(q)samsung gs2 battery charging problem? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bought a new samsung galaxy s2 a month ago.the problem is when it says 100 %charged .i unplug it and plug it again it says 97% and starts dropping fast .but if i keep plugging it till i make sure it is 100% then it good and doesn't drop.what should i do?

Its some bug with the sg2 with different batteries i think its something todo with the default cap of the battery.. its nothing critical tho

i tried that by it doesnot make any change

Calibrate your battery. Charge it to 100%. Unplug. Turn off phone. Take out battery for 2-3 minutes. (This will reset the fuel-gauge chip). Reboot phone and charge to 100%.
Let us know how you go

sorry for being late .i tried leaving the phone in the charger for about 30 minutes after recharging and it did work thanks for help

[Q] Battery Fully Charged Notifications?

Does Galaxy Ace shows a notification when battery is fully charged ? Yesterday I got a new Ace, I kept it for charging for around 3-4hrs.. The battery indicator shows the battery full, but notification on the homescreen(when its locked) showed its charging..
How am I suppose to understand its fully charged..?
Yes, normally a notification should appear when the battery is fully charged!
How much hours does it take to fully charge if the battery is around 5%?
The battery isn't fully charged until you don't get a notification (both sound and green icon on the top-left corner). That's even if you see the indicator showing 100%
Wow..my battery is still blue.. in the right hand corner.. How long does it takes to fully charge?
Depending on ROM / mods, your battery icon may look different. But a notification should show up after around 3 hours.

Well that depends, wether you're charging via USB or the wall-charger (I don't really know the name of that thing xD )
USB charging requires more time, I've tried and it took me about 4-5 hours to full charge the phone.

Ok..Last nite... I charged for 3-4 hrs.. but didnt get any notification..maybe I will try it today..Is it ok to leave it on charge over-nite? Maybe 6-7 hrs after a full deplete..?
Have you tried to reflash your ROM? There's maybe something wrong within the kernel.
And about charging overnight... I doubt that's a safe thing to do..
Used to charge my old phone overnight everytime and now it's battery depleted within 4 hours after a full charge.
Tapatalked from my Noirette III
well, certainly not on froyo. probably only ginger has it in-built-i get it on galaxy s (ginger) but not on Ace (froyo).
Hey!
You can charge it over night. And it shows notification in home screen CHARGED!
CHEERS!
@rhadrio I havent re flashed it..just got it yesterday.
I guess the battery nowadays have no -ve effect, if we over charge them.. ? Any one can confirm this?

Of course its NOT good, if you OVER CHARGE it every time. And for correcting battery stats, you need to calibrate it(you must be ROOTED, before use BATTERY CALIBRATOR[free from MARKET]). But still I suggest to use it(BATTERY CALIBRATOR) only if you get too fastley drain you battery(I mean, if you see that you battery getting worst or similar).
CHEERS!
I haven't rooted it yet. I will charge it overnite today & lets see if its works better tomorrow..
Batteries now have built-in overcharging prevention. No worries.

Well.. I kept it over nite.. In the morning I saw a notification on the phone as "Charged", but I am not sure how many hours did it take to charge it.
I dont know about battery issue aftr overnight charging.....but i used to charge my 5800 overnight daily, i used 2 and hlf years but nothing happend to batry or batry back up...
and if u charge yor ACE with AC charger it will take min 4 hours as our chargers are 0.7A

...nope! usb is 500 mA (0.5 A) max - in best case, depending on mode etc. so AC charger is faster as it's 0.7 A. max 3-4 hrs here on ac.

[Solved] battery drained out and now stuck on battery charging screen

Hi,
I flashed the newest CyanogenMOD nightly on my SGS II previously running Villain ROM 2.1 with CF-Root kernel. Things were ok but I missed out on battery getting extremely low. After some time the phone went dead [due to complete battery drain] so I plugged it via USB cable to my laptop's USB port. Now it's been over an hour and all I see is the empty battery symbol re-flashing every 3 seconds [It's the same grey empty battery with a circle in middle].
I have tried booting the phone normally as well as in recovery but nothing happens! The battery empty symbol keeps flashing. I tried accessing download mode but it says "Battery Low. Can't Download". Can anyone please help me with this ?
Should I wait for couple of more hours or is my phone screwed, bricked or whatever....
Please try your AC adapter to charge. Keep it charging overnight just in case.
don't have the AC adapter now because it's in my office. But tomorrow this is the first thing that I'll do when I go there. will report if it works....
I hope it will work. Just keep it charging. That battery needs a kick in the A.

