OK so how weird is it that my X1 drinks its battery dry even while OFF?! I'd be happy to put it down to a dead battery, if it weren't for the fact that I have two batteries: one (>2 years old) OEM and one (~1 year old) 3rd party clone.
It's possible that both batteries are dying and not holding their charge. Thing is, I don't want to fork out on a new battery if the X1 itself is faulty.
Any thoughts before I send my X1 off to silicon heaven?
A little power has to be drained to keep the clock running. But my phone drains a lot if its off..but it fell into water so it doenst really count as normal behavior..
How much of power is drained? 1-2%? Or 50%? Also, sometime when you restart phone it shows that batt has 10-20% less power than before restart.
2 years for batt is quite a lot, and we all know that 3rd party equipment is not good as original. So maybe is batt dead.

Hi everyone,
I just charged my phone and the battery seems to be fatter after it was charged. I'm a little worried if this might explode or something. I opened it up and looked and the battery is cool and nothing is leaking from it but the battery looks slightly fat. This has never happened before since I got my Note. Is this normal?
I charged it using my laptops USB port when this happened. Also most of the time I charge it from the wall.
I get worried because batteries can be the main cause of device failure so I don't want to damage my phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I dont think its due to charging.. Do you take it with you in bathroom when you take a shower? Or maybe you sweated while it was in your pocket and it was hot outside?..
I had a LG flip phone years ago and the battery got so fat too.. The reason I believe was that it was in my pocket when I was outside and the temperature was like 45-50 celsius..
maybe, but at the time this happened the phone had been idle and out of my pocket for hours. i'll keep close eye on this one.
thanks.

Not heard of or seen this with Mobile batteries before TBH, however, this is "common" with overcharging of standard batteries in warping the cells etc..
I'm not tech enough to explain - but good call to keep a close eye, On the plus side, they batteries can be picked up dirt cheap on eBay or similar. Fortunately I have 2 as I returned my first Note after a couple of days and had it replaced, I just didn't send em the battery back

If you have warranty then why not go to samsung service center ? Bulging of battery is not a simple issue or sth which can be ignored . As a normal battery it should not bulge , I suggest you to go to SSC and get it checked , if there is some problem they will replace it ( I guess )

You should buy new battery, battery is cheap compared to phone.
there was a guy who owned a HTC Sensation and his phone caught fire whilst he was using it! it burnt his face.

Better buy an original Samsung battery from an official Samsung shop as there are many fake batteries online.....you never know if your battery is faulty or might explode. Better spend around 30-50usd on an original battery instead of being sorry afterwards.
That is simply because it got over-charged in the first case. Else might be a defect. A new battery can solve the issues. :good:
Guys, I need help. I'm not sure of this problem is specifically due to software or hardware but it's very annoying since I have to be by the charger all day. The phone goes from 100 to 70% within like 45 minutes and then dies and when I try to turn it on, the red notification light flashes 3 times.
And the phone overheats so much it's not even funny, sometimes even while in standby with absolutely nothing happening. Help please.
Try to recalibrate your battery with a play store app it can help
1) try to flash stock sw with complete wipe of data
2) if that won't help then you'll have to go to some service center - a friend of mine had a similar problem with Xperia Z and some serviceman told him that the phone was a bit damaged with water, so they cleaned it up (don't ask me how though ..)

I had the exact same problem, except my phone died around 85%.
Replace the battery. The battery in there is made pretty cheap (also made in China); cheap batteries usually have a ton of flaws. I suggest you replace it yourself to lower the costs. Make sure you buy the right equipment too (battery, sticker adhesive glue, spudger tools, hexagonal screw driver (T5 or T6), heatgun/hair dry, guitar pick, suction cup, back cover is optional; I already had a heatgun so the whole thing costed me around $30). Look on YouTube, there's a guide of how to replace it.

Agreed.
My phone died at 50%, not much as you but it happened when i use it for 1 year only.
The only way to fix this problem is replace a battery.

