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?

Battery drain problems... funky wakelocks... Please help!

I'm having a funky wakelock issue. Over the last couple of days I've had a PhoneApp partial wakelock that's been running almost continuously while the phones been off the charger. Today a new one related to the phone popped up. I've attached screen shots and dump files from better battery stats so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on.

I also have the log cat file if needed.

Do you have any MOD that enables the Torch/Flashlight to work from the lockscreen by long pressing volume up or down? I used to have that on and it killed battery from my experience

I do have that mod enabled although I have had it enabled for months and have not had any issues with it draining battery.

Yeah I would disable it for process of elimination to see if that's the cause.
Or another route is do you remember if you restarted your phone since you unplugged it off of the charger? Try to restart your phone everytime you take it off of a charger with the MOD enabled to see if that corrects it

I don't know why this fixed it but it did. I wonder what the developer changed in the coding to cause this to be an issue now

I read that not only the long press for torch but also the long press for music controls did the same thing. Thought it would be a great idea until I read about the power drain

With the note 3's massive battery I was still finishing an 18 hour day with 40-50 percent remaining but anything that hits battery life, in particular anything that keeps the phone from deep sleeping, has got to go.
For me it's not so much about day to day battery life as it is about long term battery health

Nexus 10 - Sudden battery (Drops to 0%)

Hi Guys,
I've seen a few people post about this error on reddit where their Nexus 10 is at anywhere from 30-60% battery and it suddenly drops to 0%, everyone reporting the problem seems to of had their tablet for a year and a half...
Why is this happening, what's the fix and is it the battery needing replacing?
Is this covered by warranty if purchased through the Google Play store?
Anyone able to help/advise?

Bad battery. I had to replace my battery and the problem went away. You will have to buy an aftermarket battery and install it.

Hi,
In my case the battery would drop from 20% to 0%, but after letting it fully discharge and then charge fully while turned off it stopped happening. Don't know why, but randomly it starts again, the same procedure always worked for me.
However in some cases it can be indeed a faulty battery and need replacement.

I contacted Google and apparently they'll fix it as the tablet is in good condition and it's still in it's 2 years warranty.

That's awesome....but I thought the N10 warranty was only one year.

"Phone" app draining battery.

Hello, this problem all started back when I was getting Google play services wakelock and battery drain on 4.4 CM. This led me to updating to 5.1.1 lollipop CyanogenMod which I switched from because I thought it was a problem with the ROM, so now I am on 5.1.1 PAC man ROM and the problem is still persisting. Here are screenshots of my gsam battery stats and the problem only occurs the phone app is used (I receive a call or place a call) and it doesn't happen everytime for example I can sometimes place 5 calls before the app starts to show up in gsam and it makes my phone ridiculously hot. If I turn the phone off for 10 minutes and turn it back on the problem will go away but no matter what it comes back. I'm hoping you guys can help me find a legitimate fix to this problem because my 7500mah battery is dying faster than the stock one when this problem is occurring.

Use a different ROM, no reason to buy a new phone.

That will be my last resort LOL. Reason why I rooted this thing in the first place. Between the TV my dad bought that broke in 3 years and all the problems unrelated to me this phone has had (USB port broke, screen defect that made the phone unusable, and now this) I will never buy Samsung again. Can't wait to get my lg g4

X Play Battery problems? Should I be worried?

Note: I haven't charged to a 100% yet. Just got the phone and it had 25%~ battery off the box

So what is the problem?

If you check the screenshots uploaded by other people about their battery life, you'll see that mine is WAY lower.

I'll test it out for a day or two. If the battery remains like this, I'll ask for a replacement.

This thread is so foolish. You got a phone with 25% battery, have probably been playing around with it, syncing everything, having the phone settle in, haven't fully charged it, and you're complaining about battery?
Do you also give 1 star reviews in the play store because an app that clearly says needs root, won't work on your non rooted phone? EVERY phone has to settle in. No phone is going to give you 5 hours screen on time with 25% battery from a fresh out of the box setup. Your expectations are way too high lol.
Give it time before you complain man, come on.

Hey, everyone
I am sorry, I haven't bought a new phone in 4 years. I had forgotten about how to bench phones. I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to know if I should be worried.

Just give it a day or two. It'll come around
