Galaxy S3 crazy problem - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
this is my first post here.
My Samsung Galaxy S3 is acting really weird. As I am using it, suddenly horizontal lines appear on the screen and go like crazy. After a while, the phone screen freezes.
Sometimes, it may reboot by itself, but most of the times I have to remove the battery in order to get it working again. However, after rebooting, the battery percentage greatly falls. i.e. from 40% to 3%.
It is rare, but also happens, that the led buttons flash like crazy, and even the notification LED.
I have to admit, that the battery is a bit swollen. But, can all these problems be related to the battery issue?
Does someone have a similar issue, or maybe can provide help?
Here is a video of the problem:
Thank you,
jim

Any opinion or suggestion?

Yes, a swollen battery can cause many problems relating to device and battery usage. Also, please stop using your device ASAP, swollen batteries can leak and/or explode.
LG Optimus 2X:
ROM: Tonyp TheROM Build 26 New Bootloader
Kernel: Kowalski Kernel M1 New Bootloader 2.6.39.4 W/ RAM Hack
Bootloader:ICS Bootloader
Recovery: TWRP 2.6.0.0 For New BL
Baseband: 1035.21
Nexus 4:
ROM: Stock 4.4.4 W/ Root (Xposed, GPU Drivers, Dalvik/Bionic Patches)
Kernel: Franco r213
Bootloader: Stock Bootloader (Unlocked)
Recvoery: PhilZ Touch CWM-Based Recovery
Radio:Radio (1.03)[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I definitely think you should take the battery out straight away and dispose of it properly as it's very likely it could explode or burst.
As for the other problems I'm sure they are being caused by the battery but have you tried a full reset of the device?

[HELP] Installed new kernel, phone won't turn on now

I've had my phone up and running on AOKP Milestone 1 and a custom kernel (can't remember the name now) for a few months now. I decided to replace the kernel with Lean Kernel since my phone's been crashing recently, and it was mentioned that the kernel could be the problem (this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842971&page=135).
After installing the kernel and wiping the cache/Dalvik cache, my phone rebooted but would not let me past the lockscreen. I then pulled the battery and attempted to reboot into recovery, but now my phone won't turn on at all. I'm currently charging my phone but no light is coming on, so kinda worried.
Any advice/solutions would be appreciated!
EDIT: I should also mention that if I pull the battery and put it back in, I get a "battery charging" symbol on the screen for a few seconds.
Download mode?

Did you install the proper LeanKernel? If you are on AOKP milestone 1 that is 4.1 based. The newest LeanKernel is 4.2 based. Could be the problem. There are also distinctions between AOSP and TouchWiz kernels. Do you know which version you flashed?
Regardless, if you can get into download mode like hank said, you should be ok.
Can't Boot into recovery with three button method?
Tried getting into download mode?
Well I feel dumb but after some searching around, people recommended just blowing on the battery contacts. This solved it, so case closed! Thanks for all of the advice though.
And yes, the lean kernel was for TouchWiz roms, which got me into this mess in the first place.

[Q] can i flash custom kernel on stock nexus 5, my bootloader is unlocked tho

I am new at this and not sure if I can flash kernel on stock nexus 5.
My nexus is unlocked and so as the boot loader.
I just don't wanna brick my phone. Can some one please tell me I can flash custom kernel on my stock nexus 5.
The reason why I want a custom curner is cause my battery life is poor.
yes, you can. you can flash any aosp kernel, just not caf kernels(any kernel made for cm or cm based roms).

Hi,
What do you mean by "poor battery life"?
Flash another kernel will not obviously improve your battery life. Battery life depends mainly of your use, apps, settings (like screen brightness, synchro), data signal, etc...
For example if you have an app with a ton of wakelocks, flashing another kernel will not do better...
Maybe in first you should identify the cause of your "poor battery life".

[NKD][Android L] Kernel Panic

I think I've solved the mystery of the Kernel Panic on the NKD leaked version of Lollipop. I turned off Power Saving mode competely and have not had a kernel panic since (except for the one that I was hoping to get). After 2 days of running smooth with Power Saving off, I went from stock kernel to KT Kernel and got a kernel panic within 30 minutes. Went back to stock kernel (Power Saving still off) and still have not had a Kernel Panic in 3 more days. My suspicion is that NKD does not like having the power lowered and from what I've read, KT Kernel is under volted by 5 as standard. For those that are getting the Kernel Panic message, try turning off Power Saving and see how that goes.
Has anybody found a root for the new lollipop version?
Has anybody found a root for the new lollipop version on the sport version of the s5?
@Ramer. You sir are a beast.

Is there a stable ROM right now that doesn't random reboot???

I clicked on the Kernel tab, and tried the franco.Kernel, and simply get stuck in bootloop, I look at the tags and it seems like most of the kernels only support the old KitKat..?
In addition, it seems the kernel scenes is a bit haywire now with AOSP/CAF...?
Could someone gimme one or two kernel suggestion that works with rooted OOB 5.0.1? I am just trying to quickly fix my sister's N5 here... she got nothing but nightmare after upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0, constant reboot, crash, battery drain... so i just now wiped the whole thing and flashed a fresh 5.0.1
Any help/suggestion on kernel would be appreciated. <3
Update:
Tried Elemental X, the phone reboots randomly now... And also just googled problem with Nexus 5... it seems like 5.0 and 5.0.1 have TONS of random reboot issues...? Goddamn it Google...
Do any of you have a stable ROM (stock or custom) that doesn't have random reboot issues?

This Nexus 5 is just getting worst... it random reboots now.

Sorry to hear that. Could it possibly be a hardware issue since you say it's happening to you across all software? Corrupted storage media could cause random reboots such as that.
I'm not seeing any myself, though I do reboot the phone about once a week just as a precautionary measure with L's RAM management.
Was having this issue with Stock and Custom ROMS ended up going back to KITKAT and no problems. Hopefully they will have this fixed with 5.1 that will be released soon.
Stock one is allways the best choise. You must be aware, that the stock one is build by a lot of good developers and custom ones are made by individual enthusiasts. There is nothing wrong with that, but the pure logic here speaks by itself.
Used a lot of different roms
ordered my nexus on release day, used quite a few different roms and i've never had a random reboot.

LG G3 Stock 4.4.2 ROOTED- Can't Flash Any Rom Or Kernel Without Failure

I can't flash any rom or kernel without failure. Please help 7t software
Here is a unique one, lets see if anyone has an answer/suggestion...
I have an att 850 LG G3. In stock form here is the sofware information:
Android 4.4.2
Baseband Unknown
Kernel 3.4.0
Build g3_att_us-userdebug 4.4.2 KVT49l
Software D85007t
I have successfully rooted the phone and installed twrp.
When I flash to anything (Cloudy, Spartaxx, Darknight, stock lolipop, d850_20f) I get invalid battery error. When I flash back there is no battery issue. The batteries are fine I have two original batteries and both are charged to 100%.
When I tried to just flash a new KK kernel (d850-rin-1.7) the phone said security error on bootup.
What should I try next? I prefer to stay on the stock rom. My goal is something like cloudy where I get a faster less bloated phone with less heat and lag while getting better battery life but maintaining my camera.
Thanks