I have read that high temps are bad for a battery, and the past few days ive started to use the Standard Moto x4 quickcharger more often.
To compensate the rise in temperature, i just lay the phone on a cold stone floor with the back on the bottom while charging in short bursts of 25%.
I notice the cold floor absorbs the heat, and the battery stays cool that way.
Would charging in this manner be harmful for the battery, or is it a succesful way to minimize battery degradation through quickcharge?
I check the temperature with accubattery app after quickcharging for lets say 25%, and it always tells me around 25°C max (77°Fah)
The floor is probably between 5°C (41°Fah) and 12°C (54°Fah)
I noticed that when I was outside today (pretty cold 3°C) , accubattery showed battery temperature of phone was 12°C;
so the temperature reading in AccuBattery is probably accurate.
This means it's not harmful to quickcharge my phone @ a battery temperature of 25°C or less., by laying the glass back on the floor.
It probably helps to neutralize some of the negative effects quickcharging has on the battery
[/nerdmodus]
I really don't think that quickcharging has any harmful effects; for sure it has been designed taking also thermal conditions into account.
I can't imagine I'd have to look for cold stone floor every time I need to recharge my phone
Is this thread for real?
Lmfao. Life's too short to be worrying this much about a phone battery. Just charge the damn thing.

Glad you got a laugh out of it.
For you then,
when quickcharging Just don't put your phone on a cold surface, let the battery get hot...
let it go to 0% and then charge overnight to 100%... everyday
and keep it laying in the sun from time to time,
all these things are bad for the battery but apparently they make you enjoy life more.
so enjoy :silly:
As above, my battery barely lasts a day and looking for a replacement?
I would recommend that you get a replacement device as once you have opened up your device. The water resistance is no more.
I'm unhappy with my battery life. While it did work 2-3 days with 4-5h SoT at best before I now get around 25-35% in the evening. Not suitable for another day.
So either the battery is done for or the software has become way way worse.

Battery Replacement does seem possible. So has anyone done it? Did it help?
Yes. I have done a complete screen replacement as well as the battery. I didn't need to watch out for a screen as it were completely destroyed. Yup, you're right about the battery, probably it needs to be replaced. I have a neat trick to help you with screen removal. Take a plastic bottle, cut a small rectangle from it (around 4x6cm should be enough) and then round those sharp corners with some scissors so there won't be any sharp edges left. Once you've that done, take your freshly cut plastic card and insert it into bottom gap (where speaker is). You could use a suction cup to raise the glass a little bit. And slice the adhesive around the screen. Ofc be careful not to push it too far to not damage screen ribbon. Watching teardown videos is crucial as you don't wanna pierce or rip apart the screen ribbon. if you want more information about this, feel free to ask As putting everything together - I recommend buying original lcd adhesive for xz2, it's simple and the screen stays on as well as original.
*#*#7378423#*#* go into this service menu then the battery health test, it tells you current max. capacity and health status whether if you need to replace or not.
battery replacement should be relatively easy since it is held down by screws not adhesive, be careful when opening up the phone you may damage the LCD also make sure you clean all the left adhesive residue before applying the new sticker or B7000 glue to the frame
I don't trust those numbers. That's the Problem here...
@Verity.
Did you realize any difference in Battery life before and after the change?
Certainly. I bought used battery as it was cheap and as the old one was quite worrying on the outside. I immediately noticed the difference (especially in sot) so with the new battery you should feel the difference even more.
Not sure if the degradation of the battery is good or bad...
After fully charging now:
And one of the earliest from 2018
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83337497&postcount=6
That's pretty normal. Every battery has a lifespan. It's depended on temperature, usage but the most important factor is the charging cycles. After x cycles battery loses it's capacity. It's due to chemical reactions inside of it and there's nothing you could do about it. Until solid state batteries will come out, you will have to change the battery once 2-3 years.
So yeah....
I've done it and i'm not happy
