Cannot post in appropriate category yet so I have to post here and hope someone can help. I clean flashed this rom the other day (did everything properly), and the issue I keep having is that now my battery won't charge, and battery drain is horrendous (about 3 hours from 100 to 0). If my phone is off and plugged in, charging does not occur after 5%. After my phone dies it is almost impossible to get it charged to 100% again. Even plugged in it stays alive at 0% and does not charge. I have rebooted the phone on and off the charger (which was suggested in the forum) and that did not help. I really like this rom other than that, and even if I wanted to flash a different one I can't with 0-5% battery left. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
RE:
Did you try replacing the battery with either OEM replacement or aftermarket equivalent? It's possible the battery may be bad, yes it happens.

Yes I did. I Used my GF's battery (also gs3) to see if it would charge as well. It did not. It has something to do with this rom. My phone has been dead for 2 days now and will not charge. Anyone have any other suggestions?
To be more specific: Several people on this rom have noticed that if you reboot on the charger it causes a wakelock that does not go away. It is then suggested to reboot off the charger and that will make the wakelock go away. It seems like regardless of what I do, the wakelock will not go away.

That's very strange have you tried to Odin back to stock and start from scratch by keeping the phone charging via USB.
I did some checking around and I personally haven't found another solution to this.

Hi all, laid down to take a nap and woke up to a dead Thunderbolt. I can't get it to turn on, no indication light is shown when it is connected to the charger, and I get an unknown device when plugging into USB and trying to ADB reboot.
Everything was fine right before I took a nap and now nothing works . I've never flashed leaked radios and the latest ROM I was running was CM7 RC1.2 with the stock kernel. Not really sure what else to do at this point except weep.
try pulling out the battery?
Tried several battery pulls and none seemed to make a difference. My phone decided to come alive again just a few minutes ago on its own. Now I'm really perplexed by what happened and worried this may happen again in the future.
Uber-weird...
I read this post last night, then woke up this morning with the same symptoms. Plugged it into charger and the indicator light just blinked once and then nothing. I guess this is where some might panic but just let it alone, it doesn't have enough juice to power up yet.

yeah i have seen that before...sometimes you just gotta leave it plugged in to charge for a little before you can boot up the phone
Agreed let it charge a while or go get a new battery and try it

Yesterday when this happened, I was at around 50% battery life. If others are experiencing the same symptoms then we should try to get to the bottom of this somehow. Not really sure what kind of diagnostics or feedback I could submit because other than this freak accident my phone has been running perfectly.

When people had issues like this before for some reason they experienced battery drain and didn't realize the battery was really dead. If its that it could be a bad app, rom issue, or kernel issue.
If is battery after you fully charge I would wipe battery stats then maybe run a rom of your chosing without unnecessary mods or apps to see if it still happens

I have had this happen to me twice in the past few weeks. Each time I just left it alone, charging, and tried powering on after several minutes (10+). I would then fully charge and calibrate the battery.
To OP .... i also had an issue like this and i ended up having to warranty replace it with VZW.
This one was already a replacement to a previous one, and within minutes of booting it up, it was experiencing 'reboot' problems. Verizon indicated i should wait for the update to fix the issue. I just left the phone plugged into the wall for the weekend (didnt even look at it), and Monday morning it was dead. I pulled battery.... let it sit unplugged, let it sit with pulled battery ... nothing would bring it to life.
is this a rooted phone?
If so, we can flash an alternate kernal to see if that is the problem. Usually powering off problems are related to the kernal in my experience with the TB.
IF NOT,
I would try wiping the device so there are no apps before returning to verizon for a refurbed.
It is not likely but possible you have a misbehaving app draining your batter like crazy.
Also, your phone might be doing something weird like closing system resources when it needs ram by accident thinking its an app or something. I've seen that happen before.
I have had this problem twice in the last three days. The two days it happened, I woke up to a dead phone while still plugged in. Unplugged it and put it back on the charger and it eventually turned on. I use it as my alarm clock, so its getting frustrating having to rush to get ready in the morning because my phone dies when on the charger. It is rooted with bamf 3.0, but I haven't done anything to it in months just because it ran so good. I am going to check my app stats to see what I may have downloaded.
I have now had this problem twice this week. I have read other posts that sound similar but the issue seems different.
Twice I have shut down my phone at night. With FULL battery. The next morning, I could not turn the phone on. It would vibrate when I hit power button but not come on at all.
Both times I plugged it in and saw that the battery was COMPLETELY drained. I have seen threads where people post about some battery drain overnight, but this was an entire drain, with the phone off.
This is a major issue obviously as both times the next morning I was on the go and had zero battery life.
Any ideas of what this can be? Does it sound like a physical battery issue? Is the phone maybe not actually shutting down and getting caught in some battery draining process?
Help please.
The best way to test the shutdown issue is pulling the battery after it seems to shut down. Try pulling it for a few seconds and replacing it, but leaving the device off. If that produces the same result, try leaving the battery out overnight.
This seems to only be happening if I leave the battery in the phone.
It happened again last night. Complete drain.
Im not sure but I feel like there may have been a buzz as it turned itself off (not sure if its always there need to experiment further). I picked it up and hit buttons to make sure it wasnt just in standby. It wasnt. it was OFF.
Next morning, no battery.
Any ideas? Id love some help as this is becoming a pretty big problem for me.
Have you ruled out a hardware issue already? If not then call the carrier.

