Battery Drains While Charging! - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just recently installed alfs v8a kernel with GingerZaraki ROM but now I'm having problems with the battery. It completely drains in a few hours and only charges properly via PC. When I try charging it with the socket, it charges but the charge still drains at the same time when I'm using it, I've tried 2 different chargers as well and different USB cables. Help! Also, how long should the battery last with heavy use?

Try wiping battery stats.

I've kept it on charge for a few hours now whilst the phone is off and the charge level was around 50%. I went to check again 15 minutes later and the charge level is around 20%. What gives? I tried wiping battery stats yesterday when the phone was near enough 0% charge.

Anyone? I really need to use my phone and this is so damn annoying.

do you use your phone while charging? cause for me, if i watch a video via wifi (and maybe got bluetooth turned on) the same happens for me

sorry, just saw 'while phone is off', maybe try another rom....
do you use usb or ac to charge ?

But it shouldn't though, should it? It never used to happen when I had GingerXperia.

i would give it a try... you've got nothing to lose..

I charge using both USB and AC. It charges fine with USB but not with AC? I've tried different chargers aswell.

I got the same problem. The battery status graph even shows a perfect 45 degrees drain, after it charged to 100%. The result on the morning I got low battery -.- cable detach and attach fixed the problem, anyway. On any ROM. What is faulty here?

IS the notification light on?
I have just made a guide for this here

Following the battery drain instructions on the Ginger Zaraki thread seems to have solved the problem but I haven't tried charging using AC yet, still USB.

(help) Battery not charging

Hello,
I cannot charge my note, neither from genuine Samsung charger, nor from my laptop using usb. It shows dots for a couple of minutes- up to 15 I guess, but the green battery is not filling with its juice. After a quater yellow triangle with exclamation mark appears on the screen.
I am able to switch it on, while the dots are on the screen, but after logging it, message appears that my battery is low and I should plug in the charger (but it is plugged...), thank after a couple of minutes battery remains 1% and goes to 0% I asume as GNote switches off.
Kernel is 2.6.35:7-N7000XXKL3-CL793489 [email protected]#2
And Baseband version N7000DDKL1
I guess it is a software error, because it worked well for previous owner while on CM9 (or the previous owner lied to my and sold me faulty item ;( )
Is it possible to somehow flash it or change the rom to any other while having that issue with battery? I mean while seing that yellow triangle?
Things I did that did not help:
- tried to clean usb slot,
- took off battery for a couple of minutes so somehow reset the device
- plug it to laptop
mhm, had that problem too, but removing USB and putting back and it works.
did you tried another USB cable?
other thing I got while charging under Android was "stopped charging, battery temperature to high" very strange...

I can only charge it via my laptop, but it takes ages - 10-12 hours to charge....
Any ideas why travel charger (added to set) is not working?
Now, while GNote is plugged it is still draining the battery
Had similar problems,
I have 3 stock USB cables and 2 chargers - I can only charge via one of the cables, unfortunately my rabbit chewed it within an inch of it's life..
I bought a new USB cable, Which connects via data mode to my PC but will not charge when using it in PC or wall charger.. Shows connected and charging - but battery continues to deplete...
Fortunately as I have one working cable I try to keep both batteries fully charged..

Could always try Dr. K's Suggestion:
Remove battery for few min
re insert and just plug in to charge.
Afetr few min try to switch on
I've had similar problems recently myself. I think in my case it's a bug in the CM9 nightly i was using.
Plugged into the charger over night, no charge on the phone. Reboot of the phone has fixed this for me. I updated CM9 yesterday and the problem is gone for me.
I'm using a SE charger and it works fine. Charging via laptop works great as well.

Battery won't charge to 100%

Hi
I'm new and this is my first thread.
After I rooted my phone I have an issue with charging my battery.
When I started the phone after the root I had a 100% battery, after I was playing and using it I plugged it in when I was going sleep.
After the whole night my phone charged from around 12% to only 60%, and then after I was using and draining the battery nearly to minimum(around 5-7%) it and left it for a couple o hours and it charged to 59%. Sometimes it charges a bit more but the whole process is really slow comparing it to the stock rom charging(it was taking lik 3-5 hours from 0-100%).
I rooted my phone with ivendor's rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260
I was using CWM 6.0.1.2.
I would like to ask for any solutions for my problem, for now I want to drain it to 0 and then leave it again charging for a couple of hour maybe a whole night.
It's a bug. Sometimes is occures and sometimes not.
You could flash castagnaIT kernel and try again.
Just installed the kernel.
1st thing I noticed is a performance increase.
I'll gonna post what's the situation of battery tomorrow.
Ok, After a whole night of charging my phone only got to 68%, then when I was charging it when it was turned off It charged to 85% and when I turned it on it stopped to charge even with the AC plugged in and the icon is showing that it's charging.
Any solutions ? Please help.

I get a similar issue. When on stock I was always getting 100 %. Then I flashed CM9 and I randomly get 100 % after all night recharge.
If you are not afraid of switching ROMs, try a different one and let us know if it solved the problem because as mrjraider said
It's a bug.

Ok.
I was charging it turned off. It charged to 100%. I'll gonna test it today one more time with charging it when the phone is switched on.
If it fails I'll gonna get back to my stock rom and test it and try again with a battery charge to 100%.
Also remember that the phone wont charge completly due to safety of your battery..
Most of the time it recharged to 98 percent

Yes I know but the indicator in the phone 'has that in mind' so it shows 100% but its really 98 i know. When I was analyzing that battery graph I saw that the battery is charging really long. If I'm reading it right it takes the same amount of time to charge it as to drain it when using it.
Screen is attached. I was charging it through the wall charger.
It's polish language
Any opinions ?
Make your battery empty 0% !

