Instant Battery Charge Glitch

I plugged in my phone for 20 seconds and I went to check for email notifications and to my amazement it's fully charged.
This is now another possibility in battery issues. I know I'm using a faulty device (that's why I ordered a RMA) but this is kinda odd so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Let's hope this instant charge sticks lol. I went from 7% to 100% in 20 seconds.

Had that also one or two times. If you leave it plugged in it goes back to the correct percentage after some minutes.
Likewise a minor software glitch that will get fixed soon, nothing to worry.

Your phone is just that awesome... I wish my phone was that cool

Good for example you need to go somewhere and you forget to charge it. Just plug it in for 20 sec and bam it's fully charged and problem solved.

This happens when you plug in the phone and the wall charger has no voltage, e.g. because you use a switch that is off. If you switch it on, the glitch occurs and the phone is instantly charged. Of course that's not really the case, though. Rebooting solves this most of the time.

The Galaxy Nexus had none of these issues. I just hope that Google fixes this soon.

this is a non-issue as it is charging fine when left. no disadvantages except when you really believe it is fully charged in a second.

Nope. It doesn't let me continue to charge until I restart the phone (for me at least).

My phone did this last night. I noticed it right away, so I just unplugged the cable and plugged it back in and bam it went back to charging its merry little heart out

I am also experiencing this issue with a Nexus 4 (few weeks old) running Andriod 4.2.2.
Anyone know if this issue is fixed in upcoming release?

Just happened on my Nexus with Nokia 1.2mAh charger and latest CM10.1 nightly, reboot solved it though

I think this is correct. I've had this happen 3 times in 6 months and it's only happened when I plug the phone into the charger right after plugging the charger into the wall.
I've since tried to leave the charger plugged in about 10-20 seconds before attaching the phone and it hasn't happened since (~3 months)

Thanks, will try this approach.

i hope someday "20sec charging" will be a feature for every smartphone

Happened to me one night but when i unplugged my phone in the morning, it went down to 40% :/ so evidently it didnt continue charging after glitching. Battery usage pane confirmed this.

I usually charge my phone during nights.. Sometimes on the morning my battery is down to 80%, it stopped charging at 100% and I assume didn't charge any longer and the phone was draining the battery, has anyone else the same problem?

For me 80% only in standby is too much. I always get Fully charged when I charge it at night.

Average on screen time?

Just curious what is everyones average on screen time for the i9305t?
I am averaging 2 and a half hours which i believe is piss poor...

Yeah I think that you're doing something wrong, I get a good 8 hours out of 24 hour battery, a longer battery if I use my screen less

how is that possible? 8 hours of your screen ON. Maybe my phone is a dud or something. Running 4.1.2...

mine says 4 hrs before battery completely drains
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

I would say I get anywhere between 3 and 4 hours screen time depending on how I use my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app

Most times around 4 hours screen on time and 20 hours standby. My maximum where 5 hours screen on and 24 hours standby. But everyone has different apps, syncs.

Install BBS and check what eating your battery. Make sure your system runs without wakelocks. Some apps syncing a lot so check them all in BBS.
I'm getting 3hrs if I play games (Asphalt 7 etc) for more than 2hrs with brightness half way up only.... Normal usage without games and Auto brightness to minimum I'm getting 3-4 hrs over 24hrs (including 1hr+ voice calls)

Battery charging

How much time i need to charge the xperia z for the first time ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

So far, I charged mine or about 45 mins before turning it on using the wall charger, then let that drain to nothing, then did a USB charge which took a while (around 5 hours before the fully charged light came on) and now the battery seems pretty good and is getting better. Apparently it has a big impact on how you charge it, fast vs slow, for the first few times, so do some reading around if you havent already : )

4.3 Slow charging?

Anyone else experiencing very slow charge times? I plugged in at 20% at midnight. Just woke up and it only charged to 87% in 7 hours.

Yep, mine been slow to charge as well. Admittedly though I just dirty flashed the update over my previous rom so I will do a fresh install see if that makes a difference.

mine charges faster as a matter of fact
especially while plugged into usb

Same here; I've noticed that battery life and recharging are a lot better.

