Phone randomly shuts off - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So I am rooted and unlocked. My phone randomly shuts off, and I can only restart it if I plug it in or pull battery. Once I plug it in the battery reads empty, then it refreshes and shows correct battery charge. Any ideas? I've tried different roms and nothing changes.

you can try to calibrate your battery!

Tinbanger,
I've had this happen a couple of times to me.( how
many 4U)
The last one nothing helped had to leave it charge
overnight. BTW The Battery was at 30% when it
shut off.
Talked to VZ they said latest OTA fixes it will see.

If your using a nightly, try flashing the 4/15 nightly. There was an issue with some roms random rebooting and force closing of some apps.
Also, if you flashed a kernel, just run the stock on first.

I really believe the battery display is an os issue. That's why I'm waiting to root.

I was having the same issue with my battery meter sticking. The same time this happens, my Setcpu app also was sticking and would full throttle the cpu. Im running the VirusRom right now, but have experienced this problem on a few of the other Roms also. My usual fix was just wipe everything and go with new install. It started happening again last night and I followed some posters advice to let the battery totally drain and then shutoff. I then recharged to full and everything seems to be fine again.
The first time it ever started happening was right after I had wiped the battery cache and rebooted. Ive stopped doing that now, but it still happens. I notice now that I usuallly experience this after a series of reboots. Not sure whats up, but draining the battery to zero helped out last night. We'll see in a day or two if it starts happening again.

Im actually done with ROMs until CM7 is ready. Im just going with a base rooted system and Ill use a custom kernel. Kernel is 99% of the improvement anyway.
Draining works for a day or so, then it does the same thing. I'm stock and it does it. It also does it with the stock battery. Hope they get it fixed with an update.

Mine actually just stopped working... was working for a week or so and today its just stuck on the same number until i reboot. Pretty annoying.
Bump - anyone find a solution to this? I tried running my extended battery to 0% last night and fully charging it... guess ill see if its fixed today. Pulling it off the charger, it already dropped to 95% lol...

That's because of how it charges not foot into details but that will always happen up to a 10% drop.

Right but my problem was/is the meter never changing. I think I fixed it by completely draining the battery and charging to full. Maybe the phone didnt know how much juice it had because of the different size battery.
yeah i changed to the stock battery last night and it would read fine but i really need this extended

Problems with the battery

Hello all,
I have been having a situation with my phone where while I am using the phone and the battery reaches about 80 - 75% the phone just dies without even shutting down, and when I turn it back on the battery is at something like 1%. Even more strangely, if I turn it off and wait for like an hour then reboot, it is back at 80%. I have calibrated the battery, so I am sure it is not a calibration issue. Also, this has been happening on every rom that I use. I had a Vibrant but traded with my father but I have the battery from the Vibrant even though they are the same.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have discovered this is due to the battery itself and not a calibration error. I am using a new one now with no problems. Thank you very much for the suggestions though.
Gingerbread or Froyo?

I am using gingerbread 2.3.5
It is newest valhala with a voodoo kI3 kernel.
Go to recovery and go to advanced/wipe battery stats and fix permissions

You need to calibrate your battery. download the battery calibration app by nema from the market. Charge your phone to as close to 4200mv as you can. Calibrate in the app. unplug phone immediately. Let it die completely. Charge it back up with no break

Thanks but I have tried this before posting. I did not let it run empty though, so I will try that.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
The whole point is to let it run empty after clearing the stats when the phone is full...

[Q] Battery use reset after reboot

Does anyone know why my phone is resetting the battery stats after every reboot? When it reboots, battery use starts at 0 seconds as if it was unplugged from the charger.
Thanks in advance
I'm running cm7 btw

I've read people that it works like stock. I remember it used to work on my phone a while back, but a couple of months ago it stopped working. I haven't found a solution for this yet.
Someone told me it was something to do with the recovery but I didn't understand and he did not reply back.
I don't think it is too important, but it would be nice if it work like it should.

Skyrocket randomly shuts down and vibrates.

For the past 24 hours my Skyrocket has started randomly shutting itself off every hour or so and then beginning to just slightly vibrate (like haptic feedback). Holding down the power button will start it back up, but obviously this is pretty terrible.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? I'm using an older NexusMod (ICS) and had no issues with it for the first 6 weeks or so. People have suggested the charger might be messing it up, but it continues to happen after using both my Skyrocket charger and my Nexus 7 charger.
Power button may be screwed

It's happening when it's just sitting idle on my desk. Could that still be the case?

Clear cache and dalvik cache. Did you restore any data from a different from to this one ?

I think your battery might be overheating. Have you noticed a heavy battery drain? Try using Bettery Battery Stats to see whats eating it up if you have.
~PsyCl0ne
i cleaned my battery contacts and the problem went away for me FYI
Happened to me also. Found out my phone was hot to the touch, so I removed my case, and let the battery cool down. Now I don't use a case, and it doesn't happen anymore.

(Q) Battery Indicator

My phone's battery indicator always remain at 100% regardless of rom. I flashed rooted stock froyo, gingerbread, cm7, cm10.1, weapong2x, mokeos, unrooted stock, literarily everything yet the battery stays at 100%. I tried wiping battery stats in cwm, using battery calibration app, everything! Please help! :banghead:
No one at all?
Might be a dying battery. Is it stock or aftermarket? And have you tried running it down until it's completely dead?

Stock battery that came with the phone when I got it last year and yep, I tried playing games with it until the phone died. Left the phone charging for about a day, unplug, turn on and it stays at 100% still

Try to reset the battery by doing at least three discharge cycles. Also never run the battery dry.

What do you need help with? I solved this by reflashing but also by flashing other roms and tried which worked. Only temasek's rom and cm7 worked for me
