I have Samsung galaxy 3 & use Samsung issued stock froyo rom. Since past few days, I am facing strange problem.
After charging battery to 100%, whenever I make 2-3 calls or one long call, Battery discharges fast & warning of low battery comes out. Sometimes phone shuts down even during call.
When I restart phone, Battery icon shows full or upto 90% charge. Then problem recurs. With no phone calls, phone runs upto 4-6 hrs.
I have calibrated battery again & again. I have given phone to service centre twice & they have reformatted it every time with same results.
Now, I have been told that motherboard needs to be replaced & will cost 4500.
I want to know that this problem is really caused by faulty motherboard or faulty battery?
Change the battery and see if it helps
Cheers

Is this a problem with some app?
Because phone shuts down before 0 battery...
I had this problem but it was solved after buying a new battery. Your new battery may be defective...? I don't know, try your friend's battery or something first.

Calibrate your battery using battery calibration app.. You can download it from market for free

I've tried it.
So I came to know that battery was 90% before starting internet,
Then shut down after a few minutes...
When I started the phone , it was 40%...
So before battery goes zero,
Phone, shut down...
Ive done it...
Battery 90%
Started internet
Phone shut down within a few minutes
Started the phone
Battery was 40%
That meabs before battery goes zero,
Phone shuts down
:what:
Is your problem solved?
Tell me if you get any soln...
I have the same problem! My battery is 1 year old. I changed few ROMs and Kernels, wiped batterystats... nothing helped!
I'm using internet for 5min. (100%->89% sometimes 70%) and than it shut down immediately.
connect it on charger (90%)
after 5-10min. charging, battery is 100%
without using it lasts for 3-5 hours.
Now I'm waiting for a new battery to come, and after I test it I will give a report.
Go to customer care...
I just have solved my problem...
If you can't find any other way...
so what did they tell you? you got a new battery? is it a problem in hardware or software?
I went to customer care and they are saying that its hardware problem
To nidjo 16
If your problem not get solved after a new battery, go for store,
Because we already have tried kernel and rom options...
My problem now get solved
Hope your problem get solved...
Well they told me that it was some hardware problem...
Though they didn't tell me about the problem exactly,
My phone is working good and that is what I need
I'm having the same problem.
Have anyone tried replacing the battery?
If the battery is even slight bend,
Replace it
Rude customer service by samsung
Samsung service centre in RK Mutt rd, Chennai is very very Hostile to customer.
I was treated worst by the 4 jokers at the counter
everyone acting busy and thats what prompted me to find this wonderful forum..
The battery problem can be solved as follows:
1. Discharge battery by games or any high battery consuming apps
2. Charge the phone overnight [it may take 5-10 full discharge cycles for battery to understand and give a good backup!!
3. delete Battery stats using CWM
Try an alternate kernel..
Some modifications I got with my customer care (which is very good! )
For 1
Charge after battery goes below 20 at least once a month...
For 2
Don't charge over night, when the battery is new...
At least for the first time
More stuff
Do not use much during charging...
At least internet or wifi
And don't charge for too much time...
(i mean when battery level is still high for use)
Cheers....
Had same problem
used a new Rom and new Kernel and tried so much.
Battery Calibration dont helped.
then i changed battery and yeah that helped since the new battery all is working well
But yeah if it helps I must say that i charged my phone most time via usb and used it for internet via usb teethering, now i only charge it over night and the battery stays much longer
When only use it for music and use internet only shot or use wlan then it stays for 3 or more Days and i think that is very good for an android phone !
I bought a 1 year old note 4,it usually dies at 25% percent,it drops suddenly to 0 %.,after weeks of research i found it is caused by faulty battery so i bought a new battery now it dies at 10% to 0% in seconds and turns off,i flashed a kitkat rom now problem is solved but i want to be on lollipop due to UI changes,can any custom rom solves this? i've tried dr.ketan rom,same issue dies at 10%...

Probably caused by battery calibration. Just use your prior rom from 100% to when it shuts off a couple of times to retrain it.
If you use multiple batteries like I do, you'll never be able to calibrate, and will just have to live with this issue.

