Hello everyone. One of the problems that i am having is the charging that usually takes up 6 hours to fully charge from 10-20%. Also i thing the battery is draining faster than it should. These problems have been there since the beginning that i bought the tablet( lg V510). I have tried charging with 3 different charges and outlets with the same result... Is there anything that i can do, or should i just try the warranty?
Have you tried another charger cable...

For the battery drain and other issues, root your device and install the Xposed Framework, then Greenify and AppOpps. For some other tweaks, download the sleekai kernel, and you should find your battery life much improved.
For charging, yes, it takes a while, but it sounds like you may be using a different charger than that which came with the device. Also, I have enabled Fast Charge in the sleekai kernel as an option for you to explore.
I have tried other cables too with no difference.... Could a defective battery be causing this slow charging?
Also enabling fast charging meaning you are charging in how much time?
Thanks for the help

Something I've discovered recently, and I am not sure I can explain it properly, but here goes...
I am running SRF 1.1.1, I don't believe this is the cause of the problem, but probably something that should be stated.
So running SRF1.1.1, I usually get wonderful battery life. I typically use an external charger and swap out batteries when they get to around 10-15%. This has worked well for me.. For the past few days I got lazy, and just plugged my phone in and left it on my desk to charge, no problem. When the battery is fully charged and I unplug it from the charger, I noticed it was rapidly draining.... I am aware that often when charging via the phone the battery immediately drops to 96% when removed from the charger. So this is normal, but I've noticed that after unplugging from the charger I lose about 10% per hour, when normally it may be 1-2% depending on usage.
To remedy this problem, rebooting seems to fix this issue. I have also had success with the airplane mode toogle. I don't see any odd usages showing up in spare parts, but is there any other way I can test this theory?
Thanks!!
Edit: Wanted to add, that this only seems to happen when using the charger cable with the phone. Swapping batteries does not seem to produce this issue. It is only when the phone is removed from the charger.
I haven't calibrated by battery lately and thats exactly what mine does too, I would stick to the external charger because our phones charge excruciatingly slow unless off. Try calibrating by charging to full while on then turn it off and let it charge more and repeat that a couple times then boot into cwm go to advanced and clear batt stats
Is there an advantage to calibrating a battery if it is not being charged in the phone?
This is the TWS bug mixed with no battery calibration.

similar to what i have been experiencing. i enjoyed great battery life with srf 1.1.0. have a 3500mAh battery that i used to get about 48 hours out of, but now it is averaging around 25-30. i do not have anything but the stock battery to swap with, so i do put it on the charger nightly now. i was planning to recalibrate the battery tonight to see if that cleared things up.
what would be a way to fix the tws bug?
I have noticed this too. It seems to srf seems to not like my extended battery. I am lucky I get a day out of it. I some times will plug it into one of my work computers just to bring the charge up a little and it starts flashing red and discharging this is only on my extended battery not the 2 stock ones I have. I have even tried different kernals to see if that was issue it isn't.
Sent from my lean mean drunken machine useing XDA Premium and a 12 pack of Sam Lager
in looking at battery usage in >settings>about phone>battery use>cell standby i see usually 0-5% tws.
one thing i have noticed, though have not tested is that the screen appears brighter, even at the minimum setting than what i remember from srf 1.1.0
I currently have the CM10.1-M3 build from 4/17/13 installed.
For a long while, I have been having major issues charging my Captivate Glide.
My original battery died. It was bloated. I called AT+T and they sent me a replacement. I also bought two high capacity batteries.
If I leave the phone charging about half the time little or no progress is made charging. Lat night I charged the phone for over 8 hours and the charge went from 10% to 14%.
Other times I will wake up after charging it all night and it will say fully charged, but then the instant it is unplugged from the charger, it will drop down from 100% to 20% or less.
Then once every 3 or 4 days it will actually fully charge. But even in that case the charging is slow at best.
I did a full wipe and re-flashed last night and nothing changed. I have tried charging in airplane mode, but that seems to make it worse. I have had a little tiny bit of success turning mobile data off, but otherwise I have tried everything I could think of with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues, or have any suggestions? Is this a case where I might need to replace the phone entirely?

I did notice a lot longer charge time when hooked up to USB on computer, on my car charger and hooked up to AC I seem to get a lot quicker charge...
What charger are you using?

I have tried a few different chargers. I mostly use a 2.1amp wall charger. I also have a 1 amp wall charger, and a 1 amp car charger. I have tried about 3 different car chargers.
I am really suspicious that the micro-usb port on the phone went bad and that I will need to get the phone replaced.
Charging with AC is gonna be alot faster then with DC. But as far as it being the rom I don't see tthat.. sounds like possibly a loose wire or bad connection when u lay ur phone down

phatryan has a point, do a nandroid backup, flash to stock and see if the charging makes a difference..
Charging
Hello,
When I charge my Captivate Glide with phone powered up plugged in to the wall, using the supplied wall charger, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain quicker. This is with the original battery, I will be getting an extended battery for my phone. If I power the phone down then charge it in to the wall it charges quickly and seems to take longer draining. This does not happen when charging with the PC.

