hey all ,
first of all i wanna say i just LOVE this great forum , i wish that every aspect
of life would have been taken care of as u do with the phone/ppc area , great
people and great support !! keep going !!
second ,
i am using the XDA EXEC for a month now (second hand device) which came
with 3 batteries and in 2 of them the device shuts in 40-50% batt left and
the 3rd battery shows allways 100% charge and shuts off after a day
instantly (no aggressive use done with the phone) , i am using uptime today
plugin to monitor batteries , anyone familiar with that stuff?
thanks in advance,
Shimi G.

Most likely the battery is damaged, take it back from where you bought it and tell them your problem. Make sure you have STOCK software or else they won't repair it for you.
Only return it for repairs if you have warranty, if not, i suggest you to buy another battery.
Damaged batteries may damage the phone .

I never really cared about the "let the device charge for ## hours before operating" - and I never had any issues with battery life.
Well ... ok ... the only problem I ever had was that the battery of my Eee PC 900 died after just ~1.5 years (Windows showing "Your battery needs to be replaced") but that's another story entirely.
It may have an impact on the battery on the LONG run, but the problem you observe with your battery have another root cause.
Like I already wrote in the thread of yours, and others also recommended ...
Cause most likely is ...
- Battery dead (or you got a faulty battery back after the repair)
- Loading circuitry of the motherboard (which got replaced) malfunctioning
- Possible problem in the way you charge the phone (already wrote to you in a PM how to check and rule that out)
Take my suggestions I PM'd to you, maybe report back how it worked out, and if there was no resolve flash back to the Walkman ROM and send that damn phone off to SE.
Hello ,
Last night I took off my battery and let it cool for awhile from overheat . After it's cold , I charged my device . While charging , my phone goes overheat again , but I just let it like that till it's full . I played my phone for awhile , and checked battery from setting and it goes like in the screenshot , it just showed Android OS .
1 - How can this happen ? And how to solve it ?
2 - Any suggestion / idea for saving battery life ? Mine its 8.6% per hour . Sad with the battery life right now .

Im using Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
When I used Internet via mobile data or wifi after few minutes automatically power will go off. If i make power ON then also system will not starts. But when i connected to charger it will starts again then the battery is showing low and continuing to charge. Is it an issue with battery or firmware issue ???

Check your battery, if the serial number starts with BD or it's swollen then it's faulty. If the serial number starts with BD samsung will replace it free of charge.

yeap. my battery start from BD serial. and check the battery 2day it is slightly bigger when it touching. seems like i hav to replace it. thing is its only happening when using the internet or internet relating apps, thatz y still i m bothering. tks for the help.
machan its probably ur battery ! it wont have the capacitance to hold the usage when it connects to 3g + it should be the exact serial number ..
To diagnose try connecting ur charger and then browse ! even i had this problem ! replace a good battery ! then ur good to go !! just purchase it from ebay !
and still if u didnt fix the issue !
more facts
go to recovery mode and do a full wipe factory data reset
keep ur phone in a cooler environment and let it work !
if that didnt fix ur problem then it might be a hardware fault (i dont exactly say )
im sure its the battery !
good luck

tks for the reply machan. i did the factory reset too. but still the issue is there.
as u said, i m going to change the battery and i understand your point. i ll order from the ebay too, can buy good one in lesser price than samsung arcade in here
tks again machan
sure thing man !! cheers thumbs up !!
@lahiru27 If you have a Samsung Centre in your city just take your phone with the swollen battery there and they will replace it free of charge.
There's no need to buy one off eBay etc.
Furthermore I wouldn't trust those batteries sold online unless it comes from the Samsung store. I got burnt buying a spare battery online and it was fake. It looked legit inalmost every way. I started to think the battery was fake when I noticed the battery life only about 75% of what my original battery.
Did some googling and found it to be fake. when copmparing against my original the eBay one was lighter, slighlty thinner and the Samsung in big wasn't as neat.

out of blue gotten this ota update N915GXXS1DPI2/N915GOLB1DPG1/N915GXXU1DPG3 , anyone updated ?
nice, any fixes? nightclock or fingerprint?
DPI1 brought back the priority callers panel (thank god) and allowed sending contact details as text instead of vcf. Both very useful.

The auto shut off is purely a battery issue. At least in my case. I bought a new one (not OEM) named "Signature". The battery looks dank with dark orange packing a velvety box. Since the past two days, ive been getting an SOT of at least 3.5 hrs as conpared to the waning OEM battery that barely gave me 1.5 hrs and used to do rouge reboots anywhere between 20-50% . For 430rs, i hope it lasts at least 6 months

Any feedbacks on the update with regards to battery life?
Ive been very wary of OTA updates since ppl have actually complined that theyve made their devices slower

a few mention that soft reboot is cause by the screen security mode ? which i didnt use since mine galaxy S days , i find it quite a waste of time to every time unlock whenever i want to use . by the way why nobody slam samsung to solve this ? now is a good time to wake them up .
