Hello,
My Xperia Mini started to reboot continuously and the only way to stop it is to remove battery. I think this have something common with battery, because after this happened battery charges very slow (about 5% per hour) but when I plug the charge cable it works fine.
I tryed to flash another rom and kernel but this doesn't helped.
Before that happened it was another issue, when I was turning on the phone battery sometimes was showing 100% (after restart it was fine).
I have unlocked bootloader and root.
When this reboots started I was staying under the sun, can it be caused by overheat? Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks.

i have alredy try other batteries that are fine in other devices
the device dosent have the right drivers for the prophet because the rom get an error while flashing
Have you flashed a ROM before?
If the battery is not working in your device, try checking the connections. There are no 'drivers' for the battery, I can flash a ROM in bootloader after flashing a ROM with nothing in it, which means that the RUU is using the hardware rather than software to determine the battery status.
i cant flash again the pro+het because the update utility verify the battery status and then give an error because the prophet doesnt have more than 50 of battery . . . help please
My prophet had the same issue in the past weeks.
I had to restart several times until the phone recognize the batery.
The issue is not only at the OS level because even with the phone turned off it was not able to charge (you can see because of the orange lid).
Sometimes the phone just stoped recognizing the batery and the charge value just stops decreasing.
My guess is that this is related to some ROM's i've been testing, have you switched ROM in the past weeks?
Last night i started using iProphet 1.0.2.3 (sounds familiar? l3v5y) and until now i'm not having problems. (Just appears to consume a lot of batery but ill confirm this in the next days).
The battery drain may be because of the camera. but you can remove it if you want. (it is an installed app)
I think the issue is to do with the hardware, and so upgrading the software will not help. If your charging circuit is damaged, the battery will not be detected. If the device is under warranty, I would suggest getting it repaired...
I've just been looking at the Universal Wiki and I may have a solution:
Solution 3: Recalibrate the battery (2)
Charge the battery overnight with the supplied poweradapter, not with the USB cable
Drain the battery without SD-card, powersaving off and backlight on full
At some level, the device will turn off. Switch it on and go to the bootloader and drain the battery until it's really empty
Charge the battery again with the supplied poweradapter
The idea of this is to completely discharge and then recharge the battery, so that the battery status monitoring system in the battery is reset.
I had a same prob, tested with new battery problem continues...

Hi All,
After installing Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.69.21.exe onto my QTEK S200 it's completely dead. I cannot start it up anymore, even with the battery connected to power. The orange charging light doesn't even go on. I don't get anything here, no QTEK screen, no boot, no nothing even after pressing the button for several seconds.
Anybody knows what happened? Is my battery dead? When I connect the QTEK to the power supply without the battery inserted, the light flashes red for a short second and then... nothing... The battery was almost fully charged when I started the upgrade. IPL was at 2.20.
euh... help!!!
I've already opened a thread for this but anyway... help help
I'm afraid i cannot help you much...
When that happend to me i just made several resets and tryed to start charging until it worked.
After that i've changed the ROM i was using and my batery seems to work better now. Sometimes if i overclock it stop's getting the correct batery values but never stop charging like it used to.
Try charging with diferent methods, a couple of times i was trying to charge with the standart (power line) cable and only worked if i used usb connected to my pc. Maybe a different voltage worked... i'm not sure.
Best of luck