This actually happened to me a night before last as well - twas the first night running Smooth Ice 5.1. Are you on that by chance? Not knowledgeable enough to really comment on whether or not that could be it, but it'd be something to eliminate.
I switched to the new leak last night and the battery life has been excellent off charger all day, for what it's worth.
I am on stock everything.
I am still trying to diagnose the problem.
It seems that when I Power Off, occasionally at the end of the power done I will get a Vibrate. When that happens, I think it is draining while switched off.
When the Power Down happens and I dont feel the vibrate, so far I have not experienced the drain.
Does that perhaps give anyone ideas about what might be happening? Some kind of locked in Process or App? Any likely culprits? Any diagnostics that can show, if it does drain, what drained it?
In the past when it drained I plugged it in to charge and checked battery stats, but it showed Display as the largest consumer. Does the About Battery stats reset each time you plug in and start charging?

It always vibrates when you power off, at least mine does.
The battery stats reset after a full charge has been achieved.
I have no idea what would be discharging it while off besides a bad battery.
Put the BetterBatteryStats application on there. The stock Battery Use GUI interface that is built into the firmware will not show you details enough, it will just show what application used the cpu for X amount and caused the battery to go down X amount.
Put BetterBatteryStats on there to find out what is causing the phone to get drained so quickly. Seems like its not going in deep sleep mode and there is some partial wakelock that is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep. That app will tell you what service or application is holding the largest wakelocks and amount of time it does it for. This helps to determine the issue. Without this, you are just speculating on the problem with the built in Battery Use stats/graph in the Status screen.

Something else I noticed...
Over the last few data, sometimes when I power down the phone, it goes through the powering down process usual, but as soon as its done, the phone vibrates and powers right back on...
Anyone experience this or an idea why that would happen?
Just a thought; If I'm charging my phone with a generic charger (500 mA) and shut it off, it will reboot.
If I'm charging with either the factory wall charger or a 12 volt that triggers AC charge it won't.

The reboot happens when I shut down and am not plugged in to a charger at all....
My galaxy S has been doing this too lately (loses all charge when off overnight). It always buzzes on shutdown.
One thing that mine has is a problem with the usb port, it slowly stopped working and now I can't charge it anymore through the port. I'm wondering if there is a physical short there that is causing the battery to drain. Possibly you have something similar going on, or a short elsewhere in the system.
I've noticed that you cannot shut the phone down when charging from certain chargers too, especially in the car. Very annoying.

Hey guys,
Im still having this issue and wanted to hear if there is a known fix or solution?
Honestly, the severity of battery drain you're describing sounds lije more of a hardware issue than anything else. I would contact yoir carrier as mentioned above. Beyond that, trying out a custom ics like sky or embryo might be your best bet if you prefer the tw interface. Im on embryo 5.1 right now and am experiencing better battery health and longevity than ever before with the skyrocket. But the issue does sound like a bad battery.

