I have two months from the S4 and I noticed recently that the phone after plugging in the charger charges up to 100% and never stops charging.
After 1-2 hours, the phone is warm but still indicates that this is charging.
After disconnecting the charger in a few minutes the charge status of the battery drops to 80% and later is "normal", the phone works for a few days.
I tried the charger from HTC, Xperia Z but still the same problem.
In S3 there was no such problem.
He met someone with something like that?
Clean your usb port. Probably it got wet somehow.

Well now that you've charged it with a different kind of charger that may have less or more required power rating, time for a new battery... But for your situation you needed a new one anyway if it was doing that. My S2 did the same thing (replaced it with a new battery now it's running normal). But yeah never use a different charger unless it has the same power rating or whatever its called. Since your S4 is only two months old claim it under warranty and get a new one.
Other chargers tested just as soon as you notice problems with charging the.
Before taking the warranty will test a different battery.
A new battery will cost less than anything related to the warranty...
fter many wipe on the original firmware looks as if the problem is gone.
But change the firmware to another, such as Omega causing the problem comes back: (

hey guys, i was wondering if you've noticed that it takes the battery an extremely long time to charge to 100% through the AC adaptor.
i actually don't have a i9000, i'm on the US att variant captivate. i'm trying to figure out if this is a model specific problem (ie. just for us att users) or is it for all of the galaxy s phones.
while the galaxy s does have an extremely large battery, it shouldn't take 6 minutes to charge only 1% of battery. i've noticed that charging my captivate for 2 hours only nets a 40-50% charge, which is far lower than what i had previously experienced on my iphone and sony ericsson phones.
in my opinion, this is the biggest problem of my phone especially since i'm always on the go. i may have to switch phones since i always don't have the luxury of charging for 7-8 hours at a time.
thanks.
Yea the charge speed is very slow while the phone is turned ON.
- However when its turned off it charges really fast, like 30 min for full battery.

I guess I had the same issue, slow charging lateron when the battery fully drained it refused to charge and hence cannot start. I tried via usb cable when I panicked something went wrong so I hard reset my phone to see if it is some software issue. It happened once again phone cannot be switched on since it cannot recharge via adapter, so took it to the service center they tested it and told me that the problem is with the AC adapter.
Now the phone is with me, I am still monitoring it to see and confirm once again that charging via usb cable is not an issue.
To full chagne the battery, need more than 10 hours. Tried different ROMs, Batteries, changers, cables. the same result.
It looks like a hardware issue...... but....
when I used a DC power supplier(5.2V, limit to 1A) and plug in the cable, it appears the DC current is 0.5A, and after 10 second, fall down to 0.1A. at least, in the first 10secend the hardware worked all right...
Do you use the original OEM charger ?
Have you tried a different charger ?
How old is your Note ? Have you tested a different battery too ?

I was quite surprised when I switched to the Note from the Dell Steak. My old phone would charge much quicker. The Note takes about six hours to fully charge I'd say. As a result I plug it in pretty much whenever I can.

Yeah, Mine can take around 5+ hours too if im charging it from <5%
Bear in mind that it is a bigger than normal battery, 2500mah.
But if it is like you say, Taking 10+hours to charge, Id get it looked at, Maybe send it off for repair or something.

Isn't it bad to constantly charge your phone even when it still has battery?
I heard it reduces the battery's life span.
I dont believe it is, I often charge mine even when its got plenty of juice left.
It may reduce life span, But the battery will live longer than the time you will own the phone so i guess it dont matter
No one can help. feel bad.
I saw sevral links saying same problem, but no solutions... poor us...

