Battery issue

[mustbepbs]

Hi all,

I'm having this strange issue with my Fascinate on Verizon. My phone boots as normal, runs as normal for the whole day, and then all of a sudden I'll go to wake it, and it'll be off. I'll power it back on and it flashes an empty battery screen. The screen doesn't stay on for long, and then it shuts off again. The battery is definitely charged. Any ideas? Is it a bad battery?

Also, if I remove the battery and hold the power button, and then put it back in, it turns back on as normal.

Are you doing any over/underclocking or messing with voltages? Or any kind of task killer type stuff... only thing I can think of off the top of my head

None. It happened on stock as well. There is a thread on it already and it seems nothing came of it other than faulty hardware. It doesn't happen frequently so I guess I can live with it.

What you're describing sounds exactly like a sleep if death (SOD). I believe that's what craw was getting at when asking you about OC/UV. Some apps have been associated with SOD, with 'youmail' being the most notorious. You may want to Google some of the apps you're using to see if they're known culprits, particularly if they're smaller market apps (i.e not popular).

It's totally random when it happens though. And I don't have any apps that are not popular. All of a sudden I'll turn my screen off and it'll happen. It happens maybe once per day. I \never need to plug it in, just pull the battery. No OC or Voltage changes or anything. Totally scratching my head here.

I got this picture from a thread on RootzWiki that is the same issue I am having. When the phone tries to turn on, this screen flashes (without the turning progress wheel) and just repeats until I pull the battery.

I'd try to run the phone with pretty much no apps on it and see if it happens.

Alternatively you can try to find what step is causing the sod (likely 100 or 200mhz step) and increase the voltage a notch. Or just try to run it with 200mhz as the minimum step. If you run 200 MHz and get a sod then bump voltage up a notch on that step.

That's what I'm trying now. Used to be on 100 MHz minimum. Bumped it to 200. Thanks for the advice
