Morning,
since a few months i occasionally have this problem. My phone is charging slooooooooow and i get a message somewhat like: your phone is using too much energy to charge, try closing apps blabla.. (freely translated from Dutch, sorry). Sometimes this happens when im going to sleep. I dont notice its not charging normally, i go to sleep but when i wake up the phone is turned off and charging while turned off. This way, the alarm won't go off either and this may lead to some problems sometime in the future I didn't happen yet when i had an appointment or something fortunately.
First i thought it was a rom problem but whatever rom i'm on, the problem keeps occuring every now and then. Just last night my phone was at 2% and it said that it needed 1 day and 13 hours more to charge This morning i just let the phone die and now it's charging while its turned off. It seems to charge somewhat faster now.
I read different topics on this subject but there wasnt really an answer to this problem, most of them just updated or changed rom and the problem was fixed. I'm wondering, is this a battery problem maybe? Or maybe my charger is malfunctioning? I hope someone experienced this before and found a solution.
Thanks in advance!
So after 2 hours of charging it was on 47%. I thought lets try to connect it to my computer: suddenly its on 69% Then i got a message to connect to original charger cause this will take longer to charge etc.. so i plugged it back in the wallcharger and its on 67%.. Wtf is happening
edit: Its charging to 66% now LOL

The last few weeks something weird has been happening to my kaiser.
As usual, at night before bed I go to plug in my kaiser to charge and i wait to make sure the orange light turns on and i go to sleep... but past few weeks when i wake up the battery has not charged at all.
I have to remove the charger and re insert it again and wait to see if the battery status bar goes up a few percent before i can go to sleep to make sure that its charging.
When it does charge it works fine but sometimes it just doesn't charge at all and when i have a late night im too lazy to wait for it to charge a little while so i can see if it actually is charging.....
anybody else having this problem?
havent installed anything lately (no car chargers or anything either)
sometimes i get the same issue on mind don't have answer
hmmm... been playing around with a bit but cant seem to find what may have happened
Hello guys!
In these last few days i've experienced a strange "bug" on my phone using a JVK portuguese custom rom: I charge the phone overnight, and i leave it on the wall charger for a few hours after the full charge until i wake up and get up...
However, in these last days, when i remove the phone from the charge, the battery drops instantly, yesterday to 75%, today to 85%,as if, when it reached 100%, stopped charging and didn´t mantain battery near full charge...
I have NoLed, wich drains battery when is on for a long time, but the phone is connected to the wall charger, so it shouldn't drain...
Anyone with similiar problem?
Thank you.

i got the same exact problem as you.. be it jv1/jvk.. even for official jvb
infact it discharge faster then usual.. becoz the phone didn't really go into deep sleep mode while charger was plugged in.
I noticed this as well, for me turning wifi off when charging stops the issue.

Weird thing...
Thanks, I will try this tomorrow...
But do you think it stops the issue or, because the wifi is off, it sucks less battery, thus leaving to thing the bug is resolved?

Hi,
I have recently moved to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (JVS) on Galaxy S. I am now facing a strange battery issue: Whenever I put the phone on AC power it charges to 100% but then stops charging and never restarts it unless I manually unplug and replug the cable.
If I unplug it 1 hour after I hear the full-charge beep it will show 98%. Not much of a problem.
But last night I used WLAN hotspot, which drains a lot of battery. I plugged the phone to provide enough power. At one point I heard the full-charge beep. 2 hours later when I unplugged it it showed 27%! Why didn't it restart charging if the battery was nearly flat?
I never had this issue with Froyo.
What could be the problem here?

