Battery Decrease while Charging - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just this afternoon my phone started behaving abnormally, when I plugged it in to charge it showed Charging (AC). I kept as it is without data connection or wifi for a hour and found that though the phone is charging (even with indications on battery icon( the actual battery percentage was decreasing (From 20% to 15%). Is this kernel problem as I have King's Kernel?? Flashing stock kernel will fix it???

You had problem with data connection before? Or it was someone else?
Two things come to my mind:
1. USB connector on your phone - go to service center to fix it.
2. Battery is faulty.

If you are out of warranty then I think it will cost. Do you have data connection when you connect it to PC? If yes, then maybe battery is broken.

May not be a bettery problem

It also may be your kernel or your rom problem
Because i too used to face the same problem but after flashing to some different rom the problem seemed to be solved
you can also test your battery by different apps available
Hit the THANKS button if this helps you

When I was sami os i was also facing the same problem, people suggested me to change my battery but i changed the rom and kernel and it worked so firstly
1) I would prefer you to change your rom and kernel
If this also doesnt work then I would prefer you to change your battery!!

[Q] Is it possible to add Offline Charging to a custom ROM?

Hello there!
I recently tried a custom ROM for my X8, I'm using MiniCM7, found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964223
However, the description says Offline Charging is supported, but after I installed the ROM I noticed it didn't work.
So I started searching for a solution here in the forums, but I could only find one thread about stock firmware =/
Is there a way to add this feature in a custom ROM?
I tried to contact the thread author, but no sucess.
Thanks in advance!

When you connect the charger battery icon shows up. What's the problem?

The "problem" is that the phone ONLY charges if it's ON!
So, when I connect the charger it turns the phone auttomatically ON, if i turn it OFF it goes back on and so it goes.
The option that makes the phone charge while OFF is called Offline Charging, but it is not working, got it?
When I empty the battery, and phone turns off automaticly, it charges offline. Else it's turns back on. BTW I don't see the point why you must charge your phone offline. Just turn on Airplane mode!
Really? I thought offline charging is that when you turn off your phone, the battery would charge without being plugged in. When I reboot my phone, the battery percentage is always, like, 15% higher. I thought that was offline charging

1 - Charge to 100%
2 - Turn Off the Phone
3 - Go to Recovery Mode
4 - Wipe Battery Stats
5 - Use your phone to uncharge your battery completly
6 - Charge to 100%
And now check if that bug is still happening
If is still happening that, then... ask a friend for a X8 Battery only to see if is a bug or your battery damaged.
Well, it seems that the ROM was updated to 2.0.7 and now the Offline Charging feature is working.
Thanks for those who tried to help
MiniCM7 2.0.7 has offline charge and it working fine as I had a dead battery over a hour ago so I plug it in and 4get to turn it on I have just turned it on ten min from this post and to my eye after bootloader ect it was fully changed So MINICM7 2.0.7 HAS OFF-LINE CHANGE if you install it right that is

Baterry issue

Hello,
I've been passing for a strange issue with my GNote's battery. After I updated to ICS , I don't know if it is the reason of the problem, my battery doesn't complete the charge.
I tryed to charge to 100% with the phone turned off but immediately after it turned on the battery's indicator down to 50%. With the phone turned on, the battery seems that's not charging. Either with the phone turned on or off the process of charging is taking tooo long to complete.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
This may not be ROM or kernel problem. may the battery become defective or hardware problem.

[Q] Help! My NOTE1 wont turn on, wont charge, as in nothing at all!

My Galaxy NOTE1 (International Ver) just turned off by itself this morning. I'm pretty sure the battery did not get drained because it was still around 75% by that time. When I checked it now, it just wont turn on, no response when connected to pc, no charging notification.. nothing at all just plain dead.
It is rooted with custom ROM Ultimate Jelly Bean and SpeedModKernel.
Here are some of what I have tried:
*Removed the battery and inserted it again (did couple of times and varying times)
*Charged it hoping it just got drained
*Hit it against a table a couple of times
*Cleaned the battery terminals
*Hit it again a couple of times
Any idea what happened? :crying: :crying: :crying:
any access to recovery or download mode? Also try a battery that is charged for sure.. May be the battery just died.

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.

im ****ed because there is NO samsung official repair centre where i live and other around here the local ones are ****!
Had same problem custom kernel fixed my problem i have tab s10.5 lte battery drained from 100 to 0 in 40min
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------
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?

Its not software problem. I have flash the stock firmware and wipe everything and reset still the same. I also put custom rom also doesnt fix it. Still the same. I guess I got the defective one. Custom kernel also no use.

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

Battery 100% On, 80% Off

phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted
l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery
Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..

Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.
I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)
I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?
So... any solutions?
