[ISSUE:LAG] Homes Screen Lag

I noticed that after unplugging my phone when it said it was fully charged the battery immediatley dropped to 97%. I found a thread in the Vibrant forum with people talking about their Vibrants doing the exact same thing. No one seemed to know what was causing it. Is anyone else seeing this with their phone? Should I be concerned?

it's normal on a Samsung phone. There is no fix. Sorry for the bad news.
*previous Vibrant owner*

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't bother me as long as it's normal, just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong.

Yep. From my experience I've discovered the following:
1. Keep it on charger for a extra 1 or 2 hour.
2. Charge it while off.
And you won't see that drop again. If you do one of those things.

It's normal on every mobile phone.
Here's an explanation.

Read this article, and it will help you understand why.
Dont know why someone would blame samsung....

It is normal, it was designed to do that to prevent your battery from burning out sooner thus giving you shorter battery life in the long run.
If you want to truly charge to 100 percent, you bump it. Meaning when it says fully charged(its lying to you), pull out the usb charger, then plug it back in. When it says 100 percent again, pull out the charger, put it right back in, let it charge a few mins more. Keep doing this till you get bored. Doing this bumping technique will truly charge it to 100 percent, and it won't fall so quickly, but it burns your battery supposedly in the long run.
There was an article about it. Google bump charging battery, or something like that.

lol nevermind I see the people above posted the links.

Yup -- once the battery reaches full capacity the charger stops (to avoid undue wear on the battery). The battery will discharge down to ~90% before the charger kicks in again.
On Nexus One we were able to run off of wall power once the battery was charged, significantly reducing the speed at which the battery discharged once full, and improving the chances of it being 99-100% when you took it off the charger. Nexus S has a different charge circuit configuration which does not allow it to operate in this mode.

If it's a Samsung phone, it's the norm to blame Samsung. Not Google and Samsung, just Samsung. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

As always, we greatly appreciate you posting here and giving us almost an inside look at things.
I'm very impressed with the battery life on the Nexus S, personally!

Do we know what fuel gauge chip is in the nexus s battery, and what driver its using? Check my sig to see what we did to the nexus one battery chip and driver...

Anyone else have a funky "Battery Use" screen?
Check out the attached image. What is up with the "Battery Use" screen? Anyone elses like that? It isn't my phone, because the problem is only at the "Battery Use" screen.

battery wont charge to 100%
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem charging their Nexus S to 100%. I have recalibrated it by draining it then charging it while its off for about 8 hours.
Ever since I first got it would only go to 97%. I also tried to delete the batterystats.bin file and that's not working either.
If I bring it back to Best Buy should I relock the bootloader and get a new one or will they replace just the battery for me?
Thanks

I'm having this issue as well and am wondering whether or not this a prevalent or not.

Slow battery charging & charging stops after turning the screen on

Hello, guys. I hope you all are great.
I have a concern... I don't know wether the issue I am facing is specific for the XT1575 or is a general android problem. Here it is:
I have a Moto X Style and I am facing this problem: slow battery charging. There are 2 symptoms that I noticed:
1. When I turn on the screen after starting charging with the screen off, the cell phone stops charging (using fast charger or ordinary one). To continue charging, I have to unplug and plug again and again.
# I believe the fault is software. But I am not sure about that.
2. About 5 days ago the turbo charger (and common charger) is charging very very very slowly. It is not normal. To charge 1%, it takes about 20 min. I ran the Ampere app and realized that the current during charging is between 230 and 260mA. If I am not mistaken, using the turbo, it should be at 1600 to 1800mA.
I realized that fault after a trip. In it I needed to charge the phone in the USB 5V car charger and did not charge properly (same symptom described above).
What have I already done testing?
- I had a let the battery drain 100%, so that I started to charge. Nothing has changed.
- I had tried charge using the fast charge that came along with the cellphone and ordinary ones. Nothing has changed.
Has anyone had this? Is there any way for me to go and fix it?
The cell phone is awesome, although the battery is your biggest con. Without the turbo charger it gets me some doubts regarding if I can still have it...
I really appreciate your help.

One extra update: I have just factory reseted and everything is still the same as stated previously.
Something says to me that the issue is software. The reason is that I use a pin code to protect my device and after I turn the screen on (after typing the pin), the device stopped charging. So that I had to unplug and plug it once again to continue the charging.
The thing is that after I factory reseted and realized that the issue continued, I tried to suspend the use of pin code.
Result: the second flaw stopped. I mean that after turning the screen on the battery continue to charge normally.
Now the fast charging pretty slowly still...

You most likely have a bad cable or adapter... there is no known software issue with charging on any Moto X device.
Less likely: bad USB port in the phone or bad battery
Even less likely: bad main board in the phone
Find a friend with a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge (just saying because they common) and plug into their stock charger, it should pop-up the turbo charging toast messaging within a couple seconds.

I see... So, I agree with you. Even based on that my Moto x is really new. No more than 1 month...
I will look for another turbo charger and try once again.
Oh, and one more thing, even the cause may not be related to software, I intend to downgrade to 5.1 and try once again. If nothing occurs, I will update to 6.0.1 and move my life on.
Thank you in advance!

Don't do that... Why on earth would you want to do something as dangerous as downgrade?

I don't know. Maybe the fact that it can be a software issue...

