Hi Guys,
I have bought my Galaxy note GT N7000 more than an year ago. I still consider myself as a newbie to android and I still have Gingerbread 2.3.6 on my GT N7000.
Everything was working fine until recently the battery was draining a bit more quickly than usual. Charging to 100% is also very fast taking only 45-60 mins. Normally it would take 2-3 hours previously. I observed this odd phenomenon only a month ago. It was the time when I download many GO Locker themes free using GETJAR. Please note that I downloaded many apps that GETJAR asked me download and I downloaded apps only from Playstore. It was also during this period that I put a Transcend Micro SDHC 16GB class 4 card into my GT N7000. I also have tried removing many apps that got via GETJAR but still the battery drain issue is present
Today I was hearing music and playing temple run, When the battery levels goes below 30%, the screen begins to flicker. However I ignored this and continued playing and the flickering frequency was increased and there was constant flickering when the charge was around 15% and finally when the charge was around 11% the phone was powered off automatically. Even I tried to power on, it would not come and then I have to remove the battery for a few min and placed it back and powered the device and only then it was powered on.
I'd appreciate, if anyone could let me know how to troubleshoot these issues. Please note that I don't want to factory reset my GT N7000 as I want to retain all my apps as well as Games data without rooting.

K.Ramesh Karthik.

+Whiskeyjack4855 - Thanks for the reply. Are you sure about it? Because one of colleagues told me that it could be due to a huge number of app that I have installed on my phablet. Will the battery die within 2 years as I bought my phablet on Dec 2011?
Regards,
K.Ramesh Karthik.
Lot of issues on battery has bee reported after one year of usage.
Mine died after 14 months, the battery began to swell and during usage i think it heats up and comes away from the contacts.
A new battery completely fixed my problems so it should do for you too. Buy an official sammy one, it was only £8 in uk from amazon. Well worth it
same issue
Ramesh
I have the same issue , have aNov 2011 note 1 otherwise doing great but now the same problem. Did you change the battery and get a solution.
Kindly email me at [email protected]
Would appreciate it .

Same problem after updating to JB official ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem after updating to JB official ROM. After the screen flickers, the phone turns off, and when I turn it on again, the battery level drops insanely. If turn on again, I have another battery level, until screen starts flickering again. This happens over and over again...
Once I plug it in, it starts behaving "normally" and after 2 or 3 hours, it starts this crazy cycle again.
This didn't happen before the update.
Any ideas?

Hi Ramesh,
Did you face any battery indicator issue like
1. The battery indicator flashes.
2. The battery indicator faulty indicates that its in charging mode.
prior to the screen flickering and forcefully switching off?.
Hi,
Im using stock ROM and ICS 4.04 OS.
just a week back i starting having issue with the faulty indicator, now the mobile turns ofw with flickering backilght when battery still shows 86%.
i think the circuitry of charging power circuit is screwed up?

This exact thing happened to me just recently (Note is from original release batch, so nearly 18-month-old battery) - replaced the battery with an official Samsung one off of Amazon UK and it stopped. Make sure you get one from a decent supplier, or the "fulfilled by Amazon" one: first time I got a dud battery that wouldn't even turn on.
My battery was bulging - it doesn't fit in the gap properly and the back cover has a bit of play that was never there before.
same here..
only yesterday...new battery..2 months old?
It happened with me even with ics, my phone came pre installed with. But flickering only happens when my battery reaches 1 percent. Usually 2-3 mins after it reaches 1 percent. And then soon the phone turns off. Basically it happens just a few seconds to a minute when the phone is about to turn off. Otherwise it doesn't happen. This is my 4th note. It never happened on my previous 3. Hope that helps.

I'm having this same issue now... I've ordered a new battery from Amazon.... hope it solves the problem
If the battery drains like hell, and it's bulging, get a new battery. It solves the problem. I had this problem last week, and new battery got rid of it.
Me and my wife bought our notes at the sane time but her battery lasted a few months longer than mine did.
Seems like a new battery after a year or so it's inevitable.

