So this morning I woke up to my phone refusing to power up again, and also have lots of random shutdowns that require me to pull battery before powering back on. I have narrowed it down to the only culprit causing this being an aftermarket extended battery as my oem battery, although it was dead, powered the phone up and accepted a charge via the charge indicator staying on instead of blinking. Anyone else experience this?

What battery are you using? Is it knocked off ones from ebay?
You can try and buy the oem battery, mugen or chichi batteries.
OROROR its possible that Ur having random issue that some people are having resulting many bricked g2s. There is a thread in general section called e:log/ something like that
Mine was bricked compeletely
Was running cm7 fine for about a week
Then it was cuasing random freezes and had to pull battery to get it working again
Now careful with what you do or u will brick urs like mine
Can u connect to the charger and open hboot or access to recovery?
If you do using adb reflash recovery..
Thisis what I did and ended up with bricked g2
I was tried of getting random freezes(I never overclocked it)
Booted into recovery did factory reset and got e: log/recovery or something like that( buch of em)
Then I flashed new rom
Rebooted got stuck at htc logo for 20min
Pulled battery...it never turned back on. No hboot or recovery no adb nothing.

Aftermarket batteries are often cheap knockoffs, and are infamous for failing quickly. I've seen a post on here by a person that purchased 3 from eBay, and all 3 failed within 2-3 weeks.

+1 if your really looking for extended after market batteries go with chichi or mugen. People are getting great results. They are a bit pricy though.

Its not non sense lol. It happened to me, no need to panic, leave the battery in unless your CWM is updated to the latest version whereas you don't boot into recovery while charging.
If its updated to the latest CWM:
1. Put back your OEM battery or any other battery that will boot up your phone.
2. Go to ROM Manager and go to a previous recovery version before the the fix for charging and not going into recovery.
3. Let it flash, and then pop back in your extended battery.
4. Plug in your USB to your computer. Let it go into recovery.
5. Type "adb devices" your phone should appear.
6. Then type "adb reboot"
There it should be fixed now. If your CWM isn't to the latest, you can skip the flashing to older ones.
Lol the nonsense is my signature on my phone, meaning my phone is a non-sense phone lol
Its been working fine all day, just drops calls in the same area so no different. I haven't tried the am battery since, but when it was plugged in the orange charge led was blinking, and would act differently when power button was pressed. Put oem battery in and no power, but the battery was dead. After ten min it powered and booted right up.
Mostly I am concerned and made this thread because my previous g2 bricked and wondering if the battery messed up volatge or something because the phone got a little hot before it locked up and bricked. I was reflashing roms and I did it 20 times before and never had a problem so its not like it was my first time. Totally weird.
Nonsense!
Yeah it happened to me like twice. I just pray that when I have to do a battery pull when I'm out it this problem doesn't occur lol. Well yeah the orange light blinks cause of the new CWM. If it was on the old one with no fix, it would stay orange and go into recovery. At first I thought the same until I put a different battery back in and booted, so I thought the battery was now defective, so I went back to eBay and purchased 2 more. After a week of the purchase I tried those adb commands and it fixed it. So now I have 3 extended batteries lol, it kinda messed me up since I had to pay for a new one .
Just wanted to say after almost a week on the oem stock battery since my failure, I have not had issues with my phone shutting down, random rebooting attempts, or a need for a battery pull. No pulling the phone out of my pocket and it is blank dead and useless unless I pull battery.
I'm assuming that the battery was my problem. How? I don't know unless it was a voltage issue? If anyone wants my am battery to just mess with it, you can have it for free just pay shipping.
Nonsense!
You can buy 1450mah Droid Incredible 2 battery or the Evo Shift's 1500mah battery.
EDIT: Just got the Sprint Evo Shift battery in. It will need to be modded and sanded down a bit. I was in a hurry so I just sanded it down with the sticker still on it.. after about 5 minutes of that, some clean up with goo gone and alcohol, I have a working 1500mah battery straight from HTC.

I am running CleanROM 2.1 with the CleanKERNEL and AOSP Blue Mod Theme on my GS3. It is overclocked to 1.70Ghz .It has been working great for the past 3 days or so I have had it set up like this. I took the OTA before re-rooting and reunlocking and before ever putting any ROMs on the phone. I had the phone on my car charger on my way to work this morning, after draining a bunch of battry streaming F1 practice. When I got to work, I pull the phone off the charger and we inside. When I went to check my phone, it was black. And still is. The phone was working fine while on the charger, but now I can not get it to respond to anything. I have tried to reboot, reboot to recovery, pull the battery, and have it plugged in. The only thing happening is the phone becomes warm while plugged in.
I have no flashed anything for 3 days or so. I don't know what could have happened. Any thoughts?? Please help. I am kinda freaking out right now.

This happened to me a few times but with a slightly different scenario. If i tried to power up my phone, it would give a brief vibration and then show me a battery sign with a big 0 on it (green battery image). No matter what i did it wont boot up. And my battery wasn't at 0% when it happened. I was able to get into recovery and restore a backup.
In your case, check if there is any power in your battery (or borrow someone's who has an s3) and see if you are able to boot into recovery.
Hope you are able to fix it. Good Luck.

