Extreme battery drain

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?

Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.

did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?

I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...

Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...

Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.

I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D

Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Why can't I get a 100% charge?

When I charge my phone it reaches 99% and it remains there it never reaches a 100% charge.
And my led notification is always red never goes green.
Did anybody else notice this?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Maybe you are using 3rd party application like Battery Motifier in which the settings of battery full is only set to 99%. I am using this application for charging my phone then this app notifies me once it was fully charge using a sound notification. Try to check your applications installed to your phone maube you have same kind of application or the likes... hopefully it helps

Haven't installed anything out of the ordinary that would cause this.

I know for some Samsung devices they don't charge all they way. It is a measure used to save the battery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

My one did this but it was because I was using a Samsung charger (don't want to open charger or headphones in case of resale) so I tried my HTC one X charger and it went back to100%.

I am using supplied charger, didn't see 100% yet.. But will see later on..

I had to get an exchange for my first handset. It had major gaps, and battery never fully charged.
It seems it was due to a dodgy battery. Even if the phone was left on charge for 10 hours it still wouldn't fully charge, turned on or off.
If it gets really hot while trying to charge after 98% it may be the same thing, and you should possibly ask for an exchange, or get it checked out.

How do you know the battery is at fault?
Sent from a pizza..

Why not let the phone discharge until it shuts off, then try to completely charge it from empty. I had an atrix once that would only charge to 99 after most Rom installs until I did this. Always figured it was a battery calibration thing.

Interesting fact, Lithium-ion polymer batteries do not charge to 100% capacity by design. They are actually quite difficult to charge correctly (in the electrical engineering sense, it's still plug and charge for the end user) and it is not worth the additional hassle to get to a "true" full charge. What the phone reports as 100% is only 2-3% off of the theoretical max capacity so in practice the difference is not noticeable.
It's hard to say if this effect is whats responsible for what you're seeing, but it could be related. Another possibility is that you simply haven't let it trickle charge long enough to report 100%. The last few % charge of any phone battery is going to go at a much slower rate compared to 20-90% for example. Really the only thing you can do is the somewhat standard advice to get a full discharge/charge cycle in to let android re-calibrate itself.

this is normal, it eventually does it,m dont worry about it
sometimes if i use the phone whilst its on charge it turns green
im not bothered, 99% is good enough for me it trickles down at the end really slowly
even 95% is good enough i usually unplug it at 95

I had the same thing when I got my phone, I was using a cheapo micro usb charger that did not have the beans to charge the one.. it got to 99% always.
Switched to proper one with phone and voila green light & 100%
For the record an iPad 3 (aka "new" iPad) charger works if you swap the USB cable also.

I am using the charger that came with the phone, and it has been an hour on 99%, any advice? To the ones who reached the 100% mark, how long did you leave it at 99%?

Happened to me too, with stock charger.
Finally got it to completely charge. I let it discharge to 2 percent than charged it with the touchpad charger. Most probably the first step isn't required. The charger outputs 2A. Will try other chargers including pc usb..

Let me know how it works ok... Seems like maybe its a stock charger issue...or maybe i just need to let it discharge to less than 2% most i ever let it down to was 9%...keep me updated please...

i had that problem on my s2 with some custom roms. it would charge to 100% if i unplugged it rebooted and plugged it back in. also it went away after 1 or 2 battery cycles

Reboot device when at 98/99%, then it will show 100% for some reason.

I let my battery run dry and now phone won't charge.

So my phone turned off from being out of battery and now it won't charge. I was able to power it up again for a few minutes and it was not charging and there was some error that said something like "Phone won't charge, please use stock charger". What do?
Update: I charged it overnight while off and it was able to charge back to 100%. However, it is still unable to charge while it is on or off (for a short amount of time plugged in at least). Not sure if letting it sit for hours like when I charged it overnight would work.

Just keep it plugged to the charger. Some time when the battery is really dead, it takes a while for it to get charge and turn on the device. Try it. If it still doesn't work, send it in.

Plug it in using the charger and cord that came with it. Leave it plugged in for a hour. Orange LED will come on eventually well hopefully.

Don't calibrate the battery again.

