Problem with Blackstone (Need the Dr House that's in you)

First of all, hello everybody, I have an hard question to post you all.
I have had some "water probem" regarding my Blackstone.
After it, it worked good for about a week and now it totally drains the battery in 30 minutes. At least I thought it was draining it !!!
But the truth is that it doesn't drain it, because I checked it on another HD.
My diagnosys is that the part that reads and recharge the battery got oxidated.
I was thinking about forcing the HD not to read the battery or trick it telling him it that's always 100%.
The question is, how can I do that ? by registry ? disabling the process ? but most of it ..... is it possible ?
Thanks to all in advance.

WELL dr.house would say do a biopsy and if you locate the cancer you could sent the patient to surgery, the pest parts for a translplant can you find here. Unless your diagnosis will work, i doubt it but hey who knows!

Wow, thanks that's a really good site.
Anyway I already treated it for everything, lupus included...... I really think that if I could get it not to continusly check the battery I could use it with the only problem of not being able to charge it.
I'll keep looking forward to try to do this by code !
Thanks al lot anyway.

I love that show. House is hilarious.
Good luck getting things figured out. I'm sure it's technically possible but I imagine it would require hacking of the OS itself.
My users ask me all the time, "Is it possible for you to .... "
I always answer, "Anything is *possible*. But..."

I totaly agree with you my friend.
Anyway, I figured it out.......It was the camera, that damn little camera was heating up (A LOOOT) the main board.
I just unplugged it a my HD came to life again (too bad I just bought a brand new HD2 --- :-D ) well, I'll use it for Rom cooking.
Anyway, thanks.

[Q] How to fix strange battery behavior?

Since last week I am experiencing a really strange behavior of my battery.
Sometimes my phone (in a random app) just vibrates, the screen goes black and then it reboots. After the reboot I have lost 40-50% battery life. Sometimes the phones isn't even able to complete the reboot because it spontaneously has too little power left. See attached screenshots.
Has anybody had similar problems? Or knows a solution?
About my setup: The problem seems to be not rom or kernel related. It occurs no matter what rom or kernel setting I am using. Currently I am running coool boy's 4.3 GE witch KT's kernel (no OC or UV).
Is it possible that the battery is physically damaged? I have NO IDEA...

Experiencing the same problem. I've flashed back to stock and still experiencing this. Phone randomly turning off, not starting, sudden battery drops. Driving me crazy.

This looks pretty strange 0.o
Consider buying a new recovery

I've seen the same sort of graph on my old i9000. You're not gonna like this, but it got worse over time, and eventually my battery wouldn't last more than 5 mins. I thought buying a new battery would help, but it didn't. When I sent it in to Samsung they said they would have to replace the entire motherboard...
I think it's got something to do with the motherboard not being able to correctly sense the battery voltage/whatever/%. The phone reboots automatically because it thinks the battery is flat (even though it isn't).
If you're under warranty I suggest sending it in soon... Hopefully it's not the same as what I had heh.

Well *#!$
I'll observate it for the next few days and see if it's getting worse...

If your phone is rebooting as opposed to just powering off, then I suspect it is hardware related (motherboard) as already mentioned.
I do hope I'm wrong though.
Maybe try using it for extended periods while plugged into a charger and see what happens. If it doesn't reboot then it may just be the battery.

Right as OP I'm suffering the same exact problem or there abouts. I've flashed back to stock rom, fully charged to 100% drained to 0% back to 100% yet still phone keeps shutting off randomly and the only way it works properly is with the charger plugged in. It's escalated quite badly with now after a few mins of YouTube turning itself off and not rebooting. I've requested a repair by o2 who I'm in contract with and see what will happen. I've heard crap stories about their repairs before taking it to Samsung.

I9500 owner. Had this exact same problem when using older firmware. After updating to the latest one, never had this issue again. Its been two months now, even more.
Try this. Flash the latest available firmware for you phone, not talking about OTA but the downloadable one from any region (whichever is latest for i9505). I guess it may have something to do with the kernel too.
Edit: wait a minute, why is your battery level going up when it isn't even charging in the second screenshot. Middle of the battery timeline. That's weird. I guess you should send the phone back

Its a hardware issue(motherboard).I hope your under warranty.Best of luck .

i have something strange like that also on my device ..

Thank you guys :good:
In the last few days the problem occurred more often. But now it is just shutting down (no reboot after vibrate) and after plugging it to the charger and restarting it sometimes I haven't lost any battery. Strange!
I fear there is nothing else to do than turning it in (warranty)

Same problem here. It started three days ago and today I'm barely able to use it... I'm still on warraty and I even have insurance, but it's a major inconvenience anyway.

Mines gone in for repair back to my carrier still no movement despite them having it for 2 days now really should have sent it back to Samsung directly. Will keep you guys posted.

