Hi guys this is my scenario. i have x10 mini pro
So im alsmot on my 6th time completing the full/drain 0-100% level cycle using wall charger.
Then i read some forums that USB charging to computer is better since its only 500 mA or lower.
Then i decided to drain my phone to 0% again and charged it my phone is turned of while charging only battery has shown. after 2 hours i decided to turn it on since its already green it shows 100%. Then after i unplugged it i turn it off then turn it on again and it shows only 92% then i plugged it again charging to 100% and it was turn on i repeated the process unplugged first>>then reboot>>> and it shows 98%. Strange i hope you guys get what im saying. and after 98% to 100 then reboot 99%
Plss help whats the problem of my battery thanks in advance

My Streak is only 3 days old and I am thrilled with it but .....
Last night I shut it off and put it on the wall charger as usual at bedtime. It had about 80% charge left and had been working fine all day.
When I got up this morning and tried to turn the phone on, it said "0% Charge" and shut itself off. I had it on my cigarette lighter/usb charger in the car on the way to work (1 hour) and it still said 0% charge. I have had it on charge from the usb on my desktop computer in the office for 1-1/2 hours now and it says 20% charge.
When the phone is shut off, what the heck could discharge the battery completely in 6 hours????? Could the charger be bad and drawing current from the battery? (Shouldn't happen - poor design if it did!)
If it is REALLY sensitive to input voltage, maybe the USB charger in my car isn't high enough to charge the Dell? (I have seen some usb devices that actually want 5.1 to 5.2 volts to charge.)
Anyway, it is slowly coming up but I need to figure out what killed it over night. Has anybody else had this happen????

Did you fully shut-down your streak, or just turn-off the screen? There is circuitry that stops the battery from charging once a full charge is reached, as over charging will ruin the battery. So the phone should be on while charging. Another thought... Will it even charge if it's not on?
P.S. the thread title does leave some room for jokes
Yes, the phone will charge while it is powered off.
Your car charger may not have the power needed. I have seen a few posts about the car chargers.
Something does not seem right. While on the wall charger it should have been at 100 percent.
Also, my phone will charge fully in 2 hours on the wall charger, not sure of the time on USB.

Getting stranger!
After two incidents where the phone SHOULD have charged over night but was dead or nearly dead in the morning, I plan to switch to a USB charger that I KNOW is good but .....
When I tried to power up the Streak this morning (after being shut off last night and left on the charger over night) it was TOTALLY dead - didn't even light up again when I plugged it back into the charger! - so I stuffed it in my pocket until I got to work.
I popped the battery out and measured it - no-load voltage showed 4.0 Volts. When I put the battery back in, the Streak booted fine and showed 100% charge! (It was not battery contacts - I cleaned them a few days ago after the no-charge incident).
It appears that there may be something in battery-backed memory that got out of whack and removing/replacing the battery cleared the error state allowing the Streak to boot. This could tie in with the apparent charging problem?
Any ideas?
Any idea why charging galaxy s2's battery take about 8 hours to be charged... any idea why?
bump
anyone?
Are you using the phone at all? Are you charging through mains or trickle charging through PC USB?
i usually charge from mains... and i dont use the phone much while charging.
My phone dropped to 7% battery. I let it charge for an hour with airplane mode on and it was at 4% battery. The orange light was on the whole time meaning it was charging. I then turned it off, took the battery out and it went to 13% battery. Soon it went back to 4%. I let it charge again for 2 hours this time and it hadn't moved at all and was still at 4%. I then swapped the stock battery for one from China. It started with 60% battery and after a half hour of charging it went to 54%. Why does my battery drain while it charges? I don't even use it when it's charging so I have no idea why it's draining. I'm running stock ics but it's rooted with 4ext. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Charge with AC not through an USB plugged to your computer. Your phone is using more battery than the USB port can provide. If you plug it in through the normal AC charger, it should be fine, as it gives out 1.0A, while USB ports typically give out anywhere between 200 to 500mA (at its absolute maximum).
I am using the ac. That message even appears when I use the ac.
Have you tried turning it of and charging?

I have tried that and it only turns on to what the battery was at before. As I typed this I went from 54% to 21% in about 10 minutes. This is really starting to piss me off. My phone cannot hold a charge. My motorola from 8 years ago could at least hold a charge. This is ridiculous. Thanks so far for the help.
Are you using the factory Amaze Cord to charge your phone?
My factory amaze cord stopped charging via ac. I had it plugged into the wall and it would say usb charging so I'm using a different kind of cord. I've never had a problem using my sisters blackberry cord plugged into the usb converter to ac.
Maybe....just maybe...your devices charging port is defected...
I have some charger from China that goes from the wall straight to my phone without using that charging port and it doesn't charge it either.
China should only be used for one thing...Chinese People
I tried another one of my batteries that had a 60% charge. Within 10 minutes the battery was dead. I have it charging and the orange led is flashing. I waited 20 minutes and tried turning it on. After several presses of the power button it finally turns on. As soon as it gets to the home screen the low battery sound beeps and it shuts down. Seriously what am I supposed to do? This is getting ridiculous.
Thanks.
Have you looked into doing a warranty exchange...

I have not. This has only happened 3 times or so since I got it a week or so after launch. I didn't suspect it to be a hardware problem. I think the person who suggested the bad power port was correct because my Chinese charger charged it full perfectly and it's been good. It just has to be held at a certain angle to charge. I'm going to go to Telus and try and get a new power port and see, maybe I could get an exchange. I have it rooted though, so would I have to unroot it get the exchange?
Thanks.
Step one, dim the phones lighting.
Then check to see if there's an app keeping the phone awake causing it to drain battery while charging,
If its not an app keeping it awake then you my friend are one of the unlucky owners of this picky phone...

I've a friend that was updated his s4 zoom to kitkat and also got rooted, then his phone is unable to charge...
when the battery come to 0% then he tried to charging the phone (it should show the battery icon and still like that until we turn on the phone) but his phone always on automaticly and his phone dead after that cause not optimally charged (still 0%) so it's always turn on then turn off automaticly until he stop to charge the phone...
Now he just turn on the download mode then charging the phone for several hours then he turn on the phone so he'll get the battery charged around 10-20% then charging it normaly.so,is there any way to fix this?
thx.
If you are charging with device stock charger then it should charge properly but if you are using any other charger of samsung then it won't charge properly.
It is a thing with voltage. Normal charger are output .5 A volt and s4 zoom charger are 1 A.
Also you can try out battery calibration app from paly store to delete old rom battery traces.
