I noticed that the GN works with the charger plugged in and the battery out, unlike other Androids I've owned. The OS freezes after anywhere from 1-60 seconds, but it does work. So then after another reboot I tried plugging in the charger and quickly replacing the 54% charged battery with a fully charged one. Took out the charger again - no freezes at all. But the battery meter still "remembers" the charge state of the old battery.
So is this behaviour by design - Google and Samsung decided it's time to let this happen? - or is it merely an oversight since it confuses the OS?
If I'm in a situation where I'd like to use this trick to hot swap a depleted battery without shutting down, would there be any potential harm? I'm guessing it could bork the battery calibration.

It wouldn't effect Android, it would effect the battery itself. Battery calibration only happens on the battery itself, Android "battery calibration" that everyone talks about is just the battery stats page that tells you what apps are using what. The battery has a little chip on it that tells it when there isn't enough power/voltage to run.

That's a good question. I rarely do this and I think because of clearing out the phone often while swapping software I don't get any potential side effects.
Read the user manual, it specifically states not to do this.
Like all things, no one can stop you from doing it, doesn't mean that it isn't a silly idea.

That leads me to a good question - where is the full user manual for the GSM version, not just the quick start guide? Google doesn't even have it available on their site. Nor does Samsung Canada.
But I did catch the language you were referring to: "Do not remove the battery before removing the
travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the device."
Heh okay, oops
I'd say it's a terrible idea to even try to do this.
If your device writes to the internal flash memory just when the power runs out you may end up with a broken file system or even damaged flash cells.
Don't do it.

But isn't that no worse than doing an occasionally necessary battery pull?
In any case I wasn't describing the power running out at all - this is changing batteries while the phone is on AC power. Laptops have been able to do this safely since forever... Old dumb phones were often able to do it too. This is my first Android on which this actually works - but, true, the manual does advise against.

I guess I'm just going to avoid the unnecessary risk. I don't think a 3 minute restart is worth the inconvenience of replacing a phone. Or worse, it running buggy and not knowing why.

Btw, I have a surge protector with battery back up (Tampa thunderstorms can be a *****) and usually run my laptop battery less. It's better for the battery life but if I didn't have the back up battery, it could cause some headaches if the power blacks out.

Depends, I guess. If the phone has crashed and is in some endless loop doing nothing really, there should be no additional harm from the battery pull.
If only the UI froze but the "core" OS is still working in the background and updating the file system just in the moment you pull the battery .. well, that's really bad luck. :-/
Why don't we have external batteries like on cordless drills? Well Palm Pre and some others have it...
Probably a hack here somewhere to manually set the battery level and avoid that risk of getting a crucial customer call in that 3min reboot, no?

You answered your question, the battery pull for the freezing is unavoidable. You need to pull the battery.

I have been having some issues with my DHD of late (lag, repeating letters on the keyboard, dropping 3g etc) and called my carrier (TELUS) who told me that I had to pull the battery from the phone at least once a week as part of regular maintainance, BECAUSE it is running android.
I find this very hard to believe, and though I am a big believer of having to "power cycle" electronic devices every so often (I think the ones and zeros start having a party in the memory and need to be told to get out of the lounge and go back to work), trying to get that battery out of the case once a week is just a plain pain in the backside! It really doesn't take that long but it seems a bit of an overkill!
Has anyone else here been told that they have to pull the battery once a week as part of the regular 'maintainence' of their phone?
Next thing you know they will be telling me I have to factory reset the phone once every two weeks!
Never heard of this recommendation before. I try to do a battery cycle once a fortnight as well and power it off very occasionally for a few hours. But I don't take the battery out unless I have a stuff up in ROM. This seems really weird. Rebooting once a week is probably what they mean?
A regular reboot will have the same effect as pulling the battery, so you could just do that.

