Hi,
I have encountered a peculiar phone charging issue with my samsung grand 2. This is a year and half old phone.
The problem is
If the battery completely drains out and i plugin the charger lets say after an hour , it does not charge. Initially i thought it was a battery problem. Even after replacing the battery, i am facing the same issue.
Interestingly, if i use a separate battery charger and charge battery for a 2-3 min, after this i am able to charge the phone with the phone charger.
I showed it to 2-3 technician, some said it was short in board and they resolved it.But i still face the issue.:crying:
Any one , any leads?????
Regards
Manish

I had this problem: my phone (Arc S) died saying it had low battery (even though I had checked it just a minute ago with 25% still left).
I tried to charge it but nothing happened for 30 minutes.
I knew that taking out the battery and reinserting it after a while usually fixes this but this time it did't help. The phone could not be started and it wouldn't charge either.
Solution: Borrow a friends battery (if he/she has the same phone ) or buy a cheap one of the Internet (there are batteries for about 4 dollars).
Put the new battery in your phone and start it. Turn it off and quickly put the "dead" battery in again and insert the charging cable and it will charge and function as before!
My humble guess is that the charged battery leaves some juice in the phones circuits that stays there for a while and can help a "dead battery" charge again.
I know your problem : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312398
No that's a workaround/patch to 0% battery issue caused by downgrading firmware from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2.
I've never downgraded! This problem is rather from the phones difficulties sensing the batteries power level correctly.
Thanks anyway!
I’m having battery charging problems with my HTC One XT, which seems to be a common problem for the HTC One X. The main problem is the phone seems to have trouble getting fully charged to 100% and hovers around the 75% mark.
For example, I charged my phone (while on) overnight (over 11hrs+) when the battery status was at 20%. When I checked my phone in the morning, the battery status was near 0%. So I disconnected the charger and the phone turned off. I turned on the phone and the battery status was 75%. Also when I leave the phone charging while it’s on, it’s seems to be discharging rather than charging and the battery status seems to get lower.
After some searching around the forums etc, here’s what I tried:
1. Disable Fast Boot via power settings
2. Set processor limit to at most 4.
3. Manual screen brightness
4. All Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections are off.
5. Restarted the phone a few times.
My phone is rooted with X-Revolution ROM and is brand new and is only a few days old. What could be the problem?
So fellow members, please help me solve this annoying issue.
So my phone kept discharging when I kept trying to charge it with the supplied charger. It literally went down to 0% and the phone was empty.
So I decided to use my old charger from my Incredible S and my phone is back to 100% now after a few hrs of charging.
Seems to be working fine for now. Could be an faulty charger I assume.
I have a battery / charging problem on my Gnex. The problem is that the battery won’t charge more then 60 %, drains quick and then the phone shuts down at 0 % ( in about 2-3hrs of use) and wont restart until recharged.
At first, I tought it was the battery so I bought one OEM on ebay. It did the same thing so I returned it and went to Telus store to buy an OEM.
Same thing happened with the new OEM. I then bought an external wall battery charger and charged the 2 batteries I have. When I put the first one back in the phone it said 12%?
I tried the second one which is the new OEM and same thing, its showing 12%.
I did a little test, I had 4.2.2 so I unlocked the phone and rooted (no more warranty anyway) I flashed back the ROM to ICS. No change.
So what I did next is I used the phone until it shut down at 0% and restarted it on the bootloader screen and left it on, on the bootlooader screen.
Well the phone screen stayed on for more then 3 hours, so I know the battery is good because there is no way that a 0% battery could power the screen for 3 hours.
So after it shut down from the bootloader screen, I charged it again, in the phone, and it went right back to 60%, I did try to wipe batt stats from recovery mode and battery calibration apps but no luck.
Is there a way to disable the auto shut down on the phone? The battery meter if definitely showing wrong charge stats. Is the battery controller part of the USB board or the motherboard?
The only thing I did not try yet is a custom ROM and Kernel.
Any ideas?
Sounds like a hardware failure... It's obviously not the batteries

I found where the Power Management with Switch Mode Charger chip is, on the motherboard! I wonder if there is some ways to access and modify the values of this.

