this isn't sudden death.
It's a faulty battery.
Take it out of the phone, is it swollen in the middle??

This is a known fault and Samsung have already said they would replace battery for free.
Give them a call and tell them.
I think the serial number on the bad batch of batteries starts with BD but it might not be limited to those.
Good luck

I think my battery is fake. I need a bit of Help from you guys

Okay, this is a new battery that I got after my original battery was swollen.
I think this battery is fake due to many reasons. Sometimes it automatically charge itself and battery percentage increases to 5-10%.
It lasts very less and etc etc.
When I type *#0228# on dialpad I get this:

Does NFC work with your new battery?
Fake batteries usually don't have an NFC antenna, therefore NFC may not work of it is fake.

I don't know. Maybe 1 year.
If the battery is fake, as mentioned there will be no NFC antenna. The only way to be certain is to peel back the label and look for the antenna. A fake will also not last as long between charges and will fail a lot sooner. As mentioned, you may get a year if lucky.

Hashy Battery Status

Having strange problem with battery status showing a hashy line (can't think of another way to describe it).
Any help would be appreciated.

2 Things:
What build number are you on?
Are you having any issues with battery life? (Random jumps in percentage, decreasing battery life, etc.)

Haven't noticed issues with battery life just this is behavior and last night it didn't charge.

That's really odd. Are the odd parts where you were expecting it to charge? If so, something might be wrong with the charger, or it might have had a bad connection. It looks like it kept jumping all over the place. Either that or something bugged out. Other than that, I have no idea.

Yeah i expected it to charge... Haven't had problems with the charger before.
Guess I'll just try a different charger and get it to 100% hopefully that will clear out the history and I'll go from there.

I found a replacement battery on eBay for under $20 but it ships from China

I replaced my battery, it's not hard but you need a heat gun to remove the screen. Then use double sided 3m tape to put it back on

Could you please tell if the battery is original and/or if it performs as well as a 4000 mAh battery should perform? And lastly please share the link yiu bought from. Thanks.
Works about as well as regular battery. Atleast phone doesn't shut down with 30% remaining.

btw toke me a while to find the manufactor( https://www.awinic.com/Public/Uploads/uploadfile2/files/20200515/20200515145039_5ebe3bbf4b71e.pdf) of this ic but i want to know if there is something better(compatible) like texas instruments?
I know this is a little off topic... But seeing a post for the OP8Pro with a 2022 date on it is refreshing! Been searching for days for information on how to flash a ROM/TWRP and/or ROOT and most posts are from 2020. I was beginning to think the device/projects were abandoned!
While on the subject, if anyone has recently and successfully accomplished any of the things I mentioned, would you please share? I have over a 100 tabs open right now from all the bricking I've had to come out of over the last 5 days!
Thanks!
