Hi,
Recently I purchased galaxy s4. Initially I charged my phone with galaxy grands's charger for a couple of days ( As the charger look alike I thought both chargers are same ) . My battery used to drain very fast. However when I discover that s4's charger is high powered..I switched to it. There is a slight improvement in battery backup but I am not receiving the actual backup. What should I do ? Should I calibrate my battery. If so, what is the procedure?
Thanks
Some battery data would help. Numbers, please.

U can use the phone till it completly gets dry and then charge full and use may help
If not u can reset the device completly and see mostly this will be solving the issue
there are some apps which does calibrating the battery however i never had to use the same
u can try this app and see if this helps

If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...
From your message, everything points to a bad battery...
Good luck!
Thanks for replying
Hey
what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?
i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!
so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem
What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY
But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case
So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it
it would be great thanks in advance!!!!

It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.
An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.
Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.
hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs
It twice charged till 100% now does not charge above 70%
Same problem here
I am using Blackstone with official ROM. Its a new one. Less than one week old. Its battery is not getting charge more than 55%. Why so? I kept it on charger for one FULL night. But still its not charging above 55%. Please give me a solution for that.
Plz help

Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.

It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.
hey thanks for replying
I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%
charger is having rating output- 5V - 1A
if u say to change the ROM then which u prefer
I AM USING NFS FAN V17

Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!
did the same but i think the problem is wid charger
coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer
but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge
but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???

Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.
Hey all,
I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue (I searched the forums and didn't see anything). I noticed that the past 3 times I've charged my phone to 100%, the battery drain immediately after unplugging is around 3%/hour even if I don't use the phone. Then after the battery reaches anywhere in the 92 - 94% range, it settles down to about 0.8%/hour without me rebooting or taking any action. I know these numbers only because I have Better Battery Stats installed however I can't really tell what is chewing the battery since I haven't rooted yet.
Is this normal? I'm coming from a Note II that I rooted and installed a custom ROM and did not experience this.
That being said, I am super impressed with the battery on this thing. I am getting almost the same drain as my Note II which had a custom ROM installed.
Thanks ahead for any help/advice you can give me!
Hi i am also facing same issue.After fully charge the first 5 to 6 % battery draining very fastly approximately around 15 mins of usage then after that the battery settles and the draining will be normal.Does any one else is facing the same issue what may be the problem and resolution for this?

I noticed that as well..
I am considering rooting... not sure but I may get an answer through BBS with root features.
Also next time I charge, I'm going to try rebooting the phone immediately after unplugging from the power source.
I think that is just how the way battery percentage is calculated. I read somewhere that from the first 10 or 15 percent are somewhat inaccurate.
Sorry, I'll try and find a source for this later. Currently at school.
Are you guys charging from the wall charger or from the computer usb? And also, I remember non oem chargers tend to do this on my S4 and htc one.... haven't tested on my s5 yet though
Hi I am using the standard charge that comes along with the phone by the way what is the meaning of non oem charger

Sorry that's info I should have specified in OP... I'm using the charger that came with the phone and it is happening both through the wall and from the computer USB.
I have Galaxy S4 I9515 Black Edition, KitKat 4.4.2, stock rom and not Rooted.
I bought this phone new 6 months ago. I charged my phone completely yesterday and used it till midnight when its charging got 0%. I put it on charging whole night but I saw it that it was not charging. I left it for whole and night and saw it next day. I turned on my phone and it was 54% charged. I was using original charger that came with phone. I put it on charging again, it showed that it was charging but actually it was discharging. I installed battery monitor app to check it. It showed: Usb connected and discharging. Battery health was good. I used another charger of nexus 7 (2012) but it did the same. Showing that it was charging but it was actually discharging. The current sign on battery is black as it should be.
I think battery is not working well. I restarted phone. Took out battery and put it in. Still same. There is no physical change on battery. I am thinking to change the battery. It won't turn on now.
What do you suggest guys?

It still in warranty if you bought it new 6 months ago. Fix or replace it in the store that you took it.

Well its imported and it has no warranty. What do you think will be the problem? What will be the cost of repairing? Another option is that I will sell it.
I reset my phone via recovery. Now its not charging with any charger. No sign of charging. What is the problem??? Please Help....

It could be the mainboard or USB port. You can change the USB port manually following this little GUIDE or going to one service center store.
software related?

It could be a lot of software running on your phone bogging your cpu. Hold home button swipe away running apps. Open task manager and clear memory.
Then go to android settings, more, battery and look at what is using the most power.

its possible that your phones charger may be shot or the connections may be dirty probaby more on the dirty side clean it with a q tip
So, I sent my phone to repair centre and they said that the crystal ic in it is not working. I will be fixed from the Samsung Centre. Now I am going to send it there. Lets hope it gets fixed.
I was searching for a way to use my note 4 (n910F) at home plugged on the charger with the screen always on without damaging my new battery. So I managed to fit a samsung pocket neo (S5310B) 1,000mah battery on my note 4 case. The phone works pretty well with the charger on. But I'm afraid there can be any consequences to my device, this little old samsung battery probably dont suport fast charging nor it was built to feed the note 4 (much) bigger power drain. Can anybody tell me if is there any chance of something bad happening ? (the battery exploding or something like that.....) What parameter should I be watching ? (I can access the battery voltage and temp) Thank youuuu all in advance.
2 years ago, I managed to use old cheap Nokia battery [800mAh] in my Galaxy W [1500mAh] everything was OK, but I felt it's not a safe way.
Instead, you can use an extended battery like Zerolemon 10,000 mAh which last for 13+ hours Screen on Time and no need to keep your phone in the charger all the time which is dangerous.
Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.
https: //zapodaj.net/21c02b80b986a.png.html
Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Hi
Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
