Like many others I was experiencing weird battery issues. It would jump 5% increments within seconds. I'd have 46% turn on a movie and 2 minutes later it would shut off. I tried every app fix in the play store as well as different kernels and ROMs. During this issue I broke the screen sent it in for repair and they said they'd fix the draw problem. All they did was Chang the data cable. I got it back and it was worse than before. Before I sent it in I ordered a replacement battery and decided as a last attempt to fix the problem I installed it. Believe it or not I'm now getting 8 hrs sot. I watch the battery meter expecting it to change but it stays on the same number for at least 15 minutes. Hers a screen shot of halfway through a cycle. Also when I go to sleep i wake up to find the battery meter is on the same number as when I went to sleep. Finally it seems all I needed was a new battery. Hope this helps others
Can't get the screenshot to load gets stuck on processing but these are the stats
50% used in 21h
Screen on time 4 hrs 6 minutes
Well congrats you got it fixed, too bad you had to spend your own money to buy a battery. You would think that would be covered under warranty?

Bought it on eBay lol. Even with the cost of the battery I'm still way under msrp. I know a lot of ppl have been frustrated with this tab and its horrible battery issues
you can try *#0228# several time to solve battery issues.

I heard batteries are never covered. but I guess if you can prove it's defective from factory, they might change it.

I bought the tab online the battery I bought from batteryship.com for $35 comes with free toolkit which was awesome. They even have a walk through video on yt. B4 the most I'd get was 2.5 hrs sot now I'm getting over 8hrs I can't kill it videos gaming nothing. I know a lot of times batteries are just rebranded but its funny Samsung's OEM is crap and aftermarket is quality. IMO its definitely the battery.

Depending on the countries legislation, a manufacturer can't really decide a certain component isn't covered under warranty. If a device is warranted for 12months from defect then so are all of its components.

Samsung covers batteries but I think they know exactly what's causing this issue they just don't want to absorb the cost of changing out all these batteries.

The only thing that Samsung do not cover is loss of battery capacity - they do cover faulty batteries for 1 year.
How do you prove that the battery is faulty?
I have been getting erratic battery performance also, how do you prove that the battery is defective?
I was just having a look to price a battery for my T800, I found one on ebay uk at an amazing price with free shipping.

I just bought a Tab S 10.5 yesterday as a replacement for my Nexus 10 who's battery is almost useless. Right now you simply can't find N10 batteries so depending on how long you plan to hold onto your Tab S, buying a replacement now may be a good investment even if it is only used to increase its resale value down the road.

Battery Experts say that you should not buy extra li-ion battery`s that you are not going to use, like a spare battery that you alternate with the one that came with the phone, camera, ect.
As as soon as an li-ion battery comes off the production line it will start to age if it is used or not, so you might buy a replacement battery, and put it into storage and 3-5 years later you come to put it in your tablet, but find that 50% of the battery`s capacity has been lost.
If you really abuse your battery and it dies within 6 months to an year it might be worth buying an replacement then, but only if it`s a really really good never to be repeated price, or you are in a country that you cannot get a warranty repair.

How do you dial on a wifi tablet?
another battery problem
I have 2 tab s8.4 to play with.... mine was bronze my sister has the white one... both t705... on my tab i am not having any battery problem but with my sister At first it was having erratic battery issue... i opened it re attached the battery and problem fixed she had longer time to use the tab.. it could go on for more than 12 hrs.. now she used a power bank to charge her tab for only about 10-15 mins because she needed it and while we were eating out.. A day passed her tab is experiencing the similar erratic battery.. from 45% down to 20% then restared it 36%.. what seems to be the problem?? Should i reopen the tab?
The same issue is with my tab s 705. Battery goes to 4% from 100% in 25 mins. Shuts down & when restarted it show 74%, but again behaves the same way with different %. Mediaserver also runs a lot, i have not rooted tab s.

Try reattaching the battery and fully drain then fully charge it then ×#0228#... worked for me
I just returned my tablet for this same exact issue was playing Hearthstone on it after 35 days of having the device all of a sudden it was dropping from 100% to dead in 45 min. After it turned off I would turn it back on and it would be at 75% battery. It would then die in about 20-30 min again and when i turned it on it would be around 40% and so on and so on until it actually hit 0%.
Things I tried before I returned it:
- Full discharge and Charging while the device was on on a slow charge
- Full Discharge and slow charging while device off
- Battery Calibration
EDIT:Thing specific to my use.
- The device was ALWAYS charged with a 1amp anker backup battery/ charger over night
- The device was plugged in to a belkin quick charger 2amp most of the day while at work
- The device was always charged with a 2amp standard Samsung charger when at home and needed a cap off
I did not try the dial trick or opening the devices up because of how new it was. Can I ask why would using the ×#0228#... Do anything for the battery this seems to be a misreported battery capacity that is coming directly from the battery. I could see the reconnect doing something I just don't understand how ×#0228# could do anything for the issue being displayed.

