Hi Guys,
My issue is a little bit weird. My AT&T Note 4 has a battery problem relating to charging. This issue is consistent. One day I charge my phone it charges to 100% without any issue. The battery life is good for 2-3 years old battery 2-4 hours on screen time depending on usage. But the very next day when I try to charge my phone the battery percentage won't go beyond 85%-89% and I have to do a battery pull and it immediately shows 99%-100% and I can disconnect my charger.
I am not complaining about or worried about battery life I know it sucks but I want to know a solution so I don't have to battery pull every other day just to reach 100%.
Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.
Not a weird issue, your battery is going bad. Get a quality replacement.
So this is happening to me too.. I just got this phone over the holidays from ebay. Used/mint condition, no OLED burn or anything.. perfect condtion..except for the battery.. won't charge past 82% I've ordered a new one. But still looking to make sure since I've read a lot on the Internet about LL and MM causing battery drain problems...so..
So these battery stats indicative of an old battery?

I just received this in the mail yesterday, and I think that it's worth $30. The battery definitely lasts longer. I'm only on my first day of use, but have had the phone on with normal use and bluetooth on all day (9+ hours so far) and I'm at 60%. Had I remembered to turn off bluetooth this morning, it would have been closer to 70% left since the bt accounted for 21% of total battery usage.
Also worth noting... The wall charger seems to properly charge the battery. I drained my original 1500mah EVO battery down to 7% and then placed it in the charger. It charged for approximately 6 hours. Normally, when charging it from empty in the phone, it charged much faster. I'm not a battery expert, and I also could be mistaken, but I get the impression (from reading threads and using the phone and previously owning an iphone) that the HTC software is not properly charging the battery and that is contributing to the miserable battery life right out of the box. Obviously changing setting in the phone software help quite a bit, but I feel like this charger and battery setup help significantly. I'm going to throw the fully charged original battery in tomorrow, and see what kind of performance I get out of it. I'm betting it will be much improved.
Apparently I can't post links on my thread because I am a new user. Just search ebay for chichitec and check out there store. I'm not affiliated with these people in any way. I just happen to be pleased with their product and figured I should share this for any other users that are frustrated with battery life on their EVO.
I just got it (though from another seller).
Figured it was worth the $20 to see if a different battery can help my situation.
I'm at 24 hours up time 3 hours of awake time and still have 26% left. Plus I've got two fully charged spares. Battery problem solved.
Did you actually get red batteries?
They're not exactly the same with the HTC logo, but they are red.
What are the eBay item numbers you guys used?
This is from the same seller for one battery and the charger. He basically charges $10 for each item.

And I am convinced that the poor EVO battery life (stock) has to do with using the phone to charge the battery. I charged the original HTC battery with the included charger and I am at exactly 40% battery remaining with 24:37 up time and 3:05 awake time.
So much better than before.
That's why people are using the method from the forum where they charge their battery 10 times to "condition" it. That definitely helped me, but using this external charger is even better.

Are all the people who brag about 24-31 hours battery time sitting with like 3 hours of actual up time for that period? if so no wonder i dont last any where near that i am usually done at 12 hours with about 6 hours up time.
I consider 3 hours over 24 hours to be very light usage just wondering if that is the reason why no matter what i do i ant get any where close to some of these peoples times.
I wasn't trying to brag. I was just happy to finally get what I consider to be a great improvement over my original battery life. I wish I had more time to use my phone that many hours in the day. Seeing that I don't, this setup works good for me. I know this isn't amazing battery life given my light usage, but so much better than stock out of the box. I haven't rooted yet, and I'm not very conservative with settings that drain the battery.
And to answer your question, yes, that's why your times are shorter, but it seems like you should be getting more. If I have a day where I get more up time, I'll post the numbers.
Hey guys, hopefully someone can help.
I have a Nexus with severe charging, overheating and battery drain issues. It's on stock jellybean, factory reset, no extra apps installed, and the battery will discharge in about 1 hour by just sitting idle. It takes maybe 2 days to actually charge to 80%. I'm about to replace the charging port to see if that will help.
However, it's also getting extremely hot. Not just mildly warm. And this is when it's just sitting there idle. Not only that, it's staying hot when the phone is off and not even charging. The only time it stops is when the battery fully discharges in about 2 hours... while the phone is still off.
Anyone experience this?
I have a grey market Galaxy Nexus which means I can't send it in for US repairs.

sounds like its time to replace the battery. is the battery leaking, discolored, warped, or "pregnant"?

