My nook color has recently started shutting down at around 30% battery. I was running on a nightly of cyanogenmod7 from around June, and just updated to the new stable 7.1. I ran that battery calibration app after installing the new rom.
Still does it.
This is what happened just now:
I start it up (holding the power button for a few seconds), and it boots.
It gets to the main screen, starts loading some widgets, then reboots.
It gets to the main screen again, but shuts down even faster and does not reboot.
It will not power on at all.
Almost sounds like the battery is fubar, but for some reason android is not seeing it as being dead.
Even after being plugged in it still reboots a couple times, until it get above 31 or 32%.
Anyway, I'm not sure what all anyone would want to know about what I have installed, so if anyone could throw out some ideas that would be great.
Have you tried clearing battery stats?

I will have to wait till I am at 100% before doing that, correct?

I urge everyone to just do this simple test and report back you may have this issue and not even know it.
Hey everyone at xda, currently i have come across an issue that some of you may have without even knowing it. I realized when i was using tweakr I pulled my battery, but when i put it in i never pressed any buttons,the phone was off battery back in no buttons press and it turned itself on
I wish to get a tally up how many people are afflicted by this problem. It has not yet affected me performance wise, but i am concerned with long term affects as well as the possibility to turn it off when the situation calls for it.
TESTING
1) Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged (obvious but I am mentioning to be through)
2)Ensure you are not connected to your charger (my phone operates normally when connected and does not automatically boot)
3a) Power off the phone by the power button
b)or pulling the battery. Wait 10 seconds before placing the battery back in if you pulled it.
4)Wait it may take a few seconds but we may want to try for 1 minute to be sure it is not there
5) Report results in the poll and comment
I would think it would be a good idea to post your phones information if you are having the issue.
Such as rom, kernel, radio (ril matched or not) , desire Z or g2, and hboot(if known).
Other information is welcome to.
I have been going through several radios, roms and hboots and this has never happened to me.
Desire Z
My Desire Z auto booted. I'm running CM 7.1 RC1.
Hmm interesting i noticed mine when i started using MeXDroid mod pre ghost chilli.
Did you try anything so far to try and fix the issue. I think it would be a good idea to gather all the information possible.
Also mabe we could brainstorm ideas.

Using the current MIUI release, I just noticed this a couple of days ago. When I power down using the power button, it will reboot itself in a matter of seconds. The same thing just happened with a battery pull.

mine didnt auto boot

I think that this might have something to do with the battery calibration procedure. My Z did power off normally when I did the calibrating procedure about two weeks ago. Since then I haven't tried to power it off until now. I have only installed a few apps and upgraded the radio to .30 since I did the calibration.
Same issue here. DZ.rooted with g2 hboot. Latest bell radio. Cm7 nightly 136.

Happens to me regardless of which ROM I use (Tried CM7 Nightlies, and Vision Sense 2.3.3)
Radio 26.10.04.03_M
Eng HBoot 0.84.2000
Obviously Canadian Desire Z
GREAT NEWS!
as posted by edkeys in cm7 nightly thread, drain your battery to 0% and let the device turn itself off completly dead, plug into charger and let it charge ~4 hours or until your light turns green. unplug charger, phone will boot, load up your rom, power down, AND IT STAYS OFF!
^lol i was trying that one to but for some reason it did not work for me... i may have made a mistake somewhere through and unplugged when it wasn't 100%yet (light was green though)
I am trying again later and it it works ill quote you in the first post =D
My phone started powering off normally again after upgrading to the latest nightly. Didn't even need to do that battery drain procedure.
what was changed in the nightly? i flashed a sense rom, miui, and new hboot and radios without it being fixed. i did the battery drain trick and that worked. so im curious as to what cyan changed in one nightly...
I did the battery drain with the latest MIUI and it was a no go. I may try again though.
I don't think that the problem is ROM related. I didn't have the problem initially with CM 7.1 RC1 but after I made the battery calibration procedure for the first time the problem started. Then I upgraded to the latest nightly (138) and the problem was gone.

