Anybody having trouble charging their phone to 100? My phone says it charges to 100 then beeps then when I unplug it, it immediately goes to 97. I have heard samsung phones have something that prevent them from charging to 100 or something like that is it true?

I am having the exact same problem and can't figure it out. I try to recalibrate the phone before as soon as I unplug it, but it drops down below 100% as soon as I unplug it from the wall charger that came with the phone
This JUST started happening to me this morning.
My phone has been doing this for awhile just keep an eye on how long the battery lasts if its still the same then no worries otherwise contact service provider

My phone was off the charger 1.5 hours, down to 60%. I reboot the phone, automatically went down to 35%.... No idea what's going on.

I get to 100% from both USB and the wall chargher (although I don't use the Samsung charger, I use one from a Bluetooth).
After unplugging, I stay at 100% for a few minutes, then it drops to 99%... Which makes sense, because the instant you unplug it, its obviously not charged 100% anymore.

Well are any of you rooted? You should state the condition of your phone when you have questions like that. It will surely help speed up or help with the answers.
Mine always drops straight to 99 the second i unplug it. Im not rooted. My battery life has been pretty good so i didnt think anything of it really.

And the reason I've had the phone for a week now and it just started happening this morning?
(not rooted)
Phone not charging to 100% is actually a good thing.
There's a website I read I think from this forums in another thread or somewhere else but basically explained how lithium batteries work. In it, it explained how manufacturers are encouraged to program their devices/chargers not to charge 100% to prevent over-charges. Doing this actually extends the battery life and efficiency. Its also bad to discharge batteries down to 'critical' levels. It defined critical as being anything under 20% and is recommended to recharge phone using outlet than USB at those levels. Anything above 20% is ok to use either USB or outlet and prefer with phone off.
I can say I saw the same thing happened to my phone where it was charged to 100% but once turned on its actually a little under that. I thought this was related to the "Android OS" battery bug but it isn't.
I charged mine to 100% then booted into cwm and wiped battery stats rebooted and it said 95% heres to hoping I get that extra 5%

When I had the motorola photon it did the same as well as the nexus I had. I think they do this so the phone doesn't over charge. But also if it's just started then you may have the battery drain issue I saw on here. I don't have it so I have no idea where it would come from....

You flashed different kernels when rooting, different battery stats shown in each. you should start to worry when your battery shows you at 100 for a while

What part of he's not rooted did you not understand? He's asking if Samsung phones are supposed to reach 99% immediately upon unplugging as stated earlier in the thread, then why his only started to do so recently. Nothing about flashing ROMs..
I've bumped because I noticed this phenomenon only recently on mine and think I recall it sustaining a 100% charge in the past. So it may only start happening as the battery ages: for some, like oosoul, after a week, and for others, like myself, after over a month.
If anyone doesn't drop to 99 straight after unplugging, can you post how long it stays at 100? Thanks

It's not a feature.
It has to do with battery calibration. You should be able to fix this by draining your battery, then going into clockwork and deleting the battery stats, then re-charging it up all the way.
Mine was originally charging up to 100%, but then after I flashed a rom it charges up to 99%. I haven't bothered to fix it because it doesn't really matter, but the same thing happened with my Evo and that's how I fixed it.
Just wondering if anyone out there with this phone actually does not have the AOS (Android Operating System) "Bug" ?
Thanks for anyones input.
I don't. Never had. Battery life is awesome. I get around 5-7 hours screen on time and usually around 24 hours total.

The wonky touch screen is due to the "cube" charger that came with the phone. I bought a cheap Samsung wall charger and it charges just fine now.
My Android OS usage is remarkably low, actually. Lower than any Android I've owned before. I can last a bit over 24 hours on battery with mild use.
I do. I use to worry about it, now I don't really care because I can still get 15 hours on my battery.
I didn't have it for the first few days but I do now. The thing is with moderate use I still pull over 18+ hours on my phone even with AOS being the top on usage. While I dislike this the battery life I'm getting I really can not complain to much. First phone I can leave in the morning without having to worry about bringing my charger with me while I'm in classes cause my phone will be close to dying by the time I leave.

AOS is usually the 2nd highest thing (below the display) on my usage list, but I'm able to last 24 hours on a charge, so I don't consider it a problem.
Remember the usage stats are out of 100%, so even if the AOS uses little to no power, if it is the only thing drawing power it's going to be high on the list.
I don't. 2-10% at all times

Are most of you guys stock?
If not did rooting and rom change anything regarding AOS?
I exchanged today...seems it has the same extremely high AOS as the last.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
My AOS % is usually/often #1 or #2 on the list in the 30% plus range -- even when I use other apps heavily that would generally be near the top. Even with that, though, I can easily use the phone for two days if I use it lightly. I barely used the phone yesterday as I just made a couple of calls and sent a handful of texts/emails. After 18 hours, I was still around 60% battery remaining. I could have simply used the phone again today without charging and it certainly would have made it through the day.
I don't think AOS is being reported accurately, but that's my .02. If it really WAS using that much power, my phone would have been toast in just a few hours.

