Did you follow the instruction on you battery packadge??? Even though it said 100% on the charge indicator for your phone your supossed to charge for 12 hours? and run it dead and then 5 full run and dead cycles.. run it dead down to 3%.
Then charge it for 12 hours..
You might have screwed the pooch???

Charging from 95% to 100% takes 2 hours

Well lets say my battery is 35% when i get home, it takes about 45 mins to get to 95% then from there takes about 2 hours to get to 100%. Running CM7 on the Telus DHD.
I dont know if this happened with stock as i rooted as soon as i opened it
Try downloading CurrentWidget and then charge your phone until there are zero milliamperes showing on the widget. Then wipe your battery stats and reboot. This should calibrate the readings to be a bit more sensible/accurate, for both usage and charging.
As the battery is charging and nearing full capacity the current slows down thus making the charging process slower.

It's not iOS, Android or WP7 - all Li-Ion batteries have to be charged that way. Just one of these OSes preffers not to give accurate information to its users about baterry charge, signal strenght etc. What you don't know can't hurt you seems to be Apple's moto. Still 2 hours for 95% to 100% is too much.

About 2.5 hours is what I'd expect it to take to charge from 35%
k well today i got home and the batt was 35% (heavy usage) and it only took about 45 mins to get to 90%. From there it goes much slower.
Going to CM7 I had the same problem with my battery being at 95%. I'm planning to drain completely, wipe battery stats immediately, then doing a full charge.
mine only takes just under 2hrs charging from empty to 100%.
It depends if you're charging it through your computer or the wall. If i charge mine through the computer it takes about 3 hours if the battery is completely empty. If i charge it through the wall, it uses about half the time, but the battery empties much faster. Some phones has so called "speed charging". That means that you can choose between good battery life but long chargr, or short charge time but bad battery life. It depends on how you charge it.
But, two hours from 95% is not normal.

This might be a clue to the cause of the problem. I'm now running stock ROM and being in the process of deciding if I should go for Revolution HD or stay on stock, I read numerous posts of battery stats problems. I think the OP should try to wipe the battery stats and see if that would help.

Naztech 3000 mAh extended battery - avoid like the plague

I got a Naztech 3000 mAh "extended" battery, since my stock one lasts for around 14 hours on a single charge. I figured I may add an extra 6 hours or so, or use my phone a bit more during the day.
So, here's what happened.
Day one: 4 hours after I charged my "extended" battery, I was down to 15% charge. 1 hour later, it was at 1%. I hadn't used my phone AT ALL. Charged after 6 hours of (no) use.
Day 2: Pretty much the same.
Day 3: Ran Battery Repair and wiped battery stats. No change.
Day 4: Used my phone heavily, and noticed it stayed at 1% for a couple of hours.
Day 5: Noticed a pattern. The battery will drop to 1% within 3~4 hours of use, and will stay there for around 9 hours. Then it'll turn off.
So, the "extended" battery lasts for some 12 hours - tops. 3 hours after charging you won't know how much juice you have left, since it stays at 1% from that point on.
Bottom line: don't waste your money, the battery is crap.
I have the same issue but not with that battery, i've been trying to find a way to fix it, none of the battery voodoo has worked for me yet
after my phone shuts off because it thinks it's dead and i plug it in to charge, within 2 minutes i have about 20% or more charge in the battery, then after 15 minutes it's about 50% or more charge.
is that same thing happening to you ??

Sort of, yes. It charges in half an hour, tops - if the phone is turned off. If I then turn it on, the phone shows 40% charge, or so - and tops 10 or 15 minutes later. Bizarre!
Happens to me also but only with the replacement battery i have.? It discharges fast and stays at 5% for a few hours. The OEM Battery 1880mah works fine about 1 and half day

I am having the same issue with my OEM Battery.Is there any solution for this or can we set the indicator to show the charge according voltage of battery bcoz i have noticed that charge time is good only indicator is not showing it accurately .My phone last full charge lasted more than 17hrs but it was on 5% in 2 to 3hrs of use.
Update: Today my charge was at 100% at 10.00 AM. With light usage, the phone died at around 5.30 PM.
My battery seems to report better percentages of juice left if I use Kholk's kernel, but I'm not sure exactly why. It doesn't go along very well with Faux's kernel, though.
...can't say much about the factory kernel. Haven't used it much myself.

Actually, the atrix doesn't support aftermarket batteries. Motorola says so, and Mugen says so. That battery is fine, you can use it on 1% for a while. And when it dies charging from 1-99% is accurate for my battery. But when you hit 100% all bets are off.

Did you turn phone off to charge, and pull battery and after it boots to a ?. You should let it sit there for a while and try again.
Mugen has an extended battery for the Atrix:

Of course, that one is $119, so it probably will work as intended...
Yesterday I got 6 hours out of my charge. I got fed up and swapped the battery for the stock one. $25 I'll never see again...

First charge?

I buyed the n7100 today, how many hours should the mobile charge?
sry for my bad english^^
How long it takes to complete charging. Mine takes around 2 hrs 45 mins from almost empty.
Until the phone says it is fully charged (battery 100%). That should take between little over 1 hour (battery partially charged, as it normally arrives) to almost 3 hours for a very low battery.
Ignore those indications to have a first charge of 6, 8 or even 12 hours. They are no longer valid for modern LiOn batteries.

did you try it on stock rom?
and also you phone overheat on charging?
its probably cause sometimes because of hardware issues.

Battery can not be fully charged - 8.4

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.

Is there any way to fix this? If it's fully charged then it should show 100%.
I have the same issue, read here:

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 %.

But the problem was the battery could not be charged to 100%, even if I left it charged over night, in the morning it showed 30%.
Mine works 100% perfect on ND3..
I have tried to make it do somthing weird..
I can't see anything in the ROM coding so far that would cause this..
So over a week later and my battery has been perfect.. Stock rooted nai....
4hrs 40 mins of screen on too..
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:
