F*** UP BATTERY AND STABILITY ! geez... - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all , sorry for making 3 threads but i am just so so so damn frustrated ....i just flash my tab back to stock and flash it back to paranoid android cm10 1.99a version and all hell breaks loose , my tab HAS SOME REALLY BAD BATTERY to the point i dunno wad the hell is the battery indicates , when i put it to charge it is at a constant 61% no up no down but when i remove the charger and reboot it goes to 1 % and shut down immedieatly i mean seriously what the hell ?? i tried reflash , format but no use ....and it tends to restart every now and then ( i suspect it's the battery ) and i can't flash humberos for some reason ....it says operation aborted or something ...really i really need some help over this battery issue ....please help

I understand your frustration.
Remember your initial CM9 flash went bad, shutting down by itself when you remove charger, and subsequent flash goes to bootloop and such.
I think it is all because of the battery.
I would recommend fixing this before doing more flashes. If it happens to be flashing your bootloader (for example during restocking), and the power run out, you may brick your device.
Have you wipe the battery stats from CWM menu, then power off the tab and fully charge it for say 8hrs, using the original 2A rated wall charger ?
The other option that some people suggested is by opening up the tab (google for proper video instruction) and unplug the battery, wait a while, then replug it back.

Boot into CWM recovery and then wipe battery stats......or use battery calibrator from play store.....(recommended:wiping battery stats)

Wiped stats but with no good =(

for what it is worth, what I do is I wipe at real low level.
Then I power it off. then I charge for 8hr.

hi
to make sure your battery isn't fWordup, touch the charger after 20 minutes, if it is hot, then it is charging, if not, your battery isn't consuming electric power from the charger, so it is indeed fWord.
replace it asap before any other flashing!
best regards ^_^

I dont think the battery died cause i had the same problem few months back and i solved it.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697902

flashed back to stock and now it's fine ...
damn never gonna try paranoid for a while until a newer version a very good rom indeed but lacks stability for me at least
trying aokp ..hopefully this will work
but still whats up with the battery .. =(

I see you are a serial flasher. Hahaha.
Give your tab a break. Stay in one rom for a few charge cycles.
The battery needs to be conditioned.

Finally the battery is OK now using aokp build 40 but how long does it take to fully charge a tab ?it charges like 1 % every 5 mins which is very slow not that I am complaining just seeing my battery charge makes me smile
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

hm.. that is about 8hrs for full charge. a bit too long. Mine usually 3hr+ I think.
Are you using the original charger? 2A rated?

original ..nvm i think imma just stick the charger in my tab 24/7 then lol

I have same experiences, after flashing custom rom.
What i did was put my tab in refrigerator for couple of minutes let it cold then charge it using wall charger for couple of hours.
It works for me.

[Q] Does battery calibration work?

Hi,
Just a quick one and any responses from personal experiance would be great.
Has anyone used an app to re-calibrate the battery? If so did it help or did it seem to make the battery life worse?
I had a major drain on my battery so did a complete reinstall of tweaky ROM and the drain has stopped. Just wondering if I should bother to recalibrate
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Calibration did not help me, I have the same stamina... JVH + Criskelo v56 + CF-Root 3.2
from those many many times i have tried to do calibration in all possible ways that has being suggested even waiting a few days for the cycle to end...
my conclusion its bull**** it depends on the rom or apps that are running ....
the only thing it does it shows u 100% when u finish charging in case u dont see it already.
Does it work or does waiting two weeks for battery to settle down work .
jje
My findings are similar to JJE. After flashing a ROM, it will take 4-5 charge cycles (just charging every night, nothing special....may run down to 0% after first charge) before I see a stable, decent battery life.

Ditto, I try not to judge a ROMs battery appetite until about a week, espescially if I was to lazy to flash at 100%.. But I think that is what is meant by battery calibration..
Ok thanks guys, think I'll wipe battery stats next time I flash a new ROM 100% battery

need some help

i wanted to ask that i was using apocalypse rom and it is great and smooth and all
and i liked it
but then came PARANOIDANDROID and i loved it as i wanted more on my cell screen and that rom gave me that but it had battery drain and 3 pin problem so i couldnot keep it even tho i liked it
but now when i am back to apocalypse rom i still have battery drain
so i flashed it again twice (with all wipes)
and still having that problem and i thought it is a kernal problem
but i guess that rom come with firekernel oc so i should get that problem
so if any1 know the problem please
Charge your battery to 100% and then calibrate your battery .
Plug it on the AC charger for at least 5hours, then go to Recover > Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Then reboot again, use normally the phone and do NOT charge it until it dies with 0% battery, do not power it on, then let it charge with AC charger for another 5 hours, then you can power it on... On my Ace it was worked, then the battery drawn is much more linear
Might be calibration problems as the above guys said.Try these methods and post again

Calibration doesn't increase battery,but it makes battery readings accurate which might also be the problem of the OP

1. Better is when your phone is turned off while charging
2. If you change your rom, charge battery to 100% and wipe stats

i think its better to charge battery when phone is on because when you turn phone on you may drain battery for 2~3 %
and wipe battery in cwm advance options when your batt is full

thats incorrect, with that its like telling everytime you reboot your phone its bad for the battery...not at all, thats just consuming!
its better for the electricity badget though :silly::laugh:
i dont think there is big difference between the two of them, but if you want to do it right i think you should charge it powered off

To calibrate the battery, it is better Battery Calibration (Free Play Store), just wait until 100% load and calibrate, no need to restart