thank you...
Hello
Yesterday I was trying to migrate to a 32GB SD card from a 8GB SD card and I thought I had bricked my HTC Explorer (I don't recall what I did or what happened, but I was running Flyrom v4, and the phone all of a sudden wouldn't turn on) - I was getting 3-7 vibrations and nothing else when I tried to power the device on. I found a thread here about resolving the same issue on a Wildfire S and I mistakenly flashed the rom linked in that thread, following the instructions in that thread, not realising I should be using a rom for the Explorer (if a similar rom exists?).
I'm not even sure what was described in that thread worked but my device suddenly turned on again after following that advice - something like copy the rom to the SD card, wait 2-3 minutes whilst holding vol up+power, then press vol up, then wait another 2-3 mins.
I've now gone back to a locked/unrooted official rom state by using the RUU for the HTC Explorer because I thought doing so would resolve the issues. However since I've done what I did to try to resolve what I thought was a brick, but even before using the RUU, I've developed further problems with the phone.
What is currently happening is that the phone is heating up more than usual, especially while on charge via USB, and thus the battery stops charging, due to the inbuilt safety feature - the phone gets incredibly warm all round, even on the screen, it didn't before.
Also this morning when my battery did have some charge left in it (approx 50%) the phone would turn itself off after about 3.5 minutes and I had to pull the battery and reinsert to get it to boot up again.
I'm not sure why the phone is now heating up so much or what is/was causing it to turn off after 3.5 minutes.
I've tried checking CPU frequencies, suspecting the Wildfire rom I flashed messed with the firmware somehow at a level that hasn't been resolved by using the RUU, using SetCPU (device is not currently unocked/rooted so I can't set anything) but they seem normal, at 600/480 (this is what they've always been at since I got the phone?!), with governer on "ondemand" and the other option on "deadline".
I hoped flashing the RUU rom would resolve the problem(s) but it hasn't.
I don't have another battery to test (nor funds to buy one), but I don't see how it could be a battery fault when the whole phone is getting warm and everything was fine yesterday.
Please could someone advise me on what could be the cause of the issues I've now got with the phone and point me in the direction of a fix for these two issues (probably 2 parts of the same big issue), if there is one, as I can't use the phone unless it's plugged in via USB, which effectively renders it useless.
Really hope someone here can help otherwise I will either need to buy a new battery, or as I suspect will be the case, a new phone, and I have funds for neither.
Thanks in advance.
HI Everyone,
This is my first thread. Recently came across xdadevelopers forum. I am using Sony Xperia ZL C6502 for about 2.5 years now. Few days ago, when I was using the camera app, it crashed and shut off unexpectedly. Then when i tried turning it on , it keeps switching off after the point where it says 'SONY XPERIA' (generally within 3-5 seconds). Firstly , I was able to switch it on properly while on the charging mode and work with it when battery is charged upto 70 % and more. But the problem got severe and now even when I charge it, it keep repeating this loop of switching on and switching off at ' SONY XPERIA' as mentioned above forcing me to open the battery switch from inside and switch it off or by pushing it into either flashmode or fastboot mode. Even this restarting process consumes alot of battery and battery level dips very fast without any heating or so. I only manage to switch it on properly sometimes by means of charging the battery upto the level and then switching on and using it while still charging ( this works one in the fifty times). I have tried flashing new lollipop version and even tried repairing thru PC companion. No Progress. Went to service centre , they said it is some boot supply issue and battery and boot supply needed to be replaced . I am doubtful as of now if I either use it solely on charger or battery or if i use it on both.. the problem is same.
Is it a battery issue or a corrupt bootloader or something not in my knowledge. I have tried this flashtool. Suggest me what should I do now . Final alternative will be to shed money to the service centre. PLEASE HELP
Hey everyone, would really nice some help here, I are galaxy note 3, just installed a note 5 port (Darklord) rom on it.
Everything is working great except the fact that the phone every once and while signs that it is charging while not being plugged in, it goes off every 1-3 seconds and repeat.
This doesn't happen all the time and I cannot relate it anything.
I have tried taking off the battery.
Tried draining the battery and charging it full before starting the device.
This has happen in 2 previous versions as well.
I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem and because I am new I cannot post to the roms thread.
I know my other option is to change rom but this is so good I am willing to endure this bug.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this? or just take away the indication that the phone is charging in general (solve the symptom not the problem)
Thanks in advance
Thread closed / New thread opened in the Note 3 forum.
Hi everyone, i know the title seems like it's just a trival matter, but trust me it's not.
The phone was bought new in August of last year (2015).
The story so far: I've been using sultanxda ROM for over 6 months without any issues, but i decided to test a different ROM, so i downloaded Darkobas rom and GAPPS, the ROM and Gapps installed fine but when i started the device and i was doing the initial configuration the phone rebooted by itself. It happened about 3/4 times and after that the phone had entered a bootloop. I tried to reflash the ROM and gapps, but the phone was restarting during the flash in TWRP. I decided to go stock Cyanogen OS, so i did a clean fastboot install of cyanogen OS. Everything went well the phone was working fine, but a few hours after installation the phone was randomly rebooting again, i decided i'll live with it and wait and see if it goes away by itself.
The phone was rebooting 2/3 times a day, during different acitivities so it was hard to pinpoint what might the issue be (even when locked in my pocket with all apps killed). After a few days of usage it just went straight to bootloop, after that i had issues to even install a rom (even via fastboot), because it would install everything fine and then it wouldn't start properly and would be in a bootloop (straight after installation).
I also tried the Bacon Root Toolkit installation as well as formatting everything and wiping everything. But even with the usage of Bacon Root Toolkit the random reboots happened.
So i installed an older TWRP recovery, i wiped everything re-formatted the phone to F2FS (was EXT 4 b4) and installed a F2FS compatible ROM (can't remember which one), after that installation everything seemed to work fine, but after a day or so the random reboots came back to haunt me again. So i reformatted the phone to EXT-4 again, installed stock cyanogenmod via fastboot (the 4.4.2 version), and updated it to 6.0.1 via OTA (during the course of a day or so, but even when the phone was on 4.4.2 i had a random reboot once), and the reboots returned ( i tried many different solutions, even the command line in TWRP "make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15"). I had NO IDEA what might be causing them but i thought that maybe the processor is ****ed and it's overheating, i returned to sultanxda rom (with the underclock to 1957 mHz).
After returning the phone booted correctly after a clean install via TWRP, but now it's rebooting again, and sometimes it happens 4/5 times in a ROW, sometimes it doesnt even reboot, but goes to black screen and I have to push the power button for 6 + seconds for it to reboot.
I've tried the stability test, or running antutu a few times in a row to verify if maybe it's the processor's/RAM's fault, but the phone didn't care, it rebooted randomly (sometimes 6/7 antutu runs in a row and nothing happened, sometimes rebooting in my pocket with all apps shut down). I've tried different launchers/messing with WiFi options/turning off the proximity check/turning off the trust agents nothing seems to make a difference. At this point I'm at a loss of what to do so i came here to ask for any advice. Is there any way to check if the phones internal memory is corrupted in some way ? I've tried searching for some apps but nothing turned out.