Are you sure? Sometimes when I've been using it heavily for a while I disassemble the phone to let the battery cool off quicker. (Take out sim, SD, battery, doors.) Does my method help at all do you think?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Well when my phone gets very hot (especially when it's in the phone cradle in my car on a sunny day), I just hold it in front of the air conditioner for sometime till it cools down. But this is due to external heat. During usage I don't think the phone will exceed any temperature limits and become dangerous. I think that disassembling the phone completely including SD card is overkill. It's not necessary to do that much. I do think that heat can degrade battery performance and cause it to discharge faster or expand in size, but I don't know the veracity of my information. Maybe someone with knowledge about batteries will see this and enlighten us. But the max I'd do if my phone becomes very hot is to just switch it off an let it cool for sometime. It cools pretty quickly when it's off. You don't need to disassemble it. Try that next time.
Regarding laggy performance of the phone and the suggested battery pull as regular maintenance, I don't see how removing and reinserting the battery is any different to just restarting the phone. I mean, you don't remove the battery on your laptop when Windows starts lagging on you right? You just restart the OS to flush RAM and other stuff. Removing the battery seems redundant and extra work.

LOL... if battery pulls were required then my phone must be in really bad shape since the only times I've pulled the battery in 18 months is if I flash something bad and my phone locks up during boot, which is very rare.
I think the comic you linked to says it all.
Hey there,
This issue started yesterday...I went to plug my S3 (SGH-T999V from Videotron) into the 5V charger and I go this message "Charging paused. Battery temperature too high.". I was like...uh..say what? I hadn't used it for anything else but watching a video (not even HD). After fiddling around unplugging and plugging back it finally charged.
But tonight, same thing, except it just won't let me charge! SetCPU showed battery temp at 80 degrees C (176F)!!! Mind you, I have the phone in a big case (Trident Kraken) but still, I removed the case and opened up the phone's back and it wasn't hot at all!!!
I waited an hour and then tried again. After a minute, same thing. Checked the temp, it was a 51.9C. I left the back opened and touched the battery, everywhere but especially near the contacts and it was fine...not hot at all!
I have stock ROM, stock kernel, but rooted. Of course, no overclock. I merely use SetCPU to put a clock speed limiter while the screen is off.
Anybody here has a clue about what could be going on?!?
Thanks!
At this point I'd say it could be one of two things. Software got corrupted and a factory reset will fix it, or the temperature sensor went bad and it's replacement time.
I'd try the reset and see how it fares. Typically this fixes 90% of problems (as ironic as that is, because we all flamed customer support at one time or another because that was their answer to every problem. And usually still is lol)

That's pretty much what I thought...
For the record I had tried a simple powercycle and it had no effect. However, I powered the phone off for an hour and just rebooted it and now it charges fine...go figure. I guess if it keeps happening I'll do a factory reset but that sucks as I would have about 60 apps to reinstall. I guess I could use Titanium Backup but then again wouldn't it backup the possible crap that's causing this issue? What about purging the dalvik cache perhaps?
Damn it. As I was typing this (after an increase of 4% in battery charge) it did it again...!!!
I just thought of another possibility or two
Bad charger.. or bad battery
Both can cause this I'm sure. Maybe even more likely. The battery could be bad, maybe the sensor is inside it. Sounds logical to me

I had turned the phone off after my last post and just turned it on to try charging via PC USB. Well, only a minute battery temp is at 60.3C (140.5F)! So I'm ruling the charger out.
As for the battery...well, I don't know if the sensor is inside or if it's inside the phone and just interprets data sent by the battery itself. It might as well be in the battery if the NFC chip is inside...
Anybody would know if wiping the dalvik cache could potentially help with this issue?
Never hurts to try!

