Running Rooted Android 4.4.2 stock kernel and i seem to be having a issue where it wont even charge when charge it through the wall. Instead it slowly decreases. Its not the battery since I've tried it on another device and it worked fine. Its also not my wall plug since i can charge my tablet just fine. Its also not the device because I've connected it to my PS4 and it charged perfectly fine. I've taken out the battery and turned it on and now it seems to be somewhat stable. When i checked the battery manager it said that Android System is using 30% of the battery life. I believe that the A.S. is supposed to be 20%? Or somewhere around that area. Someone please help asap

A couple of weeks ago I noticed CM6 was taking an unusually long time to charge my battery. Over night charging consisting of 6+ AC charing only yielded 66% charge when the phone itself was in the 40ish% range when I plugged in the night before.
Night after night, nightly after nightly builds the problem persisted. Numerous battery calibrations, to the point I went to Sprint to have my battery replaced. Problem persisted with three different batteries.
At this point I thought my phone was at fault and had it replaced with a new phone. I ran the stock ROM for several days, just to make sure the battery charged correctly and consistently. On the third day, I rooted and tried CM6 once more. No custom kernels, Set CPU or additional software outside the Google Apps. After moderate use, I found myself at 15% at the end of the day.
I proceeded to begin charging my phone around 8pm. 6:00 AM the next morning, I'm ounly at 40%!!!!! WTF!!!!!!! I unplug it, 30 minutes later I'm at work with only 30%. I plug it to my USB port where it remains for three hours and I'm at 80%.
In the evening I plug it to the HTC charger and Have noticed, that without use, the battery drains quicker than the phone could be charged. I've sat and looked at it lose a few percentages while plugged in and not being used.
I is not the charger because I've tried two different ones and I'm unable to reproduce the problem with the Stock ROM.
I'm sadden by the fact that I will have to revert to another ROM or return to stock until these battery issues are sorted. It's a great ROM which I'm sure to return to again.
The Sad One
I have noticed a similar problem but only when charging from a PC usb. It works fine with the wall charger

I read somewhere someone with an issue similar to yours fixed PC USB charging with the latest HTC Sync software. Might want to give it a try. Unfortunate for me, this didn't work :-(
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.

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
About a month ago, I flashed Gingerbread onto my Epic 4G. Did nothing else, been running the usual BatteryLife by CurveFish without any hiccups or fluctuating readings.
However, recently, I don't seem to be getting a full charge. Or, the battery likes to drain. Either that or BatteryLife is not giving proper readouts anymore. For example, I can plug my phone in and let it charge. Its LED will go blue and the widget shows 100%. But, now, sometimes I'll look at the phone again later (while it's still connected with the charging cord or not) and the widget will read something like 82%. And, just now the widget is now showing 78%.
My battery has been fully discharged and recharged many times before for proper calibration. I even ran a battery calibration app. Still, this problem happens. What exactly is going on? I have had the phone tethered to remain charged and never once had a problem with the battery. I do know when I flashed Gingerbread, my battery life has increased dramatically.
Charge till you get the fully charge notification
Then turn off
Then go into click work recovery
Go to advanced
Click reset battery stats or something like that
Put back on charger
This proly happens cause of overheats from the super crap **** gb leaks
Also discharging the battery doesn't help

Then, why does everyone say to get the most out of your battery, you discharge it fully then charge it up to 100% about a couple times to maintain proper battery life and calibration?
There is an issue with some installations of the gb leaks where the battery stops charging at 100% even when it is still plugged in. I had this issue and could not remedy it. Went back to a solid ec05 base and my charging works fine again.
I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3 the other day via USB cable and Samsung's KIES software, and it first everything seemed fine. The phone seemed to respond faster and so I was happy with the update. However, in the past 24 hours or so, I've noticed some major battery / charging issues.
First, last night, I charged the phone up fully while watching TV around 8ish, and by 10 or 11 it was almost dead again (and I hadn't really been doing anything on it during that timeframe). Then, overnight, I had it plugged in to charge, and when I woke this morning it was EXTREMELY hot (the battery I assume) and had a message stating "Charging paused - battery temperature too high" although it seemed to be almost fully charged. I turned it on to airplane mode, left it unplugged, and went back to sleep for a little while longer, and when I woke again it was much cooler and the battery had hardly drained. Now, I just turned it off airplane mode and it's getting slightly hot (although nothing near how hot it was earlier) and the battery seems to be dropping at a much more rapid rate - from 93% to 90% in the past few minutes.
Anyone have any ideas?? Do I maybe need a new battery? Just an FYI - I'm not using the USB charger that came with the phone - I've been using others - could that make a difference?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I expect that it's probably the same problem that I described in my topic. In short, if you disable wifi location reporting you should experience much better battery life, but if you want to use location reporting you'll have to wait for a fix.
So, one setting that I've changed that has helped has been: Settings -> Connections tab -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep -> Always
Now, when I'm at home (or elsewhere that I have a constant, good wi-fi connection), my battery actually lasts most of the day. However, I still notice that when I'm out and about, the battery drains extremely quickly. It seems (although I'm not 100% on this), that it drains faster when connected to 3G than when connected to a 4G network. Still, I never had this issue when I was running Android 4.1.2, so I'm wondering if anyone has any other optimization or configuration change tips that might help me get my battery life under control?? Thanks!!
Install Cyanogenmod and fix the battery problem
I cannot post the youtube video. Here is the link youtube.com/watch?v=MOql56YgEDU
Not sure how to put this.
I recently installed slimkat on my T311, its running just fine until i notice that the tablet slow charge when i leave it overnight. Usually stuck at 75%
If i use the tablet while charging it does charge at 1200mAh and keep charging until 100%
How to fix this, i believe its kernel related and it was fine on stock
EDIT: forgot to mention, it was fine too when i use LineageOS
Nvm its the ROM which have issue
