Hi all,
I have to turn to asking this question because i tried searching for all help to no avail. My friend's galaxy tab have been having a serious battery indication issues. We tried a few roms, the Stock ROM, Overcome 9.1, AOKP Milestone 6 and MIUI.
What happens is that the battery charges full but when plugged out immediately falls to 75%. Upon using to near 40% it shuts off.
When we reboot it, the battery indication is different always.
We tried clearing the battery data, clearing battery voltage, switching off the tab and charging it, press and hold power and the screen all to no avail.
Anyone encounter similar issues?

I rooted my phone last week thanks to the xda forum
[ROM]-Unoffical AOKP
[Kernel]-No change.
phone worked great, awesome battery life, was on the phone for 4 hours and still i had 40% left, that to while using skype on wifi. Normally the phone used to die within the first 2-3 hours.
I was checking on the various kernels, just coz i wanted to get the ATT world phone image out of my phone! so i used icyglitchv14, well it worked.
But for some reason the phone's battery seemed to drain faster when the phones idle. The phone was back to its crappy battery life.
Yesterday, i flashed the unofficial AOKP ROM build 25 (thanks) the battery life improved drastically, though i have no clue as to why!
Problem now? Battery won't charge, rebooted, turned phone off, but battery just wouldn't charge.
Solution: Remove the battery, hold on to the power button for 5s, replace the battery and turn on the phone. It started charging.
I don't know if its a bug, or if its got to do with the icyglitch power states ( i used conservative), but hope someone checks this out.
i am 100% baffled that this just worked for me, but thanks so much for posting this
Thanks marcknight.
Noticed it around 15% and started to panic.
Turned to my trusty XDA hoping for a solution before it died completely.
One of those strange instances of: Don't ask HOW or WHY, just know that it works.
this worked for me!
this worked for me!
I was also using aokp build 40 ics. and the power mode I believe that I set it on was conservative, I guess i shouldn't use that mode anymore! My power button also doesn't work very well so i was basically mashing all of the buttons while the battery was out of the phone and also while the phone was plugged in, then i inserted the battery and it just started booting with the att screen.
Not charging
That happens to me today. Because I read this earlier I did the same and Voila!!
Thanks!!!
Mine stopped charging too.. and its stock
I am running stock ATT firmware and the battery will charge outside the phone but in the phone it shows charging but gos dead. I have tried the 2 amp power charger for my nexus 7 and that won't even charge it. Good thing I got a cheap external charger a while back.
Anyone know what could be causing this?
a guess: removing the battery, then holding the power key for a few seconds causes the max8998 power management chip to reset, probably by discharging a capacitor or equivalent.
liberate your captivate on xda
Having the same thing happen to me right now. I using the Captivating ROM, just tried your solution, will see how goes. Thanks.
Hi - a few days ago my SGN turned off when I was playing GTA so I plugged it in and kept playing it. I noticed that battery levels were reported as ~50% before the first switch offs then 14% when I switched it on again. Then it happened again a few times then it turned off when I switched on WiFI just after booting. Basically over the last day or so it started turning off during the boot animation and wouldn't even boot most of the time.
So after reading a few threads here I tried flashing to stock GB then stock JB - it pretty reliably boots to the language choice screen then switches off on the next screen which turns on WiFi as it happens, not sure if this is relevant but wierdly when it was switching off in GTA it seemed to be at the same spot each time in the game. The thread which I got method from said to use Kies but I could only use Odin to flash JB since it turned off before it finished:\
Also discovered that whilst it will switch off on the CWM screen even it appears to be fine when it's in download mode.
So looking at another method to fix this here I put Note into download mode and ran down the battery, left it for 10 minutes, turned it on again until it died again, left it for an hour and fully charged it off wall outlet. Basically this appeared to do nothing for the situation.
So I don't know what to do next - any suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's some issue with the battery but I don't know what: it can sit for hours and hours in download mode to run flat without switching off but will switch off during CWM recovery and just after booting stock JB ATM.
I'm thinking I'll grab a cheapo battery off Ebay and see what happens to start with. Can anyone suggest anything else?
I'm sure You can use the phone while keeping it on constant charge. How old is your battery? This is surely a battery problem and i suggest you to buy the original samsung battery. And once you change your battery, do not overcharge the battery by keeping it for charging overnight and such ways.

