Hello all; today i bought a used samsung galaxy note the battery was at around 13% so i puted it to the charger , the indicator showing that it is charging i was playing with it
and i saw that if i use it the battery is discharging , and if i leave it the battery charging but very slowly i left it around 1 hour to charge to 20%.
the Q: is this thing normaly for samsung galaxy note or my phone is faulty ?
and what the problem could be ?
hi andy325e.. this is what i do with all my new phones that i bought since last year, just a quick share. when u bought a new phone, always remember to discharge the battery first until your phone turn off. After that, you charge your phone until the battery reach 100% or max 6hours. This method will bring the max performance and better battery life for your phone. For your case, just take out the battery and put it back in. Switch on your phone, let the battery drain. When your phone turned off, charge your phone. I hope this will solve your problem. Good Luck..

Hi
The last few days I've been using my diamond, part way through a call the phone switches off. When I try and turn it on it'll vibrate then switch off again, as it does when the battery is flat. However, if I plug the charger in and turn it on the battery is reported as anything from 40% to 90% !! Just happened a few minutes about, before the call the battery was showing as 75%, 2 minutes later the phone died and wouldn't switch on. I plugged the charger in, switched on and the battery was at 92%. Occasionally, it will switch on without charging and the battery will show as 40% !
Anyone else seen this and got an idea of the problem ? The phone is 18 months and this is the original battery. Is the battery on it's way out or is there another issue ? I've hard reset the phone a couple of times but that's made no difference.
battery's are very analogue components and there is no good digital way to measure their charge
it's don by measuring the volt lvl as the more flat a batt goes the lower the volts will go
so you can't really trust it much as a batt at the end of it's lifespan could have normal volt lvls 1 min and be flat the next
The battery is dead then ? Though so, I've bought a new one, only 20GBP
Thanks for your response.
Anyone notice that when the phone is charging while off and reaches 100% - when you turn on the phone, the battery drops to 98%? From there, it can still accept a charge and then FINALLY indicate the battery is full?
I do have another battery coming from AT&T (because of overheating problems) but I am just curious as to what others are experiencing.
background info - this isn't my first Captivate and I have drained this battery a couple of times to "calibrate" it.
This will sound weird but it worked wonders for me.
*Fully charge the battery with the phone on
*Unplug charger and turn off the phone
*Plug in the charger and wait until its at 100
*Now unplug the charger and boot up the phone
C*Wait until its done booting up and power down the phone.
*Now charge the phone to 100 boot up and use normally

does it make any difference? like long lasting battery hours or so...?
the memory in the batter indicats full as i believe 90% and above or something.. it's normal :T .. but try to do what the previous poster said.. it's worked for some people
I did what he recommended and don't see an improvement in battery life. But, when I unplug in the morning it stays at 100%, it definately made a difference in that regard.
I did see a slight improvement when I cycled the battery a few times. Full charge to 100% dead.

if it's fairly new give it a week or two .. the battery should improve in a way.. if you're still truly dissatisfied then I guess get a new phone or buy a bigger battery .. I believe they'll have better batteries soon on ebay
I tried doing that charge/power cycle.. Once the phone was powered on it immediately dropped to 97%
This is the battery that overheats also..
Wish I could get my #2 captivate back.. I returned it because of the GPS problem - not knowing it was a global issue - I had the best battery life from that phone - 5 days of use easy on that one (without power cycling or anything) - The last 3 phones (all have been overheating) I'm lucky if I get 2 days out of them..
I keep saying phones because I was in my 30 day warranty, so every time I went in they did a complete exchange.. I am now out of my 30 day exchange.
I've searched High and Low for a solution but I can't find anyone who have the same problem as I do.
My Galaxy Tab is running on 2.3.3 and it has been good all this while. Then recently, when my Galaxy Tab shows the 100% fully charged symbol, after unplugging it falls back into the battery % I had before charging. (This happens when I left it idle/when I'm sleeping)
Basically the problem is, it wouldn't charge. So I decided to monitor it as it charges. After 2 hours or so, the battery still shows 53% charging and did not increase. Neither did it drop while charging.
However, when I drain it a little, it varies. For example when I drain it to 43% and recharge after that, it might charge till it's 60% or 55% and stuck.
I need a solution. Thank You
Well first of you should try to use an app called battery calibrator.
But it can also be that you have one of the faulty Taiwan battery's. Samsung replaced them later on with China battery's and they don't have this problem...
I have an Taiwan battery with similar troubles. I for example can charge to 100% then disconnect and fall too 99% instantly. Then if I reboot I come back with 50% battery or less left...
So I don't reboot my phone when not at home
Anyways, I orderd a new Chinese battery from eBay ...
i have a bit same problem. when i charge the battery percentage still the same even if i charge it for 2 or 3 hours...is this a software problem?pls help.thnx
Hello everyone ....
I have a problem with charging the battery on my HD7...
When I leave the phone on the charger overnight ... the morning shines green light 100% battery, but after a few minutes show a lower value ... eg 90%. During the day, the battery drain is normal.
When the phone on the charger during the day and when the battery is charged (quickly turns off the charger) ... there is no effect of the rapid discharge of the battery. The battery is drained properly.
I concluded that the charger charges the battery to 100%, and then turns off. The phone starts to use battery the rest of the night. The phone is still on the charger. I think that is not normal behavior of the phone. My Trophy has not worked in this way
I use Nextgen 2.0 rom. and battery status v4.1.0
I wonder, the battery is bad or the software or something else.
thank you

No need, look at the bottom of his post - he fixed the problem with a new charger.
I had similar problem, changed to new one.
when u leave the phone on the charger overnight, what happens is that th ephone fully charges. to 100 % and then the charger shuts off. but the phone runs on fthe battery especially if u have the radios or wifi on but the indicator thinks that its still on the charger ...but the wifi radios ect is using the power
when u unplug the phone, the battery drains down to actual level aka rapid draining
I think battery or charger should be the problem but probably battery. pretty cheap on ebay
Hi
I've been replacing my 3 years old battery in my Moto G LTE and I have an issue that new battery cant charge. I guess deep discharge protection was activated.
If phone is off and I connect charger, screen with 0% battery shows up. And it run in cycle = phone switch on, 0% screen, phone switch off, ....
If I first turn the phone on, ROM is loaded, charging flash appears in notification area, but battery is still 0% or it flash to 1%, but drops again to 0%.
Could anyone guide me how to fix it?
It seems to be hard to find a quality replacement battery these days: "I did buy the battery about 6 months ago and just installed it today. I'm not sure if the battery was bad from the start, if it deteriorates over time without being installed in a phone or what happened. All I know is the replacement battery didn't work and the old one does." https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+Moto+G+2nd+Generation+Battery+Replacement/52246
Are you shure the battery is charging at all?