this would be my guess
Well I went to a Videotron store and discussed with one of the agents there about the tests that were done, etc. I quickly gained his trust as, ahem, I actually work for the company as a commercial tech support agent...
I asked him to pull out the battery from his floor demo, which he reluctantly agreed to after asking the manager and we proceeded to test the other battery. Well, guess what? Same issue. Now, as per company policy I had to do a factory reset; tried again after that and again, guess what?
Issue persists.
So we proceeded to exchange the phone.
Neither I or him or the manager ever encountered this issue with any customer...I've googled this and looked all over XDA and never found any reference to a faulty battery sensor...!
One thing's for sure, the sensor is NOT located on the battery itself. By elimination, it's on the phone itself.
Wow that is crazy man. Glad you got it resolved! Least we know if someone else has a similar issue it may be replacement time.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
I'm going through this same exact issue right now. Bought a new battery and the problem is still there.
At the store you used a different charger/cable right? Have you tried completely wiping the phone? Which root method did you use?
Oh and THANK YOU for being detailed about the ROM, kernel, etc. It's impossible to help someone without knowing everything.
Went to the AT&T store and the problem was reproduced with no problem. They then directed me across the street to the service department. Went there and the lady couldn't reproduce the problem at all with the battery they had on hand. So now I'm being sent a new battery by mail to try out before replacing the phone. Hopefully a new OEM battery will cure my issue, but I'm not holding my breath. Thankfully the replacement battery I bought off Amazon came with a charger so I can charge and then swap batteries as needed until the OEM one arrives.
Wow this is interesting, as it is only the second case (mine included) that I'm aware of. And I had searched ALOT...!
Can you confirm that you have a T999 or T999V and if you were able to use any app that gives you actual temperature readings (such as setcpu for example)? If yes, what temperatures were you getting?
The battery sensor seems to be in the phone itself so unfortunately you'll have to get a replacement. Factory resetting the phone will have no effect.

Hi, this is a software problem try to use original rom and check re-partition on Odin ... i have the same problem with G70 Samsung Galaxy Player 5
I can't use custom rom because of this problem... my g70 work with cm11 normaly but the software have something wrong.. finally ... prohibiting charge the battery
Sorry for bumping this thread but I have the same problem, could I possibly buy a t999 or i747 board and just drop it in? Unlocked of course. Or can I replace said bad sensor with another, I have an old i9300 board lying around.

The i9300 is a very different device so I wouldn't try using its components. If you have a T999 or I747 then yes you can use either board. No other variant will fit right though.

Samsung battery too high problem fixed
Change charger adapter. Check voltage similarly. Or just don't use the 3.7v adapter at all
hi, i have samsung tab p3100 , its says battery temperature too high ,what will be the solution ?
I'm on my second battery now, first warped and died.
I'm now getting the battery temp too high issue, even though the phone seems cool to the touch.
I'm bypassing it by *charging my phone in the freezer*.
Not ideal, but I suspect it's a phone issue and not a battery issue as I tried a 3rd battery I had access to it it still happened.
Hello,
I've browsed the xda forums and few others extensively for solution of my issue, though to no help at all.
For the starters some numbers and general info:
Phone: R800i Xperia Play, 2.6.32.9-DooMKernel, Xperia NXT v.1.3.
Only default stuff running in the background.
For testing and possible solution, apps I've installed:
Advanced Task Manager,
No-Frills CPU (min. 134 MHz, max 1.114 GHz, smartass, sio),
Battery Defender (Temp 32C, voltage: 3.0V, changed from 4.0V).
I always keep Data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS off, unless I need them. Brightness is about 30% most of the time, no auto-brightness control.
For solution purpose I've got manual network selection for 2G, usually it is 2G/3G auto search - never got issues with this.
I've got two batteries, stock one and a Tell Me one, both 1500 MAh, both never had any issues.
Today morning (7AM), as usual, I've disconnected fully charged phone from the charger. I haven't noticed a thing that could be off about the phone.
I've went to the work, and around 11 AM I've messaged a little, and then I've noticed a weird thing - phone was very hot and the battery info said that it is on around 30%. Of course, first I've tried was to reboot the device, and lower the maximum frequency of the CPU.
Unfortunately it wasn't a bug or a mistake - phone really had around 30% charge left. I've got a usb cable from a co-worker to keep the phone from dying.
In the meantime, I've tried resetting the phone to factory defaults, tried flight mode, setting everything to off - nothing helped. Also, what's more weird - phone was charging incredibly slow (that might be because of charging from PC USB) when turned off and it still was hot.
I've realized that phone is getting really hot only in one area - near top right corner (place where light sensor is), on the backside, after you extend the phone (there is a little screw there, under 'sticker').
After getting back to home, I've tried charging the first battery to 100% - it completed, using stock charger, but it took quite longer than expected. Discharging is quite fast - 1% per 4-5 minutes. In ~50 minutes I've got 90%. This gives roughly 7 hours of work on battery. In flight mode, with everything turned off, with CPU on 134 MHz.
On a second battery, which I have in right now, I am steadily progressing from 93% to the 0% at the speed of 1% per 3 minutes.
Phone is +2 years old, not on warranty.
Any advice could be really appreciated.
Is it a stock battery or an aftermarket? I had an aftermarket battery once. It had a similar response in my phone. Bought another battery. OEM and solved it.