After the phone shut down, when you plugged in the charger did it automatically reboot because mine does -.-
so ya.... still rebooting after charged to 100% from 0% and unplugged from charger
I drained the battery to nothing, plugged in to charge, and after less than 5 minutes, turned the phone on, to charge to 100% (I needed the phone on for the alarm clock). This seems to have fixed my no-shutdown issue. That was on nightly 132. I am now on 137, and so far, so good.
While on the subject, is there an app that specifically uses up the battery to drain faster? ie, turns on absolutely everything, and really drains it fast? Might be handy for battery calibrations.
So it seems that my phone might be reaching the end of line. Whenever the phone starts to get warm it starts boot looping.
A Few Examples:
Talk on the phone for 10-15 minutes, as soon as the screen comes on after i hang up, boot loops.
While streaming music for a while and turn the screen on and start using the browser, boot loops.
Tethering and doing anything with screen on, boot loops.
playing any game for a short time, boot loops.
hulu plus for a couple mins, boot loops.
In order to get it to stop I just pull the battery let it cool off for a couple minutes and let it boot up like normal. I have never had it reboot while the screen was off. It also happens in any rom/kernel combination I have used. It also happens with my stock battery and the Anker battery that I have. Any opinions? Tips?

What ROM/Kernel combinations you using for example?
What's your flashing process, you doing dirty or clean flashes? Also any apps recently d/l'd?
Any over/underclocking. Same for voltages?
How old are your batteries, both stock and anker?

I had the same problem.
The problem was CPU halting because of too low voltage.
Fixed it by overvoltaging at the max clock via Incredicontrol.
Oem battery is 2 years old. Anker is 2 months old. Currently running v8 of digital karma, underworld kernel with stock speeds and voltages. I have never messed with voltages on my phone but I was thinking the same thing about the cpu getting unstable and needing more juice. Just don't know how similar phone and pc cpus are...

If I'm not mistaken, Underworld is an undervolted kernel by default. My phone never responds well with Underworld kernels, despite which rom I try.
Try using a different kernel and see what happens. Of course, there IS the chance that your phone is reaching the end of its life. My phone is acting all wonky, too, but in much less severe annoyances.

yeah underworld is undervolted. I upped the voltages to the stock setting outlined in the underworld thread.. Same problems. It happened on ics roms also with mason kernel and the prelude drew kernel. Contract with sprint is up in about 2 weeks ill just wait it out and stop tethering for coworkers, that should keep the heat down lol.
Might be am idea to check how many processes are running in the background too. I know Android is set to run better with ram being used but sometimes I think the system can get overloaded.
I forgot did you say the reboots happen with any scheduler, governor combo too?
An enviousOG
on ics roms it happened with wheatly and smartassv2, on sense smartassv2 and ondemand. I have also noticed that it never happens when the screen is off.. I stream music alot at work and say after 2-3 hours of streaming i turn on the screen BAM reboot. I pull the battery and place the phone and battery in front of a fan for 10-15 seconds and it boots up and runs like nothing had happened for another 2-3 hours or even the rest of the day.
edit: Also I made it reboot after 10 minutes of streaming extreme quality on spotify app. I was happy it played without skipping with the terrible 4g connection i get at work! LOL oh well 2 more weeks til upgrade.
Maybe try to increase the min values of both the cpu and if you can the voltages for the kernel, since it seems to be happening when trying to wake the phone. Might be an idea to try increasing all voltages as well

I would just wipe EVERYTHING. Make sure to do a nandroid backup, and wipe the crap out of that thing. Partition your SD card, triple wipe data, dalvik, and cache. Then re-flash your rom, or try another kernal.
Dear Friends,
I'm having a rare problem with my S4.
All used to be fine but now suddenly the device turns itself off when it's stressed. By stressed I mean during a call while switching to another application or watching a video for more than a few minutes. To me it seems like a battery broken because once I unplug the AC cable and run the benchmark the phone shuts off and usually when it gets to the GPU/Video related tests. When I plug in the AC cable and run the test everything works as usual.
Also when the phone has turned off randomly the phone has problems booting up. It will get to the omega boot animation restart again. The intervals are always different. Sometimes the logo spins for a few seconds and then it reboots again, sometimes it happens right away when the logo appears. Its almost that the phone does not have enough juice to boot up eventhough the battery is charged with 40% or so.
Once I plug in the AC cable the phone boots up normally. I doubt that it's the custom Rom (Omega 9.0 with stock omega kernel) that is causing the problem. It seems hardware related. I'm guessing:
- GPU
- Battery
What do you think is causing those random turn-offs ?
Should I exchange the battery or flash stock rom to check if it still happens?
Why does it make a difference if the AC cable is plugged in? can it be anything that is not battery related?
I'd love to have your opinions!
Best,
Thomas

Your using XXUBMGA right? I had this weird problem where the screen wouldnt turn back on unless i pulled the battery. I switched to the german firmware and all is fine. Its not hardware, trust me, same prob.
First go to stock rom mate, then check

