When the phone dies due to battery drain it causes data loss - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hi,
Whenever my phone dies due to battery drain I lose contact information, texts and application settings and other settings.
It has been happening off late. It was fine some months back.
I am on 2.3.5 and my phone is still under warranty. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Never heard of anything like that before. Anyway try flashing a new firmware 2.3.6. GB and give it a shot.. If the issue still persists, a service Centre is the best option..

Try simple things to minimise battery drain like alway turn off wifi, 2g, 3g. Use it only when its required. Other time turn it off. Flash xxkpq firmware & use UC kernel. Also tweaks & governers will help u alot. Also sync of mail do it manually. Auto sync always take ur battery like hell.

Dude the problem here is the loss of data after (maybe) reboot.. Battery drain is not the issue..
So the best way to check if it is a hardware issue or not is to flash a new firmware.. No mods required...
And she's obviously new here so let's keep it simple.. Flash guides and the links to download the required roms in the stickies section..

I read recently that turning off journaling can cause data corruption/loss. are you running stock, or customized? some customized roms turn off journaling for better performance...
in addition, for better apparent performance, some roms also increase read ahead/write ahead or something like that. if you were doing something when your phone dies (and is unable to shutdown properly because you pushed it to the max), it can die in the middle of reading or writing, and especially in the case of writing, likely will cause data corruption/loss.
so, once again, let us know if you're running stock or custom, and why you insist on killing the battery while using the phone instead of shutting it of at 1% or 2% to prevent this from happening anymore

Mam.,
It is advisable not to let the battery die.use apps such as juice defender, if ur problem persists go to the service center

I will try this today. Do you think I should try a factory reset as well and see if that helps?

But I can't keep preventing my battery to run out. Why should a battery drain erase data? Obviously the problem is worse than just battery draining.

I don't wait for the battery to drain. When my battery is a little less than half at night, I wake up to find my phone turned off with the battery run out. And all of the mentioned data erased.
I have stock rom. Should I just update my fw to 2.3.6 and see?

A likely scenario here, which also occurred to me was that when kept overnight, the phone restarts automatically and gets into a boot loop (stuck at the samsung logo, and reboots over and over) thus draining the battery of whatever charge is left. And then once you switch it back on all personal data is erased, including settings, except installed apps.
What firmware are you using? This is surprisingly a very common issue nowadays, happens to many on GB, I have not heard of this happening on froyo as yet, but you never know! I myself have given in my handset for a motherboard replacement due to this!
So the issue might not be battery drain, just keep it unattended for a while and you will see its behavior! (Or wake up in the middle of the night! )

Well till now all those facing the problem couldn't solve it even with multiple wipes/firmware installs, so best bet is the service center, insist on a MB replacement on the 2nd visit, because the 1st time they will just do a firmware flash.
Make sure you are on Indian firmware DDKP1/KP2 with no trace of root including superuser and CWM.

that's different
your issue is not a loss of data due to battery dying, it's due to a hardware malfunction. take it to sammy!

same problem with me.. i heard its from the motherboard and internal memory.. i was using xxkpm then... At night i turn on wifi to update my apps on market.. its good, everything was updated, but tomorrow morning when i woke up i found my phone dead, so i charge it and when i open it, i was surprise to see that its asking me to pick a language again.. and yeah, all my contacts are gone, the messages, and the settings.. I thought its because of some apps that is update.. so i uninstall all my apps and then factory reset. but still same things happen everytime my phone is idle for awhile.. i also tried to flash xxkpq but same thing happens.. i still have warranty but is it ok if i go to samsung center with XXKPQ? or should i flash again to a lower version like 2.2.1??

[Q] ICS builds and battery life.

Why is that all the ICS builds that I have tried burn through the battery VERY fast? Am I installing them right? I follow the directions to the letter.
have u let the roms settle? by this i mean going through at least 3 charge cycles without a reboot, before judging battery life? if u haven't done this then u can't really judge until u do
So theres a settling in period? I didnt know that.
yup, 3 full charge cyclss is the generally accepted rule. If u just flash and use, i guarantee ur gettin crap life. The rom needs to configure battery based an ur usage basically

So by 3 cycles is charge to 100% then drain to 0?

yessir, that is correct
I had a problem installing SKY-ICS where when I clicked camera or gallery it would say "Media Scanner Running" and then close. This sucked because I couldn't use the camera and it would leave a service open Media Storage. That service would drain all my battery and heat up the phone until I did a force stop. I don't really believe you would need to do 3 full cycles, just check your battery usage under settings and see what is eating the most battery.
I had the same media scanner issue. Tried 4 different ICS Roms over a week with similar results. I was burning about 25% / hour, so I had plenty of opportunity to run through full cycles. Couldn't get MS to shut off. Finally bailed and went back to stock unrooted today. MS hasn't been over 2% since. I really like ICS, but like my battery more.