Same here battery 16 months old
Same here, my battery is 16 months old (now having a bulge too). Screen flickers @lower battery levels pretty much every time, though never when phone is connected to charger.
It seems Samsung Battery Life is less than Nokia
same issue exactly appeared after 17 months of buying.
I was charging the mobile via Car Charger which reduced the battery life.
after buying a new one, it worked OK but to be in safe side I upgraded OS to ICS.
It seems Samsung Battery Life is less than Nokia !!!!
The same problem
Actually i do have the same problem 5 days ago,mine is 15 months old Galaxy Note holding Jellybean 4.1.2 XXLT5 ofw . I asked help from specialist in mobile phones and he told me to change the battery immediately , so i asked for the battery (Original one from Samsung retailer) and it will be delivered for me this Monday. I'll keep you informed by details.
---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------
I noticed also the flickering is accompanied by heat in the device processor , at the end of the discharging process (20 % 10% battery signal) or while surfing the 3G for longer time . sometimes it shut down suddenly
Hello guys! My tablet was quickly discharged in waiting mode (near 10%-1hour). All app off. WiFi turned off in ALL settings too. I spent a lot of tests and dont found a problem. In normal mode consumption battery such as is normal (2hour - games, 5hours - video) You are my last chance. I want to believe that it is not defect, because i havent guarantee
now. Firmware - cromix b5 (I tested all firmware - the same battery consumption).
P.s. Sry for bad English, I hope you understand me
Did you try the stock from too?
Something could be wrong with your battery, but did you have the drain also when you received the tablet fully stock not unlocked?
You also could try to monitor the real drain with android tuner but I don't know if this tablet is already supported.
Sent from my Asus Infinity TF700 with Dock
Hmm I have done some testing today and it seems the google services I used as well as the google search cause extra battery drain. I lost about 30% in 8 hours being just connected to to wifi and not using the tab. The fix in the short term is to turn wifi off when not using the device.
Let me make a patch to revert to the original Asus versions to see if it stops the drain. Will post it in the CROMi-X thread for testing.
OK If you are suffering excessive battery drain when sleeping and wifi is on please try this patch. This will revert the Google Services and Google Search App and Libraries back to the default Asus 4.3 versions and then force a redownload of the latest versions to /data when you open up the play store.
My investigations indicate these two apps are causing many wakelocks to keep the device form sleeping properly.
Please flash from recovery - it will auto wipe cache and dalvik cache. Let me know if it helps please.

Is it normal to have only 7hrs battery (screen woke up) on this tablet with 2hrs game & 5hrs video ?
In my case it takes around 8 hours to drain all the battery in normal mode (only surfing & using office apps with the dock) and I was wondering if I should send the tablet back to Asus. I did some factory resets and recently a data wipe but it changes nothing.
7hrs without the dock. around 8 - 9hrs with it.

7 hrs with screen on is very good! You should be getting 10+ with the dock.

I mean 2 hours games OR 5-6 hours video.
In tests, the main consumer of the battery is the screen but if I turn on WiFi or any application, then it will be the main consumer. Most likely it's a defect.:crying:
You could try android tuner 3c or the battery app to check your battery consumption etc.

No still sounds about right. You won't get a lot of battery out of intensive gaming - depends on the game. I think you may be expecting too much.

Excuse me if i'm not posting in the good thread. But could you tell me more about how the dock battery works?
Does using dock while none of the two batteries (tablet+dock) are at 100% charge could somehow reduce the autonomy of one of the two batteries?
Can the dock be used as a charger to fully charge the tablet?
Is there any way to know if the tablet is 100% charged without booting? And also for the dock ?
Thank for answering it could really be helpfull because i don't see any q/a talking about this.

Dock only starts charging the tab if the tab battery drops below 70%. Stops charging at 95% or so.
That's it. Not aware if anyone has figured out how to change the behaviour.
Thank you for that, but if i charge the tablet or thz dock while the batterie is at 70% , is that bad for autonomy? Or should we charge only full cicles ( 15% to 100%?

Charge it how you want. Modern batteries don't need full cycle charging anymore as far as I am aware.
I have noticed the battery issue as well with short battery life but only when I have the Pad connected to a 5GHz WiFi signal. If I use the 2.5GHz the battery lasts a lot more time. The tablet also gets warm with the 5 and not with the 2.5. Has anyone else experienced this?