Well not entirely true. Ur battery have the chip that tells the system how much left the battery is. I often have those prob. But now is gone. I just charge until 100% let it 10min charged. Then use it until it off. (Really really off.) Like when the battery circuit stop the battery not the phone shutting down. After that charge until 100% and after 100% i let it charge for 1hour to make sure it really 100% . done
Same here after last update. From 10 to 0% in second
+1 here
Thats why I utterly I hate sw updates.
My Galaxy NOTE 4 SM-N910C
Same problem here ,, considering buying a new battery but afraid that the problem isn't from the battery and get the same drop again with the new on
my phone is 1 year old
i had the same problem, so what i did was to flash the Rulinglite ROM for my note 4 910 C. it works fine now.
Hey guys, I got the same problem. Sometimes it drops from 15% to 4% in a few minutes and then from 4% to 1% in another few minutes (without using phone ofc).
Also, when i charge my phone - it shows me 100%, but when i reboot it - i got like 94%. Few minutes later - again 100%. After reboot - 95%.. etc etc etc... (charger is pluged on for all this time)
Do you have this problem?

Same problem here
my problem is that the battery percents are getting lower ery fast..if i make some actions that require more battery and i have 20% of battery, the percent goes to 16 so quickly and then the phone hangs up. I turn it on, it shows lesss battery, then it hangs up again and i need do recharge the battery. I bounght the phone at 2nd hand, i noticed the battery issue since i was testing it, but i love the phone. i am affraid not to be a hardware problem with one of the internal components of the phone, that killed the battery...i tested the battery on Note 3 and i am sure that the battery has a problem. What if i buy a new battery and a malfunctioning component of the phone damages the new battery too?
For me: i will dial *#0228# press quick start and wait till phone lids up connect charger and charge until 100% and then dont unplug first leave it there for 30mins or more and then unplug. ( do not unplug it halfway )
Second i switch off my phone take out battery and wait around 3 mins and then put back in and start charging it to 100% without switching device on, also same thing leave for sometime before unplug when it reaches 100%. you can also switch on after 100% and wait for sometime. ( as booting phone drains battery too )
hope it helps
Bought a new battery still drains at 10percent exactly,thought it's a lollipop issue,but even in MM it exactly shuts off at 10%.
I've been having this strange problem these last few weeks. It happens in different ways.
1. Bellow 25% phone randomly shuts off then when i reboot its 0% battery.
2. Bellow 25% at random % I lose phone signal then the phone starts to lag and capacitive keys don't work then the phone shuts off and when i power it on its at 0%.
3. Phone gets to 15% i plug it in to charge, it doesn't charge but discharges to 0% then shuts off and after that it charges.
If i remove the battery then put it back in after it says 0% it may show 30%/20/15/13/25/30 etc. Sometime it doesn't charge after 87% or 92%. Is it the battery or is something else at fault? Also i can't get more then 2h15m screen time whatever i do and wifi drain is 30% in gsam.
Earlier I had same problemes on my Note 1 and it was because of my battery. Probably your problemes are becuse of your battery too.
Ok I will try a new battery.
I have exactly the same problem!!!!
Like exactly.
However I'd like to add some things:
1. Sometimes the radio signal for mobile starts randomly cutting in and out. It will be full bars, LTE, then nothing, no signal symbol. Then Full bars again, then no signal. In 1 minute revolutions. I am not physically moving during this time.
2. Even at near full battery the phone will get super laggy, stutter, and then finally crash. Once it reboots the battery will be 40% or something. Not super low but lower.
3. The camera seems to have a huge effect as well. I will open the camera, take a picture, and the picture won't save...it will just start to freeze the phone up until I have to pull the battery or it reboots on its own.
I also have a new battery coming in the mail.
However I should note that I am Note 4 910-H using a 910-C variant Custom ROM.
I was worried it was the special Modem I flashed to make the C variant ROM work on my H variant phone that was causing the problem.
Great, but unfortunate to see someone else having this issue too.
Ill post results of the new battery here.
