so my vibrant is reading it is at 70c never goes up or down. this wouldn't be a big issue if it would let me charge my phone lol
says that the temperature is to low or to high.
seeing as i was unable to charge my phone i bought a 2 batter and external battery charger kit off amazon witch is working wonderfully
but i still want to charge my phone normally from time to time
im rooted but only for superuser haven't added any custom roms or any of that basically did it for wifi tethering and set cpu.
is there any way to change the settings for the battery temperature.
i ran into a couple for the older Samsung phones using the *#197328640# going to common and being able to change the setting from 158f to like 159 or 160
Anyone have anything I can try im open to anything
if you have clockworks recovery. put a fresh battery in there and clear battery data. it should be under "advanced" menu
worth a shot
Is that an app in the market?
Ok so I think this has something to do with system app remover I was playing around with it the day it stopped working. Removed a couple other apps today and it starts charging again.

So I have been having some battery life issues like some users not being able to get a full day. But there has been a few times I have had my battery at %50 and then after a reboot it starts up and says plug in charger your battery is dead. Today I had 90% only been using for a few hours. All I did today was remove handcent and put on go sms. I also installed juice defender but I have it just on default settings. Go sms was stuck in a search so I rebooted my phone. I had 90% battery and when i started back up it says my battery needs to be charged. I have done the whole charge / whipe battery thing before didnt seem to help.
Oh and i'm running dk28 mightnight rom.
sounds like a bad battery. Most sprint stores with service centers have a cadex machine that they can test your battery with.
I have been seeing the exact same thing. I will reboot the phone with what appears to be a lot of battery life left and when it comes back I'll get told I'm at something like 10% and I should connect the charger. Luckily I have two batteries and I keep the second one with me in the pocket case/charger.

Same issue here with drastic change in charge level after flashing a ROM or even just flashing a new app or UI change via CWM when using my cheap ass Chinese eBay batteries. I've yet to be able to recreate the problem while using my stock battery - and I've tried. If you are using the stock battery, it's probably going bad. If you're using a cheap eBay battery, well, you get what you pay for I guess.

Both of my batteries are stock and I don't think it's a bad battery. I can go several days with great battery life from both batteries and then out of the blue I'll restart the phone for whatever reason and POW! Come to think of it the only reason why I usually restart the phone is to either swap batteries or because performance has dropped dramatically. Now I am wondering if there is a run away process that is chewing up the battery but the usage isn't being reported until after the reboot.

My battery is stock also. And mine appears to be random also sometimes I will have mild to high battery drain and other times its BAM %50 to 0 on a reboot or something it doesn't really match up with use or anything. I do have a Chinese battery on the way. I'm draining the battery down a bit more now and going to do another full charge with it off and then wipe the stats. Hopefully it helps will also try to stop at the sprint store and have them test the battery.

This was most prevalent for me when running EXT4 using the ext4 compatible bonsai roms (and the other ROMs that use bonsai as a base)
i've gone back to RFS and the 1.0.4 (I think) bonsai ROM and the problem has gone away.
my phone would be fine for quite a while, then i'd notice crappy performance, browsing, texts not being sent/received so i'd reboot the phone and come back after boot and the battery would be almost dead.

I am currently on Bonsai v2.0.0 rom with Gingerbread Theme.
My battery performed weird when I just flashed to Bonsai rom. After reboot, the battery suddenly dropped from 50% to 15% and told me to charge. However I believe it happened due to flashing a new rom and battery not calibrated.
However, after a week of normal using, the battery seemed to have been calibrated itself. Now it performs okay. I have been lightly used (facebook, XDA, Engadget, weather checking on Wifi) with screen brightness set to auto. I also played music on phone speaker for about 20 minutes while I am cooking. Oh, I didn't get a call, so no call usage. But I did some email checking.
I had Advanced Task Killer set up to auto kill processes every one hour. I killed facebook when not in use, as I heard that facebook chat causes major battery drainage. And I also set mostly black wallpaper in hope to save some battery. I heard that saves battery a lot for some reason.
Anyways I have attached the screenshot, although I didn't use much, I believe that I can withstand a day with no problem.

