Battery drain - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
For a few days I was charging my S5 (900t) using a different cable, not the original (but the orginal charger).
After that, while using the phone, I felt that the battery started to drain more quikly... is it possible that battery was damaged as a result of using not an original cable? How can I check it?
Thanks

After menu is apper, press Quick Start (and ok.) .. If your battery is going down in big percentages, you need to replace battery..

Battery calibration: for good battery life

Battery calibration is simply done by running it down completely until the phone shuts off by itself...
Then remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, insert again, repeat...
If the phone shuts off again in less than a few minutes you're done.
Now remove battery and hold power button for 1minute.then insert battery.dont switch on the phone. plug the charger and recharge the battery fully until the green light is on...
then remove battery,hold power button for few seconds,insert it and switch on the phone...
yes its done......
do this initially once in 3-4months when the phone is new.then ince a month after a year to gain maximum battery performance...
REMEMBER THIS WILL NOT DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR BATTERY LIFE....
BUT THIS WILL SAVES YOUR NEW ONE TO BE DEAD BEFORE AGE
DONT EXPECT MORE FOR ALREADY SWOLLEN OR DIED BATTERY...
no one is interested to test it?
tested, working fine, but i haven't impoved battery life, and also my battery works same as first day. I recommend to use this on all types of batteries LiIon, NiCd etc...

yupz... u're right bro...
i am a flashing junkies and i always do this after flashing to WM 6.5 ROM.
last nite i've just flashing Onyx 5.1.1 ROM (the fastest WM6.5 ROM i felt) . well.. as expected from every WM6.5... battery drain veeeerry Fast!
i just use it normally till switched off on it's own. then charge the battery (while my elfin still turned off) and...
voila....
from 08 pm last nigt till 12.00 am today, it's only consumed 10%!!!
WOW!!!
in fact, i use G-alarm (which usually drain my battery faster in WM6.5).
and this morning, it's need 30 minutes my G-alarm ringing to woke me up.
YES I WANT THAT ALL MEMBER SHOULD TRY THIS AND GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK..

this is called "POWER CYCLING"....when u hold your power button for a while when no battery inside it drain your backup battery which resposible for your device to remember date,time etc.....
after doing this all the power from the device will be gone....
after that u can do the procedure otherwise it will not gives u good results..
i have tested it myself
It works fine for me!
Now battery drain is proportional to the usage and for sure battery life is longer

Shut Down after battery 20%

Hey,
I have just recently noticed a weird problem on my Arc..
When the battery goes below 20% it shuts down (similar to the way how it would shut down when the battery is out).
Then I need to connect the charger and switch it on, after which the battery will show at 1% and in 5 mins it will change to 21-22%...
so basically below 20% the phone thinks its actually ran out of battery even though it hasnt and hence shuts down..
any ideas about what could be causing this? is it a problem with my phone or the battery?
thanks

Have you try to clear the battery stats?
You need to be rooted to do that (I hope everyone knows that )

First thing you need to have "root". If you don't haven't rooted, use GingerBreak to root. Search the forum for the thread.
Second install Battery Monitor Widget from Market. Open the application (This is a widget. So you may want to insert the widget in your home screen), press menu and click "Statistics" option and it will prompt you for confirmation. Once done reboot to make sure it's cleared properly (Not necessary, but recommended).
Hope this resolves your issue.

I had a similar problem with my arc after charging it for the first time (charged it till 100% with the phone turned on). Then, after I used the phone, when it reached 10%, it just shut down. Then I decided to charge it with the phone turned off and this really helped. After two full charging cycles, the battery is acting normal. Now my arc shuts down at 2% which I think is normal.
Clearing battery stats has worked so far...thanks a lot...

Have you tried, charging while it's off, going into recovery wiping the battery stats, booting the device up until it shows 100%and seeing if that makes a difference, all of this while the cable is still plugged in though?
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.

[Q] LG G2 D802 battery problem after getting overheated

Hi all,
I would like to ask you(with better skills than me) something about my LG device. Once I got up after listening to music my device was approximately 42celsius degrees and i had to turn it off for 30 mins to get it on a normal temperature. After that I realized my device battery is draining so fast. I don't know why....my idea is that: because of the high temperature or it's a software bug. I plug my phone off at 6:30am and after using it a little I only have maximum 20% at 4:00pm. I'm using Alegen's 5.0.1 rom and all the people who use it said they haven't got a problem like me. I downloaded CPUz and it says my battery life is good. So please help me because I don't know what to do.
Sorry about my English.
42 is a verry low temp. My G2 have 45 in idle, doing nothing. Dont worry, there is no pb with battery

Thanks for your answer but what should I do with my battery draining? I'm using it on a very low brightness and wifi is turned off,etc...
Make a nandroid backup and then try reflashing to stock after a full battery charge. Use the phone until 5-2% and then fully charge it. Then use as normal and see if it helps. If that hasnt helped it could be battery issues.
Also when the phone heats up is it near the top beside the camera?

Maybe you have some apps which keeps your device awake, try with another rom/kernel kombination (dont use 5.0 roms to test battery as battery is better on stock based roms)

99% of the time this is the case - a rogue app running, or one of its services, keeping the phone awake and running in the background.
OP, try this: reset the phone to factory settings, restart it and then just leave it like that for 30 minutes or so. Don't even enter your SIM PIN or anything. If the phone is still heating up, the unit is defective and requires service (it is not impossible that the battery is shorting out somewhere somehow).

Under factory reset you mean I have to backup the original LG software or my lollipop rom is good?
No, just try resetting to factory defaults (obviously, back up everything important), you can do it either through the menu or the recovery.

I'm calibrating my battery now. I will feedback about that next day.
Recalibatre battery asus zenfone:
1) Wipe cache data
2) Turn on your phone, charge until 100%, use it until the battery drains to 0% and turned off.
3) When the phone turned off, plug in the charger and charge it to 100%
4) Turn on the phone, with the charger still plugged in, when ASUS logo appears, remove the charger.
5) After tuning on, do not use for 5 minutes.
6) Do this when you change upgrade / downgrade rom.
Calibrating changed NOTHING :/ or I didn't do it well.
