Hi Guys.
Hooray! My TF finally turned on again this morning after 1 and a half days of not turning on.
Is there any way to clear/reset/wipe battery stats without being rooted. As in previous posts, my TF thinks the battery is dead when I restart it even though it is either full or nearly full. Thought I would try and wipe the battery stats to see if that helps. I don't want to root as I may have to send back to ASUS and if I can't turn it back on again, then I can't unroot.
I haven't been able to turn on for a day and a half, nor could I get into APX mode. I did however get the large depleted battery flash on screen when trying to start up yesterday.
Didn't you get a replaced one?
Battery Stats can be deleted from CWM, but I don't know if there's another way of doing it if you're not rooted. Also if you've got a new device, I will suggest you run it a couple of times to see if it works as intended or not before deleting the stats...

Hi Azureus.
Unfortunately I couldnt get a replacement as the box it came in was somehow thrown out with the christmas rubbish, so they wont take it back. They will only send it off to Asus for me. Im not sure now whether to root and then wipe stats, Just worried it wont come back on at all.

IIRC someone else posted something similar a while back.
Try a factory reset before you do anything else.

Do you reckon factory reset will help? The battery reads fine i android, its just when you try to power up it shows the depleted battery icon sometimes and then doesnt show anything other times, just doesnt start.

I can't say for certainty, I just remember that's what was posted. Trying to find that post but it's buried somewhere.
At the least it doesn't hurt to try a factory reset. If it still doesn't help than you can root after that.
I think your problem is related to the "deep sleep" trouble more than the battery stats itself.

Cheers Baseball.
I was reluctant to do a factory reset as this would require a restart and I really didnt want to wait a day and a half for the damn thing to start back up again. While I was at the shop today, I got them to check the charger, he in turn said it wasnt working and gave me a new one. Strange how my battery was telling me that I had 99%. Anyway, I bit the bullet and downgraded to .19 so I could root again and do the wipe battery stats. Low and behold, after my TF turned off to restart and do the install of the .19 software, it didnt turn back on. So I thought I would plug it in and then press the power button as this had become the norm. To my amazement, after plugging in and before I could press the power button, the TF fired up and continued to install the downgrade. Hooray!!!
I am now just pumping in the last 2% of battery needed then going to wipe cache, date, dalvik and battery, then hopefully, and I say this with fingers crossed, that that might be the end to my issues.

I've searched the forums and have not seen anything quite like my problem, so if I missed an important thread, I'm sorry.
Over the weekend, I plugged my Captivate (using a stock battery) into the official Samsung charger and overnight my roommate semi-dislodged the charger. When I woke up and grabbed my phone it only registered a few hours of charging yet still had almost full battery. Upon rebooting the phone, I was sent into a bootloop. Not at the ROM, not at the Kernel, not even at the bootloader. It goes so far as to show the white loading ring at the center of the screen which never moves. At one point, a thin pink line appears halfway through the screen as it shuts down and reboots, never making it any farther. If I plug the phone in, it will boot normally though it does not accurately report battery levels or charging.
Other oddities: after 5 minutes of a phone call, the phone hard crashes. Not FC's, but just goes black. Upon a reboot, I get stuck into the same boot loop. If I plug the phone into the wall charger without a battery, it will go into the turned-off charging animation and show a 100% charged battery. Furthermore, my other roommate has a brand new i9000 so I tried that battery (again, stock Samsung) and it continues in the same bootloop. I have tried flashing other ROMS and going back to stock, but that does not seem to help.
Other info: I was running OneCosmic's ICS 3.1 with no overclock and light undervolting at the time. It was perfectly stable for the few days until the charger dislodged. I am also out of warranty and am not eligible for a hardware upgrade so repairing my Captivate would be ideal. I also have a usb jig if that is of any use to this scenario.
Has anyone experienced anything remotely like this? If not, what debugging steps should I attempt?
What I would suggest is using one of the ODIN one clicks and flash back to stock

I've flashed back to Rogers 2.2 stock. Doesn't help. It actually made it harder for me to get the phone started though I have yet to make a phone call from it.
Have you had the phone for less than a year? if so call at&t(or rogers) and they'll replace it for you.
then try factory reset
then try using odin or rom manager to flash back to stock
When all else fails, flash to cm7. that will completely wipe everything and start from scratch.
if that STILL dost work.... than you can be sure that its a hardware problem :/ theres nothing you can do except replace and sell for for parts.. sorry
You may want to try clearing the battery stats. Something in there may be telling the phone that the battery is completely dead and it shuts the phone down in the middle of the boot. Just a guess, though.
It sounds to me like the phone might have gotten confused aobut how much battery life it actually has. You might also try getting it loaded up and then letting it drain the battery completely down. Reset the stats and then fully recharge the phone.

I have exactly the same problem, I did the reset of the battery stats and still not working.
Did you solve the problem?
thanks

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, however, no amount of battery calibration could get it to work. Furthermore, a bad flash has made the situation even worse. Now Im bootlooping even when plugged in and when unplugged my jig is of no help. I have declared my Captivate dead.
Best of luck toominds, if you get it to work, let me know. I'd love to have a spare phone sitting around.
I used this method to root, flash CWM Recovery, and unlocked the bootloader.

Everything went well. I then flashed "The Executioner 2" Rom. Again, everything was fine I was running the Rom for about 2/3 hours. All of a sudden, I was texting and boom, my phone turns to a black screen. Keep in mind at this time my phone is at about 18% battery when it happened. I managed to boot into CWM. I was wiping everything like I would if I was gonna flash a rom + go to restore back up. I factory/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, BOOM black screen again. Couldn't boot up normally. Tried to get into CWM, no go, just vibrating and black screen. Tried getting into download mode, no go just vibrating with black screen. Now my phone ain't even charging if I have the USB in. It seems completely dead. Any ideas or do I have to tell Verizon I lost my phone?
It is out of battery. Let the thing charge.

