phone charging problems

hey xda friends,
i have a small problem with my batterie /charger.
it is charging very slowly i am running cm7 so i plug it in very often yesterday at 6 pm it was almost flat so i plugged it in but keep on chatting and surfing/reading so battery wasn't gaining and it kept reading 5% (same as when i plugged it in) i thought well it's just usb so i use a lot of power and it keeps it's level
but when i got to bed (1am ) it let my wallcharger do the task
today when i got up(6am) i looked at my phone and it only read 80% (before i deplugged it) perhaps somebody knows the problem (battery /phone) i have just original parts (charger and battery) i am running cm7 for a while (yesterday i just switched to 2.3.3) never had this problem before....
i tried
power off
power on
pull battery
wipe battery stats
....
thank you for your help

Could it be you have something draining the battery heavily?
try a full wipe then reflash

no new installed apps and unplugged it drains normally

Pull the battery, and with the battery out hold the power button for a good 30 sec, on most hardware these days this is how you usually hard reset the power management unit. Try it and lemme know how it goes.
i dunno if this will work for SGS but i guess you have nothing to lose.

thank you for your help unfortunatly it didn't work ordered a new batterie will report

push it real good nanana

if the battery drains normally.. .. then perhaps it's the charger itself (???)

I was seeing something like this but not as drastic. Tried a different wall plug and things were better.

i tried it at two spots but with same results on both outlets my desire hd charges nornally
i think it could be the battery
i get a new one on monday i will report

I have a similar problem. My phone also never charge to 100 percent. It reaches to max 85-90 percent and if i continue to charge it starts discharging. If i let it to charge till morning, when i disconnect the charger i read 65-70 percent. I have another battery but not original, it behaves more weird. Dont know if the battery is problem.

I have tested with the wallcharger. It charges to 100 %. And the phone battery drainage is normal. Like 2 days.
Remaining possibilities.
1) Firmware problem. Reflashed the phone with the new firmware. I will see if it changes anything. Not likely though.
2) Hardware problem. The phone's charging usb part damaged and there is some kind of disconnection.
3)May be bootloader got damaged??? Even if the phone closed, it doesn't charge to full capacity.
Edit: The problem seems to be the second one. While flashing with odin it failed many many times. I was just scared that the phone was brick.
Then i realised that the connection with odin is not stable. I press with my finger the the usb charging cable to left and right and I have seen that
the connection comes and goes. After that i have succeeded to flash the phone while pressing to the mini-usb part with my finger. it seems that
that while charging also the connection is not stable so it never fully charges.

[Q] Samsung Tab 7.7 - Battery Life & Warnings

Hi there, I purchased my 7.7 Tab 3 weeks ago. Loved it as expected. I've got few concerns about the battery though. Hope someone can share solutions / experiences with me.
The battery life isn't so impressive as I heard about from reviews and all. It lasts hardly 48 hours after a full charging with no real use for more than 30 minutesx2 times within less than 48 hours. However, it was connected to WiFi all the time and was syncing as well (but on standby all the time). Now another bugging problem is that when I plug the charger after the battery having completely drained and the device is turned off by itself (before completing 48 hours), the screen shows a warning logo first instead of the charging icon. The warning logo has warning sign and the icon of a drained battery with a red color at the bottom of it. I do not know what does that mean. I just know that when that appears, the device is not charging at all. I have unplugged and plugged it back 3 times to get it charging again. So far, it happened two times and I am sure it will happen again but I just want to know whether this is the sign of an unhealthy battery or any other parts of the device? This happened to anyone else? Your feedback is welcome and well appreciated.

Install SetCPU. :good:

sometimes... the cable is the culprit... a damage cable will gave the same error... btw.. it is not advisable to really drain the battery dry before charge it... but that just my opinion... just try to check the cable... and if there is anyone around you that having the same cable... test to charge your device with their charger...

First of all, you may not want to have left the battery completely drained, as this might damage the battery. Secondly, since your battery is completely drained, some undercurrent protection mechanisms must be activated, and there should have enough input current before the battery could be charged again. The data cable should not have enough current to charge up the battery at this state, it is lucky for you that you got it charging again after three trials.
If you drained up the battery again, it's recommended to charge it up with the AC charger.