I tried. I slowly added apps back one by one, and never restored data. Formatted ext. SD, moved files from internal, etc. Thought I had it fixed once after changing email from push to an interval. Media server immediately stopped running, but started again a few minutes later.
I think I've devoted 2-1/2 days of the last 7 to wiping, flashing, and restoring. Finally had to cry uncle before I get fired. I'm sure someone here can make it work, but it's got me beaten. I'd feel a lot better if I at least knew what was making media scanner run.
Awesome battery life so far with sky ICS

sounds like u didn't fully wipe emmc, just move files from it. Since u tried everything else, humour me. Backup both onto computer then thoroughy format emmc and external sd in cwm. Mount usb storage and copy over sky ics 4.1. Flash it. Download some apps from xda and market and monitor for a few hours.

wipe battery stats in cwm does nothing, its a myth bud. Just charge to 100% and drain to 10% or less before next charge, try yo do it without a reboot. Reboot after 3/or 4 and u should be golden

[Q] Force Close Issue After Going Back to GB from ICS

Ever since I switched back to GB from ICS (had to, needed WiFi Calling) every GB rom I install has a bunch of problems. Yes, I followed the directions for going from ICS back to GB to the T and at first didn't have any problems. And yes, when I install a GB rom, I follow the dev's instructions to the T. So, it's not that. But anyway, the problems I'm having are:
Phone automatically reboots for no reason sometimes
After phone resets itself, I power it back on and the battery drops to around 1% (when before it reset itself I could be on a full charge, or close to it)
I get many, many "Force Close" popups for different apps and system processes (ex. "The application Google Services Framework (process.com.process.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly" and when I go to open SMS I get, "The application Messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly." And many other "Force Close" messages, GMail, etc.
Camera will not open
I've tried different GB roms (octane, vahalla -the different versions) so it's not just one rom.
I've tried fixing permissions, wiping dalvik cache, rebooting and other little things. I'm definitely stuck.
Again the problems started after going back to GB from ICS.
*Any help would really, really be appreciated!! :good:

Sounds like a battery issue. Does any of this stuff happen while it's plugged into USB?
Might be but the method he used was for the old Gingerbread, not the latest Gingerbread.

True, true
Don't restore the data for apps you backed up
This same scenario has happened to other people and so far they were battery issues. When you think about, all the battery problems make sense since most of the phone are nearing the 2 year old mark. If you were a heavy user in that time and charged your battery frequently then more than. Likely you have a dead cell in the battery. I went through all of the troubleshooting when I was having the exact same problem and never even thought about the battery until I did a battery pull and just so happened to sit the battery on a table and wobbled. So I inserted the battery from my wife's vibrant in and the problem went away.

Strange Issues with my Infuse

I've never had any major problems with my Infuse since I got it.
The battery is getting weaker but I bought a 2600Mah USB Backup Battery and that gives me another 7-8 hours for about 13-14 hours of use.
To make a long story short, I unlocked for use in Mexico City on TelCel and had some issues, so I returned the phone back to stock, unrooted.
Since that point however, while it would occasionally freeze before, its become a daily thing now and really bothersome because I can't even stop audio from playing via bluetooth. The touch screen becomes unresponsive and only a soft reboot or a hard reboot (removing the battery) returns the phone to a useful state.
It seems I have to do is every couple of hours now though, so I am posting here to get some suggestion on how to fix it.
Its been two years already since I got it so I am eligible for a new phone, but this one continues to work well besides this issue.
Thanks

1. your microSD may be going bad
2. if you haven't done so, back up all your stuff and try a factory reset...this may erase all existing info and bring the phone back to day#1

I mentioned that in the post, I did it while in Mexico City. It worked fine until this week, late last week. The battery only gives me about 5 hours now with just 32% audio playback and about 10% web access.
I guess I'll order a Anker battery from Amazon.
I rooted the phone again last night but before I did that, the phone became unresponsive three times in an hour. Which microSD card are you talking about? I just bought a 32GB Class 6 card and that works fine, I play all my audio from it, no problems.
If you mean the internal microSD card, that could be possible. I assume I can crack open the phone and replace this easily?
I should mention it never does that while plugged into a power source, so maybe this is all battery related.
Possible Fix...
When I had to hard reboot the phone again this afternoon, a little forced closed window came up for TwLauncher.
After rebooting the phone I looking at Titanium Backup and cleared the cashe from TwLauncher and that seems to have solved the problem.
Somebody on here mentioned that after installing a ROM they had the same problem, was worth a try.
I will report back if the issue returns.

