There must be something killing the battery or running in the background
try closing all the app in the background reboot and see
Or try Reset and check issue should be gone
Check serial number if it starts with BD chances are you have a faulty battery (Samsung announced a recall on that batch of batteries)
Is your battery 'swollen' in the middle? If so this is a symptom of the bad batteries

I left my phone on charge all night, I just woke up, un plugged it and it's gone down 3% in just a few minutes... Going to let the battery completely fire today.

FACE PALM -.-'
Battery never (NEVER) charge up to 100%. Read about it in STICKY POSTS -.-'
That's okay, we've already had this topic a few times.

I think you should remove the theme that gives you battery percentage values and go out enjoy the sunshine...
use search please...
So I have noticed that the battery on the tab does not show fully 100% charged. Every time I charge the tab overnight and I bring up the notification bar the battery only shows 99% charged, this is as soon as I unplug the charger. The tab can not loose 1% charge in the second it takes to disconnect it. I have noticed that this also happens with the original tab and no one could figure out why. What is the deal with this?

Yeah, I've noticed as well, but dont care too much

Because as soon as it loses 1/1000th of a percent, it is no longer 100% charged. So it shows 99%. That's just the way it is.

Hey Guys,
I have been following this thread since a while and finally took the plunge with the S3.
it was a blue s3 and i loved it.
All stock, not rooted nothing..
So i was downloading my games and apps the first day all went well
the second night, i bought NOVA 3, and put it for charge while downloading the 1.7 gb data for the game over wifi.
i woke up in the morning and the phone is dead, it shows a yellow connect it to kies message.
I dont know what happened?
took it to the service center, they tried re-installing the firmware, but no avail. finally told me they have to replace the motherboard it was fried.
I fought with them and managed to get a replacement unit which im gonna get on monday.
The ordeal aside, i want to know, is it possible this happened because i downloaded too many games(6 actually)
each with about 400 mb data.
can a phone get bricked if i download nova 3's data of 1.6 gb
cause i am going to get all my games again.
so help with the solution!!
probably a 1 off defective unit.
You left it charging overnight right, have you considered a power surge may have fried it?
It's better to wake up early in the morning and put it on charge than to leave it overnight.
Sorry about your loss though.

Not true. Modern mobile batteries like s3' have overcharge guard

To answer your question, you just had a defective unit that's all.

I think heating was the problem... I remember few guys with sgs2 with same problem reporting..

I don't think the game's could do anything wrong to you while downloading.
Btw while playing games on SIII take care as the Phone's temperature reaches the sky and literally i have to close down the game because the phone becomes too hot.

power surge and over charge are totally different things. over charge protection would not prevent a power surge.
Most probably just a defective unit.
I left my HTC Sensation charging overnight once, and somehow there was an app running continuously and when I woke up the phone was scalding hot to touch. I freaked out and pulled the battery and let the whole thing cool before I booted it up again. Might not be relevant but just goes to show that our phones can take more heat than we think.

Well I have been charging my handsets overnight for at least 6 years now and I have never had a fried nokia, hero, desire, sgs2 or sgs3 ever.
Charging overnight is safe

wrong sub section but in answer, my s2 done that all the time almost after flashing a rom.
could start off at 100%, flash a rom and itd be at say 25% then start building up again toward its correct %. no biggy, its kinda normal :good:
Wrong section to post this but this problem also happens on my s2, it is something wrong with the fuel gauge. Just do regular charging and discharging and it should return to normal.

Your battery has a problem. Cause of overcharging.

If you've flashed a new rom, often the history of battery values and voltages get messed up. So its not really sure what percentage of battery is left when the battery is at X volts for example. Usually a complete discharge followed by a full charge should recalibrate the battery monitoring.

Try a few complete charge cycles. Hopefully it should fix itself coz its not really uncommon.
you should download battery calibration app
