After my watch shut itself down in the night, because it ran out of juice, I can't charge it anymore.
I put it on the craddle and it shows the white battery symbol for a second after ist crashes and the screen turns black again. This happens over and over again.
It seems that the watch wastes that little power it has gained while the screen was off when it tries to show the white (and therefore power draining) charging symbol.
How can I save my watch? Please help me.
Greetings and thanks in advance

Mine was sent to LG now. A week later it came back and they said it had a Walter damage and they will not repair or replace it.
I can not accept this. This watch is advertised as waterresistant. I did not even shower with the watch. It is just about a half year old.
Shame on you LG

The galaxy active s4 keeps turning off randomly in my friends pocket. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the phone or maybe it's user error. If anyone has any ideas or similar issues I would really appreciate some input.

Does this happen only in his pocket? If it is it might be that he is somehow bumping into the power button. I know my phone does that sometimes, thought not often enough to be an issue.
Yeah it is in his pocket from what he said. But it seems to be happening far to much. Also, do you ever have any signal problems with it?

Mine does the exact same thing. I found that it's due to the power button getting pressed and held down, it reboots the phone after around 10 seconds or so.
Oh and I have signal issues but that's due to my cell phone provider. When I was in Hawai'i using T-Mobile it was pretty much amazing.
Thanks for all the answers guys. I appreciate it.

been having the same issues since day 1, when I first got mine it wouldn't hold a charge, it wouldn't stay on even when it was plugged in, and it would hang during charging, usually sitting around 78-77 percent, unless plugged into an AC adapter.
Earlier, when I pulled the battery, to check the IMEI or something, I popped it back in and turn the phone on, only to find I have 3% battery left? It was at ~60 when I pulled it, it was only out for about 30 seconds and the phone was only off for about 2 minutes, if that.
Anyone else seeing battery drain with their s view cover???
I just got mine today and almost immediately felt like I started seeing excessive battery drain.
Not sure if I'm going crazy or what.

Ok. Pretty sure I'm not crazy. 37 to 34 percent in about twenty minutes with phone in my pocket with s view cover.
Put on oem back and I've gone 34 to 32 in about the same time with screen on. The

Ok, day 2 with s view cover and battery drain isn't seeming to be an issue. Not sure what to think of it.

I ran battery stats pro and better battery stats and they both found an app "mobile tracker" to be draining battery.
I got paranoid and did factory reset. Seems to be okay now and battery drain was not related to s view cover.

I have the s-view and I also noticed battery drain. I have only had it a day so time will tell if it continues.

Let me know what you see. I'm still not sure if it is or isn't draining battery.

I also noticed my battery is draining pretty fast since i got the s view cover :/ I'm not sure what to do, i don't want to master reset my device and I'm not rooted (I miss TiBu)
Is there any solution?
I have had the S view cover for months ,,,no drain ..I get 4 days off charge.,,,,

My s view original Samsung case exhibits very strange behaviour, when I plug in my charger the s view comes on for 5s then off then on for 5s then off and repeats until either I open the cover or unplug, then when cover closed again it goes through sane cycle, plus I too have massive battery drain - it is the wireless charging cover

Returned mine after the first day. It let's a little light in and screen will come on, thus draining the battery. It's junk until it gets broken in so it stays closed. Even then though it still won't stay closed enough to stop the screen from coming on randomly.

YES!
YES it is the s view ive gotten my note 3, on the first day the battery was AMAZING it lasted the whole day with the s view. But then the next day came and it started dropping, i asked my friends (they have the note 3) and they said theirs lasted sometimes 2 days!

I purchased the s-view cover that supports wireless charging. I went all out and purchased one of those hardened "real glass" screen protctors, and reading up about how the s-view doesn't quite close all the way, I also got one of those small magnetic clips that attaches really NICE to my s-view cover.
I'm telling you guys, it's the BOMB! I never ever need to actually plug my phone in anymore. I just set it on its wireless charging pad every night. The cover always stays closed, and since it's an official one, I just simply open it to turn on my phone.
never really notice any battery drain though.

