Hi All
I've been searching for an answer to this but so far I've come up with nothing. I recently upgraded my Australian GT-P6810 to the P6810XXLPK_P6810OXALPK_XEU fimware using ODIN because I was sick of waiting. Everything went smoothly and the tablet is a lot faster now.
But the problem I'm having is it takes abnormally long to charge now. Takes around 5 hours to charge it from 40% to 100% and when I look at battery monitor widget the most it seems to be charging is +400ma where on HC before I'm sure it used to be up around 1000 when it was charging.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Cheers

Looks like I've fixed it buy upgrading the ICS firmware from P6810XXLPK_P6810OXALPK_XEU to P6810XXLPL_P6810OXALPL_XEU which came out a couple weeks after.
Charging has returned to normal.
Now as it's fixed, thread closed.

Does anybody know sone work around regarding this? Because its starting to annoy me, have you ever experienced when you are using your device,the battery warning suddenly pops up and says that you must charge already and the battery percentage suddenly changes to 3% eventhough awhile ago there is still 50% left, but when you reboot it chages back to 50%, what could be a possible culprit, this happens a few times to me a day and im tired of rebooting everytimethe warning pos up.
Any advice is appreaciated
Same experience. I posted this a while ago but no solution.

well this isnt an acutal solution but have you tried actually draining your battery down to 3% recently? By doing that you are "calibrating" the battery life sensor and maybe that will cause this issue to occur less frequently?
This happened to me once so I did that and havent had a problem since. Hopefully it works for you!
but how do you power it on if thinks the battery is critical
Somehow if ido a reboot it just goes back to normal..maybesomething is messing up with the battery sensors,i did let it drain but some how it still the same, i had read on a similar thread about a bump charge or something maybe i could try that and lets see from there
on verizon tab SCH-I800 - does the same thing ... mine seems to happen around 33% though. (i thought it was something with the 33% .. since it would drop down to 3%) ..
i think samsung should really push out an update to address some of the glitches in these tabs..
Tried the recalibration thing. Problem still exists.

thats a similar issue i get,. Yes i tried the recalibration charge also and still having the problem, i did a factory reset also and it did nothing.. Im really desperate for some fixes..
Mine jumps from 15% to 3%. Quite annoying, I assumed that it is because it is poorly calibrated and so it doesn't realise its actually critical until its 15%.
I tried calibrating it by running it until it switches off, and then fully charging. However, that didn't work.
If in reality the battery is at 15%, then its a pretty bad software bug.
Maybe deleting the battery stats solves the problem?
I think its getting worse on mine now after a full charge after i remoce the charge around 2min. It says 3% again what the heck?

Tried flashing with another rom but no help. Start to wonder if this is hardware related....

try to flash it with rotohammer rom JHA/JMC it might fix the issue. My problem with GT was battery draining too quickly but after flashing it's much better now.

This worked for me too, however I had to do it 2 or 3 times. I haven't had any problems since.
I think i sorted it out also by calibrating battery,i removed the battery stats using the root explorer,now im still observing the progress
Brand new sprint tab, only installed the over clock kernel first week i got the.
Today, which would be week 3, i experienced the 35% to 3% drop instantaneousness..... So, im draining the battery, and hopefully doing a full recharge...

I also have a sprint tab and it is three months old. I have not put another rom on it, only rooted it. It also has developed this battery problem recently. It will go from 53 to 3 all of the sudden.

Not too sure what's the issue but it does sound like a program consuming too much CPU or the battery calibration issue.

Hi I have been viewing these forums for a long time now and wondering if any of you good guys could answer my question since I've searched google from top to to bottom with no joy .
Basically, I recently updated my firmware through odin to the latest xxubmea that incudes several fixes including the copy to sd option. As far as the performance goes etc everything is fine except, I was adoment the charging speed had got a lot slower. To prove this I downloaded 'galaxy charging current'. It was as I thought only showing 1200mah through the stock 2a charger while using the device. I then turned the screen off and noticed when I turned it back on you could just catch a glimpse of a 1900mah reading before dropping to 1200mah again. Further to this I decided to pop around my mates who is still on the original firmware and to my shock was recieveing the full 1900mah when using his device. It now appears that Samsung have physically limited the charge rate of the s4 by nearly half and in my eyes it's very noticeable. Now when I am getting ready to go out and have the radio streaming the battery life won't charge anywhere near as much as before meaning my battery is most flat by the end of the night.
I know one way of getting it to charge at full speed again is to just flash the old version again since I have folder mount and never really had many noticeable problems with it anyway.
Does anybody know why Samsung would have reduced this current? Since the speed it charged was a big bonus for me.
Also does anybody know anyway I can get it to charge at 1900mah in use by flashing a kernel or changing a particular setting or downloading an app etc?
Many thanks
Lee
are you really you sure that what you saw in your friend's S4 is correct? afaik charging rate will normally go down if you are using the phone
try other charge monitoring software such as battery monitor widget

On MEA (Omega 5.0) or even MF4 (Omega 6.0) software i was able to get 1900mA charging no probs, but now on Omega 7.0 XXUBMF8 i get only 1200mA. I`ve tried it on stock and custom kernels so the problem exists
Samsung limited the charging to 1200 when screen is on.
Screen off is still 1900.
This will limit overheating while using your phone with the charger connected.
Want the battery to charge faster, just leave the phone with the screen off.