Perhaps this will help someone else who has the same problem as me...I can not claim to have solved the problem myself. I got some wonderful information from this thread in the Gear 2 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758364
So, if you're experiencing battery drain in excess of 15-20% per hour, that would pretty much make your device completely unusable as you'd drain the battery in about 5 hours as mine was doing. I tried everything, including even replacing my battery thinking it was a bad battery. To see if you're having the same issue, try disabling your Bluetooth connection on the Gear. If you notice you're battery doesn't drain nearly as quickly, you might have the same problem that I had. Here's how I fixed it...
I saw that according to the thread linked above, the problem is most likely the "goproviders" app. I tried clearing cache and clearing data through the "Application Manager" in settings on the Gear. That didn't help. I also investigated the "saproviders" app. Tried clearing cache and data in Application Manager as well. Nothing there either.
I went back into application manager and compeltely uninstalled both goproviders as well as saproviders. I did nothing else. The Gear Manager application notices that these applications are missing and will automatically re-download and re-install them. I'm guessing my original download must have somehow been corrupted. Once these new versions were downloaded and reinstalled, I rebooted my Gear and then re-enabled Bluetooth. Now, my mattery drain using the Tizen Mod 3.0 ROM is roughly 2% every 1.5 hours with bluetooth on, brightness set to 2, and motion enabled.
Just as an FYI, I know the linked thread addresses non-Samsung phones but this fixed my Gear's connectivity to my Note 2 using the SkyNoteAir G2 ROM.
I hope someone else finds this useful.

I thought that fixed it for me at first, but it rather quickly went back to an 8% (or sometimes more) per hour battery drain. I tried all the other recommended fixes -- older versions of Gear Manager, wiping from Recovery, and various combinations, with no joy. Finally, after a few days of not using my Gear, I noticed several hours after turning it on one morning that it had never connected to my Note 4. Yet its battery life was still draining at 8% or so per hour. So, at least in my case, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Gear Manager -- its either Tizen itself or (more likely) some preinstalled app that is sucking up the battery. I'm probably going to end up rooting Tizen and uninstalling a few things unless someone has a better idea. I can't imagine the stock Tizen install on a disconnected Gear would drain the battery like that, and not do it on everyone's, disconnected or no.
nobody has a battery monitoring application for Tizen? it would be a good thing ... I also tried everything and my gear starts to lose 9-10% per hour after a little while ... For info : I'm with a note 2 on DN4, it's was the same on 4.4.2...
I rooted and tried uninstalling a couple of things -- S Health, the pedometer. Same high rate of drain, and I can't think of any other app that might diminish battery life to this extent. I've now flashed the TizenMod 3.0 ROM, but I still have the same rate of drain (even though that ROM has a battery saving script built in).
So if it's not Gear Manager, and it's (apparently) not an app, it's probably something deeper because the only constant is the NF1 FW (the TizenMod ROM is based on that). I see from the samsung-updates.com firmware archive that there are a couple of newer FW versions -- NK1, released in November, and OA2, released last month. The available OA2 versions, however, are for Kazakhstan, Hungary, Germany, and Slovakia (plus the mysterious "SIO" region). Although I'm in the US, there's an NK1 version for the UK, so I'm going to try loading that and see what happens.
EDIT: updating to the NK1 version for the UK (which otherwise works fine) still results in high battery drain. At this point I'm wondering if Occam's Razor applies here -- maybe, at least in my case, it's just the battery itself.
FURTHER EDIT 2 days later: It's got to be the battery. I noticed that even when turned off, the battery is still draining. It comes off the charger at 100%, I don't turn it on, and less than an hour later it's at 91% -- without ever having been turned on.
YET FURTHER EDIT: It indeed was the battery. Replacing it brought new life to my Gear. Yay. Unfortunately, the battery cost $40 shipped (and required slightly more effort than, say, removing the back cover on a Note 4), but what are you going to do.

