Battery issue after charge

My battery goes from 100% to 66% right after pulling the cord when it finishes charging. How do I fix this?

Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.
At thus point use it as normal but let the battery die one or two more times before charging it again. This should give your phone a nice solid calibration.
Good luck!

Just to add on to that one idea would be pull the batt. Five minutes should do it...when u restart what it reads will be "true". Some Roms have battery saving scripts and when you switch they take a min to go away while dalvik resets...leading to a rude awakening...lol

Gonna give my input. I was having a similiar problem. Battery draining like crazy. Dropping from 99 to 80 in like 30 mins of use. Finally got fed up and decided to go to a sprint repair and service center. Turns out the battery was shot to hell. Bloated. So they gave me a OG epic battery for the mean time and ordered me a new oem one. Free of charge with TEP Picking it up tuesday. Been using this OG epic battery and altough it does have less capacity it defiantly is draining more slowely. So try it out have them inspect yours.

I agree with "rwilco12"

This worked for me...

I'll try these suggestions. Thanks!

Guys
I have been having the same problem and try lots of things but what I did not try and just found out is that my phone has a 1500mHa instead off a 1800mHa Sprint store made a mistake and placed the wrong battery inside my phone.
Maybe some of the problems you guys are having is due to that fact.
Besides opening the phone there are several app that will actually tell you which battery you have I.E. Battery Monitor

I just downloaded that battery monitor and it said I have a 1500MAH battery too so I called sprint went down and got a new battery and when I opened my phone to put the new one in it turns out the one I have is a 1800 so I would not put much stock into what that Battery Monitor app says but hell I just got a free spare battery so it was still a win!

That app is set to 1500 by default. However, I do remember seeing a thread here and on AC about several of our phones that were shipped with the 1500 battery by mistake

I have 1800 and the method with the airplane mode worked

Guys please help!

Okay, I am having a very frustrating problem that I did not originally have. My phone can last me half the day!! It is very frustrating to have my phone turn off on me everyday at 5 pm ..I love this phone but this is unbearable, especially considering that this is with very, very, very minimal use. If I actually use it the phone intensely, it will drain completely in 1.5 hours. ..It was not this bad a couple of months ago.
I have bullet kernel, and stock GB rom (2.3.5)
I had it always used it on "lag free" setting OC to 1.6 but I changed it to conservative mode to try and see if that would help and it didn't. I even used the core sleeper script from the developer's section and that didn't help either. I had changed radios a number of times when I was tinkering with custom ICS roms. I got my gf this phone a few weeks ago and put the same setup on the phone and she is getting the same battery life. I bought it used.
Does anyone have any suggestions!?? ...I would really appreciate it

You can extend battery life anumber of ways.. Tell me what Is on bt by wifi sync the screen ways ths most energy so turn that down as low a you can... Sounds like you are on an old ROM ...prolly eagles blood?
I suggest digital warfare 2.7 if you are on TMobile. Great battery life. Also flash your radio before your ROM and make sure you are flashing over a clean slate.

I am running on the Stock ROM with android 2.3.5
I am running off a nandroid backup I had restored after having an ICS rom on the phone for a few days. I used darkside superwipe, then flashed radio, then restored the ROM backup.
I always keep GPS, wifi and bluetooth off when I am not using them. I keep wifi on if I know I will be home for the day so I can use that instead of 4G ...I keep my brightness on the lowest setting.
Even with the sleeper core script, turning off 1 core, its still drains out at over 7% per hour without ever even touching the phone. Something is definitely wrong because I read people on the Sleeper Core thread saying they lost 3% in about 6 hours of standby with the script running.
the battery really should be in good condition because the phone is less than 8 months old and I frequently switch between a backup battery (cheap eBay battery), so that should preserve the original a little and even w/o the 2nd battery, the battery shouldn't need replacement this soon.

Have you tried using an app like Badass Battery Monitor to check what's app or process is eating up your battery?
Also, does your spare battery die quickly as well?

No, I haven't used a 3rd party battery monitor app, I just look at the system menu section that tells me what things are using battery and it is says my screen is using 50% ...my spare battery dies very very quickly. But it always has died this quick since the day I bought it because it is a crappy Chinese battery from eBay that I bought for $4 ...the first few times I used it, it would last about half as long as my original samsung battery

You should try to forget about the extra battery... and charge your phone while off then after ten or more mins of it being fully charged unplug then wait and plug back in to charger... It will likely charge again for a minute... Do that little cycle to get a full charge. After i do that i enter CWM and reset batty stats. There is more on this if you google it.

