Hey all,
So over the past couple of weeks, my VZW Galaxy Nexus has steadily been decreasing max battery percentage it will charge to. First it wouldn't charge past 89% even sitting over night, and now its down to about 76%. I want to figure out if this could be a software issue before I go buying a new battery.
Thanks for the help,
D1cey

I bought my Gnex from Handtec at the end of November. I have been very happy with it Until 2 weeks ago. Battery life has not been great but has lasted 16+ hours each day and I always charge overnight so this has not been a problem to me.
I take phone off charge at 7am. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice that instead of 50% at 7pm it was showing only 20 to 30% charge.
I bought BetterBatteryStats which showed no WaveLocks.
I started to freeze apps using Titanium Backup.
The battery life did not improve. I noticed the phone was getting noticeably hot to the side of the camera and charges were taking much longer. Instead of 3 hours it was taking longer than 7 hours.
Last weekend I noticed a drop of 70% in 3 hours on 2 occasions.
So I decided to wipe the phone and install AOKP build 15 with Franco kernel 10. I did not re-install aps. I charged he phone after install which took all night and then reset the battery stats.
The phone has continued to be hot and discharge very quickly. Charging is very slow. If the phone is off - charging appears to be even slower or not take place at all.
My Gnex is now fully discharging in less than 5 hours when idle in flight mode and is always very warm without any use.
I have been using a Samsung galaxy s2 wall charger.
Is this likely to be a faulty battery or phone hardware fault.
Any suggestions for next steps or is it a Samsung repair job.
Thanks

well, whichever it is, it sounds like a hardware problem that should be warrantied. i would flash it to stock and get it repaired by samsung, or see if the place you bought it will take it back
I get a similar problem but i return it back to vodafone 2 days ago and now waiting for the results, i returned it a week ago and they only give me a new battery to see if that will solved the problem but nope it persist, now they too it for either repair or replace ....

I am on the same build and recently used francos kernel. At night the phone would drop 20-30% of battery on airplane mode. Installed the apex build 5 kernel and all the battery nonsense stopped straight away. It seems to be a great kernel especially with AOKP B15.
Hope that helps.
Is there a preferred battery charging regimen for the One X battery?
That is, is it better to, say, always let it drop to 15% and then recharge to 100%, or can/should I charge whenever possible, or in smaller increments?
Also, are there disadvantages to using the phone while charging (as I tend to do quite a lot )?
Thanks!
i normally let mine down to about 10% then just charge it too 100%

Right, but do you know if this is actually the way to go with the Li-Po battery or are you, like me, just winging it?
When i first got my phone i let it run down till it asked for the charger, then left it on charge over night.
I did this for the first 3 or 4 times as i found this yields the longest battery life, since then i charge every 2 days regardless what percentage is left always over night though.
Going to leave it tonight & see if it will go till tomorrow night, its been off charge since 7am on Friday morning so far & is still on 46% a total of 39 hours so far.

You get two days on a charge? Are you a wizard? Although, having just got the phone (and possessing the patience of a 5 year old), I've done a lot of start-stop charging, which I suspect isn't optimal.
I'll try to refrain from trickle charging for a while, see how much difference it makes. Thanks.
Another battery charging thread? Just plug in the damn phone! It will take care of the rest.

I have noticed that the battery does drain in strange amounts.
I have my wifi & gps on constantly, my phone went for 2 days 5 hours & i received a text at which point the phone was at 34% battery.
The phone was put back in stand by & the phone went totally flat in the next 4 hours, this i find strange as over night in stand by it only uses 1 - 2%.
There is obviously a bug in the way the phone reports its battery state, by my reasoning this must be some 10 - 15% lower than what it is reporting.
It does seem to have some difficulties reading the battery level correctly. I've noted a couple of times that it shows a significantly higher charge level (+5-7%) after a reboot. Which is hardly likely to recharge the battery. (Unless I got me one of those perpetuum mobile, in which case, yay!)
So I've had a problem with battery drain lately that has only seemed to get worse. After leaving my phone on the charger overnight, I unplug it to immediately get battery drain of around 25% on average. The phone will get hot and keep quickly draining unless I turn it off for an extended amount of time. Today was the weirdest problem yet. I unplugged it from a full charge only to have the phone instantly go to 1% battery and die. I'm running paranoid android as my rom. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
How long have you had the phone?
About a year now, got the phone last October.
Hi Guys,
My issue is a little bit weird. My AT&T Note 4 has a battery problem relating to charging. This issue is consistent. One day I charge my phone it charges to 100% without any issue. The battery life is good for 2-3 years old battery 2-4 hours on screen time depending on usage. But the very next day when I try to charge my phone the battery percentage won't go beyond 85%-89% and I have to do a battery pull and it immediately shows 99%-100% and I can disconnect my charger.
I am not complaining about or worried about battery life I know it sucks but I want to know a solution so I don't have to battery pull every other day just to reach 100%.
Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.
Not a weird issue, your battery is going bad. Get a quality replacement.
So this is happening to me too.. I just got this phone over the holidays from ebay. Used/mint condition, no OLED burn or anything.. perfect condtion..except for the battery.. won't charge past 82% I've ordered a new one. But still looking to make sure since I've read a lot on the Internet about LL and MM causing battery drain problems...so..
So these battery stats indicative of an old battery?
I have had the razer phone since Christmas day, the battery life has been amazing up until these past couple of days. I charge the phone to 100% I then take it off charge and i check the game booster and it says 2h 36mins remaining even though I have no apps open and it is on power save mode? I never over charge the phone so i am not sure on what the cause to the problem is. if anyone has the answer or is experiencing the same issue please answer this please
I would also like some insight on this, as I am experiencing the exact issue.
Up until a few days ago, I've had incredible battery performance. I've had the phone about a year and have had 0 issues.
Now all of a sudden the phone wont last half a day. It's draining even while plugged into a "non-fast charger" Of course a fast charger will charge it, but it only lasts a few hours before going dead.
I've factory reset the phone and still the issue exists. Any help would be appreciated.
