[Q] Battery dont charge - MB526 on CM10 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. After installing the CM10 version of October 30, I had an issue when used it by the end the battery level. The battery on my Defy + now does not charge.
I tested with several different outlets, including leaving more than 24 h charging, but the phone not charging, and even starts in Recovery Mode.
Also tested with another charger, but the result is the same, the battery does not charge.
I appreciate all the help possible, and excuse me grammar mistakes.
Thanks!

[Q] Really high battery drain for 2-3 hours right after charging, then settles

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.

[Q] G900P Slow battery charge..fix?

Hey guys. I just purchased the phone and the charging on it is slow as @#@Q. WHen it does fully charge it drains fast, 10 hours with light usage. I have disabled and deleted many apps so far and no go. Right now I am hopeful that disabling google search works. Has anybody else had this issue and have any fixes? My next step is to do a full factory reset, which is no biggy since its new. But would suck to have to download everything again.

Are you using the Samsung OEM charger and cable? If not you will experience slower charging. This is due to the specifications on the adapter + phone itself detecting each other, and applying a special charge voltage.

Of course. Even if I didn't it should never take 5+ hours to charge off of usb 3.0 especially with my pc which has a feature that boosts the amperage for charging. Also a slow charge shouldn't affect its discharge rate.
I fixed the slow charge
Google Search was the problem child. I stopped it and the charging took off. I restarted the app, just because I like it, and it hasnt caused a problem since.
Now for the battery drain, it has only slightly improved. It lasted about 15 hours yesterday with very very light use. Today I let it charge an extra 12 hours and cross my fingers it has only discharged 4 percent with about 30 minutes of talk time and two hours off charger.
What roms camn I flash on the Sprint G900P? On My TMO s4 M919, I was also able to flash the international i9505

Battery not charging past 80% after battery change

Hi folks,
I recently got a new battery for my S3 neo to replace my rapidly deteriorating original.
since the switch, i've been unable to charge EITHER battery up to 100% without waiting many hours for it trickle charge up from 80%.
here's the background:
i switched out the batteries when the old one was fully charged (since i was going to store it).
when i put in the new one, it read 84% when turned on again, i thought this was acceptable, since the battery would have been stored for a while before i bought it.
however, when charging this battery up again, it would hit around 76-77% and start trickle charging, as if charging from 95 to 100%
im not really sure how to fix this, and i have tried wiping cache, and running the battery down to 0% and charging from there. i have my theory, but am not sure its at all correct!
my theory (please tell me if i'm wrong)
when the battery jumped from 100% to 84% following the battery switch, that reset 84% to "fully charged" somehow
this would leave being fully charged as 1764Mah in the battery instead of 2100Mah
and by charging to 84%, then switching in a 100% battery this might be somehow reversed?
Would really appreciate any ideas people may have, since the already poor battery life (2 hours screen on) has now gotten even worse!

One Plus 2 battery drain

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.

Weird charging issue with Moto G5 Plus

Peace be upon you Brothers
For the past couple of days, I've been facing this weird charging issue with my Moto G5 Plus. When I plug the charger in - the phone says it's charging, but the battery percentage remains the same for hours. After 2-3 hours of charging this way, if I unplug the charger and replug it, within a couple of seconds the battery capacity suddenly shoots up to 100%. I have the original Motorola charger, a Nokia/Microsoft charger, and a battery pack that I've tried with same results. Any advice?

I don't have much to offer, but is it rooted? If it is, you can try a battery calibration app to try to recalibrate the battery, although I doubt that would help. It seems like it's charging fine but the system isn't registering the battery life until you unplug the phone and it forces the system to check the battery life (in case it's at 0-1% and has to shut down.)
In any case, if it's rooted, it's worth a try.

Battery calibration is a fake.
Maybe your battery is dead... it happens...

Oh hey, you're right! I just remembered it was something people recommended back in the day with custom roms and thought I'd suggest it.

Thankyou for replying...
The issue came 4 days back when the phone was still running stock rom oreo. I thought the problem came due to the latest security update. But i rooted and install custom romed my phone yesterday and the problem still persists.

Now i am calibrating the battery in hope if it resolves charging issue. I connect the switched off phone when it shuts itself down at 0 % to the charger, it shoots upto 70 % sometimes 60, other times it shows 80 %. The number gradually decreases to 2 % during the charging. After 2 to 3 hours when i switch on the phone it shows a charged battery upto 70 to 80 %. And give me a wonderfully remarkable stand by time as i assumed that the custom ROM. It discharges normally. I cannot understand the nature of it cause i like to use my phone when it is 100 % charged and use it untill it reaches 15 %.

It seems the battery is good and, it just need the battery calibration.as it is giving a long life. But you should not fully charge the battery as lithium ion battery is capable of full charge,so you should charge it upto 80%-90%.
