Hey,
So I've been using my RAZR XT910 for almost a year now. The phone's battery discharges from 50% to 20% all of a sudden. Also, if I plug in the charger to the phone, instead of charging, the battery discharges! If my battery is at 15% suppose, and I plug in the AC charger, then after a while its down to 10% instead of getting charged to 20%.
Has anybody else experienced this? This is causing a lot of inconvenience and I'm thinking of getting it fixed at the service center, however since my phone is rooted and I have installed CM10/AOKP in the past, I'm afraid they may find out and void my warranty. Its on STOCK ROM now btw.
I noticed mine did this too but I was using a non-motorola charger. Ever since I got one it has been fine. Have you tried charging it all the way to 100% with the phone off?

Hey guys,
I've seen this for other phones but I didn't see a thread here. When my Razr is charging it's basically unusable as the touchscreen is very erratic.
Is there any way to fix this or is it just down to trial and error with different chargers or something like that?
Thanks!
Well writing right now from razr while charging it.
I do not have this problems. Everything works fine.

I have a off brand charger that will do that. I can't even use the phone unless I take it off the charger bascially. It's a wall charger that isn't USB. My Motorola USB charger that came with the phone won't do this.
the cause of this is using chargers that did not originally come with the phone.
It will charge the phone but because of wiring/voltage differences your phone becomes erratic receiving input from both ur finger and the charger plug
........or something like that

Never used a non original charger and the same happens to me sometimes with default swipe keyboard.

I have that problem too. Using swiftkey x and the default keyboard. It only happens when the phone is plugged to the official charger and has over 89%of battery. It starts to became a bit crazy.

I also have the problem using the original Motorola charger. On mine it depends how fast it's charging. The faster it's charging, the more unresponsive the touch input is. The charging rate depends on the total charge % of the battery.
You can see the charge/discharge rate using the Battery Monitor Widget, along with a full history.
Mine is like this:
Under 80% battery: charging at +850mA/hr. This is when it's most unresponsive.
80% - 95%: it tapers off to +550mA/hr, when the phone is usable, but not perfect.
over 95%: charging at +35mA/hr and the phone is completely responsive.
A bit unrelated - using the latest AOKP GSM, my battery drains at 0.6%/hr (-9 to -11mA/hr) when idle, with no power saving features enabled. Not too bad!
My samsung charger and htc charger both work fine.
The moto one seems to cause issues on occasion but ive never paid attention to the battery level just stopped using it.
I just got a Samsung Battery Charger/Stand with Battery & have just charged the new battery with it, swapped it for the old one that had just run out when I noticed something weird...
The new battery was showing up as 100% for about 15 minutes. During which time I had the screen on for 3 minutes at full brightness.
What does that mean??
I've never seen 100% for any more than a second after I've unplugged the phone.
I'm assuming there's some difference between the batteries and the stats that are in the phone for the battery. I've used the Battery Calibration app before, when changing roms on my old phone, and that would sort out little anomalies. Do I need to use battery calibration every time I switch batteries?
Will this work itself out?
Will this swapping negatively affect my phone in anyway?
I thank you in advance for your help/suggestions
The phone has logic to not let the battery charge to 100% for too long. The charger does not. Battery calibration apps do nothing.

So... the charger over charged the battery?
Will that damage it?

I posted the same thing in the morning on another thread. Great mind think alike! Haha
Well to me it doesn't mean anything wrong really. Just that the phone doesn't fully charge the battery for safety or maybe heat reasons. Who knows? If samsung desktop charger is approved by samsung its good enough to me.

Guess your right.
So yours was saying 100% for unusually long as well?

It did on my new one for about 5min. Only but I had wifi on and screen and doing some work. It Wasatch new battery and didn't think much of it. I would say that even that was way more than the immediate 99% once off the charger on the phone

Just read your earlier post. Seems strange that the external charger charges more than the phone. I guess I can't complain about a few extra minutes!

