Greetings
For the last week my device has been powering off at least once every two hours (sometimes more often) even though battery is not low. I won't be able to turn the device on (with it plugged in to charger or otherwise) unless I take the battery out and put it back in.
I have not rooted my device. It is about 3 months old and is in pristine condition.
I have tried booting in safe mode to narrow down if it was a specific app causing the issue and it still powered off.
Any ideas?

Hello people!
I've had my Nexus 7 for about 4 months now, and it started having battery problems a couple of weeks ago.
After the battery had drained completely, it wouldn't charge at all. I followed some steps to solve this problem, and managed to get it up again, but after that, charging it has been a nightmare.
To sum up:
When my tablet is on and plugged in, it shows that it's charging, but the battery slowly drains even if I don't use it for hours. If the tablet is off and plugged in it shows that it's charging, but it is not.
After it's completely drained, I have to go through the whole recovery mode, turn off, thirty second button push process to revive the tablet (which otherwise does not work at all) and let it charge while off. After that the tablet works fine, but does not charge.
I even did a factory reset, but nothing happened. Also I'm using the charger that came with the tablet.
Should I ask for a new one with my Guarantee or is there a fix for my problem?
maybe its some internal issue, if it came with a warranty. maybe go to the place where you bought it and see if they will replace it with a working N 7.
I was recently on vacation taking a "Photo Sphere" with my Nexus 4 and suddenly my phone just turned off. It didn't power down, it just suddenly was off. I felt the back of my phone and it was particularly hot right in the center of the phone. Since that event, my phone is highly unreliable when unplugged and will continue to immediately turn off when I either try to use the phone's camera, or sometimes: try to make a phone call, watch a video, and other random things. After the phone has powered off, it gets stuck in a reboot loop. The phone is bootable and works reliably when it is plugged in. When I am able to successfully reboot the phone, when plugged in, I can see that the battery has plenty of charge remaining. The phone will work for hours or minutes after it has been unplugged as long as I am doing very little with it.
Things I have tried so far have been rebooting into safe mode and formatting my phone with the stock Android 4.4.2 image. Both of these things have not worked out.
I'm trying to determine if I need a new phone if there is something else. Is there anything that would be indicated by a crash log and if so, how would I access that log.
Think it is a hardware issue
I can't help but think that this is a hardware issue. So, I just bought a new HTC One (M8). It is a fantastic phone. I am going to keep my glitchy Nexus 4 as a development/test device.
--- This may belong in the Xposed forum, I am uncertain. ---
Hello. Please forgive my ignorance regarding the technical aspects of methods discussed on these forums.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 supplied by Vodafone Australia. This was received today as a replacement for a screen issue I had with my previous S4. On the previous S4, I had rooted using a Saferoot method as read about on this forum. Later I had installed Xposed to use Keepchat and everything was fine. Today I have rooted this replacement phone successfully using the same method, and then moved to install Xposed. The Xposed application required an update, the very first option in the app was red and suggested an update or a reboot, and the reboot did nothing, so I pressed update. The phone turned off but didn't restart. I tried the usual button presses and battery pulls and finally a simple power up using the standard power button started the phone up. It got as far as the lock screen I believe, before shutting down again. It is now unresponsive. It wont turn on, enter the boot menu (multi button holding method) or charge. I believe the battery is quite low at this point, and unable to charge, causing me some consternation. It has now been over 30 minutes with no response.
If anyone could provide a resolution to this issue, I would be extremely thankful.
Regards,
CaleS
Try and ask in this forum my friend good luck

Hello again.
I have an update on my situation.
I left the phone on charge and it eventually turned on by itself. I played around with it for a while and it seemed OK. Eventually it turned off again. I had to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. After starting up again, getting to the lockscreen, it turned off again. This process repeated many times, until I got frustrated.
The next day I thought I'd try a factory reset via volume up + power, and the device managed to stay on long enough for this to complete. After the phone reset, I used it for a while and again it turned off. The same cycle continued.
