this morning my alarm went off a couple times, and I snoozed it - I woke up shortly later and noticed my phone was just vibrating every few seconds (it was plugged in charging). I pulled the battery and repeated and it happen again. I have a wireless charging mod so I pulled the strips that connect to the phone to see if that fixed it and it didn't.
I have a spare battery (I was using ANKER 2200 Mah at the time) and put it in (this is a stock battery) and it booted fine. this is strange, because not even 10 minutes the phone was working fine with that battery.
I'm running the latest cleanrom, and have been for the past couple months with basically no issues. Any Ideas?
Hmm the only idea I have is do a full wipe and reflash. Do a backup before

Don't think it's ROM related if it's the battery

Hey guys I'm on the newest version of virus rom and my battery will just stay at,say,89% unless a reboot is performed. Any way to fix this?

I had that problem with the standard debloat Rom. New rom seems to update all the time.

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

same problem as it only happens when i use the extended battery. i am trying out battery left widget no clue if it will help or calculate a good reading for me but its calibrating as i just tried it out today.
all the battery wipes in the world will not reset it and help
I get inaccurate info. Seems when i reboot my phone i loose 10-15% charge and it happens all the time. - Extended battery

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

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.
i was in recovery and fixed permissons for whatever reason.... and my phone would only boot up to the samsung logo. i was going to do the "HOW-TO unbrick your soft bricked gs3" downloaded everything but now my phone wont turn on at all. it was low battery, but it wont charge now. , to even get it to show a sign of life, i plug my phone into the computer or outlet without the battery, put the battery in and it flashes the battery logo for about 2 seconds, and the loading circle does not spin. then it just goes black.
any idea?

Just let your battery charge for an hour or two. I know there are no signs us charging, but I've seen this a couple times on the threads here and after charging anyways works. Assuming you didn't flash an international ROM

Ya do what kintwofan said, it happened to me once where it seemed like it wasnt charging but it was. If you leave it on the charger for like a hour and it still wont boot then try and boot it into recovery then in that menu goto reboot now.
still 0 power
wow seems like a lot of people are having this issue lately! maybe the mayans were wrong about the world ending and it was samsung s3's that were supposed to perish?
last night my friend had a black screen and had to pull the battery. I've been having issues for months and today my phone is garbage. check my post. =)

no hence the 0 power. took it to verizon today and their mailing me a new one.
I was just using my phone and it vibrated and turned off. Now no matter what i do it vibrates when turn it on but the screen stays black. I cant get into recovery or anything. I have insurance but since i am rooted with a custom rom i dont know how that will work out. Has anyone else had this happen and if so is there any kind of fix or am i screwed.
did it smell?

No it made no smell or sound. I was moving widgets around and book it vibrated and shut off and wont come back on it just vibrates when i turn it on but the screen never comes on.
I have galaxy mod universal rls15 on it. Is this the infamous sudden death crap that has been happening?
Hate to ask but is it dead. I have had mine shut off on me at like 20% but it was actually dead. Charged it up some and it fired right up.

Almost same exact thing happened to me, except with 10% battery. Charged it up and ran battery calibration. No issues since.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Hmmm battery was around 30% but its never done that before. Although my friends iphone just started shutting off at 40% lol maybe there are phone gnomes at play.
edit: Whelp i guess it is the battery it did seem to be draining very fast. Its dead and ive been using it since 10am barely. Maybe this rom is not doing so good on my battery. But still it shouldnt turn off at 30% and not come back on.

I've been having pretty bad battery life for some reason.. I was wondering if maybe its bad to use my phone while its plugged in? Like just browsing at night while charging? I can see the battery percentage drop really frequently while using it. Any thoughts?

I use my phone all night while it's plugged in, haha.
And is the battery dropping WHILE charging? If so, your charging plug or your wire itself is damaged. It's odd to see battery declining, even during use, while charging.
Oops.. Sorry I phrased that wrong. I meant that the battery percentage drops fast just in general. One minute its at 100 and then in a minute or two its down to 99. Not sure what's up.
By the way I'm on hyperdrive 7 with stock kernel.

Oh, haha okay.
Well it's normal for your battery to drop down to 99% in a minute or two, because the battery can't sustain 100% max for too long. If your battery life can last you throughout the day, I would say you should be fine. But, if you're like me, I would use a conservative-based governor, no matter the kernel. I use KTweaker.
Mind showing a screenshot of your battery stats?

The weird thing is that the battery goes down fast even when I'm not using the phone. Yeah I'll upload a screenshot tonight. Thanks.
