My SGT is having a strange battery percentage problem. The battery was at 95% and the unit was on flight mode last night with no apps running. This morning it was dropped to 78% (over about 6.5hrs). So I turned it off and restarted, the battery percentage was back to 94%.
For some reasons, the battery percentage is dropping way too fast until I restart the unit, it seems like android is reporting a wrong battery percentage. Or could it be the battery? Does anyone experience the same problem? Any solution? And what is the normal power consumption under flight mode for other SGT user?
I just did a hard reset (wipe cache/data and reset to factory) to see if it helps and I am not installing any apps just to keep it in stock condition.
Thanks!
Generally, about 3% lose of bettery during the whole night with mobile on, while power meter may go wrong on Android devices, for example XT701 is.

So the XT701 has the same problem? How do they resolve this?
I start to think if I should take it to Samsung for repair.
Any help guys??
Would flashing a new firmware help the situation? I am tired of rebooting the tab so often just to get the right battery percentage report.
Other than this issue, the tab is PERFECT. I just wanna get this over with and enjoy using it.
Still looking for helps.....
Galaxy Grand Quattro: battery is fine, just the prob is with the indicator
Galaxy Grand Quattro : while charging it suddenly jumps from 78% to 100% and asks to unplug the charger. When i unplug it it shows 78 or 80% back again !!! I believe that this is related to software issue. So i have done a factory reset, but no use. someone pls help if this is a known issue.. Googled abt it but dint fine anything there.. Thanx in advance.

Have u tried a different charger? It might be the charger not working as supposed. Also how old is the battery and is it an OEM? It might be old and not working right also

This is my first post here. Am kinda new to the forum
Well, i know this issue have been said over and over. But i didn't get anything out of other threads
I have my new gnote on stock ICS for 6 weeks now. It's battery drain rate was about 1 % every 5 minutes on browsing. Then one day i installed game "angry gran 2" from 1mobile market, because it said on playstore not available for ur country. And since that moment the battery went crazy. Drain 1 % every 2 or 3 minutes. I uninstalled it a day later and the problem is still there. This was about 10 days ago
I checked running apps nothing is different than normal
I dunt use face book app
I uninstalled samsung push service
GPS and location services are always off
The mobile goes into deep sleep very well no problem with that acc to CPU spy. The processor which usually works is 200 mhz then sometomes 1200 mhz
All settings since the day i bought it are set to save energy "lowest brightness, sync is off .... Etc."
Now the battery does not work notmally unless every charge i remove the battery for few minutes and put it back' i did this today before i turn off my phone battery was 92 % remived battery put it back and it's 87% ! :S
Yester day about twice after going to sleep i find batter increased 1%
Can you help me please to spot where the problem is ?
I have better battery stats but i dunt understand it
And one more question please, does having large number of apps even if not running in the background cause battery drain ?
Thanks all will greatly appreciate any help
+1 on that. My note's battery runs really fast and I'm not even using it for hardcore gaming. The battery gets really hot at times too.

update: screen shot from better battery stats
Check these screenshots from better battery stats is this rate normal ?
Hi! Once I had a similar battery issue, but in my case it was after flashing a custom rom. Battery started draining much faster than usual. And sometimes battery percentage jumped up too. Have you tried to remove/insert battery, then fully charge your phone and when fully charged run "Battery Calibration" app from Play Store? Have a feeling it's not the solution for your battery issue, maybe a long shot, but still maybe worth a try if you haven't done that already?

There's no such thing as battery calibration apps, it's a con, you just put them through a few cycles and they're fully charged, modifying the battery stats does nothing for the use of the physical battery.

That is correct. The name of the app might be misleading. It does not do anything to the battery's physical condition at all.
The problem I had was that my "battery" suddenly started to drain very fast according to the battery icon in status bar. It dropped about 1%/min during screen off, and even faster with screen on. I charged my phone to 100% about 6 or 7 times. But as soon as I unplugged the cable I had that very quick drain. I guess the battery itself had much more capacity left than shown, it is in good condition... but that didn't help me because my note turned off when the battery icon showed it was low on % and I had to start charging again. Then I ran this app, which only thing it does is to simply delete batterystats.bin file if I understand it correctly. I don't know much about these stuff, but after that the usage time of my phone is back to normal again

I just had a look at Play Store and all the apps I saw that does remove batterystats seem to need root. Probably it is a system file you can't touch without root access then Also, the battery issue you have might be caused by something else.

