I just got the g pad x 10.1 from AT&T yesterday, and charged it to 100%. It sat at 100% for several hours, and didn't drop until I plugged it into my computer. Today, I unplugged it at around noon, and it is now 7:30, and the battery still says it is at 100%. I was at work all day, so I've only used it for a little over half an hour maybe. Does this tablet just have amazing battery life, or is my tablet just got borked bits?

I have a V410 that's approaching 2 years old. It does have great battery life, but what you're describing seems a little excessive. 8000 mAh goes a long way, but I doubt you see a repeat performance of what you're observing now on subsequent charge cycles.
My kids mostly use mine, so typically gaming and some Netflix screen casting. I usually only have to charge it 2 - 3x per week.
Mine does the same thing (about an hour of use at 100%). You probably have the battery saver turned on. When I turn mine off (battery saver) it runs a lot smoother and quicker but the battery drains really fast.

Is there a preferred battery charging regimen for the One X battery?
That is, is it better to, say, always let it drop to 15% and then recharge to 100%, or can/should I charge whenever possible, or in smaller increments?
Also, are there disadvantages to using the phone while charging (as I tend to do quite a lot )?
Thanks!
i normally let mine down to about 10% then just charge it too 100%

Right, but do you know if this is actually the way to go with the Li-Po battery or are you, like me, just winging it?
When i first got my phone i let it run down till it asked for the charger, then left it on charge over night.
I did this for the first 3 or 4 times as i found this yields the longest battery life, since then i charge every 2 days regardless what percentage is left always over night though.
Going to leave it tonight & see if it will go till tomorrow night, its been off charge since 7am on Friday morning so far & is still on 46% a total of 39 hours so far.

You get two days on a charge? Are you a wizard? Although, having just got the phone (and possessing the patience of a 5 year old), I've done a lot of start-stop charging, which I suspect isn't optimal.
I'll try to refrain from trickle charging for a while, see how much difference it makes. Thanks.
Another battery charging thread? Just plug in the damn phone! It will take care of the rest.

I have noticed that the battery does drain in strange amounts.
I have my wifi & gps on constantly, my phone went for 2 days 5 hours & i received a text at which point the phone was at 34% battery.
The phone was put back in stand by & the phone went totally flat in the next 4 hours, this i find strange as over night in stand by it only uses 1 - 2%.
There is obviously a bug in the way the phone reports its battery state, by my reasoning this must be some 10 - 15% lower than what it is reporting.
It does seem to have some difficulties reading the battery level correctly. I've noted a couple of times that it shows a significantly higher charge level (+5-7%) after a reboot. Which is hardly likely to recharge the battery. (Unless I got me one of those perpetuum mobile, in which case, yay!)
Got my rezound battery in a couple days ago and so far its not so good. Gave it a full charge out of the box and then bump charged it. Wiped battery stats and then ran it hard to drain it dead till the phone shut off. Recharged and bumped it again. It will hold at 100% for a good while during use but then drops drastically. Sitting doing nothing it dropped to 60% in about 2 hours. Then listening to music it went into around 20% in 45 minutes. Charged it overnight and today sitting doing nothing it was down to 30% in about 4 hours. Put it back on the charger now its only charging to 88% and stops. Am I doing something wrong here or is my battery a dud.
Update
after the charge to 88% I have used the crap out of my phone tonight and more over the last 4 hours. Surfing on WiFi, music, and running repeated benchmarks. The battery had sit for several hours off charge and dropped from 88 to 52% while sitting unused. Dropped from 52 to 35% over a few hours of music and 4g web browsing while driving my wife around shopping. After I got home and started using it stayed at 35% for over 2 hours of use and has dropped down from 35 to 28% in the last hour or so of continuous use. Seems like its holding a good charge, but just not reporting battery stats correctly.

I have had the Rezound battery for several months and at first it was reporting the battery accurately, a longer usage time, and no complaints. I would go down to about 5% and then I would charge it.
The last few months have been erratic. The battery could show anywhere from 15% to 25% then just shut off completely. This has become very frustrating and unreliable once I get under 30. I downloaded a battery calibration app that has proven to be worthless.
I was on vacation last week and found out something interesting. If I charge the battery to 100% then take it off for about 5 minutes and reboot the phone it will show that it is charged to somewhere between 79% and 84%. I can let it charge again to 100% and get a full charge that time. I tried several times doing battery calibration and it seems to make no difference. I think the default stats file is limiting the charge to the stock battery capacity somehow. I know the stats file gets written on boot and I found a post on here somewhere about HTC releasing an update for their extended battery after its release due to it not charging completely. I wonder if the rezound battery and all other extended batteries that aren't the capacity of the two official ones could perform better if they had modified stats files. Without the reboot and additional charge I am averaging 16 hours roughly per charge. With the additional charge I have gotten over 30 hours on one charge and get at least 23 hours. Last full charge was 27 hours 38 min and still had 16% charge.

