Hi guys,
I have an incredible S rooted and running on Android Revolution HD 2.20 . Had that ROM for a month without any problems until today I charge my phone while using my YooBao (11200mAh) external charger , and it told me that my phone consumes more power than the charge, please close all unused applications.
I was like totally lost. I had that charger for almost half a year and it worked perfectly on my device without any problems.
Now the problem that I'm experiencing is that my phone discharges faster than it charges. and that totally sucks. I need some advice,
Could it be my battery faulty or was it the charging port?
My thoughts are your "YooBao" has ruined either your battery or the phone itself.
Hopefully it's just the battery..
That's usually why phone manufacturers ask you to use their products in comparison to other "suppliers"
Update:
I flashed Nik's v4.5 over my ARHD and I tested it by leaving it to charge until 63%.
Feeling glad that at least it's charging up to 63% , I concluded that my port isn't damaged although I wasn't able to charge using my external charger. Pretty pissed.
I went up to my phone and used it while it was charging . To my horror , the 63% dropped to 61% while I was using and STILL CHARGING . WTF?
Now i'm gonna wipe all my apps and do a clean flash and no titanium backups for me .
God.. help
Did you have gps WiFi or large processes running in the background? It could easily do it.

Well , initially I thought it was , until I wiped my phone and didn't restore my apps and I'm sure it wasnt the processes that are causing this **** . Charge my phone overnight and my phone stops charging , woke up to find that my phone is only at 50% charge and the percentage drops super quickly.
Can anyone tell me whether the charging port or the battery is covered under warranty if it's within my warranty period?
Any advice whether I should get an Ankers' battery or should I purchase another original battery that cost me SGD$68?
Couple of things you could have a look at. Check in your battery menu that your phone is on AC charge mode. Also install current widget to see how many mA your phone is drawing while in use and to check the difference when its on charge. The original charger supplies around 900mA to the phone @ around 10%.
Calibrate it?

i guess if changing battery doesnt work Yoo-b-ao't of luck
After a day of test.
Finally I got tired of it and I did a simple test to really test whether my battery is draining too much or not.
I plugged in my phone yesterday night to charge at the AC adapter, surprisingly it was charged to 100% straight with no problems.
I was tired alrd and I used an iPhone 3G as a spare phone. Throughout the day I carried 2 phones out and I noticed something:
At the end of the day, my InCs still had 78%. (WiFi 3G off) .
It means that the draining of my battery is not as bad as it seems. The real problem is that I am unable to charge properly.
When im charging at 61% , I use the phone when it's charging, the percentage can drop to 58% (which is not possible as my GPS is not on) .
So advice people:
Should I?
1) Get a replacement battery,
2) Bring to the service centre (No warranty left and pay)
Do you think:
1) Port problem
2) battery problems.
Let me know

It's for me a usage problem, got the same message too. You're running too much apps at once and never use a taskkiller. You also had GPS WiFi and Mobile Network on and maybe at full brightness. Close apps, I think you need not GPS while charging and if you have a WiFi connection mobile network isnt to be on.

Hey guys. I was wondering if this is reasonable battery life for the Mini?
NB:
- when WiFi wasn't enabled, i had 3G on all the time, except the straight section - that was overnight
- my screen brightness stays at about 65% all the time, except for the no-wifi screen time before the straight section - that was minimum brightness
- powersave is activated
- some of the screen time was games - notably I played GTA VC for 30 minutes without powersave
I need to know if it is decent because I am able to return the phone until the end of the month if the battery is damaged. Thanks.
Yes that seems ok.

Yup, but even 4G Samsung phones are reported to last longer than just 4 hours on one charge.

Speaking of batteries, is my Mini the only one with an odd discharge habit? It seems to go down a few percents between sleep and wake, then stay on a certain level for longer. Repeatedly.

Try training the battery (let it go down to 2%, fully charge it, repeat one or two more times) and see if that clears it up.

I did that more than once, until it wouldn't even power on. Then plugged it in to charge until i got the Battery Full notification. Still happens, not as much but it does. I'm starting to get used to it though, especially since a friend of mine with an OG S3 says he gets the same thing too.
Here try this works for some people. Give it a try. : http://www.apkmania.co/2012/11/battery-repair-doctor-boost-v19-apk.html?m=1

Exactly what I'm worried about, I'd rather exchange the phone while I still can. For example, today I've had the phone sit on 25% for a long time, then suddenly decrease to 22% and sit there for a long time as well. This ticks me off a little, but I don't know whether it's an actual problem or not.

