Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my nexus that i'm looking for a little imput on. My nexus was doing fine when a number of things changed so i'm not sure what might be causing the issue. I bought a pogo charger and upgraded to 4.4.3. I had excellent battery life (used device all day and battery lasted all day) until 2 weeks after making those changes.
Suddenly, i started experiencing random crashes and reboots many times a day and about 10 days ago, the tablet won't stay on if not plugged in. sometimes the tablets screen will flicker and go off immediately after being unplugged, sometimes it'll go off after a few minutes. With the battery flunctuating between 0% charged or fully charged.
Since then i have called both google and samsung, who proved to be extremely useless not i'm out of warrantee. I've upgraded to 4.4.4, didn't work, flashed 4.4.3 and 4.4.2, and neither have worked.
So i'm thinking its a firmware issue and i'm just going to replace the battery. So my question is: Do you think this is an internal problem or just a bad battery and could it have been caused by the pogo charger?
I've been searching these forums for quite sometime and they've proved really helpful for tutorials on flashing stock images and such. Thank you so much (in advance) for your help!
Yea it most definitely could be a battery issue. If you the right tools you might want to pop off the back and take a look inside for any loose wires, bad connections etc.. I can relate to the battery issues but what you have going on is most likely a hardware problem.
I had excessive battery drain and freeze ups when I updated to 4.4.3. I've gone back to 4.4.2 and no issues, I did do a wipe when installing 4.4.2 but it was worth it for me.

Hi all
Since the lollipop update my Nexus is taking forever to charge, it's soooo slow I'm talking about 5 percent an hour?
Any one else noticed this?
Have you tried charging it while it's off?
Yea that's how I always charge it

I updated from stock kitkat to stock Lollipop then had the very slow charge problem. Took it back to kitkat but the problem has stayed. I even tried a couple of different fast charge kernels but this has had no effect. Anyone any ideas?
Not sure if this is for the QnA section...anyway, yesterday I got a Nexus 7 2012 16GB for my Nexus device collection (used). It was rooted when I got it, with a whole bunch of junk of it, so I used Nexus Root Toolkit and restored it to stock 5.1 (from rooted stock 5.0.2).
Last night however, I noticed two things that seem weird:
- the battery charges really slow compared to my other devices (5 hours for full recharge) and drains quite fast when playing games (compared to the 2013 N7), namely Zombie Driver THD
- self-power off during night charge
While the first one seems normal (it IS used after all so not expecting perfect battery life here), the second one makes me worry a bit. I'm at work so not sure if the issue will repeat, but the battery was certainly not dead when I plugged it to recharge but the tablet was switched off in the morning. Using the original N7 2012 charger by the way.
Any chance this can be ROM-related or is there any known problems like this?
I have had a 2012 N7 in the past but in Android 4.4.4 I didn't have the self power-off problem, maybe a 5.X bug?

Takes me 4 hours at max to charge it from 0 to 100
How much does it last on gaming? I can play heavy games for 1.5 to 2 hours, thats about it. No kernel/rom has given me more than that. It's tegra 3, don't expect much from it.
Some users have reported that bug on 5.1 I however did not encounter it. Although I used 5.1 for just about a day and came back to 5.0.x for xposed

I just came back from work (roughly 13 hours away), the battery seems to be at 97% (no WiFi on) and the tablet was not turned off.
Guess I'll monitor it for a while longer, though knowing how much I plan to use it, it might take a couple of days before I drain it enough to warrant a recharge so that I can test to see if the charging turns it off.
So I thought the issue fixed itself, but last night I found out more about it.
So I haven't used it for about a week or so, it was fully turned off with a charged battery. When I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't work even after multiple tries. So I thought maybe the battery is screwed, so I plugged it in the wall, but no battery charge indicator showed up. I waited a couple of minutes and tried to turn it on but it didn't work, so I left it there "charging". About an hour later I tried it again and it worked, battery was at 100%, so I left it on overnight and it hasn't powered off on it's own.
Anyone can advise on this? I'd just go ahead and re-sell this one, but it's in great condition so I'd prefer to keep it if it's fixable.
I've had a few random power offs or maybe lockups on 5.1? Not sure entirely if it was powered off or locked up, I'm running Complete stock unrooted

Complete stock here as well.
I decided to downgrade it to 4.4.4, we'll see if that fixes it (I'll report back when I believe I tested it enough unless someone gives a known solution or suggestion).
I think you should try installing a new battery if KitKat doesn't fix it.
I'm experiencing an extremely frustrating problem with my N7. I noticed I get very little usage time out of it (1.5-2.5 hours watching youtube videos, playing games and TV shows) and it takes forever to charge (8+ hours from 10% to 100%) so I figured the battery is on it's way out. I've had it for almost 3 years so that would make sense. However, I bought a new battery (this one) but it hasn't made any difference. I lost the original charging cable so I suppose the slow charging could be at least partly due to that, but I remember for the first two years I had this thing, I could get at least 4 hours of continuous use out of it, usually 5+. I used to be able to leave it off the charger all day while I'm at work and the battery would hardly go below 90% but now I leave it off the charger for 6 hours and it's down to 45% from just sitting there idle. I have Greenify installed and have it set to hibernate all apps except Apex Launcher.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix it? It has an older version of CM 10 on it so I'll try to flash a newer stable version. Should I try a new kernel too? I don't think I've ever done a firmware update on it either.
I would really appreciate any help. I'm ready to just smash this goddamn thing with a hammer.
Anyone? :/
It happened to me before with slow charging then I ve replace with my lg g2 cable then it work normal again.
For the ROM I am using cm12 it works good on my nexus but that's my opinions. You can try other ROM which suits you.
Thanks I hope this help.

Hi,
I've been having a few issues with my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser when it comes to charging my phone that takes up to 8 hours to do a full charge, to when while plugged in i still get a battery life drop. Pokemon Go just released recently and the game (which runs very well) will make the battery discharge faster than it can charge while plugged in.
Ive looked into the possible fixes :
Clearing Cache
Removing / Reformatting my SD card
Complete discharge before doing a recharge
And have not had any luck,
I'm really at my wits end with this,
I am currently running Stock Marshmellow. Ive considered running any one of the stripped down FW's or CM in case the Asus bloat is the problem. And i am not all that sure that its resolvable with a FW upgrade, if there is anyone running a different FW than stock id be curious to know what your experience is like before i bite the bullet. A suggestion on which FW would also be appreciated
Are there any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
I recently bought the same model ze551kl ... i wonder if you got a solution regarding your battery discharge rate problem ... I noticed that my phone discharges on average 15% per hour when using it to play simple balls alignment game ...