[Q] battery gauge problem

hello
after flashing a few roms, my battery gauge is messed up.
the things i noticed, when my ace turns off deu to low power. the gauge shows 0%.
but when my ace shuts it self down and i plug in the wall charger. the battery gauge shows me a percentage around 75%.
the things i have done to solve this problem is deleting battery stats by cwm and a calibration app nothing did solve the problem.
also i have let the battery drain to zero and then charge it up to 100 and let it drain to zero again. also that didnt solve my problem.
so i flashed back the stock rom by odin. also not solving the problem.
is ther another way to solve the problem
Get a new battery.:thumbup:

The problem is not with your battery. It's with the battery notifier in the ace. It works well for a time and then goes absolutely crazy. Whenever your battery gets low, about 10% for example, connect the charger and charge blindly for 3 hours. Don't worry about the 100% notification. Try your battery now. It should be fine now. But if you're using battery extender kernel, there's a bug in it that brings down the battery for 50% in a short time after using.

i`am on stock gingerbread, the phone is about two years old. i also noticed that when i turn of my phone and pull the battery out for about three minutes en then put it back in the percentage is higher. so i do think that the battery gauge is messed p but when i use a calibration app to solve it, it gets worse or doesnt change. when i use code *#*#4636#*#* the status of my battery is good. im thinking to buy a new battery but i doubt that it would solve my problem.

Hi, I have the same problem with the ace of my wife. When I charge it, it says 100% after 10 min charging !
And when I use it not charging, it drops down ...
I try to let it charge longer, but is that sure that the battery continue charging even if the notifier indicates 100% ?
I'm on [ROM] CM7.2-DEMOCRACY FINAL EDITION .. is there also a kernel to change to help ?
Thanks for your answers, by default I will let it charge for 3h.
PS : is there an app to check the battery life ?

I've the same issue. I charged it for 3 hours, it's not fine, it goes to 50% in about 15 minutes, and when I reboot my Ace, it drop to 15% !
I noticed that when I turn it off and charge it, the green battery indicator is at 80%...
Any idea ?
I tried differents ROM such as CM10.1 CM10 CM9,PAC, same issue.
I bought my wife a new battery @2000mA and she lasts 2 days now, so the answer seems to be the battery-life ...

CM 9, 10.1,PAC consume battery like hell, but not that much also.
If there r such huge drops that too after charging the fone for 3 hrs then i guess there is a problem with the battery.

Yes I thing the battery is dead, it's slightly inflated...
I too have the crazy battery problem, but funny thing is if i were to ignore the indicator and just use it from a 3hr-full charge till it dies off, i could achieve 2.5hours of internet surfing (wifi not 3g). To me this is good enough, all calibration fixes do not work for me. Any suggestions?
PS: I have the system time problem too with S'perience Rom, Eg. when i shut down the phone at 1pm to remove the simcard, after booting up the phone the time shows 11am. This happened to me more than 5 times this week. I dono if it's the rom or the battery that gives this problem. I dono about how it was when running stock rom because this phone does not belong to me. Any help is much appreciated.

Try a full discharge and then plug your phone until it is fully charged, finally without unplug it boot into CWM and wipe battery stats, finally reboot and charge it until 100%

No. Just wait some time, I think that battery needs to calibrate itself with charging. I tried CM11, in first it was awfull, after 2-3 charges it is becoming usable. But still CM10.2 and CM11 based ROMs are battery eaters. Try CM10.1.
Thanks very much for y quick answers ...i hope that it can to remedy the battery okey but i try too cm 10.1 ...thanks again :good:
Next time when you flash rom or even update to official firmware make sure your battery is always 100%, not 80, not 90 but 100%... I had problem with discalibrated battery cause i update from Ginger Bread to official Samsung Jelly Bean firmware and my battery gone crazy... Try charge-discharge couple of times as shut-down says... This problem could be a swollen battery too cause you say that your phone turns off when you are at 25-28%... To be sure that your battery isn't swollen, turn your phone off and make this steps:
step 1: Take the battery out of the phone.
step 2: Put it on a level (flat) surface.
step 3: Try spining the battery, if it spins freely than it's swollen, if it doesn't spin it's good and try this on the bouth sides of the battery.

Battery caliberation problem. caliberate using battery caliberation app or delete batterystats file
Discharge to 0%, full charge to 100%. And leave it some time (don't plug off your charger), maybe hour and more.
Type this in Terminal editor: cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
And wait untill it says the real EOC reached.
{sent from my mind}
if I help you, simpe just hit the thanks button.
i was having the same issue with Carbon 4.4.2 build 3, i did this:
*Uncharged the phone until 12-15%
*Rebooted phone 7% battery (every time i rebooted i losted 5% no matter what)
*Charged phone good 4 hours and then ran Battery Calibration APK (battery Calibration was showing 4120mha)
*Rebooted left phone alone 15 minutes ran Battery Calibration APK again (battery now was showing 4245mha)
*Ran greenify, hibernated almost all apps except whatsapp (bug with that was launching Player pro instead)
*Disconnected phone went to settings/performance changed:
Cpu Governor to :Abyssplug
Minimum CPU freq: 200mhz, Max: 800, set on boot.
I/O Scheduler: Deadline,set on boot.
Memory Managment: Zram to 10%, Allow purging of assets and KSM, also 16bit transparency.
i had 100% battery from 1am to 5am (whatsapp, fast for facebook,player pro, traffic racer, heavy wifi, screen never went off) at 4:35-40 i had 57% battery, to 5am i was having 55%, slept til 11am from that on i haven't used my cellphone too much but i have 35% current battery...for me its okay since i alway have a backup battery.
Pdt: i owe you the picture im in my office and don't have an usb cable with me.
