Battery draining fast, bottom of phone very hot.

What's at the bottom of the phone the cpu or radio? Whatever it is it is being taxed like crazy by something when the phone is idling with nothig running, including widgets.

Same here. After the recent update Im still getting the stuck at 90% indicator, and after I disconnect the phone's bottom will stay hot for the rest of the day... I'm worried it might blow in my pocket.

It's actually below the battery that gets the hottest, so I doubt the battery is in danger of blowing; can't be good for it's longevity though. At least for me it seems to be associated with charging, so actually doesn't seem bad while in pocket.

Seemed to be push exchange email doing it.

Can anyone get that to happen? Cuz I can't....

This happened to me last night after rooting my phone. The phone was hot and the battery died on me. I read on another forum someone posted that the exploid executable was still running in the background and you need to kill it manually from the shell or reboot. So that might be the cause of it.

I can't get it to do that either tried 10.
-McMex

I took mine back on the first day after I bought it when it did that. It was also locking up requiring battery removal 5 times in the first day. The kiosk where I bought it tried to tell me it was the network being overloaded was causing that. I said 'BS', either give me a new phone or a loaner till you get me a replacement, so they gave me a new phone on the 16th.
Have not had any trouble with the new one. Battery lasts three times as long as my evo did.

Well after fully charging and draining my phone about 5 times, I'm seeing that it still didnt last more then 4-5 hours with minimal use. I just went to my closest Verizon store and got a new battery for free. It's only been 4 hours, but my phone isnt as hot on the bottom( by speaker) and its still at 78%, which is much better.

I thought the phone reported in 10% increments :/

Funny I thought I read 78%... now its says 70%. Maybe it was always 70.

[Q] performance of the 'bigger' battery with current android builds?

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you out there are using the bigger battery, the one iwth the kickstand, with the current android builds, and how long does it last? The current one makes it through a day of heavy use, how much does that change with the new battery?

Well I've been using mine pretty heavily all day (bear in mind it's 22:35 where I am as I'm typing this). I've played a couple of YouTube vids, music aswell as check my Facebook and Twitter regularly and the battery is at 49% right now. I also use SETCPU which I'm sure makes a difference. Check my signature for my ROM and Android combo. Hope this answers your question

Can we specify what battery and how many MAH they are?

They're both talking about the official 2300mah extended battery.

That's correct

i just received one of the official 2300mAH batteries, (kickstand case)
i have run it overclocked with mdeejay's 2.1a for over 20hours now. (still using setcpu to turn clock to 384-245 screen off, clock is 119000 and 76800 normal.
doesnt heat up above 80degF
i would say they are worth it. (ebay ~35$US)

Holy mother are those things huge. Do you guys have a case that fits with that bad boy on it? That's just unreal battery life.

For sure, I don't know if it's worth it... decent battery life in android for a phone the size of an xbox 360 controller?!??!?! :}

I'd definitely say it's worth it. and it provides GREAT battery life for overclocked android. You'll realise how much more you can get done from just your phone with this battery. Especially when you're on the move

Thanks for your answer mate. I think it's definitely worth it too in that case. Besides, if the size bothers you, it's not like you have to use it constantly - I mean I'm fine with the standard battery for a normal day, but this would sure come in handy when traveling or sth along those lines.

Drain Battery without Galaxy 3?

I ordered a new battery but its gonna take some time before it arrives.
By the time I was thinking if there is any way to drain out my old battery without using my Galaxy 3?
Maybe like attaching a light bulb?
Is it possible?

w h y ??

I don't know.....
Just curious I guess.....
Or is there anyway by which the phone stops calculating the battery left and then directly switches off when the battery becomes 0?
And my new battery hasn't arrived yet.....

Maybe with a LED... not?

Don't do anything like this, it could kill the battery or even be more dangerous.

The battery is already as good as dead.
What worse could happen?

I tried it doesn't work. Moreover the statistic never restart. Now it shows more than 2 days with the battery and obviously it's not true. At the time of Desire I remember there was an app to recalibrate the battery, someone remember the name?

Try running this app to reset your battery stats.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en

Thanks but the app requires root, and probably all similar apps. I'll wait the 4.3 or I proceed with a reset. I very unlucky with nexus. Before N4 i had a GN, after 6 months I have to send it in warranty, they give me a new one and after 4 months the screen was always off. Now is it in warranty too. I have N4 from one month and it's starting to go crazy... However, thanks to everyone for the help

Do a full charge, unplug and see if that resets the stats. That does the same thing as the calibration app.

I had already tried but for 3 days N4 continued to had the same problem. Now seems to return normal. I'm not really sure but maybe using a car charger during a short trip could had help. However thanks to everyone

Mysterious Power Issue

X727
First off, all the ROMs I try I clean install. Currently on Resurrection Remix with Black Screen Kernel
No matter what ROM I try, my phone seems to go from 50% charge, to 0% charge randomly. Sometimes, it won't charge.
I've tried different adapters, different cables, etc.
Charged the phone before I went to bed last night, wake up with 0% battery. It didn't charge.
What else could this be? I'm trying to avoid getting a new phone, but idk what else to do.

Battery issue likely.

Ordering a new Anker Cable. Using an Aukey cable at the moment.
The performance just tanks when all this power stuff is happening too. Know of where I can order a genuine or better than OE battery for this relatively cheap?

You can see the instant tanks of battery life.

Personally I would go back to stock and return if you can.
Because it could be hardware.

I've had this for a little over a year. Don't think I'll be returning this. I cracked the screen too bleh. All of this was happening before I cracked the screen for the record.

What exactly is a QFL ROM? Looks like it could really **** my phone up if I don't use the right file, or do something wrong.

There are a lot of files in the main ROM that if your files are corrupted your phone is having trouble, then everything should be restarted again and the phone flashed with full ROM.
