Battery going up and down + reboot - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My wife's gti9505's has an issue with the battery that I cannot seem to fix. One second it's at 75% then all of a sudden it's a 5%, then it goes to 50% and some times it reboots. I don't know if this might be related but she mostly feels this happens when she uses the uber app. She has the latest official android version (5.1..), I've tried installing a new rom with 6.0 but the problem persisted. I've bought her a new battery but the problem persisted. At this point I'm thinking that this MUST be a hardware problem. Any other solutions I may try?

The reboot problem might be a power button issue.

Camera issues

Hey,
I am currently running the 1.48 rom and the problem is sometimes when i wanna turn my HD2's camera on it says came couldn't be initialized (have to reboot to use it) the other problem is that some times the camera will not turn on the light the button gets grayed out for some reason. i HAVE NOT applied the came fix since it messed up the led light completely and not even 10 resets fixed it... when i last installed it.
Anyone has the same issue?
hi,
usealy the camera refuses to turn on the (flash)light when your battery is lower then xx%, i dont know the exact value but if you do a search here in the board you will find it.
for the crashes i cant help you out, but having a look into the various camera threads here may also be helpful.
regards mad
There are a few threads about the camera intitalisation already, and I believe I was the first to submit one. Anyway, I have recently found out the Opera 10 Beta strangely enough caused the issue. I havent experienced the problem since uninstalling it so....give it a try (assuming you installed Opera 10).

home/menu/back/search buttons dont work at all

My dad's G2 after the gingerbread upgrade started to act dumb, now the home/menu/back/search buttons dont work at all, I did factory reset, cache cleaning, erased sd card and nothing! I have been looking on google for solutions and nothing, but I have found some people having the same issue after update
same here
mine stoped responding
all four capacitive front buttons are dead
I'm having the same issue, except my phone was already rooted and running CM 7.0 without any issues to report. I have barely been using my G2 lately because I have an iPhone 4S as well for work, and it gets much more attention these days. I just noticed today that none of the aforementioned buttons work at all any more, even after reboots. Tried reinstalling, upgrading to CM 7.1, even tried MIUI's latest to see if it was some software glitch, still nothing. It just seems so weird given nothing else is wrong with the touch screen at all.
I've done some searching as well and haven't been able to find any solutions for this issue. Anyone have any updates? Is this simply a hardware issue?
mine was doing that with the tiamat kernel
hey for those that have this problem and are using cm7 try using zdunes patcher to get the tablet buttons

Phone keeps shutting down

I have LG Nexus 4 16GB version. And it is shutting down every now and then by itself, specially while using any Google application. (eg: Google Camera, Chrome, )
It just shuts down. And I have to use power button to start it again. (No shut down animation, it just go dead)
The problem starts when I stopped the Google Now. Yes I am sure. Last night I stooped it from settings. And since then phone is shutting down by itself.
So should I again start it. But I don't want it.
Any help...??????
I just saw that Google Camera is doing this. Even on the Play Store the camera is specially updated for for Nexus 4. And last updating it this problem started. Now I can't use camera. Even when I downloaded other camera app from market the phone is still shutting down.
Any help??????
flash new OS image, for example lollipop 5.1.1
Am on the latest version LMY48I and not having any of those issues. You might have a conflict in cache, or your battery could be failing, or may have an errant app or process causing issues. You would probably be well served to run a Logcat of the issue, and see what it is exactly that is causing the issue. That will help you narrow down the root cause, and determine if it is hardware or software.

Everything is running in slow motion on my S4

I've had this issue for months now and I've started countless threads in countless forums attempting to solve it:
my S4 (GT-I9505 jflte) is basically running in "slow motion". What I mean by that is that no matter what I do, about 50% of the time all animations will play back at about half the speed they normally would and any kind of input will be registered with a delay of about half a second. Animations still look smooth at about 60fps and the phone doesn't crash, it's just... slow. Really slow.
I used to think this had to be an issue with Cyanogenmod (was running the Optimized CM12.1 rom from AntaresOne & Alucard), but after trying several different builds and clean flashing countless times, nothing changed. Now I just flashed an entirely different ROM (Resurrection Remix) and although it ran buttery-smooth for the first hour or so, after restoring all my apps it has now started doing the same thing.
The fact that the problem persists even with a completely different ROM leads me to believe it must be something to do with the apps I have installed. But how do I troubleshoot this? I have way too much stuff on my phone to go through deinstalling every single app and making sure it wasn't causing the problem.
I have no idea how to approach this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
I'm not sure if this has been happening before with CM12 or if it just started happening now with Resurrection Remix, but I just noticed that it seems to happen mostly when the device is charging. When I unplug it, 9 times out of 10 the slowness will instantly go away... is that an indication of anything?
EDIT 2
I think I just solved the issue. After discovering that the problem appeared to be caused by the charging, I tried a different charger. My original Samsung charger started having horrible coil whine a few months ago, so I threw it out and started using a generic one I had laying around. Come to think of it now, that must have been when the problem started.
I just found another charger for a Samsung phone and plugged my phone in: everything fine. Switched back to the generic charger: everything slow. So it must have been the charger. Just out of curiosity, is this a known issue? Could some kind of electrical noise from the charger be interfering with the touch screen? Seems almost bizarre that a simple charger would cause a phone to run slow...

Expert please help me. My K20 is continuously rebooting

1. Background
It's been 4 months since I bought Xiaomi K20 8G and 256G(Not Pro). I bought it from China, and from the beginning, the cell phone was unlocked. (I didn't know what it was. Maybe the seller changed the Chinese version to Global Rom and sold it. I didn't even know what that meant at the time. I think seller stated the same.)
2. Problem
There was a bit of heat from the beginning. And I got many messages that due to heat warning, the Wifi, camera, and 3G/4G would be limited. In relation to that, I found out that there had been a lot of such problems while searching solution in Internet, and I saw many articles, software upgrades had solved such overheating. And someone recommend such thing can be solved by installing ROM again in the setup(there is menu downloading latest ROM). So I tried this (MIUI 11.0.4 global) and further deleted many apps and re-installed apps, used battery saver mode and etc.. Though there was heat, phone didn't give a overheating message, and wifi also worked well.
For the time being around 1 month, I used it well.
Just 4~5 days ago, again overheating message came. Then new ROM (11.0.5) came and phone got hang / shut down / reboot / Overheaing warning / wifi disconnected.(WIFI is on, but suddenly not working. Then I off WIFI, tried to on WIFI but it didn't ON. Toggle button move but come back off position again, Once I reboot, it work for some time only.)
3. Attempts to resolve
Although phone has heat, I decided to install TWRP & the other operating system (ROM) because I thought such problem coming from the operating system / software / apps rather than a hardware problem.
I've been working hard on installation of Pixel Experience following the guide of the experts, but the above problems persist, I've changed Global Rom to EU Rom, I've tried downgrading from the recently updated MUIU.
However reboots occur more and more frequently.
Even though I don't do anything, my K20/9T phone is rebooting, hanging, stopping, and shutting down. And even no tasks are there, heat is on the phone.
4. Request.
Experts, please help & guide me.
I'm under huge stress from K20/9T.
I am trying to drain out battery.... at this moment.
LOL just fu cking trash your phone and buy the pro one
You should try xiaomi.eu ROMs.
