My Fuze recently stopped charging. It also gets warm to the touch now.
I bought a new OEM battery and it solved the problem for about three days, but then same problem.
I read somewhere that the Fuze has some sort of shut-off when the battery doesn't work to prevent overheating (or something like that).
It's still under warranty, but I would rather not have to flash back to stock AT&T ROM, etc.
Any ideas would be welcome.
So that's why you're sending it back! That sucks-I have no idea how to fix it, but since you now have two batteries, you could get one of those cradles that has a re-charging slot for spare batteries. Does it not recharge over usb as well as with a wall-charger? Perhaps the issue is with your charger, and not with the fuze. You might look into different charging methods, if you have them available.
No, FT, not getting an iPhone!
Weird that I woke up this morning and my phone did have a 92% charge (hadn't been getting over 20% in the last 10 days), but it is draining quickly without any use.
I'll try my USB charger, but I don't think that's it.
I can get a new one under warranty, but then I have to flash back, flash, set up again; lot of time involved.
i assume youve tried taking the battery out for over 30 mins, then putting it back in, leaving it shut off and charging for over 3 hours without interuptions or turning it on?
I also assume you are using original charger?
Have you considered that the rom/software you are using is wiping the battery out? Loathed to say it, but have you tried HR or reflash different rom as a last resort?

Definitely. I removed some recently installed software, but no luck. Yes, a hard reset is scheduled for tonight. If that doesn't work, stock ROM flash and return to AT&T.
I'll try your ideas and let you know what happens.
I have a similar problem, however it still charges. Fuze gets really warm at sporadic times, and i'm starting to think it's because of the charger. I'm in Syria right now and using a converter and i'm starting to think it's because of it; swapping it in as soon as i get back.

I went to India a few years ago, and my wife made me leave all electronic stuff behind because she'd heard of stuff like that. You might want to ease off on the usage while you're over there.
mm it is weird though, as the htc chargers are now designed for multi area usage with just the plug part fitting into the adaptor/transformer.... obviously a cost cutting excerise from htc, so in theroy it should it ok for multi area use. I went to the maldives recently and had no problems with my HD
I had the same problem with my Omnia, but I just had to buy a new battery and never had the Problem again.
Overheating Problem in my Samsung i780
I have this same problem where my unit overheats, really hot to the touch. After switiching similar same spec orig batteries, the problem stays on which only means it is the unit and/or the unit's charging system that is faulty.
Any simple in-house remedy for this?
Planning to upgrade fw, though.
Thanks!
Reboot is everywhere on this forum and I did have a problem with it in the beginning. Owning the phone for three weeks now and I can honestly say that the reboot issue just went away.
The reboot issue may be related to installing new applications. The first week I owned the device I constantly downloaded new applications from the market, and next thing you know I get a reboot whenever I charge my phone.
So I did something different after restoring it to factory setting. Every time I download a new application I re-started my G2X and never had the reboot issue again.
I have read that most of the reboot complaints arise from the first few days after owning the device. So what do most people do after getting their phone during the first week? Download applications! Try re-starting your device after you install a new application from the market and see if you still get the reboot the next time you recharge the device.
I gave the G2X some time, and for me to get acquainted to it, and I can honestly say that I'm loving it more. Reading this forum only made me paranoid that this device is simply faulty, but giving it a chance to do its job simply made it more and more amazing everyday.

My opinion is strictly comprised from anecdotal evidence but I believe the reboots to be more dual-core/battery related. I don't think they're currently handled correctly in the system. I honestly don't believe there is anything that we can do on our end until LG releases the updates.
Could be. I do NOT have reboots on my phone running CM7. The battery driver is stupid so one minute the phone will say 39% then dead the next. But the phone was legitimately dead and wouldn't boot without a charge.
I've had mine on for 5 days before I broke down and flashed the latest CM7 nightly.
I don't run any crazy software that I didn't on my Nexus One or other. If I do download something, I'll play with it and uninstall it.
Here is my list:
Word Feud
Kingdoms Live
XDA Premium
Launcher Pro
WiFi Explorer
Rom Manager Premium

I recently got a phone off craigslist so was really tensed abt the reboot problem. Didn't have any reboot issue while charging (I used the charger i use for G2 rather than the stock one as i heard complaints). But as said above, i left the phone at 49% in the night. Got up in the morning and then used it for 3hours straight and guess what.. the status still said 48%. And then when i was using suddenly i got a battery low popup for a fraction of second and then phone went down. As said above, couldn't get it to start at all unless i charged it. So is there a way to fix this with out rooting and all that stuff?

No. How do we do that? Mine is not rooted. Still running stock android without a sim card as im waiting for my unlock code ..
The calibration i know is let it die and charge it to 100%.. But even while charging , the battery % doesn't give the right info unless i remove and replug the charger in multiple times.

