Hi,
my Artemis turns off every now and then and I'm getting a bit pissed off by the phone. Because it happens exspecially when I'm talking to someone. The error occurred first about two weeks ago and i tried to fix wit an hard reset, but that didn't worked out. I also don't think it has anything to do with the battery, since it also turns off while being connected to the charger.
If anyone knows help, I would be grateful.
i had the same problem and the solution is ......
a new battery
My XDA Orbit is doing the same thing - randomly switching off when in use (either phone call or browsing the web). Its being doing this for over the last two to three weeks and I, too, am getting pissed off with it. My Orbit is over two years old so I'm suspecting the battery although the battery meter states everything is OK. I've just purchase a new battery on-line and, when I receive, I'll let you know if it cures the resetting issue.
Alistair
thanx, that is at least a problem with an easy solution.
@ ajmcfarlane: thx, I'll wait for your post.
Received battery on Saturday and early indications look as though it has cured the problem of the phone resetting. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted.
Cheers, Alistair
great, I'll order a battery right away
i also got same problem in my p3300 so did changing battry really solvd problms?
It will cure it.
awesome.. i think most of us have purchase this amazing handset more or less the same time..
all of our devices loosing out on batt.... no bad..
can any one please update the price of a new battery ?
i am in india now.. will be going to singapore this month end to watch the formula 1.. are there any options to buy it in singapore to save some money on it ??
how much is the new batt ??
I have over 200 of these devices in their various guises, and I can tell you that this is a very common problem. If you are lucky you only need change the battery and the device will be fine. If that does not improve matters then good luck as I am yet to find a solution when the problem is not simply the battery. At the moment my best effort is to flash the device with an upto date original ROM and change the battery. It seems to help but I can't say it fixes them as I have not monitored how the reflashed devices perform yet. I will post when I have used the reflashed devices for a few months and see how they go on

Hi radcarash,
do you have any findings? I got the same issue with one Artemis, and it seams the battery change doesn't help at all. I'm just wondering if you found already another solution to cure this world wide problem.
cheers,

How is that even possible?
I have attached 2 screnshoot of a Galaxy Nexus battery drain.
My phone is 100% stock, I just restored the nexus official image. The battery should be new, I already sent the phone to the manufacter last month and I think they changed the battery.
I didn't even setup a google account, no app installed, wifi off and there is good signal.
There are no wakelocks. Screen was off all the time. The battery just go down.
(Some translation. Segnale rete mobile = mobile network signal, Attivo = active, Schermo Acceso = Screen on)
What should I do? Call samsung again and stay another month without my phone? Is there any other solution?
Well, for starters you could let it charge for another cycle or two to be sure about.Also I see the Network reception is not so good.That may be responsible for the drain, though I highly doubt it !

Yes, I'm trying to do some complete charge/discharge.
I have similar result in Airplane mode, network reception is not the problem.
Thanks for the answer. :good:
Anyone else with some advices?
No one?
I don't want to spend another month without my phone because of RMA :crying:

I have the *exact* problem (or at least, similar).
I have RMA'ed my phone 2 times, teling me they had done a "mechanical repair" (in Italian, as per repair center label, "riparazione meccanica").
Don't ask me about the meaning of this. It could be everything, but one thing is certain: serial number of the phone is the same, so they did not change the motherboard at all.
Back to topic, I'm experiencing serious issues:
1) huge battery drain in airplane mode, even after complete stock and several ROMs (the service center restored 4.0.4 on it, funny)
How did I test: the day I received back my phone, I have simply fully charged it, switched to airplane mode overnight and I have lost more than 30% battery with NOTHING at all installed, I even left the wrong date/time !!
2) before RMA'ing it, it did not matter if I used 3G / WiFi or nothing at all: I always got a similar battery discharge curve.
BUT today I noticed something odd:
while testing for the (1) issue above, I noticed that the "Awake" (aka "Attivo") bar under the battery graph was pretty full blue colored, which is NOT normal actually. How can it be after a full wipe (or so, as per after sale service) ????
Let's try to troubleshoot this problem guys, because I'm really fed up
...and I don't want to sell this Nexus, I simply love it hehe
TODO:
1) Wipe and test again -> charging the phone right now
2) analyze dmseg (maybe there is an hardware issue that keeps interrupting the CPU) -> after a quick look it seems that actually my interrupt idea could be true ( "Resume caused by IRQ 39, TWL6030-PIH". This is the power management unit) but I have to see during the airplane mode test, not while charging (that might be correct)
3) measure the current and compare results against a nice study of another guy (that reported power consumption on different scenarios)
4) ??