Finally broke down and got one yesterday from Big Red. So far, on initial charge (off wall charger), I'm @ 38%, 15 hrs, moderate use. For me, it's an improvement over the stock battery. FWIW, once I popped in the rezound battery, I wiped battery stats in CMW....

My rezound battery was doing great until the first weekend when I had to switch it with the stock thunderbolt one on the fly. Since then they seem to perform, at best, the same - but usually it seems like the rezound one lasts even shorter than the original.
This is the only electronic device I have ever owned that seems to charge slower than it discharges. I mean it takes FOREVER.
Is this a bug, a too weak charger or something else? I expected battery life to not be so great with this amazing screen but didn't expect the very slow charging. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
When I first opened mine it was at 60%. I charged it while setting it up & play with it. It took about 3 hours to 100%. So charging is still faster than discharging but of course it all depends on how you use it. One thing I did notice is that battery drains very little when it's in sleep mode, which is great.
Looks like Samsung charger is slow. I just tried using my wife's Nook HD+ charger which also has 2.0A output and it went from 65% to 100% in 1 hour 20 minutes. I have a 10.5.
My 8.4 took just over a couple of hours to charge from 0% last night. Tablet was switched off though. Haven't tried it powered on yet.

Deleted - duplicate comment.
It seems to be improving a bit now that it has a few full cycles under its belt. Regardless the Samsung charger charges my Note 3 very quickly. Perhaps turning it off completely during recharge is the answer.
Big difference in chargers, been using my LG GPad charger and it's been good about 25% an hour, last night I put it on a cheaper charger in my bedroom, was at 15% and 8 hours later was at 80%. Definitely want to use 2 amp chargers

Well the Samsung charger is 2 amps. I have noticed charging seems much quicker with the table completely off.
Charged my tab up whilst switched on last night. Was at 9% and about 2 and half hours to reach 100%. Seems good to me.

Has anyone else noticed that 100% battery lasts much longer than any other percentage?
For example, last night I had my phone charging while I was watching TV and fell asleep. When I woke up a took my fully charged phone and went to bed while leaving it off the charger. I woke up five and a half hours later with the battery still at 100%. I then used it for 15 minutes of browsing before it finally dropped to 99%. However, if I had went to bed with less than 100% it would have drained probably 1-2% in the same amount of time with no usage at all. It almost seems like 100% is really only like 98% and it can actually be charged to more than 100%. After it drops to 99% the drain rate is pretty consistent.
I actually noticed this when I first got the phone almost a month ago and at first I thought there was a problem with the phone being stuck at 100% because it stayed there much longer than any other percent.
Anyone else see this? It doesn't really bother me since everything below 100% is very consistent. I'm just curious.
Same happens here. I listen to music (bluetooth to truck stereo) for about an hour everyday on the way to work. When I get there it still says 100% every day. Then after about an hour in my pocket doing nothing it magically says 96%. I have been suspecting that the on screen percentage is not registering the drop in power for a short while. But maybe I'm wrong.
I remember the Nexus 6p used to do that, haven't experienced it yet with my pixel though.

I have noticed that as well. Usually, my ~30 minute bus ride consists of my phone draining between 5% to 10%. But when I have the phone start from 100%, it's never drained beyond 5% by the end of it. Must have something to do with the fact that the phone charges slower when it reaches 80% or above (which they only claim to prolong battery health, not battery life). Eh, won't complain about it :fingers-crossed:
If I have had my Note 10+ on charge all night, as soon as I disconnect it from the charger the next morning the battery drops down to 98% within the first few minutes without me using it.
It seems to last ok the rest of the day as I have around 60% left after 4h sot. I know it's not a big deal but my Mate 20 Pro would sit on 100% for the first couple of hours. It's probably just psychological, but it feels like it lasts longer when it doesn't drop so quickly.
I guess my slight OCD isn't helping which is why I always turn off the battery % in the settings so I can't see what it is, but with the Note, even if you turn it off you still see it every time you pull down the notification panel.
The battery calibration is just a bit off. My recommendation would be to ignore it.
A factory reset should reset the battery statistics.
Battery seems pretty good so far.

That's Android 9. I'm guessing you haven't upgraded to Android 10 yet? Wonder how's the battery on that
My battery percentage is similar. By the time I get off the pot in the morning, it reads 98%, that's generally anywhere 2-15 minutes in my estimation.
Mine too, I consider it as normal, the rest of the batt lasts as expected
Same here. But rest of the day Usage and percentages are still pretty good.

to everybody with battery quick drop
this is normal because samsung implemented a new measure of battery security and not let the phone to mantain full charge for a long period of time ,
samsung staff tweeted this 3 months ago