Your battery needs shock
Wrap it in a plastic case and seal it, put it in deep fridger for 3 -4 hrs, take it out and leave it until it gets the room temprature.
Now you need to charge it with slighly higher amp voltage charger and hopefully it will revive

I've got a problem in my phone, currently using a custom rom 7.1.2 by resurrection Remix on Lenovo A6000, I charged the battery normally upto 100, its discharge was normal till 71 percent. The battery dropped directly from 71 to 50 and now it has been at least 3hours that it is showing 50 percent. Few days ago I got another problem, the battery was 70 percent and then dropped to 53percent and then showed 69 percent. Anyone can help me please? I just wanna know if its just a minor bug or my battery has been screwed...

Xperia S not charging

so i bought yesterday my Xperia S, im pretty happy bla bla bla...
Now, my phone was branded with a carrier [Telcel] from México, so I found a tutorial to unbranding, flashing with flashtool a generic UK firmware....
First was charging normally, but after that the phone dont charge, i left it all the night and only gets to 50%, and now im putting bacj to the charger and its getting 1% - 4% and then go back to 1%, so anybody knows why happens this? how to solve it?
Thanks
Maybe your phone is a faulty one ? contact the carrier, they will most likely replace it with a new one
Does it charge offline??
Press volume up +power untill you feel 3 vibration that will reset and turn it off then try to charge again.
If you succeed to charge it you will have to flash another firmware.
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Before flashing, do a factory reset. But I suggest you to contact the carrier
Well after all your recomendations, i do the power + volume combination technique, and a factory reset (now with Pc companion...), and the battery start to charge, now in 4 hours I get 80% LOL but i think that its discharging a little quick, in 4 hours unplugged battery is now 40% (and im not doing anything with the cellphone...) so tomorrow will go to the service and see what they can do... I hope they give me a new one ¬¬
Hey friend ok i register at xda forum only for your issue
Ok look. Before year i buy my X10i it was and it is "the perfect device for its age". I had issue with battery like you. I did research here and there and ... I solve it with doing the following.
Charge the device to its max (until stop charging). Once is charged don't unplug the charge and remove the battery. wait 10sec and put it again. You will see that device will start charging again. Do that like 3-4 times for next 2-4 days and you will see improvement (at me).
From beginning my device battery was fully discharged in 15hours standby now it keep 2~3days .
Wish that help you a bit.

Yes i have another sony ericsson (mini pro sk17a) and its the same charger.... the same situation, even tieh another cable and in the laptop... the same
Soooooooooo continue with this sadness story... i go on tuesday afternoon to give the cellphone in the service center and they told me that they need to check it, so I say ok ok no problem, I go on Wednesday in the evening and they told me that the cellphone was without failure, that its charging and its ok, they told me that "upgrade" the system version (that its not true... its the same ¬¬) and well.... that be all, I made a question ... How many time take the phone to reach 80% (they are giving me with that charge) ???? and they told me: (with a face of surprise ) like 2 hours.... and I say: It's too much isn't it?, and the women said me that for this type of phones is normal..... so i want to make a question for you... how many time take your Xperia S to charge??? since 5~10% to 100%???? for me 2 hours to get 80% its a lot of time.....
Accordign to the respondes in here i will valorate to go again or leave it in that way....
BTW the cellphone its now charging but its too slowwww for me.... I plugged it at 12:30 am and still have 30% of battery, 40 minutes later its 47%....
How are you charging?
- Via USB or via power charger?
- Is Phone turned on?
- What temperature is the Phone? can be be hot? If it is hot the charging might be slower due to battery protection.
- Aren't there anything consuming battery? What do you see as main contributors in the Battery usage?
Well sorry for take a time to respond but i wanna try and wait a couple of weeks to come back XD

- I have try both of them, via USB take a loooot to charge, and if I start to play even it starts to discharge.... x_X via power charger if im playig with it charges too slow... but charges, it takes 2 - 3 hours to get 100%, if I turn off the screen charges faster, but if i received a message or something the screen turns on and besides the brightness is almost minimal it seems that take more time to charge.....
- Yes its turned on, when its off it seems to charge faster but... well i'm off like 2 hours for all my friends or family
- Its cold indeed, right now its charging and its cold, not heat at all
- The main contributors are:
the screen... obvisuly 56%
Android system 12%
cellphone in wait 12%
standby phone 6%
wifi 5%
facebook 3%
and mcafee 2%
as you can see nothing strange
I dont have brightness to 100% its like 30% when its on and only wifi turn on
So i want to ask again to you, how many time take your Xperia S to take 100% of charge??? its normal this behavior...?

