I replaced the usb connector board on my Nexus4. Before I did it, the battery was at 49%. After I put everything back together. The phone won't start. I charge it with a USB cable, it shows charging at 0% and with the USB plug in, it boots fine. However, I almost get half the battery life now. It usually can last through the day but now has to be charged in the afternoon. I was on stock 4.4.3 and since then, I did full wipe and switch to latest omni rom nightly 2 days ago.I have tried draining the battery complete and charge it to 100%. Everything works fine but battery life still sucks.
Any idea?

How much was it before and how much is it now? Care to show screenshots?
I had same prob after a screen replace. During removal I must of damaged the battery, they bend far too easy. I ordered a new one problem solved. If you read about a lot of people bust the battery. Its a right of passage, welcome to the club

I have read some phones getting very hot during some game and programs. My case is somewhat different. Charged my phone fully when i was going to bed. I heard battery full notification and unplugged it. After 6 hours or so sleep I saw the battery almost depleted and phone very very hot. I use green power and my batteries were behaving quite well. Battery information was showing that friendcaster was using %48 whereas it should generally be AOS. I think something is wrong with batterystats too, because I popped out the battery and reinserted, put it on charge but it still shows 6 hours and more battery use. I remember that every time I restart charging the on time would fall to zero. During the last week I've been using 1900 mah Anker batteries charged on their charger. This one is the original battery. I charged it on the charger, but put some more juice when it fell to %90, but on the phone this time. This is when I heard battery full notification. Now it is on charge, but the on time is stuck to 6h 32m 42s. How do I reset it? And what can be the reason of this strange behavior?
If you have used an iffy 3rd party battery you may have roasted the chip on the SGS2's mobo that monitors the battery.
The way to clean the SGS2's battery history is to:
Charge to 100%
Discharge till the phone turns itself off
Charge to 100% in one sitting.
If its still not playing ball, then your best bet is to put it back to stock (if you have rooted/installed newer stock or custom roms via odin) use a USB jig to reset the flash counter, and take it in (just take it in with the original battery, don't say anything about the 3rd party one.)
Thanx for the reply, but I replaced samsung battery with anker %100 charged and battery time fell to zero. Working as it should be and the phone is cooled.

Itz weird. I'm facing this problem since the last 3 days.
What happens is, my phone does not get charged during the evening or the night. I plugged it in the AC socket, I can see the red light and the battery indicator on the status bar also shows the charging animation. But the battery percentage just does not increase!!
Like, for instance, yesterday night, I tried to charge my phone and it did not get charged. It discharged fully. Today morning, at around 9am, I kept it to charge in the same socket and it charged (upto 100%). And just now, (itz 5:48 pm here) I tried to charge it through the same socket and itz not getting charged. WTF!!
P.S. I'm running CM7 build 16 (or probably 15). I am using this build since it was released.

I think you should calibrate the battery. If still problem persist then my suggestion will be to get a new battery. Because this problem has been asked in Q&A a long days ago. Don't remember the subject line though

1st remove battery wait for sometime later insert it and try to charge ur phone through PC. It might work, else go to clockworkmod > advance > wipe battery > restart. This might work.
I tried that.
BTW, today my phone got charged usinng another charger. Itz still weird. My charger works inn my college but not at my home.. LoL
I think buying a new battery and keeping it as spare is the best alternative.

Best thing I ever bought was a spare battery and a universal (so I can use it when I upgrade too) battery charger that you clip a battery into, I never have to worry about battery life as no matter how hard I hammer it, my spare is always charged first.

Somewhere between 700 to 800 Rs
Can't you change the phone's date and time?
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.
Hi Folks...
My Nexus 7, rooted with Cyanogenmod 10.2.1. Grouper since 2014, has been absolutely trouble free until now.
The charging icon was spinning, indicating the battery was being charged, but it was not. The charge never went up, it only when down. This is with the factory wall charger.
At first I suspected software issues, as I noticed mediaserver appeared to be draining. I did a data reset, and the mediaserver usage went away. But the charging indicator still indicated charging even though it wasn't. I also tried the "magic bullet" battery apps, but I didn't expect them to help, and they did not.
I replaced the USB port as I thought it might be bad, and a bit worn out. That did not correct the problem.
I bought a new battery and that did not correct the problem.
That brings me to where I am now. I modified a USB cable that externally charges the battery. The battery quickly and fully charges, and the tablet works as it used to. When that battery starts going down (to about 20%, but it takes a while as it is only sipping the juice!), I pull that battery out and replace it with a freshly recharged battery (yes, also externally charged). Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue where the data cable in the USB port is working but the charging cable in the USB port isn't getting the charge up to the battery. Should my next step be to replace ribbon cables, and if so, which ones and where would I get them? I know opening the tablet up every other day to switch out batteries isn't the best way to go! I did a search, but did not find anyone with a similar problem.
Thanks!!!
I was too wordy above.
The spinning icon indicates the tablet is charging, but it is not. USB port and battery have been replaced to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks!
LOL.... I'm having a pretty good conversation with myself! That's okay. I talk to myself a lot... and it helps me figure things out for myself. The latest: swapping externally recharged batteries is keeping the tablet running fine. But now, whenever I go to Battery in Settings, the only item listed as using battery is Android System, at 100%. No longer is screen or other apps listed. Oh well... Think I'd better do a Titanium backup soon!
Does it charge it the unit is powered off?

Thank you for the reply! No. It doesn't charge with the tablet turned off. It will show the charging animation when you press the power button, so it appears to be charging, but it's not. Oh.. I did clear the Dalvic cache and the battery settings is once again showing all battery usage.
You could try a pogo cable if you can find one. Really sounds like a capacitor in the charging curcuit is bad. I would just swap out the motherboard.

Thank you, PsiPhi! I apologize for the late reply. I've just continued to swap battery with a freshly charged one. I looked and saw that the motherboards are not that expensive. Kind of surprised me. I should give that a try. Again... thank you!
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.

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.
