Running the latest OS update. Never had this issue before...... If you look at the screenshot it seems to be charging and awake while the battery is draining... The phone was sleeping at least 90% of the drain time..... An ideas ? Thanks
Battery was not being charged at the time.
No this is not battery failing, this is charging is not happening properly.. Many had this issue, including me..
Sometimes it shows charging, led will also blinks but reality is it is not charging, solution just unplug and replug.. Still not charging, then restart phone and try, if so didn't charging use some other adaptor or use some other plug point,..
BTW Use Aida64 app and see battery charging rate, then you can see where is the problem is..
Problem is it wasn't being charged.... it was at 86% last I checked... When I checked again it was dead 0%.... That's the strange part of this
what is discharging rate?

Rate at which the charge in battery is used, if you plug the charger it should show charging rate, if it didn't unplug and replug

Hi. I just have a question. My battery is draining 1% every 3-5 minutes when in use. Is this normal for this type of phone? Thank you for your responses

Yes, with this you will get around 5hrs screen on time, so no problem.. But once the 5.1 release, it may improve the battery usage i think
5.1 official update when asus will roll out?

I had battery drain with the .90 update. As generic as this may sound, clear your cache from recovery. This fixed the battery drain for .90 for me. Good luck.
Thanks for the replies. I'll have to check the battery drain... I will also clear the cache.... After I charged it fully it seems fine now.... I'm thinking it might be due to the latest update though. This phone has been in use since May and never had this issue before.
I think I m near to find solution of battery drain issue
I m in 2.20.40.88 stock version
using 'doze' app and found that from 2 am to 9 am (sleeping time) battery drained only 2/3 %, see the battery graph u will understand. my device is now pure stock (bootloader unlocked) + no root
u will find the doze app in play store and it's free.plz try and share ur result.in doze I gave permission to 'whatsapp/imo' for always connection.

Hi guys!
I've bought Arc about month ago and I've noticed a problem with battery percentage, it has oscillations. For example, battery is on 25% and suddenly drops to 2 or 3% and for a while battery is on 18%, or battery is on 84%, suddenly drops to 74% and soon comes back on 85%. I've restarted the phone, repaired software but the problem is still here.
Battery life is very good, average life is 36-48 hours, but there is a problem with oscillation. Can anyone tell me what should I do?
Software version is 2.3.3.
Let me search that for you http://www.google.com/cse?q=Battery...sc.tab=0&gsc.q=Battery problem Arc&gsc.page=1
Hmmm... Why didn't I think of that?
My problem isn't 0% battery or short battery life. Read my post again and than answer me.

Best way to fix it is battery calibrate....but it needs root.
And when it drops and raise 2-3% its quite normal. My Neo doing thiskind drop raise trick when I make reboot and for me its not problem

Hi Sidious
It sounds like your battery are fluctuating more than normal, a drop of 20% is definitely not normal unless you are doing allot of booting and flashing at the same time.
One cause of the smaller oscillations could be that battery is not read as often when in deepsleep to save battery life. It might have some battery level estimations when you wake up the phone that are off by a few % when the next battery reading occur. Might also be temperature changes that also change the capacity slightly.
@ ShyamSasi
Arc isn't rooted.

I'm not sure what did you mean by saying that I'm doing allot of flashing and booting at the same time?

Battery sensing module automatically calibrates when it discharge from 100% to 2% or lower. So, let it discharge a few times to 2%, and try to do a light use (no games, etc) doing this, to help fuel gauge module to detect internal battery impedance and correct the % marking.

Hi Sidious
If you had the bootloader unlocked and was flashing new kernels or firmwares. I have noticed that the phone when in "fastboot" mode do not charge but consumes allot of battery, it usually shows as a sharp drop when the phone are booted up. "fastboot" can be used to flash new kernels on the phone, but I do not think this is the problem in your case when you are running the SE provided firmware only.
Sorry repost..

Neither do i.
But once you select the test, the % will stay there for a long time before dropping again.
Tried the code and pressed quick start and my battery lost charge from 48% to 25%. Weird...
It that for battery recalibration? Or just a code to suck the battery.

Its there for recalibration of the battery.
After you flash a new kernel, you should at least use and then load your battery 5 days. Within this time you may use the code as follows.
Charge up to 100%, then use the code and turn of the device and again charge the phone untill its full. Turn it on and use it.
After 4 or 5 days you will recognice, that these drops of the load will not be as big as before, or even been dismissed.
Have fun!

I'm not fully convinced that's the proper procedure.
Is there any official documentation on what the quick star command does?
I ask this because lately (I have the galaxy s4 from about 2 months now) the phone dies with battery at about 20% to 30%.
If I hit quick start, it shows 5% but after a reboot it showed 23%.
But soon after that it powered off.
It's like 22% is 0%, and it seems I can't reset it.
Update
I now clicked the quickstart button while keeping the flash led ON with a flashlight program. That seems to have worked because the battery gauge now says 11%.
We'll see how it goes.
Second Update
Nothing. I think the battery is broken.
It dies at about 20%-30% and when the phone restarts, plugged in, it says it's 20%.

That's because "quick start" just LOADS the battery by executing a cpu heavy task. Then it resamples the battery voltage.
Charge the battery (possibly with a slow charge on a 1A or 500mA ac adapter) then disconnect the adapter, when the battery drops off 100%, hist quick start again and charge again.
Eventually it will stabilize. If it will not probably your battery is getting bad.