The same. They changed the battery in my case. I did a mark with a marker pen on the battery before sending it and the mark is not there after RMA, so they changed it. Phone serial is the same.
They also put 4.04 on my nexus, what a shame!
I did not experienced the "active" thing on the battery statistics. I had several wakelock from "RILJ" but after a full restore the disappeared.
I restored (again) the phone with nexus image, and even locked the bootloader, removed the sim card and disabled wifi, gps and everything. It always discharge by itself in a too short period of time.
Is there something I can tell to RMA to make them change my phone? I don't think it's a software problem.

I agree, this must be an hardware problem.
To say, I have tried a long list of ROMs and kernels, as well as updating radio and all other sort of stuff.
Now the awake "problem" has gone, so today I'm gonna retry the (1)st experiment.
Let's see...
In any case tomorrow I'm going to go to the shop and ask them if they could be so gentle lending me a fresh battery to test out.
Some clues here?

I don't know if it might be related or not, did you ever use tethering?
Pernsonally speaking, yes I did.
Today I try to wipe radio and flash another one...

No, I never used tethering.
My phone is at RMA again, I asked to fix it FOR REAL, I'm just hoping.
I've had a similar experience since first getting the phone. While with light usage, I used to get anywhere between 16 hours to a full day of battery life, I'll only get between 4 and 6 hours of screen-on time. Whether full stock or ROMs, it's always been the same. I've eventually just chalked it up to hardware being the issue and made sure to always have a spare battery and charger with me at all times.
I got my phone back.
They said that they changed the motherboard. On the package the note is "sostituzione board unit".
In the next few days I am gonna do some test to see if they really solved the problem, I really hope so.

Nice to hear
Today I was suprised of my phone's duration (still no serviced again): more than 1 day (of course without doing much) and only 10% drain during the night.
I don't know what happened BUT i can say also that I'm experiencing now a problem with the network (GSM, 3G): the network crashes sometime also while calling or while idling.
Today it did not crash in a > 10min call, so let's see also the battery drain during this night
...because strange stuff happens!
try update to the latest new radio.. flash radio.img
galaxy nexus i9250
I think that the problem is solved.
It was a hardware problem.
I'm on CM10.2stable now.
Latest radio and bootloader.
Now my phone last enough .
I called Samsung a lot of times to urge them to fix my phone.
EDIT: I'm now on 20h20m on battery with 3h23m screen on and 4% left. Goood

Hi guys, I really need the power of the internet now. My googling powers have let me down, and now there's only you guys left to help me!!
I got a Lg g3, and i've enjoyed it for a while. I have experiemented a little with it (rooting and installing roms) and it's about 2 years old i think.
And now, the wierdest problem that I really can't understand, i'll try to explain as good as i can!
It all started a couple of days ago, my phone just rebooted as soon as I started up Snapchat. After a day, this reboot appeared more frequently, and yesterday I gave up. The thing is, as long as it's charging, it works fine, all of the programs. But when I woke up this morning, it's completely ruined.... i see the LG startup screen, and then the lock screen. As soon as i touch the screen, it restarts again!
I've tried factory reset and wiping data and stuff.... If any more information is required, i'll provide it as soon as possible!
I believe in you guys, help me out!
I thought about overheating, but since it works while charging, i ruled that out, right?

So, your phone its ok while on charging right?
Guess it's time to buy a new battery...
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
u sure it's the battery? cause it works a bit better right now. How can i check if it's the battery that's the flaw? it's so wierd that it just got more and more random reboots....
That sounds like the battery as it was the expect problem I had 6 months ago with a battery that was about the same age as yours. I found that my battery had started to swell, very big problem with lithium batteries when they go bad. If you take your battery out and look at it side on there should be no bulging anywhere on the battery, if you see any bulging then stop using it until you can get a replacement.
At the time my phone would work fine when plugged in but would constantly reboot when on battery power.
It seems like that's not the problem, right now it's working fine. I checked the battery and no swellings at all! Could there be any other reason for my phone to act out the way it did/does sometime still?
Did the rebooting start at a particular battery level? Reason I ask is that my spare battery is now showing the same symptoms, but only when lower than 55%, phone will reboot and immediately be at 15%. I pulled the battery out and could feel slight raises along it, not enough to see but I could feel it when compared to my other battery.

