    ok i installed this OS last night and everything went smooth all my apps and data transfered and the OS it self was running really fast however this morning i woke up and my screen was black and non responsive as if their were no battery in the phone so i did a battery pull in order to restart the phone and all it did was turn on a solid red light then its started to load and died again mid process....so i plugged it in thinking maybe the battery was dead ( even tho that would make no sense as it sat on the cradle all night so i figured its impossible.) but now its displaying a battery with a lightning volt thru it....so im assuming that my battery is dead and its charging is that whats happening ?? is my phone dead? do i need to wipe and reload the OS? Has anyone else experienced this???

    I got the same issue, although i was using the phone and it restarted. It then did the red light thing and kept resarting. It took about 5 restarts before it came to life.

    Battery died. I think it may be a battery issue. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a recall over the next month or so.

    Recall on the battery not the storm.

    No! I got the same thing. Phone was charging all night. Woke up this morning and the phone was dead. Battery has a volt going through it but didn't charge. Also the phone would have never died over night using .85.

    Definitely a issue with .90.

    Any way to rename the title of this thread so people find it more accuratly?

    Like ".90 Serious Charging / Battery Issue" Or something...

    I had the same thing happen to me last week and I am still running .75. I had to do several battery pulls before it came back. I try to always shut it down before doing a battery pull now and it hasn't done it again. Your battery is just fine.

    It could just be faulty battery, but is anyone with problems doing a full wipe before you install the new OS? When these are leaked I first install them to briefly check them out, but then I do a full wipe and reinstall and they seem to respond better.

    My process:

    Install, check it out.
    Backup data and 3rd party apps
    JLCmder to do the wipe
    Reinstall OS
    Reinstall apps
    Restore Data
    Battery Pull

    I chose to install a beta OS. What you just did is clutter this thread with a useless statement.

    In the meantime what I did was "Turn Off" the phone and charge untill 50%. I hope it will last me the day. So far so good.

    Even if this was a fluke, I think I may revert back. Depends on what other people have this problem. So far AFAIK only 3 including myself.

    I wouldn't worry about it. I have had this happen on every OS upgrade. After a few battery pulls and checking your apps to make sure they are not running due to a default setting, everything will go back to normal.

    I installed over 86 and have charged the battery via USB cable into PC with no problem. Was at 85%, left it to charge, it's back up to 100%.

    I will keep checking this thread and update it accordingly. Ill beta test this for the week, and assess the problem then.

    I installed the new os 9 yesterday and I only did one battery pull and that was because my screen wouldn't dim to sleep mode. So far I think this is the best os so far. Its faster and everything looks like it got.bigger
