I have the T8585 HD2, recently ive been having troubles with the battery...
I was getting intermittent battery drain for no apparent reason, the back of the phone would get very hot. Searching I found that this had something to do with the SD card not being formatted properly, did this and havent had this same issue since.
Last night I charged the phone while on my PC, was approximately 80%. I wake up this morning and the phone is dead, wont turn on. So i plug it in to charge again and then it starts to do the soft reset loop thing, I just left it go for about 6 or 7 loops and then it seemed to settle. I look at the battery capacity and its 0%.
This explains why it was dead, but why the hell is the battery draining to nothing over night? I did not notice it getting hot last night and it was dead cold this morning. Battery terminals are not bent as some others have suggested as a cause for this.
I really like the HD2 but this battery thing on top of the poor capacity for the this type of phone is really starting to disappoint.
I have not messed with ROMs yet, so its running the following that i got with the phone...
ROM 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE
Radio 2.06.51.07
Any ideas on this would be helpful!!
Same phone, same software
I have exactly same phone & software, I upgraded rom to this 1. But have had no problems with phone at all. Few soft resets at 1st, but then started deleteing messages, shutting down programs in background, no problems since. Hope you get figured out,,
I'm having the exact same problem. I've had the phone since November and, although the battery doesn't last like it used to, since about 2 days ago the phone has gone haywire!
I haven't installed any new apps or used the phone any differently than usual but, after getting readings of between 15 - 20mA in standby (with Battery Guard) I'm getting on average 490mA now in standby! Crazy! The back of the phone is getting so hot that I'm actually worried that it might do the phone damage and, like the OP, I'll go to bed with a full charge and wake up with the phone so dead that I have to pull the battery before I can start to recharge.
I've removed some of the PDF files and other things that might be causing slowdown etc due to but there is definitely a problem. Does anyone have any ideas of what kind of things I should look for that could be causing this before I contact the insurance guys for a replacement?
Thanks in advance
Im having a similar problem with my HTC raphael with WiMo 6.5 Roms didnt tried if the problem exists in 6.1.
My phone is fine today, was 100% last night, 95% this morning. Im starting to think this is a software issue not hardware due to the randomness....

funny you put it this way.... its actually the other way around.... nevertheless i understand what u mean (off-topic, just couldn't resist ;-) )
when the power usage jumps from 20ma to 490ma and gets very hot the battery has started to fail - don't be surprised their qualty is hit or miss. I'm on the T8585 HD2 (1.66 rom) since November and a few weeks ago the battery would get hot in standby and battery life dropped by half. I popped in a spare battery and problem instantly went away. I've since bought a 1,300 mha battery from Mugen, phone runs great again.
Hi. Had a similar thing with the battery drain, but the last few night I have put the phone on charge as normal and in the morning I have Nealy dropped the phone because of how hot the back was. Any ideas?
Happened again today, fully charged last night, 0% this morning. Very unhappy about this, this is a serious reliability issue that a $700 phone shouldn't have.
I would suggest checking your task managers processes, I had a process - Filesys.exe that was using 98% of my processor for long periods of time and absolutely eating battery life.
Yeah i have installed battlog to see if that will shed any light on the problem...
Did u try hard-resetting ur device?
no, im trying to avoid that at this stage, I want to find the source of the problem.
Had the same issue. Phone worked very well for a few months and then this battery drain + overheating issue started all of a sudden. Tried hard reset, disabled 3g and problem continued. Finally, got my phone replaced with great difficulty and problem solved!
Anyway, check the signal strength. One of the issues could be the phone trying to connect repeatedly when the signal is weak. You can also try to disable data connections to see if that causes the problem (Disable all autoupdates like email, twitter, weather and so on).
When my phone is sitting idle (screen off) it will randomly decide to power itself off. Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on what could be causing it?

