Hi everyone, I have a problem with my sister''s phone (SM-G903F) , after the last charging it's draining extremely fast battery with 1%/minute. Even with phone turn off and battery inserted , the area around sim card is overheating in just a few minutes and battery drain extremely fast. I replaced the battery with a new one .... no effect .I have accessed the battery usage in settings and I saw that the screen consumes 100% although the brightness is 50% and the screen darkening time is 30 seconds What may cause this problem and what could be the solution ? Before to send it to service center I wish to try your ideas. Until then I must keep the battery out of the phone. Thank you for any help

I noticed this a couple of days ago: I was in a place with no 3g nor wifi so I decided to switch O7 off. In the evening I switched it on and battery was empty.
I tried again yesterday with the same results. What"s using this phone while it's off?
Are you sure it is actually flat?
My battery has a problem, if i turn the phone off and then on it will show that my battery is empty and want to turn on battery saver. If i keep turning it off and on and mess with the battery contacts it reads properly.
Just a thought....
This is because the battery is cold, let it warm up and it will display the correct level

This happens after being on for days, it's not to do with temperature.

It also happens to me. Not usually but once every 1/2 weeks. I've been looking for a solution and the only one i found is switching off and on again until the battery level is ok. However i have to say that this has been happening since i installed 7740 update, so maybe the problem is that.
not actually drains...
I think the battery did not darain.
It is just the battery level is not displayed correctly; I had the same (or similar) problem. I switched off the phone while the battery was at 80% and the next morning when I switched it on I got the message "the battery is low..." and the wrong battery level displayed.
I kept it on for hours and it worked nicely; I noticed the battery info displayed 1% of residual charge and 7 hours of expected workng time...something weird
Suddenly after hours of usage the battery icon started to work properly.

Exactly the same as me. I'm on my 2nd Omnia handset now (warranty replacement) and this one does the same so I assume it's the battery that's faulty.
If you leave it on long enough the battery meter slowly increases over time until it reaches the true value.
Just installed 8107 upgrade via cab; let's see if problem have been noticed before and solved now
I noticed this problem also. After the mangu upgrade it is not there any more.
For me it seems that th eproblem laid in the firmware..
funny, I'm not the unique
Today I've tried to make an hard reset to see if the problem would have been solved. I'm on Mango 7740, tonight I'll try to switch off the mobile phone after charging.

I did a hard reset, OS update and then a handset replacement and the problem is still there.
I'm convinced it's a fault with the actual battery.
Ok, I yesterday evening I switched of the smartphone for some hours... Then I turned it on and I saw the"popup" which told me the battery was low.
I left the device on, with 3g on for all the night and this morning I found the battery level as it was before yesterday evening
I confirm the battery do not drains when the smartphone is turned off!

As I already said, this is because the battery gets cold when you switch off your phone, and it then appear drained. After heating up again it will recover it's charge.
I have Samsung galaxy 3 & use Samsung issued stock froyo rom. Since past few days, I am facing strange problem.
After charging battery to 100%, whenever I make 2-3 calls or one long call, Battery discharges fast & warning of low battery comes out. Sometimes phone shuts down even during call.
When I restart phone, Battery icon shows full or upto 90% charge. Then problem recurs. With no phone calls, phone runs upto 4-6 hrs.
I have calibrated battery again & again. I have given phone to service centre twice & they have reformatted it every time with same results.
Now, I have been told that motherboard needs to be replaced & will cost 4500.
I want to know that this problem is really caused by faulty motherboard or faulty battery?
Change the battery and see if it helps
Cheers

