Hey guys, I posted here yesterday because my nexus 4 is stuck charging in USB mode which is really really slow, but I finally got it fully charged overnight. Since I have no way to quickly charge it I decided to see how much I could squeeze out of a charge. This is only the second time that the battery has been fully charged and I did everything I could think of to conserve battery: mobile data off, 2g network only, wifi off, sync off, lowest screen brightness, all GPS and location settings off, Google+ disabled, and using the phone very minimally. Other than sending less than 100 texts the phone was just hanging out in my pocket and this is how long the battery lasted.

Pretty atrocious. Anybody have any tips? I am thinking that since the phone is stuck in USB charging that could have something to do with it and maybe I just have a faulty device. I already contacted Google about an rma for the USB issue and I have a new phone on its way, but god knows when it will arrive. Thanks for any help!

Sounds like getting a new one was a good idea. In the meantime it will make a great paperweight.

Ok so I got a replacement for TyTN but now if I call anyone or anyone calls me and I talk for even a couple minutes the phone battery will get really hot and will die in under 3 hours being at 100% before the call...
The only fix is a hard reset and taking the battery out for a few minutes and then the phone will run cool as usual but the second a call is made bam! does the same thing again...
Is there a fix for this?
Or does anyone know what would cause it?? I have had it happen on different radios so the blame can't be there.
Or is it a hardware issue that I need another replacement for??
hermes's get hot. Thats a fact. they just shouldn't get too hot (4-5 hours of use, while charging, wifi on and so on...) because the heat could be transfered to the digitzer near the processor and if that happens the digitizer could become unresponsive (touchscreen->lookscreen^^)...
MY hermes is getting hot all day, if it gets too hot, I take an old cooler from a cpu, open the battery door and lie it on it ;-)
Regards,

Make sure you are using a 1A charger. This was a huge headache for me when I had my Wizard, the dude sold me it with a RAZR 750mAh charger and it caused me to buy 5 new batteries until I figured this small fact out!
Hello guys.
I have a Nexus 7, with a huge problem.
Ever since my little sister took it to Europe (and plugged it into a 220 volt instead of the 110 that we use here in the U.S), it died. Now, I've opened it and checked if the battery was somehow poorly plugged or something, but nothing.
The device will not turn on unless connected to a power source (and even then, not 100% of the time) (both my Macbook and wall work). This is what it looks like:

Is this a battery problem? Or a screen problem?
Also, when I took these pictures, it was the first time I could see the "Google" logo on the screen (although barely)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
From the look of it you have either a damaged motherboard or screen. The motherboard is probably more likely. Can you check on your charger and see what the input voltage is some chargers can cope with 100-240v. What happens when you turn it on/plug it into a computer does it boot is it recognised by the computer? And lastly is there any possibility it was dropped?
Its possible that doubling the input voltage may have produced a surge in the usb voltage but it would be more likely to just fry your charger.

Galaxy 5 continues to eat battery. Android operating system. The fix I tried didn't work. Obviously samsung dropped the ball on the Galaxy 5.

What's your signal strength like? If the G5 is like any other phone a low signal can really eat through the battery because the radio transmitter has to constantly transmit at full power to hit the tower. Try using Wi-Fi if you aren't already doing so and see if that helps.
So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?

I have a LG G2 which I'm working on for a friend. For what ever reason, the phone just started to rapidly drain, and will shut off anywhere from 50% to 20%. When the phone shuts off, it will only show the LG logo when trying to turn on. I then have to connect it to a charger, and when I turn it on with it plugged in, it will be around 65%-75%.
I've attempted to reset battery stats while at 100%, but with no success. I'm in process of wiping and restoring against my will. Anyone have a solution? I'm thinking it may just be a toast battery.
Here is a picture of the battery stats.

You should try replacing the battery, sounds like it's defective anyway. However, you may want to see what happens when you disconnect the battery, then connect it again.

I just disconnected the battery after a 100% charge. When I turned it on, it was at 95%, and has dropped to 90% in about 2 minutes. I've ordered a battery, so unless there is something else to try, I feel that's the only option at this point.
