Hello guys
I had my Note II (N7100) for over a year now. The battery was fantastic till like last week. I used to go from this ROM to that ROM a lot, but always went back to my rooted stock (4.1.2) and I went to 4.3 once and after realizing that it is draining my battery, I recovered.
Last week I installed DN4 and also changed my kernel and bootloader, it booted but the battery had issues. I realized that the battery isn't calibrated. So I googled and found that using *#0228# would help to calibrate the battery.
I did that but I decided I want my good old rom back. So after recovering, I re did the *#0228# again.
Then I realized the battery life has dropped to 4 hours with my normal usage (it was about a day before) and that crazy things happen on about 20% or less. Like the phone asks for sim card, or that it would turn it self off at 18% etc. This happened once at 60% as well.
And then it will stay off unless I charge it for a few seconds while off and then boot it up.
I have also realized, when charging off, it shows an empty battery, while my recovery or android itself shows 90+%.
I tried to change my kernel, no luck and I'm back to the back up before going to dn4 in first place.
Any ideas what I should do?
So I changed the batteries, and now I have my old life time back.
But still it shows an empty battery whenever I charge while the phone is off. Any ideas guys?

So i'm currently running CM7 on my incredible. I have been running it for a little over a month with no battery problems. Just recently the battery has been draining crazy fast. I'm saying losing 1% every minute. At first I thought it was my battery so I took the battery from my wife's Dinc to try her's as she has absolutely no battery problems at all. It drained the battery 8% in a matter of 5 minutes!!!
I left my phone on and had it charging all night and in the morning it was still at only 78% charged.
Is there a fix to this? Ideas?
Thanks for the help!
I'm surprised that it wouldn't fully charge over night! Seems like it only takes an hour or two to fully charge my phone (stock battery, cm7, incredikernel). I'd recommend a different kernel that has fast charge at least, might also help your battery life too. Chad's incredikernel or invisiblek are my favorites, both charge very quickly.

Charge your phone until it won't anymore while turned on. Then turn it off and keep charging until the light goes green. Then unplug it, and plug it back in until it goes green again. Then boot into recovery and go to Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats. Reboot your phone and let the battery drain to 0% (don't plug it in at all until it's at 0%, it's relearning all the charge points and whatnot). Then plug it in and charge it all the way up again.
I hope this solves your problem!
What's your CPU utilization look like? If something is pegging your processor, the battery will run down pretty fast.

that's really weird. I got great BL on cm7. And I get comparable with a sense 2.1/3.0 rom which makes me very happy. I have a 1500mah battery, but I just got it recently and I got great BL with stock. But it's great because it came with 2 bats and a bat charger, so I just keep one on the charger and if I run low for whatever reason, I just swap the battery. And unlike a lot of battery chargers, when it gets full it doesn't start to drain, it keeps it at 100%.

I WAS getting great battery life. all of a sudden the phone had shut off one day and wouldn't go back on unless I took the battery out and put it back in. Since then the battery life has been just crap. I tried resetting the battery points and nothing happened. I think I'm just going to go back to 2.2. I never had any issues with cm7 up until now but something is completely ****ed and I can't do anything to repair it.
ugh.
Check what apps are consuming most of your CPU. If you nothing stands out there it may be worth buying System Panel ($3) for the monitoring capability. There are probably free apps that do the same thing, but I can only recommend what I've tried. Also, if you just recently flashed an over/underclocked kernel or just installed SetCPU, you may be running into Issue 9733, which has a known workaround. If you want any more detailed assistance, you'll have to post more details. Can you post an adb bugreport?
I'm not sure what happened but I decided to just flash a different ROM. I just flashed Kingdom Stock GingerSense 3.0. Works great! I installed all my programs on it just fine and I just tried installing the google apps zip (it has navigation, places, ect) and now I'm getting an error message. UGH! WHY! It didn't install the apps from the zip file and now for a few programs that I had already installed they are no longer there and when I try to install from the market place I get a "Missing Shared Library" error message. I'm trying to install the TD Bank app and Tweetdeck as well as Craigslist and get the errors. I'm not having any problems with anything else.
problem solved!
Hi Everyone,
Long lost member here, lol. Experimented lots with my Galaxy S4G, and now odin is my best friend.
Anyhow onto my issue with my S3 which is on Telus, not that makes a difference in this case.
Everything is stock, other than imbeded root. Rooted since the day i bought it lol.
So up until a few days ago, my phone worked just fine. However recently noticed that in the morning after it says "fully charged" 100% with a green light on, I unplugged it and after a few min it drops to 62% and drains normaly from there.
So what I did is next day charged it till a 100%, unplugged it, (at midnight or 1ish) than dropped to 62% and plugged it back in, charged to a 100 again and this time it stayed ON normaly after that.
Now I always have to charge it twice every night.
Is there a way to reset the battery memory??
I've tried the battery pull, resetting multiple times, shutting down........
When a tinkered with custom roms on my S1 I always wiped "dalvic cache" I believe for this reason.
Is there anything I can do?
Or has anyone else had this problem?
How old is the phone/battery? Sounds like the cells might be dying? Calibrating your battery, wiping battery stats in recovery, etc. Does absolutely nothing. Might be time to invest in a new OEM battery and see if that helps. They're pretty cheap on amazon...
THnaks for the suggestion
Any thoughts on a High Capacity battery? Ebay item# 290920383606

