Battery Charging

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

[Q] Battery Issue

So here's my problem:
About few weeks ago, my battery started to fooling with me. When I use it for Facebook, Twitter and normal web surfing, the battery goes down, fast, from 100% to 10% took only about one hour plus. Then I left it aside. Check it again after 30 minutes, the battery went up to 27%. So I think battery was miscalibrated so I tried to calibrate the battery using all the guides I can find on the net for weeks but none worked.
So what should I do? Should I change a new battery?

Did u try calibrate it properly, eg.. wait till its charged fully then wipe them. using an app from playstore is the best way. If u wipe stats when its not charged100% then it will start jumping percentages.

Standard batteries are terrible anyway. I couldn't do without my 3600mah one now.
As wedgess said, get an app for calibration. I use 'battery calibration' (simple enough) which works perfectly for me

PROBLEM SOLVED... this works with all xperia play models and it fits with the back cover that comes with the phone...O and it comes with the instruction on how to change the battery build prop.

Which means I'll need to get a new battery? No other way to save it?

Well try to underclock it and make the screen brightness lowest. Try to look at the battery stats too as you may have an app which is using a lot of resources of your phone. If you can live without your phone then switch it off completely, try to find the charger with highest mAh output (the higher the mAh output is the quicker it is charging), connect your turned off phone to the charger, make sure it's charging, leave it for 2 days charging like this and then disconnect it, boot it straight to the recovery, wipe the battery stats from recovery. If this is not going to help then I seriously have no idea what else you can do.

Phone's not overclocked, brightness is always low, I used it for texting my gf for whole day, played word search for a while and my phone left 50%, no data no WiFi nothing, When I turned on WiFi and keep using it, battery drops fast. Reached 4% I left it, went back to 16%, continue using, left 4 % again, left it again went back to 10%, then I used it till 4% again, now left 6%. Using stock charger but with different cable since my stock cable is broken. Is that related? If yes I'm going to get a new charger.

[Q] Battery Taking Too Long to Charge

I've had my N2 for a few weeks now. Suddenly, it has taken much, much longer to charge the phone. I calibrated the battery, drained it to 0 and plugged it in. 3 hours later it's still at 50% (and the phone is charging while off. Any suggestions?

Are you using the stock wall charger and cable that came in the box?

The reason the battery is taking so long to charge is because you ran it down to 0. If you want your batter to last longer it's best to use the 80 / 20. What I'm saying is use the phone down to 20% and recharge back to 100%.

May be a faulty battery. Contact Samsung (I'm assuming that by n2 you mean note 2) and they'll probably send you a new battery.

I only had one issue, yesterday, and it was that my phone showed 25 percent charge on stock white Samsung charger/cable and I knew it had been on the charger longer than that. I rebooted and it showed 74%. Not sure what the hell this was about.

Old rules by what standard? Anytime using lithium type of battry is best not to run it down to 0%. I guess you don't have much experence with them besides your phone. I use them everday for my hobby. Sure you can run them down to 0% if you like replacing them quicker.

Huh? Its a lithium battery...those old rules dont apply. A little quick google on lithium batteries will explain this.
More than likely slow charges are due to a slow charge plug/cable...many prior posts on the charger.

Old rules were for NiCad tyoe batteries, where you did want to run them down to 100% and had to deal with other issues. If you do end up doing that Google search you will find the advice given is pretty accurate. Staying out of the high and low ends for long periods will give you many more cycles.

Buddy i am having the same problem ... did you find any sloutions
i went to service centre those assh**** have no idea and said that note 2 is a bigger phone so it will take 6 hrs to fully charge.
pl help me out

I know this would be obvious, but I figured I will ask anyway. Are you still running the stock kernel, or are you possibly running one without the capability to accept the 2.1A charging?

I have 4.1.1 original firmware

I have a telus note 2, I am running stock software, rooted, I drain battery down to 10% and takes abour 2.5-3 hours to fully charge with stock cable and charger. I have noiced on a custom room it always taking longer to charge. I always charge with phone off.in doing this , I usually can get longer life out of the battery as well.

You would know if you were running a different kernel. You would have had to install it yourself. If you are All stock (ROM, AC adapter, cable) then you have something defective.
Here is my screenon time with everything running all the time on cleanROM with 6400 mah battery.
-- Note II, TapaTalk II--

Batteries will last thousands of cycles charging to 100% from 50, but maybe 300 cycles charging from 0 to 100. Don't run your battery down so much. Charge it when you're not using it.

Note2 battery drain problem
I too facing battery drain problem in my samsung galaxy note2 from last 1 week after installing lattest software update.
Previously my note2 was charged quickly in within 2 hours. After software upgrade, which came as push message, my battery takes almost 5-6 hours to charge from wall plugin source.
Can any body help me in restoring previous version of software??

New issue..

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

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?

Phone slow charge?

I bought my S3 on july and no flaw what so ever, I used to play PPSSPP, I would say its a battery draining app cuz I needed the phone at full power to play, I could play while changing and the battery actually charged, but now. Even by using Mango (which doesn't need much resources) and power saving turned on, plugged in and the phone's charge drops instead of rising. Any idea as to why?

Im rooted and on 4.3 and I can go from 100% to 30% in a little over 4 hours. The only way I can get my phone to charge now is through a wall charger. Even then its taking forever. Not like it was before when I was on 4.2

my phone only accepts OEM Samsung chargers (cant use any other charge cable or box), and a really good wall plug in order to charge

That happens to me sometimes too but usually it charges normally after a reboot.
