Hey everyone, thanks for looking at this and hopefully helping me out. I'm new to rooting my phone and installing new roms and stuff, but I researched about as much as I could for about a week before I even rooted.
Now I've moved on and installed a new rom (CM7). Before installing I used clockwork and formated the /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik. At first everything was ok, but after about 15 minutes it turned off. I read up on battery problems, so kept my phone plugged in all weekend (got up to 4.196V-ish, with 0mA in or out) then deleted the battery file, rebooted, unplugged the phone and let it drain completely (even while it still had a charge it would turn off randomly but I figured it would be ok). After it was completely drained I completely charged it again and it still randomly turns off.
At first I thought maybe it was just the rom, but no one else seems to have the same problem as me (that I can find), so I downloaded an ICS rom to try that. Same problems. So far I have done the following to try and find out WTF is going on...
Installed Elixr to see battery drainage (sitting at main screen doing nothing its roughly -8mA, but right after boot or opening a program it jumps to -300mA to -480mA)
Done NUMEROUS battery pulls (with and without deleting the battery config file)
Switched ROMS
Any help would be amazing
PS: Before rooting or flashing a new mod my phone would shut off on its own, but only once a week, maybe. Now it turns off as soon as I unlock my sim card. However, it doesn't turn off at all if I have it plugged in.

Well, if you were having this issue before the rooting took place, this very well may be hardware related. There are a few things I recommend before the dreaded unroot and send back to manufacturer route (assuming the phone is under warranty still). It's been proven or at least shown that battery calibration (the whole charge to 0Ma and then fully discharge and then recharge) is a pipe dream.
I would first say find out if the CM7 ROM you're using is OCing or UVing, while you may see some people OCing to 1.3 or higher and UVing -75, not all phones are created equal in capabilities and some phones will randomly freeze/turn off if they don't like your OC and UV settings. I would also suggest flashing a different ROM to see if this problem persists. Cleardroid is what I recommend just to get an idea if it is in fact a OC or UV problem as I believe cleardroid is set up to default stock settings.
You can also try a new battery, I have heard/read/seen that bad batteries can cause reboots. Again though if this was an issue you were sometimes experiencing before, you may have hit the tip of the iceberg on a hardware issue and its finally starting to show now. Hope this helps.

I guess the issue is with the battery itself. Try getting a new battery. I heard some guys experiencing the same and sorting things out replacing the battery....
Leave the charger plugged in. If it doesn't reboot then that will let you know most likely it is the battery.

That was my thoughts exactly. However, if the ROM or kernel or whatever is set to shut off the phone at a certain reading of discharge from the battery, ie -500mA, this could also be the problem.
I thought it could have been a problem with the phone as well, but before it would shut off on its own MAYBE once a month. 90% of those I attributed to overloading the phone, closing facebook, opening the internet, starting to load a webpage then open a new txt I just recieved while the phone was still vibrating type things.
Now it still feels like it's just quitting on me, it never turns off while the screen is locked or while its charging. So far after the new ROM it has shut off when I place a call, when I receive a call, clicking on a notification, opening the messaging app, clicking download in the market, and my favorite when I unlock it from sleep.
I will download a different rom right now and try it. Just to double check this is what I've been doing to install a new rom... I boot my phone into recovery (vol- and power), go to recovery from the boot screen (opens clockworkmod), scroll down to mounts and storage, have it format /system, /data and /cache, go back to wipe data/factory reset, then install zip from sdcard, select the rom and go... I know some roms require inspiremod, should I still install this if I'm USING an inspire??
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it
If it does turn out to be the battery or you just decide to get a new one to test it out. I recommend these, they are awesome and the only thing anyone should try besides HTC factory replacements. Good luck and I hope this works out for you.
Anker Batteries
i only skimmed this. but cleaning battery contacts can help also check the side door, sometimes that can cause issues as well. air can out everything and clean metal contacts with rubbing (ipa) alcohol.
So I installed cleardroid. Once again everything worked fine for the first 10-15 minutes and then the shutdowns started again, always when making the phone do something (unlocking, clicking a notification, opening a program, etc) but never when the phone is charging.
I'll clean off every bronze or gold contact I can find but I think I might be fighting a lost cause lol. Three different ROMS, all with the same problem leads me to believe its a hardware issue. Since all the chips in these phones are all small and use multilayer boards I won't be able to replace anything myself so I see a new phone in my near future.
Thanks guys!
If it doesn't do it when its chargeing then it is the battery. I had bought my inspire from someone and it was having those issues ordered a new HTC stock battery from newegg for like $12 and has been working perfectly since then and honestly if you want the best battery rom absolution is the rom you should check out. It's a non sense rom but again I'd just buy a new battery. I had mine timed it'd reset at 92% 74% and 49% xD

hmm, I would say try a new battery before getting a new phone. Worst case scenario is that you spent $15 to learn you need a new phone as opposed to spending $100+ on a new phone...this is of course assuming you want to keep the inspire and not just looking for a reason to get upgrade ahaha
I agree. It still sounds like a battery issue.
I would agree this definitely sounds like an internal short in the battery. Sounds like it's shutting off whenever it gets a significant load on it. Try a new battery first.
I had a similar issue though I was tweaking the CPU. Learned my lesson.