This is the most common thing now. I have seen that the stock batteries are not lasting more than a year.
Just go ahead and buy a new battery. It surely is not the ROM

The same has happened with me. My Note is 13 Months old.
I was playing game AVP Evolution till late night. And in the morning battery died, I charged it to full 100% but as soon as i boot up with in 4 second the phone again switched off , No battery low warning nothing. It is really strange but the fact is that the Samsung battery are just die completely all of a sudden, unlike other phones battery which dies gradually as it looses power and all that ........
I ordered a new battery & everything is fine now.
My old battery is unable to boot my phone even for 5 sec.
I am running my note on the swollen battery for about 8 hours now xP.Sometimes it switch off as soon as I turn it on but rest of the time it runs just fine.Anyways I ordered a new battery.

likeliness of it "blasting"... not very likely.. possibility of it "blasting".. it is possible..
batteries just go bad... a battery is only solid for around 500 charges then they just start losing their charge faster. i mean we are using small computers so this is just going to happen more and more. different reasons could cause this.... use of phone (it is what its designed to do..lol), a "cell" could just go bad causing the swelling, the circuitry in the battery fails causing the swelling, your charger goes bad and takes the battery with it (i had a cat bite thru a cable and it ground out..next day the battery showed signs of swelling and within a week you couldnt snap the battery cover on)... etc....
use is up to the user and their needs... there is a danger of the battery shorting the phone out totally and it never working again too. its not something that happens often but it is a solid possibility, so basically use good judgement...
it's usually caused by over charged (u don't unplug the charger when it reach 100%).
I've been using my Note more than a year and my battery still flat as it is new.

i beg to differ... the batteries have smart circuitry to protect against this. overcharging has not been a problem for years... i personally have left one of my notes on charge for days... it always stays on charge for 5-6 hrs past it being 100% and it still is a strong battery.. also just because a battery is flat doesnt mean its good... the swelling just makes the fact it is going bad more obvious...
I agree with kawgirl

A new battery from less than 10% to 100% takes 3 to 4hrs. I hope you have not purchased higher mAh batteries. Higher the scale longer the time initially till some frequent recharging and charging sets it in place. Also try a shut down of your device and charge to figure out how much time it takes. Try some battery diags apps...it will show the voltage...if your voltage is less than 2V.....sure your battery has to be replaced.

I dont see any issues with battery. Two thing:
1. Switch off the phone, charge, check how much time it takes. My phone as mentioned earlier takes 3 hrs to a 100%.
2. ensure that Wifi and data are stopped.
3. While charging in on state dont use the phone - also monitor the temperature- if its getting beyond 61degrees switch off the phone and give some time and then recharge.
Your phone has a new battery so 4 to 6 hrs is company recommended charging. So I dont see any issues at this moment.
Hope it helps, let me know.

Bro ..... it takes about 5 hrs....
well you may want to see is the charger plug is properly inserted into the socket. a loose contact does affect the charging time largely. anyway from the above posts there isn't any problem with your battery. I srtonglt recommend you to plug the charger properly and also check for proper connection in the charger usb contact. let me know if that helped
M pretty sure that it is the problem of my charger .......
As when i connected my note to a pc with bb data cable ..... my note gets charged very fast ...... btw thanks bro...

Ain't that normal? What's the capacity of the battery?
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000
There's no official fast charge ROM support available for Galaxy Note.
You can increase the charge speed my optimizing your battery performance. Most Samsung phones take 3-4 hrs for charging depending on the phone state.
Make sure you clear all apps before keeping your phone for charging as any running app can eat up the battery. Look up for any suspicious apps which may be eating up battery.
Use CPU spy to make sure that your phone is going imto deep sleep while charging, if not there's a malicious app which is keeping up the phone awake or there's problem with the ROM you're using.
Also check that your phone is not getting heat up while charging, as it could mean a great power loss which could highly affect the charge time.
If nothing works try changing ROM.
Or at the last case if you are a regular ROM chamger then try to clear up battery stats through some app available from play store which requires root.
One more issue which I once encountered was with my charger cable being faulty( although no signs of physical damage) and I changed it with a locally bought cheap cable and miraculously my phone stopped heating and charged faster.
The more you care for your device, the better it gets.
Hope I have helped you.

I checked my 2 Notes, max current it draws is limited by the charging circuit. Seems no kernel can change that value in the Note.
It charges max at 1 Amp, no matter if you attach it to a charger that can deliver like maybe 1000 Amps, the max current is 1 Amp.
That 1 Amp is also until it reaches about 90% ... since Li-Ion is very picky and actually dangerous when overcharging they slow it down.
It's a statement that I hear often in the wrong context : I bought a new battery and it takes very long to charge. Actually that is a sign that the battery has a big capacity. You can only take what you give.
Of course the charger and cable are very important. I would advice everyone to buy one of those usb charger doctors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451375