One of my usual days with the battery charged up in the morning on he desktop charger, and I'm now 8 almost and have 72% when previously I was getting about 60% around this time

My DX2 suddenly sucks for battery life. This morning I took it off ther charger at 100% and used it for 20 minutes looking at twitter. I got the 15% remaining message and 2 minutes later I get the 5% message and it immediately shuts down. I go to plug it in and the larger battery graphic comes up (the one it shows when you are charging it while it's off). And it says 80%. So I unplug it and turn it back on. Once it went through it's boot up and aquired signal and all that, my battery widget shows 50%. I plugged the charger back in and in about 10 minutes, it said 60%.
A couple days ago, I left the house with 90% and turned on GPS and navigation. I got 8 miles from my house and it shut down due to dead battery.
Is the battery going bad or is the phone going bad that it can't read the battery?
Whenever I check the battery usage, it either shows DISPLAY or IDLE as the number one battery user.
What are you running for a ROM?

Sounds like a battery issue or defect in the phone somewhere. Or, it could be a very old custom rom but you haven't answered that yet so not sure.

No ROM. Bone stock
Sounds like a dead battery to me. If you know anyone with another X2 or a Droid X (same exact battery) try swapping. If you continue to face the issue it is a defective phone. It someone else's battery seems fine it's a defective battery.

Hey, so is it a good idea to charge overnight? I've heard that the charger may overheat and melt the usb port or something like that. So do you guys charge the phone overnight or not?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Its a bad idea.
usually ppl do keep their mobile phones on charge at the night and unplug it off at morning.
recently even i've asked the same question to the salesman of the samsung company he suggestes me not to do that cause it may harm your battery.

Hey, how you doing bud?
You rooted yet? Lol.......
I don't think the phone will overheat if your not using it at the time but it can shorten battery life a little leaving it on charge for longer than necessary, mine doesn't seem too bad with this setup I'm on now my temp never goes over 35° but before this setup i was getting temps of up to 55° when charging and using the phone at the same time. Don't think thats what caused my problems i told you about with chargers burning out though as the last one happened just as i plugged it into a cold phone.
I've always charged every phone I've ever had at night and haven't ever seen battery life go down on any phone i've owned. Not saying i recommend it but its never caused me any harm.

I have charged my phone for 8 hours over night EVERY night since I bought it (beginning of March), and the battery life is excellent.
Last time I looked at battery stats (yesterday) I had 1d 16hrs time on battery and 3hrs 53mins of screen on time, with normal usage.
My normal use is: about 1 hour music, 1.5hours internet browsing, texts, calls, flashing zips etc
So in short, with my experience overnight charging doesn't harm the battery at all

Not yet, will hopefully get to it in the next weeks. Real busy atm. And unlike on wildfire I don't feel an immediate need to do it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
you can charge your phone all night, on condition that you must ensure your phone chager is original, if so, you can do it, as the original chager can adjust the voltage of the phone battery. if not, it is very dangerous to your phone.
Hi,
I just noticed that after 12+h connected to charger my SGS3 is still at 87% of battery level. Does anyone faced that kind of issue?
- phone is new
- this is first full charge
- soft: JB (XEO)

hi adam!
that is odd.. i have not experienced that.... ever.
anyway, here are some of my theories:
considering you are using a wall socket...
a. your battery is defective
b. your charger is defective
c. just some other matters such as: black-out, some one unplugged the charger
i suggest you use your warranty now

Its ok now, i restarted the phone, charged it a bit turned off, and started charging again when turned on. its now green led and 100% looks like new battery stuck for a while when charging.

Also make sure to use the sammy charger and cable they are sensitive about not having Samsung branded things inserted into them
Thats a jelly bean issue which alot of people are facing...i charged it to 100% In like 8 hours and now on my second charge cycle and its charging perfectly like it used to on ICS roms
Ps: i am using HTC charger with orignal s3 cable