From what I've read, it's what you're supposed to do with the current generation of batteries. But then there's so much crap floating about about batteries it gets hard to figure out what is reliable info.
And this is with the original charger? If it's not an official charger, there's a big chance the phone will draw only what's usually allowed across USB. Which isn't much... In fact, with USB, the power draw of GPS/screen on/games can make your phone discharge even with the charger on. So try the official charger, on AC power.
Same problem...
I have the same problem.
At the beginning, about 3 months ago, my SGN works fine, battery are charged to 100% in 2 hours maximum.
I'm buy the phone from a Samsung Store, all accessories are originals. Today I send my phone to the technical assistance and there's no problem with battery or the charger.
My problem stars about 3 weeks, with an alert about different voltages after a full charge, the problem was solved only removing the battery and waiting an hour. At the technical assistance, the answer was to charge the phone when it's shutdown.
I already try that, format the cache, rebuild the system, everything using the ICS LQ3 from Baltic.

Is the problme solved after remove the battery for 1 hour?
paddyzou, the problem with the wrongs voltages, yes, my steps to solve this:
- Full discharge
- Shutdown of the phone
- Remove the battery for 1 hour
- Full charge with the phone hang out
The problem with the low charge I think that was okay, it's seen to be happen in random times, I just flash another LQ3(France) version of ICS yesterday and seems to be working fine.

This is correct, a chemical reaction takes place while the battery is discharging and is reversed when charging(changing). The chemistry of the battery changes how they hold energy. The Lithium ion batteries in our phones can be charged any time, they have no "memory" characteristics like previous rechargeable batteries (NiCd).
OP, it sounds like your charger is going. My stock HTC charger (2-3 years old) now only charges at about 40% the speed, which means the phone will discharge while its plugged in. I recommend grabbing one of those tiny square usb chargers (1A 5v, not 0.5A). I got one for like $6, as long as its 1A it will be quick.
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.

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.
The past couple months I have had some charging issues with my phone. The first few times it just didn't want to recognize the charger or would only slow charge. A couple times cleaning the port helped. Then it seemed like the cord might be the problem so I ordered a new OEM one. The problem has gotten worse and happens the same with the brand new charger.
The last few days it will fast charge to 70% and then stop charging altogether. I can't get it to take any more than 70%. I had the accubattery app which had a feature to stop the charging at a preset value to prevent wear of the battery. I only used this for a little bit and turned it off. Then I uninstalled the app in case a glitch was causing it to keep stopping the charge.
I have a new OEM battery ready to install if the battery is indeed faulty but even starting at 70% I can't kill the phone in a day so I'm not rushing to replace the battery yet. I'm just not sure that is the problem.
The phone is not rooted and is completely stock. It hasn't been wiped or anything since I bought it new over a year ago. Anyone have any ideas?

Update: I powered off the phone when it was refusing to charge at all and it was down to 56 percent. While powered off it charged all the way up to 100% no problem and since doing that it will charge without problems. Seems like this fixed it.
Update: the problem is still there. Still not charging above 70% while turned on. Not sure if the battery is failing or if it's a software issue.
Does anyone know of any other forums people might be discussing issues with the OnePlus 5? This forum is looking quiet these days and/or people aren't having a lot of hardware issues with this phone (hopefully).

The op5 forum isn't quiet. If nobody has an idea or any possible solution for you, you won't receive an answer. Seems you're the only one who has this sort of problem.
If you have warranty, just claim it. That's the easier way. Cause when it's the logic board or parts of it, it can be expensive.
It's already over a year old so no more warranty. I'm just going to try replacing the battery when I get a chance. If that doesn't work I'll try a new charging port (already tried a new charger).

Have you tried using the Ampere app? It does not make any magic, but it can give you and idea of what the problem may be.

