[Q] is this a battery issue? or... - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.

Sure looks like it

I ordered a spare batt and now when i try to put the original one back in the phone does not boot unless i plug the charger in first then it works as normal. So every time i take the batt out i have to plug it in to the wall before i can use it? Pretty much destroys the point in why i got a spare battery

I dont know whats happening but provide the following details and someone here might be able to help.
- which ROM are you using? If stock then which region?
- since when did you start getting this problem?
- did this issue arise after you installed any application?
- did you always used the official smassung charger and battery?
Phone signal is draining out.. not to be negative but looks like you going to have a huge bill this month.

Looks like your phone crashed or froze during a period so it couldn't read the battery statistics.
Stock 2.3.4 from south east england always used default charger, not installed any new apps for weeks now. Happend after a crash followed by automatic restart. Random.

Hi I have a question, is normal that our devices eat so much battery, having the brightness in 0% ?

I think the battery statusbar is wrongly coded... I have the same results as well all the time.. Even when I don't using the screen (during night), the statusbar still shows up about 30% battery consumption...
The thing that affect battery drain the most is 3G mobile data communication in my opinion, because just turing it off, the phone got juiced up for more than 3 times as usual...

Not only turning off the 3g internet, but using for calls as well. that is why i started a discussion thread for that matter but no one seemed to respond to that. maybe it was too large to read??

Saw your thread, but I'm not that sure how I would comment or respond :X, as there doesn't seem to be any solution to fix it.

[Q] Vibrant Won't turn On!

Hi, I have a TMobile Vibrant ROMed and rooted here, and it won't turn on. the soft keys do light up when its plugged in, but that's all it does. The battery is charged for sure because I do have an external battery charger that tells the charge of the battery.
This started happening about a couple days after I flashed AOKP, the odd thing is, prior I had CM7 flashed and it randomly bootlooped on me while using it (read: I was not installing roms/kernels, just regular day usage and it bootlooped)
This time with AOKP, it doesn't turn on at all! If anybody needs further information, I'll be on all day to provide it. Can anybody please help me?
UPDATE : I'm starting to think the screen is dead; I was able to flash stock somehow, and I can hear the unlock sound, but obviously nothing is on the display :/.
You probably already know that you can check for vital signs by plugging it into a PC and checking for a USB connection. You might even be able to get an adb login.
If the screen is dead, you could maybe use it as a... webcam? Wifi widget? Paper-weight? Or spare parts?
Good luck with it. It does sound like bad hardware.

[Q] Battery hit 55c, is my Samsung GS3 damaged?

I woke up this morning sat up and grabbed my phone off my nightstand like I do every morning and dropped it instantly, it was extremely hot. I turned on the screen and saw that my batter was scolding 55c it's normally 27 - 29c when I check it throughout the day. I am really concerned about the longevity of my battery and phone. Was the battery hot enough to permanently damage any of the components? Is the battery safe to use or is it ruined? There doesn't appear to be any swelling.
This is the battery I have and the case I am using. http://www.ianker.com/product/70SMI9300-B1B72A/859

Wrong forum, check the very first thread.
Sounds like your battery is going to rupture, throw it away now.

Right, like i'm going to throw away a brand new $40 battery. :laugh: Where else would I post this? It's a Q and fits under Help. I also searched Google for at least an hour and couldn't find any good information pertaining to the safe temp range.
Like the man said you are in the wrong forum .
You have I9300 or not see sticky top of the page .
Test battery if it swells then do not use it .

Any way to fix the wifi battery issue?

Over the weekend, I was out all day both days and I had pretty good battery life (easily lasted all day). Today, I was at work and on wifi all day and it died by 5:30pm (with 38min screen on time). Today was particularly bad but I've had horrible battery life every day that I've been at work. The only difference I can think of is wifi, since I actually use my phone less while I'm at work.
I've seen lots of discussion about issues with battery life that seemed to be caused by some wifi bug but I'm not sure if there's a conclusive fix other than just waiting for 5.1. Does anyone know why it only affects some users? Every review I've read says that they get 3-4h screen on time and I would have to guess that at least some reviewers use wifi.
I've disabled volte, smart network switch, and wifi calling, but those have not helped. Any other suggestions?
Gotta wait for 5.1. Same thing happened on Nexus 5.