I do and haven't had any rebooting issues.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I guess somehow my G2X decided to act out on me for some reason. Woke up this morning with the phone off after leaving it charging all night, then the reboot cycle started. I didn't know it was this bad when it does happen. The only changes I did that I can think of was that I played a lot of games yesterday. I did notice the back near the camera heating up after maybe 10mins of playing, and was also on the phone for awhile.
I love this phone, and I'm impressed with the hardware aspect of it, but it tested my patience with the rebooting. I was actually scared for a bit that I won't be able to have any phone for the day.
If this continues I'm pretty sure this is going back. Just happy I have three months with costco for an exchange. Waiting for the release of GB, and hoping they also have a fix for the reboot issue. If the HTC Sensation does hold up with no issues then exchange it is. Yikes
Hi, so i say batteries because i already tried 3 different ones. My problem started in gingerbread when i could not charge pass 50~60%, won't even matter how much time i have it "charging", then i rooted and install the AT&T release of ICS 4.0.4, then some days later it started to won't charge pass 1% and sometimes lowers to 0% and if i disconnect turns off, and connected never charges. I have tried with different chargers also, i have tried every forum "solution", factory resetting, procedure and no luck. If i go into CWM and delete batterystats or to do anything, the phone doesn't turn off, that's weird also. I bought an external charger and charged the three batteries to full, and when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or 0% and turns off if i disconnect.
So anybody who can help me with this, i would extremely grateful. Thanks

Hi, yes i have bbs installed and i dont see any weird wakelocks, right now is just audio, which i read is normal. Today i get a 4th new charger and cable OEM Samsung to try, but honestly i dont think it will help.
The thing that confuses me the most, is that i charged every battery I've tried in an external charger, so the battery IS actually full, but when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or even 0%. :crying:

Charge the battery in another phone or device, if you can. That would be the only option.
To be honest it sounds like something you may have installed or run on your phone, you said it started only a few days after upgrading to ICS which I'm guessing is how long it took you to finish restoring everything from GB.
My advice is to do a complete reset to the phone using kies, let it run for a few days with the minimal stuff you need and then start adding few apps at a time and wait to see if everything runs ok.

He can't do anything to it, no battery life, it will get stuck at flash or reset (kies) and brick.
The charger doe not charge, so he can;t even do it with the usb plugged. If he had power there are lot's of thing to test, ODIN or flash.

I'm out of warranty time now.
He said he already used an external charger and it didn't help, unless all 3 of his batteries are trash it's an issue with the phone.
He also said as long as his phone stays connected it runs fine so using kies should work I guess.
If nothing works I'd say it's some type of hardware issue and that means he will have to pay for a repair or he will have to upgrade.

Just take it to a small shop that unlocks or fixes phones, something small but nice looking, with bunch of phones for sale. Not Bestbuy or something)
They would usually ship the phone to a factory for fixing, that means they ship it to Samsung facility where some dude does work on the side.
I had my main board replaced to OEM for $190 where Rogers doing same would have charged me $420.
Your problem should not cost much, but you can;t put price on how relived you would be once it's fixed)

Hi, just to make an update, i did uninstall some stuff with root uninstaller, now the battery charges!! BUT to about 15~17%, then starts to discharge itself even connected to a charger. :crying:
So I suggest to do what I said before, start from fresh and install slowly, something must have screwed with your rom.

Would you recommend to install the stock release of ICS 4.0.4 or a custom rom? if so which is the best ?Im considering using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195. Thank you
OK, so i installed this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195, the battery charges to about 19%, then starts discharging itself being connected to the charger. This is driving me crazy, i have tried so may things and nothing, been a few weeks without using the phone normally. :crying:
First go fresh stock using kies to see if the issue still persists, if it does it's probably a hardware issue. If you know someone that has a device with a battery thats works fine and it fits your device ask him to try it out so you can be certain it's your device and not all of your batteries.

Ok, i did all that i could, reinstalling stock GB 2.3.5, same problem. So im pretty sure it is a hardware issue, or possibly the 3 batteries i have are trash. I will see some place in san antonio texas, that can fix it. Thanks for the help everyone. Sadly this stuff happens, but what can you do.
PS. If someone sees this and thinks that can fix my problem ill gladly discuss payment for your work. Pm me. Thanks.
Not sure if this is the right forum or page for this thread but here goes. I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket that has worked flawlessly for me. A couple of weekends ago I went out to eat with some friends and forgot my phone at home. When I got home I found my phone sitting on top of my shop vac where I left it. I noticed that the battery indicator showed the phone almost dead which was odd. I put it on the charger over night as I always do. The next day I noticed the phone losing about 10% battery every hour. I assume the magnet in the motor on the shop vac has done something to my phone. I tried 2 other batteries and got the same result. I reset the phone and also forced a reflash and still the same problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this??????
Just to be clear, the phone can usually go 2 days before it would go totally dead and literally changed that day.