This definitely seems to be a connection with battery, or calibration issue. I have no idea what that number does so... yeah. When you play a youtube video or some sort, does the battery drops still happen when just playing a video? The last thing I can think of is type that number in and see what happens. If the problem still persist, I'd suggest you take your tab back

Mine is already returned I am picking up the replacement in store today. I was with in my 45 day grace period wasn't going to go crazy with it. If I had seen the ×#0228# suggestion before returning it I would have done that to but I didn't. I hopped in this thread in the hopes of helping others who weren't as lucky as to be with in the grace period for return and repurchase brand new.
Not looking forward to re-customizing my tablet when I get it. No root(for warranty reasons i don't root till it expires......LIKE this one I am in now) = fun adding all the accounts back!
I got my S6 Active 2 days ago, it came with around 60% battery, which of course I burned to the ground messing with the phone. I left it charging overnight (first full charge) so yesterday morning it was at 100%. I used the phone for quite a bit during the day, didn't charge it at night so this morning it was at 40% when I woke up. So, summarizing, in around 24 hours the battery went down 60% with moderate use (around 4h 30m SOT).
The weird thing happened today. For some reason, the battery has been going down much faster. In around 5h, with pretty light use, it's gone down 27%, with around 40m SOT. I haven't installed anything new, changed any significant setting, anything...
Don't get me wrong, 5h SOT is pretty good, but I'm just curious if this is something that has happened to someone else, maybe a problem with my battery, or maybe I just need to give it more charging cycles? I've attached a couple screenshots of battery usage from before starting to charge it again, and another one while charging it for a bit because I forgot to include the usage of other apps. I can see how Google Play Services is second after Screen, very close, while yesterday I believe it wasn't as close... maybe that's the problem? I'm not sure why it would do that though, like I said I haven't changed or installed anything this morning...
Thanks in advance for any input!
Use it for a few days before you freak out about how long the battery lasts. AoN

Yeah I'm aware of the need to wait a few charging cycles, it's just that I've never seen a battery behave like that. I'm not really bothered by how long it lasted, it's more about how there was such a sudden drop in its charge for no apparent reason. Thanks for the reply though
I know Samsung claims the usb port is waterproof but I am telling you right now DONT get water in that port, itll **** it up..
I was naive and thought this was the best ever....until I got water in that hole... i made a thread about it.. its beyond ****ed up we should sue for false advertisement.
Perhaps you got a defective unit? I've had mine in the pool, taken underwater pics, etc. and have no issues. Although I did let it dry out for a couple of hours before plugging it in again.
i updated my post, that may be the issue..letting it dry longer...
but im a distance runner and in the heavy rain i never had a problem, i even dunked it in the sink and it worked.. ive had this phone a month and it was great up until yesterday...however..it seems to be fine now.

I have had mine in the ocean as well as the pool almost a dozen times and haven't had any issue as of yet. I use the Qi charger so I don't think drying is an issue at all.
If you plan on it regularly getting wet, it may be worth investing in a Qi charger.
I never use the USB cable. I always use a Qi charger never had trouble after being in rivers and rain. Using USB only scratches up the phones USB port anyway lol.
i have a QI charger but never use it
I recently sold my phone and got my friends old Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile) and immediately started flashing TWRP and a custom rom on it. Now, I've noticed that something fishy was going on with the battery percentage because once it starts to go below between 30% - 20%, it'll immediately cut off and triggers a bootloop until the phone's battery drains. Sometimes when it shows me a low battery notification at 15%, it shoots to 11% right after. I don't get it, is it possibly the battery being defected or the phone itself cause I had a Black Note 4 (under the same network) and it NEVER had these kind of problems and was using the same exact roms (on the proper baseband and kernel). If anyone could explain why this is happening and could give me a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Defective Note 4?
Hello, my father has a note 4, it's 1 year old, and 6 months ago, we got a new battery from Amazon, and it dies at 14% exactly, and when you charge it. It boots up at 14%, but again when removed from charger, it dies at 14%. Not to sure what to do... Old battery does the same I'm pretty sure.
until your phone dies.
After being rooted and debloated and functioning flawlessly, my Note 8 died last night after literally 6 months. While the battery was low, I'm not sure it was so low it would crash and shut down, not returning to life again after several known attempts to revive it.
So, after looking at the Big Internet Thing, it appears this is rather a notable issue associated with the Note 8, with phones crapping out around 6-7 months. Pardon the pun.
While I am receiving another from Verizon tomorrow, I'd advise you keep track of your warranty and pay attention to how your device continues to perform, particularly around charging issues and battery health.

Mine is 8 months old, battery health was 93 when i bought it, today its jumping around 91-89 currently 91.35 . Never let your phone discharge below 20 as it is seen happening...
I have my phone since 22th Nov 2017, so, it is almost 1 year old, and the battery behaves exactly as day one, obviously it must have aged, but, I have never let it drop below 15%, only on rare ocasions I have charged it to 100%, and, what I consider really very important, I have not used fast charge
I installed accubattery just to check the "battery health" , it reports 92%
Update Nov 19th 2018
Now batt health is 96%
I think it's a serious engineering flaw if it malfunctions when charging under 20%.
I also read that one trick that might work is to use wireless charging AND USB charging at the same time.

Been using my N950N since I got mid March and it has been working like a dream. Touch keyboard that I won't experience this issue.
No issue had mine a year
I bought my phone about 1.5 years ago or so, the warranty has obviously expired. A few nights ago, I noticed that the phone drained rather quickly, I still had over 50% battery, the next morning at 6:30 AM, the phone had switched off due to low battery, which was unusual as this phone can easily last a day and a half on full charge.
I noticed that the phone was heating, I put it on charge and slept, I woke up at 8:30, about two hours later and found the phone at 98% charge.
The phone drained again by 1 in the afternoon, and it was heating like crazy. I went to the service store, they told me that the issue was in battery and that it would cost me INR 2800 to have it fixed. The next day, they ran some 'software' and diagnosed the phone, they came to a conclusion that it was the processor that was heating which resulted at the phone battery draining quickly and charging slowly.
They cannot repair the processor and replacing it will cost me well over 25,000 INR.
I have tried contacting Xiaomi team and they have refused to replace the processor free of cost, I think that isn't a good treatment of their loyal customers, after-all the 11T Pro is a premium segment phone and this issue happened in first 1.5 years of buying the phone.
Is there anyone else who has come across this particular problem? If so, is there a solution to it?
Not much to do.
The price of the motherboard is exorbitant.