Hello everyone,
I observed a strange behavior of my arc s , when the phone reaches 100% charge and later when i unplug it my phone spends almost 20 minutes at this point and after some time it starts to discharge ie. it comes down by 1%.
But if i use it hear after it discharges rapidly.
I find this behavior very odd !
Can anyone explain me this behavior ???
Thank you in advance.

Check battery use
Check battery use to see what is consuming the battery
Maybe WIFI and sleep policy,Bluetooth,Network type WCDMA/GSM ,GPS and accounts sync ?
Observe the diagram or the slope in the battery use to see is your battery draining fast or is it normal,also what rom and kernel are you using
Isn't that the normal behaviour of a battery coming from a smartphone? .-. Mine's like.. 20 minutes on 100% before starting going down, and it doesn't affect my overall battery life at all..

I have observed all of that.
Everything is fine, as the display uses the battery predominantly.
My guess is that is a sign for use to change the battery.
And also i see spikes in chart instead of going down the charge goes up and down.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
how old is the battery?
how old is the battery ?if the spike goes up that means it is connected to USB and the phone is charging .attached is my battery usage 7 % in 11 hours the slope is continuously going down as it's been unplugged and running on battery only ,phone and battery are a year and half old
The "spikes" you refer to are because your battery isnt well calibrated...
You can charge it fully, use it and when its around 5% charge it again to full. And if you delete the battery stats your battery must sette down over some day or two.
But for a better response you need to upload a picture of your battery stats.
My battery sometimes stays in 100% some minutes, some other times is goes down to 99 very quicky, but its normal for me cause it usually lengths for two days + with normal use

Yes i totally agree the oly time the graph should go up is when its plugged in and not wen unplugged.
But i sometimes see the spikes when unplugged.

Hi, I had my galaxy S3 from Rogers for almost 1 year and the battery drains like crazy!! When I first got the phone the battery life was ok. It lasted 1 full day (with the settings auto brightness, wifi usually on [when not in wifi area, using LTE], vibrate only, power saving on and snyc on. I turned off gps, bluetooth, location services, and motion). About 6 months ago I dropped the phone in water :S and I got it repaired. The phone battery life was still about 1 full day (with the same setting as above except when I'm not in a wifi area I use 4G to save battery life). After that every month the battery life seems to get worse from 1 full day to about half a day :S. After doing alittle research (this was around May/June) I found out Facebook was killing my battery so I stop using it on my phone then my battery got better (to about 3/4 of a day). But after that in July and August the battery life got really really bad, it will probably only last 5-6hrs. I honestly don't know what is wrong with it now. Is the water damage the problem with my battery drainage?
I'm running 4.1.2, never rooted and I'm running Nova launcher too.

Is it the original charger that came with the phone? And are u charging it from the wall or pc??
Ya I am using the original charger and original cable.. using ac supply, with plugged in wall...
The thing is if I reset my device ( which I have done 2-3 times) and after that, watching video/playing games/ internet surfing etc. With the charger plugged in, works fine... I mean it charges my phone battery fine. Battery is new. Checked its condition with battery monitor pro... it states its good.
But after a couple of months after resetting, I face the problem of slow charging, with my phone in use while plugged in... did a lot of search but didnt help out. Cleared dalvik and other cache.... nothing seems to be working.

I've been experiencing huge battery drops (from 10% up to 20%) after I reboot my phone. Is this a KitKat issue or is it my battery?
In the morning from 99% (after checking a few messages in the morning), I rebooted and I dropped 11% to 88%.
I think It may have been my battery giving me the huge drops. I don't seem to have this issue any more after buying a new one. :good:

Hmmm that's strange.
I've noticed it usually drops more when I leave my headphones in.
full loaded ACE 2.
reboot cost u 5%
first 10 % gone in a few minutes for heavy users and in a few hours when deepsleep !!
what i wanna say.
the first 10 % gone in a few.
after that normal drain.
I often get this, although not as bad. I usually lose 2-5% on a reboot, sometimes up to 10%. The other week I charged it to 100% when it was off, turned it on and had 92%.
so is this actually a problem or is it normal for everyone?. Mine looses 5-8% in the first couple of minutes after I unplug the charger..

ok then, thanks...I just thought that this didn;t happen when I was on GB, but it doesn;t matter anyway..
If I reboot once, I will lose between 5 - 10% battery. However, if I reboot straight after the first reboot, I will lose between 0 - 2% battery. I've never really understood this.

Battery Charging Issue
Is this normal?
When I charge my battery whether it be from mains or USB computer it charges ok, but as soon as it gets to 100% it still says charging for a little time and doesn't report the unplug charger message right away.
With the Jellybean 4.1.2 system I don't get the alert tone when the battery reaches FULL, therefore I have a feeling that when it still says charging even though it's showing 100% that it's actually decreasing power at that point, any help please?
I have tried other batteries, and one in particular goes from 90% right up to 100% and seems to miss that last 10 percent, so I don't use that one now.
I have the most current firmware installed.

when it says 100%, you still have to wait for a few minutes before it displays the green "full" icon in the upper left corner and asks you to disconnect the charger.
However, the first 5-8% always drains REALLY fast and not proportionally to the rest of the battery drain...
I think It may have been my battery giving me the huge drops. I don't seem to have this issue any more after buying a new one.

what about the initial drain? does the first 10% still drop fast or has this changed too with the new battery?
I just wish that JellyBean 4.1.2 would give an alert sound when the battery has reached it's full limit like Gingerbread used to do.
Who would be the best place to ask them to do this on their next update?
But I think that it does..a very short one indeed, but it does, along with the screen lighting up briefly..