you mean randomly power itself ON, right?
if that is the case, it's normal, it just mean it woke up to connect to the internet, to get updates of news, emails, or whatever it was scheduled to pick up
nope. i mean it randomly turns itself off. this topic is being discussed over on the att captivate galaxy forum section.
interesting, so it's going from stanby mode, to complete OFF... nope never seen that happen to my i9000 model
yep totally powered off... completely sucks... looks like there are a bunch of ppl that have this issue with the captivate on att. $10 says its some lame piece of software that att puts on your phone that's causing the problem.
it's possible, i've read here a few users having crazy power issues (battery draining very fast) with their SGS i9000, but after wiping it out clean, to start anew, then the power problem is gone away.
so yes, a software could cause something weird like that.
Factory reset and so far so good
Hey guys,
I use a Galaxy S here in Hong Kong and I had the same random shut down issue constantly happen when my screen went off...
I tried everything, check temperature of cpu, etc. etc. and nothing worked, it just got worse and worse.
I even changed the battery to use the spare one that came with this. Still problematic.
Used SET CPU to limit the cpu to 400mhz, still problems.
Finally I did a factory reset and so far so good.
I only have the original system installed with the Remember the Milk app installed.
24 hours, no problems.
Installed AppBrain app.
Then I installed 3G WatchDog
12 hours, no problem.
Then I installed Paperdroid
12 hours, so far no problems at all.
If I run into an issue I'll post it here. But I think it definitely was a software issue.
Update - it randomly shut down on me
Alright guys, it shut down on my randomly today in the afternoon......
I dont know if it's the re-charging that screwed it up?
Because after my factory reset, last night was the first time i charged it....
Hmmm
This happened to me too - two days in a row until noon it would shut down two or three times - i uninstalled SetCpu and for now (24 hours) it hasn't happened again. I am not sure if it was the one responsible but it started happening after i installed two programs and i uninstalled them after it started happening. I uninstalled Visual Task Switcher first but on the next day it turned off again, then i unsinstalled SetCpu and it hasn't happened again - maybe some wrong profile settings but i didn't feel like experimenting
I had this issue once too in about 40 days.
I was reading an sms and then i turned into standby and put it in my pocket. Later, maybe 40 minutes i came home and my phone was completely off. I do not remember if i had to take out the battery before to get it on again.
I was wondering why it happened. Maybe it was caused by an app i had opened. Battery still was at 40%.
But since it only occured once in 40 days i doesn´t bother me.
Interesting you mention this as it just happened to me today for the first time. I took it out of my pocket and wtf? The phone was off. Very strange... Using the i9000 on the stock Eclair rom.
Should send back for warranty
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
software clash?
Well the phone suddenly switched off for me, but this time I turned off APPBRAIN and so far so good.
In fact, I came across an app called NoLED and since it kind of keeps ht phone on, while I have it on my desk, I'm able to be notified of stuff and so far with that, the phone hasnt' shut off.
I'm still experimenting with what works, but try turning off AppBrain and see if you still have the random shut off issue....
i use app brain all the time to keep my apps in sync
not the cause of the problem, that's for sure
my phone can last a whole day even with app brain running
OP, do you have MSN Talk installed on your phone? I have this same problem, seems to happen more when I am running MSN talk in a low signal area.
«try a new sim card. «Could be faulty. «i am on my 3rd phone and all of them had this same problem. «i bought a new sim card 4 days ago, and hasnt happened since. «but then again, this problem usually happens to me once every 3rd-5th day anyways, so i dont know if i am in the clear yet.
Me too, shutdown everyday
Hi guys
After upgrade OS to I9000ZSJG4, Phone random shutdown everyday.
Yep still shuts down
Tried keeping AppBrain off, still shuts down.
Used NoLED so the screen kind of stays on, still shuts off..
So far shut off on me after 40 hrs... this is really stupid.
I am this close to taking it back, but I genuinely think it's a software issue than a hardware issue...sigh
Anyone have any luck figuring this out?
Same problem no solution yet
Hi
I too have the same problem, haven't found any solution yet.
The temperature etc is all good, there is no pattern in shutdown issues.
I have tried factory reset and no new application, it still shut down while using in built browser.
I had the same thing happen to me while skiing in Whistler last weekend. It died twice. I attributed it to the cold. I normally use a 3000mah battery up there, but left it back the house that day. Afterwards while charging in the car and even charging it at home it died prematurely again. It was the eBay aftermarket variety 1500mah knock off. I have since changed back to the Samsung OEM battery. I haven't had an issue with it since. My assumption is that the knock offs in my case cannot handle the heat cycles of charging and then the cold as well as the original. Or they have a limited lifespan, well below OEM specs. I am now only using the 3000mah battery on the weekends to hedge my bet on the quality of manufacture, as it seems to be from the same factory as the 1500.
Hi. I was using my phone and I put it down because I wanted to play Skyrim on my computer. After about 30 minutes, I checked on my phone and noticed that it wouldn't turn on. THe battery was at around half when I put it down but I don't think it's a dead battery because the phone won't even charge. I tried taking the battery out but to no avail as well.
I recently installed Temasek's CM12 nightly on it but everything was running smoothly (less buggy than the official CM12) so I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and I have the Sprint variant.
Edit: I just tried turning on the phone again and it worked... Im not sure what happened.
I was previously running andybones' rom from 2.41.605.12 base, then found my way to resurrection remix, great rom, but some update last month killed my battery life and my ability to quick charge, phone was also in constant awake state, but I do not believe the issue was ROM specific. Either way, ran a battery stats report and it appeared that my motion sensors were keeping the phone awake. I completely wiped everything and RUU'd back to 1.19.605.9 (launch firmware), battery drain went away, rapid charging came back, phone would sleep. Performed some OTA updates and everything was fine until it got to the final version of MM 1.85.605.9, rapid charging gone, battery drain back, updated all the way through nougat and nothing changed, still draining.
I am currently back on 1.19.605.9, rooted, twrp installed. Rapid charge and no excessive drain.
What could possibly be causing this? Is anyone else dealing with this?
Here is my post with my last battery stats log
I'm currently dealing with the same thing.
Update: Ran an RUU of 2.41.605.36, then did a full wipe and installed santod40's [ROM][STOCK] 2.41.605.36, chose full wipe, unencrypted install, did some debloating of vzw software... and somehow, I have rapid charging and no wakelock drains...
I have ruu'd before and never resolved the issue. I am not sure what changed in the last RUU for me, but it worked.
...and it's back... lol

