I have been facing constant battery drain for sometime now. Even while charging, battery keeps on draining without much of heavy use.
Plus it may sound weird, but this constant drain is not continuous for days. Some days battery works fine, but some days it just won't charge. For example, last night i kept my phone on charging, but in the morning battery was around 75% charged instead of 100% (charge time was around 7-8 hours)
I am using original charger supplied to me by this phone and the phone itself is unrooted/ stock rom.

Your battery sounds like it sucks.
I am using a method on my phone that shows me (about) how many mA is going in and out of the battery. An App called CoolTool amazingly loaded and complex app, which can do an overlay. I use this app for only One visual overlay, the mA display. (current)
I wont tell you how to set it up, because you will find it. I will tell you it shows how much power is being sucked up, and the reverse shows negative numbers when being charged , at least when being charged faster than it discharges. Set it to update every 30seconds, not a great update rate , but given enough time you can see what is going on. There is another program called "current widget" capable of faster updates, but does not do overlay (cause its a widget), It will work to show power on this here lg too, but i do not find it as usefull, and high update rates could take a bit more battery.
Speaking of charging faster than discharging, turn on the wifi and the screen and mabey some background garbage, then charge it up with either a lightweight wire (to much resistance) or a charger that does not have a good output. And it will use more power than you can put in So when charging on either of these apps that shows current, you eventually want to see actual Negative numbers like -1000 for a fast charge from the OEM charger.
So get a view going , and you can see what is happening. Not all the phones will show this current, and not very many programs do it, And with coolTool we also get to see it (overlay) when gaming, and watching movies. so it is a start to discovery. I have no affiliation with all these programs that i am ending up recommending, other than having been through google store hell for ages trying to find the right ones.
Thank you for the reply. Let me see if it helps
I appreciate your help, but i don't understand a word the app is trying to show me. I am currently using the app, and sometimes the charge goes up to 376mA down to -21mA while doing one time charge.
Is it normal? I don't have a spare charger to try it, but was using OEM charger. Stats i told was from the OEM itself.

So it probably is not your battery, it is probably the rate of charge.
This is a similar quantity that I will see when the "fast charge" is not going , there might even be a notification saying slow charge.
That happened to me 3 different ways.
1) when using a non-oem charger (including pc)
2) when using a different wire, the wires that did not work were either longer or weaker wiring.
3) just because fast charge did not kick in for some reason, disconnecting both sides and reconnecting worked.
I believe that the numbers your seeing , just like what i saw, are a 500mA type Charge rate, it is showing about 300mA (from the battery) when the phone (at least temporarily) is using about 800mA and the negative numbers (-21mA) when it is finnaly using less than the 500mA.
Turning the backlight down (a lot) and turning off ALL the other stuff that uses battery, can get the Use down to about 250mA , or turning it to screen off, where it should use very little.
Still without this fast charge, it isnt going to be a very happy experience, but it is possible to use.
Charger which i use
See the difference in charges and look at the time. (Note each time i took screenshot, i pulled the wall charger out of socket and put it back on. Shouldn't it be constant?)

That is the 1.2A charger, there is also a 1.8A charger.
I do not think that the cool tool has any averaging, it is just a single sample. So it would be all over the place as the use of the phone and charging changes, it will be More the same when the exact same things are done. the exact same screen lighting, the same ammount of cpu use etc for long times. So it can easily vary 500, or under much user control of the phone you can get it to stabalise with +-100 swings.
I have most all of the apps and background data, and Mobile data, and all that stuff under control. You also now have one more app (the cool tool itself) that will be using power. that is why i mentioned controlling it to only 1 thing.
So it is all very normal to see such changes in the sampling, I spent a lot of time getting samples, to get a feel for everything. I dont write them down, but I know what gets it to change now, some things more than others. (some I can do without
You should still be able to shut off most of your apps temporarily and turn off unnessisary I/O and features, lower the light, and wait , and wait to see how the charge is working.
Yep i have already tried and done from past weeks. Some days it just works fine, but other days, it just sucks. I mean looking at your phone with battery going down exponentially in front of your own eyes and you out at office.
But yes, I'll try a 1.8A charger in a few days. will get back to you then

Phone was running Miui's latest rom with Tiamat's 4.0.2 sbc kernel and then viperboys BSM v2. Well today my phone totally died, zeroed out. I put it on my car charger and it was charging but I noticed it stayed at 0% for some time. Anyway, I finally get home and it's around 11% while getting out of the car. I plug it into my regular wall charger and set it down and this was earlier today. I go to pick it up and it's dead. No response, no lights, not even a flicker. I take the USB cable and plug it into my computer and I get a very very feint red light that blinks maybe 3-4 times then it's gone. Well needless to say second time I tried I got it to come on but for a split second then that's it.
What could have happened?