Yeah, Id bet money that its a bad battery. I had this same exact issue with my Inspire. If it shuts off more in low reception areas but it isn't shutting off when plugged in, its definitely the battery. I would try to find someone with an Inspire and try switching them batteries and see if it stops.
If I tried to use the flash with my camera, the phone would shut off. My phone would randomly reboot or turn off. ATT told me they had "some" bad batches of batteries. My phone was still under warranty so ATT sent me a new battery. All the problems went away!
The battery door on the Inspire becomes wonky the more you open it, I was having a problem like yours, new battery and new door has me going good.
Update 14/09/2012
Ok, I don't think what I had in mind helped. On 13th, I had multiple shutdown while trying to use cameras and today had multiple shutdown while on the phone to someone.
Think I will try doing something with Firmware next, now have a feel it might be the cause. I have no idea what is wrong, so just going to give with anything really. Will report back soon.
Update: 13/09/2012
After a complete drain the first time, by booting into recovery and bootloader (just want to remind everyone that this is because I can't make my phone boot). Then I left it on charging for the whole night, and I did this through wall charger NOT USB. I think I read it somewhere that they recommended this when calibrating your battery. Then the next day got 1 random shutdown, then I used it until it is completed drain again. Then followed by another full charge using wall charger. Today I have been using it for 6 hours and 21 minutes, haven't had a single problem. I don't know how not doing this would cause the phone to shutdown, but doing what I did seems to be working so far. I can actually rely on it for something now, say important phone calls.
Here was my reply to elvisypi:
Just to answer your question, it would random shutdown (not so much reboot) at anytime, at any battery percentage. I could do be doing anything, using any app, sometimes when I am not even using the phone.
I don't think it's a hardware/battery/ROM/kernel problem, I tried to say that it is a combined problem caused by flashing a phone too many times maybe or too often in a period of time. Also I was just about to update saying that calibrate battery does help. I had no reboot so far and this is only the second full charge and full drain I did.

Original post 11/09/2012
After reading kushXmaster's post (click here) about how to add an object to help the battery stay in position (or get better connection), I found evidence that my issue was different. Before anyone ask, yes I have tried kushXmaster's idea, and no it did not work for me.
Ok, this is what I found. I had this problem not only with my current phone (htc sensation) but also with my previous phone (htc desire). So now thinking about it, it can't be the hardware problem. Cos the same problem happening to 2 different phones is pretty unlikely, not impossible, but very unlikely. The other thing was that my phones (both) didn't do this at the start when it was new, and it has only been like this a few months later (since I rooted it). For those who already guessed, yes I believe it's the flashing phones which is messing it up. However I don't know the reason or understand what is wrong with the phone. I have tried wipe battery stats and calibration, nothing worked, the only thing I found was when I go back to Sense 4 roms the problem seems better, but it is still there.
The last and most important reason why I am don't think this is a battery or hardware problem, is that my phone boots into bootloader or recovery with no problem (no reboot or shutdown). But when i tell it to boot normally it decides it hates me and turns it self off.
I am currently experiencing this problem, my phone is in recovery and I am waiting for battery to drain completely. Then gonna do calibration from there, hopefully this will work. I will keep you guys updated. Also if anyone has suggestions please leave a comment, and also let me know if anyone else is in the same position, good luck!
If you want to drain your device battery faster or more nicer way put screen timeout to never and like this you can still use your phone normal and drain the battery aswell just a little tip

If I could get it to turn on then I have a lot of ways to drain it quickly, but like I said it won't boot without shutting down before I could do anything. I turn it on, and I see the lock screen then bam it is shut down again.

If you get random reboots, shutdowns, than don't even bother to calibrate the battery. It has nothing to do with the calibration. Tell us more info, how do the reboots happen, how often, what are you doing when it happens, etc. It could be a kernel/ROM problem, charger, battery, hardware. Pls give us more detailed info