It's not software... But I'm no expert either. If it is software you are the first person to discover it. Try a new charger or just connect a buddies to test it.

Unfortunately, I believe that the issue is hardware related.
I charged with another fast charger and problem persists...

Charging Issues

Okay.
So like 2 months back, all was very well, my OP2 charged in around 1.5-2 hours. I was using the official OnePlus Charger and OnePlus Type C cable. After like a week the Type C cable stopped charging so i bought a new Type C cable, which worked great and charged my fone quickly. At that time, I used to check the charging with the Ampere App, and it showed normally 1100 mah charging.
Gradually over time, the charging speed started to slow down and then it came to the point when my phone was charging in 4-5 hours. So i again changed the wire, but no use as its the same i.e slow charging. (Checked with Ampere it is constantly showing 500-600 mah)
Since the wire is new and the OnePlus adapter is charging my phone, i do not suspect that the OP charger is at fault.
I am currently on Resurrection Remix 7.8.2. ( But this is also happening when i flashed OOS)
Plus a meagre 2.5 hours Screen On Time and yester overnight it drained 44% in 6 hours.
I have no idea whats going on.
ANY SUGESSTIONS AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO?

Make sure you're using a good cable. Not some cheap knockoff.

Yeah. Dnt wry. The cable is of good quality and not a knockoff.. any other suggesstions?

Maybe its your battery then

It's all one plus work.
I can confirm this as well. Phone started taking excess charging times. Around 6 hours for 80%. This cannot be a battery issue. Battery degrades linearly. It's surely scam by the scum company one plus providing a time bomb style update to make old one plus 2 unusable. So many reports of op2 slow charging. Same issue reported in a previous post. He also mentioned that turning off phone and charging takes usual 1-2 hours time. Check if that's the case with you as well.

Quick charge gone

Last few days I've noticed my 6P is not quick charging. I used to be able to charge from 15% or lower to full in under an hour. Now it takes 2hrs+ to charge from any %. Today it told me it would take 2 hours to charge from 45%! WTF!? I didn't change any settings and have not flashed a new room or anything since I'm stock not rooted. I am on the O preview but I've been on it for months and this just started happening. Any help would be appreciated, tia

I'd probably try unenrolling from the beta and reverting to 7.1.2

Taking a long time to charge and not rapid charging are two different things. Does your display say "Charging rapidly"? I assume you are using the same stock USB-C to USB-C cable and charger that came with the phone. If you install Accubattery you will be able to monitor two important things: 1) charging rate in mA- the charging rate will confirm (or not) you are charging close to 3 Amps when your battery is discharged below 20% . I usually see ~2.7 A, but only when when fully discharged. -and- 2) your estimated battery capacity. In short, when your battery starts to take a dump you will see long charging times and more heat. Charge the phone a few times from fully discharged until the APP tells you the phone is full- not the phone. After fully charging a few times, go to the health page and report your battery's estimated capacity.

Ok thanks. Sometimes I get the charging rapidly message, sometimes it just says charging. Guess I might have to look to upgrade soon. Maybe a Pixel 2 is in my future

Battery readings are totally off!

Hi guys, I've got this phone passed down by my mum. It's an old Samsung Note 4 but it's still working fine except the battery readings are totally out.
When I mean totally out, it's like switching off when it hits 30%. Sometimes it keeps going on after it hits 0%. I tried keeping a battery pack on it but it'll just do the same thing.
Just like to know if it helps getting a new battery or is there anything I can do to 'reset' the battery?
Thanks folks!

When a Note 4 shuts off at 30% that usually means that the battery is toast. Get yourself a new Anker battery for $16.99.

Like previous stated, battery is most likely going bad. But I figured I give you an alternative to try first. It won't hurt.
Power off your phone and charge it to 100%
Turn it on.
In play store search for "Nema battery". The first result should be it. It's called "Battery Calibrater" and is by Nema.
Install it. And follow directions.
Most all battery apps are crap. But a few people told me this really does calibrate the phone.
Also take note of what amps capacity it says your battery has.
It maybe worth the try.

Thanks buddy, I'll give it a shot.

Just fired up the app and it says 4300mV max .
The specs of Note 4 states that the battery is Li-Ion 3220 mAh; Is that 4300mV?

That's the voltage. When it's plugged in, it'll be close to 5v. Unplugged it'll be lower.
That app might not have the reading I'm thinking of. No matter, you can try it.
Just for comparative proposes, I just installed it. And yes mine also shows 4300mv max.
But unplugged it's showing 3995mv, I'm at 75%.

I see.
I think a different figure shows up when I charge it turned on or off. If I hit 100% charge, it'll show up with less than that when I try charging it turned off.
I'll try the app once I get to 100%. Is that 100% referring to the phone being turned on or off while charging?

They mean with it on.
I only suggested charging it off. Cause it's suppose to charge fully better that way I guess. You'll be able to tell when it's fully charged that way. Either way probably won't matter for your case. Cause it's either gonna help or nothing much, then you'll know if you should move on and try new battery.

Yeah, you're right, last ditch effort to see if the battery works.
Another strange behavior is the speed of charging. I use the same charger with the same cable for this test. Funny thing is sometimes the battery takes ages to get to 50% from 0% but on good days, it gets from 0% to 50% in a snap.
Is this behavior of a faulty battery? Or am I dealing with a faulty circuit board? I'm on stock ROM so it's easier to troubleshoot.
