At first, I know there are a lot of topics about overheated batteries but I still need your help.
I always recharge my phone when i'm asleep, near my head. A couple of days ago I woke up lying with my shoulder on my phone. Where I completely covered my phone with body. The phone was verry hot and Android gave me a warning sign (redthingy) , that the battery temperature was way too high.
I shut down the phone, and got the battery out - just too cool it down.
And now my phone wont recharge as it should be.
While my phone is turned off , it recharges just fine. (Temperature stays normal)
While my phone is turned on , it won't recharge - or really slow.
When my battery is at low % and I try too recharge it's just getting hotter - but it stays at the same percentage.
So while my phone and battery both survived the cuddle, they're working not as the should.
Hopefully you guys can help me !

this piece of crap phone started to go worser by the minute.
First, it heats up the battery whenever i use wifi or 3g and it will also shut down. Switch battery and it will last a bit longer then still shut down.
Now, it give me this problem where a 91% charged battery would turn out to be red under 5% once insert. The battery indicator will recover slowly over time for no reason.
And i am also having trouble charging the battery by phone, if i charge the phone by usb when the phone is ON, the phone will heat up and turn off and continue to heat up for infinity until unplug.
I don't know what should i do with my x10 anymore... i am not paying out another 700 bucks CAD for a new phone in canada after just 1 years use *out of warranty*.
anyone have a fix for these? or know how do i revert back to 1.6 android?
Where is justice! Samsung should crush Sony already.
My appologies if this question has been answered somewhere else, I could not find any other threads with a similar situation.
My phone was dropped and ever since then it has not shown me the right battery level. It will charge on USB or AC up to 99% and stop. I connected it to AC power 30 hours ago and it never gave me the green light. This is after a full drain and then recharge. It did however stop charging at some point. I noticed no light was on, red or green, turned on the phone and my battery had gone from 99% to 41% in 22 minutes. I plugged it into USB and it appears to be charging back up. My widget now shows 84% with 4334mV (i dont know if this is right or not).
It is not an issue with the battery. My wife has the same phone and I swapped batteries. Mine works fine in her phone and I have the same problem with hers.
My other issue is that when I use the phone off the charger it will not show me the level accurately when it is draining battery. Example being, I unplug the phone at 99%, within 5 minutes I'm down to 92% (i know this is not unusual because of how the batteries charge). But, I will stay at 92% for hours and hours, with moderate use of internet, phone, and apps. Then it will fall from 92 to 60 ish in a few minutes and do the same thing. Sometimes it will tell me that I'm getting low (under 15%) other times it just turns off a second or two after the notification. If I plug in the phone and turn it on it shows me 1% and charges up to 99%.
In the few minutes I have been typing my phone charged up to 91% with 4336mV.
I was running ViperRom ICS when the issue started. Restored it back to Stock with no root and the issue remained. Now I am running Mean Rom ICS with the same issues.
I have cleared the battery cache in recovery too.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you kiss it. your phone will love you and it'll be all better. NOW KISS IT AND TELL YOUR PHONE YOU'RE SORRY FOR DROPPING IT! LOL!
Based on my experience with batteries of all kinds, it sounds like one of the cells may be damaged. Best bet is to get a new battery. They are decently cheap for a good one. Im actually looking for an extended unit myself. If you come across one, please PM me.
Thanks
That was my first thought but when I swap my battery with my wife's battery I have the same problem. Both batteries work fine in her phone but not in mine.
Sorry to bring this up again, my bad. But seriously you are not the only one with this issue.. I had the same problem since stock, swap battery didn't help either.
My s3 has an ODD battery drainage issue. I went to take a nap today and my s3 dropped over 40% in charge sitting on my bed side. My s3 also doesnt charge while on charger it discharges so it slowly goes down while on charge. It however does charges up when i turn it off.
- Also yesterday I was out and noticed my phone was at 35% battery and i knew my phone battery would die if i left it on so i pulled my battery out and left it in my pocket. When the time cmae i had to use the phone i put the battery back into my phone and turned it on. MY PHONE LOST 15% charge even while OFF and battery not connecting to the phone.
What do i do?

How old is your battery?
Definitely sounds like the battery. I had a similar issue with mine a little while back where the battery would lose the majority of it's charge quite rapidly, or be at 50%, and then it would suddenly die, and then when I managed to get it back on it would be at 2-3%.
ETA: My problems vanished after a new battery install.
New battery needed.
I also noticed that Anker have their S3 batteries on for half price at Amazon UK, well worth an investment.
Hello guys this is my first post talking about my problematic i9001
A few months back (in november last year) I consumed the battery till it got to 0% and it shut itself off without turning on. Whenever I tried to plug the charger in , it would show a grey battery with a circle in the middle on and on without charging . Then I tried plugging the battery to a universal charger and miracle ! The phone turned on ! But whenever I charge it , the phone gets reaaaaally hot and charges really slow .
Last night I left the phone to charge overnight (plugged it in at 2%) and in the morning the phone had the same grey battery logo meaning the battery is completely empty
So I know the battery has issues BUT does my phone also have USB charger issues ? Because it charges really slow and the phone gets really hot.
Sorry if I did any mistakes and if I did not give enough details
Advicement
Phone is a ANS UL40 running 7.1.1
Battery will randomly go from partial charge to 0%.
This just started happening after having the phone about 6 months.
If I leave the phone unplugged overnight, it will be dead by morning (this is a new thing, it holds a charge pretty well). Doesn't have to be overnight either, could be just a half hour or something. The battery just dies randomly.
Even if I do have the phone plugged in and have the screen on (watching a youtube stream) it will randomly go to 0% and self shutdown.
Stock battery which seems to be stuck inside the phone. It doesn't seem to come out, I don't know if it's glued in or what.

Its actually removable -
I have the same issue with mine and I just received it as a replacement phone about 3 months ago. If anyone has a clue as to what to do please share. Been to all the blog pages and customer pages related to this model and it seems to be a recurring issue and so is overheating and a dozen other things. What the point in having Lifeline when all the phones that they give or sell don't work.
And I thought it was just me. Needing a lifeline phone seems to mean we get the worst of the worst devices. I had to pay extra for the UL40 because the "free" phone was useless. The UL40 is near useless, and this battery issue makes it unreliable.
i have the UL40 and requested a replacement phone (because of unsustainable malware issues that survived a factory reset) and the L50 they sent me had this issue. i couldn't find a solution and had to request another replacement.
oddly, i occasionally experienced an apparent battery discharge (phone powers off, needs to be connected to power to boot up again) but when it powered back on the battery was at ~65%, clearly plenty of power.
my completely uneducated guess is that the battery terminals in some of these phones are loose, either causing the battery to discharge completely or simply disconnect momentarily, resulting in the phone losing power.
