[Q] ok, battery problem. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

hello..
well, the duration of the battery is fine. the problems is that when the battery % reaches 9% it goes down to 1%! it passes from 9% to 1% almost instantly. the same thing happens when charging the phone, goes from 1% to 9% charged in seconds.! so, what is happening with the missing %?
it is an Xperia S, stock ICS rom. the one that sony provides.. i've never rooted the phone.
can i solve this with the PC companion? by repairing the phone?
thanks..
(sorry for my bad english)

Maybe the battery status is not updating automatically. Try updating it manually

ok, i did it. but no, problem still there.. maybe it is a bug like the other person says.
well i'll wait for the JB update, it should be in a few days. i hope it solves the problem.
thanks for the answers.

I had this exact problem a few weeks ago on an LT28at with, at the time, ATT's ICS .111...i flashed everything i could find trying to chase it, rooted, unrooted...did that hard reset thing with the battery full, etc...Mine was about 30% off...it would stay at 100% for hours, and would shut off as soon as the phone hit about 31%...and show all the crazy cliffs in the battery status menu...
I was sent a replacement by AT&T...the directions for returning my old phone stated do a master reset...boot down the phone...remove the sim card...and boot it back up without the sim card...I skipped the master reset, as the phone had just been flashed back to unrooted ATT ICS .111 (wanted that on there went i sent it back)...
booting the phone without the sim card...the battery icon flashed a few times...then popped back to 'normal'...No idea if this was just coincidence, or something else...as again; i had tried every single option i could find on here (rooted batterybin wipes, everything)...none of which seemed to changed anything...but it returned to normal precisely when i did a sim-less boot up...
its worth trying, but no promises...it may just be something that eventually fixes itself...

Calibrate your battery using app by nema in playstore

that's the same thing that is happening to me! but with just a 8% battery missing.
i will try to turn off the phone, then remove the sim card thing.
well you send it to at&t. i can't do that, i'm in Venezuela. bought the phone online.
if this doesn't work i'll try the battery calibration app..
thanks for the answers.! really apreciate it.

[problem persistent] Phone won't reboot without pulling battery?

(Tittle changed from *Phone won't boot with sdcard inserted*)
I woke up this morning and my phone was just dead over night. I thought well the battery just drained but no. First it wouldn't charge, no red led lighting up on the power button. After 15 min. in the wall charger and no sign of charging i hooked it up on my netbook. About five min. went on and then the red led shined and i thought yes and tried booting but just a vibrate once and a black screen.
I was running latest 4.0.A.2.368, rooted, unlocked bl, doomlord's kernel and @thomassafca's samsung theme when this happened.
Tested fastboot mode and flash mode all good there, blue and green light.
Then i re-flashed doomlords kernel and it rebooted to the point of *sony ericsson* on the screeen and went black and then the charging icon and orange led.
Took out the battery and inserted it again and booted up. Again only vibrate once and then black screen.
Then flashed kernel.sin with flashtool, still the vibrate once and black screen.
So i was a bit lost and took out sim and sdcard and flashed 4.0A.2.368 ftf file posted by @thomassafca and it booted fine. Then i turned it off and inserted the sim and booted up. It booted just fine. Then inserted the sdcard and again vibrate once and black screen.
Then formated the sdcard extFat still no boot, tried Fat32 no boot, tried a card from my old nokia wich should be formatted correct since it also run on a linux base (maemo) no boot.
I'm a bit lost on what to do to make my phone boot with sdcard again.
Have been working with no issues at all since i flashed the new firmware/unlocked bl/flashed kernel/rooted.
Any help will or if someone could explain what happened will be great
Regards Dousan...
e: Ok a slight change in this. The phone when turned of won't boot again unless i take out battery and insert again. When booted into the phone i inserted the sdcard and mounted it and now it boots with the sdcard, but still the same issue of having to take out the battery to boot when turned off?
e2: Tried adb reboot and it seems to go in a bootloop. It connects to the pc and disconnects (windows sound plinging connected disconnected) and i can adb devices and a connected device number appears after the first pling and after the second pling there's no device to be found with adb and then it just goes on and on till i disconnect and pull the battery and boot? All this is with a black screen not even *sony ericsson* appears.
e3: Reflashed it with the latest fw and without pulling battery it booted right up and i thought, yes, problem solved. Went through setup and then turned it off and booted the phone and still vibrate once and a black screen. Pulled out battery and botted again and still vibrate and black screen? So pulled it out again and sdcard and it booted up fine. Inserted the sdcard when on and mounted it and it works, but still the boot problem?
After the reflash the vibrate felt different, stronger, and after i pulled the battery it's weaker.
e4:Flashed doomlords kernel again and rooted, still same issue?
e5: Solved problem by flashing doomlords kernel v2 for fw 4.0.A.2.368. After flashing it booted with the kernels new boot txt and then it turned off and the charging icon showed. Then booted into cwm and wiped dalvick cache and battery stats. Then rebooted from cwm and it booted up. To make sure problem was resolved I tried 2 times in a row to reboot with quick boot and it booted without me having to pull the battery Thanks all for your suggestions
Try going back to .145, see what happens. Flash the .tft file so you get the older baseband. Worth a try

