[Q]Battery problems - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

This started after flashing beanstalk ROM. My phone will only charge when off. Also when my phone is not plugged in my charging LED stays on and the charging symbol stays on my battery icon. Tried clearing cache, and set permissions, used a different battery, also reflashed back to the cm10.1 WILD FOR THE NIGHT ROM and it is still doing it.. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Check inside your charging port. Sounds like a crossed/shorted pin. Usr a flashlight. Helps a ton.

Okay I'll check, I think your right because I even flashed back to stock 4.0.4 and its still doing it there for its obviously a hardware issue. Thanks

[Q] Problem: Defy @ CM 7 Turning Off

Hi!
I have a green-lensed Defy that has been running CM7 for something like 7 months.
Last weekend it started turning off for no reason.
Since I dropped some beer over it (not too much, though, and everything was "closed") i thought could be that. so, i left it with rice for 4 days, and tried turning it on again.
Well, what happens is that if is NOT charging, it keeps turning of. I've wiped dvorak/cache and i think it made it last longer.
I've set catlog do save the log but couldn't find anything useful associated to the shutdowns.
And I've noticed that the battery drops about ~10-20% when shuts.
What can it be? How to fix that?
first of all clean the USB/charger port and the battery terminals, if the problem still persists then reflash cm7.

Dark screen?

I wiped my battery stats and turned the phone off, charged to 100%. Then I let it die, I charged it again at work and when I turned it on the screen was too dark to see. It almost looked like a negative version of it. I rebooted a few times and the Google image was fine and the boot image was fine. It ways just the screen. Anyone know what could have done this?

Wifi loop on ics

I havnt been able to connect to wifi the past few weeks i thought it was just my home wifi but it doesnt work at public wifi hotspots and tethering has stoped working aswell. The phone connects then authenticates the acquires an ip then loops back to the original non connected state. Is this like damaged hardware or is it an OS issue possibly an app screwin it up. Ive seen other people with this problem but no anwsers. I'm running stock everything.

you can lose your wifi simply by holding the left side while its sideways and if your holding the top as you type on it. I just simply cant connect to wifi anymore im on stock rooted rom i might try a full wipe with a new rom/kernel

cant power on with charger plugged in

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this or hard about it happening and can tell me why it's doing it and/or how to fix this issue. basically when my phone is turned off and charging if i try to power it on ill feel a quick vibrate and then instead of turning on it just displays the battery charging icon again. it will do that every time until i physically unplug the charger from the phone and then when i press the power button it starts turning on as it normally should.after that i can either plug the charger back in and let it continue to charge or i can just leave it unplugged. if anyone has any info on this irritating issue it would be a great help . thanks

Are you using a custom rom? I think this was an issue with one of em (freegs3 maybe) and the dev hadn't been able to fix it yet. Its been a bit though so I could be wrong on that one.
If you are on a custom rom, search that thread or ask there as well and youll prob get a quicker/better response.

I've had this happen a few times before. I am running stock rom with trinity kernel. it's pretty weird
sorry I forgot to mention what I was running. this should explain it best.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup. FreeGS3. I saw a few people mention this a while back. Dev knows about it and said he will look into it. Haven't seen much about this since but I could have easily overlooked it. Search through that thread for any other info.

Phone charging issues

Hello, I have a weird issue going on with my s3. My phone discharges like crazy when my data is on, and by that I mean it even discharged when connected to a charger. Also the phone only charges when connected to usb, and does not charge when connected to wall charger, even tho it shows the phone is charging but the battery percentage stays static. I have tried changing batteries, chargers everything. I also changed roms, formatted the whole thing, reinstalled and still the issue remains. Is there anything I can do? Please help.
Thank you.

Seems like you have something running in the background when you data is enabled. Perhaps a app using GPS and data.
I'd download BBS (BetterBatteryStats) to narrow down the issue. Also, when you go under settings->battery, anything suspiciously high?
I have looked at battery usage abs android system is always usually high. Here is the screenshot.

Download BBS (you can find it on xda). Charge your battery to full and post the results once your battery is down to like 50-60%.
Android system can be a lot of things, seems you have awful signal though. That could be it, have you tried flashing another modem?
Actually I'm not on my hometown, this the signal is bad...otherwise usually u have good signal. Anyway I'll install bbs and get back with more data. Thanks for replies.

Here are the better battery stats screenshots, a process called "AudioOut_2" is keeping the phone awake. I don't know what this process is or what it does. Can anybody help me to get rid of this issue? Thank you.

Do you have touch keys (tone) on? If so, turn that off.
Anything that makes your phone make sound from the rear speaker triggers AudioOut_2.
Ok I will try disabling touch sounds...but I have always had touch sounds on abd never had any issue, I dnt know what changed suddenly.
Thank you tho.