Problem in charging

Does anyone experience this.When I try to charg my phone in offline mode(Turned off), it just vibrates every 2 seconds and shows a line across the screen and disappear as though something was going to show but stopped. I turned on the phone and see if ita charging,the status indicates it is charging but it doesnt.i charged my phone for 3 hours..from 15% battery it turns into 6% while the cable is attached.

Note 4 annoying battery issues!

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) last week on Ebay. It is a refurbished one sold by a seller named Cellfeee. On the first day it came with 0 percent. So I charged it with the generic non-fast charging charger it came with and it worked good until it suddenly turned off on 5 percent and I couldn't turn it on until I put the charger on. The next day I used another charger with a fast charger (not sure if the charger was broken) and it took 7 hours all night to charge but it strangely last for 10 hours and shut off at 20 percent. Is this a common issue? Should I send it back or order a replacement battery?

I have the same issue my phone n910t shutdowns at 20% and sometimes at 15% and phone won't turn on.but i can enter download mode and it remains on for hours
but when i plug in fast charger back it shows same 15% then why the hell it won't turn on ?
I think its nothing wrong with my phone not refurbished never rooted it definitely could be bad battery..

I have the same problem with my 2 year old Note 4 - bought a new battery but that didn't fix it. Phone usually shuts off at around 15-20% battery. However, when I connect the charger it shows 0%.
So, either there's another hardware fault which is misreading the battery level, or there's a problem with latest Android or Samsung app which is causing it.

Try this
Dial*#0228# and press quick start at bottom of the screen and hit yes.
This will clear old battery calibration status.
Then turn off the phone and charge to 100% and reboot
And your new calibration status will create automatically.
I did this and now my phone is not shutting down at 15 or 20%.

Hey trex.. i have the same problem phone shuts down at 15 to 10% but when it shuts down it goes to bootloop whenever you power on the phone it goes again to bootloop but once you connect the phone to the charger it boots just fine! I'm on stock rom not rooted, 8 month old phone. Did you noticed this behavior n your phone or it's just me .

I tried that with 2 batteries. I have bought a now oem one and it's worse than the 2 years old one.
I have exactly the same problem as everyone else, the phone shuts down at 20-30-40% and sometimes even at 50%.
Edit: I was talking about the *#0228# method.

I never face any bootloop issue. after i recalibrate bettery status its perfectly fine.but still sometimes when phone heats up a lot while gaming and it shutdown at 5 or 8%.
Maybe you flash a clean stock firmware and make factory reset after flash should fix this bootloop issue.

Thanks for your reply, it isn't bootloop as i described but it fails to boot if the phone is not charged enough( it should be over 5 percent) it will go to Samsung logo the restarts again unless i connect the phone to the charger.. very strange behavior! This started to happen after November security update.. i was thinking to factory reset but i have too many apps and without TB i will suffer backing up all these data 😣.. if factory reset did not help i will send it back to Samsung service center and let them suffer 😈.. thanks for your help trex really appreciated.. cheers

It might be a software issue. The battery still lasts pretty long even though 20% is like 0%. So buying a new battery didn't help. Did you try a non-oem battery? if so, did it do the same?

It might be because your battery can't supply enough power. I had the same problem and brought it to Samsung, they said I only need to change the battery. And since I had another backup one, it was fine and decided to buy 2 more batteries just in case. No more problem so far.

I suppose its not come from the battery last time I already buy another battery but the same issued my phone shutdown at 20% ob Android 6.01, I roll back 5.1.1 everything ok with battery

Phone refuses to charge(software bug most probably )

So anyone facing an issue like where when I connect the charger, phone wouldn't start charging? It just stays idle as if nothing happned. Then I gotta use it somewhat so the battery percentage drops atleast a percent or two and then when I plug it, it starts charging like normal. Its happened second time today, I thought it was just a weird bug the first time it happend 2 days ago. But now I am worried since it has recurred.
PS - charger and socket are fine I checked them.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