Thanks for the tip, but tbh if i know all that I don't really need to be asking anyone. For example, if it is a ROM problem, i just change ROM. The problem is that I don't know the cause and it seems to be everything and anything, it will shut down at different length of time, sometimes when it just starts, others 30 seconds after boot has completed. I am not looking for a solution, I am more wondering what everyone else has experienced when they say they have random reboots or shutdown, because after tones of research no one has provided anything that fixes my problem.
Just to answer your question, it would random shutdown (not so much reboot) at anytime, at any battery percentage. I could do be doing anything, using any app, sometimes when I am not even using the phone.
I don't think it's a hardware/battery/ROM/kernel problem, I tried to say that it is a combined problem caused by flashing a phone too many times maybe or too often in a period of time. Also I was just about to update saying that calibrate battery does help. I had no reboot so far and this is only the second full charge and full drain I did.
I had a same reboot problem and tried the kushXmaster's trick with the business card and did not worked for me either, at the beginning…
There was no reboot or shutdown in bootloader mode in my device either. When I flashed new firmware and ROM the problem was gone, but only for few weeks. I tried multiple ROMs also, but always with the same result. This is why I was skeptic with the business card battery fix also.
But then I read kushXmaster's thread again and put an alu foil as shown by Shreyas Jani and pulled the ground pin as described by StuartTheFish. I still do not understand what happened, but my phone is working perfectly more than a month now, without restarts and shut downs. I do not know which solution helped (not sure if I placed a business card correctly before). But I do not want to experiment with this anymore. I did not even removed a battery cover since that time and I'm glad it is all working now.
Hope this helps.

I experienced exactly what you experienced, when i flash a new ROM it is ok for a while. Then just gets to the stage where it happens again. I also tried almost every single ROM I could find, only sense 4 seemed to help but still didn't solve this problem completely.
Thanks for the help, really useful. If what I am trying now doesn't work then what you suggested will definably be my next hope. Cheers!
Edit: I know what you mean, if it works that back cover is not coming off.
same as you
I experience now typically the same problem as yours.
Did changing firmware helped? And how to do this?
Hi guys.
First post, apologies if it is in the wrong place.
I was given a Motorola XT925 3 days ago, running what I can only assume is the most recent version of android (i tried updating it, and it claimed it was up to date). No SIM card in, no SD card.
All was well, until I noticed an app, "media" sucking 50% of the battery. It was killing me, so I did some extremely brief Googl-ing and arrived at the conclusion that a factory reset would be a sensible thing to do to nip the problem in the bud.
Unfortunately, my battery ran out half way through the reset (derrrrrrpppp), leaving my new phone semi-hard-bricked.
The loading icon will come on sometimes if it's put on to charge after some time off charge, and sometimes the stupid little robot even pops up, with a loading bar underneath him, and a tangled blue web protruding from his abdomen. He freezes a short time later.
The power and volume buttons are unresponsive, and the whole semi-booting pattern is erratic, but things seem to happen if I leave it off/on the charger all day.
I have a suspicion that my phone in it's current state has half the operating system un-installed, and will therefore not boot correctly.
Anyway I was hoping to get some recommendations for the most appropriate next step. I will be taking it to a nearby shop tomorrow, and see-ing if the people who sold it to the person that gave it to me can help...
I have read about "flashing" devices etc, and if the shop-people can't work it out, I'm probably going to give it a try. I am running a mac as well, so many flashing programs will probably be incompatible.
Thanks for the help
tl;dr: Motorola XT925 hard-bricked following complete battery depletion during factory reset. Wat do?

Thanks everyone.
Hiya,
I've got this issue for about two or three days now. Quite often, when I take a picture with stock Google camera app, my Nexus turns off instantly. Then, when I try to turn it on again, it often turns off again in about one minute and usually it shows almost empty battery (even though before shutdown it was nearly full).
First it has appeared on stock rooted 4.4.4, the phone tried to boot like 10 times, so I erased cache and dalvik via TWRP, but then it didn't detect SIM card and showed unknown baseband. I solved it by flashing bootloader and radio.
Then, I installed a stock 5.1.1, rooted it again (I thought it would solve the issue), but the same problem with camera occurred.
So, could it be hardware issue? How to debug it?
Thanks for any response.

