Hi,
Ive been having problems while charging my phone. Usually i charge my phone from 11 pm to 7 am and sometimes when i wake up in the morning the battery light is green and it reads as 100% battery charge but the moment i disconnect the wire it instantly drops to 30-50%. Is anyone else having these issues?
Are you stock?
I have not had this problem and charge pretty much same as you. I am stock rooted with a few apps disabled and only had the phone since October.
Try this app
Also I'm pretty sure you shouldn't let it charge for so long, it will hinder you battery life in the long run. At least that's what I have read.

Option 1 : Clear battery stats
Option 2 : Get a new battery and 24 hour charge
Option 3 : Let the battery DIE, drop it in the freezer for a few hours, then 12 - 24 hour charge it again. Doing this though MAY (not always does) cause the water indicator to trip. Easiest solution I found for that was I vacuum sealed my battery THEN dropped it in the freezer. No air, no moisture, no trip.

I would also recommend trying this app. I tried it out a few days ago and it does seem to help out quite a bit.
I find mine drops instantly to 99%. Even sometimes when I'm at 74% and if I don't use it at all, I will check back and it goes up to 78% :-/

So I let my phone charge through USB for twelve hours because my wall charger died and it got up to 50%. I unplugged it and it dropped to 10 percent in a matter of minutes. I have an extended battery and lately I haven't been able to charge it up all the way because there aren't enough hours in the day to charge it full through usb port. Even when my wall charger was working it would charge it to 100 percent and then drop to 10 percent in like 1 or 2 hours. This just started happening.
I went into battery use and noticed that up time is 28:32:36 and awake time is 24:41:32. I definitely have not been using it that much. Does this mean there is an app that is keeping it awake? How can I determine which app it is? Thank you all in advance for the help.
Sounds like a lot of wake lock. Open spare parts, then check partial wake usage [clicking the first tab].

Thanks for the response.
I just downloaded spare parts and it shows facebook 1st and android system 2nd. Is spare parts accurate if I just installed it? Or, do I need let my phone run while it collects data?
Thanks.
Its fairly accurate, but reboot, so that way it can be most accurate.

ok i think it may be something else. i can't seem to charge above 60% and no matter what it drops to 17 % right after i unplug it... i've been using sbc kernel but i don't want think it's that. I guess i should try flashing a different rom and kernel and see if there is a difference. I just don't seem to have enough charge to flash a rom. Any suggestions?
You could try wiping your battery stats, but it's recommended to do that when the battery is at 100%. But I don't really see how it could make the situation any worse - your battery life is pretty horrendous.
Have you tried charging with the phone turned off to see if it'll reach a full charge? If you can get your hands on an external charger, I'd try that too.
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!)
Hey guys, hopefully someone can help.
I have a Nexus with severe charging, overheating and battery drain issues. It's on stock jellybean, factory reset, no extra apps installed, and the battery will discharge in about 1 hour by just sitting idle. It takes maybe 2 days to actually charge to 80%. I'm about to replace the charging port to see if that will help.
However, it's also getting extremely hot. Not just mildly warm. And this is when it's just sitting there idle. Not only that, it's staying hot when the phone is off and not even charging. The only time it stops is when the battery fully discharges in about 2 hours... while the phone is still off.
Anyone experience this?
I have a grey market Galaxy Nexus which means I can't send it in for US repairs.

sounds like its time to replace the battery. is the battery leaking, discolored, warped, or "pregnant"?

Yes, I'm also saying it's the time for a battery replacement. They are fairly cheap, so you can fix it without spending too much money.

Nope, battery looks brand new, but I'll definitely order a new battery. Hopefully the ones on eBay are really OEM.
My battery gets to 122f while charging and wifi tether. I try to keep it near a fan and it helps some. But I don't have any battery drain issues. You probably just need a new battery.

New charging port, new battery and phone still charges extremely slow and drains real fast. About 20% in 40 minutes. Takes around 30 minutes to charge 2%.
Then when I take the battery out and put it back in, the phone thinks the battery is empty (I took it out with 30% charge left). Not sure what to do at this point since the only thing left to do is replace the mainboard which will probably cost more than it's worth.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Some screen shots

After threatening to throw this phone in the ocean, it started working normally.
Trying to figure out what was wrong with it, opened it up again, put back in the old charging port (which had a higher revision number than the one I bought).
I waited 1.5 days for the phone to charge to 96%. Drained it to about 20% in less than 2hrs. Stuck it into the charger again but the battery was still draining. All the way down to 7% where it seemingly stayed stuck for a day. Then I guess it shut itself off.
Went to check on the phone randomly and saw on the power-off screen the battery had charged to 100% which never has happened and especially not in less than a day.
Turned it back on, started using it and battery drains sort of normally now. Overheating has also disappeared completely and now it also charges normally.
So in summary, I have no idea if this problem is going to resurface and I really didn't do anything to fix it. Though I would really like to know what happened to have it malfunction like this for almost a month.
I've been experiencing huge battery drops (from 10% up to 20%) after I reboot my phone. Is this a KitKat issue or is it my battery?
In the morning from 99% (after checking a few messages in the morning), I rebooted and I dropped 11% to 88%.
I think It may have been my battery giving me the huge drops. I don't seem to have this issue any more after buying a new one. :good:
I didnt found it on reboots, but i have this problem when i enter recovery. 20 minutes in recovery - i dont hace 20% of battery.