My personal beliefs are that TB is good for causing a lot of problems.I used to use it,even bought pro,but even not restoring data when restoring apps I seamed to develop odd quirks or problems on about any ROM. Since not using it have much fewer problems.I am sure many people love it and think it's great, just thought I would give my $0.02
if your battery holds a charge...that is, it's letting you run the phone for more than several hours, it's unlikely to be the battery.
lags are usually due to apps misbehaving, media scan, wakelocks and wifi bugs...there are some others.
a factory reset ...complete reset..complete stock..will let you know if you have hardware of software issues.

Thus far, that issue has not returned. Yes the battery holds a charge, but last only about 5-6 hours now, not 7-8 hours.
It seems it was a minor software issue. I did a factory reset, you keep missing that.
I did it in Mexico City (7 days ago).... Since that point and returning to the US, I have put my apps back on the phone. I had already updated to Gingerbread and it just reset to that.
I won't know more until I am out and about with my phone. I will be watching various auto racing events and don't plan on leaving the house this weekend.

No problem, I've never had a problem with TB. I updated the rom to a rooted version of the AT&T Gingerbread release so I could even use it... lol
The phone was rooted for Froyo, I downloaded the AT&T Gingerbread from Samsung via Kies when it was released and it remained rooted.
But resetting it back to stock, TB didn't work until I put the rooted rom on the phone.

Exactly...you had to use TB or another restore. If you used TB on froyo and restored on GB or vice versa, you may run into issues.
and ...sigh... I did not miss the fact that you stated that you had reset the phone. I just had doubts that you understood what I was trying to say...from inside the phone..under settings/privacy..there is a reset option. make sure everything you wanted is already backed up. reset it..then put it into download mode and use one of the odin or heimdall package and flash it back to complete stock...run it stock and dont back up anything. download only apps from the play store or side load the apps if you had the apk's.
check the battery use to see if you have wake locks or android OS or android system eating up for battery..then you will know

Well like this, I will not go into the details but somebody else put Swipe Lock on the phone and of course I didn't know what he put into the phone. I was trying to resolve data issue on TelCel.
I had to do a hard reset outside of the operating system. Since the ROM was already upgraded to Gingerbread but unrooted, it went back to its unrooted state meaning I couldn't use TB.
So I re-downloaded apps from my memory. All of them are free so it wasn't an issue, just time consuming.

See above.
I used download mode to get out of Swipe Lock. I never used Swipe Lock, a-hole wanted to charge me 120 pesos ($7) to wipe it and put it back to stock, I wasn't going to do it, I know enough about Android phones to do it myself.
Oh well, lesson learned, I believe wiping the cashe from TwLauncher has solved the problem.
I did re-install all the apps from the store. I wasn't able to use TB until Thurs night (5/16). I noticed the errors Friday afternoon, wipe the cashe and no issues since.

[L 5.0.1 ]Enormous battery problem

Im experiencing a huge problem with battery...
First the battery drain is too big to be real 100 to 0 for like an hour of browsing...
What is more is that when the battery gets like 30% the phone sometimes just shuts down like and acts like the battery is fully drained and the only way to turn it back on is to connect it to a charger first and when i turn it on its on 0% battery.
I'm running all stock, no rom, not even unlocked, I sideloaded both 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 updates.
Here is some screenshots, could it be a bad 5.0.1 update?
Have you done a factory reset yet?
What happens if you charge it when its off?
Welcome to the club
It charges normaly, just like I have let the battery die to 0%. Other then that it charges preeeetty fast ... Too much if im not overreacting
Haven't done factory reset....thats the reason for not flashing it, didnt want to lose data..

Well, it could be hardware but best thing to do is rule out.software so best bet would be to factory reset after backing up your data. Maybe even flash back to stock.

The reason behind not flashing already etc etc is that i dont wanna lose my warranty. That leaves me with factory reset and nothing else for solving it? Should I just copy all my storage to PC or should I use some application for the backup?

Where did you buy it?
Backup with something like carbon and yes, copy your sdcard to pc if you need to keep it.

You'd need to reset the flag then afterwards. Its all covered in the flashing stock guide in general > sticky roll-up. Not saying you should do it, just letting you know. Though after you factory reset i would recommend you probably just contact the company and let them fix it.
I guess I will have to unlock, root and flash my Nexus to see if this will help.
Can u advise me with a stable and low battery drain ROM and Kernel eventually ? I'll need to seach a full guide on unlocking rooting flashing I guess
If it's new, go and get a replacement. If it's not you may change your battery. It does not look like a wakelock or another issue. It looks like a hardware issue much more.
Actually, I do have the same problem as OP. I'm thinking of going back to 4.4.4.
Facebook app is draining a lot, Disable Service and disable the fitness services within Google Play Service, and disable unneeded syncs.