I can't even get the phone to turn on. If it's plugged in via USB to computer it'll come on but if you blink you'll miss it. Quick shut on then off.
I've read if these drain too low, then the phone won't allow a charge. I've got it on a stand-alone prong charger now and it looks like it may be charging. I think it's time to invest into a extended battery.
My guess is the battery. Might need to take it to sprint and let them boost it. I've seen this a few tines where it gets so low it wont charge.

Lol yeah it's crazy.
Just for the record guys. With my setup I posted up top, I went into battery monitor and looked at the history to see what was up. Turns out my battery percentage was all over the place and eventually started de-charging itself till it KO'd. I reset the BSM and I'm now using Tiamat with no SBC. So far so good.
i was useing an sbc kernal and like many have warned to not leave it on the charger overnight thats what i did every night my phone was acting the same way put it on the charger at 65% woke up in the morning to find it at 50% took the back off the phone off put the old battery in charged perfect inspected the first battery the plastick was comeing off and the battery was slighly swollen. im glad hts all that happened switched back to stock cm7 kernal andgot a new battery happy as a clam
Dude get a NEW BATTERY..
did you try the wall charger first. PC ports only put out 500mAh at max per port, where as you typical wall charger for the Evo should put out 1Ah. (I dont know if you already did this) Also, car chargers dont have the strongest power output.
If none of that works, then try a new batter.
Disregard, didn't see that you got it fixed lol...you can use this info for future reference?

Yeah I tried all that and it seemed at the time my port on the PC was putting out more than the wall charger. But I'm looking into getting an extended battery. For now everything's all good.
Had that happen to me acouple of times. Thought usb was bad thought maybewall plug tried everything. Took bat out if phone and left for an hour. Put back in phone and it took a charge fine.. later search and found that evo has a safety if bat drains to low they will sometime lock the charging mechanism and to leave bat out for awhwile is only fix.

Hi, I just had my SGSII for couple of days and noticed inconsistent battery charging rate which I've ruled out that is not charger/cable dependent. So I would like to ask if anyone have similar issue or could offer an explanation.
Basically I use the phone charges sometimes at 20%/hour, and sometimes at 40%/hour. I've been using both the samsung stock charger & iphone's 2A charger and there is no correlation between the charging rate & the charger I use. I use debloated Samsung ROM and the faux kernel.
The only other explanation that it could be is that when I get 40% charging rate, I was using 7b4(I think, not entirely sure), at 20%/hour, i was using stock, faux 7r2 or 9r.
below are the screen shot, among 5 times I've charged the phone #2 & #3 were at 40%/hour, the rests were at 20%/hour:

The device will charge the fastest when it is turned off. If you are streaming music, tethering and running other applications, it will obviously charge slower.
My phone has always been on idle when it's being charged so far. what's your charging rate?

Depends on what the phone is doing. If its idle and there are a lot of background processes going on, the rate is slower.

I believe it has to do with chargers in my case.
Since October I've used only two chargers the Samsung one that comes with the phone and my Kindle 1 charger.
Samsung: 40-50%
Kindle: 10-20%
90% of the time the phone is idling.
alright, i charged the phone again using the the stock charger, and it was about 40%/hour on standby mode. Weird I thought I tested it using the OEM charger and it was also 20%/hour. guess I remember it wrong...
ahh.. .here finally found the original topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332522&highlight=charging
there was a lot of good info on that one, as well as some unexplained behaviour, the same you are trying to figure out
all i know is that yes 2A charger does work, regardless of what the tester shows
and the Battery Widget App, i use it too, and i have to agree it's not very accurate, as it will only show you the actual rater after 2 minutes of charging it
however it's very close to the real values, specially when it's charging and the current flow, i get readings that matches the input quality of the charger, as in USB, Wall, 1 Amp, 2 Amp, 0.7 Amp, 0.45 Amp and so on
there is also the possibility of risking to be stuck at 100% when not using them OEM charger. I have couple of 3rd party charger lying around, so I'm going to try them one by one and see which one works. At least now i know that the apple charger does not work well with the phone(at least the older one, stuck at 100% after charged, and slow charging rate despite it's rated at 1.5Ah+, going to try my newer ipad2 charger).
as for the 100% stuck, as some other have pointed out it only happens when you use AC chargers of any kind
charging via USB doesn't cause the problem
using the original Samsung AC to USB charger also does not cause the problem simply because it's still using USB charging
i had another original OEM Samsung charger that i plugged in and it was also causing the 100% stuck issue, so it's just some sort of confirmation the phone seems to be expecting from a USB power/data cord but is not found on an AC power cord

