Hello,
I've recently started having a strange issue with my Galaxy Note. The screen starts to ranomly flicker like crazy and then the device turns off. When I restart the phone it shows that I have 1% battery... which is not true because if left alone the phone starts to "magically" charge on its own over the course of the next 15-30 minutes. I've read that the flickering screen occurs when the battery is low and the screen tries to maintain its brightness, but this isn't my case as i've had this happen even at 80% battery charge.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've already tried restoring to factory settings to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
Yep, I experienced this last month. I had my galaxy note for just over one year when I started to have this problem.
Sent it back to Samsung and they fixed it free under the two year warranty (EU law). It seems to be an issue they are aware of. My battery now lasts a couple days and everything is back to normal. 4 day turn around for the repair straight to my door.
Give Samsung customer service a call A.S.A.P.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I will contact them immediately and hope to get things fixed as soon as possible.
I'm actually thinking of selling it in favor of an S2, as this is the second time my note breaks down. Everyone with S2 doesn't seem to have a single problem

The S2??? I would prefer the S3 or Note 2. Jelly bean will probably be the last update for the S2 and possibly the N7000!
Make sure when you call the service department that you explain the issue as you have here on the forum... Don't say that you think the battery is gone... As with my repair it wasn't the battery... They said they changed a chip set or something like that.... Plus even if it is the battery, they are more likely to just replace it for free if you plead ignorance!
P.S. The best way to say thanks is to use the "thanks" button next to my post!

Hm, this is what is now happening to me as well ... Not cool, will see, whether it lasts, or it was just temporary ..., as it looks to me it happens when I leave Wifi switched on.
Edit: The SGN started to do it all the time, it is fine only while charging, looks like battery is going to dye ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061307&highlight=flickering, so looking for replacement .

Dear bro..
My note n7000 have same issue.. Did you got it fixed? Help me please...
New battery. Why don't you read what is written before?

I have a very constant "phantom tap" on my Note. It is always in the same place on the screen - the very center, bottom area (I get to see a lot of S Memo). It was not a problem until today and does not happen very often when charging.
It makes the Note almost unusable and I bought mine off of eBay so don't think I have a lot of choices for returning.
I have seen reports of these phantom attacks on other devices but not on the Note. Don't know if it's hardware or software related.
Any thoughts?
Could it be a batteey issue as it works better when being c harged?

I have similar problem, I can not use the Swype because it is happening all the time as if lifting a finger or tapping en Another place and the words are wrong

This is an example of what happens. If you look at the pic you will see a group of dots in the upper right corner. I had the phone in landscape and the dots appear at the very bottom edge consistantly as if I was tapping the screen. This is a real annoying problem. Makes the n7000 almost useless.

Before I throw the towel in on this phone I am going to try a new battery on the hope (small) that this behavior has something to do with power delivery from the stock battery.
Does this graph look reasonable? It seems to me that the battery temp gets hot quickly and there seem to be a correlation between high temps and phantom screen inputs.
Thoughts?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Same issue for me on the standard (now old) XXKKA rom. Just at the bottom, left of centre - plays havoc with my wordfeud!
It was only occurring at night when I used my phone more which made me also think it might be temperature related, but now happening more frequently during the day.
Loathe to have to take it back for repair, warranty covered or not, so if anybody has any ideas about whether it might be software related I'd be grateful to hear them..
Thanks
Phil
Hey Phil
Yep, sounds like the same symptoms that I had. I thought temp was the issue for a while and then maybe battery because it did not happen when the phone was charging. Even after buying a new battery the problem continued however and ultimately the Note became unusable.
I was lucky and had a good seller via eBay who helped me return the Note to NewEgg as it was within 30 days of purchase. The bad news initially was that NewEgg was sold out and so I could not get a replacement unit. The good news is that going with the AT&T branded Note will be a better option for me at the end of the day so I am looking forward to getting that.
Good luck with the issue but I could never get any worthwhile information on the issue.

Hi. My galaxy tab Verizon is running cyanogenmod 9 Rc1. My battery has been jumping from 30 percent to 3 percent for the last week or so. Today I recalibrated it. It now goes from 17 to 3. It was fully charged when I did it. I did it again. Same result. Is my tab dying? Should I replace it or take it to Verizon?
i really need help

Well maybe it's a battery stats problem........
I had this problem but never got stressed.....but when the battery stats stuck on a certain % ,I panicked big time.
well I have posted a thread with solutions for this problem.....and that cured both battery stats stuck and the battery draining instantaneously.....worked for me.....never had this problem after that

I had same problem six months ago and I had tried everything. But every time, the problem came back again after a short period of time. Finally I had to buy a battery on eBay two months ago. After replaced the battery, the problem has never shown up again.

if you follow the instruction carefully you won't break it. It's actually very simple. after unscrew, just use an expired credit card to pry it open. Don't use any metals.
follow the fixit or directfix instruction. They are the best!

