[Q] Weird Battery Issue!.. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all!
I got my GNote2 two days ago everything was fine until i've noticed that my battery level doesn't change for hours and hours. The battery level was 66 when i first look, and after hours in the and it was still 66 and the phone suddenly closed then i realised that battery drained. Does anybody have something like that before? And what is the problem's source? What is solution? What should i do to fix it? I'll add two pic to illuminate you about the exact situation.

Any idea comments?

Something must be defect. Regular unmodified Note 2? Then just send it for service/repair. Or even get it replaced.

Even I changed the stock rom to a custom one there is no difference and I've noticed that too when I pullout my battery and replace it shows the real battery rate but that is all.. Do you think is it battery or phone?

maybe because of your phone system board, better get a replacement phone.

I agree. More probable that it is a bad phone rather than a bad battery.

Guys before jumpong to the conclusion that the phone is bad why not see of some app is causing it
Simply install BetterBatteryStats and check the problem.
Also see if you have your phone rooted?
Have you applied any mod?
If problem still persists and is not solved then simple. Simply flash a newer firmware (ALJ3) from Odin and youre good to go

As i said before i have tried both stock and custom roms and there was no difference. Secondly i have just stock apps and casual normal apps i mean it couldn't be about an app. Actually there's no defect about phone's abilities just battery rate sticks what is was firstly when i replace battery. i wanna try with another battery to figure out is it about the battery or not but i don't have any chance for it.

Try to fully uncharge your phone, after when is dead put on charge. And wait until its full charged. Than reboot to recovery and make a full wipe (if u don't want to just do battery wipe) restart phone. Now check how it works aftery battery calibration.
If it will be same ****, change you phone true warranty. If you can't do that. You need to buy new original battery from samsung.com
Regards.

What would happen if i try my old SGS 1500mah battery on GNote2? I wanna see is it about just battery. Well it is kinda gift from abroad and it seems i have no warranty in my country or i'll have to pay it.

Screen/Network Bug

Hey Everyone,
I've had this weird bug on my Samsung Epic 4g Touch.
What happens is when im using my phone the screen will suddenly start to flicker and then id lose my service and then my phone would just shut down. After it shuts down if I try to reboot it, it will reboot and then it will shut down again almost immediately after using it. This bug isnt action specific and occurs at really strange times, I can get it to stop by waiting about 20 minutes or plugging it into a charger.H owever this ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IM RUNNING ON BATTERY it will not happen when im plugged into a charger. I know this isnt ROM specific because it has happened on multiple roms :/. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Info:
Samsung Epic 4g Touch
Current Rom: AOKP Milestone 6 no overclock
I'd replace the battery and/or check the phone without sd card.

Defective phone if it happens on multiple ROMs....take it back if the battery change doesn't work. You may have a refurbished phone that isn't up to par.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
But I know it isn't refurbished....I got it the day it came out..what I might just do is wait for another nice android to come out and then trade this one in.
If I'm going to return this one, do I have to restore stock firmware?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Do you use battery monitor widget or use a battery besides the stock battery? I had this problem. I use three batteries all with different mah and I would use battery monitor widget to calibrate them. Once I have all my profiles set up by entering each batteries supposedly mah I would have this same problem. I was finally able to fix it a few days ago (after a few months of torture) by using the estimated value on the calibration screen in battery monitor widget. For some reason the app would estimate my batteries at a higher level or lower level than the battery claims. Hope that helps in any way..

Bad Battery?

I've had my E4GT for maybe ten months and my battery is just horrible now. I have tried a variety of different ROMs and I'm currently running goodness and I used to get great battery life out of it (full day with heavy use) and then it just started going bad. Now I have to charge every seven hours or so. And my screen flickers (as if my batterys out of juice) and my phone powers off and when I reboot, it is usually significantly lower in percentage or below 5% and this happens on a variety of ROMs as well but it seems like its gone because I formatted SD (formatted a few hours ago so dont know for sure). I am most likely going to buy a new standard battery but I want to make sure that it's a bad battery. Thanks
If you take the battery out is it swollen? You can spin it pretty good if it is swollen. My battery went bad around ten months, just took it to a Sprint repair store and they gave me a new one.

