Overheat and battery drain

Hey there. My friend sold his soul to devil and bought himself Iphone 6s.
He was planning to sell his note 3 but I told him to give it to me for a few weeks to see if it works well.
I completely wiped everything and flashed stock rom from odin. I wanted to try out some custom roms but there seem not much to try with n9000q version.
Anyway the thing overheats in a few minutes and battery acts stupid. While it is at 80% device reset itself and boots with 45% battery left (so it says) then climbs back to 57-58%. Then resets again and come back with 1%
It overheats around its camera. I am wondering if replacing battery would solve these problems or not.
Not more than likely .

Battery drops from 30 to 0 in minutes

Hello,
I have a problem with battery, it drains normally until it reaches 40 or 30 percent, after that it suddenly start dropping rapidly until it shuts off in just a few minutes and acts like dead. I think this started happening after MM update, I've found several answers online but none of them is from an active Note 4 user but from tech specialist, suggesting it might be both a battery problem or a software problem too. Also, some people state that a new battery solved the problem, but also many of them bought the new OEM battery but the problem still exists even with the new battery.
Does any of the users on xda have the same issue after MM? I don't want to waste money for a new battery if it's not a battery problem. And again, I dont know if and when will Samsung release an update for this kind of bug if its a software thing... I would like to know if I'm alone with this and hear some thoughts on buying a new battery or no?

It's your battery!
Your battery has deteriorated to a point that it only hold around 70% of its original capacity.
I have 4 original batteries which 2 of them are new & 2 of them are old, deteriorated ones.
One of them only holds around 70% like yours & one of them holds around 90%.
The new ones.....they works perfectly.
They holds around 99%.
Remember that lithium batteries deteriorates through time whether you use it or not.
Thanks for your opinion.
Once it also happened that my battery level was showing 50% and in the middle of browsing, my display went black, touch keys working and display is completely black. Even after a couple of restarts and cache wipe from recovery it remained black after booting, while the screen was working properly on the boot and showing samsung logos and all. I assumed there's a voltage problem, but I still was not sure is it a defective battery or system not reading the level of it properly. Never happened before with any of my previous Samsungs.
I've got almost same problem as @ljubimci.
The only problem is that I bought new battery (from samsung shop, 100% original not fake) and it dies even faster then my old one
The bigest drops are when i use high demanding aps, especially camera (4k recording) then it can drop from 60-70% to 0 in "0 minutes". This started to happen to me on MM, so i downgraded to LP (5.1.1) Nothing changed... And at the end i've changed my ROM to stock, unrooted 4.4.4 (ANK4). Problem still existing End the last biggest problem of them all is that i've lost somwhere my receipt, so i can't give samsung my battery back ;-(
I know that to some people changing ROM's help, to some new battery help, and it looks like to me only xda can help Is there a possibilty that new battery is damaged, or maybe there are any kind of fixes?

Samsung Note 4 N910C battery drain

Hello and Happy New Year to all,
*
I came across an issue with my Note's (N910C) battery today and I would like your opinion on it.
*
A quick background:
*
The phone has never been rooted.
9-10 months ago I downloaded an official firmware (6.0.1) which I flashed via Odin and it began to drain the battery very fast, killing the phone in less than a day.
I got a new battery, but the problem was still there.
Eventually I tried another firmware which worked nicely and consumption returned to normal levels. Since then, I had no problems whatsoever.
Yesterday night I got a notification to update. I had already done another two in the past - if I'm not mistaken - , without noticeable difference.
I did the update overnight and I removed the charging cable in the morning. It seemed that it was a little warmer than usual, but I did not pay attention.
The battery percentage was reducing at the rate of 1% per minute and it died within 2 hours.
I checked battery info, nothing abnormal.
I have two questions:
*
1. Does anyone have similar experience with this model (or other)?
2. If I reinstall the previous firmware, normally the problem should be fixed, right? I mean it started after an official update which AFAIK affects native apps only.
*
Thank you in advance
I have noticed on my Note 4, after upgrading to marshmallow, the battery drained like crazy too. It would drain 10-20% when I use it for 20 mins or so. The battery that I'm using is a 'new' one that I bought just about a year ago although the problem still occurred when it was fairly new.
I'm speculating that there might be some sort of battery or software issue with marshmallow as the original battery that came with the phone also had the same issue. It would drain fairly quickly until one day it just stopped working and would boot loop until I plugged it in to the charger.
Ever since marshmallow, I have never seen my battery get to 15% before switching off completely. Sometimes even 45% lol.

