Sounds like a bad battery. I know it doesnt make sense, but trust me others here on this forum have had the exact same thing happen and 95% of the time, a new battery solved the problem.
Most definitely the battery. It cannot support the power load anymore that is why it turns off whenever you use a lot of system resources. You will need to buy a new battery, they are cheap via eBay - you can find stores that sell them brand new for about 20 dollars. Or through Google shopper.
I had to get a new battery when i got my phone i think the ones that come with the phone suck. the one i got was about 13 dollars with shipping from ebay.
Yeah the battery off ebay would be the cheapest...
Thanks guys will try that out
somethin easier and alot cheaper... go to your local tmobile store and ask for a battery, headphones, or anything else...
i got a battery and headphones for free
Ok will try the TMobile store
How did you get that for free man.
They will not give me one for free orderedone off ebay
Hey Guys,
Can someone please tell me about a compatible battery for our phone. My battery is completely dead and it cannot stand on for even 5 mins. Its about 2 years old (the one with the phone) and now I cannot find the original battery anywhere in Kolkata. I fear its production has been ended:crying:.
So, now I want someone to tell me about a battery that can bring my phone back to life (without damaging it of-course). I cannot use a note battery as it is big in size and I dont want to harm my G3 for that (by cutting and molding).
Please somone help me, I really depend on my G3 Community for this..........

Hi guys. Haven't been here in a while. My daughter is now saying her cap. glide is randomly shutting itself down- not related to low battery. It happened 3 times in one week. When she powered it up the battery was fine. The phone is about 9 months old. I think it has a 12 month warranty. At least on the samsung site it says 12 months. We got it from ATT with contract renewal.
I read that the regular Captivate had this problem. Did it flow over into the glide? Haven't found anything about it. I assume ATT will replace with a refurb if anything.

I use mine pretty heavy and havent noticed any problem i assume that you are running the phone completely stock and if so i would suggest that you download samsung kies from samsungs site and run it then plug the phone in and it will ask you if you want to update the phone it may run better on the newest firmware that there is other wise i would download avgs free antivirus app and run it to see if there are any apps that might be to blame i would post links but to avoid spam i am not allowed

Thanks for your response. Yes, it is stock rom, but I have it rooted with CWM recovery on it. I don't think kies can update it due to CWM. And it's in another state. LOL. But good to know you don't have the issue. As for running antivirus, my daughter does not even know what that is- she barely runs it on her computer. If I ever get my hands on it I will try your suggestion for AV.
Could be a battery issue... mine did the same, and when I took out the battery it was slightly swollen.
Thanks for that. I'll have her check it out.:fingers-crossed:
Interested in your solution
My wife's Captivate Glide just started having random shutdowns last week. I came over looking for a "return to stock" thread hoping that putting a new OS might help when I saw this thread. I've been reading xda on the GalaxyII boards since getting mine last year so have some familarity with xda. Wife prefers to not update OS so I want to avoid ICS. She had AVG installed and I added Lookout to scan with it also and can't seem to find an issue with those. The problem for her mainly manifest itself when she has the internet turned on. The phone will basically act like the battery is critical and do a shutdown even if it is over 50 percent. power up with the cord in and it still shows good charge. If I find something that works I'll post it here also.
I have random shutdowns/boot cycles too. I've narrowed it to a hardware issue. I was running rooted stock rom, but also ran liquidsmooth and now on aokp rom, and its still happens.
I posted a topic a couple weeks ago, asked if anyone has any experience replacing the power button..its not that it sticks, but if pressed the wrong way in the wrong spot, the phone goes into endless boot mode, with the samsung logo up for about three sec, then black, then samsung logo, then black.
The timing is rarely the same. There's no debris or gunk. Its not battery. Its not overclock issue. Its something to do with the phyical power button.
Can I diasble power button using key remapping?

Having the same problems with my Glide, and I really do think it's a hardware issue since my battery looks fine. After reading many threads here and elsewhere, I'm resigned to the fact that it can't be fixed, but more suggestions are welcome.
My daughter has had this phone for almost a year and it just started happening to hers. She is very hard on her phone. 5000 texts/month with alot of drops. She just might have abused it to near death. lol.
Random Boot
Hello guys;
I think I'm having same or very similar issue.
My phone is randomly shutting down; some times is in cyclic restarts.
Did you guys came up with a solution to this problem?
Thanks

5000 texts per month?
Does your daughter know how to speak or is she only familiar with written language?
If you're on a stock rom, it's almost certainly a bad battery.
Battery voltage will drop when it's hot or if it's damaged. When you turn it back on, the phone says you still have plenty of power left.
What the phone is really doing is making a guess about how much battery life it has left.
It knows the voltage. Now, if you know the voltage a battery is producing with no load, you can get sort of an idea of how much more life you can get out of it. The phone keeps track of this (roughly) and tries to guess. It's also not going to let the battery drop too far down below 3.6 volts, it will shut it off for safety, because if you truly completely discharge a lithium battery, you can't charge it. (there are tricks to get them going again, but it's bad for them.)
And a damaged battery can have plenty of volts, but once you put it under load it will drop sharply. The phone will power down to protect the battery, or it just won't be able to stay on any longer.
Anyway, pull your battery. Make sure it isn't bulging. Pick up a spare off of ebay for $10 and see if it is better.
Or if it's under warranty, just take it in.