Today I updated my galaxy tab S to 5.0.2 stock. I've had two issues with the update, by the way I'm using the LTE version, one is really slow charging like 10 to 15% an hour slow, And the other is at the fingerprint sensor keeps failing on me asking me to restart.I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal really annoying an popping of these dialog boxes to go away I just keep tapping okay and eventually it will be back to normal. I'm not sure about the finger scanner BEFORE the update, but I can tell you I've never dropped it, while charging seemed to be at 25-30 an hour before. Normal or strange?
It sounds like you might need to recalibrate the battery, you can download free apps from the play store that delete the battery calibration data and then you do a full discharge and charge to make a new one, you need to be rooted.
There is a way to recalibrate without be rooted, but it has to be done manually just ask.
The calculation below are just a guess as i never fully charge my 10.5" and have now done about 170 days without restarting it, never since i got it.
I have the 10.5" and it has an 7900mah battery, and it charges at 1800ma till it hits 80% then it slows down, so using a battery charge time calculator it will take me 5H to go from 0% to 80%
If you have the 8.4" as it has an 4900mah battery, if it charges at 1800ma to 80% , it will take 3H to go from 0% to 80%
It`s the last 20% that take the longest to finish as the charge rate is reduce lower and lower till it hits 100%, so i only ever charge my 10.5" to 80% plus it`s better for the battery.
I use GSam Battery Monitor to sound an alarm when the charge hits 80%

I have the 10.5 and it's slow even on lower percent.. Been charging for 2h only gone up 10% from 3 to 12.
Definitely something wrong there.
Are you using the original charger and usb cable, as other chargers and cable can be really slow.
Try the app below, it should tell you your charging current, it should be around 1800ma

Samsung charger is broken, with an LG charger it shows max at 1800 mA, so there's the problem. Thanks!
Great that you have found your problem, did you fix the fingerprint sensor problem you were having?
Also that LG charger are you using, do you have the model number? , as it`s hard to find non Samsung chargers that charge fast.
Thanks

Hi guys, anybody has an idea why is my SM-T320 is changing that slow. It almost cannot reach 100% even if I keep it 13hrs or more on the charger. Reboot doesn't help, maybe if I switch it off is a little bit faster, but not so sure.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
Yeah sometime it happens with this device my best advise is don't try force charging it (leaving it plugged in), it will only make it worse and damage / overheat the batt..
Do this instead leave it at the current charge and use the tablet until the battery is down to about 10-15% then reboot the tablet, see if the percent changes as this forces the tablet to re-evaluate the battery, then fully shut down press the power button down for 5 - 10 seconds and choose power off.
plug the tablet into the samsung charger (don't use unofficial chargers/ cables if possible), it should reach 100% now.
some other things I have tried that can help
I have a cable that monitors the amperes and sometimes I notice the tablet doesn't request enough feed from the charger (it starts trickling at like 100mA) usually when its almost nearly charged,
so sometimes if you force keep the screen on with moderate or full brightness, and power saver turned off while charging this causes the charger to send more current and you will notice it will say 100% a lot faster, so that is another thing you can try.
As a last resort you can re-seat the battery but I would only suggest that in extreme cases.
[email protected] , thanks. Last night exactly at midnight i put it on the charger, it was on 50% like. After 7 hours it was 95% . I rebooted it and after 3 minutes it was 100%.

I was having the same problem, changing the usb cable did the trick...
I tried with my i9505 charger which is the same but again the same issue. Actually for example when reaches 30% it stops you have to reboot the device to continue chargin. Sometimes but not very often it charges normally.
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
Yeah it's very picky sometimes I wonder if it's temperature related, mine was never as bad as yours but I have seen it stop at around 95% a few times, I have an amper cable and it reads like 100mA - 50mA (in standby, 0mA - 10mA if wifi is off), sometimes unpluging the charger and re-pluging it in gets it going again.
You could try to fully shut the tablet down, and keep it off for 24hours - let everything kindof reset and discharge (like if it was exposed to ESD) , shame samsung didn't include a reset button since that would be like pulling the battery.
You might have the same battery problems many of us have, check the link in my signature on how to fix it.
I had that problem too.
Tried drain the battery end then it would sometimes charge to full but after 1 or 2 charging cycles the problem re-occured again.
Reseating the battery was the solution for me. After i have done that the problem never occured again. ( 8 months ago )
I believe it's somehow related with the smartcase. You guys have smartcases?