Hmmm that's strange.
I've noticed it usually drops more when I leave my headphones in.
full loaded ACE 2.
reboot cost u 5%
first 10 % gone in a few minutes for heavy users and in a few hours when deepsleep !!
what i wanna say.
the first 10 % gone in a few.
after that normal drain.
I often get this, although not as bad. I usually lose 2-5% on a reboot, sometimes up to 10%. The other week I charged it to 100% when it was off, turned it on and had 92%.
so is this actually a problem or is it normal for everyone?. Mine looses 5-8% in the first couple of minutes after I unplug the charger..

Its normal. I usually lose the first 5% of a full charge in a couple of minutes. After it gets to 95%, battery charge will drain normally depending on usage.

ok then, thanks...I just thought that this didn;t happen when I was on GB, but it doesn;t matter anyway..
If I reboot once, I will lose between 5 - 10% battery. However, if I reboot straight after the first reboot, I will lose between 0 - 2% battery. I've never really understood this.

Phone need more energy for reboot, that causing the drain. Mine usually drop 2-5%. After recharge battery alsi drop to 95-92% fast. Thats normal

Battery Charging Issue
Is this normal?
When I charge my battery whether it be from mains or USB computer it charges ok, but as soon as it gets to 100% it still says charging for a little time and doesn't report the unplug charger message right away.
With the Jellybean 4.1.2 system I don't get the alert tone when the battery reaches FULL, therefore I have a feeling that when it still says charging even though it's showing 100% that it's actually decreasing power at that point, any help please?
I have tried other batteries, and one in particular goes from 90% right up to 100% and seems to miss that last 10 percent, so I don't use that one now.
I have the most current firmware installed.
Buy a new one

when it says 100%, you still have to wait for a few minutes before it displays the green "full" icon in the upper left corner and asks you to disconnect the charger.
However, the first 5-8% always drains REALLY fast and not proportionally to the rest of the battery drain...
I think It may have been my battery giving me the huge drops. I don't seem to have this issue any more after buying a new one.

what about the initial drain? does the first 10% still drop fast or has this changed too with the new battery?
I just wish that JellyBean 4.1.2 would give an alert sound when the battery has reached it's full limit like Gingerbread used to do.
Who would be the best place to ask them to do this on their next update?
But I think that it does..a very short one indeed, but it does, along with the screen lighting up briefly..

I have sounds all turned on and on full volume so no reason why I dont hear a sound when its reached full capacity.

I left my 8.4 charged with the wall charger over night, in the morning I found it's only 94% full, this happened multiple times, and I also tried another wall charger it still happened. The battery chart shows it stopped at 94% (some times 95%) and never went up. Does anybody has the same problem? Is there anything wrong with the battery? BTW, the battery life is not good for me, screen on for only 5-6 hrs on about 30% brightness.

stock rom, not rooted. I doubt it's caused by any app, if in that case the battery should still be fully charged then go down, but it's not what I saw.

Yes that's exactly the same as mine. I contacted Samsung support and they suggested to do a factory reset to see if it's a problem about software, otherwise I'll need to file a service request.
This happens all the time. If I reboot the tab will then show 100%.

Let it run down to 10% then recharge. do this a couple cycles. You could also try a battery calibration app that wipes the stats and starts fresh.
Solved my issue a while back.
A restart used to fix my issue but now the tab will say it's 100% charged and then at some point drop 10 or even 40% randomly.
Something is definitely wrong with the battery on this thing.
it's not the battery, but the reporting statistics used that is bugging out.

I found the problem has become worse and worse, sometimes it just stopped at 30~40%, then I said "f*** it", opened the back cover, pulled the battery out and put it back, reboot. Left it charged during the night. The next morning I found it charged to 100% !! Will post back if it really solved the issue after some more cycles.

I simply let the battery drain to around 20% and then charged it fully. Ever since (1.5 months ago), it has been reporting accurate battery %.

Hi. I dont know if anyone is still on this post but i have this device and ive had this problem for the last year. It would get so bad with all the discharges that my battery died. I bought another battery and replaced it. I still got -300ma when connected to a 1A chaarger. So i replaced the flexi usb port membrane in hopes that would do it but i only got to 100mA. I bought a 2.4A charger and the tab doesnt even recognize the charger is in. Cant really turn it for service because I rooted it so my warranty is void. Any commentary and opinion would be greatly appreciated.:good:
