I noticed this yesterday when I was out in the field. First, when I got to work, my battery went from 100% to 25% in the amount of time it took me to drive for 25 minutes. Then, when I plugged it in, it didn't really seem to be charging. Something was draining the battery while plugged into the wall socket, still. When I had it connected to a computer USB, it slowly went down.
I took the battery out, put it back in, connected the charge cable and was presented with this image.

I've never seen that before, but I'm guessing something inside the battery has gone kaput. And, this is the battery that came with the phone and I have only been using the Samsung charger that came with it as well.
I'm pretty sure it is the battery, so no big deal, I have my eye on the Anker 4400mAh battery which is only $21 off Amazon, or the Zerolemon for $40.
That's crazy, I've never seen that before either.

Hi guys~ Here wishing everybody Happy Boxing Day
OK, the question is, I don't know my phone is really in deep sleep mode or not.

As you can see, my phone is in deep sleep mode the whole night.[Well the both of us need some rest, right?]
Now, in Battery, my phone's screen is indeed off, but it says that my phone is awake all the time!
And finally, the weirdest thing happened. Before I slept, my phone's battery was at 24%. After I woke up, it was at 31%![As you can see in CPU Spy Plus, Juice Lost is -7%]
SO, any ideas?

Ah. This is not surprising. I assume when you just unplug your phone from the charger awhile before you left your phone and went to bed. Logically Lithium battery is recharged but those charges require some time to "kick-in" Your phone itself is using a setting that requires minimal idle battery consumption. So when the charges starts to "kick-in" but you disconnected from the charger this happens.
Happened to me a lot. Don't worry. Issue
So... I bought a cheap "extended" battery for my glorified wifi hotspot and I plug it in and this is what it says. I found it funny, so I thought I would share.
I'll report on battery life as I go through the first few charging cycles
I use my OV for Pandora and as a wifi hot spot at work. So take my numbers with a grain of salt.
For 10 bucks, if it even does an hour over my stock battery, I'll be happy. I planned on using both anyway.
If the battery life is fantastic, I'll be buying another one, and an external charger. If anyone has a recommendation on a external charger, that'd be awesome. Preferably one thay is universal so I can charge all my extra batteries with it. (Note 2 stock, Rezound extended, Rezound stock, misc camera batteries)
My friend is giving me his Rezound and says that it has a hard time charging, so I figured an external charger would be best until I ca diagnose the problem and fix it.

sent from that HUGE Phone
I'm looking for a quality external battery charger for my E4GT
I have some cheap-o one that looks like it was made in China and it take 16 hours or so to get a full charge on it. Anyone have any suggestions or can point me to one that doesn't take all day to charge? I need it because the guy who repaired the charging port once pretty much destroyed the contacts to the mainboard, so it is now irreparable. I don't think Sprint would cover under the TEP since it has been opened (I had it repaired once when it wasn't covered under the TEP).
If you are looking for a great battery charger, check out Anker battery expert. It has worked very well. I found it online for about $15.

Edit: I have been using this charger nearly every day since September 2013. I use 2 batteries, and alternate between them. My phone won't charge by usb after flying off the dash of vehicle while pluged in.

Hello all,
Today, I decided to take my EG4T in for repairs, as I believed the charging port was defective. After the Charging port was replaced, I attempted to charge it. When I did, I got was a faint blue light on the indicator. The screen flashed on and displayed the charging battery thing, but it flashed off just as quickly. (This occurred before I got the charging port replaced.) I tried different outlets and I am going to try different chargers later, but I want to know if this is the cause of a dead/bad battery.
If this helps, My computer reacts when I connect the phone to it, but disconnects when the screen turns off.
It also got very hot prior to the point of not charging at all.
Thanks in advance,
Arius.
It could be a bad battery, but it sounds like what happened when one of my battery connection pins was pushed in too far, used a paper clip to pull it back out and no problems since.

Power is draining so fast on my Note II recently. I usually use it for like 5 hours and I have to swap the battery.
Today, the battery is draining as usual. After 7 hours use, it was down to 5%.
I did a proper shutdown and removed the battery. I found that I forgot to bring my spare battery so I just reseat the battery and plug in the cable to charge. When the phone starts up, I amazing thing happened. The phone is showing a battery level of 49%?! Huh...?
I don't understand what's going on. Could it be the problem on the phone or the battery or the OS? I've heard that the battery stats in OS is no longer used for the recent mobile phones because the battery nowadays are "intelligent" and stores their own data. I wonder how can I reset the stat for the battery.
Then I do a restart, this time the battery level jumps to 61%. Wow...