Guys, I went to Vodafone store (they have Samsung service) and I complained there about battery life. They sent my watch for repair. 5 days later I got it with motherboard and battery replaced! No need to do it yourself. Watch has 2 years warranty.
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Same issue, same thing - it was the battery. Unfortunately, my battery had swollen up causing the watch to turn off every time i put it on my wrist. Opened it up to see if it was a bad connection, and found my battery had swolen up to nearly twice it's normal size. At least I got warning before it decided to vent with fire onto my wrist.
Found the battery via ebay, should be here in a few days. (here's the ebay item if anyone needs it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331347265389 )
Galaxy Gear S battery drain
I was loosing 15% per hour on my Galaxy Gear S and for the life of couldn't figure it out. All the literature said it would last for 2 days. I even asked the tech guys at Best Buy. They couldn't help me. However, I think I have stumbled upon the answer. I typically dont have the GPS locator service on my samsung note 3 phone turned on. When its on, it drains my phone battery faster than usual. However, when I turn it on, my Galaxy Gear S Smart Watch battery improves dramatically. The phone battery went from losing 15% per hour to about 3 to 4 percent per hour.

Was having similar issues. Noticed that my screen was separating from the metal bezel and decided to open it up. The battery was swolen, good thing it didn't catch fire on my arm.

I went to Sonera (Finnish carrier) store few months ago when the battery life of my Gear dropped to around 17 hours even when turned off and they said that the warranty for the battery is 6 months so I would have to pay to have it changed. Preordered Gear S2 the same day but I'm still waiting for it
Hello,
Since some time (maybe weeks, I didn't pay attention), I believe my battery is totally out of calibration. When reaching about 20%, the drop to 0% is very fast, loosing percents every few seconds then the phone shutdowns at about 2%.
When fully charged at 100%, it stays at 100 for easily an hour while I'm using it (music, chat ...). It's like the calibration curve shifted by 20%.
I've tried 3 calibrations :
- Emptied battery, power off, charge until 100%, turn on then off again and continue charging to 100%.
- Emptied battery, phone turned on, charge to 100% and kept charging.
- used a calibration app (I'm not rooted)
Nothing seemed to work ... Do you have a solution to properly re-do a calibration of a P9 battery ?
Model AL10C00B389
Thanks
Nope. All I can think of is faulty battery should be replaced under warranty if possible.
Hi, it seems better after a proper calibration using XDA's calibration app. Now the decrease is more stable until 5-6%, then it goes fast to shutdown. The battery is 2 years old only (?) ...

Which app... Without being root?
Thx

The app is named Battery Calibration in Google store and is working also for non rooted phones.
There are a lot with that name, can you share the link?
I have similar issues with my L09-C432 P9.
There has been occasions under heavy use (like taking lots of photos on holiday) that the phone has turned off due to low battery when battery level was previously showing 40-50% - after plugging into the charger for a couple of mins the phone will power back up to show the % it was at before.
Other times the battery has "stuck" at 20% despite being used and then powered off.
Just today while playing a game, the phone was showing 8% battery - so i plugged it into a USB3 port on my laptop and it was showing 28% again within a minute or two!
The app link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
I have had exact same phenomena : shutdown at 20% when taking lot of photos and impossible to restart without plugin to a charger. Also the same quick increase of battery indication while charging. Try this app and see if it helps.
I'm having same problem, dbranded L09C432B390
Eventually the problem came back despite calibrating the battery ... today the phone turned off while taking just a single picture with a battery at about 30% ! It seems more and more the battery has an issue. It is appearing randomly but I noticed it is linked with the camera and the fact of taking pictures.
I have the exact same problem with my chinese version ( Eva- L10). The turning point is ( i believe) around 45 % remaining battery and below. The phone behaves normally at these levels ( games, web, music, etc.), until the camera app is started. First couple times the phone turned off and after starting again, it was on the previous battery level and continued to work normally ( until I open the camera app again). This behavior turned into complete refusal to turn on or to stay on after the bug.
First I believed that this is a software issue, but it goes again after the latest system update. Not sure if the Hard/factory reset will change anything ( trying to avoid that, its annoying).. Maybe the solution is to change the battery, but no guarantee for that to fix it either.. The third option is to get a portable battery and not letting it down below 50 %.
Same Issue here - on B393. First i thought that the battery is broken. But no, i have read about it in severel german and international Forums, on Facebook and so on. More and More User of the P9 have this problem, Power off by using Camera, oder totally going down between 40-20 percent. Because of this, i dont believe in a single problem with battery. There are to much users at the same time with this heavily battery bug.
Mine has started doing this...
Goes from ~25% straight to 1% then power off. Turn back on, and it says 25% for a second, then 1% then back off.
I kept turning it back on over and over untill the battery was so flat it didnt stay turned on for more than a few seconds before it shut down.
I then did a very slow charge to 100% with the phone tuned off from computer USB port and this seems to have helped a little bit, but still there is a problem.

