Like title says, lately, my phone is charging notably slower. Even on my wall charger. I plugged in last night around 12 and at 7am it was only at 95%. I tried two other wall chargers with the same results. I'm running the latest ViperRez Rom, no mods, used battery calibration as always. I tried wiping cache/dalvik, and battery stats. Any other suggestions?

Having this same issue
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I noticed the same thing but with my car charger. Was running nils ics rom with sense 3.6 and battery was great. Then reflashed the same rom and started getting worse. I can usually drive with gps, 4g and talk on the phone and charger still charged. But now lately I've started getting messages on my phone saying that it's not charging enough and that I'm drawing more than able to charge. Haven't changed any of my habits and all hardware is still the same. Not really sure what's going on

might just be a bad battery. if you go to you nearest VZW store and tell them your phone is charging slow and you want to try a new battery, they will exchange the battery right there.

i dont see why they would. its part of the phone and under the 1 year warranty. if they replace beats headphones, which they have for me already, then they would replace it. just talk to them.

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.

The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.

Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

I cant enter recovery mode or download because it says battery is too low.
I've had something a little similar happen to me recently. Mine was reporting a constant charge when unplugged. The fix was cleaning the USB port with alcohol and a toothbrush, and then using a toothpick to push the inside of the USB board up just barely. Apparently USB port issues are common with this model. Maybe that's the issue with your phone?

I'm able to get to download mode without the battery in. I've tried flashing the stock samsung rom but same problem. I'm unable to do anything else without the battery. With the battery in I cant even get to download mode or anything else. I'm just gonna try another battery from the att store. Otherwise if anybody else knows anything plz let me know.
I'm having this exact same issue. I can't get into download mode though. How were you able to?
I have tried leaving it on the charger for over an hour now, and no luck. I think the battery has literally died on me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013766
**Update** I can get into download mode as well without the battery in. But I haven't flashed anything yet as I'm guessing we both have the same issue. Its got to be the battery. Let me know how the test at ATT turns out. If good, I'll just buy one off ebay for like $7
Try this: Once you are in download mode without the battery, put the battery in and see if it charges (give it a hour or so). Someone did this when they had the problem you are having and it worked for them.

I'm unsure, but maybe you're right and it is your battery. I'm not an expert with this kind of stuff so I can't offer too much help beyond the basics. From what I understand our phone's battery has a gauge built in to monitor battery level and report it to the OS, instead of relying on Android's built in monitoring. Maybe that got messed up when the battery was completely discharged? Hope a new battery gets it working for you, those are relatively cheap.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
I went ahead and bought a new battery from Ebay. Only like $4 so I'm not too worried if it doesn't fix it. I'll update everyone when I get it!
I met this problem before. The phone shew charging and then reboot, again and again. The phone was overheated, in the night before.
I bought new battery and external battery charger from eBay. The new battery works well, and the old battery works well after charged by the external charger once. It seems that the cellphone need some minimal battery to work. I guess the phone use too much battery in the night, for some unknown reason, so the phone does not able to get enough power to get into charging circle.
I'ts my guess. If someone can test the voltage of battery, it may show the reason.
Replaced the battery and it is fixed. Just had a battery completely drain on me.
I recently put a new ROM on. And now its taking ALL day to charge. Its only been doing this a few days. But it seems to take an hour to charge 1% using stock charger/ cable. Also tried others. Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

A bit slower than normal, but if coming to this rom fresh, it needs a few days to "settle"...
My math shows this:
89% - end charge
minus
46 %- start charge
= 43% charge
divided by 6 hours, = 7.16 % per hour.
Better than my build gets right now....with a stock battery...(using CM9 stable today).....
Watch it for a few more days and monitor the charge rate. I'm not ruling out a problem with battery either, but considering the fact that your last build was better, the battery should be fine.
But honestly, once the stats get built and the rom settles in, you will likely see an increase in charging rate, and a decrease in discharge time.
The symptoms your having are not uncommon after flashing a new build.
Also, have you verified your wireless connections ?..I.E.is the device attempting to access wifi, or roam on wireless bands ?
Often times this causes rapid battery drain....
Thats my .02 at the moment brother......g

Here is a solution: Get a new ROM because the ROM you have installed is over clocked too much so the voltage the phone gets from the battery is almost equivalent to the voltage of your charger. The charger has a voltage of 5, which means the phone has a voltage of now 4.7V
Ok so since I had my phone I noticed the battery drained while being Charged...
And my phone tells me its drawing to much power from the charger to charge my phone more than it should. I do use my phone as its charging but I'm mainly texting nothing else..I'm

Your cable might be broken. Mine had some faulty wires after some time and it only pumped 20-40 miliamps while charging. So it barely maintained the battery level. If I twisted the cable in a certain way it charged normally.
So maybe try another cable before buying a new battery.

Laza Zcell 3460mah HTC Evo 3D Extended Battery on amazon
This battery works great! its cheap with the right rom can last 4-5 days im on harmonia and it doesnt make the phone bulky i think it makes the grip better. only con to me i noticed that if i dont let the batery die completely it wont last long for example if i charge it at 40% i get 1 and a half maybe 2 if i charge after it dies completely it last 4 days, it also takes along time to charge completely. Also make sure your using a htc cord i used a blackberry cord and it never charged my phone. i hope this helps!
You could try using someones battery just to see what happens. If the phone works, buy new battery and if the same thing happens there is something wrong with the motherboard. Just google which phones are battery compliant with yours and hope someone you know has that phone

So i upgraded hboot back to version 1.53. and its ok for now, but on 1.53. you cant run cm10 roms i think.
Maybe this can help you..
