Hello my name is cameron,
recently i bought a Samsung galaxy S mobile phone and it has recently started freezing during calls, the call will stay active but my phone will have to be hard restarted (removing the battery), the screen will just go black, also the battery runs down slowly even when its plugged in and switched on, it eats away the battery a percent every 30 seconds when its unplugged which gives it a a run time of less then an hour, i cant cope with it anymore, its getting slower every day, the battery life has gotten ridiculous, any ideas?
thankyou for reading this and i hope you will get back to me soon.
I would start with a factory reset.
tried it, hasn't made a difference, i know now its a hardware issue just checking with you guys in case this has happened before, thankyou anyway.

Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (even now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
HELP PLEASE!?
power shortage?
Has there been any kind of problems with your electric house system? that happened to me once, and it was due to a power problem at my house, it basically blew off my battery. Forget about battery pulls. Go to a store and ask them to lend you a battery for a second. If it powers on fine, it's the battery. If it doesn't i think you should get yourself a new phone, or try to get it fixed at the customer service. Sorry for the bad news man...
Nope, no problems with electricity, and neither of the 2 batteries will work!
Hi all, I've had my HTC chacha for a year and a half. Fot the first year it worked smoothly but last six months turned into a nightmare. It started with problems with charging which today also exist. The phone doesn't charge even if it has been charging in excess of 10-12 hours overnight. Instead the percentage is decreasing until it reaches 0% percent to turn off. I overcame this problem by taking out battery and placing it back. After turning on phone again, it signalized fully charged.
What makes phone unusable is that the it constantly automatically restart itself. Usually it restarts when using applications like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Viber or when I'm viewing a website on Opera. At first I thought it has something to do with internet but now it also restarts typing regular text messages or using camera.Tthe screen suddenly switches off and it restarts. When the phone comes back on, the battery indicator is down to 0% but after a few minutes goes back to the normal level it was (i.e. 65%).
The most interesting thing is that, while plugged for charging, I can use all this apps without restarting.
As i know that there is no isolated problem for one costumer, i suppose there is someone else who faced this proble. Also, I hope there is someone who can help me with it, I'm really frustrated not being able to use the phone regularly.
The phone is on its regular OS, never rooted. Did 2 factory resetes, didnt help.
Phone is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S1 (technically a Captivate something or other, 897 or somesuch?) which has one of those PacROM sets for android 4.4 on it. (I will post exact specifics if needed in followup but the battery is dead AGAIN thanks to this)
For several months now the phone has started turning itself on at varying times. Sometimes its the same time every night, then maybe it will change to a different time later. I've seen it happen (having been sitting awake late at night to see it bling on in the charger surprising me) and can't figure out how - nothing is changed vs when it wasn't doing this before. I know it's doing it all the time now because my battery keeps ending up DEAD when I shut the phone off fully charged for when I later need it, only to find all the sudden it's on zero yet again.
There are no set alarms of any kind waking it up, i'm not aware of any PacROM feature and didn't set or change ANYTHING. The phone worked fine the first 9 months before starting to act wierd. I've installed next to nothing on the phone since then either.
When the phone powers up it doesn't do anything at all - just sits at the main menu and drains battery until it has no battery left. It doesn't act like it's loading anything, or doing virus stuff or that. If I catch it in the middle of a powerup and take the battery out, it wont retry that night though.
How do I narrow down what is happening or causing this to occur??
So I made sure to look it up but couldn't find anything so here I am.
Anyways I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (I747) rooted and running Slim OS, but I haven't done any mods or customizations in awhile. The battery was getting low so I, of course, plugged it in, but it was still dying, which isn't strange, it occasionally does that, so I just let it die. After awhile I turned it back on and it was on 6% and after awhile 5% now I thought it was strange since I wasn't doing anything too power demanding and my charger is a good charger, then at 2% the screen turned off and wouldn't turn and I even tried holding down the power button thinking it might've turned off but that didn't work, I left it charging and even took out the battery and that didn't work and then I noticed that the charging screen didn't even pop up whenever I plugged in the charger. Now fearing my phone is messed up I took out the SD card and put into my Samsung galaxy camera 2 and the battery started going down quicker than usual, it was at 58% and after like 10 minutes went down to 32% and then it shut off like my phone, but unlike my phone, my camera is unrooted running stock android. Please help
Or the SD card could be causing problems.

Quick update
So my camera turned back on and it now works, although I rooted it and now theres some problems, but this isn't the right section for that, but anyways, when I plug my phone up it does get warm unlike the first day, so I assume it is actually charging
I have a P900 that was left in a drawer for 2 or 3 years, never getting charged even once in all that time. Turning it on, I immediately realized something was wrong because it took forever to boot. The lock screen was so slow that the entire machine locked up for a few seconds, scrolling between pages on the launcher stuttered hard or locked up and everything else with the machine was generally the same. The web browser is unusable, even typing in a URL locks things up. The device is unusable.
So I thought the battery was obviously damaged, even charged at 100% it would be flat for sitting for maybe 2 hours with the screen off. I tried several cycles of charging to 100% then discharging and back up, but nothing seems to help. I don't have much money so I took at stab in the dark and got a cheap battery from ebay and it didn't help. I don't know if this battery is new, but it does seem to hold a charge like the device did when it was new but it's just still so slow that you can't use it.
However, one thing that I've noticed is that apps that don't touch the storage seem to work OK. I have a Spectrum TV app that once it starts up seems to be okay, but not great. Netflix seems to be okay as well after starting up. They both stutter a bit and rarely freeze. I don't know if this is relevant at all.
I'm at a loss of what else could be damaged or how to fix this. I'm in the process of cycling this new battery up and down, though I don't know if this would actually help. I just don't know how to diagnose this problem.
Okay, the problem was the battery, it just took a few hours of charging. I guess now that it can see it has a fully functioning battery that it's running as it should now. Android really should give you an error message about that instead of just slowing the whole thing down to a crawl, leaving you scratching your head.
This strange thing happened to me also.
I was given a tablet that was not in use couple of years. It takes about one hour on charger to start booting at all, I was thinking that it don't working at all.
Then it sits on Samsung Note Pro logo about 15 minutes, then logo changed to Samsung and it took about 15 more minutes to boot in home screen.
Then i realized that it's very slow and unresponsive, I charged it to full and reset, but it's remain the same, very sluggish.
Tried everything, reset it couple of times, flash rom with Odin, nothing helped.
After couple of charge-discharge cycles it starts to work like new!
I would never have thought that the battery could do that, but there it is.
