So I have been flashing alot of roms lately, been trying them all out. Just installed StarskyRom, and noticed that when my phone is turned off and I hook it up to the charger, the screen freezes when the battery load screen pops up.
Its the screen that comes up just prior to the battery level screen.... you know... the screen that freezes for a split second before the actual battery meter shows up. It just freezes at that point, and doesnt allow me to read the green charge level of the battery.
So anyways my keys stay lit up when its like this, or it wouldnt be that big of a deal.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Could a rom have done this?
Some people experience this on ei22. Try nomoarpowah from the market.

The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

This isn't a battery consumption issue...
Anybody have this problem yet?

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.
Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.
I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.
Same issue here

My Battery Monitor Widget shows a max of 1500mah? Wtf? And a measured of under 1200?
No wonder my battery life is crazy low...

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.
I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.
Does anyone else have a problem with the Battery Indicator freezing while charging. It happens every time I plug in. Earlier today I plugged in at 11%, an hour later the battery indicator (both on the lock screen and the settings popup) said 11%. As soon as I unplugged it, it changed to 76%. When I plugged it back in an let it charge again it stuck at 76%.
Anyone else have this issue? Any idea how to fix it?
The only things I changed system wise is: I froze Acer Content Folders, Acer Registration, AUPEO!, clear.fi, and MusicA. And thats it!
mine does the same exact thing and i didnt freeze any apps.

Yeah it's a pain in the butt. I never know if its charged unless I unplug it. And if it isn't I have to plug it back in.

Oh...not that this fixes it but if you want to refresh the battery indicator without unplugging go to settings/about tab/battery use/ and hit the little refresh icon in the corner.

So as title says my wifes battery died then once plugged up and left to charge phone wouldn't go past boot animation. she was running beastmod 5.0 and had been for Weeks without issue. It would boot as normal but as soon as the animation completed it went to a black screen, screen was lit up just black with darker black blotches. Has this been encountered b4? Any known cause?
Luckily I was able to get into recovery and restore a nandroid and it seems to be ok now, but I'd like to know wth happened .
Thanks

Maybe the battery didn't charge. But the phone booted and did not turn on touch screen or any type of resource that controls touch input. This has happened to me, I ran out of battery, 0%, and then I plug it up, it turns on but it doesn't not turn on any touch input device. So, I had to wait until it had 5% of battery to boot it up. This is the only issue I've had close to that

Once it died it sat on the charger for about 4 hours and one I restored a nandroid it was at 78% charge. After the boot animation it was just a back lit blotchy black screen, no wallpaper, notification bar, icons or any remote sign if life

So, is this fixed or you still having issues? If it is not fixed, pull battery, unplug, let it sit for 2 mins and (clean contacts if needed on batt and phone) and put batt back in, plug it. Let it charge for good 4 - 5 hours (don't power on). Unplug it and power it up. see if that fixes it.
Just trying to get my head around this dumb battery charging issue. Seems that some Roms the wife's kindle charges but doesn't say/show anything is actually charging. Some Roms show charging under battery information. All Roms don't show battery charging icon. Also the light on the power button works or doesn't work. Can someone explain all this so I can understand.. Its pretty bizarre.. Thanks
I will try to first give you the short answer then I will make an attempt at the long one. The charging issue is directly related to the kernel.... the long one... the icon will not indicate charging ever... go to about phone or tablet and status plug it in if it still says discharging unplug and replug if it still say discharging reboot then try again.. its common for the light to flicker amber when charging and not remain static at some point it will go green near the end of the charge... bottom line its just the nature of the beast...high usage fast or slow charge erratic indications all part of the animal...

Thanks for the explanation! What you mentioned is exactly what we have been seeing. It does charge so knowing its kernel related thing works for me.
I'm having a similar problem, I know it charges by going to the settings menu. The problem comes from when the Kindle goes to sleep, I always had a light come out of the button, but after installing Jandycane the light wont come on. It's hard to know if it is charging or not, anyone have the same problem?

Everyone has the same problem that's just how it is on JB and I believe ICS roms. The kernel needs fixed, but there are other issues that are most likely higher priority.

I have Hashcode's kernel and have flashed many ROMs. I'm on Hellfire's now . I find that if you charge in TWRP the light acts normal, stays red while charging and turns green at 90%. It may be my particular kf but try it , it might work.

Up until last night, the battery tab in Settings showed me the breakdown of each process that was draining the battery, including screen. Now it only shows that Android OS is using 100% of the battery and that it's been on for 248 days? Tried restarting and it's still showing up this way. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!
I don't own one of these devices(yet), but based on android knowledge I'll give some recommendations.
are you rooted or modified in anyway?
if so fix permissions and reboot. if that doesn't work clear your battery stats.
If not I'd try shutting it all the way off and plugging it in to charge. don't press the power button. If its like my other Samsung devices it should come on by it self when you plug in the cable and kick in to a battery charging mode just showing an animated battery in the middle of the screen. let it charge from there until full then turn it back on.
short from doing a full wipe I can't think of anything else to tell you.
You might want to contact Samsung or poke around the web see if anyone else have experienced a similar problem Ive never seen anything like that in a stock rom.
I'm assuming you have already tried taping the refresh button in the upper right hand corner.
when you tap on the graph at the top of the batter stats does it show you the time breakdown of the wifi and screen and such along the bottom?
oh also make sure your software is fully up to date.