Not likely as i only OC'ed to 1400 the first feew days i had the kernel and then 1200 and when it happened stock clock.
My incident is isolated and your point is?
@captain67, yes it might be related to the kernel, could be?

e: would there be a point in booting into cwm and wipe dalvik cache, wipe data/system and battery stats and then re-flash 4.0.A.2.368?

And then the problem reappeared and this time i couldn't fix it myself and has just gotten my play back from service today (one and a half week they had it). It turned out to be some hardware problem and i've got a new screen, top cover and some other stuf.
Flashed the latest FW and locked the bootloader before handing it in and just told them what happened. Woke up and turned the device on and it froze and then it turned off with the backlight on. Tried rebooting but just a single vibrate and then a black screen.
They fixed my issue but created another. The volume button is now broken and i have to go back tommorow for a second time. Just booted the phone this evening and wanted to hear some music, but couldn't turn up the volume without pressing a pionty thing on the rocker. Down works fine. Bit annoying that a broken volume button can leave the service place, that should've been seen by the service person in the shop before it was ok'ed.
The screen is nice and crisp and the old one had a backlight issue i just lived with... untill now
Regards Dousan...
So a little update on this:
As i said they broke my volume button while repairing it for the stuff i wrote about above (didn't want to turn on).
It took me a week to go back with my play and in the meentime i descovered that it would randomly turn off during the night and wouldn't turn on unless i pulled the battery and charge it untill the charging symbol showed on the screen. It would then boot and first i thought it was the battery that was drained, but when on the lockscreen it showed that there was plenty of juice on. One time it was 35% and another it was 62% and no way it could've charged that much in 1-2 min.
Another thing i descovered was that when turned off it wouldn't turn on again unless i pulled the battery.
Anyway i went to pick it up yesterday and here i saw that they've broken my R-trigger Those idiotic service people even ticked of a box on the service papers that they've checked that all buttons where working (i don't think so, slackers). They did this on both occations
My play had no juice on it so i wasn't able to see if they had fixed my problem about not being able to reboot without pulling the battey and the random switch off's. Further more the service papers that came back with the phone didn't mention it at all? They did fix my volume button or atlest it seems they did as i couldn't turn it on and check if it did actually work.
So once again i'm without my play, but this time they're processing it express

Yeah i know, I'd rather have them fixing it though, than having a fualty device. In the end it might go to SE and let them see if they can fix the issue. Hope not, don't want to be without my play once again Got the iches for gaming and now EA got free games, bummer
Regards Dousan...
Well just need to vent a little.
Starting rant:
So I got my phone back today for the third time. They did fix the R-trigger they recked the last time it was in for service, but they didn't fix my issue with the random rebooting/turning on without pulling the battery.
They claim it worked fine before shipping it, but when i unpacked it and let it charge enough to power on guess what it didn't turn on i had to pull the battery to get it to turn on lol They shipped it without checking if they fixed it. Hell i don't even think they tried at all cuz then they would've cought it straight away. They're full of BS and when googling them and reading their trustpilot it's also full of dissatisfied customors with the same type of problem as me, no fixing or pour fixing or even more breaking of the device or simply lieng it was water damaged
Hey that sound's familiar to me, not fixed and more broken, those C*NTS.
I'm pissed and nothing i can do but a claim with the place i made the purchase.
Rant ended
Regards Dousan...
End of story...
Well the last update on this.
I made a claim with cdon.com where i bought it and sent it of to their service center for repair and once again it was returned non repaired. Still wouldn't turn on without pulling the battery. Then they sent it of to SE and they couldn't fix it either and sent a new device to cdon.com, but i chose to get my money back instead of a new device.
The cons of this device ended up being more than the pros. Relly liked this device though and what it was supposed to've been. I was just not the big gamer i used to be and mostly played RB6 online and found the lag of analog touchpads support in fpse annoying and psxperia converter tool didn't work with the games i liked to play.
Anyway it was a fun ride while it lasted and mostly a friendly helpfull crowd I encountered here in the play sub forum. Must say that it has been the best forum I've been submitted to so far
Thanks to all of you and I might see you around

