after updating to FH13 through Kies, whenever I have GPS on and may 3G data on my phone would do a quick restart to the 4G logo bootup. all this within 15 seconds. it is not the full restart where you see the Samsung Galaxy S2 in the beginning the and 4G logo animation.

this seems to happen only when my GPS is on and maybe 3G data, had occurrences with 3G only not 4G.

does my phone crashing (due to boot reloads or hangups) and my battery life going from 80 some percent down to 50 some percent indicative of any of the above mentioned physical deformities to come or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Uhh, is your battery bulging? What ROM are you running? I rmemeber sometimes I would get screen flickers when using certain apps such as chrome when I was running AOKP, but that has nothing to do with battery, that's just the ROM. Put your phone flat against something like a countertop or something, and push down one corner at a time and see if the battery will lift from the opposite corner.

So, just to clarify. That same no insurance situation for $35 - I could have Sprint swap the phone??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
Can anyone confirm this? I plan on dropping by the Sprint store tomorrow. Wanna make sure that if thats an option, I go after it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
Free battery if you have insurance. They won't replace your phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
Stopped at the Sprint store yesterday.

The tech at one store said it was both the battery and the charging port, but their 'system was down' so I had to go to another store and have their tech check it again and they could order whats necessary.

That store tech told me it was definitely the charging port (I think mine was actually busted, unrelated to the battery issues we've all been having). He put the battery on the tester, first test was good. Second was bad, third was bad, fourth was good. As a computer tech., if I ever get something that tests intermittently like that, I still say its bad. If it doesn't work 100% - then it may as well work 0%. Anywho, I digress.

In the end, he placed an order for a new E4GT for me, but its on back order. Lord knows when I'll get it. When it arrives, I'll try my existing battery in the new device and see what happens. I do not have Sprint insurance.

Short story, getting a replacement phone for

$35

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Yeah, black E4GT's are on backorder, but the white ones aren't ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
Our second phone had this issue. The phone would drain rapidly, disconnect internet, lose service, then say the battery was low, then reboot and act normal for awhile. I just ordered a replacement battery on Ebay to avoid the hassle.... Once we removed the original battery from the phone it was quite bulged in the center. The new battery in the phone works fine, no more issue.... I'm going to Sprint soon to swap the defective battery for a newer one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
Interestingly enough. Even though they told me it was back ordered. Mine showed up today. The tech INSISTED that my battery was okay. I no sooner left the store and went 3 doors down to Cici's Pizza and the phone went on the fritz again because of the BATTERY. I was short on time and had to get to work after eating so I didn't stop back in right away. When I got home I popped in my extended battery and all is well. When I get a chance this week I'm gonna call that tech back and let him know the deal. Hopefully, they won't make me pay another $35 for another battery considering that's the reason I went to the store in the first place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yaeger:
I have a small bulge on my battery as well, slight burn smell too. Flickering and turning off when battery goes below 20%. I just oreder 1800mah battery on Amazon and not go through the hassle with Sprint.

I had the exact same issue as described in the OP. On top of that, my OS would freeze at 50% battery, then shut down. Upon reboot I would only have 2% battery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Skobik:
yo, have any of you experienced a locked up cell signal on top of this as well? at first, like if i was trying to make a call it wouldn't go through and then my phone would shut off. then when i turn it back on my battery is substantially lower than it was before it "died." let me say that it's been happening to me about a week and a half now. well over the past weekend i caught it happening a couple of times and was able to plug it up and noticed the cell signal staying on. now my battery is dying so fast that if i plug it up in the middle of the screen flicker the signal is still lost and i have to turn the power cycle in order to get it back.

so i need to know if my locked up cell signal is something that anyone else has experienced because if not i'll have to figure out that problem after i get the battery replaced.[/QUOTE]

I have same problem here. Not resolved it yet. Hope it is only bad battery.

And Yeah, I do feel a tiny bulge in the center of the battery. Weird thing is why it only happens in that particular room?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Marcus Welby:
Something people also need to consider is the stupid charging port. It may even be the reason your batteries are bulging!

