Hello guys.
I installed Slim Bean 4.1.1 version(3.0.31 Semaphore) few months ago(from this THREAD) on my Galaxy S I9000, and everything worked really well, until last week.
First problem- my speakerphone started to automaticly turn on on every phone call, and my screen sometimes used to rotate randomly after I turn display on. I couldn't fix this, but I think somehow my phone turned on the dock mode, but I didn't know how to switch it off. I also couldn't connect my phone with computer, when I connected it, it just charged battery. And this lasted about for a week, until today. Today everything came back to normal, speakerphone wasn't activated on calls, and I think screen stopped rotating when screen was off, but when I wanted to charge my batter, the phone didn't show any signs of charging, like I didn't put charger in. I'm left with 4% of the battery, I tried to charge it through pc cable, but It didn't work either.
So, is there a solution, can anyone help me?
I forgot to mention, I never updated Slimbean, it's still on 4.1.1. version.
Thank you in advance, and sorry for my bad english.
Could be a bad battery. Try using the phone on A/C power, with no battery installed, & see if you get the same weird behavior.

You mean connected to charger, without battery at all?
It won't turn on like that at all. I never knew that was even possible tbf.
Maybe some devices won't, but AFAIK, most devices should power on & be functional, which doesn't help diagnose your problem.
Now it's working, I fixed it somehow, I pulled battery out couple of times, and did couple of restarts, so it's finally charging. And now it's back to old problems where my speakerphone turns on automaticaly on every phone call.
I get the feeling that the problem's gonna come back. 1st priority should be to charge the battery fully.
I did that last night. What's next? :laugh:
I'm guessing it's either a bad motherboard, or a bad battery. Be prepared for the worst.

Battery is working well(at the moment), so I don't see how could damaged baterry affect software problems such as automaticaly turning on the speakerphone, and not being able to connect phone with PC.
You'd be surprised what abnormal voltage levels can do to electronic devices.

Okay, I'll probably change it in few days.
Now, I have other problem.. I wanted to install Slim Bean 2.7, but when I enter recovery mode, do full wipe, installation aborts around 26% saying, "E: Error in /sdcard/Slim-i9000-2.7.0-OFFICIAL.zip (status 0) ", and above "installation aborted".
You sure that ROM was intended for your device? Sounds like the difference between update-script and updater-script. Different devices use different methods to flash ROMs.

The file name is Slim-i9000-2.7.0-OFFICIAL, it is the right ROM surely?
I have no idea. You need to check the thread from where you downloaded it.

Hi! Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum, im new here :laugh:
I installed Fallout V 4.3.0 on my HTC DS and everything was working fine. But then suddenly my phone started to restart randomly. 1-2 minutes after booting it restarts again. If i take out the battery, wait 1 minute, and the put i back in the phone starts automatically again. Then another 1-2 minutes before restart loop.
This does not happen when the charger is plugged in. First thing i thought was a battery-issue, but this happened after flashing a ROM, so?
The phone was working fine on Fallout V 4.0.0, problem occured when updating.
-I wiped everything before installing the ROM.
-Have tried to reinstall Fallout, same problem
-Have tried to install Endimyon, same problem.
Information about the phone:
Current ROM: [Endymion V3.5|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.2|ControlCenter]
Hboot: 6.98.1002
Radio: Default
S-off
Would appreciate some help, as my phone is useless atm! :crying:
Hello,
Maybe this should be posted in the Fallout thread (however you have to make 10 posts before being able to post in the dev section...). Up to the moderators to move your thread or not
I have had some similar issues after flashing Fallout, except my phone didnt reboot but it just went off a couple of minutes after i tuned it on. Although this just seemed to happen once. After I turned it on again, everything ok until I charged it to 100%, turned it on again - and same issue.
I then flashed CM9, same issue.
I read somewhere that it might be a charge level display issue : when you plug the phone in charge and unplug it right away, battery indicator will say it is charged to 100% - while obviously it is not...
Hope that will help you.