For what it's worth, the same thing is happening to me. Charges to 64%, and it acts like it's only got a 64% charge - runs out fast. And I also tried a replacement OEM battery with no difference. I'm not completely convinced this is a hardware problem - though I guess it could be. I'm still stock Gnex (with the 4.3 upgrade - and come to think of it, this started some time after that upgrade). I was hoping it was some kind of kernel problem that i could fix by switching to CM. Anybody have any luck with that?
The same thing is happening to my phone, although I'm lucky enough to have it charge to 73%. Only realized the problem when I bought a new OEM battery and it stopped charging at the same 73%. I have a friend who has the exact same phone and will give her both my batteries to charge and see the results (with her phone then once batteries are reinstalled in my phone).
Outside of replacing the motherboard, would anyone know if there could possibly be a software fix? Has this happened to any other phone? If so does anyone know the results?
Thanks,
Stefan
My gt s6312 has charging issue. It never charge over 67-69% in my phone. I checked the battery in other phone its ok.....please help.....

Sounds like a hardware failure in the phones' charging circuit. Since:
- no software change (ROM or Kernel) fixes it
- no battery change fixes it
Then it's obviously the charging circuit in the phone. Time to get a new phone!
Well I've confirmed for myself that it is my phone charging circuit that's giving me bad info on my battery charge. I installed both my batteries in a friends Gnex and both gave me 100% charge reading on my friends phone. I then re-installed both batteries in my phone and both came back with identical 13% charge reading. So to me this is obviously not a battery issue.
Since my previous post in July my phone has gotten progressively worst. So I have now come to the point where I either have to replace the phone's charging circuit or replace the phone all together. I would much rather do the first as any replacement phone via my carrier would require me to pay more monthly on my contract.
So would anyone know with certainty where the charging circuit is located in the Gnex? Is it on the main logic board or the USB charging board?
Thanks
My phone doesn't charges above 70+,if i remove the battery and reinsert it it shows 92% after that it charges normally till 100%,again the same thing is continued in next session of charging. ..I tried calibrating the battery by removing the battery and hold the power on button for 60+ seconds and also tried the battery calibrating app..no use at ol...one thing is, if a use the mobile continuously it charges very slowly after 70+,if its not used again it stops charging but indigates as charging,till 70% charging is smooth and fast...pls help me to troubleshoot this thing plzzzz... :crying:
sounds like you might need a new battery
Yes, you need a new one.
Most batteries from more than a year ago starting to have this problem after updating to 6.0.1
The update stress the battery too much and if your battery is more than a year old, will likely be damaged after that stress.
Yes, samsung batteries are less than cr*p.
My Samsung Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705) is 4 years old. Since the battery only lasted 2h 30m, I went to Samsung to change the battery.
But they refused to do so as they said, their diagnostic tools told them that the battery was fine, but the Motherboard needs to be changed. I believe there are 'some' truth to that as the Tab did had flickering, random booting happening a year ago (but did not occur anymore for some reason). But Mobo replacement is expensive, with a short warranty. Not worth it.
So I went to change the battery at another shop. The battery now lasts for 6 hours on Youtube (nonstop). Not that satisfied, but at least performs better (and also I can't remember how the original battery performs 4 years ago).
Problem:
1) When charging to 80% (Switched ON), the meter went from 81% to 100% in less than 5 minutes @[email protected] But when I unplugged and use it, the tab discharged at a normal rate (no sudden jump-drain).
2)Charging when the tab is off, it charged at a normal speed from 0% - 66. Then it gets slow as if it was 'trickling' and get stuck at 69%. Wait long enough and it will jump to 100% all of the sudden. Again, when using it, the discharged rate was normal.
So, does this mean the battery is faulty or just that the Motherboard is about to 'die' on me?
I would get the shop that did the replacement to fit another battery as there is definitely something wrong.

battery is at fault if it gets old enough , the flickering and rebooting is caused by a loose battery connector on the motherboard. soldering and strengthening it fixed the problem for most people i found posted on their forums ,
i personally haven't tried it yet as i just replaced my battery after the original one died this 2021, replacement battery is 6 months in and the problem i'm having with the flickering is coming back.