Weird thing is i was using stock, even though exxi is using a modified rom it might not play nice with root/custom kernels. Dont know for sure though; just what i have observed directly.
Friends,
I've installed the Pre-Rooted Stock Rom UBMGA via Odin. Cleaned the phone completely. It booted up and during the first Sign up process (google account, wifi network setup etc.) it went off again with 80% charge. When I plug it to the charger I can continue the setup normally. It seems that whenver it starts any GPU related process (Video animation, Antutu menchmark, Quadrant, Games) it turns off without warning. I ordered a new bat. hopefully it will arrive next week but until then I will not know if the issue is battery or phone related. at this point I doubt that it's ROM related. What's your judgement on this?
Best,
Thomas

Any news? I've had Omega v7 and like two weeks ago it started to turn off suddenly... I thought battery run of or something, later on when this turn off happened and I turned phone on I had "black screen of death" or what to call it.. no launcher but status bar was ok, when I dragged status bar down I could open settings and change "homescreen" to basic and than back to normal and it worked...but... I couldn't use home button, it just showed black window that disappeared immediately. I backed up data and flashed Omega v11, after "tutorial" just after choosing language it showed this black screen again, so I've begun being suspicious it's hardware related. Morning after that it was working okey. Well...not really.. in app list one page of app was showing shadows of icons instead of icons, when i scrolled trough all pages it fixed. Later that day it turned off again. No turning off omega symbol, just.. like if you pull out battery. And those shadow icons were on two app pages. I've flashed nandroid backup of original ROM and when I browse gallery fast it turn off again... I suppose it's hardware related as it's not stuck to specific ROM. Maybe wrong battery? but more like motherboard I think. It also broke my sd card, because of multiple power failures probably. Also after this turn off battery drops down for like 10% or more. First screenshot - shadow icons..second screenshot - battery % drop

i have the same problem with one of the last stock release, in last 2 days my phone's system was totaly burnt because i've played a lot with roms kernels and tweak, and it started to give me also this kind of problem. So i flash by odin one of last stock firmware and it's ok, after a few minutes i've rooted again the rom and charged phone from 19% (at this percentage the phone turn off) to 100%. it seems to be okay, but at 63% it turn off again, so i pull out battery for some minutes, and after it continues to turn of after a few seconds...
(one of the tweak that i made was using "battery calibration" it clean battery stas that can be damaged by skipping between various rom, i used it a lot on galaxy nexus but maby this can be one of/the reason of problem)
Have u resolved by changing the battery???
Dear folks,
It's a battery related problem. When I changed the battery for a mumbi type new battery the phone works with no turning off. Problem resolved

I have been using TWRP and Beanstalk ROM for some time, and the current version installed has been there about two weeks with Hellscore kernel, never had any issues or problems, its been pretty flawless and I have been very happy with it. I also run a tool called AutoReboot, which automatically reboots the phone daily at 3:00am for a few months now. I never really had trouble with my phone previously, it just seemed like a way to keep things cleaned out on a regular basis.
So about 1am I threw my Nexus on the charger with about 30% battery and went to sleep, this morning I get up and grab my phone and am treated to the screen stuck on, the battery at 6%, and the nice Google logo with a open padlock at the bottom of the screen... Holding the power button for 10 seconds or so powered the device off, and then I was able to power up and boot normally and within a few hours the battery was full. Tried a manual reboot and everything went fine.
First question... I am wondering is if this is just a fluke and it can be ignored, or is it likely the beginning signs that it's time to start looking for a new device? The phone is about 15 months old and never given me any problems at all.
Second question... Is rebooting daily really needed, would doing it automatically weekly or so be better, or am I better off just to manually reboot when something acts up or feels "off"?
Personally, I'd just randomly reboot it when you need to and not use some app to do it. Of course I mess with my phone a lot so reboot frequently, lol

So, i had this random rebooting issue on stock oreo, after installing custom roms it went away for a while but now the issue is back again, My phone will randomly reboot as if my battery has just died(while plugged in or fully charged).. I can be playing games or just scrolling through my home screen and it will reboot without warning, then starts up like nothing happened.. any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey Texas, I'm not sure how old your battery is. But if your battery is on the fritz it could be losing voltage in your phone will shut down. I think you'll normally get a bad battery warning but I'm not positive. I'm using Alpha Oreo 1.3.1 with MK 2000 version 2.2 kernel. And have not had any random reboot problems. On the contrary. It has been extremely stable and I'm getting extremely good battery life especially with greenify. Normally 24 to 27 hours on a full charge. With anywhere from 3 1/2 to 6 hours of screen time.