Will send it in tomorrow. Lady on the hotline told me apparently the motherboard is defect and I'll get a new S4. Exchange, no repair. I'm fine with that...

That's good to hear, just inconvenience but at least you won't have to pay for it (or have the defect materialize a year later or something)

Hey
I am new here.
but i was looking for information becuase my s4 9505i has the same problem
shuts of almost everytime i open apps too quickly or stream youtube or some other high usage apps etc.
battery drops up to 50 percent then back 40 percent then to 0 percent, the fact it that the phone never seems to know where the battery is.
by the way my phone is not rooted and i have done the factory reset a few times.
samsung... hmmm.. they seem to be real hard to talk to on the phone, i have had to call them 4 times already about the s4 i ahve had since june, and they just play me off like i am some kind of idiot etc. and deny that there is possibly any reason for random shutdowns, phone freezing, and now this battery/motherboard issue.
next bit is kinda stupid, the phone has a few internal scratches on it from when i ahve stupidly had the phone next to keys and all that. im sure they are going to try and void my warranty and say i have mistreated the phone...
had many phones before, maybe close to 50 and never, never, never have had to ring up a company to try and complain etc.....
any ideas.
I am in Australia,
I am thinking of trying the CONSUMER AFFAIRS kind of threats, but i have to word it the right way...

Unusable Note 4 Overheating, I think

I have a Note 4 that is stock that started randomly restarting. Then it couldn't even boot all the way up. I noticed it was getting very hot near the sim card. After letting it sit for a day, and cool off, I think. I was able to get into stock recovery and do a factory reset before it froze again. However, it still can't even boot all the way to the welcome screen. I assume it is a hardware issue. Any advice on what to repair/replace to fix this? Is it the motherboard? Thanks.

Hi, you could try to flash the stock ROM of the Android version that you're using. If that doesn't help, it's most likely an hardware issue and you have to send it to Samsung or get it repaired otherwise if possible.

Thanks. I am pretty sure it is the motherboard that has gone bad. It won't stay powered on long enough to flash a rom.

Can you access the download mode of your device long enough? If yes, you could use the software Odin to flash the ROM.
If no, I guess nothing than Samsung itself can help you.

when my note 4 died suddenly during the day- having had issues like freezing, laggin and restarting since MM6.0.1- I thought it was ready for the burial but I read online somewhere- too many google pages LOL- to take the battery out, put it to chill in the fridge for 10 mins (I left mine in for 30), take it out and put the battery back in . Totally resuscitated!
Now using Wakelock app and all is- fingers crossed- well i.e.: no more lagging, freezing etc.
(I somehow could not flash custom firmware using my Mac after 3 tries- )

That's EXACTLY the case with mine right now, did you figure out the problem and if you did would you please be so kind and tell us what was it, i'm majorly desperate, i'm thinking a short circuit.

Sorry, no. I was going to replace the motherboard, but didn't find a good deal on one and gave up.

Thanks for the quick reply, guess i should probably follow up too, i'll try to remove the shorting using Elma's solution and if it doesn't work i'll just throw it out, a new motherboard costs as much as a whole new phone, and yeah your Note 4 was shorted as well, most likely due to a poor quality battery or a bad Charger/USB cable or excessively using it while charging.

You sure its not just bad batteries? I didnt even try to buy a Samsung battery when I recently replaced mine... too many junk knockoffs/used/refurbs. I went with after market. Your issue sounds like a lot of the bad battery stories I read about though. I always charge a new battery with the phone off, and then run down to 1% or 2%. I never use fast charge either

i already bought new one yesterday . things are alright but still one issue : stop charging at 92% or 88%

Where are you getting your batteries, and how are you charging it when you get it? "New to you" batteries doesnt necessarily mean "brand new", and can still be junk

no it's original from Samsung store branch

you still havent told us how youre charging your new batteries

standard fast charger

Never mind, I give up. Im not going to beg for information. For someone who wants help, you sure dont want to be very specific with details that could help you. Im done trying to help you

help me my Xiaomi redmi note 7 suddenly auto power off

My cellphone suddenly turns off when taking pictures / recording videos. this happened two days ago and now it's getting worse, this cellphone is turning on and off more and more
And always have to plug in the charger
but when in recovery mode it never happened
When I searched for a solution on google,Everyone said that it was a hardware problem
Thanks to all who answered my questions

It is possible that the capacity of the battery has decreased. We do not know how you charge it and how often.
Taking photos/videos is energy intensive and revealed the weakness of the battery. Let's hope this is the only problem, because of course, another electronic component may have broken down.

yes sir, it has to be. the phone was made in 2019 and these batteries have to be at least 4 years old by now. I am sure replacing the battery will fix your issue. It's one hell of a headache to have a phone that turns itself off.

Try to call someone or better use other phone and call ur rn7. I bet it restart when ringing.
When its on charger it dont restart ?
I bet its battery.