Dear Taynor, Try flashing stock firmware of your device. If you suspect your device battery, then first replace it and check whether rebooting issue is still there. Otherwise, flashing stock firmware resolve many issues. Use kdz with LG Flash tool 2014. It is easy to flash firmwares with LG Flash Tool 2014.
Dear XDA-overlords,
the last time I askeed your help was during my odyssey with the HTC HD2 and I recveived great help.
So once again - I reuiere your knowledg sine I don*t know much about the LG G3.
My smartphone: LG G3 D851
ROM: CandySiX-d85x
The issue: the sim-card reader is most def. dead. So I took the liberty to remove the tiny metal-plate to take a closer look at the pins for the sim-card-reader. (One pin was broken, guess thats at fault). But the main-story unfolds just at this moment. Ever since I did that, my smartphone stopped booting properly.
I can flash every rom, it works just fine at th e first-start. But if I restart the phone, it's more or less a gamble if the phone will start up properly or end up in a blackscreen after the LG logo. If the phone starts (in like 2 out of 10 attempts) it works perfectly fine. My only hope is, that the battery is at fault since I bought the phone used and that damned thing dischargers in less than 2 hours from 100 to 0%,
So, does anyone have the slightes idear whats wrong with the phone? Everything worked perfectly up to yesterday. Ever since, everything has gone to ****s.
Best regards,
Zakkusu
bump!

What do you mean by "bump" ?
Bumping is simply put to put the thread at the top again. Most forums allow that once a day (24 hours)
At least I'm not the only one with this issue. Perhaps there is a solution to this already. My new battery will arrive tomorrow, I dearly hope, that this is the source of the problem.

No, not at all. Must be some kind of software issue. I simply lack the insider knowledge to get this done. Sucks, that nobody else was able to help in any way

As tradition demands, i must start by saying: sry for bad english, will do my best...
I have this great tab since 2014, helped me a lot in my college and a little after. It had seen little use in the last years, i had installed a custom room a while ago (dont remember wich one)
Last year i used it a little mainly as a second screen for my PC, but after a while i started seeing screen flickering problems and restarting loops, now it restarts at the samsung logo screen
Today i tried to bring it back to life with no sucess, so decided to post it here.
Vídeo of the problem i have
i was thinking about a problem with the screen, but it makes no sense, since i have no flickering on the warning screen or recovery screen
Video of the Warning screen and recovery mode screen without flickering, even if i wait a long time i see no flickering or restart.
I decided to flash the original rom using ODIN, it was a sucessful procedure, here is the video of the tablet screen during procedure, but when it completed it restarted with the same problem
I have never opened it, never changes screen or battery. I think it could be something to do with the program for using the tablet as second screen for PC, but not sure.
Any sugestion about what to do? any hope?
I apreciate any help, since i cant buy a new tablet and would be a shame for it to become tech junk.
@kubnivel does it have the same problem when fully loaded or connected to the charger?
I think my T325 was flickering as well before I changed the battery.
That is a very easy process to do.
Now it's running perfectly well on LOS18.1.
@bmwdroid Thx for the reply. I had already tested with the tablet conected to the charger, but not on 100% charge, so i left it charging overnight and turned it on this morning while it was still connected, it finnaly made it past the samsung logo screen, but i was in hurry and couldn´t test it any longer. Gonna try it tomorrow and post it here.
Working with a 100% charge while connected to the charger is a sign that it may be a problem with the battery?

Indeed.
Would be a sign for changing the battery for me.
The low price for a replacement is worth a try imo.

Well, that isn't to hard to do.
You either need a Windows PC Odin or Linux with Heimdall (which I think works on Mac as well).
Here is the link to the Q ROM by @Valera1978 which imho is the best ever published for our devices.
The procedure was described for S4 brilliantly by @Retrial here.
If you need further help just send me a PM.
Although you gotta find first, if you will have to update the bootloader first.
My T325 came from 5.0.2 had it wasn't neccessary but for 4.4 idk.