Indeed its a battery fault bt despite showing fake status there isnt any problem in charging or backup.
thats y i didnt bother to buy new one n will stretch this one by disconnecting method.
Start opening it from bottom corner after removing screws.

I use my tablet instead of my netbook for traveling right now. The tablet is so portable and have all the functions that I need for traveling. I couldn't stand the battery problem any more as it was so frustrating that I couldn't use it while I needed it the most. I didn't send it back for warranty repair because I already rooted and installed the Overcome. The battery is only $16 to $24. It took a little bit guts and dexterity to take out the cover. The back cover is actually quite sturdy and is not that easy to break. I even drilled out the screw heads because I don't have a special screw driver. But I am happy after replaced the battery. My tab is much dependable and reliable.
Hi all!
Today my phone just stopped at school for no reason. I checked the clock on it and after a few minutes I wanted to check it again, but this time I got no response from it. I thought it just freezed. So I pulled the battery out and put it back after a few mins. But no response. After I got home, I plugged it the wall charger, but nothing happened. No battery indicator, not even the little circle. Have you got any ideas what just happened to my phone?
is the model i9000 and not i9300?
Just wanted to make sure because I've had similar issues with i9300.
Nope. It's the first generation Samsung Glaxy S. The one with the AMOLED display not even the I9003, so the one with the S-LCD screen.

Ok.
I guess it's out of warranty then...
What ROM and Kernel did you have?
I had the latest Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly and the latest Devil kernel.
But I rented a USB JIG today and I hope it will fix it.

i wouldnt do that ... did you tried an other battery? its not my money but imo you should try more advices
I tried two different batteries, the jig, every button combo I found on the internet, but nothing worked. Now I took it to a little phone service and see what they say.
Seems that there's been some hardware problems with i9300. Dunno if something wrong with i9000 also.
If you love your i9000 that much, fix it. If not, buy i9300 §

Good News. They successfully repaired it and it was cheap. They said I used Galaxy Ace modem driver which is weird, because I used that modem driver since I bought the phone.

Any news about your SGS ? Let me know. I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG? Is there any way around ?
Hello all.
I have a very strange issue that started to happening like a month ago, the tab was on default ROM 2.3.x.
After not using the tab for some days like 3 or 4 days it does not swich on anymore, not even with power + down volume.
To solve the probem I have to OPEN the tab and disconnect the battery for 30 min. then the charge icon apear again...
It happened two times so I installed CM 9 stable(wich by the way is very good in my opinion) thinking that could be some kind of software issue.
after this I tought that the issue was solved. but yesterday it happened again
does this problem ever happened to anyone else? I am starting to become tired of opening the tab so I can use it.. its not easy to remove the cover.
what do you think? it's a hardware issue or other? next thing I will try is to leave it always connected to power just to check if it happen again.
I repeat that it's strage because only happen if I don't use the tab for some time (more than a day) even if fully charged.
regards
Thread moved as should be in Q&A when you ask questions. Please post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks
AvRS
any ideas? Still dead even after been connected to charger for 3 days

a month ago my battery was dropping suddenly to 30% or 20% i don't remember and nothing solved this until i flashed overcome Stock V5 {not the overcome rom} and discharge it and charge it again full then i flashed AOKP jelly bean back... now it is normal...
thanks, I will give overcome a try and let you know if it helped... not sure yet if i open the tab once more to disconnect battery or just wait until it completely discharges, but so far it doesn't seems to come near that point...
I have now leave my tab always connected to power cord, if I'm not using it and problems doesn't seem to come back.
So I presume the issue of not charging must be only after the tab shut down due to low battery...
Hey Guys,
I have been searching for hours now and cannot find anyone having the same or similar issues with the One as me
and I am really becoming desperate..
So, the problem is that I cannot charge the phone anymore, whenever I try to do so the battery symbol becomes grey with an exclamation mark.
I have no clue what the reasons for this are and why it occurs, also this is the second time now that this happens to me.
I have already sent it to the repair service 3 days after I bought the phone, this time it lasted around 3 weeks until it happened again.
So far I am loving the phone and its features, but this problem is driving me mad, any help would be appreciated!
Edit: it ran out of battery and now I can neither turn it on nor is it charging

Have you been using the provided charger? Sounds like they didn't change out the battery you got a bad one. I have never seen android do that unless the battery or something is really broken.

Yeah it's bad. Too weird. You are not alone a couple other people are having this issue just this morning. Like four or so ONES decided they would all just say goodbye at the same time. It's odd as I have not seen any other problems like this until this morning.
Guessing this is a DEV edition or you can't go to a carrier and have to go through HTC? If so make sure to tell them this device has already been in before for the same problem and at this point you want a new device not this defective one.
