When fast charging, when the battery gets to 100%, the tablet goes into a kind of bootloop i.e. a half bright flashing Samsung logo. To restart requires going into download mode, and then cancelling (Volume down).
If fast charge is switched off (Device Maintenance /Battery/Settings) this does not occur.
Anyone else seen this?
Any solution!?
This is not a big problem, normal speed charging is OK for me but this has been an issue since new.
Hoping it might not occur with Oreo.

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.

You need battery replacement.

Thank you Archi. Is it because I have enabled unstable charging power?

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.
Hi XDA, wondering if anyone can help me out with an annoying problem.
I have a Galaxy Note Edge. Within about 8 months I've been experiencing random shut-downs.
Thinking it was battery related, I started there. The problem persisted. Thinking it was perhaps a wake-lock issue, I did a factory reset including cache clear, still have the problem.
Basically when I'm using the device it will randomly shut down. I could be checking my email or taking a pic, out of nowhere poof, off it goes. Battery will still say an arbitrary amount, today it was at 64%. But when I plugged it in, with the device off it said 0%.
I notice this happens often. If I charge my phone overnight it will stop charging at maybe 70%. Poor/wrong calibration?
Here's the thing though, even if the phone says 0% after shutting down, if I try to turn it on it will go into a boot loop for..well infinitely. Hours. So there's clearly still power. If I try to use my battery bank to charge it, it still won't get past the boot loop until I connect it to at least a 2.1amp charger.
I'm at a loss. There doesn't seem to be any obvious hardware issues. I've been scraping the interwebs for a good year but nothing has helped and I just live with it.
Running Android 5.1.1, stock, no dumb unoptimized apps. Someone please save my sanity? Cheers! E>
Since I changed the screen of my Mido, the red led is blinking when I try to charge, before that I unfortunately left the battery fully drain.
When I disconnected the battery and plugged the phone at the charger, I had the MI logo and was able to access the FastBoot. So I flashed the last official rom.
Now, with the phone plugged and the battery disconnected, I can successfully boot to system. Everything works normal, but the battery level indicates 50% of charge.
Sometimes the phone don't boot, and shows the big battery level at 50% and the green light and shows a constant green led, so i need to enter in recovery mode to boot the system again.
If I connect the battery with the system on, the battery level goes to zero and in a few seconds the phone turn off and the red led blinking returns.
Should I buy a new battery? Any other ideas to try?
Thx in adavnce!!
It is strange that everything happens when switching screens. Are the cables properly connected to the board? Any screw that makes a short? Any damaged cables?
My experience when changing a battery is as follows (I continue with the same in this example). I changed the betreia thinking that it would improve the life of the battery (the old one was inflated but it reached 100%) once I put the new one, the charge does not exceed 94%, even if I charge it. Something curious is that when you disconnect and connect the cable ... it charges automatically in seconds to 100%, it seems to be going well, right? no, since once removed from the electrical current the battery drops quite quickly to 71%, whatever the use you give it (games, social networks ...) there it stabilizes but still is not a good experience. It is not the rom as I have changed many roms (unofficial official, linegeos, pixel experience ...) and it remains the same (still need to test stock) (original battery).
With this I am not saying not to fix it by changing it but ... this can also happen to you.
I am still waiting for help me with that problem.
I hope your problem is solved soon.
Just to give the case a conclusion, I ordered a new battery and everithig is fine now!
Thx
A couple of days ago I replaced the battery on my Poco F1, because the phone is 2.5 years old and AccuBattery reckoned it was at 71% health. There were no issues with the phone, only that the battery life wasn’t as good as it once was (it was still running from 100% - 0% battery charge).
I bought the battery from AliExpress (this one to be precise) and the process of switching it out was easy and faultless, as far as I could tell.
The reassembled phone booted up fine and the new battery was at ~ 50% capacity. On the AliExpress listing it said to run the battery flat, which is what I did and it lasted quite a few hours - all good.
I then recharged the phone to full, as stated in the instructions. Regretfully, I interrupted the first recharge a couple of times by unplugging the phone for a few minutes each time. I'm telling you this for full disclosure - I'm unsure if this is likely to have caused the problem that I am now facing.
The fully recharged phone lasted a few hours and then shut itself down, whilst on ~ 70% battery I believe. This was the first time I realised there was a problem. The phone would not turn back on - holding down the power button and/or any combination of volume buttons did absolutely nothing. However, plugging the phone in caused the battery charging screen to appear instantly and subsequently, holding the power button whilst still plugged in would turn the phone on as normal. The phone would then boot up and battery percentage would be at ~70%, as it was when it shutdown (once booted, volume keys work fine). The phone would appear to charge as normal, but whenever I unplugged the phone, it would eventually shutdown on a high percentage after anything from a few seconds up to around an hour.
I thought I must have gotten a dodgy battery, so I took it out and put the original one back in. Now the old battery has all of the same symptoms as the new one – it won’t turn on unless plugged in and randomly shuts down after a period of time. If I manually turn the phone off when unplugged, it won’t turn back on unless it is plugged in. Also, a reboot just shuts it down.
I happened to have a spare charging port board, so I put that in to see if I’d fried something on there, but that hasn’t helped.
I’m tempted to reset the phone to stock (currently running Pixel Experience with TWRP installed) but am worried that it will brick the phone if it tries to reboot during the flashing process. Also, I believe that the fact I can’t force boot into fastboot with volume down/power buttons proves it is a hardware issue?
Any ideas are very welcome.
I think unless you have access to an EDL authorised account it's better to not flash MIUI at this stage. Risk of bricking the device...

Exactly the problem I am going through. It's all started today. I am currently running stock MIUI. It keeps boot looping if I do not plug the charger. But once it's plugged, it will load up normal.

I did flash stock MIUI in the end. Did not brick it, but also did not fix it. The phone now turns off immediately after being unplugged every time. I got myself a black Friday Poco X3 Pro so I'm now selling this phone for parts in UK

It could be a buggy PMIC issue similar to https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...android-11-0-vayu-bhima.4267263/post-85119331
Third-party batteries are mostly crap and probably the original battery is completely drained and the BMS isn't allowing it to be charged as a safety measure?

Hello dear tech enthusiasts,
I'm having very weird issues with my LG G8X ThinQ. It started when I connected the phone to a car for AA, the phone shut down. When powering on again, the screen would flicker very slightly, barely noticable. and then shut down again. This would persist for a couple of minutes untill I noticed the screen didn't flicker anymore and the phone would resume operation. I also noticed the phone being very hot.
It also started happening when charging the phone wireless. Not during charge, but when starting or ending the charge. Also with regular wall charge, or any car model charge. Recently, the phone started showing these symptons out of the ordinary, wtihout any charge happening. Symptons are usually the same, high temps and flickering screen when rebooting. The phone did not slow down in perfomance noticeably.
I really love this phone, powerfull, nice battery, good screen. I really do not want discard it over something weird. I tried sending it in for repair twice but those companies are clueless and I got it back (after several weeks) with "there's nothing wrong".
Looking for help or advice on how to adress this problem.
Thanks in advance!
M