OR you still rather reccoment an OEM battery.....?
Hey guys, so for the past few weeks my G3 has been rebooting randomly, at first it was just once or twice a day. But now it's at the point that I can't use my phone anymore, it's CONSTANTLY rebooting. People suggested a battery issue, so I've changed my battery but the issue came back a week later. These reboots started around the time I flashed a thermal mod provided on XDA forums but I've flashed back to stock countless times, I've performed hard resets, factory resets and changing my charger but nothing seems to work.
I've also noticed a new issue today, my phone will show 54% battery life, then suddenly die. When I turn it back on it'll show 3%. If I charge it, it'll go from 3% to 100% in less than an hour which is quite impossible. But after a reboot, the battery will show something around 5-10% again. I really have no clue what todo or what the issue can be. Please help!
I'm currentled running Android 4.0.4 stock, non-rooted and barely any apps or bloatware (Just whatsapp, messenger and snapchat)
I have had the same problem as yours, i got a new battery and all good since. Maby you got a new faulty battery. Is it oem?
Exactly the same issue but I've tried a new battery yet
I ve got same problem then i replaced battery and since then it happened like 3 times (i was pretty mad!) but since then it works great...

Try caliberating your battery. And try changing your battery.
Battery changed and looks a lot better
My Moto G5 lately is having problems with the battery, one of the problems that has been bothering me lately is that the battery is spent alone, when I have suspended my cell phone now in 1 hour it spends up to 20% battery, while always It was 1-3%, in 6 hours of 100% without use I ran out of battery, it was always that I lasted at least 2 days without using it.
Another annoying problem is that it is difficult to charge it, rarely the battery goes up when I connect it to the charger (I use the charger in the box, the battery is not swollen and I have not used a third party battery, I have not taken my cell phone to a technician)
Someone help me? all this started happening to me 1 week ago
If you have never flashed a custom rom do a factory reset
If you have flashed a custom rom then flash stock rom firmware via fastboot and test
If it's still an issue after being on a totally fresh stock rom replace the battery
Obviously you could use apps to see what is draining the battery but the chances are it won't really be much help
Ok guys,yeah it's 5 years old already.Few days ago I noticed then when I charge it to 95-100% and leave the tablet turned off,when I turn it on battery looses like 10 % over a day and so on,so battery is draining when the tablet is turned off.
What can I do,I mean I can take it to a friend of mine who is pc technician but what can he do?
Possible hardware failure or battery issue?
If the battery has lost much capacity it will still charge up to 100%, but discharge much quicker.
If screen-on time is still okay, some peripheral component may not switch off when powering down. Some custom rom had messed up an old phone of mine and even after flashing stock rom the battery drained by 50%/day after switching the phone off. I even ordered a new battery to no avail.
If the Note hangs up or freezes during power off, you'd need a hard reset to power it on again and the battery would be completely drained in less than a day.
Self-discharge on my Note is extremely low, about the same as if i would store the battery separately or with a hardware power switch.
Screen on time is terrible like 2h or so...which means battery is bad,right?
Bad battery or bad configuration. The latter if the Note is drawing more than 1000mA when idle with screen on.
My battery still lasts about 7 hours (screen-on) and is the original from 2k13.
Battery lasts for like 6 h,and it's draning power when is switched off...I'm not sure how much but maybe like 5 % per day...
And I also noticed time and date is fuc..d up...
Can this be resolved?
So now even new battery can not last more then 4 hours,today tablet turned off at 30 % battery,I got flashing blinks and it turned off.
When I charge tablet it doesn't charge like in the start for 8-9 hours,usually 4,5 at max and when I check on status I see 70 % and then in a second 100 %.So smth is pretty messed up..
Seems to me it's for garbage only...
The Android Coulometer could be ****ed up. Although that should be more of a database than a driver, you could repair it by flashing the Coulometer driver via ADB. Only for stock rom. And there was only a guide for my old Huawei Mediapad on how to perform this.
A complete factory recovery in Download Mode will have the same effect. Or it may just slowly get better with time again, as it did with said Mediapad.
I once experienced real drain in soft-off state of an old phone, about 50%/day. A new battery didn't help. And the phone did really switch off, otherwise you'd have had to press power for 10s instead of one, for a cold boot. And with even higher drain.
A custom rom may have flashed a wrong firmware into a peripheral chip's flash. In case of said phone i suspected the wifi/BT combo chip, which retained a custom rom's bug even after flashing stock rom in D/L mode.
I was told that this is hardware issue.
What is factory recovery and what will it do,and how do I do it?
2.I can't update to android 5.0 at all.
When I click update manually get msg: you have recent update smth like that...