flash this solved my problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fix-brickloop-audio-fx-fc-efs-corrupt-t2879061
Flashed the persist.img the problem still occurs. 15 minutes after the flash the phone shutdown, black screen.
Your phone battery is dying...replace your phone battery and all the problem will go away....random reboot a couple of times and then goes straight to bootloop is a sign of a dying battery....trust me i know this cause it happen to me before and i'm sure you have the same problems....
this problems will get worst when you can only boot into your rom while your phone is connected to the charger and goes straight to bootloop when you disconnect the charger....

Shouldn't the battery meter go crazy after reboots or something ? Well i guess i'll try this, the battery is not a costly component. Are there perhaps any bigger batteries than the original one with bigger backs ?

Nope...the battery remains like normal but random reboot will happen more regularly until bootloop....
Not sure if there is a bigger battery but there is one thread here that show one battery with 3600mAh and don't buy OP2 battery as it is not compatible with OPO...

Ok thanks for the help, will report back with new battery.
Switched the battery, the random reboots still happen, decided to do a clean flash, after wiping the phone in TWRP during the flash of GAPPS the phone rebooted itself and is in a boot loop currently.
Ok so the reboots stopped, it was a battery issue, but now i have a problem with battery indicator it's stuck at 50 % all the time and the phone does not show when it's charging (no information, no LED color), but the battery is being charged because when i shut it down and connect the charge and battery level (which shows when the phone is off) increases.
I've tried to use it untill it shuts down then i charged it while it was off for 6 hours, but after turning it on it still showed 50 %. I've also deleted the batterystats.bin using TWRP but it still did not help. Any ideas how to make it show the correct % ?

told you it was a battery issues but look like you have another battery issues here...try disconnect the battery from the motherboard for 1 minutes before connect it again and do offline charge for atleast 30 minutes....after 30 minutes reboot the phone and look at the battery percentages...if its goes above 50% then you have solved your problems....if it doesn't then you might bought a bad battery....you need to contact the seller that sell you the battery and asked for replacement....
Well unfortunately after changing the battery for a second one (the random reboots started again on the new one) the issue still prevails, so i'm currently writing a ticket to oneplus in hopes of some help.
Thank you iPusak Gaoq™

Thank you Thank you thank you.