I have my phone sitting and the charger in. There's no red LED or any battery icon to show that it's charging. You know how normally when you turn your phone off, there's still something that indicates you that the phone is charging when you have it plugged in. In my case, it's just a black screen. It's like the phone is dead?
this happened to me once, it was the battery dead and no led when plugged in or anything. Let it sit on the charger for like 30 mins then unplug it and try to boot it.

Should I try to boot up into custom recovery or download/odin mode? If it's possible I want to fix the brick and just flash my phone back to stock for now. The last thing I want is to have a bricked device. I saved up, sold my Razr Maxx, and paid full price off contract for this phone. Yep, all that down the drain if my phone is bricked. I really appreciate the replies guys, it makes me feel better whether my phone can be saved or not.
I can't remember if it's that rom or not, I look at so many threads but there have been a few reports of major battery drops. Search the thread.

This had also happened to me before, buy after charging it still wouldn't boot normally.
I had to boot into recovery and then select reboot device, hasn't happened since.

My phone won't boot up at all!! Can't boot into recovery, can't boot into download/odin mode either. And now there's no vibration. It seems dead. I didn't do anything wrong, the Rom was running fine. All of a sudden black screen and it started being stupid the way I said in the OP.

Well I would try to get my hands on another battery and see if it will work then. If not and it really just died take it to Verizon and tell them you were sending a text and it shut off. That sound like hardware failure to me.

You wiping it while it ran out of juice for the 2nd time probably didn't help.

I know. At that time I didn't think of the battery, I was just in a panic to get out of the problem.
I think I got somebody to barrow me their GS3 battery tomorrow. IF, the phone lets me boot into anything, what should I do? I don't know which method I should use for fixing the soft brick because there's more than one? I just want to fix it and odin back to complete stock unrooted again.
Reflash your ROM and once it boots up go back to factory rom

Happened to me too..Pretty sure its the battery. When mine shut off, I tried different chargers and nothing.. I tried a combo of things like pulling battery while charging and just leaving the battery out for a couple minutes and then plugging it in till you get a red charging light. When it lights up , let it charge and then restore. Good luck..

I am hoping that it's just the battery being dead and not a hard brick on my phone. I don't understand what happened that made my device do this in the first place? Everything seemed fine. No hiccups when rooting, flashing, ect. I ran the rom for a good few hours. Out of no where BAM, black screen while I was texting?

It misjudged the battery life (ie the percentage was wrong). Then it realized what was happening then shut off the device to protect the battery.

Your phone isn't bricked....your battery is dead.
Let it charge with a WALL charger for at least 30-60 mins. Walk away. Come back, HOLD just the power button until it boots. Let go. Enjoy your "unbricked" device. Why would you want to go into Odin or CWM without even seeing if it boots? A hard brick wouldn't do anything. Just see what happens. If it bootloops or has constant system.ui closes you'll know it. Then go into recovery and either:
1) rewipe/reflash ROM
2) restore functional backup
Please change the title of this thread. You didn't brick. Your battery died. Lol. TW ROMs on this phone have been known to die with 18-23% on the battery gauge. 23 is my number It's happened to a few of us.

Please I need Some help. I just instaled ClearRom (last version) in My Asus TF700; since then I'm having problems in the level of my battery.
When the level get's to 52% my tablet turn off, and when I try to turn it on but i get the low battery screen, so i plug it on. but the level of my battery still on 52%. so 52% is like 0% I don't know what to do. I try installing Battery caliber from the play store but the problem continue. I have TWRP but I can not find something to wipe the battery.

Charge it to 100% and turn it off over the night or 24h as I did, simple as that and it will restore it self... Don't wipe or reflash it, doesn't help, at least it didn't for me but turning it of COMPLETLY did the trick

Hello, I am using galaxy S3 stock rom and my phone keeps shutting down/rebooting when I am using it. Sometimes I let it charge and 20 minutes later it turns off and I have to try many times to boot it. Many times I let my phone on airplane mode at night at 53% battery and It drains completely. I tried other batteries but still the same thing. Did anyone ever experience this?
Thanks

If you're sure it's not a battery problem, and you've run a battery calibration after backup, factory reset, and restore, just to be completely positive, you might want to see if it is a power button issue. The internals of the button get stuck every so often, and I found that when it was usable, I still got huge battery drain, and sometimes turning off and on by itself. There was a place near me that fixed the button on my S4 mini for $15, worked just like new.
I found that the phone was losing battery when when turned off, try leaving it off overnight and if it drains, it's probably an issue with the button.
If it's just a software problem, then that won't help. What does the OS say is using the battery? Maybe check for wakelocks with a battery saving app, I'm sure someone could recommend something

I had a problem which was similar to this but the phone I got is LYF Flame 7.
My phone was automatically shutting down a few minutes after the device is locked, I investigated every setting to check whether anything like auto shutting down or sleep or something was enabled , but every settings were okay but the problem continued.
When I bought this phone, I was disabled a lot of useless stock apps . I re-enabled all these apps to their default and then the problem is solved.
So you just try reverting your apps to their default,if you have tried to disabled it.
Clear its Cache and Misc
Also try a factory reset and try to boot the phone without any SIM cards and SD card.
In my knowledge , I think , the problem of your phone is software related and hardware is okay.
And keep investigating in S3 threads.