Not to change the subject but you brought up Swype. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the more they use Swype the worse it seems to get? I loved it at first but now it seems like it's been hitting the crack pipe.
With due respect I think you're all wrong. I've had the same issues... sometimes at random after a restart
Shut down
Pull the battery
Put it back in
You should see your normal battery life
It's actually reading way lower than the battery actually is

Swype remembers mistakes that we make when hitting each key.. once a week or once every couple weeks I'll go to menu > settings > spplications > manage > select all apps > swype > force stop then clear cache.
that always gets it sober again.

The thing is, it shouldn't be happening. I can say for certain that after removing EXT4 and flashing back to the last stable (for me) Bonsai ROM I have not encountered this anomaly even one time (been 2 wks so far)... call it a coincidence, call it a solution. You decide.
Just sayin'

Clear cache or clear data? In Cache it shows 0.00B but in Data it shows 396KB. EDIT: I took the plunge and cleared data. That was it.

I tried this and no luck. I restarted the phone with about 80% and when it came up I got the critically low attach charger message. I then powered down, removed the battery, let it set for a minute, put the battery back in and booted. Still the same message. I'm keeping better track of usage and such today to see if there is something I can contribute this to.

In my experience, there wasn't a 'guilty' usage pattern or app that caused this for me.. I noticed that when the battery gauge showed around 60-70% my phone would start performing very poorly.. I'd reboot and when it booted, came back w/ critical low battery.
As I posted before, I reverted back to RFS and haven't had this issue yet.
Glad to see I'm not the only one having this annoying problem. I hate having a full battery and after 2 reboots I have a low battery. Its hard to believe that a reboot takes so much power.

3rd party launcher
So I was having a problem over the last few days trying to see what was eating up my memory and battery.
This was my solution to my battery drain:
If you have a 3rd party launcher, like LauncherPro, go turn on TouchWiz (via settings->applications->manage applications->3rd party launcher->clear defaults). Open up both TouchWiz and the Default Android launcher one at a time, and make sure you delete all of the widgets and anything that might be operating under the other launchers.
LauncherPro and ADW do not turn off TouchWiz, they are really just an overlay. So if you have, for instance, the Sprint TV widget on a home screen through TW, then it is still operating while you use LP or ADW. I use this example because it is a widget that Sprint has set up to automatically be placed on the home screen when you buy the phone.
Also, I would recommend looking at these three apps that might show you what is draining your battery: OS Monitor, Android Assistant, and/or Battery Doctor.
Hope this help you in some fashion to uncover whatever it is that draining your battery. If nothing here helps, I would do one of the battery calibration techniques here
I'm running ICS Passion v10.6 w/ streamline . When I plug in my phone to charge , it takes about a minute and my phone says its fully charged, then I unplug it and use an app then I get the plug in you're charger message, low bat. I leave it on for several hours ignoring the charged status, go to use it and BAM the thing goes to the low bat warning. I also keep getting the SOD to the point that my phone is almost useless. Keeps losing signal too. Is anyone else having these issues?. Can't even load my backups, error can't find md5 file.
Have you tried wiping your battery stats?

Try going here to see how manually since you probably won't be able to download an app b/c your battery will shut you down.

I have tried to wipe bat stats, and I'm using the bat calibration app. Still screwed. Going to try a different battery and see if I still have my issue.
Have you tried flashing to JFD stock to see if the issue persists? You may have flashed a bad DL, i'd try flashing to stock going through full charge cycle and then re-downloading and re-flashing Passion v10.6
Make sure your battery is healthy and that your charger is healthy. I suggest getting the Battery Widget App by 3C. It gives you a lot of stats pertaining to your battery. Worse comes to worse you wipe down everything and reinstall.

Normally, after work, my battery would be around 85%, but all of a sudden, yesterday, my battery after work was only 24%. I am not sure what is the cause of this behavior. I installed apps like tripit, travelsafe, skyscanner, onthefly, but I don't think that should cause this.
I have tried the battery removal trick, but it hasn't worked. The phone wakes up every few minutes and therefore, drains a lot of battery. Could someone offer good insight into what is causing this and how to solve this permanently? Thanks.
I am on ICS LQ2 with speedmod kernel k3-3, and my battery was great even on ICS until yesterday.

According to the tings I've read, you should always unlock the screen before removing the charger and if the problem persists just do a reboot.
That's what always works for me - on Speedmod kernel.
I'm on sppedmod kernel and sometimes will not go into deep sleep...phone will get very hot in my pdocket which to me is a sign that its not going into deep sleep. ill then do a reboot and monitor thru cpuspy. reboot works but I've not found a permanent solution as yet.