Lol.... Sometimes it's only 3 thousand. But you are right. The art of communication is being lost on this generation of kids who rely on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Instead of calling, they text about everything.
My daughter is graduating:victory: with a double major- Theatre and speech (performance) so we know she can talk and sing and psychology with ambitions to get a masters in dance therapy to work with autistic kids.... If broadway does not work out Any directors or producers out there need new talent?? :fingers-crossed:

Very informative. Thank you. She did pull the battery and it was fine. It is about a year old. I got her 2 replacements and she just doesn't use them. I will suggest that she switches to a new one- although they are almost a year old too, but unused- I charged them up once before i gave them to her.
phone saga continues!!!
:silly: Well, my daughter being sooooo poor that she couldn't buy herself a BOX of tissues(cough-cough), she was pulling toilet paper from the dorm bathroom and plop! OOps!! Her phone fell into the drink! (toilet bowl!!)
She knew enough to pull the battery and used a blowdryer to start the dry out process, and put it into a bag of rice. Didn't leave it in long enough and tried to power on- did a little dance, and it died. I thought she fried it, but she put it in rice again- battery pulled and slid in the open position.
2 days later she called us on it- (today) and it seems to be working!!!:victory:
So, Rice saved the day again! :silly::good::highfive::fingers-crossed:
We'll see how long it lasts. I bought a cheap go phone last nite on att for $21 as a temporary replacement. Maybe it won't be needed.
Help!!
Hard to believe my glide is begining to give problems. After flashing a stock kernel on spike55 jb 4.2 rom,i started getting random app crashings. So i sought to revert by flashing back the original jb ROM,but it got worse. Now i was uable to get network and my baseband version displayed unknown also i had random reboots.
At this junction, i realised i had to revert to stock. So i got a stock ICS rom from sammobile, flashed it via odin and whala! Problem seemed solved. So i flashed CWMR and reflashed jb 4.2.
Afterward, all seemed well not until the random reboots came back. So here i was thinking about my phone being tired of all the flashing and wanting to be on stock. I went back to stock, but the random reboots still lingers.
Though i have a feeling the problem is with my power rocker cos only a little tap pops up the power menu.
At this junction, i dunno what to do. I'll be very grateful if i can get any real assistance from anyone. Thanks a bunch in anticipation.
So I thought I'd post again. Daughter home for good. Started complaining about her battery again. I found her 2 spare batteries that were never used. Had her make the switch.
Then I looked at the removed battery. It was slightly swollen. You had to look straight down to tell. Looking at it flat, it seemed to be fine. But put it on end and it had a slight bulge. So it was a battery going bad. We caught it before the phone was damaged.

Hello!!! Back again My daughter ran on macadam and her unprotected cap. glide plopped out of her sweatshirt pocket and hit hard. A small hairline crack in the screen, but it pretty much killed the digital panel. She had it for 18 months and for her, that's a record. But she loved the phone.
We just got a new one unlocked one off amazon for $138. No contract renewal for her.
If anyone is still reading this thread, her OS is 2.3.5 or 6. Is it worth updating to ics? We don't have kies installed so it will be a job to get everything installed, get drivers working, etc. She will be happy with GB. Last time I made the change to swap external and internal sd cards and she had no problems.
So is ICS worth the effort? Battery life? Can the sd swap trick work? Any advice will be appreciated. Presently it is new and stock.

..it might even have come with ICS, the UI differences to GB are very slim.. Can't say more because stock roms are far inferior to the beast called P.A.C.man ROM :laugh: :good:
Really depends if she is tech savy and will explore the depths of customizability and usage... If so, http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/i927/nightly/ is the next place to go
Nightly builds 'been broken for 10 days now but should be fixed soon by awesome @kick buttowski :good:
And on a rooted phone, Titanium Backup can import/export SMSs and contacts supposedly even over to a different rom. (Still struggling a bit getting all my contacts ported from the sony xperia system, but..)
Oh by the way, one of them plastic hard cases is about 5$ on the bay
...It's not water proof though

Nice to see people are still using this phone. As far as the case- I must have bought 5 of them for her. She didn't want them on her phone. Now that she paid for her own replacement, she may rethink that one! lol. She is not tech saavy at all, so custom builds are not her thing. I didn't even do the mods on this phone that I did on her original. Thanks for your input. OH, it's still GB.
Heya Peeps
Has anyone had a problem with their power switch going duff on their N7100. Mine has (it sporadically works by being lucky when pressing it, its lost its springyness), so I am looking to get it fixed. Dreading the time it shuts off and I can't get it restarted!
Its still under warranty but unfortunately I need the phone pretty much every day so can't really wait for it to go of for repair and come back (plus its not running any samsung firmware if that matters these days?).
How hard is it to dismantle the device and replace the switch on it?
Sources for a suitable switch would also be great if anyone has experience with this side of things!
Thank you in advance for any help provided!
Guess that this isn't a commonly done thing.
I have ended up ordering a replacement switch from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CBVQDLG/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1), hopefully I'll get it tomorrow and I'll update as and when what it was like to swap over (since posting yesterday the switch has gone kaput fully!)