Yes. Do you think buying a new battery will do the trick?
Time for the really stupid question - but it is the old one and has been a problem for many people (including me).
Have you tried to insert a piece of paper, folded so it is 3 or 4 sheets thick, in between the battery and the back of the phone when you insert it? There is a manufacturing tolerance which can cause the battery to move and lose connection to the contacts sometimes.
It's probably not the solution for you, but it's a damn sight cheaper than buying a new battery immediately.

Thanks for answering, but i've tried that... The weird thing is that if i turn on the setting "screen always on", the phone does not restart. Or if the charger is plugged in. It only restarts some seconds after the screen goes black (inactivity) or if i press the power button.
Sadly I don't have an answer for you, however, I wanted to recommend that you avoid taking your battery out as that can cause damage to the emmc chip and thus brick your phone

Don't worry about the eMMC chip that the other poster mentioned - the problem is not caused by removing your battery - it is caused by not removing it properly, or by removing and reconnecting it quickly which means there is still residual charge when it reconnects.
Given the more detailed description, I assume you have a custom ROM running? If so then try two things
1) Try to decrease the under-voltage settings by 50mV
2) Increase the minimum CPU speed.
It sounds like the phone is going to sleep, but is slowed down too much and a reboot is forced.

Tried your suggestion, but no luck. Will buying a new battery give me any chance?
It might do. I would be tempted to find a phone shop and ask them if you can test your phone with a battery from them before buying it though - just in case it is something else causing this.

Hy Guys!
My DS is doing the same thing after I istalled the ICE DS 5.1. Funny thing is it started only after 1 day. It was working perfectly until it restarted after pressing the power button. I've tried different ROMs (CM 7.2; Fallout 5) but it happend almost instantly. Also tried the CPU voltage, no result.
I'm curious superlorre if the new battery did the trick?
Or is there a thread I missed where the problem got solved?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, so i say batteries because i already tried 3 different ones. My problem started in gingerbread when i could not charge pass 50~60%, won't even matter how much time i have it "charging", then i rooted and install the AT&T release of ICS 4.0.4, then some days later it started to won't charge pass 1% and sometimes lowers to 0% and if i disconnect turns off, and connected never charges. I have tried with different chargers also, i have tried every forum "solution", factory resetting, procedure and no luck. If i go into CWM and delete batterystats or to do anything, the phone doesn't turn off, that's weird also. I bought an external charger and charged the three batteries to full, and when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or 0% and turns off if i disconnect.
So anybody who can help me with this, i would extremely grateful. Thanks

Must be the charger, or cable if you are using usb. Try different once and see.
get BetterBatteryStats and see if there any bad wakelocks.

Hi, yes i have bbs installed and i dont see any weird wakelocks, right now is just audio, which i read is normal. Today i get a 4th new charger and cable OEM Samsung to try, but honestly i dont think it will help.
The thing that confuses me the most, is that i charged every battery I've tried in an external charger, so the battery IS actually full, but when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or even 0%. :crying:

Charge the battery in another phone or device, if you can. That would be the only option.
To be honest it sounds like something you may have installed or run on your phone, you said it started only a few days after upgrading to ICS which I'm guessing is how long it took you to finish restoring everything from GB.
My advice is to do a complete reset to the phone using kies, let it run for a few days with the minimal stuff you need and then start adding few apps at a time and wait to see if everything runs ok.

He can't do anything to it, no battery life, it will get stuck at flash or reset (kies) and brick.
The charger doe not charge, so he can;t even do it with the usb plugged. If he had power there are lot's of thing to test, ODIN or flash.

I'm out of warranty time now.
He said he already used an external charger and it didn't help, unless all 3 of his batteries are trash it's an issue with the phone.
He also said as long as his phone stays connected it runs fine so using kies should work I guess.
If nothing works I'd say it's some type of hardware issue and that means he will have to pay for a repair or he will have to upgrade.

