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

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?

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

So about 4 months ago my phone starting having charging issues.
I am running Juggs 5.0.
I switched to AKOP, didn't love the interface so I switched back to Juggs. I have tried everything, New battery, different charger, darkside super wipe, nandroid back to stock, back to Juggs, only added the apps I needed.
Sometimes it charges but usually only about 35% - 45% before it stops and then starts sucking the battery away. Now I can get it to start charging again if I reboot, but again it does the same thing.
Can anyone help me out or do I need to send it to Samsung?

New Battery? you should check if the battery is ok, I judge that it must be the problem of your battery, you should choose an original battery.
Both batteries are good they charge fine in my fiancee sgs2. Wondering if it's the socket where I plug in... Grrr so frustrating

I'm having an issue with my phone.
When I charge my phone; after its fully charged and I pull it from the charger and then the battery discharges faster than normal.
To fix this I have to unplug it and plug it back in until it charges again. Then I will get the normal use out of it.
How do I fix this issue? Is this something with my phone or battery? I'm running stock, non rooted ROM on my SGS3.

Maybe something wasn't clear. My battery life is significantly reduced when just a regular recharge. When I do a full charge, allow my phone to go to 99 percent, and then fully charge my battery life is normal.

it sounds like a problem with your micro usb flex ribbon. I had a similar issue with my galaxy note 1. It would charge intermittently but eventually I couldn't use it to charge at all and I had to replace it. Have you tried to use another Rom to see if it may be a power management issue too?

Its full stock and non root and I would like to keep it that way. I'll try a different charger though.

when you charge it try to see if charging turns off and on at random. If it does its prolly the flex ribbon

I've been using a Galaxy Note II since early February, and battery power has been absolutely amazing. However, the past several days, I've been experiencing extreme battery drainage. I didn't notice until this morning how severe it really was. I woke up for school at 7:15a.m. and it was 100% charged, but by the time I got in class at 8:15, it was already at 50%. Yes, I was using my phone on the way to school, but I only used Twitter for maybe twenty minutes, then turned off the screen. I don't have any heavy apps downloaded, and from what I can see, there are no rouge apps either. While I was charging when I got home (the battery was at 23% after desperately trying to save it all day) I noticed that the battery was actually draining instead of charging.
I've rebooted and tried using my sister's charger with no results. I set my screen brightness as low as possible, turned on power saving mode, and made sure that it says I'm charging under AC instead of USB. While charging my phone, my battery level at the beginning of this post was 68% and is now 63%.
What can possibly be wrong with my phone so out of the blue? Is it just a problem with the battery, or is there something I can do or at least try? Thank you for the feedback!
edit:
my phone is not rooted
Try to see the battery usage in the settings maybe some app is causing that, also make sure your phone is going into deep sleep. Thats all I can say, I have to admit is draining very fast

I live in Ecuador so is a different volatge
I'm the type if I see a charger I'll top off as much as I can at whatever % but I hear that every time I charge it's weakening the battery to where it becomes harder to hold a charge down the road ..what does everyone else suggest ...charge it overnight and let it run low before plugging up again or charge it throughout the day

Personally having these phones, I think charging all the way down then all the way up kills the battery...I plug my phone in whenever I can and always had great battery life. ..I also leave it on the charger while using it and until I need to move it. ..

I topped it off when I know when I'm going out. I managed to grab spare batteries finally, so now I just switch them once they get low.

I'll plug it in when I can. Ultimately I want to get one of the wireless charging back covers so I can just put it on my charging pad but alas, I haven't yet. IMO, I wouldn't let it go all the way down.
Lithium batteries have a limited number of discharge/recharge cycles, usually 500-1000. If you run all the way down and then fully charge, that is one cycle. If you run to 75% and then charge to 100%, that's one quarter of a cycle. Who's to say which method yields more battery longevity - burning a whole cycle once a day or 3 to 4 partially cycles throughout the day? I would guess that in the end, it's all about the same.

Even then batteries are not that expensive.if you need a full charge when you go somewhere, having topped off means you will have a working phone. Beats having a dead phone when you need one. Battery wears out, get a new one.