I think that the solution was USB debugging. When I turned it off the phone is normally charging full and works perfectly.
Hey everyone! we are all using a li-ion battery » when we unplug our device from cable it will turn automatocally to 99%... I'm sorry folks, i don't like this feeling neither never havimg 100%...

Ahh.... just turn it off. Charge it fully( 3hrs at max). Got to recovery and wipe battery stats. Then drain it completely, and then recharge it fully.again. Then it will most probably go till 100%

I can't charge the phone turned on

Hi, I have a problem namely battery will not charge at on the phone. In the phone, the battery is kept constant at the same level, in the case where charging leave for the night reaches 100%, but Without the charger immediately decreases to the level before charging. I tried to charge the phone battery different levels, but nothing. It charges only when the phone is off.

Sorry it was unnecessary on my part. No I did not check, and how to do it?
After your help, I cleaned the file again and to my surprise the battery was loading and recharge to 86% and further something not want to charge. Then I left my phone charger at night and Without the charger has dropped to 54%. Battery Calibration gives 54%.

Shutdown your phone and then put off your battery, and see if this is inflated, maybe your battery is dead :S
and..I'd advice you don't leave overnight charging your device, this may break your device's battery
Thanks a lot Viper The Ripper for all the help.
Problem solved, the battery can not be saved and had to buy a new one. Subject to closing
However, the problem is not solved, I put new battery recharge up to 100%, acted a little state has declined to 87% wanted to recharge again with curiosity and an hour remained at this level that the problem may be in the USB cable, charger, I tried to recharge the phone connection laptop unfortunately nothing. Any advice ?

[Q] CM 11 (JCSullins): Battery not charging?

I installed JCSullins 4.4.4 CM 11 from 9/13/14. Thanks to the Toolbox, the process went extremely smoothly. I ran into a small issue though. The battery would charge properly overnight for the first week or so. Then I noticed that the battery wasn't getting charged (no charging indicator) but a reboot would fix the issue and the battery would start charging again. This morning, the battery won't charge at all, even with a reboot. It shows 51% and discharging. I tried different chargers but none seem to have an effect. I haven't had a chance to plug it into a laptop yet to see if the USB port is broken. Has anyone else had battery issues after upgrading? If the USB port is indeed broken, would a charging dock (Touchstone?) charge the TP?
Might be Cable problem
Hi,
I've been using this rom for about 3 days and didn't noticed any problems in charging. What I had in the earlier days is battery drain in lowest clock frequency. Then i rebooted it 5 to 6 times and then problem got solved also deep sleep started working.
You can check the cable and the charging adapter. It might be the blacksheep.

Thanks for your reply. I tried using other chargers and cables and nothing seems to make a difference. Oddly enough, the charge has dropped to 15% and if I leave it plugged in all day/night, it doesn't drop beyond whatever % it was last at. As an example, if I leave it unplugged and the charge drops to 10%, it will stay at 10% when the TP is plugged in. The battery icon also shows charging for a minute or so, then stops again.
Just as a follow, at least one other user has this problem. See the 4.4.4 thread in the developer section. Unfortunately, I cannot post in a developer until I have at least 10 posts. Sigh.

Battery Problem pls URGENT HELP!!!

I have tab s 8.4 lte model. Got it new. I was getting 3-4 hours of screen timing which was ****,
I did the back cover removal procedure and disconnected and reconnected the battery connector to see if it fixes the problem.
I then started tne device and draimed the battery to 0%. I then connected charger and charged the tab for over 5 hours. Just now i saw that it showed 100% charged.
I removed the charger and switched the tab on and it says 1% battery...WTFFFFF???
I connected charger again and now it says 9% left.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?? CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME?
Its probably not reading the battery correctly. Have you tried recalibrating and drain and chargeing it for like a couple times?

Im guessing your rooted. Well go into the play store and search for battery recalibrate. Pick one and install. Then follow what it siads to do and it should clear your battery stats. Now about the charging, i had a phone that didnt go above 50percent charge. So what I did is let it drain completely till it cannot turn on with the power button. Now just use a different charger or somesort and let it charge fully and dont turn it on till its at 100 percent. Then try and turn it on without the charger and see if it reads correctly.

Now completely drain and charge it for about 2 times. If that doesn't work then it might be something loose with the battery.

If u dont want to try custom kernel install advanced battery calibrator from play store and try with that it seemed to help with tab s aswell
Yeah resetting the fuel gauge could help. Try sky high kernel
Hi there. I also face exactly the same problem as you. Today I open the back cover and disconnect and connect the battery connector. But my Tab S become worst. Does your tab become better?

Then your best chance is to rewert it to stock and hope that they wont check knox count in warranty repairs.
I'm guessing you have a micro sd inserted.
Check your battery stats. See if "media server" or "indexservice" is in a high percentage. Turn it off. Tha saps the battery more faster than Sylvester says "suffering sukatash!"
Heavy usage results into 4 hours batt average
If all else fails looks like you have a faulty battery
HI... How things athithi going on? Can't you replace by your self the battery? Someone knows where to buy an OEM battery?
My 8.4 battery is doing really weird things.
It'll be at say 34% and then plummet to 5% and shutdown.
So i plug it in, and the battery meter icon will pop up saying theres 25% battery available!.
I turn on the tablet and use it normally again. Very odd/
i had this issue once , the battery went crazy , auto reboot after a few minutes, then i went to customer service and they said that this issue was common :v They fixed the battery connector and it was normal again :v
Download battery monitor, this is probably the most comprehensive battery app available. It will tell you if your battery is actually charging and not just the phone detecting the charger being plugged in. It measures mah, if this doesn't change then the battery isn't charging