Then it might be your battery as the other person mentioned. The bettery is either bad or the device is not charging it. Have you tired different chargers as well? It can even be your charging port...
Odin mode and recovery have nothing to do with your ROM when you boot into them. If you boot into that, it boots before loading your Rom.
Go to the Verizon store and just ask if you can try their battery from the demo unti or something if you do not know anyone else with an S3.

There is guy coming in later today with a GS3, I will try his battery when he gets here. I know I was at 99% battery when I pulled it off my car charger. But, I suppose it is possible the battery is fried.

Don't want to sound like a broken record, but have you tried keeping your power button pressed for 5-10 seconds? Its weird but the brief vibration I got in my case was when I had it pressed for a good 5-7 seconds and then nothing would happen. Just checking if you have the same symptoms.

Yeah, I have held it for 1 minute+. I am really lost on what could have caused this. It seems to me, and my uneducated mind, it may be a hardware issue. I just don't know what or why.
I just got home from work, still with no luck. I guess if I can't get life into it, Verizon can't either?

This is kinda where I am at. I feel like it is a hardware problem more then a software problem aka not my fault.
So what was the final outcome on this?
This happened to me a few weeks ago. I had my GS3 for about a month. Everything was stock. Never rooted or unlocked.
Its a hardware issue.
If you return your phone to Verizon they will give you a refurb.
I believe the phone gets sent to Verizon not Samsung. Since I wasn't rooted it didn't matter for me, but since you can't even boot into ODIN at the store they won't be able to tell that your phone is rooted so they will order you a refurb straight away.
Its possible that when it gets to the Verizon testing facility they will discover that its been rooted and expect you to pay full price for the replacement. I have no idea.
Good Luck
Sorry for not updating. I ended up getting a replacement phone from Verizon. Looks like some other people are running into the same problem.

Okay, guys. I'm begging for help. I have a rooted One XL Evita, and I woke up last night to it very hot near the camera, but still functional. Working and everything. So I set it aside to cool down. Now, I woke up to it completely dead, so I plugged it into a AC charger.
There is no charging light. No signs of life whatsoever. So, I searched the forums, and I tried just about everything. Button combinations, everything.
Now, I did find something that seems like it works somewhat. If I hold the power button while the phone is plugged in, the charging light will blink 8 to 10 times. Then stop, and go back to doing nothing.
I don't know what to do. Please help me if you can. Thank you. :crying:

It was actually in my hand, haha. But nothing intensive was running. It boggles me. :highfive:
The fact that it was covered (even partially) probably has something to do with it heating up. I've seen reports of these phones heating up while under pillows or in pockets, so it's not much of a leap to think holding it could produce excessive heat.

This phone has some history of battery tanking occasionally for some folks, and the phone becoming unresponsive. Often happens at night, so may be related to signal and phone not properly disconnecting from the network when idle for a long period of time. Plugging into the wall charger overnight seems to be the remedy for most folks. This might have been what happened to you. The frequency of this issue seems to be increasing as the device gets a bit older.
This has happened to me several times during the life of my phone. You just need to plug it in for a while and the charging light will start flashing red, then when it turns solid red a bit later it has enough juice to actually boot. It happens because your battery was completely drained.

We're actually talking about a different situation, it's not just a case of the battery draining normally. There is a power management bug that rears its ugly head every now and again on this device. When this happens you don't get the usual flashing led, you get no response whatsoever and it looks like a brick, even though it isn't. Usually the phone will power on again after being charged overnight.

There is already a thread for this, and a suspected cause:
It's not a calibration issue, but sensor configuration or fpga. In my opinion it can be corrected from software, but a simple rom change won't help unless they focus on correcting this issue.

Did you update to KK? It's common known bug after updating an other phones such moto x.
Do this only once:
Download StabilityTest (ROOT optional) turn one wifi, gps, bluetooth. Run the program and start the "Classic stability test" leave the phone till it turns off. Then "power"+"vol-" run recovery mode and leave the phone it will turn of after a wail-make this step f times till it won't work and only the led will blink. You have now maximal drained out battery. Now plug the charger and make it 100% then start the hone enjoy-I hope it will help you.

Happened to me: I charged the phone to 85% using a laptop USB then took the phone out to use it, when I came back 30 minutes later I plugged back in to continue charging it dropped to 1% instantly then powered itself off as battery was nearly flat. Reboot phone then plug into laptop and starts charging from 1%.
10 mins later it's about 8% charged and I take phone to car, charge it using a Motorola car USB charger and the phone battery goes back to about 85% instantly.
It seemed to me that using a PC usb socket to charge the phone caused the issues rather than using a 'proper' charger. Maybe others can confirm whether they've had the issue only if using a PC usb port to charge it up?
Mine is UK tesco 8GB Moto G running Kitkat official firmware, not rooted, bl locked and not been flashed other than official software.
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.