So I can't see the full log on my phone, but my phone is having a similar issue. I'm wondering if it's the same as yours. Under partial Wake Locks for BetterBatteryStats it shows NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock runs ALL of the time so my phone never goes into a deep sleep.

To be honest, I didn't even bother getting too deep in to it this time, I ruu'd back to an mm version that I know I don't have this trouble on. 1.85.605.8, and then used santod's debloated 1.85.605.9 after wiping and formatting data. The first time I had the issue, it appeared to be the accelerometer that wasn't allowing the phone to go to sleep... When I looked at the battery stats this time, it didn't seem to be my issue.
If you're s-off, you can downgrade. As much as I would appreciate certain features of nougat, it's not worth it if I have to be attached to a charger all day.
Not sure if it's an issue that carries over with my Google backup, next time I try, I might just do a fresh start and install apps one by one to see if/when it starts.
Howdy, first time post here.
For some reason, my Galaxy Core Prime's battery has started draining rapidly even without using it very much. By mid-day it is beeping that it is almost out and wants a recharge.
This is with no apps running that I have launched.
I've tried stopping various apps, have clicked to stop them, etc, uninstalled a few new apps, but the problem continues.
This morning I noticed that the screen kept coming on. I would turn it off, place it down on my nightstand and it would immediately pop back on. Not sure if this is all related or not.
I'm leaving Saturday morning for a week of testing at Mayo Clinic and would like to have the phone with me in the various waiting rooms -- without running the battery done.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what caused this to suddenly begin happening over the past week or so?
Thanks,
Chuck

Hey there Chuck!
Try reciting the phone in safe mode first to confirm that the battery drain is because of apps and boy the battery itself, alot of members had battery issues(me included).
If there is no battery drain in safe mode, then it is some app(s) that went rogue.
If there is battery drain then it may be due to battery itself.
Thanks!
Have you tried this yet?

Hi. I know this is an older post but wanted to respond in case someone may have similar issues. If your screen keeps coming on than it could be caused from spyware installed on your phone or from apps that were downloaded. First, I would check device administrator to see if there is anything unusual or that you don't recognize that's checked off. If there is than try a factory reset if you can't remove the application causing the problems. Also there are apps that you can download to fix it repair low or bad cells, and calibrate (reset battery stats). Make sure to charge the phone to 100% before doing repair and calibrate. Restart the phone when finished. Most of the time that will fix the problems but if not than you may need to purchase a new battery which is pretty cheap on eBay.