You not searching a bit before posting is the problem
Don't mean to be rude or anything but there is a huge thread going on and several others were also made talking about this. Long story short:
- any gingerbread samsung rom (and all based on) in SGS has this major bug you've just experienced since day one.
- Samsung doesn't care to correct it even if they have released lots of updates that don't actually fix anything major like this. And they even have the gal to tell people they won't bother with ICS on our phone when they never got around fixing bugs this serious on their current release.
- there's no fix i'm aware of, don't bother changing kernels or anything else. Some people say changing your USB settings to MTU (kies compatible) work. I've personally tested it doesn't.
- Workarounds: either you charge your phone while it's off or you change your phone's rom to one that's not samsung related like cyanogen, miui or ICS.
Yeah!!! I have the same Problem too bro !!! But not just 27% ,I was watch video on YouTube until midnight and than unplug it.Suddenly My phone turned off by it's self. (Sorry for my bad English)

Ok, so I have had no issues at all since buying this phone at launch, and this randomly happened yesterday.
I was on my phone and checked the battery info as I do a few times a day, just to see what's using my battery the most, SoT, etc. I was at 87%, which was about right as it has been off the charger a few hours with some light use. A few hours later I noticed my actual battery icon was exactly the same, no drainage at all. I viewed my battery info, and the line was flat for a few hours and still said 87%, which is very inaccurate as I've been using it during those few hours. If I had to guess, I was realistically around 60-70%. Then, while looking at my battery info, it said 'battery critically low' and shut off. I plugged in the charger and the animation when the phone is off said 0%. I left it plugged in for like an hour, and turned it on and it still said 0%. I unplugged the charger and it immediately died. I was on pop rocks ROM when this happened. I then plugged it back in, because the phone would function as normal as long as the charger was plugged in. I booted into recovery and restored an old stock backup, even after that I'm having the same issue. I downloaded a stock ROM from here, wiped everything like normal, same issue. Here's the frustrating part -- I chalked it up to this battery being bad. But I have two batteries, and the other one I hardly ever use, but I've used it before and it was fine and normal. I put that battery in, I'm having the same stupid issue! I don't understand, no matter what ROM or batter I use, this is happening. This is so frustrating, I don't know what to do or why this is happening. The phone will not charge at all. Please, anyone I would greatly appreciate help. I searched for issues like this on Google and here but it's usually chalked up to a bad battery, but I know that's not the case here. I couldn't find the option in TWRP, so I downloaded 'battery calibrator' app and wiped my battery stats, still didn't help. Below is a link to picture of what it looks like when I charge it, it just stays like this. I've done it with fast charging on, off, and with the phone completely off, same result.

Edit- One thing that was weird that also happened, was after I restored stock and then rebooted, I unplugged the charger and during the whole 'android is upgrading' thing where it shows the number of apps and such, the charger was unplugged and the phone stayed on for that entire duration. Then once it finished the upgrading thing, it immediately died. That is incredibly strange. Also someone mentioned maybe it's the charger plug in area not working properly, but that doesn't explain a battery going from ~70% to 0 instantly, and the phone not recognizing a charged battery and showing 0% even unplugged.
Also, in addition to everything above, even though I'm certain it's not a battery issue, I bought another official Samsung battery just because I really don't want an 800 dollar paper weight, and I know the battery was somewhat charged when I got it, and I put it in and have the exact same issue. I also just flashed stock firmware via Odin, same issue. I was able to do all of that with my USB plugged in -- but as soon as I unplugged it the phone turned off. This is so frustrating, I can't explain how much I would appreciate help, and maybe even send some money via Paypal for an answer to a fix.
Does anyone have any idea? Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have heard maybe it's the charging port on another site, but that would only explain it not charging, not the sudden and instant drainage of two batteries that were both over 60%. I would really appreciate any suggestions.
It could just be something wrong with the phone itself. Bring it to a tmobile store.
Well I'll leave the question (striked) below, but my phone decided to make me look crazy. Been testing on and off for 5 hours today after noticing it yesterday. Minutes after posting this question it is no longer doing it . . .
Hopefully it is nothing major, and it was just something that is supposed to happen under certain circumstances.
Thanks
On the lock screen it says charging slowly whenever it is connected to the charger now. I thought it might be the new battery optimisation as I dont remember it doing that before, so turned it off and still says the the same thing and seems to be fairly slow at charging. While the phone itself is turned off it seems a bit faster but I cant be certain.
Can anyone else confirm if their lock screen says charging slowly while connected to a (stock) charger, with the new battery optimisation turned off?
Or if not does anybody know what the problem might be?
Thanks