Well i wish it can be solved this way ... Coz other option am.gonna take is downgrading to GB then factory reset as i understood this won't brick my phone if I got it carrectly
May be it's calibration thing ... Check the attatched photo the batteru since 3 a.m. To 9 a.m. Is almost at same level or increasing .. Maybe it's some kinda of system calibratoon of battery indicator against battery fast drain while working .. I dunt know
In system settings > battery: what is reported there?
Have you tried boot in "safe mode" to see if it still drain the same way? It will exclude most of user installed stuff as your downloaded apps and such from running.
But remember you might loose some user settings on your phone when booting normal again after safe mode.

although battery calibration app does nothing to do the battery hardware, but it does calibrate on how the battery percentage is being read by your phone. It wiped your battery status, allowing 100% charged to be read as 100% charged. sometimes, due to various reason (ie. flashing without fully charging), your battery status will be inaccurately read by your phone. For example, you charge your phone upto 2000, havent completely charged to the max capacity (2500) but the phone already read 2000 as 100%. and because of this, it will look like your battery drain really fast or the percentage jumping up and down. i guess.
wiping battery status requires you to have root access. thus, this app will only work when you have rooted your phone.
it is true that after a few cycles (not sure how many times) of charging the battery status may go back normal but hey, if we can make sure to do this calibration with only one cycle, why we have to do more?

My battery is crazy. Yep in deep sleep some times it increase 1 % .... On the other hand while working with the phone it drains very rabidly at a rate 3-3.5 % per minute .... Either on wifi or not ... It's normal rate used to be 5 % per minute till the day iinstalled that game and the problem persists even after i removed it
As for the explanation in the thread ptovided it does not make sense to me .. Because every time the battery jumps up the battery drain becomes soooooo rapid afterwards

I was trying to find a way to root my phone but i can't find any data on the web ! For some reason that way of rooting tgat was on xda deleted ...
But I have a question ... I always wait rill my phone completely empty and charge it till completely full ... I leave it in the plug about an hour till the complete sign shows in notification bar
Does this mean that way that my battery is already calibrated and i shouldn't try to bother to root the phone and get the app ?

There's Dr ketans thread on rooting in the stickies of development section, it's very simple.
After 1 or two full charge cycles, the battery will recalibrate itself, no need for any app, they don't do anything anyway.

I tried safe mode .. And yeah performance is a little better though still not like before .. it bought me an extra minute per 1% drain .. So i dunt know what that says ? I checked running processes the only difference that facebook and avast antivirus dunt run in safe mode .. Which were probably always there since i got the phone nothing new..
Hello everyone, need some advice. I am unable to know if my battery is functioning normal or should i get it replaced. Please see the atached picture. You will see that my battery draining off within 4hrs with 2G data on. It has been happening from past 2 weeks. Just want to know if it is normal on 2G. Or should i get my battery replaced with a new one. I have read somewhere that with 2G battery of Galaxy Note lasts for about 6 to 7 hrs. Mine goes for just 4 hrs max.
Few details about my usage:
1. Data sync is not on all the time. But for every half an hour i keep data sync on for 30 for 40 seconds max to retrive mails.
2. I dont not watch any videos, online or on mobile.
3. I dont play games at all though i have around 20 games bcoz of this poor battery life.
4. I do not do video calling.
5. With the above usage and little bit of online videos using wifi, I get around 3 to 4 hrs of battery life.

Hello guys I'm using a Galaxy Note GT N7000 on CM10.1 with NX Kernel
Recently I've been having a problem of battery drain. Even when I have put it in charging, the phone seems to have been draining out of it. I have tried to change the USB cable and the charger both, but still the problem persists. Does this mean that it'll get solved by a new battery? or there is some other issue causing this problem? Would wiping data cache or battery stats help? If so, I'd be glad for your help! If you require any more information, let me know. Thank you..

Witch nxkernel version are u on and have tried to full wipe everything and start from scratch the other thing is if its your battery you would probably be seeing stuff like your screen flickering and then the phone shuts down after reboot you find you have 1% battery that's the normal battery signs but other then that if it is dieing when charging you would have a huge drain and a fresh start could fix also you could check some battery stats see if something is staying active and could be an app doing this as well.

Hey I tried the following:
1. I tried a brand new battery but it didn't affect anything. I still tried a few more adapters and cables, nothing.
2. I did a full factory reset and the kernel was stock Cm kernel.
Still, the problem is persisting.
The NX Kernel that I WAS using, was version 1.3.9
What else can be the problem? Thanks in advance.
What governer have u set? And have u overclocked it?

Guys, it's been for over two months since my battery began to fail.
When the phone reachs 70% of charging, it just jumps to 100%.
When the phone reachs 30% of battery, he simply turns off instantly. (Battery goes to 0%)
I already tried to left on charging for 12 hours, 24, used a lot of different wall chargers, no effect. Tried to use a different ROM, CM 11, CM 12 (unofficial), 4.2.2 stock, 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, no effect as well. Also tried to charge with the phone turned off, fail.
Is there any way to fix this without having to buy a new phone battery? Also I do not have warranty anymore.
Thanks!
Someone pls?
