Ok so I have a few questions about my Galaxy s3 i747. Ok so first off I am rooted but I'm not flashing any roms, never really felt a need to. I only rooted so I could use an ext sd card for gameloft games and also the wifi tethering.
So the first problem I am encountering is my phone will just start to die. Like I will literally just watch my battery plummet. How can I stop this?
I will wake up after charging my phone fully the night before and the battery will be at around 5%, if not dead.
This morning I noticed that I left my phone on the charger because I fell asleep and the battery was at 36% and it was extremely hot! 119.7 degrees according to the battery indicator on the phone.
Also I was using setCPU and it won't let me set my cpu to over 1026mhz anymore.
Is there anything I can do to fix any of these problems?
Thanks, TheMightyBean
p.s All these problems occurred even before root.
Defective unit or rooting did something. Search how to return to stock, reroot and go from there.

i have the zedomax v3
any1 kno y is this happening?
Mine is completely stock (unrooted) and it is getting hot like this for no apparent reason.
mine only started to appear after V3. now i'm on stock + root and no problems. i also believe its giving me better battery life.
It's been a few days since these comments, but wanted to point out something I noticed today.
Last night, I turned on GPS to teach my father how to use Google Maps for navigation on my former Evo3D. I left the GPS on during the night, and it was fine.
Today, I decided not to turn off the GPS, and see how the phone fares. As usual, I turned on Spotify and I was on my way on the road. Usually, whenever I need to switch playlists, the phone is at normal temp, not even warm. Today, the phone was hot, and the battery was drained to 60% in only 30 minutes of usage. Insane! I don't know what the deal was. I did see Spotify using 32% of battery, and OS using 42%. Usually, OS uses 61%, and Spotify about 3%.
Wonder if Spotify + GPS is bad combo...
I know my phone has ALWAYS gotten hot if using GPS + navigation while charging. But this was ridiculous! (phone was NOT charging).
Anyway, was hoping Spotify was not the culprit, and that it was the GPS. But I'd hate for the GPS to do that to my phone as well...
Spotify was streaming over 3G; that might make a little difference?
Any thoughts?
Where to begin....my phone would last about 9hr before this issues started happening. For some odd reason my indicator LED light won't shut off I had to download an app to turn it off. When I try to turn of the phone It will automatically turn on again but before it does it goes to the charging screen even thought the phone is not plug to an outlet. It all started happening after I used my friends LG charger i'm thinking maybe I damage something.

Judging by the screenies it looks like the battery is to blame. Those spikes are definetly not normal.

Definitely not normal. Get BetterBatteryStats and see if you have a wakelock

Looks like the phone isn't correctly reading the battery.
However, the symptom of the phone going into charging when off when it's not plugged in (phone thinking it's charging) is pretty common with the Samsung Replenish, and is almost always an indicator of a bad charging port. This could also explain the LED not going out (ie charging). We see it in our store alot. Your battery dying in 3 hours would make sense, as the phone isn't charging the battery correctly in this scenario.

Hey kartiel, hope you can figure it the problem. I would be frustrated if I were you. unroot and bring to sprint maybe they will replace the phone

I agree.. it seems to be the charging port on the phone. My wife's phone had a very similar problem. Her screen would turn on by itself, the led light would stay on all day, and battery only lasted about 2 hours. It would always freeze up too once in a while and when you turn it back on, the battery drained like 20% in a span of 5 mins. Her battery stats look very similar to yours, with all the spikes. On top of that, her phone kept going into driving mode or voice talk randomly. Her phone was rooted with the auto root procedure. I wanted to back up her phone with TiB regularly and put on adblock.. but otherwise everything was stock on her phone.
What I ended up doing was a factory reset. That cleared up the freezing issue and the screen turning on and off, but the battery stuff was still acting the same. I did a battery pull over night and cleaned the contacts of the charging port of the phone with a very small q-tip and toothpick. I also cleaned the battery terminals as well for good measure. Put the battery back on the phone and charged to full while the phone was off. First thing I did when I turned on the phone was to download the battery calibrator app and run the calibration. Her phone has been back to normal now for almost 3 weeks.