Today I got a new phone black-out by taking just a single photo with 82% battery. I think there is no typical percent value under which the problem will come. Fortunately I had on me a power bank ... The battery still indicated 82% when I plugged it to the phone and restarted it. After restarting the phone and unplugging the power bank, I took several photos without any issues.
This problem appears so randomly ... the phone's camera becomes useless as it always has the risk to crash the phone ! Does anybody tried a hard reset or something which helped ?

I did something similar a few times to recalibrate the battery, it seemed to help but didn't took long before the problem appeared again.
Same problem here
L09
If I open the camera app having below 45% or so, the phone shuts down and only turn on to show 1% and the banner telling me that the phone will shut down in 30sec. If I plug the phone to a charger goes up to 20-25% very quick (5 minutes or even less) but obviously it doesn't last as 25%.
I did a full reset and nothing. IDK what to think, battery problem? Software issue ?
My P9 is currently away for repair
I was having a similar issue. My phone quickly went to 2% and powered off. If I then plugged in the charger, it would say 48% charged. Unplug the charger and power the phone on and it would work for a few hours. I thought it was a battery issue, so have sent it in for repair (at the retailers expense). The repair company have found a faulty charging port, but no fault with the battery.
I've never made the link between the camera app, and the charge issue, and when I get it back will test it.

Usan cargador original? Cq3.0? Supercharge?? He oído y leído que al usar el cargador cq3.0 la batería se degrada y pueden ocasionar errores de batería, descarga rápidamente o que no llegue a cargar al 100%.

ocupo cargador huawei de carga rápida, a veces pienso que eso puede ocasionar el problema... pero no estoy seguro, supuestamente no debería alterar en nada la vida de la batería.
hi hope someone can help with this.
I have a huawei p9 32gb EU version
model EVA-L09 emui 4.1.1 (still on) android 6.0 (says no update available)
build number is: EVA-L09C432B182
An issue seems to have developed in the past 2 weeks (i've had it almost a year) - it has decided to close itself down when I try to use the camera. I am using the default/stock camera app not a 3rd party one. I want to make clear it does not happen every time seems (at the moment) quite random/intermittent
The battery was at 79% the first time it happened and a few days ago it was at 55% and it happened. Auto flash was on but flash not activated at the time the phone shut down.
The first time I thought I just hadn't realised the battery was that low but when I plugged it in to charge it said 79% on screen.
A few days ago when it was 55% I was able to put the phone back on after it shut itself down and it was fine/behaved normally since putting it back on - the battery appeared to drain at the usual rate. I even took a few other photos after switching it back on & it didnt shut down. I had been using camera the same morning when the battery % would have been higher & it didn't shutdown then. (& i actually took quite a few photos during that time).
Hope someone out there has an idea of how to fix this issue, though i'm thinking its maybe the a sign the battery may be failing?
I also have this issue, I think it may be a sign the battery is beginning to fail, or possibly the cpu gets too hot. (again first started happening around a year into ownership)
Under 70% battery if i take a bunch of photos it can shut down but would normally turn back on again with 20% less battery. if battery gets less than 50% then if it powers off, it may power back on breifly and then go back to the exclamation mark for empty battery and shut down.
I have tried following the guide to calibrate the battery (let it charge to 100%, turn off, plug back into charger) but it made no difference.
What did help a bit though was ensuring cloud photo apps (google photos/onedrive etc) were set to only upload photos while on wifi and charging.
Hi, I have the same issue with my EVA-L09 with EMUI 4.1.1 build EVA-L09C900B182 bought in october 2016. Shuts down after shooting few photos/videos and can't start it again without plugging it. Once plugged, the battery level seems to be the same as before the shutdown. Seems to happen with any battery level.
If anybody can help solve this, that would be great. I can't decide to change the battery for the moment without certainty that it would fix this issue.

