missing. The screen is completely dark. This is very annoying, since I cannot see the percentage of charge. Do you know if this is normal or if there is a workaround to put the battery charge animation in its place?
Many thanks in advance...
I've forgot to say that I've installed the Dorimanx's kernel on the latest release of the official CM12.1 nightly.
No answers? Am I the only one who has this problem?
Isn't there a white battery logo when charging when phone is off? If not, this will need to be investigated further. Have you tried reflashing the kernel?
The white logo appear regularly at the beginning of the charge, but when it disappear, there isn't any way to show it again. Pushing any button doesn't have any effect. I've flashed the kernel a couple of times just after the flashing of a Cm12 nightly, but the behavior of the logo is always the same.
However, the kernel is great. The phone works very smoothly and some freezing problems seem resolved after its installation.

Hello,
I have a AT&T galaxy s2 and it worked for past 10 days since i got it. but since yesterday while it was charging it decided to shutoff and flash the charging screen
my problem is similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363155
but I have got the original NFC battery and the problem just started yesterday.
while its got shutoff it displays battery charging (but the indicator is at 0 battery) it flashes like every second and after about 10 to 15 flashes, it become stable and displays the correct amount of battery charged and charging from there. (flash is gone) and now I can turn it on again.
The phone doesnt immediately shut off while plugged in to usb. it just some times shut off immediately and sometimes it stays good for minutes before it shuts off. For the moment I have plugged it on to the computer for like 15 minutes now and its good.
before this happened my battery was down to 0% after heavy use and the problem started while I was charging after that.
Is this somekind of battery related problem? Actually I cant just swap new one from at&t as im living in Sri Lanka and I have got this from ebay.
Please help me
Thanks
BTW I have tried changing roms kernels and all. icsscrewd, shostock, unnamed and siyah,entropy nothing fixed the problem
Follow this thread. It is known problem between few users (including me). Try to stay totally stock (this means don't install apps, stock rom, stock kernel). If your phone still turn offs on stock, well most likely it is defective. I haven't yet expected turns off after I flashed Entropy's 2/8/12 kernel and uninstalled some apps including Widgetlocker, SetCpu, Mobile Odin and few others that I cannot remember. If you have them, uninstall.

omg if I cant install any apps it becomes unusable ne?
Well I didnt tried the stock rom yet. Im using 2/8/12 kernel and unnamed latest at the moment. I have widgetlocker on my purchased apps but I didnt installed it on this though.
But I have tried without any apps on icwscrewd,unnamed,shostock (just after flashing the rom) but problem is there
Sounds to me like the battery contacts are loose.
Hi. I have a very frustrating issue I hope someone can help with.
Over the last 3 days or so, my s2 has started to randomly shut itself down. It only appears to happen when I'm using an app, nothing specific, it can happen anytime.
The battery level has been anything from around 75% to 30%.
Sometimes when I turn it back on, the battery shows I am at 1 or 2 %, making me think it might be some kind of calibration problem, but I've tried the suggested method to no avail. I've also completely fresh installed the Rom I was on (neat Rom) and tried another (disaster Rom) but the problem remains.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing the random shut downs?
Thank you
Karf
Are you undervolting/ under clocking this can cause a sod
Hi. Nothing like that, just used neat Rom or disaster Rom as they come.

Your phone(battery) has insane gauge chip search for this it answer in your question(it's only for battery)
Happy new year
Paulius
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure my issue is to do with the guage chip directly, as my phone will switch itself off at any battery level. The issue designed in the other thread its having something like 56% and then having a much lower value after an intended reboot.
Shutdown it's called sleep of death( scary name) but it not death it's just sleeping forever... it problem with your kernel and battery problem is insane gauge chip...
Happy new year
Paulius
I've just charged to full charge, unplugged - and within 2 minutes, the phone froze, could not do anything - so i pressed the power button until it went off, and it booted back up again without me doing anything - when it booted, it showed i had 2% battery. Then it did the same thing, froze, i had to reboot - then it showed 37% battery.........no idea what's going on apart from maybe a faulty battery...
Buy new battery. It was here on the forum a few times.
Yes. When phone hot(sometimes not) it take battery about 50-60%(I don't know exactly) but sometimes it add battery...
If you flash siyah kernel with stweaks(5 version) you can reset it but chip do funny thing even you reset...
Happy new year
Paulius
try Battery caliberation app ...
if it doesnt work buy a new battery
What are you talking about ? It's not battery Fault it's Insane Gauge Chip.... And Battery Calibration not helping...
I decided to go the whole hog and go back to a stock unrooted ICS, after wiping everything, then CFRoot - then reinstalled Neatrom light - currently restoring apps via Titanium - fingers crossed...
I think you don't have anymore BSOD But if you have flash Syiah kernel
Try new kernel and reset fuel gage
Try installing a new kernel like siyah or dorimanx and then reset your battery log this should resolve your problem if not buy a new battery.

I think I have a very similar issue. The randomly reboots happens several times a day, it does not happen though when charging (never). By now I'm on jb leak and still have the issue. When it shuts down, the sreen dims a bit and then it's gone, the weird thing is that often I have to pull the battery or charge the phone before reboot is possible, the battery shows different values after rebooting, sometimes close to what was before (especially when rebooting on charger), and sometimes way off the values before. I came initially from slimrom with siyah or dorimanx kernel, I really hoped jb leak would help (also tried different kernels), but it didn't. It also seems to me that it happens more often with the sd card (32gb) and without the phone seems more stable, but still it happens from tme to time. Once the screen dim (only one or two steps) and shut down even happend when in CWM recovery, is it maybe hardware related? It's very hard to find the source of the problem, anybody else experience similar issues? By the way the shutdown I have is not a proper shut down, the phone doesn't show the message "is shutting down".
I've completely wiped, used Odin to go back to ics stock, installed cfroot, then installed neatrom light. Had the same issue, so I've installed siyah, and used stweaks to reset the battery fuel gauge. I've only been off charge for 10 mins so far, but normally it would have shut down by now, so here's hoping...