I ended up with the Lumia 800. The N9 seemed nice and have good specs and a familiar OS, but tried it out a few times in a shop and didn't get that wow feeling. Further more read a few things on TMO (talk.maemo.org) in the N9 sub forum that convienced me not to pick up the N9. Even read some danish users experience with the device and it wasn't good all in all. Though the N9 has it's openess and a lot of modding potential i didn't want to go for a 'half finished OS' as i see it from reviews from users. On TMO hardcore N900 users that shifted to the N9 was dissapointed in the N9 as it's gone more mainstream and comercial in how Nokia build the OS.
As of now the Lmia suites my needs much better and I do like the WP7 feel and looks.
It was hard to choose between the two devices as they both have good things going for them.

Dead LG Optimus One

i tried to update the stock firmware from v10s to v20g by flashing. Afterwards, there is no signal and when I try to exit my lock screen the screen goes black and says " application settings process com.android.settings has stopped, please try again". All I can see is my status bar and I have no signal whatsoever.
Is my phone completely bricked?
you flashed using kdz?
which rom did you used?
It might be the case that you loose your baseband.
I also suppose that you dont have any nandroid backup.
Dont worry it will be sorted.
Just reflash it again using the same.
If it doesnt works then flash it using stock froyo.
Hey thanks for replying, I just rebooted and it fixed it.... lol
But the problem im facing now is the battery draining rapidly... i just surfed the web with wifi for about 15 mins and talked on the phone for 10 minutes and in three hours, the battery dropped about 25%.
Whats weird is the cell standby is consuming more than 40% of that

Known issue. Open phone, type *#*#4636#*#* to get the service menu, select Phone Information, push menu button, choose "Select Radio Band" and accept the force close crash, then go back into "Phone Information" and scroll down to "set preferred network type," change it to anything else, then back to "CDMA auto (PRL)." You can exit out now and your battery should last a long time. It seems like a long process and you have to do it every time you reboot, but it goes pretty fast once you're used to it.
Thanks legion, I'll try that....
Theres also another issue i found today, The phone seems to be using up the internal memory for no particular reason after I run apps and close them. I use appcleaner to clear my cache and also cleared my browser cache/history/forms.
I went from 96mb this morning to 75mb right now.... I haven't installed anything except removing a 200kb app........so weird
EDIT: Oh geez, just reboot and i regained 20mb.... probably a reading error on the internal memory....bleh
I have one last question though... I've been having this problem since 2.2.1 >> after every reboot, the i have no service/sim till 15 minutes later.... weird... my phone is unrooted btw
thanks!

LG G3 D855 shutsdown on its own

Hello,
So I bought a G3 the day before yesterday and yesterday was my first day with it, and for that first day my phone had shutdown twice on its own. The first time was when my phone was lying on the bed and doing nothing, it had around 50% battery and was not hot or anything.
The second time was this night i don't know when, i have put my G3 on the charger and went to sleep i woke up and it had shutdown.
I didn't made factory reset when i got i from the box which i will when i come home from work and hopefully this will fix it, but does anyone have a problem like that? If is something serious i will be disappointed to return the phone.
p.s. My previous phone was galaxy s2 and had this king of problem only with custom roms and kernels, but i have not put anything on the G3 yet, except activating the developers options and had switched it to ART and the first time the phone had shutdown i thought that the art was the issue and switched it back to dalvik, the second time though was on dalvik.