Well here's my scenario. My M8 is completely stock. While doing a profile update the phone froze. After 3-4 minutes I pushed the power button. The screen shut off and that was it. Now I can't even get the little light to come on when charging it. Any ideas folks

If it is still in your 14 day period return it, other wise use htcs support
Try holding volume up and down + power, can take up to 2 minutes. If not return it.

Mine did the same thing. I had to send it to HTC. My replacement is on its way. Turnaround is about a week from the day you send it.

I'm not sure as to what happened, but in the morning about 12 hrs after it happened I put it on the charger and the light came on. It was blinking do I let it charge and now it's OK. The phone does notify me that it did an abnormal restart and that it wanted to send a report to htc.

My alarm went off as usual tismorning and as soon as I went to swipe it off, the screen cracked right where I touched. I instantly noticed the phone was incredibly hot, honestly like fire hot; the screen seemed softer than normal. The crack was more internal than external, but the phone still functioned normally. I've experienced hot phones but nothing like this before. I couldn't stand having a brand new phone with a crack.
I took it to the AT&T store right away and even though it's been more than 15 days they replaced it in store without a problem and claimed it was a manafactuar defect. They also replaced my charger wire, as that could have been the problem as well.
Has anyone else experienced overheating on this device? I love this phone but that's just ridiculous.

On my first phone, it'd incredibly hot, the battery would only last about 5 hours with light usage. The right side of the screen popped up from the bezel. Did AT&T email you a survey about why you replaced the phone? They sent me one after I did the exchange it was focused on issues with the phone.

I configured corporate email to connect to my work email server and my phone would only last about 5 hours with light usage. It got very warm but not as hot as you described. After I turned email sync off, both issues went away.

I regularly have scenarios like this.
- phone is at 27% battery
- few minutes later it beeps and shows 14%
- 30 seconds later - 5%
- few more seconds and it shuts down.
I don't run anything special and through the day it lowers steady (although 100 to 27 in 12 hours is not that great).
I run official 5.0.1 rom and never unlocked bootloader.
So is it a problem with a phone, the battery or just OS that sucks?
Anyone else having the issue?

Most likely it's the battery. Have you looked to see what is using the battery in settings?

Nothing unusual running. I think Android OS was main battery user, may be with hour and half of screen time.
In this specific instance I was running Toyota app while driving.
But similar things happened before without those factors. And mostly it worked ok in the car as well.

How many hours total on battery do you think?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I took it off charger at 7am and drops started around 6pm. It was going down evenly during this time.

Sorry I forgot that was in your OP. Did you look at the battery to see if it was hot or bulging even slightly? Personally for the $15 it takes to get a new battery, I would. Worst case scenario is you end up with a spare. I don't know how old your device (and this your battery) is, but it's not uncommon after 9+ months for them to start dying.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, it probably makes sense to get new battery. I got the phone last November or December but problem started early summer. Seems pretty short time for battery to go bad.
Thank you

It's not unheard of by any stretch. Heat will kill them fast as well. Does the phone ever get hot?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I haven't noticed it being hotter than other phones I used. Yet I carry it in external pouch so would not always feel it.
It definitely wasn't hot when battery was dropping.
More over, last time I turned it off for 3 hours at 14% and when turned it on, drop just continued and it was 5% in 30 seconds.

I got not only a new battery but a new phone and have been experiencing a similar problem. Seriously might just jump ship to the N5. Any suggestions on what else to try? I really don't want to shell out $20 for yet another battery if it's not guaranteed to fix anything. I'm running PopRocks v14 with the stock kernel. Any suggestions?
I had the exact same issue. It was from letting the battery die too often. A new battery fixed the issue 100%
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That's true. Running it down to 1% all the time definitely shortens the life. I'll try to find the article I read that interviewed battery scientists.
