[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S3P3HR:
The most advanced app I can think of is battery monitor widget pro which can show you energy flow in mA per ( by default every 10min ) . A stock i9100 has a 1650 mA .However I don't think it can explain dropping in energy like that . No battery saving app will resolve this issue . There are some battery calibration apps around . I don't know what they exactly do ...

I have an i9100 . There has been some " Episodes " when I shut down , remove the battery and re-enter , turn on and see unexpected drops in the juice but the most extreme was dropping from 38 to 15 . Never when running android .

When phone gets superhot for not reason it sure is using alot amount of battery . I would suggest a factory reset or changing rom/recovery .

Plus I would like to know do you experience a crash ( after going dark you simply turn on the device again ) or drain battery ( which your device wont turn on until its in charge for a few seconds/minutes ) .

If everything fails I would be suspicious about mainboard .

----------------------------

On a second Look I suspect the gap you are seeing in the battery is a state when you experience a crash which loads the cpu that uses juice enough that android is running to record the gap but not functional enough to respond which result in something like the image above . I don't believe the battery can go from 70 to 0 then when you connect to a charging point you gain 50-ish % battery in a jiffie . When I think back I can say I had battery stats like that and my phone still is without issues ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcgahon:
It's not getting super-hot any more. I think that was down to an old battery. What confused matters somewhat was it still got super-hot with the replacement (non-genuine) battery, which after a month or two was actually buckled out of shape. The phone was running Samsung ROM then.

Since then, have installed CyanogenMod and genuine Samsung battery and it's better behaved in general. Just these occasional crashes or whatever they are.

When it goes black, it won't turn on again, until after the phone is plugged in for a minute or two. Then it will turn on and report much higher than zero battery. It could still be some kind of looping crash where the screen is black but Android is still running. That wouldn't explain why it recovers when plugged back in though.

Since these issues are across 3 different batteries and 2 different ROMs, I'm tending to suspect that mainboard myself. And I don't trust any of the high-street phone repair places. They have two options for me: (1) sell me knock-off batteries, (2) replace mainboard.

The phone is still functional to an extent, it's just I can't rely on it. It's good for a half-day, after that I can out and about uncontactable and unable to take a snap photo or whatever on demand. Annoying!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
I have seen this pop up a few times now and also people getting others to solve it by adb side load etc. The process is a lot more simple AS WE HAVE THE GIFT OF AN EXTERNAL SD SLOT!

if you are in the position where you have inadvertantly wiped system in recovery without having a backup or rom zip on your internal sd then follow the steps below:

1, if you can boot into recovery, great

2, if you have an external sd with card reader for PC, great

3, power phone off and take out sd, put the sd in a micro sd adapter (not so micro sd anymore hey!!!) and then put this in your PC to copy across the rom file, drag and drop or copy and paste is fine, hey its a free world!!!!!!!

4, re-insert sd card into phone and reboot into recovery using power and volume down and in hboot screen go to recovery.

5, to make sure, do a full wipe of system, data anc cache/dalvik cache

6, flash desired rom and reboot

7, should have worked and saves time not messing around with adb sideloading

Sorry if this is a statement from the department of the blindingly obvious but I have seen this pop up loads and its a much simpler solution than adb sideloading :cool:

thank you !

(i did search google for those things and didn't find anything related)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
No, you can not. Unfortunately the bootloader on the Verizon version is locked. You can flash hashcode's safestrap (found in Android Development section), and then you can flash a variety of TouchWiz based customized Verizon ROMs, but that's it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clicker7:
ok thank you

can you explain little bit more ?

what do you mean the bootloader is locked ??

is there any chance it will be unlocked anytime ?

and if it will be unlocked than i will be able to use whatever rom i want ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
For an explanation of bootloader go here > http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Bootloader

Verizon and AT&T lock the bootloader on all of their devices. No official statement as to why, but there is a lot of conjecture. In the end, it doesn't matter why, really. Sad fact is that they do it.

Several of the best developers have tried, and failed to unlock the Note 3 bootloader.

There appears to be no one currently working on unlocking the bootloader on the Verizon Note 3.

If the bootloader was unlocked, then you could flash any custom ROM and kernel that was made for Note 3.

But as of today, you are condemned to use customized variations of the Verizon Touchwiz ROM and stock TW kernel.

Most of the threads here are about replacement screen in US. I live in Switzerland and have suffered the broken screen from less than 1 feet off the ground :crying:

Can anyone advise me on where I could possibly get my screen replaced? Or should I just buy a screen off the bay and do it myself? Or is the screen + frame option better for DIY repair?