No, dont use any case.
I dont believe it is heat related. The onlu thing i did was disconnect the battery and reconnect. After i have done that it was like i had an new battery.
No problems with charging anymore and a little bit more stamina.
Dont know why, but many of us had this problem and this seems to fix that "bug".
I use an amp cable (shows the current flow), if the reading is less then 1880mA (at 50% or less) then I unplug the charger and cable use the tablet alittle more then re-plug it in - hasn't failed me yet
I think I found a solution :
Leave the device to complete discharge until it switch off by it self. Then put the charger but don't switch it on. Let it charges to 100%. I did that 3 times. Now I successfully charged it to 100% 2 times without switch it of.
The reason why I am looking for that kind of solution is because I have warranty, but Samsung will keep it for like 2-4 weeks.

Actually when you have disconnect and connect battery, the battery connector doesn't make good contact with pins of the black battery connector on main board.
The fix is very simple, push the clips of battery cable closer

Guys, just quick question. Today morning I plug my phone to the original charger (phone was totally discharged (switched off)) and after boot it said me "Quick Charging, fully charged after 3 hours". Bloody hell, is it any type of joke? I thought that quick charging feature is about quick charging, isn't it? Next problem which I have last time (the day before yesterday probably) was that phone told me "fully charged after 1 hour and 20 minutes" but it took almost 2 hours. I use original nexus charger.
Has anyone the some experience with this type of "fast" charging?
Thanks in advance.
My phone charges slowly only when i use it plugged in to the wall...Make sure the slow charge is a software issue and not a hardware,try to calibrate the battery and if it doesn't work try to flash the stock google images (do a backup before flashing),finally,send as a screenshot of your battery stats while charging to see how bad your device charging rates are!...

Next problem which I have last time (the day before yesterday probably) was that phone told me "fully charged after 1 hour and 20 minutes" but it took almost 2 hours. I use original nexus charger.
Has anyone the some experience with this type of "fast" charging?
Thanks in advance.

If your screen is on or the battery is warm, it will charge much slower.
I suggest you leave the screen turned off and let it charge, and check back in 30minutes to see if the charge time has updated to reflect a faster charging rate.
Should charge perfectly fine if you have the screen off and don't use it. I regularly go 15% to 90% in 60 minutes.

This test was with airplane mode on but does the same with it off.

It's cause you started at near 40%. All fast charging has basically three levels that tapers from fastest to slowest. Basically in simplest terms it's 0-40% full fast charging, 40-80% regular charging, 80-100% slowest. There's actual numbers with mAh readings for exact details but no need for that. It does this for temperature control. It's also why a lot of fast charging tech advertise 0-80% times. That last 20%, especially 90-100%, is way slower than any other part. So to get the most of fast charging it's actually best to use your phone down to a low reading like 15-20%. As you can see, you end up wasting time trying to charge like you did compared to my screenshots. Essentially you're able to use you phone longer and yet be plugged in for a short period.

Mathematically that is correct, but for longer battery life expectancy (over time), they suggest you charge 50-90% even though it is less efficient in terms of amount of time spent charging.
So I tested charging for one hour starting at 40% and it actually did a little better than what you're getting. Went 40-93% in 60 minutes.
I still suggest starting around 15-20% though because as you can see, 60 minutes of uninterrupted charging gets you to 90% whether starting at 15% or 40%.

Guys, thanks for your effort. I will be trying to find the best way of charging. Even though energy efficient could by better in Google's Nexus I think. I have problem to stay charged 24 hour in a row. Maybe the reason is that I did just maybe 10 charging cycles and the battery is still to new and is still formatting, who knows.

Yeah if you check the battery life thread you'll see people getting various hours of battery usage. Personally, I'm always topping off when I get home from work for about 30 minutes or so (I always shower when I get home) and end with plugging in while sleeping.

in my experience, everytime I had trouble with fast charging (Zenfone and Nexus 5x) was a matter of faulty cable. try to replace your old one. in most cases, processors are kinda super sensitive about the "health" of the cable and won't let the magic happen it's happening to me in these days with my QC2.0 car adapter.