Thanks for your replies, but unfortunately, rebooting hasn't worked for me.
What else can I do? Please do not suggest formatting or wiping anything, as it would be too much of a pain to do with my current configuration.
Perhaps you can try to - flash abyss 3.9 for GB - run that jbroid kernel cleaning - reflash your kernel.

Have you tried going to Airplane mode only? If you haven't done that, then try to see if you can turn your phone mode off and observe if your still getting the high battery drainer issue.
One of the big drainers in the battery are your high percentage screen output. If you got a high screen % output that means you got wakelocks and it's being triggered by an app/s on your phone.
See if you can disable one by one those apps you mentioned above, charge up your phone to say 10 to 15 mins, take out the charger, set screen timeout (on settings to 15 secs) and turn off the screen and set your phone to airplane mode off. Observe for an hour without using it.
Note the percentage on your Screen from the time you took out the charger to the time you check back (after an hour) to see if it had gone down already.

Hi,
ICS has this 200 MHz problem and, for the moment, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do about it. I reboot every morning after charging and I'm fine for the day.
Without getting paranoiac about your battery (you have your phone because you use/need it, not for becoming a world champion in Deep Sleep ), mind what you install.
I usually "lose" between 1~2% capacity/hour and manage to run it a whole day with ~60% of the battery (WiFi, BT and GPS active). Yesterday I installed some Security thing and jumped to 4~5% immediately. It also caused constant 200 MHz mode and reboot didn't change a thing.
I dumped it this morning and am fine again. Here's my situation after 3h48m of activity today, I have 88% left
(Sorry for the big picture but I don't manage otherwise )
I keep my GNote as standard as I can and just verify briefly, with CPU Spy if everything is fine after installation of a new App. If it's no good I delete it and that's it.
Thanks everyone for the replies. Without quoting everyone, let me say I have tried all the tests you guys suggested. I have tried the airplane method, rebooting, monitoeing for apps, etc. I dont have latitude so didn't try that method. I also reinstalled speedmod k3-3 kernel last night.
I upload there images: system battery info., cpuspy and betterbaterystats. It seems, for now, my phone IS doing a little better with going into deep sleep. Unfortunately, I don't know which method worked, so I don't have a definite solution for anyone suffering from the same issue. As an observation, my phone used to go into deep sleep mode much more than it does now.
Edit: I have attached the following five screenshots to be analyzed. It seems the issue is not solved yet, and the phone still doesn't go into deep sleep the way it should. Could someone help point out from the screenshots what's going on? Thanks.

In your screenshots you have WiFi running for a lengthy period.
WiFi is notorious for eating the Battery.
Only use it when you actually need it.
The only contradiction to this is when you are actually using WiFi for an extensive period (do not include turning off the screen and leaving WiFi running in this description) it is kinder on the Battery than a Data Plan.
Also, as jpmiv mentions.... don't just remove the Battery (which I note you have already tried this method) but again as jpmiv mentions leave the Battery out of your Note for a short while before reinserting. It will clear away any residual memory on the Note.

It's definitely your WiFi which is the main culprit.
Look at the WiFi Running and wlan_rx_wake
Have you turn off your WIFI dude?
Judging on the screenshots you made... your WIFI has been ON for a lengthy of time and anyone knows that if you enable your WIFI, it's surely going to eat most of your battery.
Try to see if you turn it off, and see if there's a considerable on your phone's battery after.

Yes, wifi is on, but what I should have mentioned is that I used to have a much better deep sleep time even with wifi on before last Friday when the issue began showing up. Also note that the wifi was on only because I was home - when I am at work, I am on data connection.
Is there anything else in terms of apps that you find unusual or the cause of the issue? Something is waking up my Note more often than it used to.

