Ok I have searched and not found anything like this yet so I am going to ask. I know the phone has battery problems all around for a lot of people. Mine seems to be fine when it is on. It can sit and idle powered on all day locked and stay at full charge. It runs about 10 hours with minimal use and maybe 8 hours with some data use and a few calls and texts. Now I am experiencing a wired problem. When I go to work we cannot have cell phones. I leave my phone in my locker and power it off. After my 12 hour shift is up at work I come back to the phone with a dead battery? What could be causing this? And has anyone else noticed this issue?
defective battery? pull the battery and see if it still does it. If it does, gotta be a defective battery.. if it doesn't do it when pulled, you're not shutting off the phone maybe?
Yesterday I tried leaving the battery out. I took the battery out and let it sit 12 hours and it still had full charge when I put it back in. When I go to work I long press on the power/lock button and choose Power off then I watch it shut down and it just dies before I come back. I wish I could watch it the whole time. Today I left the phone off for around 6 hours and came back and it was fine though. Maybe it gets turned on some how at work. I have no idea. Or when I go to power it on it is just the issue where the phone isn't reading battery % correctly and it just says 0%
Seems like a battery driver issue or a defective battery? definitely call t-mobile and check if it's the battery. I've had some issues as well, but not that bad.
Weird.
So the phone powers off after you turn the screen on and it won't come back on? Try putting the phone in airplane mode.
Also, I'm assuming you are running the stock roms?
Might also want to check into a battery monitor to see if any 1 thing is pulling it down.
I think it might just be the battery driver. Sounds like the phone is in suspend so it doesn't power off properly until the screen is turned on and is revived, updating the battery % status, seeing 0%, and turning off.
CM7 fixed the wonky battery issue a few nights ago. Right now, I think a current CM based rom is the best bet as it has most of the drivers fixed. I'ved used mine pretty heavily today, unplugged at 8am and I just got a 15% battery warning at 11:30pm. It will usually last until I go to bed at midnight but I might want to play with it some more.
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.
Since I updated to 8107 I have the strange issue that my Omnia 7 discharges while it is turned off.
Before I go to sleep I always turn it off, yesterday for example it was at 46%. When I turned it on in the morning, it had activated the battery saver and was at 15%. Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone know what causes this? It seems as if it doesn't properly shutdown or something. :/
Well I have experienced something like this on my HTC HD7.
It has to do with the battery that hasnt calibrated itself properly as far as I could see..
This was not over a full night so I can't say that but I had it that if I put the phone of the charger (100%), rebooted and then it showed at only 92%.
This topic tells you a bit more
What you get is a huge drop in battery so I'm not entirely sure if it's the same thing but I have noticed something similar to what you're explaining so it sounds to me as if your phone isnt calibrated properly anymore.
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.

Same exact issue, but I have the t-mobile version.
Very weird!

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.
Hi guys,
I'm running cataclysm + elemental kernel and everything was working fine but from Saturday to Sunday i let the phone's battery goes down to 0. Next day, i connected the charger to the nexus 5 and the phone was not able to boot. My apps were being optimized and it never completed for all aps. So, i let the phone charge 30 minutes and then i was able to turn it on. Now the problem is, the phone charged extremely slowly and never reached 100, only 98?? Another thing, is that now my battery is draining quickly. It drained 15% over night without anything turned on (not even WIFI) and checked with GSAM battery and android system was with 26% of usage . It could be anything related with the charger?? It has been working fine for more than a year. I would like to try to understand what might be the problem before trying return to stock and check if it solves this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I tried now to connect it to my laptop and the device isn't recognized at my laptop. I already tried with two USB cables. At the bootloader it was able to recognize it, but not always. I'm getting scared that might be a hardware issue. Please, anyone has any idea of what might be happening??
Thanks a lot!