To all of you...unlock bootloader and update firmware. Maybe your issues will be solved. Its a conflict and not a battery issue
Sent from my EVA-L09 using XDA Labs
Any resolution?
I am having the same problem with my L09 and the P9 camera app. Was on Nougat so rolled back to MM in attempt to fix. Also tried a faster SD. No luck with either.
No such issues with other camera apps from Play Store, but they don't use both sensors.
Anybody resolved this problem definitely yet? If yes, how?
Thanks.

I have the same problem since the last 6-9 months.
However I noticed that the problem occurs when I make photos when I'm outside and the weather is windy/damp. I never had the problem when shooting photos inside, always outdoors.
The solution is indeed connecting the phone with a charger (or portable battery) or wait for a couple of hours.
It could be a problem with the battery but it is strange that the phone is ok again after charging a couple of minutes. If it was moisture this idid not yet vanish in just a couple of minutes. Maybe a sensor which is not working ok (or the firmware is not resetting/reading it correctly) ?
I'm thinking of sending my phone into repair for this problem, however I think this is a difficult to identify problem because it does happen randomly (as it seems).
I'm having the same problem, after battery goes under 50% It drains fast, bellow this it only takes 30min of use to shoot down, taking a few photos just makes it drain even faster. And when plugged to the charger it suddenly gets up to 40% . I tried everything software wise with no luck. I bought a new OEM battery planning to change it this week, then I'll post the results.
I am facing the same problem L09C432B395. I observed its somehow being related to cold temperatures outside in my case - it happens only when walking outdoor and the phone is in my hand for a while - so its probably cools down. And than when pressing the camera button I see the message "waiting to sharpen the photo" and then beeeep! battery down to 1% and phone shutdowns. Regardles the battery level.. happening accidentaly and randomly, but only once a week.. and only when taking phone outdoor in a winter time. I did factory reset, re-installed the latest ROM etc but the problem persists. Might be some conflict between battery state and temperature read error?

Update: I change the battery, everything back to normal. I used a OEM battery, screen time is +6h with moderate use during the first row cycles of battery use from 100% to 10%.
Hi all together. Faced the same issue up times (Huawei P9 EVA-L09C432B395, Kamera App 4.1.1) with battery in good state 46 to 76% and taking a picture caused draining it to zero at a moment. Sitting down immediately. BUT only if flash ? is set to bulb-light ?! Tested it several times. Normal (auto/always active) flash is ok - but not bulb-mode...
So, that's obviously the reason - but where's a solution? ?
Some Huawei officials here at xda? ?
Same problem here and without solution yet ... camera causes phone to shutdown and battery indication goes crazy.

Experiencing the same issue on both P9 we have and getting very annoying would be glad to see if is there any solution of this.

These are my exact symptoms - combination of cold and camera gives false battery reading and shuts down phone entirely. Software update hasn't fixed.
I have same problem
EVA-L09C55B383
it's the last firmware
emui 5.0.1
android 7
at 50% battery i make a photo with flash and the p9 turn off.
to turn on i need connect it to recharger.
it's very very impossible.
i think to send it to customer care.
have someone resolved this issue?
i ask to huawei on facebook. i wait a answer.
Any luck with Huawei support for any of you?
Hi,
I'm having the same problem. It's amazing how there's no information at all from Huawei about this issue... it's frustrating. I was planning on buying a P20 during this year and give my P9 to my wife, but if she can't use the camera it's useless. And I will not buy another Huawei if they don't do anything regarding a problem like this one...
Did any of you had any positive experience with Huawei Customer Care?
Thank you!

Did you try yourself any search for custom ROMs ob XDA for Huawei P9?!

I tried Huwawei customer care.
Their best offer was factory reset of all firmware!
Install updates doesn't fix.

Even when connected to charger!!
Even when the phone is connected by USB to my computer and charging, if I open the camera the battery % starts to drop like 1% every 4-5 seconds!!
So the battery is being drained faster than what it charges.
I close the camera and it starts charging again.
Huawei, I was very happy with this phone, now I'm constantly in fear of getting out of battery in the middle of an unknown city while taking photos!
