Galaxy 3 Shutdowns

It happens only when I turn on 3G or I do some installing or I play a game. It says there's low battery and the phone starts shutting down. I've rooted and tried various ROMs but still nothing. What could be the problem? I don't think its the software because I tried rerooting and hard resetting. Any help would be great!

Well it says low battery then it must be because of low battery. Maybe your calibration has gone wrong. Just recalibrate your battery and check.

Nope it's definitely not because the battery's low I charge it to 100% then for maybe 2 hrs its fine. But once I turn on 3G and use it for 5 mins it automatically shuts down. If I try turning it back on it does the same thing what can I do now? I tried to recalibrate the battery many times still nothing. I'll try some more but what else could be the problem?

Try changing kernel?? Increase minimum frequency. Maybe. If problem is still there. Flash your regions stock ROM and go to service center. Replicate the problem there.

Yeah I think I'll take it to the service center but before that I'll try what you said. Thanks for your help!

What if you keep the phone plugged in with the charger and then turn on 3g or install something? Does it turn off even then?
If it does not, the problem is with the battery so replace it.
If it turns off even when charging, something else is causing the problem so take it to the service center.

dude i have had the same problem. i did send it to the service center - will get it back tomorrow if not, then for tuesday for sure..i know what your problem is .. your phone does draine the battery very fast - if you do something, or not isnt it? then when you swith your data connection on, your phone drains the battery withing 5 minutes to 0%. in reality its not a battery problem - cuz i tried another battery of a friend and the same thing happend again. but the battery of my friend isnt bad. :S

Nope it happens only when it's on battery and yesterday I found out that it happens when I make calls too. When it's charging everything is fine. I'll try changing the battery then.

Yeah that is exactly the problem I've been facing too! In 5 minutes it switches off I've even tried different ROMs. Well since you've given yours for service could let me know how it goes? Thanks.

Yes. I reveived it today.. seems like the problem still exists -.- i dont see any changings.. it looks like it was just a waste of time to send it to them -.-

have you tried changing the battery

I have the same problem since one week (shutdown while i use 3G or Wifi, but battery is full !)
Revert to stock ROMs doesn't change anything, i've tried o lot of them (was on cyanogenmod before)
I probably get the Galaxy Nexus next year ; but it's a very very annoying problem..
I can't do anything (no calling, 3G or wifi using, pictures taking..)
Please help us.. if it's possible

Yeah I tried my friend's battery but still I have the same problem.

Oh that's not good but I'll take it to a service center asap and hope they fix it. Otherwise it's time for a new phone!

[Q] help, phone reboots and battery turns 0%

ever since installing arrow rom V8, my phone sometimes crash and reboot from opening certain apps or even taking a picture... but that's not the weird part, its when my phone reboots and turns on again, but with the battery at ZERO percent. This happened 3 times already, and only on arrow rom.
When i take out the battery and put it back on again, it's still at ZERO percent battery... to solve it i have to turn off the phone and plug it in the charger at the same time.
Any advice why this happens? do i need a different kernel or a new battery?
thanks
im using i9500 octa version.

My guess is a new battery. Samsung already stated that some phones have bad batteries.

Samsung has started replacement of such batteries. Go to your nearest service station and get ur battery replaced. Even mine had the same problem but now works like a charm.

[Q] [H] i9500 Battery instantly to 0

Hello friends,
MY i9500 international edition has been having this problem for several months now. I have flashed about 3 or 4 ROMs and the result is always the same. I charge to 100%.. use for little while and then I do something like open the Camera, or xyz app and BOOM the screen goes black, upon rebooting the low battery popup appears. The phone will heat up during this process. Sometimes, removing the battery and rebooting acts as a temporary fix. The battery percentage reappears at a higher number and I can use the phone.. But, then the phone rings or I try to reply to a text message and BOOm screen goes black, etc..
currently using 4.4.2, kernel 4.3.5-CM-gbe05dd6 (SuperNexus ROM)
help!

Perhaps a battery problem? Try replacing the battery. Or borrowing first, at least.

well bro do you see the golden plates on your battery? So these pins might get damaged while flashing not every tym but it happens. Replace your battery or just sit and caliberate the battery which of no use.All the best.