Hi,
Probably not an answer you'll like, but I've experienced similar symptoms on my HTC Sensation with HTC "stock" android on it (phone turning off and then having much less - and sometimes MORE - battery-time left after booting again). I never had an answer as to how to troubleshoot it, nor did I get help (from HTC) to solve the issue until at some point I found that the battery itself wasn't seated properly, and after putting some paper between battery and case to put more pressure on it (which doesn't seem possible with the N5) the issue magically disappeared...
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090170&page=2 (not my topic btw)
Very recent N5 topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-random-shut-off-battery-drops-t3162481
A tip in that topic: "it doesn't happen when connected to power cord". Possibly you can try that to add it to the elimination-process?
Hope you can get it sorted!
First of all, If I am copying an already existing Post I am sorry for that but I think i found nothing similiar to my "weird" situation here.
Now to my problem (with a short intro tho) :
I had my OPO for a half year, when i decided to root it. When i did this, I was a total rookie, so I just followed steps/guides I've found in the Internet. I unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP-Menu and finally rooted my device. Everything went totally perfect for me and my device was running smooth and without any problems. But after some dirty- and some clean- updates(always only the cyanogen updates that were showen on my phone), my OPO randomly shut down. Earlier on, I made a Backup. So i wiped calvik&cache and thought i lost all my problems. But in the last weeks, new problems occured. So i started looking for them in the Internet. I found out, that i had a "bootloop"/ Softbrick on my phone. It randomly shut down and it sometimes felt like especially the standby-mode made my phone to go offline. After solving this problem aswell via a "zip" from the Internet that I installed via TWRP, my device was again stable for like two weeks. But then after a Night I faced a new Problem, my Phone was again offline. It shut down without doing anything from my side. I saw all indications for a hardbrick. So i tried to "rescue" my phone via the xda-guide. And randomly after plugging it into my pc via the usb-connection it rebooted. But this just created the newest and maybe biggest problem.
Right now: My phone shuts down after beeing in standby-mode for like 5minutes. Neihter my LED is blinking or anything else is happening. It has no Bootloop but sometimes I am again scared of having a Hardbrick.
For me as normal User, who just wanted to get more privacy on his phone, these Problems exceed my knowledge and that's why I posted my Problem here in this forum, full with people who might know how to fix this problem or even be experts in rooting mobiles.
P.S: Please excuse my bad english at some points. Try to overlook it )

Let me clear few of your terms
Bootloop : Your device spins on CyanogenMod logo
Hard brick : Your device won't even boot into recovery and when you press power button(10-15sec), it'll vibrate just once
Softbrick : Same as bootloop, but you can boot into your custom recovery like TWRP
The solution to all your problems is to flash fastboot/factory images of Cyanogen OS 12.1 (Tutorial link in general section). Make sure that you backup your internal storage.
Flash them and use it for 2 days, if you continue to face issues, quote me here or somebody else will help you on this board
Might be a hardware issue

I unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP-Menu and finally rooted my device. Everything went totally perfect for me and my device was running smooth and without any problems. But after some dirty- and some clean- updates(always only the cyanogen updates that were showen on my phone), my OPO randomly shut down. Earlier on, I made a Backup. So i wiped calvik&cache and thought i lost all my problems. But in the last weeks, new problems occured. So i started looking for them in the Internet. I found out, that i had a "bootloop"/ Softbrick on my phone. It randomly shut down and it sometimes felt like especially the standby-mode made my phone to go offline. After solving this problem aswell via a "zip" from the Internet that I installed via TWRP, my device was again stable for like two weeks. But then after a Night I faced a new Problem, my Phone was again offline. It shut down without doing anything from my side. I saw all indications for a hardbrick. So i tried to "rescue" my phone via the xda-guide. And randomly after plugging it into my pc via the usb-connection it rebooted. But this just created the newest and maybe biggest problem.
Right now: My phone shuts down after beeing in standby-mode for like 5minutes. Neihter my LED is blinking or anything else is happening. It has no Bootloop but sometimes I am again scared of having a Hardbrick.
For me as normal User, who just wanted to get more privacy on his phone, these Problems exceed my knowledge and that's why I posted my Problem here in this forum, full with people who might know how to fix this problem or even be experts in rooting mobiles.
P.S: Please excuse my bad english at some points. Try to overlook it )

I've had a similar issue arise in my OPO around a month back. The phone used to randomly switch off. In most cases it didn't switch on for around 10-15 minutes. I installed different roms, cleared data/dalvik .... you name it, I did everything, but the issue still persisted. I came to the realisation that it had to be a hardware issue. Took it to a service centre, where they confirmed it was an issue with the motherboard ( although initially they just flashed cm11 and handed it to me). So basically, my phone is with the service centre for the past 5 days and is awaiting the new part.
What I'm saying is, get it to the service centre as quickly as possible, if you're nearing the end of your warranty and get it analysed and fixed. Wish your OPO a speedy recovery

Let me clear few of your terms
Bootloop : Your device spins on CyanogenMod logo
Hard brick : Your device won't even boot into recovery and when you press power button(10-15sec), it'll vibrate just once
Softbrick : Same as bootloop, but you can boot into your custom recovery like TWRP
The solution to all your problems is to flash fastboot/factory images of Cyanogen OS 12.1 (Tutorial link in general section). Make sure that you backup your internal storage.
Flash them and use it for 2 days, if you continue to face issues, quote me here or somebody else will help you on this board

Thanks for the Information,
I really appreciate your Help. Just one question, is the backup that I can create via TWRP enough or should i backup everything seperatly?
And @p403nix, Thanks for your tip !!! That's a nice information, the only Problem about that is, that in my Homecountry the Oneplus Support is very terrible. I am in contact with the customer support tho, but I don't expect too much