Dear android developers
2 days ago i had a problem with a rom, so i had to take out the battery. When i placed the battery back in the problem was solved. Unfortuanetly something happend afterwards and now my battery is really weak its been 8 hours since i last charged the phone now it is %16 Ive tried changing roms. I even downloaded cm7 which was pretty good on battery drain, now its really weak hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance
try draining the battery till the phone shuts down
Turn off the phone, try to fully charge, to green LED lights up, then go to ClockworkMod recovery, advanced, and select wipe battery stats.
Maybe this help u
greets from poland
clean the contacts on the battery, blow out the compartment with canned air. sounds like a bad connection to the battery.
fyi the led turns green at 90% charge.
and i need more data than its weak.
screen shots of usage after 8hrs would rock.
If phone are turned off, orange change to green at 100% of battery.
If android are running, green LED turns on at 95% battery (for me, AndroidRev 2.3.5 sense 3.0)

You might have messed up your battery with the pull somehow, if not just let it charge for a long time and see where you are at from there.
Drain the battery in normal use until it shuts off, then go to bootloader and drain the battery until you can't access the bootloader, then do a full charge of the battery.
Hey guys ,
I have a Note 4 N910F. I can't say I'm impressed with its battery life (coming from LG G3) but it lasts from the morning till I go to sleep on med-high use which is fine.
The problem that I experience though, is that if I "heavily" use my device when the battery reaches 10% - i.e. the GPS and the Data Connection turned on and Google maps are being used, the phone suddenly shuts down. I need to put it on a charger to turn it on and the battery is 0%.
I will post a screenshot as soon as I can.
Do you think this might be related to a hardware issue ? Or is it just the battery ?
I've tried to calibrate the battery but didn't help.
thank you!

Next time you should search first as there is another thread discussing about this.
But I will still answer your question.
It's your battery deteriorating.
It seems that your battery can only hold 90% of the original capacity.
Li-Ion/poly battery WILL deteriorate over time & it can deteriorate faster without proper care.
How to prevent faster battery deterioration:
Avoid heat.
High temperature is the worst enemy of any lithium based battery.
Never let your battery reach 0%
Reaching 0% means longer charging time = more heat exposure while charging
Avoid putting your device/battery on the dashboard during sunny day.
Do short charge multiple times a day.
Hello xda member I have a problem with my S4 (I9500) battery consumption and I would like you to help me. Well, It can't be normal that my phone consumes that quantity of current, I mean, 460mA? It doesn't matter what I am doing, it is always the same quantity, never consumes less, I have tried turning off the wifi, mobile data, location, sync, even I turn on airplane mode and power saving mode and it's the same, the number of mA doesn't change, , I have to mention that I always use the brightness in the minimum. I installed Gsam Battery Monitor app and it shows that the mayor part of the battery consumption is in apps and within it it shows that the kernel and Android System consumes too much battery, is that normal? I have tried everything and I haven't found any solution for this, I really need help
Kernel version: 3.4.5-VoLTaqe [email protected] #1
ROM version: FirstFlight N7 Themed V6
S4 I9500
Just in case, this also happened in the stock rom, indeed I changed the rom looking for solving this

you will need to replace the battery....obviously..
And how much usage do you get from one charge?

I don't understand the question at all, when I completely charge the phone it immediately starts to discharges at that speed, it discharges approximately 1% in 2 or 3 minutes, using the phone, or just leaving it with the screen on it can discharges up in 3 or 4 hours. With the screen off it discharges slowly but the problem is when I turn on the screen, it doesn't matter whether or not I am using it. There is something that is draining off the battery. I have measured the mA that consumes another phone and there It discharges even at 90mA when is not using it but in my phone it is not the case. I don't think it would be the battery, I tried with another battery and the consumption is the same :crying:
@ricardo_beatles
You said the battery is good when screen is off, then deep-sleep is working fine, so i suggest you uninstall each app you have one by one and test afterwords and see what is causing the problem.

It's not drainage. That's simply how much the battery lasts on the S4 while in use.
Ask anyone around here and they will tell you that they get a maximum of 4 hours of screen-on time or SOT for short.
Screen-on time means the total time the screen was on since the last charge.

Yes, but what I tried to say is that the problem is not too evident, the problem persists because when the screen is in off it consumes too much battery too, up to 20%. I will try that