Actually now that you mention it, it doesn't seem to fit properly into the compartment and it looks like the bottom left side is sticking out more (when you look at it from the side at eye level). Also, when I put the back cover on, it requires more to close and fit properly

I would just go to the Sprint store, your phone is under a year old so it is still covered under the Samsung warrenty.

Yeah I was searching around and I saw a few people having the same problems. Some suggested to format the SD card so I tried it and the reboot problem persisted. Most likely the battery

Yeah it's probably your battery, I am a heavy user, my battery didn't even last a year. I had screen flicker, reboots, fast charge and discharge cycles, weird things happen when the battery is going.

Even dumber question, how does one calibrate the battery? I just got a brand new E4GT and I'm lucky if I can make it seven hours. Is it just charging it fully then clearing battery stats in rec?

That's the thing. You shouldn't need to calibrate a lithium ion battery. Complete drains are actually bad for them.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Removing battery stats is not calibrating. To calibrate just charge the phone to full and after a couple cycles it will optimize itself.

Wow seven hours? Are you on stock? When I first got my E4GT and was running stock, non rooted, I could last the whole day . And just let it charge all the way but don't let your phone die. That's not good for the battery

I recently got a new battery and the difference is crazy. My phone started really freaking out before I replaced mine––screen glitching, reboots, not booting, etc.

Extended battery issues

Okay, I have been getting the sod on my gnex for a long time. Anytime I would launch an app after about 15 seconds into it my phone would freeze and go into sod. I flashed back to stock and sprint replaced my gnex so when I got it I kept it unrooted for a while to see if it was because I was rooted. Same thing happened while I was unrooted. I thought to myself let me use the stock battery to see if the problem might be the extended battery. Sure enough while on the stock battery the sod's stopped. Its been a day now. Has anyone else experienced this, heard of it or can it be possible? Thank you.

The one from sprint that they were giving away. That's the second one they sent me. The first one my phone wouldn't boot and as soon as I put the old one in it booted. Now the second one seems to causing sod's. Possible?

Sure. If the battery is unstable and cannot properly sustain its voltage. You say it's reproducible when opening apps. Generally this action will cause the kernel to temporarily increase the CPU frequency and voltage, if the battery cannot deliver, I imagine this can affect Android in multiple undesirable ways

Man that sounds logical. Kuz that's the way it happens. It seems like when CPU is increased, bam, sod. Wonder if adjusting voltage will help? Or have them send me another one ?

Good advice. Thanks. For the longest time it was driving me nuts. I thought it was kuz I was rooted and running beta Roms but my gut was pointing to the battery. Just didn't want to believe and think that it would caused the issue. As soon as I use the extended it happens every time.

[Q] Restoring nandroid

When restoring a nandroid, do you have to cycle your battery a few times for better battery life?
Or does it come back to where the battery life was?
Reason I'm asking is because I flashed a new kernel but want to go back to my old kernel without going thru 4 or 5 cycles for best battery life.
I'll never buy all that battery nonsense.
Is battery life an issue for you?

I bought two spare batteries with an external charger from Anker on Amazon for $20.
Totally worth it and even restarting the phone isn't as annoying as I thought it would be.

Well, it you dont wipe your battery log it shouldnt affect the system but I alway recalibrate my battery after flashing a new ROM. Search on PlayStore for the app : BatteryCalibration . It work great and I see the difference!

What's wrong with my phone?

So I have a zero lemon 9300mah battery and got the mean bean rom been almost a month that I charge my phone fully and in 2 hours it goes to 50% so I though it was the battery. I changed the battery to a new one still died fast than I thought it was my rom. So I changed that last night to liquid smooth and charged overnight. Woke up at 8.30 and now it's 11.00am I am at 33% from 100% what's going on please help me.

This may sound silly, but do you ever turn your screen off, lol.
Just kidding, but that's pretty bad.
Click the screen on and see what your time is. Is that with the Zero Lemon?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk
Either a CPU max run state...or a serious wake lock...or both..
Zero lemon getting drained like that is a serious problem...
I would suggest a "complete" wipe...and the flashing of a rooted stock rom as a test base...
If the device still exhibits the behavior...then a hardware issue may be at Work here...
If the device gets hot to the touch....then get the device to a stock and clean state...so some unmodified testing can take place...
Let us know...g

Even if you leave your screen on, never turn off zerolemon should still last you much longer than 4 hours of screen time. I have one, I get 3 days usage out of it