Maybe it's battery fault.
One of my battery did the same thing (it even got even bigger due gasses inside it). Replaced it and it's working fine.
If it happends on both batteries, maybe it's hatdware issue. In worste case, something inside phone is shortcutted and drainibg current, causing heating. Maybe opening phone and cleaning parts inside could help.

Wouldn't hurt to open it up and using an eraser clean the battery contacts inside phone and on battery itself. Then use a can of compressed air to blast that bad boy.

I've got two different batteries, stock one that came with phone, and a second aftermarket one, which was rarely used - only on long trips when I wanted to play. Both of them couldn't be damaged like that.
Phone never fell on the floor, is always in protective rubber-like 'case' and of course it never even touched water.
Right now heat is strong enough to be a bit painful if you slide the phone out and touch the light sensor area on the backside. I will try to get some torx screwdrivers and open up this part, but I doubt I will find anything. I was wondering if switching back to stock rom could help.
I'm really at loss here since I don't wanna buy new one, though they're cheap right now (about 150$ in my area with 24 month warranty, without any contract), since I've got some holiday plans and wanted to have some more funds. I can go by with the 4-5 hour discharge time if I have a cable on me since I'm working at the office with computers. I can always charge the phone, but knowing that usually I never even fell under 80% after 8 hours at work is kind of bothering.
Have you reformatted the phone via flashing a ftf file... see if that fixes the issue.
Maybe try to use it without battery. Connect charger, remove battery while still powered on, and wait 15minutes (as i recall, it will not turn off). If phone is still hot, then it's not battery related problem.

Actually I've tried this and I've got some results. Phone turns off when it stays this way in OS for a while, so I did that in Boot manager, which I thought won't be affected by OS itself, and I was right - phone stays on, with screen on. Unfortunately, it is very hot in the 'usual' place. So we can root out the possibility that this is a battery issue.I am not quite sure, but also this is certainly not antenna, since it is off in the boot manager, as well as WiFi, BT and GPS.
So could it be that the kernel itself, which must have some module responsible for power management, went crazy? That is just my wild (hopeful) guess, and I wish that flashing will help. Any ROMs that you can advice?

Well, to test if everything is working properly, flash stock firmware with flashtool (even kernel). Test all functions of phone with apps (wifi, BT, gps, 3g, flashlight, tear-front camera). If all works, maybe some chip is overheating.
In that case, if you don't know how to open phone, maybe it's best to take it to service.
If you do know how to open it, first start cleaning enterier. If that don't help, try to power it while dissasembled, and see what chip is overheating and google for it's model to see what it is.

Thanks for advice. I will flash the phone completely to stock and test it. Actually, if it is turned off, it is not heating up but starts to when I try to charge the battery.
I'm working at IT company, but my knowledge ends at the desktop computers actually, certainly I am not into electronics - I can tell when capacitors on motherboard are starting to go bad, but that's it. Starting from laptops, some parts are to small and prone to damage to be just opening and looking around.
I suppose if the stock kernel won't help, I will seek assistance of some service since they always give some kind of warranty for repairs. Of course, I will keep this topic updated, since there might be same kind of lost soul with the same problem.