I had the exact same issues... locking up and shutting down, reboots with a flickering screen, battery level drops wildly.

Eventually my GS2 wouldn't even boot up. The problem with the charging port is well known, so I took a toothbrush and dipped it in some isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed the inside of the port. As it happens, I had forgotten to remove the battery first, but that was a good thing, because as I was scrubbing, the phone suddenly came back to life on its own! It's been running fine for a few days now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fayizdasma:
i have this same issue with I9100 INU firmware

When my battery percentage reaches to 20-30%, phone starts to get heated , the screen flicks, network disconnects and then suddenly turn off. :confused:

(It does not turn on unless charger is plugged in and starts charging from 0%. )

Now when plugged into charger for about 15 minutes then turned ON, battery displays about 76% ! :eek:

So

- i took it to samsung service center got my battery replaced; but problem persists.

-again to samsung service center, they said me its software problem so have to re install firmware(it cost Rs.330 since out of warranty); but problem persits

-again at samsung service center, now they tell me its hardware problem, and with no further check-ups , they just say "replace the board, it cost about Rs.8000" :mad:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btbadboi:
I'm having the same problem. My phone screen flickers, then shuts off, even with more than half battery remaining. I thought it was the battery, so I bought a new one on Amazon. I charged up the new battery for a few hours, Then proceeded to use my phone. It seemed to have worked, up until I got to about 40% battery, then the screen flickered, and turned off. So I am having the same problem even with a brand new battery.

Yep. Had this exact problem a few months ago. Had I slightly bulged battery. Bought an extended battery from Amazon and three days later: No flicker, and INSANE battery life! :D

I had this problem for a few days now and I did notice when I'd use the stock browser it looked grayed out, so I froze the browser in titanium & it's working normally again. I'm using the latest neatrom. My friend had the same problem & he done the same as me and he's back to normal again too. It's obvious the stock browser was responsible. Can someone else freeze the browser in titanium & check if it works for them.

You're welcome! As said in the goodbye thread my device was stolen D:, but I can tell you that it had amazing battery life (It's been a few months, can't say specifically how good.) My old battery had started bloating and I was having this flicker problem so I ordered one off Amazon, If you want more specifics go look here and see all the five star ratings.

except for this one, don't listen to him.

I have no idea what he's talking about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Forbidden fruit:
I'm having the exact same problem on my S3, it started like last week or so, it was when i just downloaded a new game and while i was in midgame, i had my first flickering experience, so i freaked out and removed the battery and put it back, it didnt work for the first time but it worked in the second one, so i deleted the game thinking that it was the source of the problem but NOO, the flickering and freezing kept appearing anytime anywhere, it happened to me while on facebook, watching a video on youtube, browsing on Google chrome, using the camera, and literally tons of other stuff, so i looked for a solution online and came across that updating the firmware could solve the problem, so i updated my 4.2.2 to a 4.3, and guess what, i had the screen flickering like 2 mins after the update i knew that factory resetting it won't also fix the problem and i have even done the battery spin test to see if it was a battery problem but it wasn't my battery was perfectly flat and unspinnable, i even compared it to my brother's battery to see if there's a size difference but it was okay. I am now so desperate and frustrated i tried EVERY SINGLE thing that could might have fixed the problem, the problem only appears when i use my phone for like 30 mins or plus (Most of the times it's random) so PLEASE if anyone has a solution for this problem be kind and help a brother in need.

[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
So, in my journey of rooting, upgrading, attempting to root again, failing, unlocking, flashing, etc, I'm wondering if my observation directly relates with why root works for some people after the upgrade, but others who seemingly do the same thing have a "half" root, meaning, apps no longer have root access, but you can still get it via ADB with a "adb shell and then su - root"

My quick and dirty story is:

I was on ICS .30 all lock and stock, and rooted, using debugfs method...

I took the update to JB

Everything seemed OK until I did a data wipe to resolve a looping problem

After that, I had "half root" and couldn't get it back to where apps had access to it, despite the fact I backed up with OTA rootkeeper...