Bloated battery could just be bad - but it could also be due to overcharging. That's not going to happen unless there is a serious problem with your phone, or possibly a problem with the contacts leading to an incorrect voltage reading. This also may explain your problems charging and sudden jumps in charge %.
Clean your contacts well on the battery side and phone side with a pencil eraser, rubbing alcohol, etc.
I notice a big difference with whatever kernel is shipping with the current M3 cm10.1 build between a 500ma charger and 2amp charger, so I imagine the kernel is set for a 750ma or 1amp charge.
Hey
So I used to have a steady 30 - 45% per hour charge time on my desire eye using the stock charger not 2.0 fast charge
Now after leaving it connected to the charger while flashing a rom (this was a total mistake) I can't seem to get the charge rate to above 20% per hour same or different charger so it takes extremely long to charge
HELP ANYONE??
Check your charging cable for any damage.
Also check if you have some problems with battery (for example, MRA bug cause a huge battery drain, that also decrease charging speed, also overheating).
If your battery is OK, than maybe you need a new charger.
Most probably MRA issue, install xposed module "Marshmallow Radio Active Fix" in order to fix this issue. Your welcome. Oh on the other hand if u do not have MRA issue do not try installing this module just in case cuz I tried that and let me tell u it crashed my phone and caused boot loops.
When charging, my new Nexus 5X goes from <10% to 100% in about an hour. That's the best charging time I've ever had on any device I've owned. Google mentioned a technology they call 'Rapid Charging' on the 5X and 6P and I attribute the fast charging time to it.
Now I'm planning to root the phone and flash Pure Nexus with ElementalX kernel cause I've heard it gives excellent battery time (around 5 hours of SoT) but I'm worried if I do, I might lose the Rapid Charging.
Should I be worried? Do ElementalX and Pure Nexus support Google's Rapid Charging?
You don't lose the Rapid Charging

So I suppose Rapid Charging isn't linked to any software on the Nexus's stock ROM?
Im running the elementalX kernel and my phone charges rapidly still on the rare instances when I use the factory charger? You wont lose the ability to charge rapidly.
I typically charge the battery as slow as possible whenever possible as Ive found is lasts longer on each charge when its been slow charged. Just my experience though.

what ur getting is placebo. the battery goes down according to the usage, аctive networks, time spent just looking at sth on the screen rather than actually using the phone,current reception(the biggest drainer) etc ;d
One fine morning my Note 10.1 2014 battery started showing as 0% and will not 'charge' (i.e., percentage will not rise). As a result, the tablet has to stay plugged-in always to use it (just like a desktop computer). The moment it is unplugged, it shuts down in 1 or 2 seconds. Tried different chargers/cables/flex cables/new battery/uninstalling/reinstalling/warming...& what not. But nothing solves the issue. I came to know that the battery is actually holding/taking in charge which is evident from the fact that the tablet runs without being plugged-in in the recovery/TWRP mode! It seems just that the android OS is not recognizing the charging. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Is the battery really good? The boot menu uses a lot less current than normal boot up operation.
Otherwise you're looking at a possible mobo failure. If it has a charger pcb it could be that.
A Samsung Experience center at a Best Buy might be able to sort it out for you.

It is not the battery, I am pretty sure! As for the other possible causes suggested, it seems Samsung considers the product too 'old' now to look into/offer any service/parts replacement. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply!
I got the same experience. Recently installed LOS14.1 on my Samsung 2 7.0 and battery just drained and inspite charging it overnight never recovered. I think it's really the LOS 14.1. Now I cant even boot it up anymore.

Please do post, if you find a solution!
I strongly doubt that LOS14.1 (lineage-14.1-20210320-UNOFFICIAL-lt03lte) is the culprit as my old P605 still works with the unchanged battery.
Once charged it lasts for quite some days (usage 0.5h/day) without problems.
It's always in flight mode and mostly WLAN is shut off.
It's not that cuz of an OS it's the old battery problem....
Same thing happens to one of my cellhphones.
I charrge it to 100 % while it's turned OFF then tomorrow I turned it on and battery is at 1 %, 0 % and shuts off.
It's just old Li-Ion battery which needs replacement.
After having replaced the battery with a new one with about 50% charge the discharged P605 would only recharge to the level of the original charge. It returned to normal behaviour after charging once with the original 5v/2A charger and the original cable with the second GND contact missing. If the latter did the trick, with most cables u can't tell whether the contact is wired to GND or not.
But in the days of miniUSB, the second GND was sometimes used to put the device in charge or pc connection mode, by swapping cables.
