Hey
Had the device since around August '14 and never had any issues. Recently though I've had some seriously bad issues with charging. I was running Paranoid Android and my device died, once it finally reboot and started charging it took 5 hours to get from 4% to 70% - With completely no usage. I then got home and flashed the latest Resurrection Remix (Just in case the ROM was the issue) and unfortunately my problem has worsened.
Device takes literally 12 hours+ to charge from under 10% to 99% (I haven't seen it yet 100% in 2 days). When it finally does charge it drains quickly from the lightest of usage (WHILST still charging). I've tried 3 different main plugs and sockets, numerous USBs (From the official LG one to Samsung, Huawei, Polaroid, unbranded etc etc) and my problem still remains.
I can't just flash back to stock as it's currently dead and refusing to charge (Takes a lot of messing around just to get it to turn on and charge from 1%).
Any help would be very much appreciated as I've never had this problem on any of my devices, when I checked my battery health last week it was still reading as 'Healthy' so I really don't think the issue lies in the battery or chargers.
Thank you,
Curtis.
When you said you flashed back to stock, have you used the TOT method?
Noted that you mentioned that your battery should be fine, but probably worth to check it with another battery.

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 :-(
Hi All,
I am having troubled battery stat since I last flashed to a custom rom.
The battery will NOT reach the CHARGED status, and hence the battery stat did not reset and go on for days.
This morning I have decided to do a full wipe, but it appear that the same problem persist, at 68% on AC (most of the time stop at a random value) , it says NOT Charging.
I also thought that it could be the battery that was giving the problem, so i tried with a spare battery that i have, same results. Even when i Swap battery the stats stays.
Screenshot of battery stat. with AC power connected after a full wipe
Many people (myself included) have been having similar issues as of late. I too have separate batteries, neither of which is older than 6 months, and both exhibit similar behavior. I'm sure you've looked through and perhaps saw these threads, but I am trying to shed more light on the issue as it is perplexing many.

my troubles started soon after i flashed my first 4.2 rom. it started with only charging to 90%, now my one battery gets to 68% while my other only gets to 65% (30% loss in the past month). I am hoping an explanation comes up soon.
I had the same problem too, but for me the solution was switching between a few roms and calibrating my battery (wiping the battery stats). What ROM are you using?
I am on paranoid android, it was working fine until i did beta 8... and never able to do again..
what rom did you switch around to get it fixed?
Does anyone know any certain solution for this problem ?
After 4.2 upgrade , my battery gets to about 80 % and everyday It decreases
It bothering me and since in my country Google has not any agency for warranty replacement or repair,I'm gonna sell my Gnex if It problem goes on !
It's really strange. I have the same problem also, using either the official Apple 5v @ 1amps charger or a samsung charger with the same specs my phone only goes to 98% 99%, but when I use a generic charger ( I only used a 1-2 times with GNex) that's rated 5.2 volts (scares me) at 800mah it reaches 100%, as it does with the PC also.
Hi,
Few days ago I noticed that my S3 was charging extremely slowly. I had it plugged in for 10 hours and it charged maybe 20%. I needed a full battery so I swapped the one from my battery charger (the official Samsung charger and battery), which was supposed to be at 100% according to the charger. Phone started up, battery was at 100%, and a few hours later it died.
Now, if I plug the phone in to charge it will gain a percent every 10 mins or so and it will only charge to about 54%. Doesn't matter how long I let it charge for, 54%. There was one instance where it charged to 100% but 2 mins after I unplugged the phone, it was back at 54%. The battery charger keeps charging the two batteries to what it says is full (green light on the charger), but when I put it in the phone it appears to only be between 10% and 50%.
Today, I took a battery which the charger said was at 100% and put it in my phone. Started the phone up, it said 2%. Put the same battery in my friends S3 and his phone said 98%. Back into my phone, 18%.
Things I've tried:
Leaving the phone plugged in for an extended period of time
Taking the battery out for 10 mins then putting it back in
Different chargers (some official Samsung, one BlackBerry, one no name)
Charging from USB and AC
Like I said, tried putting the phone in a different S3 and no problem with that. Only has a problem with my phone
Booted into recovery (TWRP) and it will report the same percentage as the OS
Tried to download a few different apps to check the current that was charging the phone but none of them worked for the i747m.
Also used Better Battery Stats to see if anything was draining the battery or had a partial wakelock. Nothing out of the ordinary.
When the problem first started I hadn't updated the software (CM 10.3) but was still planning on doing a restore later tonight.
I've searched xda and google but haven't come across anything that has worked. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Restored back to stock last night using Kies "Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation", but that didn't help. I'm going to assume that is hardware at this point. Unfortunately, I'm out of my warranty. Right before it ended I took the phone in for repairs and they replaced the micro usb port. Could this be causing the issue? I had originally thought this but like I said, if I take the battery out and put it in another phone it sees it as being at 100%.