For me, it takes two hours. That's without me using it during the charge period, wifi/data/bluetooth off.
One question: which charger do you have? EP800 or EP850/851?

2 hours well it seems to be "normal" then, i will have to turn all off and see how much time takes... for me its too much i get used to have my mini pro (sk17a) get charge in 1 hour 30 mins or even less with the screen turn on and wifi & bluetooth on too
I have EP800, seems that EP850 only its given in a few markets, México its not the case
Ok, go back to the service center... and buy the charger they used in your phone...

You said that service guys tested the phone and it is ok, and you tested the two chargers with another device, right?
If yes, change your charger cable with another one. Try to use brand new, they are not to expensive. And try to find some brand name cable like Samsung or Nokia.

I have 2 chargers, and 3 cables , one from my xperia mini, one that i bought from ebay (want to have one in the car for emergencies of a dead battery) and a new one that come with the S.... I'm using the one I bought and the xperia mini.... maybe thats the cause but i really doubt it...
Same issue on Xperia P
I have a similar issue on my new Xperia P since day 1. When I charge my phone using the charger, it charges upto 50% +/- 5%. It will not go beyond that even if the charger is connected for hours. If I charge it from a PC through USB it goes to 100% without any issues. Also, if I charge it through the charger with the phone turned OFF, it charges 100%. So this appears to be a software related issue and not something to do with the charger.
Any suggestions?
*My phone is currently on ICS. Though the issue existed even with GB.
Well, let it pass a week and lets see what happen, mine fixes by itself, now just take 1 hour and a half to charge it , but in the beginning was a pain in the ass

S3 on JB not charging

Hi guys,
I've installed the latest official JB ROM and everything is fine.
However when i have the phone connected to the same power adapter and cable I normally use, the phone just doesn't charge.
Battery settings shows charging as AC, red LED is on etc.
But the percentage just hasn't moved from 51% in over an hour of charge.
Any ideas on this as it was fine on ICS LH1.
It is probably recharging, Just reboot the phone and look at the percentage again.
PS, this belongs in the Q&A
Sorry, can it be moved.
I just rebooted and it showed 50%.
A few minutes later and it's showing 49%

Don't worry about what it says on the screen. Power off the phone and plug it in so it charges quick. Unplug it when the LED is green.
OK, about to leave work so I'll try that at home.
But the % on the front was always accurate before.
Is this a bug with JB or something?
Installed wanam LIB last night. I woke up this morning after my phone has been on the charger all night and it was only showing 96%. Seems like the charging behavior, or at least the battery reporting, has been changed.

I turned it off for 10 minutes while charging and it went from 47% to 48%.
really hoping this will fix itself with a charge to 100% while off.

yes it happened to me too. i woke up to see my phone at 7%, and i hooked it up with 15%
i'm sure i played with the charging speed while i had siyah kernel, i guess this might be the reason

Same Problem here!
Charged last night (8 hours - poweradapter) and it went from 68% to only 80 %.
... but if i charge it via PC (USB 2.0 Port) it charges normal and really quick.
I'm on DLIB (fresh install with full wipe/dalvik etc).
Don't worry about what it displays. After 1 bettery cycle it will show accurate information. If you're charging your phone and the percentage drops it means that it hasn't calibrated the battery charge information. Just use it as you would and after 1 or 2 days you will see an accurate display of battery percentage.

Battery Problem?

Is anybody else having the problem of their phone not charging higher than 90% ? I woke up this morning and my phone was on 86 % after being on the charger all night and now my phone won't charge up past 90%.
No problems here. Goes to 100% on both wired and wireless charger.

Your phone first will not actually charge to 100% and also will stop charging at "100" and go down to 90 and charge and then discharge... you get my point. Do not leave it plugged in overnight.
my only goes to 99%...but i think thats fine...
