Charging issue - anyone else? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Sometimes when charging it goes quickly, like and hour, no issues.
Other times, it will take almost twice as long and the last 1-2% takes forever. One day it was sitting on 99% charged for 1/2 hour. And nothing was running in the background.
Anyone else having these issues? btw - using Caulkins but I need to update to the latest.

Strange battery discharge between 2AM and 4AM (every night)

I wonder if someone else has the same weird issue.
Every night between 2AM and 4AM the battery of my Desire quickly discharges with approx. 25% according to JuicePlotter . During the night it's just sitting there on my night table doing nothing, phone part is switched off even (not the device). Weird, isn't it.
I am not using any apps that are scheduled to do anything at that time, like making backups or so. So I guess it must be the OS. But what could be causing this?
My Desire is running the stock ROM and is not rooted (yet).
Any ideas?

Battery Stats Not Updating

Ok I've searched this forum and couldn't find a similar thread.
I have had my HOX for about a week, its as it was out of the box I.e. not rooted and standard ROM.
This issue only started since yesterday.
The battery on standby never drops unless I use the Phone, which I tested more thoroughly today just to check what I was seeing was correct.
I left it on standby once fully charged at 100%, when I came back to it after 6hrs low and behold it was at 100%. I then used Temple Run for 5 minutes and it dropped to 89%. I left it for another 5hrs on standby at it stayed at 89%.
Does anyone know what might be happening? Or anyone else have the same problem.
It's not too much of an issue as I am returning the phone soon as it also has a dead pixel in the top left hand side of the screen.
Regards
Rob

Hmm..I wonder if others might have this and not realise it yet because we have all been playing with our new phones so much. I found that mine doesn't stay at 100%, but it moves slower than it should do while the screen is off. So after 6 hours it moved from 91% to 85% (1% per hour roughly) but as soon as I use it for 60 seconds, it jumped down to 81%. I think there may be an issue with power usage detection while in standby.
I doubt it would be really possible to get 100 hours of standby if I didn't wake the phone up at all as it is still doing things like checking email, facebook etc.

Battery died overnight at 70%

I searched all over trying to find a similar situation, but I couldn't, so I'm starting a new thread.
My HTC One X is a little over a month old and so far I haven't had any major battery issues.
I charged my phone to full yesterday (during the day) and when I went to sleep it was in the 90% range.
As you can see in the attachment, around 6 am the phone completely shut off. It went from 70 to 0% battery in a matter of seconds. I plugged it back in this morning and it's been charging fine.
It doesn't seem to be a temperature issue either. I'm really at a loss for what could have caused this issue. Any advice?
I've had my one x since the US release date and mine has done this to me about 10 times now. My phone is always charged before I go to bed and I always kill all running programs on the task manager before bed. It's a real pain when you wake up in the morning and check the time, find your phone is dead, and see that you have overslept your alarm. 1st world problem I know but this is a huge pain when it happens. I'm pretty tired of it.tempted to see if I can trade up for an SIII. Btw, mine did this for the 1st time the 2nd night I had the phone. My old BB could go to sleep on low battery and it wouldn't die overnight.
Maybe the phone is looking for updates? Maybe lte is the issue?
I am having the same issue for two nights in a row now. Last night, the phone had 50% battery, and I turned off almost everything, wifi, data, most of applications. The phone still died this morning. I called HTC support today, and they said if you leave the phone in sleep mode with 50%, it won't last until the next day. I had my phone a little over a month. I am going to fully charge tonight, and see if it dies over night again.
Hello all! I am having the same problem too. I can have the phone in my pocket at school from 9am-9pm during a normal day and with some light usage, have the battery last the whole time. However if I use the phone in bed while falling asleep, get tired and lock the phone with like 70% battery, it will be dead in the morning. If I look at the battery usage graph, it too shows an instant 70%-0% battery change. Is it a battery conditioning problem? Meaning that the phone is not able to properly gauge the battery's current level of charge and thinks it still has 70% left but then just dies?
Couldn't see pics on my HOX. My ides wouldn't mean much. I sorry guys.

I think this is a more serious problem. I charge my phone over night.
Slept in this morning because because my battery died overnight.
It was on charge. How does the battery die.
Pressing power did nothing
Held for ten secs to force reboot
it booted up and showed 0% and started charging normally
Wtf

Sorry about reviving this thread but this happened to me 3 times now.. I have an S4 HTC One X but have the same problem. Had the issue on both a custom from and on stock. Is there a known fix for this?
this happened to me too. about five times. i charge my phone to full just before i sleep and unplug it when i decide to sleep only to wake up with the phone dead(and I am late for work). I always make sure I close apps every night before I sleep. But ever since I updated my phone to 2.17, I have had nothing but buttery smoothness and 16-22hrs of battery life.
This is my second One X. It happens to me about once a week. Everything is great and suddenly battery charge is dropping like crazy. There's nothing running in the background that would trigger this behavior. My first phone worked great but one day just died and would never power on again.

Abrupt battery drops?

I usually charge my Zenfone 2 (4gb, 64 version) before I get below 25%, but yesterday I let in run down below 10 (I was seeing how much SOT I could get). My battery meter dropped from 10% to 8, to 4, then to zero in about 20 seconds. It happened so fast that the phone shut down before I could plug it in, even though the charger was sitting right next to me.
Anyone else experience this? Any idea what happened?

Thats very werid. I always charge at 2 to 3%. Doesn't happen to me before?
Try to wipe cache?
What is your Rom version?
Same here. Had great battery life all day. Went to the gym and got home around 930. Phone was at 38%. Then suddenly 17% and 4%. Then dead all within 5 seconds or so. I reset my battery save app cache. We'll see if its a bug. I have heard about this to late I guess. Frustrating

Battery life became erratic

So I've had my phone for about 2 weeks now. It has been working flawlessly to this point. Battery life had been outstanding. This morning, however, I unplugged my fully charged phone and began playing with it for 20 minutes. It immediately went from 100% charge to 5%. I plugged it back in and it went to 100% when I checked back on it 30 min later. I thought that was weird but whatever. I then unplugged the phone and it immediately went to 77% inside of 10 minutes.
Needless to say I'm a little distressed. I've tried restarting my phone and turning it off for a while but it seems like he issue is still persisting. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