Btw, ive been able to resurrect it from a very low state of charge (3% etc). The only way to do this is to use my fast charger. The fast charger is the only thing that will save it. Even then it takes ages to charge and gets white hot while it does. Its like the fast charger is battling for charge against some unknown force.
Post if you remember when you get your new battery. Hope that fixes it for you.
hi
my note 4 910c become very hot when i use the internet , can i change the modem from lower android like 4.2 to android 6 ? is it work ?
I have exactly the same problem and please if any1 finds any solution just share it here... I tried almost everything but not a new battery.
Battery Calibration By All The Ways, Battery Quick Start via *#0228#, Many Custom ROMs, Many Custom Kernels and Many Stock ROMs and the problem still the same even after I cleanly installed stock 6.0.1 ... Any help please.
Thanks in advance.
New Battery fixed 99% of my problems.
However the phone still randomly freezes and disconnects from cell service.
I think its the modem driver. Freezing might also be due to sd card.
Hi,
I have a Note 4 SM-N910C variant that is almost 3 years old.
Starting from 5 months ago the battery level would start dropping fast from 35% to 0% in like 2-3min after which the phone would turn off. If i took out the battery and insert it again, start the phone again it would show around 30% battery level. After a while it would start doing the same fast drops in battery level and so on.
I got a new battery, not OEM and now it doesnst do what i was facing above but it randomly turns off no matter if im doing something with heavy or no load on the device.
The turning off usually happens after the device goes bellow 50% battery level.
How can i test if all the components are ok other than the battery which seems to be faulty in my opinion.
I did order a new original OEM battery but it will take time to get to me.
I want to find out if the rest of the components are functioning without faults so i can decide whether i should get a new phone or not.
Please assist.
New battery
I know its not the same behavior, I have 2 note's. Mine is only a couple of months old while the one from my wife is build in 05/15. Her phone when we just received it would refuse to charge above 96%. Sure the phone would say 100% but as soon as you unplugged the charger it would drop straight to 96%. It did this on 3 different batteries, exactly the same behavior. All these batteries are OEM. When you plug it in it would go rapidly to 100%..
Anyway, I wiped the cache on that phone and since this it charges normally.
Been comparing the battery drain and both phones are using around 6 to 8% per night while on stby with wifi on.
Just try this, it may help you!
Thanks for the replies.
I did try wiping the cache and even did a factory reset.
I rooted the phone 2 days ago to try and recalibrate the battery but i didn't help.
I think the situation isn't degrading cause from today the phone is constantly hot and the cpu is running at around 48 celsius with 7-8% load.
I'll see what happens when the new battery arrives, maybe the phone is heating up cause of this maybe not. It's even eating the battery from 100% to 0 in 2h with no real load on the phone.
Do you guys think a benchmark program will force it to thermal shutdown if this is the issue.
I'm still trying to find out if only the battery is faulty or i have a dying phone.
To me you have 2 problems...a faulty battery and a (new) software problem on your phone.
Constant being warm with a cpu load tells me something on your phone is running all the time consuming your battery and causing your phone to heat up, unless it behaved the same before the factory reset and rooting?
You are rooted so try Wakelock detector for root to see which app (if any) is causing your phone to behave like this.
I will try wakelock to do its thing during the time i sleep. But if that doesnt help ill try a custom rom. Im not gonna factory restore and go back to stock rom. Gonna move away from that and see what happens.
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my sister''s phone (SM-G903F) , after the last charging it's draining extremely fast battery with 1%/minute. Even with phone turn off and battery inserted , the area around sim card is overheating in just a few minutes and battery drain extremely fast. I replaced the battery with a new one .... no effect .I have accessed the battery usage in settings and I saw that the screen consumes 100% although the brightness is 50% and the screen darkening time is 30 seconds What may cause this problem and what could be the solution ? Before to send it to service center I wish to try your ideas. Until then I must keep the battery out of the phone. Thank you for any help
