It doesn't seem to matter what rom I'm on my phone randomly just shuts down about five times a day. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks!

What roms have you tried and what are you using now? You did a clean installation right? Factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache?
What did you do before this happened?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes I always do a clean install system wipe, factory reset, clear cache etc. I've used about every Rom I think... the only one I can remember not having this issue was darthstalker x1. Right now I'm on stockaroma version 2 and it happens all the time. I even odined back to stock and reflashed and it still happens. I like multi window a lot so I hate to go backwards.

Have you tried to Odin back to stock and NOT flash a Rom?
If not, give it a shot and let us know.
Also, it could be your battery has finally given its last. If you don't know someone with an s3 go to a T-Mobile store and they should have one you can test with.

Now that I think of it, I'd get the battery checked before flashing anything else.

Yes when I was on stock it actually shut down during the first boot. I did notice that after flashing cyanogenmod 10.1 I charged it all night and it was at 100% charge but as soon as I unplugged it then it instantly dropped to like 10% that only happened once though. I guess maybe my battery it's jacked...

Are they able to check batteries at T-Mobile? I'd hate to buy a new one they're pricy if that's the case I might as well pick up a gs4.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
They should have a known good one you can try. Plug it in and see if the reboots quit. No idea if they'd let you borrow it for a day, but I don't see why not.
If it dropped that quick though, I'm pretty confident that it's related.

it could also be that you need to clear the battery stats, my brother in law has had that issue many times after flashing CM on several different devices, but it could still be a jacked battery, am a licensed electrician and i can tell you while it does happen often for me because we buy so many products (obviously) that we get bad items directly from the manufacturer.
How can I clear the battery stats? I used to do this all the time under advance in clockwork recovery but I don't see it there on this phone. Thanks!

dont worry it should, if not i know its been a year but tmo should replace it under faulty equipment, i have had phones replaced for faulty equip. two and three years later, dont forget to go back to stock and reset binary and flash counter.

So the battery didn't help at all. Just for fun I flashed darthstalker X1 again and it seems to be working fine now. Weird... I'll try to get to the bottom of this but I'm boggled.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
One more thing it was doing was when I'd turn the screen off it would always come back on. It would do that two or the times before it would stay off then half the time the phone crashed. It's not doing that now either and I had that trouble on several different roms.

Try in CWM
I wonder if you get a charging at all when the power is off? also what does it say if you are in CMW when you look it up? If that doesnt work maybe try resetting the statistics I dont think that will do anything but it might reset something we dont know that is happening in that smart battery.
Yes I'm rooted I have the latest cwm. I'm starting to wonder if its my kernal. I'm running the samuri kernal which is up to date. Eh mabey my epic just hates extended batterys. I haven't had a chance to check it threw cwm ill give that a try when I get off work in a few hours.

Put in the battery fully charged and boot directly into CWM and go to advanced and clear battery stats.
Well I tried clearing the battery stats and still nothing. It just discharges. I look in the about phone status and it says not charging. So I guess ill just try something else. Could it be the kernal mabey the samuri kernal does not support third party batteries.

That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Hey Everyone,
I've had this weird bug on my Samsung Epic 4g Touch.
What happens is when im using my phone the screen will suddenly start to flicker and then id lose my service and then my phone would just shut down. After it shuts down if I try to reboot it, it will reboot and then it will shut down again almost immediately after using it. This bug isnt action specific and occurs at really strange times, I can get it to stop by waiting about 20 minutes or plugging it into a charger.H owever this ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IM RUNNING ON BATTERY it will not happen when im plugged into a charger. I know this isnt ROM specific because it has happened on multiple roms :/. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Info:
Samsung Epic 4g Touch
Current Rom: AOKP Milestone 6 no overclock
I'd replace the battery and/or check the phone without sd card.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Do you use battery monitor widget or use a battery besides the stock battery? I had this problem. I use three batteries all with different mah and I would use battery monitor widget to calibrate them. Once I have all my profiles set up by entering each batteries supposedly mah I would have this same problem. I was finally able to fix it a few days ago (after a few months of torture) by using the estimated value on the calibration screen in battery monitor widget. For some reason the app would estimate my batteries at a higher level or lower level than the battery claims. Hope that helps in any way..

Change the processor to conservation, and tell her to turn off mobile data when not in use.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
It is probably time to get yourself the SGS2's 1800mah battery. It fits in our original case, snug, but fits.
Before getting the battery, odin back to FC09, boot up and synch PRL and profile. Then odin CWM and flash the current AOKP build for Jelly Bean. Only restore SMS and/or call log from backups if you must. Doing those steps will ensure you have a clean install and anything affecting your battery will either be a rogue application or the battery itself.
Gotta be careful with the Gs2 battery. The Tmobile version doesn't fit our phone. I would play it safe and get the epic touch battery.

My Galaxy Note 2 just started acting very strange recently.
When I try turning it on, it shows a battery with a circle in the middle then turns off and keeps trying to turn back on showing the battery with the circle. I'm assuming this is low battery but its not because just a few minutes earlier it was working and had 85% battery.
I can use Vol+home and get into twrp recovery without a problem and it shows 85% battery but I don't want to reset my phone right now? Does anyone know of a solution?
Also strangely yesterday I was having trouble trying to get it to charge it took a couple of attempts at inserting the charger for it to work.
I have a SGH-I317M running Cleanrom if that matters...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to turn it on without battery? Just pull it out then connect the mobile to a charger (or PC). If it will open up, then suspect from your battery. Otherwise, might be something different causing this. (Because battery or electricity malfunctions screwing electronic devices and set them to act bizarre, I saw that before)
I just tried that and no response whatsoever are you sure it can turn on even without the battery and just from an outlet?
I had the same problem with my Galaxy S2. I had 3 batteries and have bought 2 more....all 5 do the same thing. USB OTG stopped working at the same time, though it still connects to a PC. Also my yellow triangle disappeared at the same time when the metal connectors seperated from a USB cable and got stuck in the port. I suspect that it fried something.
I tried different ROMs before I gave up last week and bought a GN2 instead.
