Charging issue

sharonbw · Jan 5, 2014

My phone has begun draining rapidly. When it is plugged in, while booted up but screen off, it gets very hot and doesn't charge. If I turn it off, it will charge. Could this be Rom or kernel related or is something wrong with my phone or battery?

Best way to tell would of course be to flash back to Stock firmware and see how it does.
That is what i would do. And i would flash the Android 4.1.2 Stock i777ucMD8.
U could also get Root after Stock and install the BetterBatteryStats app to help ya see what is using ur battery.

I tried to flash cooked but it wouldn't boot. I know it was a good download because I'd flashed it before. It also won't boot AOCP 7. In addition two nandroid backups failed to restore. Strangely, by flashing partitions separately I was able to get CM11 to restore even though it said system failed. I'm confused and frustrated right now. I'm going to flash RenderBroken's nightly tomorrow and see if I still have problems.

Btw, bbs hasn't been working for me either. It's been giving me weird numbers that don't make sense like 19 hours since boot when it's been around 2.

I wonder if it's just time for me to get an S4...

What ROM were you using before? this happened to me after coming back from Kit-Kat. Id recommend flashing a CM-10.2 nightly. It could just be the battery. Maybe even the charger port! Id flash a new ROM first though.

I am on CM11. I wiped my phone but ended up just reinstalling the nandroid I had made so am still on CM11. Interestingly, the problem is not happening today. I believe it may have been a rogue app or process. I'm hoping the phone/battery is still good because I'm broke! Lol