Yeah, I noticed this last night. I plugged in about an hour before falling asleep, checked it a few minutes before knocking out and it barely moved 4%. Very concerning.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I just updated to 4.3 ROM, firmware, radio, plugged the charger and went to sleep. After I woke up (9 hours) phone was at 87%. Let it another hour, still the same. Than rebooted and 100%. IDK maybe the new firmware messed smth? I'll try again later and report back

Mine has improved as well, actually. Before, it would take a very long time to charge fully. Especially that 99-100% gap. It would literally take 20+ minutes to go from 99 to 100. Made no sense. Battery charging and life seem to have been much improved since the update.
The one thing that hasn't changed as that as soon as it fully charges, I can still unplug it and plug it back immediately and see the battery percent drop. Usually goes from 100 back down to 96-99%. I have never once, since I've had the phone, had it stay at 100 after unplugging and replugging immediately. Weird.

Mine actually charges faster and I get better battery life. I would do a clean install. Running 4.3 stock with goodies.

Im on Flex 2.03 and Charging seems to be normal!

Just checked my batter stats and it took roughly 7 hrs to go from 20-100%

Great battery life!

I'm on my 5th day with the gear. Just want to say I think the battery life is great.
I've had it off the charger for 5 hours today and the battery is only at 96%, and that's with some good use of S Voice. Think I could make it two or three days, although it's no big deal to charge it at night when I charge my phone.

Same for me, 4th day for me - charged it every evening so far and every evening when I get back from work i'm on around 70%, which is great and unexpected. Won't charge it today, will wait to see how long it takes to completely discharge. Will update again here...

My battery life sucks! I'm at 84% and I took it off the charger 3 hours ago. I reset it last night, thinking that might help but it didn't. Am I the only one with this terrible battery life? I think I'm going to take this watch back.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me to get better battery life?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The battery life is a lot better than I expected. Forgot to charge it last night and I'm still at 53%. That was with a lot of usage going home last night too.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I charge overnight, wear it from 7:45am to midnight and usually end up with 40% left at the end of the day. I get between 20-40 email/texts a day, make few calls but spend a lot more time playing with the Gear itself.

I'm at 81% now, that's 3% drop in 15 minutes. What are your settings? My brightness is at 3 an I'm using the wake feature. I am also using the shortcut watch face with the media control shortcut.

I have been off the charger for 5 hours now and am at 85%. Using the brightness setting at 2 with amber text.
Getting a lot of notifications constantly. It's not too bad~

I'll try the brightness at 2 and see how that goes. Thanks for the feedback.

How do you guys check the battery percentage? I thought that you put your finger at the top of the display and held it there for a few minutes. Not working for me.

I'm also using 3 with awake and shortcut. Did you let the battery drain completely before charging the first time? Sadly the gear outlasts my note.

No, should I try that? I never have worried about how I charge a device. I've never had a problem with anything else. What watch face are you using?

Press screen w 2 fingers for few seconds and will display apps running. Swipe LT or RT to close out. 2 finger tap will show percent and if bluetooth connected.

Here's the watch face I'm using. I don't know if you have to drain it completely before charging but I've been told that it does help condition the battery. It's something I have always done and I've never had issues with the battery draining too fast.

I charged my Gear last night for the first time. After which it has been on for 15 hrs now and it's at 89% battery. I have played with it some to. GREAT BATTERY LIFE!

this is day one for me, 8 hours in and i'm at 70%, brightness is at 5 and i ahve the auto awake feature. I get alerts almost constantly with vibrate turned on. I am constantly turning the watch face on ether by moving my arms around or just the alerts. I would say this thing has pretty damn good battery life.

Wow! I would love to have your battery life on my watch.
10 hrs of operation, with brightness at 2, and 58% remaining now.
It appears that there are some variations in different batteries based on what I am reading.
YMMV applies here.

I think it's calming down now. I'm at 56%. I unplugged it at around 7 this morning. If I can make it a full day I'll be happy. I will let it drain all the way down tonight and see if that helps.

It's the stock shortcuts face. Left to right is media player, contacts, and dialer.