I had the same problem with mine, I used the nexus root toolkit to get back to 4.4.4 and it fixed my battery issue completely, I'm now at 23hours with 36 percent left. On 5.0 it lasted about 8 hours if I didn't use it, good luck.
Flashed Cyanogenmod 11 latest for hammerhead, problem persist... I'll do some more testing and If I cant get it right I guess I will send it back for repair after reseting the flag...
If anybody has any ideas or same problem, share info
I'm having the exact same problem...
I updated to 5.0 when the OTA was sent out OTA but then sideloaded 5.0.1 two weeks ago.
Since then I've been experiencing the same shut downs where the phone thinks the battery is dead. If I leave the phone off for a minute or two, restart it and then leave it for a few hours, the battery level slowly increases back up to what it actually is.
I'm guessing it's a software issue but I'm losing patience waiting for 5.1 to cure it.
I'm now thinking of downgrading back to 4.4.4 till 5.2 comes out. Very frustrating!
What voltage is actually at when this happens? You guys should track voltagr at full charge, and empty when this happens.
The new baseband / modem firmware from lollipop caused massive drains for me. You may want to flash 4.4 baseband.

Help: Android system consuming 90% overnight... in deep sleep. Battery down by ~15%

I did a complete charge last night before I hit the sack. Battery was around 96%, today morning 80%!
I flashed stock ROM using TWRP, on first charge cycle battery is fine - just 1% overnight drain with 8 hrs SOT. On second charge cycle this issue hits me everytime.
All my radios are usually off (WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Data).
My phone seems to be in deep sleep a good portion of that time (See WLD statistics - attachment #1).
Android system sucks my battery during sleep and it was at 90% relative consumption when I woke up (See screen shot #1, Android sys has consumed 1840mAh!! This is ridiculously high for a phone that is apparently in Deep Sleep!)
Also attached screen shots from WLD for Summary, Kernal / Partial wakelocks & Alarms.
Device is rooted.
Going crazy trying to find out what's happening.
This happened with KangVIP and my current B180 ROM's which have great battery life as reported by other users here .
After you flased the ROM did you factory reset?

Just wanna note here that if you live in the US the huawei erecovery does not work. It tries to fetch a download link for 5 minutes before abandoning. Even in stock firmware
Today when I woke up, Android system was @ 92% relative consumption with 15% drain.

No, after flashing I have not performed a factory reset. I wiped before flashing.

Thanks. Got it.
Will try a factory reset before I sleep tonight and see how that goes.
Yeah, have massive Android system drain too.

This is an unacceptable level of drain. I get similar numbers. This is getting very annoying. I am spending hours just debugging this nonsense.
When did you install / reset your ROM? What is the build you are on? I have read some posts that suggest to let the system be for first few days since it is in a "Learning Phase". Mine is currently in that phase.
Also, I find that many users here are not facing this issue on the ROM's that I am on, but some users are. I have faced this in multiple different ROM's.
Hence, I suspect this is an issue of some setting that we have changed. This is the first thing I do after reset / flash - modify a bunch of settings.
After searching and reading a lot, I have not come across any solid solutions from anywhere.
Here's a solution from the other thread. But I don't have this in system/apps. So this goes down the drain.

Couple others that are worth mentioning,
1. WiFi causing the drain (Am currently debugging this, modifying options).
2. Format SD card on new ROM, or just remove it (Would be great if you could try this out).
3. Factory reset has not solved for most people, but for some. (Did they *not* tweak some setting after reset?)
4. I think much of this drain is experienced after, charging and during sleep after that!

I'm on stock B192, been there for a few weeks now... didn't factory reset after the update, didn't have this issue during the first few weeks. Just recently. I haven't modified anything out of the ordinary.

What value do u have for WiFi -> Advanced -> Keep WiFi on During sleep?
I had the battery drain till last night. Before sleeping I charged it completely, and modified this WiFi setting. Overnight I had only 2% drain as compared to +15% over last few days.
Battery looks good for now. I had the feeling that my WiFi is consuming more power than 4G (Need to verify if I am right). Currently observing.
I hope it is not one of those sporadic issues!

I presume u have been facing this issue at least over past few days now, not just a day or two.
Try toggling to Never. Recharge to full before you hit the sack. Lets see if that changes anything. This helped me, but need to observe for multiple consecutive days.

Will do tonight, thanks for the advice.
If you not absolutely needed, switch OFF Google synchronisation. Profiles - Menu - uncheck auto synchronisation.

That's one of the first few things I disable. Nor do I use backup.
The battery drain is back. Disappeared for just a couple of days.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this issue?
I would request you to do a back up of your apps and then factory reset and then again flash the ROM but via dload method.
Everything will be fine.
Then you can restore your apps