Yes I installed it the other day and discovered when I was plugged in above 70% it was actually charging but very slowly. But this isn't always the case because when I first discovered the problem I kept waking up with a phone at 70% that had been plugged in all night.
I'm not sure how long ago this started because I typically try to charge it in the morning after my alarm goes off since dash charging is so fast. Eventually I noticed it never getting above 70% so I plugged it in overnight and still didn't get over 70%.
Accubattery says my battery is now 82% healthy. Despite not being able to charge above 70 I can still get a heavy days usage or a couple easy days. So maybe the lost health in my battery came completely off the top of the displayed percentage of my battery?
Occasionally it seemed like my phone wouldn't charge at all no matter what the percentage so the problem could be worse, but I may also be dealing with a worn out 1 year old charger cable and a new one I got a month ago that is defective because when I couldn't charge at all with the new one the old one charged fine. So I'm still trying to figure this out.

i am facing the same issue, i keep plugging the charger in and out till it works ... don't know why
Now that I've gone back to the original charger it seems to be making it to 100% every time and no longer seems to stop at 70 but if I move the phone a little while plugged in it sometimes stops dash charging and starts slow charging. Before when I heard it stop charging and start charging again randomly while I was in bed (it makes that little sound when dash charging starts) it was sitting on the floor unmoved.
So I think my possibilities are 1) 2 bad chargers
2) 1 bad charger and a bad charging port
3) bad charging port
4) bad battery + 1 or more bad chargers.
Or any other combinations of those problems. I think I'm dealing with 2 issues and that's why I can't figure it out.
Hi,
I own a Galaxy Not 10.1 2014 Wifi (SM-P600) currently running RessurectionRemix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-p600-wifi-t3606313)
Last year I replaced my battery with a new Samsung Original battery. But now i cant get the battery to charge to 100%. It always stops at ~45%.
If i check the charge current with the app Ampere it says maximum 450mA. It makes no difference which charger or cable I use.
Because of the loose fit of the MicroUSB connector I also replaced the connector unit.
Ampere also says that the battery is in good condition.
I also measured the battery voltage using a multimeter directly on the terminals of the two cells. Both cells had around 4.2V when the tablet stopped charging and showed a batterylevel of ~45%.
Is there anything I can do to get 100% and a higher charge current. Because now even if I plug the tablet into the charger the battery keeps draining while using it.

This is probably not what you're going to want to hear, but I faced the exact same issue and decided to power cycle the battery (drain it fully, charge it up to 100%). I got to the drain fully part and then it wouldn't charge anymore. I had tried the same thing as you with multiple cords and tried charging from a couple of different power banks as well.
My advice if you love your device like I do...buy another battery and keep it plugged in until you can swap it out with a new one. Once it hit 1% it was gone for good. This happens to me every 1-2 years...I've changed the battery in mine 3 times. Personally I think it's the OEM replacement batteries that are garbage. Next time I'm going to buy the newpower99 one and see if it lasts longer.
TLDR: keep it plugged in, buy a new battery, replace ASAP.
If you do get it working though I would love to hear your solution in case it happens again!
Well I did find a "solution".
It seems that the power management is quite bad on the Samsung devices, which means it has to be reseted from time to time. I could fix it partially by disconnecting the battery for ~10 Minutes and reconnecting it.
Now I got 75-80% charge and a reasonably charge current. But now the low voltage detection seems to be a bit off. At ~25% the screens stars flickering and it turns off after a short time.
I found this hint in the comments of a YouTube video about replacing the battery or charging connector.

I will definitely try that out thank you! Mine does that at around 10% and there are times the battery will say it's at 30% then drop to <5% in a few minutes. I just leave it on the charger over night now which I know isn't the best for battery life but at least it keeps it on when I use it
cheers
Battery management is voltage based. The Android Coulometer mainly has to filter short voltage drops caused by high cpu load.
If the Coulometer begins to show sudden changes in capacity and causes premature shutdowns, you can flash the coulometer firmware, if you're running stock rom. Reinstalling stock rom in Download Mode should also help.
There are only few sources on the net dealing with this coulometer thing and only for certain devices.
But if you do nothing, the capacity jumps will fade away with time. It took months on an old tablet of mine, but the period of time may depend on the time since the last full factory reset or system recovery. And my (and your) Note are older today than this tablet back then...
Then there's always real cable and battery isdues.