You said the phone itself will only charge the battery to what your phone reports as 54%, correct? What i didn't see was at that stage did you try it in the other phone? Just trying to determine if the phone is actually charging to 100% or not. If it will only charge a battery half way it is entirely possible the usb port repair wasn't up to par but I find it hard to believe that it would cause such dramatic drain as well. If it does in fact charge the battery fully then your problem is more than likely with the sensor responsible for report battery condition. Whether the sensor is bad or is simply in need of recalibration is the question at that point. Regardless of the actual charge of the battery if the OS is being reported to that it is below tolerance threshold it will assume the battery is dead.

Yes the phone only reports a 54% charge at most. I took a battery from my battery charger which was at 100%, put it in my phone which reported 2%, then immediately into another S3 which reported 98% and stayed that way for 5 or so minutes.
Given enough time (upwards of 10 hrs) charging the battery via the phone and the phone will report 100%. But then within a couple minutes the phone will report 54% and will discharge as normal.

It sounds to me like the sensor responsible for reporting the battery condition to the OS is screwy. It could either be bad and need to be replaced, which would most likely mean a motherboard, or just needs to be calibrated. You can try resetting the battery statistics from CWM recovery if i recall, i wasn't able to find the same option in TWRP if that is what you are using. Its an outside chance but certainly worth installing CWM to give it a try over replacing the MB. Lastly, if you haven't already tried you can try flashing back to stock and see if that corrects the problem. If it is software related this should work, if not you cant pretty sure its hardware.
EDIT: I loaded up the latest CWM and the option for resetting battery stats isn't there so either they removed it or i am just remembering this from some other device or ROM i used in the distant past. In any case i found THIS thread that should assist in attempting to recalibrate the battery reporting.

Ya I tried flashing stock previously and that didn't help. I had considered resetting the battery stats but I read a lot of forum posts that said this didn't have any affect on the battery and was automatically done whenever the battery was fully charged (or completely empty can't remember which one).
I ended up taking it in to the provider but they said I would have to send it out to Samsung and pay the cost since it was out of warranty. They suggested that it would be likely that I would just end up with a new refurb for $150. Instead I took it into a shop nearby and they repaired the motherboard for $90. Got it back earlier today and so far it's working fine.
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
Hi, recently I replaced that battery of my mi9se by myself (so it is possible that I screwed up in some way), afterwards the new battery started to last incredibly less than before, having a very strange behaviour concerning its charge level: let's say the phone is charged to 100%, then in the next hour or so the battery drains normally, let's say to 80%, then it starts freefalling to 60/50% then the phone dies at 40/50%. When I connect the charger, apparently the battery is at a dead 0%, it takes very little time to recharge to 100% and the cycle continues.
Obviously this situation is not sustainable in any way, yesterday evening I was on a call with my gf, my phone died at 70%, I connected it to the charger and powered it up, as soon as it booted it was at 10%, then I disconnected it for flipping the connector and it died again... Another boot and it jumped straight to 43%. I don't know what to do...
The situation wasn't so critical at first, but I also tried to order a third battery, but the results are the same.
Another thing to note is that I also changed the charger pcb, the one onto it is soldered the usb-c connector, because it was flimsy af. I thought the cause of my problems may have been the crappy one, advertised as new but probably used, that I ordered from china. But I also tried to replace it with the old original one with no apparent changes besides the fact that now the charger doesn't remain plugged as an added bonus (that was the initial reason that led me to change it in the first place).
Software notes:
I'm currently running the latest official build of lineageOS, I could try to do a software update, but idk if it could change something...
I have root access with magisk (if some low level root operations are needed I should be able to perform them)
I was running Advanced Charging Controller (https://github.com/VR-25/acc), that I uninstalled yesterday when it came to my mind that it may be messing with the battery readings, but without success.
I should also note that I run several calibration cycles as advertised on many forums: charge to 100%, let it die by battery drain and charge it again to 100% without interruption and without powering it up. No improvements.
Sadly I study offsite and I left the old battery at home, so I have to wait till next friday if some solutions involve using the old battery.
Thanks for saving me and my phone, that, beside his battery, it still works like a charm! Switching to lineage seemed to give him another 2/3 years of life and I really wanted to keep it as long as it works.
Thank you very much for your time!