Perhaps the phone is naturally faulty, despite my rooting attempt, as it was a refurbished model. I am quite happy to return it for another replacement under warranty, however I may not be able to do it as the device is rooted. I would gladly remove the root using stock firmware and Odin, however the phone resets after a few seconds of entering download mode.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Sounds to me you have a faulty power button. It's somehow stuck that's why it even reboots in download mode. It's a common problem for the S4. Try to wedge it or replace it.
if it is refurbished model it might as well be dead battery.
battery sensor detects "low battery" state and shutdown phone saying battery 0% - to protect battery against fully depleted state (damaging to max capacity or even impossible to charge at some point)
if you power it on again it will boot and say it has like 1% left and you will be able to use it for few more moments, but doing so will degrade your battery.
powering it on, going to lock screen for it to shutdown on its own again sounds like weak power source
imagine above scenario happening several times (previous owner of the phone kept "reviving" it after shutdown due to battery 0%)
that would resulted in battery able to hold only fraction of its standard power - allowing you to just boot your phone before it shuts down.
I had similar situation with my laptop battery (this one was on AC all the time) - battery was so damaged that laptop was shutting down at windows login screen - if booted on battery alone.
When booted on AC and unplugged it said 100% battery, that went down to 0% in a matter of around 2 minutes, when laptop shuts down.
Hey all;
Issue 1 : Its almost impossible to turn on.
The times I cannot get it to turn on it also doesn't show that the phone is charging when plugged in (no battery on screen, no led indicator).
If I reinsert battery a few times whilst plugged into a charger it will sometimes work sometimes will not (I've tried multiple batteries on known working charger)
I know when it has worked as the phone vibrates when battery inserted randomly and screen shows the battery charging symbol, then I am able to also turn it on normally.
Issue 2: When charging phone it becomes too hot to touch on the front glass about 1/4 below the earpiece
This is with the phone switched off; with it turned on; same thing but it never gains charge. (fresh ROM flashed, first boot, no connections, sim or wifi)
It also becomes hot when plugged into charger without the battery inserted; assuming strange processor issue?
I tried to charge it from 10%, it reached 35% before I unplugged it as I was concerned the phone would burst into flames; it had become untouchable/almost scalding on the front glass and the battery was absorbing a lot of the heat.
Issue 3: Wifi will not switch on.
Maybe problem with the processor also? although I did not attempt this on a few different stock roms yet.
More details:
So far I've flashed a stock ROM (actually I’ve tried 3 versions so far, two KitKat and one Lollypop); including flashing correct PIT files with each and using NAND erase all just to see if it would help.
I am using Odin 3.09 with good success; I’ve never had a write issue and it behaves itself very well always detecting the phone instantly in boot mode without fail. I've succeeded with all odin flashes of stock roms and booted each one without too much trouble.
The power drain is sufficient that the phone will only stay turned on for a few hours right after a fresh flash (e.g NO user apps; nothing; no sim; no Wi-Fi; NOTHING); after which I have to swap batteries with another (I'm using a working S4 to charge these).
Thanks to all.
Greetings, everyone!
I bought an N910C Note 4 back in 2015, has been working flawlessly up until the last couple months where I couldn't go more than 5 minutes off the charger without the phone dying and having to recharge it again. About a month ago, I bought a new battery and it resolved my phone's performance issues completely. At least, so I thought.
After around 2 days of having the new battery, my phone has been giving me a new issue: The phone immediately turns off(No Samsung screen or anything) when un-locking the screen or when doing just about anything(Although Chrome seems to be an exception, I haven't tested it again yet) past a certain battery percentage(Seems to be around 60% or so) and is unresponsive unless I do a battery pull or I put the charger in. Now here's the thing though, after it turns off and I put the charger back in, it still shows either the same percentage it had when it died or sometimes 2-5% less charge. After I turn it back on, the cycle continues.
I've done the following:
-Tightening the screws on the phone
-Dialing *#0228# and re-calibrating the battery
-Charging via computer with third party USB and charging via wall with original charger
-Disabled Fast Charging
-Running in safe mode
-Deleting Cache Partition
I have rooted the phone two months ago, and it is on 6.0.1. I did do a factory reset prior to getting the new battery, but I will try again if it is suggested.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate any help.
EDIT: It seems that prolonged usage of an app(As in not switching between apps or closing it out) seems to give me usage all the way to about 34-14%, where the phone then shuts off.
