I've been using a new original battery for 6 months now, but only yesterday, it seems to be acting very odd, whenever i place My finger on the usb port on the phone, it charges, and sometimes it even charges by itself then stops charging then starts charging again. however i do not believe its charging because the drain is awful as its gone down 10 % in 40 minutes. can someone please help me here. the battery and fine. and I can't check the drain on bbs as it's always charging then not, hence bbs restarts.
may be its time for a new USB charging module.. try cleaning it first...(remove battery first.)
have done, doubt thats the solution, ive noticed, that it only charges by itself when the battery is 40 percent, when the battery drains to ~20% in which it does so very quickly, from 90% to 16% in 90 minutes, the odd charging by itself stops. it may be a rogue battery i guess. going to have to try anker batteries, the originals are not that good.

anyone have anything to say about those chargers that use AA batteries, either one of them, or a couple that say they charge ur phone 2-3 times from discharged?
anyone have one that works? link it please?
is it a load of bs?
thanks
Are you referring to this:

I tried it and it didn't work. I first tried it with my battery power at 60%. I put my Mogul in sleep mode with no apps running, plugged in the charger using a fresh Duracell, and waited two hours. When I checked it, it was still at 60%. But about two minutes later it dropped to 30%. WTF!?!?! I tried it again the next day at 50%. This time the battery level stayed at 50% for a little while before dropping at a normal level. I have the 1% battery meter .cab installed. So the only thing I can really say is that it kept my Mogul battery from discharging while in sleep mode, which isn't very useful. Maybe I got a bad charger.
I ended up buying a second battery. It's actually easier to carry than the emergency charger. It's a pain to swap batteries, but I've only had to do it once. If you are runing low on battery power on a continuing basis then you'd be better off getting an extended battery.
Has anyone else experienced a problem where battery meter sticks at around 65% despite being fully charged. When soft reset it goes to 100%.
It's not a battery cell issue - battery life is fine. It's simply a meter misread.
Not that i have noticed although ill say that the battery meter on the Diamond isnt all that great...its not really a good indicator as to how long the battery has before it goes dead.
Yup, mine tends to stick at 80%. At least it did in ROM 1.35. Burned yesterday the official 1.37 and we'll see how it goes...
sometimes, mine is also doing it...still cant figure out why thou...
OK, with the new ROM, the phone connected to the PC charged smoothly from about 46% to 100%. I'll see probably tomorrow if the charger makes any difference.
How long do you find the battery takes to charge from around 15% to 100% using the power pack, not computer connection???
Hi Guys,
Does anyone has more info about this ?
When i charge my device (from charger or by PC Usb), it won't go pass 89% battery charge, therefore never warns me when it's complete.
I know it charges to 100%, so it seems to be a problem with the software.
This is quite annoying, has i never get the "Battery Charged Warning" while plugged in.
My ROM Version (Original) 1.37.410.3 PTG
Cheers and thanks.
Anyone still experiencing a flakey battery meter? Sometimes mine will read 90%. Then, within two minutes it will be down to 45%. But if I soft reset, it will go back up again. Some days it's all over the place and I actually have no idea what the battery level is.
I'm using QuickMenu. Anyone have any suggestions or similar experience?
Happened to my unit as well. It doesn't happen all the time though. Sometimes it will charge up to 100% just fine and other times it hangs somewhere between 70-90%.
I've this problem, the battery meter indicates for a lot of time the same value (eg. 98%) but if i'll reset the phone i can see the real value (eg. 45%)
it's very strange

depends on what current the powerpack is supplying, it will probably be either 500mA (0.5A) or 1A. Obviously the higher the current the quicker it will charge.
A PC USB connection can provide 500mA maximum, where as a mains carger will supply 1A or 2A (think its 2A if you have a proper Diamond charger).
A car charger will vary, when the engine is off you will get 1A if you are lucky. With the engine running you will get 2A, but during the engine starting you can get a peak of up to 5A (phone killingly good).
All of these measurement can vary!
i have the same issue, too
yes. my battery meter is incorrect, too. exact same behaviour as you mentioned. 65% -> after reset 100%. nearly all the time. that's very bad, because my battery lives about 1 day without charging and in the evening i don't know how full or how empty my battery is. sometimes the remaining 8 % are real 8 % and sometimes (after a restart again) the shown 8 % are more then 30 %.
I've tried about 6 roms and get the same thing with all of them. It happens infrequently but is still annoying. Basically, if I'm suspicious of the battery level, I soft reset to verify.
it's "normal" that behaviour, because also battery check is made by OS (WinMobile) at prestabilite polling times, search in the registry for "batterypoll" and you'll see a value expressed in seconds (I suppose they are secs), try to lower those values and see what happens, of course shorter polling times drain battery faster

Any solve for this now?
I also have this problem, sometimes only but still very anoying.
A soft reset seem to be the only solution at the moment.
It happen to me always too!
It was 40%, after I played Monopoly games for 1 hour, it still showed about 39%. When I soft-reset, now it show only 25%. What a huge drop!
im also getting this problem.. anyone has gotten a solution to this yet??
Maybe worth a try.