[Q] Popup low battery notification doesn´t shows up

Hello everyone,
I recently bougth (1 month) my samsung google nexus 10, and when i connected him, at home, i see that it comes with 4.2.
When i connect it to my network by wifi, automaticaly upgrade the system , now i have 4,4,2 KOT49H.
My problem is, my tablet rarely popups the low battery notification. I tried to install some app i find in google store, and i find this one, battery notifier bt free 99, where i can set a custom sound for low and full charge battery.
But no way to work neither.
I install this app in 2 other devices android (1 tablet , 1 smartphone) with android 4,2.2 and it´s works.
Do you have also this problem with yours google nexus 10, or it´s just me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry but I don't quite understand your problem. Is it only not showing the low battery? Maybe it's the case that it doesn't even get to 15%, which is the first notification. My tablet, for example, is shutting down on 20%, so it doesn't show the notification. If that's your case as well, then you should recalibrate your battery (I need to do with mine as well ).
If that's not the problem, then I'll need to examine further... For now, just make it clearer for me .
~Lord

I had to buy a new battery mine would always say 100% but when it was dead the tablet would shut down I could recharge but still always reported 100 are you having the same problem? Mine was brand new from eBay he sent me another tablet and said I could send my old one back or keep it for 75 so I did that a battery is around 40 on eBay and is easy to replace. For me anyways.

hey my battery on my nexus 10 is not acting up. It will charge to 100% but soon as I unplug it, it will shut down a few sec/mins later and while completely off it show that the battery is either 0% or 100%, but wont boot up pass the animation screen. If I leave it plugged in for a while it boots up all the way and then it shows that its at 0%. However after only a few mins it will show that it is 100% working. So Im not sure if its the actual battery or some sort of corruption between the actually battery level and the data file that shows u the battery level. The funny thing is that I can go in and navigate all through Recovery Mode with now problem....even when the tablet shows that its at 0% and wont boot up pass the animation screen. So Im really confused. Any suggestion or thoughts? Also if i have to swap the battery how easy or hard is it?

Battery at 100% all the time

I have the same issue: battery stays at 100% no matter what I do. It is a NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY which I got over e-bay, to fix the old one which had the erratic behavior as decribed above (either 100% or 0%, not even booting up). I see 100% charge always, thoug it does react to AC (un)plug. What is the solution here? There is buch of people writing at forums to replace the battery, but it was not the fix for me. Is it possible that the replacement piece is broken as well? Or is it software? Or some pther hardware module, which may be replaced?

Maaann Ive done so much research on this and couldnt really find anything. I have no idea what the problem is....one part says its the battery....another part says its something else.....I think theres a miss-communication between the battery and the charger (I think). They are not speaking the same langue. But thats just my personal opinion. I took my tablet apart using a friend tool kit to see if maybe discounnecting the battery as well as the other port would do anything...but nope...nothing happened. I still get the same results. I was then forced to call Google...who ended up transferring me to samsung becuz Im not longer on warrant (time expired). Samsung said for $108 they should be able to diagnose..and fix my tablet (including shipping both ways), provided it doesnt have water damage or any physical damage. (which can lead to paying more money). Im just going to do that bcuz at least I know the work will be guaranteed. Im a bit nervous bcuz my tablet is rooted and has a custom rom on it, But at the same time it shouldnt matter bcuz im not in warranty anyways, So hopefully i'll be good.
All that being said.....I really dont which is causing the issue.

Pixel 4xl stuck on 50% . Switches off randomly and has a battery symbol with a (?).

Battery stuck on 50% won't change even when charge or discharge. Today it randomly shutdown in my pocket. and then had a battery symbol with a ?. The phone eventually turned on, I've tried turning off location, rebooting still having issues. Sometimes the battery saving mode stops working, i.e. it cannot be turned on. As I can see the problem concerns a large group of users and nobody knows what this problem is related to. Google is silent as usual. Is this a problem with the software or components ?! I am in a bad situation because I have no warranty for the device and I do not know where to send the phone in Poland because no one knows what is the cause of the problem. Help me please.

there's already been a fix for this it's on the link you posted.

I wanted to chime in and say I am also having this issue. It has to be related to latest update? Anyways, I tried the squeeze trick and HOLY **** it worked! Thanks for that! Went from showing 50% to 93%. I would like to see Google's response. This issue the last few days has had me frustrated...enough to pre-order for an S20 Ultra and getting $600 for this POS. I was also experiencing random shutdowns, etc. I am going to continue to monitor this and will update if anything changes.
also you can try to factory reset.
Cheers, Hope this helps

do you just charge it up again when it shuts off at 50%? keep trying to drain the battery till it hits 0% just keep turning the phone on Everytime it shuts off. if you ever get to the point where it wont turn on anymore. charge the phone to 100% without turning the phone on. once it reaches to 100%, unplug the phone and turn it on. discharge the phone all the way to 0% and repeat the process at least 2 or 3 times. this will hopefully reset the battery stats. also clear the storage on the "device health services" app. battery stats are also kept in here

Actually I'm just setting up the warranty replacement handset that Google sent me. This is a hardware issue, not fixable with reboots or software. The new phone works great. Old one is still stuck saying 50%

I had the same issue and the repair was covered by Google, even though my phone is about 15 months old.