This happened to me on one of my i777s.
The phone would even not boot up. It will just vibrate. Turns out the battery was bad. Changed the battery. It was still the same.
Then tried another charger, same thing happened.
So then I changed the whole charging port part in the phone.
Voila! Phone worked like a charm.
So if you have warranty change the phone. If not change the charging port. At least in my case.
I came to a conclusion that even the battery went bad because of the bad charging. Might be a coincidence too.

I have 3 S2 phones that I bought as defect and played around with. Two I could fix but I could not resolve the battery issue on the third phone like by buying a brandnew USB charger part (and trying the ones from the other 2 phones. It has nothing to do with the ROM or anything software either. I narrowed it down to be an issue on the actual mainboard. The weird thing is that the battery discharges way faster when the phone is turned off than when it's in use.
All of a sudden my phone started to turn off when it read that there was still battery life left on device. But it will not boot up until I plug it into a charger. Once I do, there are times it reads 100% charge, random %, or completely dead. Since the first time there hasn't been a time it has properly drain the battery with a proper shut down. I have done numerous factory resets and complete wipe/fresh ROM flash. Currently I am on CM snapshot M6. If anyone could please me that would be great. It is starting to become pain in my side.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm running CM11 and within the last couple of days I've noticed my status LED is stuck in the green charging state. I should post a pic of my battery usage graph - it looks pretty stupid. The battery level is going up while it says it's on battery and it thinks it's been charging for the last 8 hours or so while it's been unplugged. Has anyone else seen this? I have one of those huge MPJ brick batteries that comes with a bigger battery cover. Hardware problem? Software problem? Or maybe I just wipe my battery stats and it's fine. I'm kind of hoping I actually unlocked God Mode for my phone and the battery won't ever run out.

I have seen this on older cm builds. Its definitely a rom thing. Usually a full reboot fixes this...till next time. And if I remember correctly it won't happen everytime. I hope this helps you.
Huh, haven't seen that issue in a while. In my experience, simply plugging it in and removing the plug a couple of times will reset the LED. A full reboot would fix it as well.

I rebooted last night and that seemed to do the trick.... for now. I think it eventually started happening again the last time I fixed it by rebooting. We'll see.
I have been using Nexus 5 for a year and half now. After upgrading to android 6.0.1 recently, I have been facing serious battery issues, such as:
1. Sudden shut down of the device, from various % of battery remaining. After trying to switch back on, the battery shows empty, or even 5-10% charge remaining.
2. If I charge it fully and then switch to safe mode, the phone works fine, the discharge rate is pretty stable and long-lasting. If I then try to switch back to normal mode from safe mode with a simple restart, the battery percentage again shows drastic change in between the two modes.
3. Sometimes when I keep it in safe mode, the battery percentage shows an increase, even if it's not charging.
* Yesterday I did a factory reset, yet these problems continue. I am confused about this being a battery problem, android bug or something else entirely.
I am a newbie in this forum, so please pardon me if I am missing some things here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Yesterday evening I charged my N5 to 100%, used it 5-10 minutes while in bed and turned it off; this morning I turned it on, used it for other 5 mins (the charge was 86%) and it shut down on its own: when I tried to switch it back on it appeared to be completely discharged.
This happened several times in the last weeks, alongside a way faster discharge of the battery.
Is there a way to check if this is related to some software or it a physical problem of the battery? And, in case, is it possible to change it?
Flash back to stock LP to see if the problem goes away. If the problem continues, it could be time for a new battery.
I've not been playing with roms and stuff for a while and I don't remember that, if I flash stock LP (I'm on stock Marshmallow now, if that matters) will I have everything on my phone wiped?

...anybody?
You could try flashing everything except the userdata.img file. After flashing the other partitions, erase cache before booting the LP ROM for the first time.
I always recommend taking a back up of your data before flashing anything to the phone as there is always the possibility that something goes wrong.
What about calibrating your battery?

I tried to install an app to calibrate the battery but I'd need to root my phone to make it work (as now it's not rooted), and if I remember correctly the root process would wipe my phone (and as right now I don't have much time for that I'd rather try first everything I can without wiping).

Alright, though I'm afraid it might come down to that..
But lemme know anyway if you managed to fix your battery issue without having to calibrate the battery. I had a similar problem but it hasn't gone away yet even after calibrations. Maybe a new battery is in order.