Update - battery was at 89%, and the phone shut down, when rebooted, it showed 28%, then when plugging in while it was shut down, the battery icon showed about 50%. Like a previous reply, it never happens on charge, so it does appear that the battery is knackered, time to go shopping I guess :-\

I had the same problem - SOD several times a day. I change the batery with a fresh new samsung 2000 mA one.
Unfortunatelly SOD came back, but I found a trick: turn off WiFi. Use it only manually.
For the past 3 months I succeded to have 0 SOD's.
I know that manual WiFi is a setback but it works with those experiencing SOD.
Hope it will be usefull.
Hi all,
I've run into something strange with my Nook's battery life. I have a 16Gb tablet that currently is running the 4/20 release of SlimBean with the v13.1 NOF kernel (mentioned for completeness, I don't think this is a ROM or kernel issue). The battery life has gotten so bad as to be virtually unusable. Here's what happens...
The battery indicator shows nearly full -- 75%~85%, then the digitizer gets wonky, and I get a hard shutdown (no warning dialog, just a complete power-down). If I turn the tablet on now, Cyanoboot shows a low battery level (mid-teens, normally), but the tablet proceeds to boot. NOW, the battery indicator reports the same as Cyanoboot. Within a few minutes, I get a normal low-battery warning, and a polite shutdown. If I start the tablet again, both Cyanoboot and the battery indicator show nearly full again, but I get only a few minutes of use before another shutdown.
I say I don't think its a ROM/kernel issue because I've seen this same behavior on my tablet using several different ROMs and kernels - including SlimBean, SG7, and Pac-Man. BetterBatteryStats isn't showing me anything earth-shatteringly strange, but I'm no battery expert.
Any ideas on what's happening here, and what I can do to fix it?

Some ROMs have weird battery issues. Make a SDC card of CM10 and see if the battery is still wonky. You can use this.

Thanks. I'll try that this evening and report back. On the upside, the way my battery is acting now, it shouldn't take too long to see if this fixes the problem...

OK... Been running with succulents's CM10 for a few days now, and I'm not seeing this happen as frequently, but it still happens occasionally. I'm going to wipe and reinstall SlimBean tonight and see if the problem returns...
Hello,
I used Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies few weeks ago. Then I passed to Paranoid Android 3+. But after some reboot loop issues, I tried to find out a more stable rom which made me come to Slimbean 4.3 official stable. It was all good for the first 3 days. No more glitchs or bugs which I had on the both other custom roms. But yesterday morning my phone just stopped charging.
I usually plug my phone to the stock wall charger at night before I go to bed and I unplug it and go to work. That night I didn't plugged it because I just wanted to try Sleep As Android app. My battery was about %53 when I took it to the Airplane Mode and started the app. In the morning, when I woke up it was about %23 and I plugged it to the wall charger at work. And voila! Nothing happened. The battery icon was like its charging but the count did not augment. When I powered off the device battery circle was gray and did not charge the device. I tried my charger with a Note 2 and it worked perfectly. I thought my battery died and bought a new stock battery from the Samsung Shop. It came with %50 battery in it. Few hours after, when I came home and plugged it to the charger. I noticed that the exact problem is still remaining.
I wiped (factory format, wipe cache/dalvik cache) the device using the TWRP 2.6.3 (the latest) and restored my PA3+ backup. Device became chargable again but it was so slow. I wiped again and restored my first custom roms backup (CM 10.2) which had a reboot loop issue. Interestingly there is no reboot loop issue this time and it shows like its charging but it seems a bit slow to me again. I powered off the device and Red Led Indicator showed up and green battery image showed like its being charging (which never happened when I'm on Slimbean)
I think it's a software issue. I really like Slimbean Rom and I want to use it. But I don't know how to charge my phone when I'm on Slimbean.
Is there anyone with similar issues?
Thank you.
Happened to me also
Slim bean 4.3 ruined my phone
I changed my rom
The problem is the same
Slow battery charging
And cpu is always on 1400mhz
I don't know what is the problem

Getting same issue have full wiped Inc system format. Only installed slimbean. No gaps. Charges extremely slow. I have to turn off phone you charge it. The charging indicator when off shows grey circle and no green battery.
Any idea
I like this Rom but is a deal breaker.

Hi guys,
Yesterday, I have encountered a strange problem with my S3. I was using CM 12- Beta 1. I had a strange bug with charging. Unless I enable unstable charging power, the charging rate falls down to 100mA. So, I have used @JustArchi's ArchiKernel ( @Moster2's build ) for LP. I have used kernels like Archi Kernel, Boeffla Kernel with unstable charging power enabled since past few months and had no problems previously.
I, then kept my phone for charging and when I saw it after 5-10 min, a charging animation with 0% battery shown up and the device got hot. I took off the charger and tried to switch on but it didn't work. I'm only able to switch on the device when it is connected to charger. But, it got stuck at Samsung logo. I have quickly entered the download mode and flashed a stock rom via odin.
I'm trying to switch on while charger is connected but the phone keeps on switching off at Samsung logo or even before the appearance of Samsung logo. When I left it for charging, the same thing started happening. Charging animation shows up and suddenly it becomes like a dead phone and restarts again to show up charging animation. Once, I was able to get past the boot screen to Samsung's lock screen but it switched off within fraction of seconds. What could be the problem? Is this an end to my S3? Please help me to find out the problem.

Can't tell you. It may be that, or your battery simply ended it's life. Nobody will assure you that unstable charging is secure, moreover, under certain circumstances it may NOT be secure.
