Storm 9530 problem. Shutting Down on full battery

Hi, I have a storm 9530 which has worked alright for me for a little over a year now. Then one day my phone started shutting down on me in the middle of any kind of use. To be more specific if I am on the phone making a call, I can go no longer than 10-20 minutes before my phone shuts down on me on a full battery! It will be at 100% then when I start to do things like make a phone call, or do some texting for 10-20 minutes none stop, use an app of any sort for more than 10 minutes, basically any kind of extended  use and my phone will shut down on me. Then it will start to reboot and sometimes it will turn back on but then will have only 20% battery or other times it can't even start back up until a battery pull and being plugged into a charger. Now I have my phone almost always on a charger whenever I need to use it and it is getting really annoying having it shut down all the time. The phone does get hot at times when running these apps, music, phone call etc...What is going on here?? Has my phone gone bad? Do I just need a new battery? I am running the v5.0.0.328 (platform 4.2.0.128). Please HELP!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
All of the diagnoses you have mentioned are possible. But, further testing is needed to determine which is correct. I suggest you find a known-good battery -- preferably one from a friend with the exact model BB you have who is not presenting these symptoms. Trade batteries. If the behavior follows the battery, then the battery is the cause and you should obtain a new one. If the behavior remains with you, then your BB is the cause...but what part of the BB is yet to be determined.
To find out what part of the BB is the cause, there are several possible diagnostic processes you can go through. Specifically, you need to isolate if the problem is hardware or software (e.g., 3rd party app conflicts). The cleanest way to determine that is to completely replace your device OS with a new fresh copy and leave all add-ons off. Then start putting add-ons back, leaving adequate time for usage between each add-on install. Once the behavior returns, you then know your culprit.
Hope that helps!

  • Shuts Down On Full Battery?

    My MBP is less than a year and a half old (late 2008.) After the battery has fully charged, I take it off the power source. It shuts down without warning after 10 or 15 minutes. Battery is in "Good" condition: cycle count is 119. Can it be that my battery needs to be replaced?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    That's not behaving correctly, if under AppleCare Extended (3 year) Warranty then you can easily get a free replacement by giving Apple a call.
    If you only had the one year warranty you may still qualify for a free replacement see here for more details:

Any suggestions.....HELP

  • Why does phone keep shutting down with full battery?

    I've tried rebooting and clearing cache like a lot of people have suggested...
    Is there anything else I can try?

        Hi deesbees,
    I appreciate you taking the steps to reboot and clear cache on the device. If these steps have not resolved the trouble the next step is to complete a hard reset. These steps can be found on http://bit.ly/oV4Meh. Please keep us posted to the experience after the reset.

  • My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

    hello there,
    my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
    My battery details are
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 276
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 376
    Voltage (mV): 12249
    I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

    Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
    If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

  • IPhone 5 shuts down with the battery at 40%

    I'm having issues with my iPhone 5. It regularly shuts down with the battery being far from 0%. When I took it to the apple store, a "genius" said that the battery is fine and restored the phone to the factory settings. I set it up as new without touching the backup (with iOS 8), but the iPhone keeps shutting down with a half charged battery. If anythings, the problem only became worse with iOS 8.1. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it.
    The iPhone is out of the warranty and is not eligible for battery replacement. Another issue I have is that the home button often responds with a delay, but I don't know if it's related to the main problem.
    Thanks

    Here's the battery info from iBackupBot:
    CycleCount: 368

  • My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still have 50 minutes life.

    My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still has 52 minutes life without any warning. Does anyone have this problem? BTW, it is less than one year old.

    You must have a MacBookPro, right? MacPro's are big desktop models.
    Try the MacBookPro battery forum or their Usage forum.

  • Problems shutting down laptop

    Good morning!!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P75-A7200 and sometimes I have problems shutting down it. I have seen in some forums that it can be because I have open apps. After checking it out I see that all of them are closed and I cannot close the laptop yet... Do you have any idea why it can happen and how to solve it? 
    Thanks!!!!!

  • Problems shutting down after installing 10.5.3 update?

    Has anyone had any problems shutting down there IMac's after installing 10.5.3 update? I've tried shutting down twice and the image that appears when shutting down seems to go in an endless loop an doesn't shut down.

    Can you restart from the menu and hold the shift key down, until the Mac
    boots in a SafeBoot login screen; then choose Disk Utility (shortcut under
    GO in Finder window, to Utilities folder) and run 'repair disk permissions'
    then restart the computer normally...(?)
    You may also have to consider starting the computer from the OS X
    installer disc and choose from an option menu there (not to install)
    and choose to use Disk Utility from the booted installer disc, to run
    'repair disk' from there? You could also run 'repair disk permissions'
    while booted from that installer disc, but maybe you'd still have to
    repair those from the running system for best effect once it is back
    running from the hard drive's system.
    Some minor issues can happen after an update, usually just repairing
    disk permissions before installing the update, and/or running up in
    SafeBoot, can help. There are other things to try and do, if these don't
    help that much. The state of the system prior to an update is important;
    since an update can't fix anything otherwise non-related to an update.
    Maintenance issues aside, after you repair disk permissions, safeboot,
    and restart, if there still is an issue, you could try to download the Combo
    OSX 10.5.3 update file and install it over your system; and then repair
    disk permissions again after it finally restarts normally.
    Was the 10.5.3 update a smaller (delta) file or was it the Combo (large) file?
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Make sure you quit all your applications before shutting down.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down with high battery percentage?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I just received in September/October due to issues I was having with the screen.  It has recently begun to freeze, shut down and come back on, and ultimately shutting down around 36% battery life.  I can plug it into the charger and it will immediately turn back on, usually at the same percentage as when it shut off.  Only last night it shut down at 36/37% and when I plugged it in it came on at 25%.  I've done resets but nothing seems to be helping.  Any other suggestions?

    This is often due to fautly battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.