The Setup
I recently went out of the country and before I left I unlocked my GS4 following from wonderhowto[dot]com
Arrived to my Carribean destination, bought a prepaid SIM, popped her in and everything worked great.
Problems started when I flew back into Miami. I removed my prepaid SIM and installed my old one, changed my APN name back
and rebooted the phone. Decided to plug it into my laptop (USB3.0) to get some extra juice before the next flight and I noticed that
the battery was actually going down and quite quickly too, about 1% every 3 minutes. The phone was also doing a lot of connecting and disconnecting from the laptop even though it was not being moved.
I use two batteries which I have an external charger for , so this didn't slow me down too much.
After a few days, I thought maybe by unlocking the phone I had left it in some "roaming" state where it was eating up battery looking for its signal, so I decided that I'd restore it to the nandroid backup ROM Manager created before I did the unlock procedure. OH NUGGETS!
Things got ugly , quick!. In the process of trying to restore got MD5 mismatch error, so I went back to 3 previous backups before all of which said either "MD5 mismatch" or unable to open .zip -None of them worked.
Thankfully I had saved a copy of the backup folder in clockworkmod to my PC and tried to load that, it started and then get to writing /data and said error writing data.
I rebooted. Bootloop.
After a few hours of attempts with KIES, and some well timed cold beer deliveries from my wife, I finally got the phone back to stock version.
Rooted it again, motochopper, And loaded GoldenEye Rom v 8.0 . Still slow to little or no charging.
Loaded PACMAN and noticed something that should be mentioned.
Pacman rom has its own little battery widget that sits in the top tray and shows the %. It glows green from bottom to top to show that it is charging. I noticed on every couple of cycles, the battery meter would flash red for a quick second before turning green and sweeping up.????
Went back to a backup of GoldenEye8.
The current status
The phone is currently plugged in to the stock charger (2A) and stock cable. It has charged up only about 3% in 20 minutes time. I have it in battery saving mode with wifi on , and EVERYTHING else turned off.
Battery info says:
Temp 87.3 F
Voltage 4033mV
Plugged True
Charging
Li-ion
Health:Good
Charge Type : AC
Battery use shows 62% of battery use coming from SCREEN (Yes I have auto-brightness set, and NO live wallpaper)
Anyone have some good input?
Maybe its a bad cord? Or bad USB port/connection on the phone it self...

62% screen usage is normal, I sometimes see over 70% with my brightness all the way up.
Make sure apps aren't keeping it from going idle and staying active.
Battery temp. seems a bit high. General causes of that are a faulty cable.
Download greenify and hibernate any apps that may be running unnoticeably in the background.
If your kernel allows fast charging (disables access to phone storage while fast charging is on) enable it while charging if you're not using the phone.
Play with CPU and GPU governors in your kernel to save battery life. I.E: I put my CPU governor on "powersave" while idle and not using the phone for anything extensive.

Tried two other cords,but they just made it worse. They actually caused it to look like its charging but the battery level was going down.
Your second suggestion is probably right, but i'd like to exhaust my options first before having to restore and send to creator. I do find that with the stock cable and no external case on it stays plugged in well and doesn't make any "interrupted connection" noises.
With stock charger and cable and minimal functions running its charging about 1% every 4 minutes. ( Approx 6.5 hrs to full charge )
I feel like the hardware must be working in order to do that, and that the software is putting some kind of excessive strain on it. Possibly?
The battery use still shows, screen as the major contributor at 61% , so I switched from a really high resolution static background to a low res one. ( results to follow)
Downloading WanamLite now and going to try that out, also going to try performing the unlock procedure I did in reverse order and see what that does. Keep you posted. Open to suggestions.

Download greenify and hibernate any apps that may be running unnoticeably in the background.
If your kernel allows fast charging (disables access to phone storage while fast charging is on) enable it while charging if you're not using the phone.
Play with CPU and GPU governors in your kernel to save battery life. I.E: I put my CPU governor on "powersave" while idle and not using the phone for anything extensive.

Thanks for the advise, I'm running greenify and its really only showing facebook and my sms app, I hibernated facebook anyways just to test it, but I know out of the box , on a car adapter this thing was charging 1%/min , maybe I have a bad ROM/Kernel mix?

Doubt it, but maybe you can try going from touchwiz to aosp. Very much more lightweight, though you'll lose some s4 features. If it is faulty hardware/battery I'd just save yourself the trouble and swap it for a new one; or try another battery. I guess you can try doing a compete wipe and flashing a fresh ROM with a kernel you know will definitely run smooth with it.

Already tried the second battery, no luck. Any suggestion on the rom/kernel combo?
I use task650 with kt's kernel and it's excellent. Though it's all opinion, there is many great combinations. Some ROMs come packaged with their own kernel or a custom one.

IMO: those temps are pretty normal.
Why you don't try a bone stock rom and see how it respond for a few hours, if the stock rom behaves the same, probably you will need to send it for warranty.