I just downloaded the update and i noticed that my battery life SUCKS right now and the phone charges EXTREMELY slow... has anyone noticed this problem with their s5 after the update??
From around 9:30pm and 100% battery, i went down to 58% by around 11:30pm of constant use... the phone has been plugged in since then and i am up to only 71%
I am hoping that after this charge it holds a little better but this slow charging is no damn good :/
I'll try it out througout the day tomorrow, but right now I am pretty friggin worried, since until now the battery life and charging were amazing...
No issues here. NI2 working fine, rooted. Check your battery stats to find out what app or service is eating the battery & uninstall or wipe its data. Backup & wipe your phone back to stock if needed.
Fine here worked 10 hours yesterday still 70%

Looks like my phone is the same.
It has been 15 hours since it was on the charger and its at 31%.
weird how the first charge after the update drained so damn quick.
False alarm everyone. Sorry for the use less post :/

My phone is happening the same. The phone constantly trying to communicate with cell tower and freezes while I am typing. I flashed fresh a couple of time. I hope that it will be better after a couple of days. Please let me know if there is any setting that I should look into.
I'm experiencing an extremely frustrating problem with my N7. I noticed I get very little usage time out of it (1.5-2.5 hours watching youtube videos, playing games and TV shows) and it takes forever to charge (8+ hours from 10% to 100%) so I figured the battery is on it's way out. I've had it for almost 3 years so that would make sense. However, I bought a new battery (this one) but it hasn't made any difference. I lost the original charging cable so I suppose the slow charging could be at least partly due to that, but I remember for the first two years I had this thing, I could get at least 4 hours of continuous use out of it, usually 5+. I used to be able to leave it off the charger all day while I'm at work and the battery would hardly go below 90% but now I leave it off the charger for 6 hours and it's down to 45% from just sitting there idle. I have Greenify installed and have it set to hibernate all apps except Apex Launcher.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it? It has an older version of CM 10 on it so I'll try to flash a newer stable version. Should I try a new kernel too? I don't think I've ever done a firmware update on it either.
I would really appreciate any help. I'm ready to just smash this goddamn thing with a hammer.
Anyone? :/
It happened to me before with slow charging then I ve replace with my lg g2 cable then it work normal again.
For the ROM I am using cm12 it works good on my nexus but that's my opinions. You can try other ROM which suits you.
Thanks I hope this help.

Hello and Happy New Year to all,
*
I came across an issue with my Note's (N910C) battery today and I would like your opinion on it.
*
A quick background:
*
The phone has never been rooted.
9-10 months ago I downloaded an official firmware (6.0.1) which I flashed via Odin and it began to drain the battery very fast, killing the phone in less than a day.
I got a new battery, but the problem was still there.
Eventually I tried another firmware which worked nicely and consumption returned to normal levels. Since then, I had no problems whatsoever.
Yesterday night I got a notification to update. I had already done another two in the past - if I'm not mistaken - , without noticeable difference.
I did the update overnight and I removed the charging cable in the morning. It seemed that it was a little warmer than usual, but I did not pay attention.
The battery percentage was reducing at the rate of 1% per minute and it died within 2 hours.
I checked battery info, nothing abnormal.
I have two questions:
*
1. Does anyone have similar experience with this model (or other)?
2. If I reinstall the previous firmware, normally the problem should be fixed, right? I mean it started after an official update which AFAIK affects native apps only.
*
Thank you in advance
I have noticed on my Note 4, after upgrading to marshmallow, the battery drained like crazy too. It would drain 10-20% when I use it for 20 mins or so. The battery that I'm using is a 'new' one that I bought just about a year ago although the problem still occurred when it was fairly new.
I'm speculating that there might be some sort of battery or software issue with marshmallow as the original battery that came with the phone also had the same issue. It would drain fairly quickly until one day it just stopped working and would boot loop until I plugged it in to the charger.
Ever since marshmallow, I have never seen my battery get to 15% before switching off completely. Sometimes even 45% lol.

I had a faulty N910F and got another (used) one and it's had occasional forced closes at between 15-20%. This worries me that it might go the way of the old one where it developed the issues with it freezing and the frequent reboots....does yours exhibit any other issues?

Yes. Unfortunately. Currently, it would just die halfway even when I'm at 50%? That's the highest that I've noticed. So I had to charge it up for a bit maybe to 60% and it would be fine before dying around the 20+ - 40% mark. Previously, the original battery that came with the phone had this weird issue where the battery won't hold any charge even when it's fully charged. Like it will go to a bootloop when I've unplugged it even though it's at 100%. When I bought the new, current battery I noticed that it would still die off at 15-20% and the original battery became bloated a few months later.
Are you using any custom roms? The bootloops and freezing could be related to using some custom roms. I changed from a N7 port to a deodexed stock rom and the frequency of the freezing and reboots just plummeted. Reboots only happening when the battery is close to dying.

Ah right, so you had only the reboots, nothing else? That's fair enough.
No, it's nothing at all to do with the ROM. I'm stock but LOTS of people have had the same issue. As it stands, the only way to fix it is to get a new mobo :crying:

Well besides the usual overheating that's related to our snapdragon CPU, nothing much but mostly battery issues.
Although there is thread that I'm following that promises to fix the 15-20% issue. Checking their method to see if it works or not

I had a similar problem with fast battery drain - did a factory reset and it's back to normal. Make sure you're using a battery from a reputable source like RavPower (don't think there are any genuine Samsung ones left and Anker stopped making them).