Yes, I'm also saying it's the time for a battery replacement. They are fairly cheap, so you can fix it without spending too much money.

Nope, battery looks brand new, but I'll definitely order a new battery. Hopefully the ones on eBay are really OEM.
My battery gets to 122f while charging and wifi tether. I try to keep it near a fan and it helps some. But I don't have any battery drain issues. You probably just need a new battery.

New charging port, new battery and phone still charges extremely slow and drains real fast. About 20% in 40 minutes. Takes around 30 minutes to charge 2%.
Then when I take the battery out and put it back in, the phone thinks the battery is empty (I took it out with 30% charge left). Not sure what to do at this point since the only thing left to do is replace the mainboard which will probably cost more than it's worth.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Some screen shots
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
After threatening to throw this phone in the ocean, it started working normally.
Trying to figure out what was wrong with it, opened it up again, put back in the old charging port (which had a higher revision number than the one I bought).
I waited 1.5 days for the phone to charge to 96%. Drained it to about 20% in less than 2hrs. Stuck it into the charger again but the battery was still draining. All the way down to 7% where it seemingly stayed stuck for a day. Then I guess it shut itself off.
Went to check on the phone randomly and saw on the power-off screen the battery had charged to 100% which never has happened and especially not in less than a day.
Turned it back on, started using it and battery drains sort of normally now. Overheating has also disappeared completely and now it also charges normally.
So in summary, I have no idea if this problem is going to resurface and I really didn't do anything to fix it. Though I would really like to know what happened to have it malfunction like this for almost a month.
Got a question for anyone who's knowledgeable.
So I had problems keeping up with conditioning and charging the zero lemon battery (it takes really long to charge it) and I stopped using it for about two months already.
Last night when I tried to charge the battery my phone's back and menu buttons light up and boot logo appears. After that it says the battery is at 100%
Using since last night and the battery hasn't drained at all. I was wondering if it could just be calibration errors or it really lasts this long lol. Can anyone give their opinion?
I'd appreciate all the opinion I can get while I try to drain the battery to at least 99% hahaha.
Basically as title reads. I've been having extreme battery drain. I thought it might have been my battery that was shot, so I bought a new one, as well as a charger. I even had a massive battery (don't know the mAh off the top of my head, and it isn't with me- but it was so large that it came with its own new backing) that also seemed to drain quickly. It seems the original battery would last 2-3 hours with barely any usage (a text or two; checking the time) and with regular usage (googling, reddit, texts) would be an hour. The large battery lasted 3-4 with barely any usage and 1-3 with usage. WiFi is off as well as GPS.. Only apps (besides what regularly runs) running are Handcent, Chrome, clock. That's all.
It also seems to discharge when charging and using my phone at the same time, so I have to leave it alone completely while it charges... And it charges really, really slowly. The large battery took 12 hours to fully charge last time I charged it. (I got a new one yesterday, seems my battery is still dying extremely quickly).
Here is what I am running on my phone.
Here is the new battery I ordered for it that I'm currently using.
I also use this to try to extend my battery life to a normal amount.
I am also waiting for this to come in the mail to help juice up my battery life to get through a day at work.
I bought a charger by RocketFish a while back at Best Buy which is what I used for a while before going to default S3 charger (brand new, I was originally using my S2 charger). Nothing seems to be helping.
So all in all, is my phone shot? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm not sure I want to go out and buy an S5 (especially with Samsung being so closed about bootloaders now). What can I do?
I'm using CM11 on 4.4.4
Well some people have complaints about Cyan's battery life so have you tried taking back to stock?
Hello dear friends. I got a D851 G3 on eBay few weeks ago. Just few days using it I discovered the battery life is so terrible. I spend nearly the same time charging as I spend using. It came with 5.0.1
Today I decided to see how long really does my battery last. I charged 100%, turned my data to 2G and put screen brightness at 0%.
I am attaching a picture of my battery usage as at when typing this. With the conditions above, in 3 hours, I'm nearly at 50% battery. Please how bad is this? Is this normal for G3? What can be the problem and how can I solve it. I love the phone but this is giving me concern because charging all the time is jeadacheheadache.
One more thing, it also trips off especially when the battery is low. At 4G it also gets extremely hot, at one time I had to put in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Heeeelppppppp!!!
