Not very much information but it sounds like you have a bad battery. I'd just buy a new one considering they're pretty affordable. But before doing so get a hold of someone else's charger and see if you have the same issue.

Have you downloaded any new apps? Some apps are battery hogs

ok so my g/f has the same phone and i put a dead or dying battery in her phone and it was at 96% i have no idea whats going on this just started about a day or two a go. and i have not put any new apps on it.

Is it stock? If so back up your sd card to your pc and data wipe the phone. If it still does it you have a defective device.

Switching batteries

I switch from the stock battery to my 3800 every so often. Do I need to calibrate the battery gauge is any way or just not worry about it? What do all of y'all do?

Read a while back from a Google software engineer that it was pointless. I never really got any benefit from doing it either. Maybe placebo effect.

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.

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..

Extended battery issues

OK. I received my extended battery and ever since I have been using it I get weird issues with the phone. First I was getting data lose then reboots and today a dead phone. It charged all night and when I unplugged it powered down after a few minutes. Shows battery is full but will not let me power the phone on. When it did power on it would power off immediately. Sooooo, I am thinking to my self man it could be the battery. I pulled out my old original battery and put it in and sure as hell it powered on with no issues. I have not had any of those issues described since I been back on the original battery. I call sprint and let them no and they said its possible because of the NFC chip inside. Has anyone else experience this?

Yep. They are sending another one. Every time I put that one in, same results. When I put the original one in, works perfect. Did it like 10 time just to make sure. I found that interesting myself

Phone won't sleep

My phone won't sleep for more than 3 seconds. Its driving me insane!!! I press the power button, 1-3 second later it'll just wake up alone. Its SO frustrating. I've bought different batteries, changed ROMs. Everything. It just won't sleep! I wanna throw this thing out the window!! >=[ i cant take it anymore :banghead:
Anyone have these issues??
Also to note. My phones one of those infamous "always charging" issues and it won't charge via usb

Idk I bought t from someone on craigslist. How do I find out?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Fast charge does exactly that.. charges fast lol.. its an option in most custom ROMs now.. eg. When ur gnex is connected to a PC in file transfer mode it doesn't charge very fast. But set it to fast charge and it turns off the connection to PC and charges almost as quick as a wall charger..
As for the warranty.. Samsung should be able to tell you or the original bill of sale that the guy from Craig's list should have given you
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just call Samsung. Keep in mind if it is an international one you have no warranty.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Theres an option somewhere saying stay awake when charging
I believe you have a fault charging port, and best solution would be to send a warrant claim .
You could try to clean the charging port with a q-tip, and check if any of the pins are out of place.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Thanks guys! So if I call they'll know I'm not original owner right? And yes its unlocked gem international version
This phone has so many problems I literally can't take it anymore >=[
Makes me hate Samsung!

Overnight charging:is this good or bad

Hi, I have read here that some are doing this. What would be the effect of this on the battery life, as it usually takes only about 3 hours to charge to full. Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
There's no effect, it's fine. The phone knows when to stop charging.
agreed - I've been doing this with my phone every night since the G1 days with no problems
:good:
No overheating or whatever? Okay thanks. Nice to know that.

the charging micro will turn off supply to the battery when it is 'charged' so nothing to worry about at all
Yeah when the phone gets to 100% it will disconnect until 98% then start charging again.

Unlike me, the phone knows when it's had enough!

I think this is a base android feature, even my TF101 tablet does this when it's on the dock. It'll discharge until about 96% then start re-charging.