It was restarting when it's plugged in to charger but I just switched it on and got past all the OS setup steps so fingers crossed. Turned off as soon as I uplugged the charger though.
Battery is original and quite old, got the device late 2011. Thanks for the advice.
Replace the battery asap with original one as if the battery is overused, it may swell up and damage the back cover. Do hit thanks if i helped
Hi all,
I've been having this problem:
The phone is charged, around 80%.
Suddenly, it reboots. There isn't a specific action that causes it to reboot, neither a message of any kind.
When it's done rebooting, the battery is lower by at least 50%, and usually it's around 5% or less.
Then it reboots again within a minute and continues until no battery is left.
Ways to temporarily solve it, so far:
connect to a charger and charge from 5%. It never rebooted while charging.
-or-
Take out the battery and turn it on only when connected to a charger. This way the battery is back to 80% or how much it was before the 1st reboot.
Ways I've tried to solve the problem permanently and didn't work (some solutions I found and tried)
Factory reset.
Putting a piece of paper between the battery and the back panel, in case the battery is loose.
Had the phone and battery connectors tested- no result
Installed an app that tells me what is the battery health- it's healthy.
Tried to understand if it happens only when phone is hot, cpu high, etc- found no pattern.
My phone has 4.1.2, unrooted.
Did this happen to anyone? any other ideas?
Put the battery on a flat surface and see if it wobbles.
Sounds like it got swollen, so it's time to get a new battery.
Same here, found a solution yet?

Hey Guys,
I'm having quite a peculiar problem with my phone lately. After being fully charged, when the battery is depleted to around 30% the phone randomly shuts off. This happens either while in the middle of using it or right after the lockscreen. When I plug in my phone it boots, and the battery is completely depleted. After trying multiple roms including Paranoid Android, CM 10.2, Stock Sense 5, Google Edition 4.3 and Slimbean the problem still persists. I honestly have no clue what is happening. My guess is either the phone isn't reading battery percentage properly or something is wacked with the power supply. Any suggestions and insight would be greatly appreciated.
So my turbo just turned 2. For the past 6 months or so been having some weird issue. I was on RR Remix for a while, then went to CM14 by BBH27 for a while, and then back to RR, and now on ComputerFreak Stock. I don't have any issue with charging the phone. Quick charge works just fine.
I have had issues where the battery will just be dead even if it was at like 50% and confirmed charging.
I thought maybe it was my stupid charger (I have another that I have yet to test) but then last night, after charging my phone before I went to bed i unplugged it. I woke up around 6:45 to find my phone once again dead. It looks like around 2 am the battery just fell. Dead. Just gone. I go and hit the power button and i got 1%. The battery graph looks as if i turned the phone off. For the most part my battery last all day 12+ hours with some good usage too.
I'm getting ready to flash back to stock now that full stock MM is out now to flash and see if that makes any difference.
For what it's worth, my Turbo would just straight up shutdown when I was on RR. And not go through the shutdown process, just crash to a powered off state. It would happen if the battery was full, low, or anywhere in between. I don't know if that's the issue you were experiencing, but I suppose it's possible.
My daughters is having the same issue.
Anyone have a solution?
I've tried clearing caches, battery recalibration, etc.
Going to see about doing a fully clean install tomorrow if she is okay with it.
When this happens and the phone just shuts down, does the battery percentage immediately jump back up when you plug in a charging cable? I was having that problem when using wireless charging a lot. It turned out be a battery calibration issue. You can re-calibrate by holding the power button and KEEP holding it when the "Power Off" dialog pops up. The phone will eventually reboot itself then leave it overnight on the factory turbo-charger.
One warning - Since the marshmallow update, performing this procedure seems to wipeout your BT connections.