Pretty sure most people with room arnt experiencing it after reading everythread since launch on sprint. Definately almost every isn't on stock. If your fine stock you should be fine rooted
Never had a problem with it, my battery life is outstanding. 24h on average standby maybe 9-14h moderate use and 7-9h of heavy use.
Okay so I presume all of you one X power users have noticed a the horrible battery performance. I only got my one x yesterday and I'm already frustrated with the fact that i yet again have to carry my charger around with me. Is there a fix? I have root and custom recovery. So if there is a fix for this please someone let me know.m
Since I flashed the Revolution HD I got excellent battery performance. Without doing too much stuff (just calling and texting), battery remains > 50% at the end of the day. I would really recommend that rom.
I've just flashed it, going to see how it goes. But I would've expected HTC to bang a beast of a battery for the beast of a processor and massive screen its gotta run. Oh well, still early days, hopefully we'll see massive software improvements.

Not really, no. Personally I did not unlock device, neither root it, neither installed any fix. And I must say that I'm more happy with battery life than I was with my previous phone SGS2. More then 16 hours here with 4 accounts synchronization on, 3g/wifi on, and sometimes gps + music on (for Endomondo). I'm really happy with my One X.
ARHD Rom, auto-brightness, plain wallpaper, no haptic feedback, no roaming, managing syncing, and a few other tweaks will leave this devices battery life as one of the best.

Yep. Relax. I got 6 hours from first charge, 10 hours from second charge, 12 hours from third charge...
After over two weeks I'm now getting between 18 and 24 hours. Give it a couple of weeks before judging battery life.

I try to use as much as I can the first few days, and time it so that you have about 10-30% charge left when you reach home from work/school and then I let it charge overnight.
I know quite a lot of time was spent idle, but 60% after 7 and a half hours isn't too bad http://twitter.com/Dev_Meltus/status/194082996767309825/photo/1/large
I've not really had a problem with battery life so far.

Have been seriously contemplating getting the One X.
My first choice had been the Galaxy S3..... but the One X seems the better choice.... I have had the iPhone 4 for almost 2 years, so now it's almost upgrade time If the Galaxy S3 had no physical home button I would be taking it.
Had been worried about the battery life of the one x but after reading these and a few others it seems worth it and it's available in black (dark grey but darker than S3 metallic blue)
I Just hope I don't have issues with app incompatibility for the apps I use on iPhone.
With normal usgae, I've got more than 10 hours after one charge. Not so happy with it but it's good enough for me.

I've turned everything off and left my phone on idle, my battery issue has persisted for over 6 months now (I bought it in Singapore on release day). With screen on min brightness, static wallpaper, most apps off, my battery drains fully within 6 hours. If I actually do anything with it like make phonecalls, it drains in hours. The battery phone is constantly hot, when on charge It's almost too hot to hold. If while on charge (AC) I use it to make a call, it complains that it's not receiving enough power. Should I look to get a replacement from HTC? I'm still using stock rom so it should be covered under warranty?
Sounds like the htc amaze battery overheat..
Also get gsam battery app.. it will tell you what apps are using what % of battery.
I also use advanced task manager from play store.. it proved to me how much gmaps Facebook and other bloat was ALWAYS RUNNING!.. I got root and froze it all with big improvements
Some of us who htc amaze w no warranty bought a new battery and that fixed it

Aside from your time travel/exaggeration, I suggest better battery stats, finding out what is causing wake lock, and killing.it.
Your phone is fine, but you have some crapware on it.
So, is this normal to wait 2h30min and maybe more (!) to fully charge the phone ?

How the hell are you draining in 8hrs - constant use?
Normal days without gaming gets me 17+ hrs
Even streaming all day via data connection gets me more than 8 hours.
I noticed when I got mine, I thought it had low battery as I was always using it, due to the 'ive got a New phone, can't leave it alone bug'
Normal usage, few calls, bit of browsing, bit of gameplay etc should get you through your working day quite easily.

i can easily get through a day without wondering where i can plug in my baby.
i get over a days use with my battery since the last software update... but charging time does seem fast.
is there such a thing as overcharging in terms of degrading battery life?
Please use one of the existing threads on battery life and charging time.
We already have plenty of them and would like to keep everything compact.

Just like the topic says I just want to know how long should I initially charge the battery and how would I go about doing that if I don't have just a battery charger?

Yes That's correct steps. Anytime bellow 10 % is good time to charge. Do try to wait till its 100 % before unplugging though. Lithum Ion has only so many Cycles.

What I meant was I just let it drop by 1-2%, not to that point. Imo on first charge there's just not a need to do a full discharge like some say. But when I plug it in I leave it alone till ready. Then first cycle I drop to 5-10% and charge fully once more. After that it doesn't really matter. (That first full cycle is just habit for me. I don't believe it's necessary though.)
Li ion batteries are much more forgiving than people think. Lots of incorrect rumors and info out there. That's why I suggested that link earlier.

Do note, if you drain 100 % or nearly there then after you plug in, the phone won't turn on for first 20 minutes or so. It will start afterwards.

I personally don't even care. I just charge it whenever I want regardless of what percent, and leave it charging overnight and get 100% when I wake up. The best thing about this phone is that it has a removable battery. If my battery ever dies, I'll just buy another one.