Just take it to a small shop that unlocks or fixes phones, something small but nice looking, with bunch of phones for sale. Not Bestbuy or something)
They would usually ship the phone to a factory for fixing, that means they ship it to Samsung facility where some dude does work on the side.
I had my main board replaced to OEM for $190 where Rogers doing same would have charged me $420.
Your problem should not cost much, but you can;t put price on how relived you would be once it's fixed)

Hi, just to make an update, i did uninstall some stuff with root uninstaller, now the battery charges!! BUT to about 15~17%, then starts to discharge itself even connected to a charger. :crying:
So I suggest to do what I said before, start from fresh and install slowly, something must have screwed with your rom.

Would you recommend to install the stock release of ICS 4.0.4 or a custom rom? if so which is the best ?Im considering using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195. Thank you
OK, so i installed this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195, the battery charges to about 19%, then starts discharging itself being connected to the charger. This is driving me crazy, i have tried so may things and nothing, been a few weeks without using the phone normally. :crying:
First go fresh stock using kies to see if the issue still persists, if it does it's probably a hardware issue. If you know someone that has a device with a battery thats works fine and it fits your device ask him to try it out so you can be certain it's your device and not all of your batteries.

Ok, i did all that i could, reinstalling stock GB 2.3.5, same problem. So im pretty sure it is a hardware issue, or possibly the 3 batteries i have are trash. I will see some place in san antonio texas, that can fix it. Thanks for the help everyone. Sadly this stuff happens, but what can you do.
PS. If someone sees this and thinks that can fix my problem ill gladly discuss payment for your work. Pm me. Thanks.
Hi guys,
My phone’s screen was flickering. So, I watched many tutorials online and bought a flex cable from Ebay.
I followed the tutorials and replaced my Flex Cable. Now, my phone shuts down immediately at "Android is starting. Optimizing Apps" without warning. The screen’s light just disappeared.
1. I thought it might be because of empty battery. So, I charged the battery over night. Then, turned on and offed a few times. Same problem.
2. I thought it was software problem. So, I reinstalled Android 6.0 stock firmware from Google site. Same problem.
3. I thought it might be because of incompatible hardware (my phone’s variant is D821, but I replaced with the flex cable which says D820). So, I replaced with my old cable. Same problem.
4. The phone works very well in Recovery Mode. More specifically, it can run Clock Work Mode like a charm. No shutting down, no screen flickering, nothing.
I really hope someone here have solutions for this problem? Now, I’m not even sure whether it’s hardware problem or Software problem.
Appreciate you guys help.

i *may be* wrong but im betting its the battery, i had my n4 do the same thing(shutdown when on high cpu/gpu demand), checked the logs, the battery voltage would suddenly drop from 4v to 1v, replaced and it went all well
you could try to install a 4.4 rom with no gapps, since its boot would take way less time / cpu demand to see if you can get further
Does the phone turn off if you boot it while connected to a charger?

Thanks so much. I installed 4.4 stock firmware. It worked!!! Phone can turn on now.
But, the screen is still flickering and battery is at 0%. If i unplugged the cable, the phone dies immediately.
By the way, how did you check the logs?
U can use adb to check logs:
1) Shut down your phone
2) open a CMD window in the folder with the adb drivers
3) type "adb logcat"
4)connect the phone and boot it
5) u should have in the driver's folder a new text file, that is your log of the boot

Hi All,
I'm facing a weird issue with my phone from more than 2 months and it has reached a frustrated level now. It used to shut off at levels like 15%, sometimes between 15-25%. But nowadays, it shuts down automatically at 40-60% and that is really unreliable. So, i wanted to check if there are other people facing the same issue or is it only my device. Please share your views, any possible solutions, possible reasons, and if applicable, similar experiences.
thanks for the info, i got my oneplus one back in 2013, hopefully it will not shutdown after a while. i have not found such problem and hope i will not in the future as i want to have the phone for at least 5 years

