Hi mates. My beloved gio is doing something wrong with battery.. In one moment it started to drain battery so fast. I am charging battery for 6hours, disconnected and if i was doing something on phone, battery discharges in 5mins. If i do nothing with it it loses 1% per 2hours. I tried another charger but its the same. When gio turns off and i connect it to charger it writes charged in few secs. Ive tried reinstalling rom, recalibrate battery but nothing works. So is my battery dead or have i some issue?
I have my gio for about 1 year now and I started to have the same problem, first when i went on youtube it drained the battery in like 5 mionutes, I was still able to listen to music and use whatsapp, which didnt drain the battery very rapidly, but after a few days even listening to music drained the battery in like 15 minutes.
So for all I can say its a battery problem, most lithium batteries have a life time of about 300-400 charges, after that, battery becomes instable.
EDIT: Also, it wasn't a rom problem, i was running CM7 and switched to CM9 but this also gave battery problems.

Hey XDA, I just purchased a new AT&T SGS3 and I'm having some issues with the battery on the phone.
When I charge the phone overnight it charges to 100% then when I unplug it, the battery drops tremendously in about 5 seconds down to anywhere from 50%-75%. I tried manually recalibrating the battery by charging it 8+ hours, removing the battery, charging again while off, charging it again while on, then restarting. That seemed to work for one charge and the battery acted the way that it would have on my Nexus S.
However charging it again after a full battery drain, the same thing happened.
Also when the phone is low on battery, it displays the normal battery messages, but then the screen stays on, draining the battery faster.
Solutions? I want the root the phone, but only after I have these issues sorted out. (I'm still under warranty right now)

Did you try a reset of the phone through the settings ? After that try charging to 100% then drain completely and then recharging without break then use the phone mormally and try to recharge only when it hits 10% remaining for the next 2 or 3 charge cycles and see if that helps

Looks like a bad device. I would send it in if i were you.
Hello,
I've read the threads about battery in the desire, BATT FIX with new kernels etc but can't really find a definite answer for my problem.
I bought my phone 18 months old and from the beginning it has shut down at about 20%. Tried the battery thing with charging, on/off, charing again etc, wiping battery stats etc but it doesn't seem to matter. So, I thought I'd just buy a new battery and be done with it.
The new battery arrived yesterday (actually, it's a used battery from customer returns but seller tells me it's been tested to be in mint condition). So this battery shows 3% when I first start up with it, "good, this seems to work" I think. But when at 75% the charger indicator (LED light) all of a sudden turns green and battery % jumps straight to 100%. I do the battery calibration trick with on/off charge and wipe battery stats. Stuck at 100% for some time as reported by others trying this "trick", have been using it all day and it shuts down at 25% even worse than the other battery...
The best voltages I've seen on this supposedly new battery is 4,144 and somewhere above 3.5 (nowhere near 3.2 and 4.2). What strikes me as odd is that I get very close to the same values with my old battery so I'm starting to think that maybee both battery are good but the phone reports way wrong values...is this possible?
Battery life with phone and data connection on, 1 gmail account but disabled backup feature (no GPS, BT etc) gives me -5% after 10 hours standby and I can use the phone for browising, light gaming for about 3 hours and 40 minutes before it dies (more or less constant usage at very low autobrightness levels and Turbo 3G enabled).
If someone has some insight into this it would be really helpful before I contact the eBay seller for this particular battery.
Regards, Olle
Same thing
My phone shuts down at 35% now... Is that a problem with the chipset or what? Only with Alex-V's calibrated kernels my phone shuts down at 0%, and sometimes it decalibrates too, but after calibration is Okay. I wonder if i need a new battery or my chipset has issues.
Guys I need your advise very badly regarding battery..I am using latest insertion ROM by siulmagic, whenever I am using my phone for surfing, using wi-fi, or watching videos, while charging, my battery percentage keeps decreasing, very slowly though, also if I put it on charge at 12 Am and when I see at morning at 8Am, it still indicating red led as it's charging, I thought my battery would be faulty, so I got new one, and charged it fully, it took 6 hours, when I turned on my mobile, it started with 99%, then decreased at 1% per minute, I don't even have sim in it, and network.is set to aeroplane mode, I replaced it again, and newer one is still the same..I have also flashed glite ROM, which is best in battery life, but with no help, to check the charger issue, I use stock g2 charger in my sensation, and it charged normally, please advise me..what's your opinion why my battery problems suddenly started? that it can't even charge whole night, previously when I don't have sensation, I used it for surfing, gaming, movies, and while charging, now when I turn on wi-fi or watch movies while charging, it decreases, and when leave it charging without using it..the percentage increases very very slowly especially between 90% to 100% it takes hours...
- try to reset battery stats... u can try battery calibration... only if u have root your phone...
- try to check which apps consume high battery...
Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.
My phone doesn't charges above 70+,if i remove the battery and reinsert it it shows 92% after that it charges normally till 100%,again the same thing is continued in next session of charging. ..I tried calibrating the battery by removing the battery and hold the power on button for 60+ seconds and also tried the battery calibrating app..no use at ol...one thing is, if a use the mobile continuously it charges very slowly after 70+,if its not used again it stops charging but indigates as charging,till 70% charging is smooth and fast...pls help me to troubleshoot this thing plzzzz... :crying:
sounds like you might need a new battery
Yes, you need a new one.
Most batteries from more than a year ago starting to have this problem after updating to 6.0.1
The update stress the battery too much and if your battery is more than a year old, will likely be damaged after that stress.
Yes, samsung batteries are less than cr*p.