Are you in a damp/humid area? I know my phone did that sometimes too during humid summer days. It's completely fine in any other condition though, especially during this colder winter.

i'm not in a damp/humid area, my wife and I have the same phone. Mine has been okay with minimal issues. Although now that I think about it, she did spill some water on the table with her phone near by a week before her phone start acting up. She had a TPU case which protected it from most of the water, but maybe some of it got in through the headphone jack or charging port??
to the OP: maybe you can try this battery calibration method as well. Some people have reported success with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
I left my phone on the charger all night and when I woke up it was fully charged, but really.. really, hot. I noticed I had one notification which was a text and I know the phone stopped charging, and that shouldn't be the issue. After unplugged it, reset it, and answered the text It cooled down. I had a text just a couple of minutes ago and waited a while to answer it and noticed my phone was getting slightly warmer. Since I responded Its now at a regular temperature. Is it possible my phones overheating from pending notifications? I know that question sounds dumb but this is really bugging me out. Anyone have any advice?
I running ERA Legendary Rom with GetuSum's EI22 ICS theme 2.1 if anyone wanted to know.
Did you leave any apps on plus when you charge your phone Being "ON" it heats up more than if Off

I usually power it off.. because it also charges faster. I had no apps running and even turned off the data connection. I DID however try to install the gta San Andreas app from an "undisclosed" website.. (ehmm 4shart) which was a bad idea since of course it didn't work.. I really hope im not gonna have to end up re-installing this rom and theme, since i just installed it 3 days ago.
what are a couple things that would cause over heating? maybe that can help out.. thanks
If your phone is in use while on the charger... the display being really high the normal things.... that cause overheating like leaveing it clocked at 1500mhz
Sent From My "epic" SPH-D700 via XDA Premium
True, I think my display was on, and it usually is pretty bright. I just charged it again this time while powered off and there was no overheating (woohoo!) I've had this epic for about a year and a half now so I take care of it likes it's child haha...
I appreciate the advice :thumbup:
I noticed my phone got hot when charging (phone is on when I charge) with the EI22 ROMs I used.
I recently installed the stock EL30, rooted it, and installed the Shadow kernel for EL30. Now it always stays cool. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm happy it's always cool now.
there's possibily charging overnight will make your battery broke inside (see explanation for li ion battery on google)so it easily become overheated when used normally
Hi,
I have got this phone and i love it. I bought it 1 month ago. When i was using 4.1.1 JB which comes with phone there wasnt any problem.

you should try to figure out where the drain is coming from using something like betterbatterystats. If it is under warrenty I would take it back. If not id install 4.1.1 again.
Also you could use another cable or charger just to be sure it's not the charger that's being delivered is too low

My charger is 5v 2a original charger. It charges other phones normally. If there isnt any way to fix it ill wait for 4.2. I dont want to back 4.1.1. Im a bit lazy
Emotion rom 4.3 is awsum
Get the updated MB2 version rom
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I dont want any custom rom. If there isnt any fix for it ill wait for 4.2
I will bump this...because I'm having the same problem... I hear about 7 hours onscreen time and the best I usually get is 4.5...right now I'm at 63% and unplugged it four hours ago... current on screen time is 1 hr 21 minutes... granted it was on full brightness but usually I keep it at half.
Here is my problem.. when i check apps running I have 8...but when I close ram I get 52 applications closed.. HUH?
Help us track these down... I have the phone rooted but am using stock since nov or dec. I don't know what to search for to track these processes down... unfortunately sync being off doesn't seem to work.

Are you using 3G/H+ ?
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
3g is on... I really don't want to have to manually disable data everytime I unlock my phone, I would prefer to make the sync do that.
What about the 52 apps running at all times?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Ram closes many system apps as well which will be reloaded within the next few minutes.
If you do clear memory and leave the phone for a while then do a clear memory again you will be surprised to see the no of apps.
Use bbs to see what is causing battery drain.

Have you tried to flash a new KERNEL or reflash the original KERNEL. I would backup the phone cwm or TWP.
If you're phone is actually charging, then the old battery stats have not been erased. If unsure let it run down to zero, switch the phone off and put it to charge.
Good luck, I haven't had any problems with 4.1.1 dont see a need to upgrade.
RED OR BLUE YOU CHOOSE !!!
Thanks all. But it isnt any kernel problem i think. It occured after 4.1.2 and its about processors heat. On 4.1.1 when using phone on charging there was heat on top of screen. Sometimes cant touch there. After 4.1.2 this problem fixed but charging problem occured. I think they tried to decrease this heat but from wrong way. If i cant use this phone why im paying this money
This issue is somehow weird. When I do something with my phone for a while, my phone just turns off suddenly. It doesn't really power down, it is just off. Then I remove the battery and put it back, turn on the phone. Sometimes it boots successfully, sometimes it doesn't. The phone is bootable and works reliably when it is plugged in. I've tried flashing some ROMs but the issue still occurs. I don't know whether there is something wrong with battery or mainboard. I accidentally increased voltage for my Gnex via Trickster mod some days ago. I think this is the reason causing this problem.
Could you please give me some advice? Thanks.
Try to use another battery. I had the exact same problem for a while after the phone started to heat around the camera part. Try to get an app that says ur cpu temperature. If it shuts down when you do more serious thing on it like watching youtube or browsing the internet, then its 100% a battery problem.
