I was using s4 mini for more than a year.Now phone got a big problem.It shuts down when i take a pic with flash on.It happens only when battery is below 40%.Battery drops down to 15-20% sometimes 0% when restarts.I also did same thing with new battery but it was still happening.Is it a software issue as this thing happened in both stock and cm11 rom. Please somebody help me out urgently.I made a phone deal with my acquintances but he will never buy my phone in this buggy condition.I also tried factory reset several times but the same thing happens every time.
Please somebody find a way to solve this issue

Test with other battery. My guess is that your battery is damaged.

Almost every week i have this problem with the phone acting a bit weird. First the phone start slowing down or kind of frizzing, next i turn the phone off...and on again. Suddenly my battery goes from 50's charge to 7% and the phone message said i need to charge the battery. I would turn off the phone again...take the battery out for few 10 seconds or more, put it back and restart the phone? now the meter says i have about 25% charge...i plug it to the charger and wait until is 100% and then seems to work fine for another week until the same thing happen again! Now im on FD16 but this problem has been occurring since i bought the phone 6 months ago on stock, so i think is not flashing new modems or kernels. a bad battery ? Does anybody have any idea how troubleshoot this a little further or has experimented this phone behavior. Or should go back to stock and send this baby to Sprint to try to get a replacement?
I just got to the point that i cant deal with this anymore since i dont know when it is going to happen and may not have a charger at hand!
Please i need some suggestions !

Anybody that can help ???
I have the same issue, is not the battery i tried a few batts and still reboots, im gonna wait for the official ics update to see if is just a bug or a deffective phone.
The battery percentage always decreases dramatically everytime you reboot. Android just doesnt read correctly after rebooting.

The only time my battery would drastically drop after a reboot was when I rooted my phone wrong and it would reboot about 10 times a day and when it did I would lose a good 50% of the battery. Now if I reboot I lose 1-2% even if I flash a new rom. On to this guys issue I would say if it has been doing it since you bought it, it is likely a hardware issue with the phone. My old Evo used to do that. I just ended up selling it because I wasnt sure if it was a problem with the phone or just the fact that, that phone was slow as **** anyway!

Did you drop it in water?
In any case I think you're out of luck, and that's supported by the lack of responses.

Try removing the battery for 30 seconds then put it back in and see if that helps.
do what greyhd said if that does not work you are SOL.
Seems like the bug that plagues some S3 were the NAND flash just dies rendering the phone an expensive paper weight

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
I got this weird issue. I charge my phone awhile ago then unplugged it after it reached 100%. After a few minutes, i tried surfing the net and sending an email then the device suddenly turned off and restarts. It just keep on restarting after the samsung animation. I tried plugging the charger and it went on normally. But when i tried pulling the charger the issue comes on again and shut the device off again and restarts. I flashed DN3 rom few days ago. is it the battery (i hope not) or a software or ROM issue?

Well surely common sense should dictate to try another rom or two, If issue remains you know its a hardware problem.
By bet would be on battery.
Sounds like a dud battery to me
same problem ! have you found a solution ?

and now this happened to my phone. any solution to fix this? buy a new battery or because other hardware?
I've had the same problem. Phone worked when fully charged and not used intesively.
If I turned a game or app, it restarded with a few % of the battery.
Place your battery on flat surface and see if it's bulky.
I had the same problem before. In my case it was because of the battery so I had to replace it. Works fines now. Using DN4 btw.
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.