When you are on stock kernel, test offline charging too (phone turned off, but charging). So heating problem is only limited to battery-charging electronics-kernel).
Post your results when/if it's fixed, no matter what they are. Good luck

Unfortunately, after flashing to stock R800i_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf I still have this weird overheating issue and the battery is draining really fast. Seems like this is hardware problem, not a software one, since I tested it in many different ways to no help at all.
I will not let go off my XPlay, as I will visit service and try to repair The Best Gaming Phone to Date, though I will buy a new phone, which will be Xperia S, since I've got my eyes on it ever since I played on my friend's one - Final Fantasy 7 with OpenGL plugin in fpse looked really great, and the controls were fine for my tastes.
When I get the XPlay fixed, I will update this thread, since I like this phone and would like to have it back and running.
Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and for some reason, the battery is draining fast at times and I have no clue why. Could it be a software issue? Lockscreen Issue? Whenever I have my phone hooked up and charging, sometimes it profusely keeps charging then stops charging and vibrating thousands of times. I'm thinking about doing a factory reset, any app that can backup all of my data to an SD card?
The only apps I'm using are facebook, chomp sms, magiclocker(theme), music, simple notepad, juice defender, kik, and magicjack.
This started happeneing about 3 days ago and its frustrating me when my phones dead and I have to call someone.
Please help,
Thanks

Its an SPH-D710, I havent modified the phone at all.
Thing is, everytime I hook up the charger to it, and it keeps charging on and off on and off on and off. It gets irritating and makes me want to throw this thing at the wall. Could it be the charging port?

Yes. This. I've asked mods to move it seeing as nobody else did.
You also mentioned that your battery is losing charge quickly, pull it out and try spinning it on a flat surface.
If it spins, then the battery may be going bad. There are a few options at this point, but I'd recommend ordering a new battery that has a larger capacity. There are several available on both Amazon and eBay.
I purchased a 3800 mAh battery with back plate for less than twenty bucks and my phone now lasts all day with heavy use. On top of that, I don't have to charge it as often, so there is less risk to my charging port.
Good luck!

Hi,
I have an S4 I9500 since a little more than three months. Only, for one week, it has started to start again and I find myself with a battery with 0%. Sometimes, it starts again and remains blocked on the logo of starting and dies out afterwards considering this “phenomenon” empties the battery at a stretch (moreover I wonder whether it is not a problem of battery). the beug arrives approximately twice a day whereas I surf on Internet or by writing a sms. I reset the telephone yesterday, but without success.
It discharged at a stretch this evening, I reloaded it, and there, fifteen minutes after, while writing a message on facebook, it was to 97%, it started again 69% then died out and I relit it (I had to remove the battery cause it freezed on the logo) to 47%, it started again to 47%, and two min after started again to 0%. It is sooo frustrating.
In the same way, and I do not know if it's linked, but I notice that my battery is emptied more (much more) quickly, at sight of eye.
Now I am on holidays, therefore when it beug, hop I connects it and I wait until it's fully charged, but I hope i could find a solution before the end of my vacancies.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your answer. Now that you mensionned it, i've just noticed a slight bump on my battery, but frankly i've never paid attention before. And to be honest, I sincerly hope that is just a battery problem and changing it will fix the problem.
I don't want to be silly but i'd like to understand if the bump is the problem what might have caused it? Can it just happen? The protection case might be the problem? I use a Muvit Case Slim valve for Samsung Galaxy S4 (with magnet)

i dont know what caused it but i compared the broken battery to the new one and there was a big difference, the battery cover was being pushed out on the mytouch
Could just be a defective battery from manufacturing process. Something is causing it to overheat and expand.

Hi guys,
So, I went to the store today, the guy told me that it was a battery problem, there was a bump on it, he said that it was due to an overcharge. I found that bizarre, considering that on forums they advise to charge the battery for 12h the first use.
Thank's for your help, and can you tell me how to calibrate my new battery in order to avoid future problems.
Could have been just a bad battery, nothing really that you did, who knows.
And 12 hours? Hm.. sounds a bit extreme, I usually just top my battery off and I'm set. :|
There are some apps in the playstore that will do it.
Such as, Rom Toolbox.
Also, some of the custom roms like Wicked come with the option.

Youre talking about a fast , usb charge mode that increases current drain on a usb source above 500mA.
Wall wart charge can go to 2000mA.
Fast charge option doesnt affect wall charging. Dont see that option in wicked v6.
That wont cause the OP's problem, which is simply a defective battery.
