As my Note 10.1(2014) is nearly 3 years old, I was experiencing problems on decreased battery life. However, after purchasing and connecting a new battery(a 3rd party one, of course) a strange issue came out. Here's the scenario:
After pressing the power button:
1)"Samsung galaxy note 10.1" text appears
2) Samsung boot animation appears
3) Lock screen shows up: device appers to be turned on properly
BUT:
When I draw the correct pattern to unlock the device, it suddenly turns off(not only a black screen, but also an abnormal shutdown occurs that the device can't be turned on back without connecting to the charger)
*Nothing wrong with the touch panel, if I draw a wrong pattern(ie. if I don't trigger the screen unlock process) the sudden shutdown won't happen.
*Device works perfectly with the old(original) battery. I guess the new 3rd party battery is responsible for the issue, but haven't found a logical explanation on why this happens...
**As you will probably know, these tablet batteries come with a 6-pin connector which has a pair of red, a pair of black and a pair of blue(or sometimes green) wires.
I guess those blue cables are like the "BSI" pin on cell phone batteries, so the new 3rd party battery has something wrong with those cables or the pcb which those cables come from?
EDIT: Charging process is all OK using both the original and the 3rd party battery.
Problematic behavior is triggered by screen unlock.
I need your valuable experiences and ideas! Thanks a lot