I have the exact same problem. The past few days when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, the phone has shut itself off. I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms.
I would advise you both to take a factory reset, only install apps you need for a few days and see if the problem persists, if it doesn't install your apps back one by one as it may well be a particular app causing the reboots.
If you still get reboots after the reset and with no apps installed then you may have to take the phone back to swap it.

Yes as I said in the first post the factory format and hard reset will be the first thing that will be done as soon I am at home. About the apps i have pretty much basic apps (facebook, messenger, soundcloud, etc) all from the market except smashhit of which i have the apk and installed from the internal memory.
Except those apps I have 2 mp3s and some wallpapers and nothing else, becouse when i got my phone it was late on the evening and i had no time to do anything else. So the phone is pretty much out off the box and I was verry frustrated when the secound shutdown happened, becouse i tought the first was from the ART runtime.
Anyway today I will have more time to spend on the phone and we will see what will happend.
p.s. The phone does not reboots, just shuts off.

Is it definitely off or is the phone just stuck on a black screen? It is quite common on some devices when something is not quite right for the kernel to be unable to wake the phone up, the phone is still technically on but stuck in deep sleep.
does holding the power button for 2 seconds turn it on? or do you have to hold it for say 7-8 seconds?

It is definetly shut down around 2 seconds(the normal time to hold the power button to turn on) it turns on and work perfectly and does not show anything suspicious in its behavior, it's super fast, not laggy and etc, may be a little high on ram consumptions but with this havy skin i think it is normal or could not be normal idk, the ram consumptions go from about 1,2GB the lowest i have seen to up to 2,3 the highes i have seen.
Anyway about the shut off think yes defenetly 100% sure it is off, it happend again a while ago and i thoght the same thing may be it si deep asleep even i had chacked the weather 10 min ago and call myself from a friends phone and the operator said that the phone is off or i am somewhere without network covarage.
i got same problem. it turn off it selft and black screen even battery still 70%. rmust remove the battery to restart again, ealy bad. huft

If you have to remove the battery to get it to restart then its not actually shut off, its just stuck in deep sleep! which is usually caused by a bad app.
Yes if you have to remove the battery the problem is different, i just have to push the power button and it boots right away after it have shuted off by its self........
i didnt have this issue with my 855. but i did a factory reset after i got the phone just for the hell of it
So it's reset time i finally have some time to the some staff on the phone so hopefully everything will be fine. I will post if this fix or not the problem to inform the other people in this thread.

did you have any luck with the problem? I have the same issue, performed a factory reset and restored, hopefully it will fix too..
Hi all!
I have and have had the same problem and think I've pinpointed the problem to Google Search but can't 100% confirm it yet. I didn't do a factory reset when I got the phone and it shutdown during the night. I did a factory reset, made sure it got enough time to update everything properly. Problem was gone and worked fine. HOWEVER, the phone kept asking me which home screen I prefer at random times when I hit the home button. With random I mean like 4+ times per day. I searched the net and found a threat saying that a guy with a G2 solved the problem by removing Google Search updates. So I decided to do just that and get the factory version back and the questions disappeared but guess what, the phone shut down the following night.
Any takers or might this just be random? Note that it was working fine for three days with the updated Google Search and shutdown the first night after the downgrade.
So I did hard reset and so far so good the phone had not shutted down itself, and I updated everything which need to be updated (mentioning this for the guy with the upper post). So far so good I will keep you in touch if something goes bad...

The problem will be resolved?
I suggest take it to your dealer and get it replaced asap. I've seen lots of returned phones(my job at XXXXXXX company ) with the same issue, and as long as the defect is reproducible the dealer will give you a new phone. If it's outa replacement period then they'll probably repair it.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand shut down again but this time it took quite a bit time longer to shut off by its self so i tought the problem was fixed, but it's not, so i am going to the store which i buy it from to replace the device.....
Does this also happen with the korean models?