thanks so much, bought it after my nexus4 died which im still sad about because its one of my 1st real android phones after having a contract android phone.
As an update, i kept my phone on charge for straight 4-5 hours. and now it shuts down after 20-25%. Definitely an improvement. But still it's a mystery why does it show this bug in the first place.
Umm, how has no one mentioned maybe trying battery calibration!? Seems like a fairly obvious first step here to take before swapping out for a new battery.. Plug the phone in and let it charge entirely. Even at 100% in Settings > Battery it will still show "100% - Charging on AC" (or USB whatever you've got connected)
You need to wait for that to turn into "100% - Charged." Then, calibrate using any battery calibration app from the playstore, ( I use this one )
After it charges to 100% - Charged, hit "calibrate" in the app, disconnect the charger, and let it drain entirely. You might find it dying out before 0% once again, but this hopefully should have been the last time. Plug the phone in and switch it on as soon as you can while it starts to charge. Let it charge uninterruptedly to 100% - Charged, again.
Not saying this might solve it 100% but it is an option to try.

Well already tried and i may sound a bit silly, but studies have proved that battery calibration is a myth. Android automatically cleans the batterystats.bin file after every single full charge. Rest assured, i have already done that with no avail.

I had the same problem, phone was switching off @ 40% and at times @35%. Battery calibration certainly helped. No more problems now. Works well if the phone is rooted.
Hello. Long story short. I was using my phone when my phone started to freeze and i decided to restart it to 'unfreeze' it. I switched it off and that's it. All black. Dead. No safe mode, no recovery mode, no sign of life when charging. It has been over 12h now. Is it the motherboard? Is there any chance to save my data(photos,videos,contacts) with some app or program?
By the way I plugged it in the laptop yesterday - nothing. I tried now and the battery icon appeared. It looks like it is charging. It is very weeeeeeeeird.
Get it charged for 12h minimum. Then try to turn it on. If you succeed, download everything you can before doing anything. After that you can try flashing new software to see if that will help. If not, it's more than likely hardware issue.
I have already turned it on. Weird it wasn't charging with the charger, while it is ok with the usb in the laptop. It is charging slowly.
Do you reckon it might be a hardware problem?

Hmm. I don't think so because when my phone turned off was at 80+% then after half a day of trying to turn it on...it started from 2%. Very weird. Which are the most common bugs in s7 ?

Maybe your battery has come to the end of it's life, when Li-Ion batteries drain to 0% sometimes they won't charge again, or take a long time to start charging
80% > 2% sounds like a bad battery

I never had problems with the battery tho. Very very pleased with it's performance. I will message if there is any change. Still charging in the laptop hence it charges slow.
I never let it drain completely, this could be a problem I guess :silly:

Batteries can fail like this, working fine then suddenly dead
Hopefully just a glitch, good luck
Well, it worked for a day - managed to backup my data I think. I have another problem now it looks like i have no andoid on the phone. It gives me this error:
No support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API : 3
And then it fails to find any files. I have downloaded Odin. Does anyone know where I can find stock firmware - UNLOCKED

it there any particular firmware that i have to download? i am using giff gaff sim card if that makes difference - what i mean is it could be locked to some operator
I don't think it's locked by carrier. More important question is, where did you buy the phone.
I got it from someone from facebook in England. So I believe it was bought in England, if that is what you are asking, mate.
Uuu, ok. Did this person give you any paperwork for it? Receipt? No?
just the box and the stuff inside (warranty card and manuals)
So it's should be either BTU or XEU.
downloaded the BTU files, tried 2 versions of Odin and it fails 1 second after i start it. I get a message on my phone:
SECURE CHECK FAIL : (PIT)
Did you include pit file and checked "re-partition"?

I left it for repair. Can't be arsed with this crap phone Is it possible that the repair man could browse in gmail or stuff like this ?
I had this exact same thing happen to my S7 a few days ago. Shortly after I got a small OTA update. Phone froze at like 70% battery, held power for almost 30 seconds before it turned off, now it's just black. no vibration, no LED, nothing... I did notice that if I plug it in to my windows pc, and press the power button, I will hear the "USB connect" sound in windows and it will appear in Device manager as "Exynos 8890" and then immediately disappear when I release the power button. Very strange. It's been like this now for about a week.