Thank you for your time and help.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I suppose if you want to keep warranty in tact, you'd send it to LG to replace, or one of their service centres. Probably worth contacting them and asking for advice initially.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthiks:
That was my thought initially. Unfortunately, Switzerland doesn't have LG service for Nexus 5. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I would still contact them for advice initially. You must have warranty, so therefore they must be able to advice how to replace the screen without voiding it, surely?

What are my options now to get the phone back ? I'd rather now reset, wouldn't that make me lose stuff on the built in 16gb partition ? (i.e photos)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nellyboy555:
This just happened to me.. Good thing I made a backup before.. If you did also or still have a rom on your SD card follow these instructions for the future..

Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off or do a battery pull.

Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.

Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’

Go down to yes on hard reset... Press power button once, and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb152:
If I had a custom recovery I would have made a backup, trouble is I'm on a European 855 with a locked bootloader, so waiting that be unlocked before i get twrp on there. I know there is a tethered method, but I'm in 2 minds whether to go down that route.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandabear:
Hi All

My phone is now stuck at the samsung logo when booting. I have done everything possible

1. Factory reset.

2. Wipe everything, and install new ROM

3. Use ODIN to flash new stock ROM

4. Lots of nandroid restore with different ROMs

etc

I have taken it to the service centre, and I was informed that the mother board is faulty. But he also told me warranty was void as the flash counter was incremented.

I cannot install triangle away as i cannot boot the phone. My phone works perfectly otherwise in recovery and download mode.

Is there any way to reset the flash counter from the recovery mode so that I can claim the warranty.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
If you've got an efs backup, go ahead and try a rescue firmware (multiple files, and pit, + repartition checked in odin).

I the efs gets messed up, restore the backup.

If that fails, game over, faulty unflashable motherboard.

thanks for the reply, sorry i've replied late, was travelling.

btw i have an efs backup, though not in the nandroid format. i have it as a file named efs_04Jan2014-1105.tar.gz.

how to restore it?, i guess efs is indeed messed up when i flashed the stock 4.3 rom.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constantG:
Hi,

I've been reading the other shutdown issue with interest from the start but I think that my particular issue is different and I'd like to know whether anyone else has my exact problem.

I'm using the o2 UK 16GB version 10A/234 and this is the problem:

When I reboot the phone and it gets to the lockscreen, if the network status is "disabled" on the lockscreen and I swipe to open, the phone shutsdown and can't be started again until I remove the battery.

If I wait for a couple of seconds when the lockscreen comes up, there is a little lag but the phone works as normal.

I can replicate this issue over and over again, so it is not a random occurrence AND this is the second handset that I have had where this exact problem is present.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NtotheO:
I'm facing the same issue. Is your device rooted?

At first every (re)boot without being connected via usb to a charger or a computer would result in a shutdown shortly after I enter my pin. After a day of usage I cannot reproduce it anymore, although it still happens from time to time, for example yesterday when I tried to send a text while having very bad to no reception. When it happens I also have to remove the battery or hook it up to a charger, otherwise the buttons/screen would not respond..

I'm thinking there is a (firmware) problem with the chipset since it always happens when my phone is trying/strugling to connect to the mobile network. I installed an app which constantly writes logs to my sd, hopefully that will give me more information about what's causing the problem..

Are you also having bad reception when the device shuts down? My previous device (iPhone 5s) had normal reception in my house, incl. a stable 3G connection, always 2-3 bars of 5. The LG G3 is constantly strugling with the connection to the network and often switches to "emergency calls only"..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Dutch:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] constantG:
This happens rooted non-rooted, stock (no added apps) and always whilst connecting to phone network. Are you on same variant as me and if you leave it for a moment before putting in your pin does it then work ok?.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NtotheO:
Yes I'm on the same variant. Still running the 10A firmware.

Sometimes it works, but I will do some more test this evening after work and see if I can reproduce it every time and hopefully get some usable logging too.

Try copying all your pictures from external to internal sdcard for a

have a slow external sdcard, after copying the pictures remove the

I have Qtek s200 IPL/SPL = 2.09.0001/2.15.0001.

The phone does not boot into windows because it crashed from previous flash. Now it only goes to bootloader (tri colour)

the problem i'm having right now is that during the upgrade flashing process (with dopod's no vendor id), the phone would shut off at random places, the screen just fades out (instead of suddenly turning off). Sometimes, this fade out happens at the tri colour bootloader stage right after i plug the usb cable in. other times it fades out when the flashing process is around 40%, or 10%, it's all random.

can someone explain to me why is it like this? and how do i fix this? The phone did work before.