LG G3 freezing and restarting, staying in boot loop sometimes

Hello,
Since 2 weeks ago my phone has been started acting all weird. It started with my Phone freezing and restarting itself one morning. It showed the LG logo for a few seconds, then went black and the same thing repeated. LED did not start blinking at first but after a few loops the LED came on, the animation played and phone turned on nicely. No more such problems during the rest of the day.
Fast forward 2 days. It got worse. The freezing and restarting happened more often and at one point it was in the LG logo -> black screen -> LG logo loop for a good 10 minutes before it booted. It also drains my battery about 10% every single time.
So I decided to do a Hard Reset when I managed to keep the phone running long enough. The hard reset process itself worked flawlessly, no issues during the reset what so ever. I though the problem was over until a few minutes after the hard reset when I was reinstalling my apps, it froze and restarted again.
I started googling about the issue and found a few matches. Some people suggested replacing the battery and some suggested putting a piece of paper between the battery and the SIM card slot from which I did the latter. That actually worked for a few days until the reboots came back and it got worse by the day when it finally was completely unusable since it kept restarting after booting up (usually it didn't even get to that point). Then I decided to try a new battery because it was the cheapest option available at that moment.
At first all looked good on a new battery but still, just a few minutes after rebooting the phone from a new battery it froze yet again and restarted itself. So 25€ wasted on nothing.
At this point I'm starting to run out of options and really would not like to buy a new phone since my G3 is only two years old (warranty just ended in October 2016).
Any suggestions are more than welcome at this point.
Best regards,
Taavi
Yesterday I tried flashing the stock V30B marshmallow ROM onto the phone using LG flash tool 2014. It lasted without restarts for about an hour and then it all started again.
So in conclusion:
A) It's not the battery.
B) It's not the software.
C) Thus it must be the hardware.
Since my warranty is void already, the repair costs would probably be quite large.
I think the only chance left for me is to suck it up and buy a new phone.
It was fun while it lasted though. RIP.
Funny thing is that after I removed my SIM card, the issues have stopped for ~24 hours. Yesterday I was able to browse reddit and watch videos for almost 2 hours straight with no issue when I had no SIM card in the phone. I will try inserting the SIM card again after I have fully recharged it to see if maybe it has something to do with the SIM card connection.
Put in the SIM card and it didn't even last 24 hours before restarting. Took it out again. Unfortunately it now restarted even without the SIM card so it still must be some hardware failure.
Same issue here. Changed battery, factory reset, rooted and TWRP+CyanogenMod 14.1 flashed and SU granted.
Constant reboots. Sometimes bootlooped until I remove battery
Having the same problem. Tried new battery but it turned out to be a cheap clone that was worse than old battery. Got another from mbuynow which last longer but still restarts but not that often. Tried the paper trick to to avail. Also tried the LG suite to see if it helped but no luck. Running marshmallow 6.0 and have done a full reinstall. Is this likely to be hardware problem?

Cannot tell for sure but seems it is a hardware problem which is really sad since besides the restarts the phone is still in very good shape. I would take it to repairs but as my warranty is already void it would make sense to simply buy a new phone and sell the current one to parts.
I have the same problem... I flashed CRDroid or something with Android 7.0, it booted normally, but then, restart after few minutes... It can boot normally with the usb to computer, but not with charger. It can also boot to twrp, wipe, install and fix the system works, installing other roms works too, and they can boot normally, but it shut down, as soon I remove the cable... I thought it was nougat rom, it change some in system files or drivers like battery options... I'm out of options...

Seems like a battery issue I think you need a new battery if it's working without the wire plugged in

I have 2 phones. This thing seems to puff exactly after 2 years coz they were bought in difrent times and both of them emerge this issue after 2 years for each. boootlops were after few minutes from start. In case of first one new battery was a bingo but i did not investigate second - im going maybe for new phone. Funny thing. Maybe product life time was to planned to good(for producer)?
I was a great phone, longest I have and most customised... Very agile, never had bricked, bootlooped or failed to flash... Thank you for your great support, LG G3.... Rest in Peace... If someone can bring it back to life, I'll be back to that.
I'm counting on someone stumbling on a fix as well. It's still an awesome phone expect for this stupid thing.
I had similar issues but I realized that different SIMs seemed to work with the phone. Went to my carrier and requested a new one. Since then, no issues. Maybe something with the sim card slot?

It happens even when my SIM card is not in the phone. It could easily be the SIM card tray but cannot confirm without taking it to repairs.
Did you try disabling Location?
(I had random reboots when the battery went to 25% and when i disabled Location services,it got fixed)

One of the hard resets I did was from full charge and I didn't enable anything, including location. It still went into the reboot loop.