Install betterbatterystats (search on xda) - that thread has many details to debug the batter issues. Anything could have changed, there were lot of updates to google related apps in the past few days any of which could have changed the setting started draining the battery. It could as well be a coincidence.
My issue is that when I take a photo on my Nexus 5 and it is under around 60% of battery it shuts down, the screen just goes black (phone is complexly off and dead) and the device will not respond to ANY input until it is plugged into a power source, then it will boot up and function normally. This issue occurred about two weeks after I installed Android 5 however I do not believe it is related due to factory resets, different roms and the issue is still persisting. When the problem started I had recently (a week or so before) moved to Germany, my initial thoughts were that the battery was the problem as when it first happened the phone rebooted and only had 5% left even though the device had around 50% before I took the photo, from then on the battery life was terrible so I purchased a new battery and installed it. The battery problem was solved (battery life was normal) and when the phone crashed it didn't boot up with any difference to the percentage of battery that was remaining. I am now thinking that something to do with the change in power supplies damaged the device. I think this is unlikely though as Australia (where I am from) and Germany (where I was when the issue started) both run on 240V, the stock power adapter was used just with a euro adapter. I have tried to collect logcats however I can't see any errors before it cuts off (I'm no dev by any means so I could be missing something)
Last thing is that this issue NEVER occurs when the device is charging so I'm thinking that it is a hardware problem. And of course the phone is out of warranty.
Any help or light on this occurrence would be amazing.
Try with some custom camera apps on play store, If that didn't work then i think the problem is with regard to hardware.
Let me know if that worked.

It didn't seem to help, It also crashes when running Geek Bench 3 so I am thinking that it may be a CPU problem (CPU gets ramped up when taking photos) So I'm not sure what to do, it's beginning to be a major issue. Thanks for your help though.
I also have the exact same problem, I believe it started a while ago. The only thing that seems to help for me is to plug it in as well.. Any news regarding the issue?

It sure doesn't look that way. And it doesn't happen every time. I also kind of got the feeling that it happens when the battery is kind of low.. (Like below 60% or so, at least the last time it was 52)

Did you try fastboot flash system system.img?
Yes I did, I have tried different versions of android from googles factory image page and nothing seems to have helped :/
Does anyone know if the new Android 5.1 update resolves the issue? There's no OTA just yet, but the factory images have been published.

I ran into the same issue with my N5. It started happening for me when I flashed to version 5.1 (factory image).
same problem here
I have the same problem. It is worst since I replaced the battery some days ago, and actually it just happened again while I was trying to reply to this thread, not using the camera (but it's the first time it happens while not taking pictures).
Anybody got some new info? I'm on 5.1, btw.
i am trying to fix my friends phone. she has a nexus 5, and as the battery was only lasting 8 hours, she decided to buy a new battery and replace it.
since the replacement, the phone shuts off randomly, once she takes a picture.
it can only be powered back on, if it is plugged into a charger.
now we changed the original LG battery into the phone, but since 7 days there is not one reboot with the original battery.
she did buy 2 "original" batteries from ebay, and the polar battery with 2450a but all 3 batteries have the same issue.
as the original LG battery has no issues, i suspect that the non-original fake china copies sold on ebay and amazon have a problem.
now she has ordered the original battery from LG directly, and once that one is tested i will post a comment again.
cheers thomas
I also have the problem (using Polarcell Akku for my Nexus 5).
Switched back to the original Battery: Problem solved.
Gesendet von meinem Androiden mit Tapatalk Pro
I'll swap the original battery in
I'll update you on what happens
Found the issue
So it looks like that was the issue, the old battery has its own problems but the issue with it shutting down when the phone was under load has stopped.
Anyone know where I can get a genuine battery in Australia?
confirmed new original/genuine bateries have the same problem. Tested with Lg direct supply battery, pollarcell 2450 battery, eBay battery (seems exactly the same as original LG supply, so i believe is it genuine too).
i think the problem isn't the battery at all, the phone is also eating more power, then under high load conditions and low battery charge (no really need to be low) adding the flashligh comsumption discharges all the capacitors on the main power line and the phone hangs.
a rare thing makes the original unbranded battery wich came with the phone to work well even if battery autonomy is broken. I'll try this weekend to transplant the small ciruit boar of the real original battery of the phone into another of the new ones i have. Maybe the output power regulator itself need to relax a bit to keep the main power line with battery voltage current all the time. And the new ones aren't relaxed...
i'll post again until few tests during this weekend.
That would be awesome but I do believe that in my case it was battery related as I replaced my battery about a week ago and it hasn't happened since, I've tried many many times even when the battery was on 2% and it still didn't crash I bought the replacement on eBay (I believe it's genuine) and everything seems to work correctly. I'll be interested to see your test results though.
I started to have the same exact issue with my Nexus 5 camera and it won't boot until I connect it to a charger. I noticed that when I turn off the flash this issue disappears.