Here is my guess - my superuser install was NOT in the /system/app directory. I installed straight from the market, and it worked just fine on ICS, but when JB came out, and permissions, particularly to /data were redone, it broke me.

However, others used different methods for getting superuser into their device. I'm wondering if those that had no trouble at all had superuser installed in /system/app, and survived the OTA, while people like me did not.

I did try to simply move the suerpuser.apk to /system/app after making the mount read-write, but it gave some kind of "cross link" error and refused. Anyway, perhaps someone will read this prior to update and take precautions, and perhaps survive the OTA.
[Transformer TF300T General] rickykemp:
i'm guessing that you didnt have 'OTA Survival' checked in the superuser settings.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Can't remember but certainly possible.
[Transformer TF300T General] Ashcunak:
do you have a binary in /usr/we-need-root i had to run that binary via adb to get UID0 and than re mount /system/ partition as RW vs RO and copy the same binary there to /usr/sbin/su
[Transformer TF300T General] theBOZman:
I am still on ICS. I rooted with debugfs. Root check came back successful last night. now I have a half root today.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

And I have a 300TL so I cant switch out my ROM version because I dont want to loose the LTE driver. I just need to root to get Ubuntu running on it.
[Transformer TF300T General] Reilly1812:
I had similar problem. had root for every app until i removed the app. installed apps kept root but could not install any new apps with root. had to manually update the su binary. fortunately i still had root with es file explorer and could copy it into system/bin.

i was locked and stock rooted.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Transformer TF300T General] theBOZman:
if I re-run debugfs, it goes all the way through. and gets root remotely.[frustrated]

And to top it off, since I have a 300TL, the firmware is an oddball build. 9.44.45.3

root OTS keeper says that the device is rooted, but that the app can't gain root access. No other root checker app even gets that far. WTF?
[Transformer TF300T General] johnjohnjohnson:
i'm in the same situation as you, can you help me and and let me know which files need to get copied and from where to where? the help is appreciated.
[Transformer TF300T General] Reilly1812:
my searches turned up this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34197309

follow the first post. perform the download of the su binary. extract it. it creates folders and stuff you don't need. just copy the su file and paste it on top the the existng su in system/bin. make sure the permissions are as the post indicated.

root notifications and prompts for root access should start working again.

this process works if you have at least one app that will give you root. I always have system mounted r/w in es file explorer so that's not an issue.

good luck!

[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
If you have an existing such in system, you should be able to access root via adb. Simply type such at a prompt and you'll get a # prompt, meaning root.

if you can log as root in adb shell why dont just push su executable and chmod +x it manually from it?

Hi guys,

I've tried flashing CM10 (fxp 134 and fxp 135), but after I give the command to reboot in the terminal, my phone just shows the fxp logo. Doesn't go in CWM recovery when I'm pushing te volume button. Anybody any idea why this is? Flashing CM9 works just fine.

I've always used the volume down for recovery, always worked. The wiki also says it's the volume down button. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Neo:_Full_Update_Guide

Used the back key, and at first it didn't work (rebooting from computer), phone shut down again.

But then I put it back on and tried again, and it works, thanks guys!

Yeah, I flashed the kernel :)

However, I've got some problems with wifi now, which shouldn't be, I read in developers forum that wifi should work.

Also, CWM was kind of unstable. Screen went from left to right when I was navigating the menu.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
That is a known UI bug for the recovery, it still works.

As for wifi, do a fresh install.

Flash rom

Flash gapps

factory reset clear cache etc

flash kernel

reboot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Lashkopivo:
Did that, didn't help. There were a few other bugs too I didn't come across in the developers section (but I can't post there), for example google now was not working very well.

Flashed back to CM9 for now, but I will try again when the fxp136 is released :)

I liked JB a lot though.

If you are boot loader unlocked (I assume you are because you are talking about recovery), flash the PH98IMG.zip attached to the OP in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339679

Stick it on the root of your external SD and reboot bootloader.

That will install amon ra without fast boot. Super easy.