It might be a hardware problem in some LG G3 phones.
It began rebooting and bootlooping after 2 days,that i had disabled the location services.
Now i'm thinking of getting a new battery but i don't really think it will do any effect..
So i might buy a new phone..

I had the same problem as you,i bought a new battery and everything got fixed.(you need exact the same Model of battery so when you go to a store note the model of the battery)
Temporary Fix
1- Remove the SIM, turn on the phone, put it in Airplane Mode.
2-Insert the SIM turn on the phone.(Don't change Air mode).
3- Turn off auto backup/restore in settings.
4-Go to network setting>Preferred network Type.
5-Turn Off the Airplane Mode and immediately SELECT THE 3G only(Before it catches the signals), in some phones WCDMA only.(Do not Select 4G/LTE/2G).
6-Done
7-Restart the phone.(Now it will not reboot)
Drawbacks:
In 2G signal zone, There will be no signals.
Its a hardware problem,But its a way to trick it.

Note 2 keeps restarting everytime!

Hi guys. A relative asked me if i can repair his note 2. I think his network was locked and the phone keeps restarting everytime. I flashed a new firmware on the phone. The one I use on mine..XXUFNG1, and also I went into recovery and clear data and cache after flashing. But still the phone keeps rebooting everytime. Why is that and how can I fix this?
Note : It's not bootloop or anything. You can switch on the phone, use it for like 5mins and then it freezes and restarts itself. And it goes on like that. Sometimes it doesn't restart also and you can use for more. But most of the time after 5mins, it restarts.

Everything stock..like I said! Before flashing to the newest rom too, everything was stock.
Was the phone dropped or exposed to moisture? Possible battery problem? Reboots even when connected to a charger?

Hi..thanks for reply. I tried another battery in it. The one I use myself. But it still restarts. I don't know if the phone was dropped or anything though. The relative just told me that it needs to be unlocked. Do you think it's software related? Or something is damaged in the phone?
Since it is running a stock ROM and still behaves this way after a factory reset, I think there is a hardware problem.
I might have a similar problem. I copy from another thread:
Hey guys,
I like this rom so far. But since 2 weeks I got an issue.
My phone randomly turns off, atleast I guess that's what happens. Sometimes the "notify" LED is on permanently but the display won't go on. To start the phone again I have to put out the battery and put it back in.
My battery is randomly empty pretty fast even if I just let the phone turned off. This happens like every 5 minutes.
I already bought a new battery but the problem hasn't changed.
What to do now? :>

I like the phone. It's over 5 years old and runs like the first day. Except it DOESN'T wake up anymore after a short time when the screen is off. I can press the power/home button as many times as I want and wait for 5 minutes, screen will still be off. Only way to "wake" it up again is to put the battery out and in again.
Currently I don't have enough money to buy a new phone and I can get a new motherboard for 25$. But I'm not sure if this will fix my problem.
I'm not even sure if this is the ROMs problem since it worked with all earlier versions of this rom perfectly and even the latest release worked for weeks/months.

As long as I leave the screen turned on the display/phone won't go off and I can use it as always. Even the battery don't drop drastically then.
It might be exposed to moisture tho. When I take a hot shower I'll leave it on the window sill and the room gets steamy.
ROM: [7.1.2 r24] LineageOS for N7100 [Unofficial] - Version from 08.10.2017
GAPPS: Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Aroma - 03.05.2017
Baseband: N7100XXUFND3
Ril and other stuff I don't know where to check.
Some years ago I had the SDS and the motherboard was changed without the EMMC bug.
Sometimes my phone only charges in slow mode too.
I try a clean install and newer pico gapps now. Maybe it will solve the problem. I'll reply then if it worked or not.
[EDIT]
Since my phone was low on battery I turned it off completly and put it on the charger. After an hour or so I wanted to look after it.
The green charging light stays on and if I want to turn the phone on nothing happens. The light stays on even after removing the charger.
Seems like a hardware, not a rom problem? Will changing the motherboard fix this?
[EDIT 2]
Quick update. I fully wiped/factory resetted and clean installed newest version of this ROM + newest mini pico GApps. Still the same problem. Gonna try it with another ROM/kernel now and if the problem persists it's a hardware fault.
[EDIT 3]
Fully wiped again and changed ROM+Kernel. Still the same problem.