Cyanogenmod with Zerolemon Battery 9300 (inquiry)

Just curious how many days your getting out of the battery for those running Cyanogenmod which seems to already have a very good battery. I'm a sucker for things that can keep me going, and I've pretty much made the decision to grab the battery with the nice case offered.
I have tried already searching Google and the long Zerolemon battery thread but couldn't find anything relevant.

Been using this 9300 battery for a few weeks. I do use my Bluetooth to a small speaker at work for about 9 hours a day and I am still getting 2 full days. That is as long as I fully charge it. If I unplug as soon as my indicator says 100% then it drains pretty fast. Without using the Bluetooth for that time period I am curious how many days it will go. I either use cyanogenMod or aosb probam

I charge mine for 24 hours with my trickle charger, my battery seems to last 5 days when I do it that way with heavy use as well.
In the mean time I put my stock battery back in. :good:

Wow I'm having the same problem. My phone would charge to full in less then 2 hours. I have 10,00mah btw. I see that its at a 100% and I see now what's going on. Do you know any trick to calibrate the battery to cyanogen? I'm using a note . I found this doing a quick search for the same problem. Thank you!

I'm using the same... full charge time 28-30 hrs.. use 3 stock batteries in between. Battery lasts 2-5 days depending on use. Will last for weeks if hibernating and just using occationally for phone calls/ texting.
I ignore almost all app permissions, disable wifi, gps, bluetooth, google aps, and only enable when needed. Stop almost everything from running in the background except phone/messaging/alarm (settings, keyboard). No sync, email notifications etc. etc
Using a quick charge 2.0 wall and car charger when I need a fast charge or just plug in while using battery draining apps like gaming, internet, movies.
*Go into Shift Tools and bump the usb charging input all the way up! Turn the phone off and super quick charge! Not recomended by the manufacturer. I do it all the time with no problems yet. Must have a usb charging cable with shortened pins, not a data cable.

"
Shift Tools" comes with the Cyanide L Rom and Shift Kernel by Brett Rogers (rogersb11).
For a SUPER FAST charge use 2.0 car or wall charger and usb charging cable (not a data cable).
Open system settings, scroll down to shift tools, open shift tools, swipe over to "charge control", go down the list turning everyrhing all the way up make sure you scroll to the very bottom and turn on " ignore 100mA safety margin and "ignore unstable power detection!!
Then turn display brightness all the way down, put phone into airplane mode or turn off phone.
I only use this when I need a quick charge and do not leave this charging past 100%... enjoy.

How to Fast Charge N7000

I'm using a newly bought battery and original charger still my phone take 4 hours to charge full I'm using pa rom even on stock it take 4 hours how to fix it?????

Ain't that normal? What's the capacity of the battery?

There's no official fast charge ROM support available for Galaxy Note.
You can increase the charge speed my optimizing your battery performance. Most Samsung phones take 3-4 hrs for charging depending on the phone state.
Make sure you clear all apps before keeping your phone for charging as any running app can eat up the battery. Look up for any suspicious apps which may be eating up battery.
Use CPU spy to make sure that your phone is going imto deep sleep while charging, if not there's a malicious app which is keeping up the phone awake or there's problem with the ROM you're using.
Also check that your phone is not getting heat up while charging, as it could mean a great power loss which could highly affect the charge time.
If nothing works try changing ROM.
Or at the last case if you are a regular ROM chamger then try to clear up battery stats through some app available from play store which requires root.
One more issue which I once encountered was with my charger cable being faulty( although no signs of physical damage) and I changed it with a locally bought cheap cable and miraculously my phone stopped heating and charged faster.
The more you care for your device, the better it gets.
Hope I have helped you.

I checked my 2 Notes, max current it draws is limited by the charging circuit. Seems no kernel can change that value in the Note.
It charges max at 1 Amp, no matter if you attach it to a charger that can deliver like maybe 1000 Amps, the max current is 1 Amp.
That 1 Amp is also until it reaches about 90% ... since Li-Ion is very picky and actually dangerous when overcharging they slow it down.
It's a statement that I hear often in the wrong context : I bought a new battery and it takes very long to charge. Actually that is a sign that the battery has a big capacity. You can only take what you give.
Of course the charger and cable are very important. I would advice everyone to buy one of those usb charger doctors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451375
