Hi,
My phone needs about 8-9 our or so to charge completely. In the beginning (5 days ago) it took something like 2 hours. I am only using the original charger with about 2 amperes output.
May this be a software problem? I havent rooted my phone (yet) but I wonder if a reset will help or if this most probably is a hardware issue.

Almost sounds like a weak cable connection.

Hi, if you are charging from a computer this is still slow but not impossible. If it takes this long from a power point I think you should get your phone checked. Also doing a reset will not do anything

If u didn't have problem so it might be some bad configuration of save power (If u tried to do sth with it)
anyway first just restart phone
then flash another ROM with Odin (it will remain ur data) / And also check kernel and compare date of ur kernel with others if thr s different try to update with kies and if no update available Flash kernel
THEN if ur problem appear again try reset factory (u will lose all ur data)
:good:
Thank you, I'll just have to get it checked. Incredibly annoying after just one week of use on such a product.

Flashing Stock Rom or stock kernel doesn't mean root and not void ur warranty
Are you charging it through USB on your PC? If so, try connecting the cable to a USB 3.0 port if you have one (properly configured with all drivers installed). If you're charging it with AC power, try with a different cable (as suggested) or a different charger (the S4s charger is quite powerful, 2 amps).
Did you try checking do you happen to have some app running while it's charging? If you have an app that is drawing power while operating, it can slow down the charging process.
That's all I can think of at the moment.

Hi all. I have a problem with charging my phone. I always leave it to charge overnight and since few days it is going weired. It says it is charged but if I reboot it it boots up on 77percent. If i plug it in it charges until 100 bu then there are some stripes going through the screen as in old TVs, after reboot still 77 percent.
When i turn it off i boots up on its own to power off charging screen and shows a sighn similar to thermometer next to battery. The phone does not feel hot at all.
I am on MIUI 1.11.18.
Yesterday changed kernel to Siyah hoping that it would help... bu it didnt.
Any suggestions?

You have to recalibrate your battery once you switched to another rom.
already done it and no change... I just wonder if its down to software or hardware issue?
I will try to flash different rom and see how it goes.
Search around the forum for this. The only proper way to recalibrate the battery on the s2 is to take the battery out and leave it out for a few minutes. Delete battery stats just in case.
This has happened to me a few times and it usually sorts itself out in the end...

I have sent the phone for repair. We will see what they say.
I did not reset custom binary count so the may invalidate warranty... we will see
Why would you send the phone in? The issue is clearly software 0_o
Well I reckon that if it was software it would be gone after full wipe and original ROM flashing.
But the issue was still there... so I ve decided it will be best to send it off for repair.
Phone came back yesterday. Although I have not received any advise note I think the battery was replaced.
It works fine now.
Strange thing they did not do any firmware upgrade...

Why do you want to disable it
Doesn't charging the battery frequently decrease the battery life?? I mean whenever I need to transfer a file from the pc to the sd it starts charging won't that affect the battery??
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I thought that a frequent charge is better for the battery..
That was with the old batteries, when a chargenof 5% counted as one full charge.
On the new ones 20x5% (100%) counts as a full charge so don't worry.

This problem started with my phone a couple weeks ago. I seem to have problems charging my phone. I cannot charge my phone while it's off. If I plug it into a power source via the cable it turns itself on.
Sometimes it will not charge. It usually happens if I use the phone while it's plugged into something while charging. In the status bar it indicates it is not charging. To make get it to charge the battery again I have to take out the battery and restart the phone. Sometimes I have to do this a few times before it starts charging again.
I've got my phone rooted with CWM and i'm running CM7

I'm not sure. I have a CM7 nightly from 11-16-2011. It was the second to the last nightly that was made for it. It seemed to have less issues then the latest one. But, I've flashed different ROMs available from CWM and the charging issue was still present.
This is what my I have.

Have you tried to Odin to stock using v 2.2pit? Could be something buggy in your data or partitions. i.have found that some things can only be solved this way.. If you odin to stock and it still happens then it is most likely hardware.. If you need help with odin use droidstyles guide in the general section

I seem to have another problem. Two laptops of mine can't communicate with my phone. I've installed a samsung driver for them but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe the driver I'm trying to use is outdated or bad. Can you direct me to a place that may have a working driver?

Ugh, things are just not working out for me lately. All is moot now. My screen is broken. Looks like I won't be talking to anyone for awhile and my job search just got more difficult. FML
i've gotten a replacement fascinate. i forgot i had insurance. neh4pres... do you know where i can a copy of that eh03 radio? every link i've found seems to refer to the same one and that link has been down. i'm itchin to get ICS on my phone now and i can't get that radio.
What radio do you have now? From what I've read you should be fine on ICS with EC09, or the previous one which I can't recall the name of (or EH03 obviously). Earlier ones might work too, I don't know, but I think those three most recent are recommended. Sorry I can't help with a link or anything, I've just got the EC09 one at the moment.
Try this. QUOTE=imnuts;23171512]Found that I had downloaded the original EH03 file when it was posted, so I uploaded it for people to use (and provide a mirror). Enjoy

my replacement fassy is completely stock and came with an EH03. does that actually simplify things?
Yeah if you're already on EH03 than I wouldn't worry about the radio. If you get the itch to try out ICS, check out droidstyle's guide, it has everything to get you up and running. I recommend AOKP or teamhacksung's ICS (on rootzwiki).
I'm on ICS hacksung's 6.5 build!!! Yes! Thank you so much for helping this noob!
No problem, THS 6.5 is a great rom!
Hello smart people... So I updated my nexus 4 to the 4.3.3 version and now it just won't charge... It has been connected to the wall charger for 6 hours and still 34%... Please help!!! Also I have absolutely no tech knowledge... So easy instructions please???
It doesn't make sense that the update would cause the phone not to charge. If try a different charger or a pc. See if it'll charge then. If it still doesn't then I'd try reflashing the factory image

Hi All,
Everything was ok till the day before yesterday. But suddenly from yesterday I am facing a huge battery drain problem i.e. 1% per minute on my S4. I am running the latest version of Arrow Rom.
I did format everything and reinstall Arrow Rom but no luck. Then I restored my previous Stock CWM backup and again problem is same.
One more thing my phone's battery is taking too much time to full charge. It takes 5 to 6 minutes to charge 1%. Sometimes it takes more than that.Although my phone is only one year old. When Iam using phone for browsing or chatting with charger plugged in its not charging properly its decreasing.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?

Your battery is more likely to be uncalibrated. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play and follow the steps on how to calibrate it. It requires ROOT. Any other things that can cause this are wakelocks, be careful what kernel you use. You can monitor wakelocks using Wakelock Detector from Google Play.
Or your battery might be a faulty one, check if its swollen

How old is the battery?? Over one year? Buy new one.

Use power saving mode install stock rom
Auto brightness
Format sd card
Remove unnessesary apps
Stop all unusual apps like google plus hangout and play books etc etc those you don't use.
Disable chrome use dolfin or other's.
If you are using custom kernel or mods like audio mod or performance mods don't use them.
Auto sync off when not needed
If these steps don't work then change the battery
For charging use 2amp charger with a 16amp socket
Use stock usb
Clean your battery's copper area with petrol and also clean your
Usb cable and ports sockets
Hope this will help
And I know my English is not good.