Galaxy S3 battery problem

Hi my galaxy S3 is having a problem with its charge. Sometimes when I charge it it gets really hot, but still goes to a hundred percent. But once I unplug it it changes to a lower number like 30%, then 100%, then stays at another value like 65%. anyone else have similar problems? or solution. Im using sonic R6 with trinity. Never had issues prior.
Edit: the battery is losing its charge really fast, meaning the percentage is dropping quickily

Get a new battery and try a different charger make sure you train your new battery for a couple of days

I've had the phone for a month already, only now the problem pops up.

Have you installed any new apps, changed any settings, flashed roms radios or kernels, recently?
Have you used anything other than the charger AND cable that came with the phone?
Pull the battery. Do you see any bulges, pits or blemishes? Rub your fingers across it to feel for this stuff too. (You will feel some inconsistencies, but shouldn't be any major ones).

[Q] Battery Issue

So here's my problem:
About few weeks ago, my battery started to fooling with me. When I use it for Facebook, Twitter and normal web surfing, the battery goes down, fast, from 100% to 10% took only about one hour plus. Then I left it aside. Check it again after 30 minutes, the battery went up to 27%. So I think battery was miscalibrated so I tried to calibrate the battery using all the guides I can find on the net for weeks but none worked.
So what should I do? Should I change a new battery?

Did u try calibrate it properly, eg.. wait till its charged fully then wipe them. using an app from playstore is the best way. If u wipe stats when its not charged100% then it will start jumping percentages.

Standard batteries are terrible anyway. I couldn't do without my 3600mah one now.
As wedgess said, get an app for calibration. I use 'battery calibration' (simple enough) which works perfectly for me

PROBLEM SOLVED... this works with all xperia play models and it fits with the back cover that comes with the phone...O and it comes with the instruction on how to change the battery build prop.

Which means I'll need to get a new battery? No other way to save it?

Well try to underclock it and make the screen brightness lowest. Try to look at the battery stats too as you may have an app which is using a lot of resources of your phone. If you can live without your phone then switch it off completely, try to find the charger with highest mAh output (the higher the mAh output is the quicker it is charging), connect your turned off phone to the charger, make sure it's charging, leave it for 2 days charging like this and then disconnect it, boot it straight to the recovery, wipe the battery stats from recovery. If this is not going to help then I seriously have no idea what else you can do.

Phone's not overclocked, brightness is always low, I used it for texting my gf for whole day, played word search for a while and my phone left 50%, no data no WiFi nothing, When I turned on WiFi and keep using it, battery drops fast. Reached 4% I left it, went back to 16%, continue using, left 4 % again, left it again went back to 10%, then I used it till 4% again, now left 6%. Using stock charger but with different cable since my stock cable is broken. Is that related? If yes I'm going to get a new charger.

Odp: [Q] Battery Issue
Any news?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

New issue..

Okay. Got a new problem. I have my phone plugged into charger. It says it's charging. Shows the lightning bolt thing on the battery too. But while I'm using the phone, even while it's plugged in, the battery % goes down, instead of up. But if I just leave it & not use it while it's charging, then the % will go up.. Just extremely slow. I have a new battery & a new charger. I even tried my old charger & it still does the same thing. So why would the battery go down, eventho it's plugged in? I don't understand. Please help

It may depend on what your doing with the phone. If your running a system heavy app like the browser, camera, Facebook or a game that has a lot graphics and the processor is cranking, the charge rate may not be sufficient to replenish the battery.
Especially if the battery is way down to 10% or less.
My wife does the same with angry birds. You have to let the battery catch a breath and charge up.

If you are using your phone a lot while it's charging, especially if the screen is brightest, battery sucking apps, cruising the net, a lot of texting, then chances are your battery is draining faster than its able to charge. Try this. Run your battery all the way down till it dies. Then let it charge completely full, then run a battery calibration(download this from app store before you let phone die). It will calibrate it when it's at 100%. That should help some. But if you use it a lot while charging, it very well may discharge faster than charge. But try the above, it should help. Good luck

I have never had this issue with the stock charger for this device, even when using high intensity apps. It will happen if you are using a 3rd party charger, even of it says it is a full 1 amp output, it cannot keep up while using the device. Make sure you are using the stock charging block. If you are, try replacing it with a new OEM charging block.

What brand of new battery and where did you purchase it?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2

It's a Samsung battery. Got it from sprint.
It was fine, until about the past few weeks. That's when it started doing it. & the battery will never be below 10% when I'm using it. It could be at 70% & will just start going down while plugged in. It can be at 100% and it will be plugged in. I do one thing on it & it goes down to like 70% suddenly. Then gradually go down more.
I will try calibrating it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Try taking the battery out and leaving it out for 10 minutes. If that doesn't help then I suggest taking the phone and battery to Sprint and have them check both the phone and battery. It could very well be a defective battery. Are you running a stock rom?