I think that why TF3D doing reset during night while charging...
I disable TF3D every night, so no reset at night but as side effect sometimes battery does'nt arrive to 100%
My diamond has sometimes the same behavior. The battery gauge sometimes showes only 50 percent or so and after a soft reset it showes full. I had this issue a few months ago, too. The the battery gauge showed correct values and now I have the same issue again.
I am pretty sure it is some kind of a software problem, but I have no idea which software disturbs the battery gauge. I had this issue never with my touch, but only with the diamond. I anyone has suggestions ülease let me know! Thank's a lot.
So I think i found an issue with this case.
I was at 35% battery on my phone and the case was at 1 light. I plugged in the charger at night hoping to charge both the internal battery and the case to 100% when I woke up. The phone was on charge for about 7 hours, which is more than enough to charge both internal and external battery.
I woke up to the phone battery being at 65% and the Zerolemon with the 4 light blinking.
What I think happened is this: At 4 AM my phone got charged to 100% (this was confirmed in the battery settings) , but because the charge is being relayed/passed through the the zerolemon battery, the zerolemon battery disconnected the charge when the internal battery reached 100% as it is designed to do to avoid overcharging the battery. After the disconnect, the internal battery began to discharge at its normal rate and when I woke up at 730, the battery was at 65%.
I'm not sure why the Zerolemon battery wasn't fully charged with 4 solid lights, isntead the 4th light was blinking.
Can anyone shed some light on this behaviour? If this is normal case, then I don't think I can ever get 100% charge on my battery overnight as the zerolemon will always disconnect the charge when the internal battery reaches 100%?
I don't have this case...But if your phone was discharging at it's "normal rate", and was at 65% when you woke up after it charged to 100%, you have a serious issue.

I've got this case, and haven't had this problem, but I will keep an eye on it. That seems weird. Your battery shouldn't have dropped that much in such a short period of time anyway. Try leaving your phone unplugged overnight without the case on it and see if the battery drains that badly in its own. This would at least let you know if the case is causing the problem or your phone is.

Agreed, I'll do another test tonight without the case to see what the discharge is without the case. I did go through 4 alarm clocks during the 4am to 730am period, but i agree the battery drain is excessive for 3.5 hours of no use other than alarm clocks.
I really hope the case isn't causing any battery drain when its not charging the phone.

I've never let the phone on without a charger overnight, so i have no way of knowing for sure if it was the zerolemon case or normal battery drain even if excessive.
I'll do more tests to find out.
I also have the case, and like the above commenters, I haven't had this problem. My best thought would be that the connection from the case to the phone is faulty, or not totally secure. Maybe take everything apart and reconnect it. Hopefully that does the trick
Hi,
We checked the issue with our engineers. It should be the phone itself which drains the battery . Below is the battery how to work. 1. Plug the battery case with your note 5 in it to wall with original charger 2. cell phone itself will get charged to 100% first(battery meter will show 100%),then it will be switched to charge the external battery until the indication lights are 4 solid lights which proves the external battery is fully charged. 3. After the 2 steps, your cell phone battery meter may drain to 95% or 90% it all depends. Your cell phone will get charged again to 100%. 4. All charging completed.

Tried all above steps. Battery connection is secure, all four lights are solid on. Phone is at 100% then drains during day without the zerolemon battery taking over and charging. I'm about to send it back unless the manufacturer has other suggestions. This should be dead simple..... but I'm not getting a charge.
The Note 5 has a HUGE battery drain issue that is model driven. AT&T note 5 will lose a HUGE amount of battery overnight and this is due to AT&T being the worse coders in the world.
I have the 8500 mah zerolemon battery case. .for me , the charging of the battery case takes a longer time indeed. Close to 15-16 hrs to charge it fully. Not sure if its the same for everyone or this should charge quicker. Would it make a difference that bought this case in USA, and using now in India?

I've had a few Zerolemon cases. Here is how they seem to work:
1. The charging passes through to the phone until the phone's internal battery hits 100 percent.
2. The case starts charging itself, ignoring the phone, until the case is at 100 percent. Depending on how much battery drain you have with your ROM and kernel, this may cause the internal phone battery to drop by 30 percent or even a little bit more.
3. Once the case is at 100 percent battery, it will charge the phone back up to 100 also.
It's not perfect, but it normally charges both my case and phone fully overnight. In cases where both were really close to dead, I've charged them separately and this seems to be quicker. Any microUSB charger is fine for the battery case, since it doesn't support rapid charging anyway.
Also, if you disconnect the charging cable and reconnect it, even for a split second, the case will go back to step 1.
It feels obvious that the case should be able to charge itself and the phone at the same time, but it seems not to be possible. And having used (and hated) a Mophie case that claimed to have that feature, I can tell you that just because the manufacturer claims the case can charge itself while it's also charging the phone, that isn't necessarily true.
Have we found that alarms will cause a problem? Mine will cease all charging at night. trying to figure out. I'll wake up with 20% down on phone(from start of charge) and single light on case blinking. After 6 hours+.
Note5, 8500mA case.
I used to use the case with no problem. The overnight charge was always sufficient for both, phone and zerolemon charge bank. This morning I got 43% and only one light blinking after the overnight charge.
Prior to that I was "playing" with some battery apps, installing, trying, uninstalling. IS IT POSSIBLE that any app can change setting to make zerolemon battery not to be charged or else?
Hello, lately I can not charge the battery more than 98% and in some cases 97%
I already use the method to calibrate the battery but it continues the same.
Only if I disconnect the charger and reconnect it reaches 100%
Any solution?
In my case the same thing happens.
I have not found a solution yet.
Charging it off turns it 100%, turning it on 98% and then on to 100% again.
in 5 minutes it goes down to 96%, and then the battery is safe.
I have a good time to use the battery, since I stayed 18 hours away from the charger.
Hello. I found some interesting problem? in my XZ1C. When i charge battery to 100% on turned on phone till full charge and next shut down without unplugging charger it indicates 88% and keep charging to 100!. I thought my battery slowly dies. Now i see it is about 12% more potential in it xD.
I run Havoc 4.6 maybe that is the reason. I wonder if you faced the same problem and know how to fix it. Charging on shutdown phone is a little bit irritating.
Perhaps this is such a case where the device manufacturer protects the battery from harmful charging to full.