I had a faulty N910F and got another (used) one and it's had occasional forced closes at between 15-20%. This worries me that it might go the way of the old one where it developed the issues with it freezing and the frequent reboots....does yours exhibit any other issues?

Yes. Unfortunately. Currently, it would just die halfway even when I'm at 50%? That's the highest that I've noticed. So I had to charge it up for a bit maybe to 60% and it would be fine before dying around the 20+ - 40% mark. Previously, the original battery that came with the phone had this weird issue where the battery won't hold any charge even when it's fully charged. Like it will go to a bootloop when I've unplugged it even though it's at 100%. When I bought the new, current battery I noticed that it would still die off at 15-20% and the original battery became bloated a few months later.
Are you using any custom roms? The bootloops and freezing could be related to using some custom roms. I changed from a N7 port to a deodexed stock rom and the frequency of the freezing and reboots just plummeted. Reboots only happening when the battery is close to dying.

Ah right, so you had only the reboots, nothing else? That's fair enough.
No, it's nothing at all to do with the ROM. I'm stock but LOTS of people have had the same issue. As it stands, the only way to fix it is to get a new mobo :crying:

Well besides the usual overheating that's related to our snapdragon CPU, nothing much but mostly battery issues.
Although there is thread that I'm following that promises to fix the 15-20% issue. Checking their method to see if it works or not

hey can you give me the link of that firmware that improved your battery life
I had a similar problem with fast battery drain - did a factory reset and it's back to normal. Make sure you're using a battery from a reputable source like RavPower (don't think there are any genuine Samsung ones left and Anker stopped making them).

Opinion on jiayu s3 going ****

Hi!
I am having huge issues with jiayu s3. Used to talk to my friend saying it was octacore, good battery etc. Now everything is sluggish and battery, it lasts less than 6 hours. You would perhaps think that it might be my battery but I have bought 4 (!!) exernal official batteries, all are ****! FIrst I "upgraded" to this german ROM which is here and first went okay but then strangely first time ever I got malware making the phone unsuable. Then I changed to a more newer version and battery was sooooo poor. Now I flashed back to the german one and yes, it last 6 hours maximum, sometimes it just dies with 40% battery. It is also slow.
So I went back to my old phone and it runs a lot smoother but kinda sucks having this jiayu s3 that was working fine for awhile, now being **** and ive tried so many roms. Did I get a defective unit? Should I try the android 7-rom?
It is a battery issue right.
All the original batteries for jiayu S3 are problematic. Don't buy an original jiayu s3 battery you will just have the same problem again in the short time.
I hate the same issue until I got a kompson battery.

Fix Random Reboots in Galaxy S6

I bought my Galaxy S6 in June 2015 and the phone now is 2.5 years old and battery has lost over 30% of its capacity and after the last update the phone started randomly rebooting 3-4 times per day. So I took inspiration from what Apple did with their older iPhones and customized my power saving option to just decrease the CPU performance by 30% to avoid the peak currents that causes the battery to shut down and I haven't had a single reboot ever since then. It does actually works.
The difference however is that I have intentionally done that based my choice. And I know why my device has slowed down now and I know that all I need to do to get the day 1 performance is get a fresh battery ;P.

well... in my case, (my phone is also around 2.5 years old) after replacing my battery with another s6's battery i had, the rebooting and freezing stopped for... probably 4 days... or so...
It happened again and i asked a friend of mine to look at it (he's an electronics hobbyist with some nice tools and phone breaking experience)... He said it appeared that there was some irregularities with the motherboard in my FIXED s6 compared to my other S6 with the broken lcd... i didn't understand the other stuff he said but we swapped motherboards... that was around Halloween 2017 and the phone has since behaved like it should.
P.S: im using the original battery now. not the swapped battery...
(P.P.S: how is this problem so common and no one knows how to fix it? my guess is it was built this way to upgrade to s7? meaning s7 people will start experiencing the same thing around 2.5 years or sooner..)
