Ok so phone doesn't charge as fast as usual and while charging and using it loses battery percentage and never has before. Also when I get a full charge then unplug it goes straight down to 12%. What do you guys think.... Battery or port problems?

The only way to know that answer is to rule out possibilities. Try different batteries and chargers.

I just bought another battery. I found it was the battery more than port problems or anything like that. My friend and I have the same phones, same roms. We tested this by first going through 3 power cycles. After we charged it, we had only the same apps working, except for some minor checking of FB and twitter (I don't use twitter, but he does).
After our 4th power cycle, it seemed like his phone was dying faster w/ my battery in it. His battery in my phone lasted about 5-10 hours more, I did my normal daily activities on it, even played some youtube videos in class.
So I bought a new one, and bam, stays alive more than 12 hours

Common sense post of the day:
You have to be really careful getting phone accessories off e-bay. In the past I've been duped into buying a fake SD card and a wonky battery.

Right i seriously need help now guys.
My battery is completely and utterly- f*cked.
It says it is charging but it doesnt charge- the number changes but it goes for 80% then drop to 70% etc so i can never get a full charge.
I thought i fixed it last night when i drained it and recharged it back to as high as i could get it (94%), unlocked it this morning and it went from 70% when i locked it last night to 50%- and thats not the worst part- i sent 3 texts and it went to 15% battery, yes, 15%.
I am appaled at it and its well and truly put me off buying another Android phone or Samsung phone.
I need help now, if you guys cant fix it for me, my warranty is over from Carphone Warehouse and i cant be arsed with it.
I cant afford to simply go and buy a new phone so please dont say that kind of dumb suggestion.
Thank you.
Also i want to know if the problem is my phone, the battery itself or the charger/usb cable.
Nobody?
/10 characters
Well, alittle phone info might help.
What phone is it?
How old is it?
If you do have warranty, I would suggest using it.
If you're rooted, try calibrating the battery, Either wipe the battery stats manually in CWM or just use this handy app from the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
be sure to follow instructions precisely.
Check to make sure that all your apps that have updates where it can notify you are set to update in intervals of.every 1-2 hours. If you have several games on the phone that have a simulation theme to it like paradise island there are constant clocks that will run in the background regardless if you use a task killer. That I'm only like 90% sure but of. If you think about It things kinda evolve in the game each little item takes a form of clock in the code..which drains battery. The more.games you have the more constant clocks that will run. If you have several social networking apps I.e Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google+ etc or any other app that can post to one another social i.e Twitter will also post one Facebook at the same time. One post Will run both apps if one is always set to update like every 30 minutes both with run in the background. If any app that you log in with logs in with a.Facebook account then once you open that up and your signed in then the internet app will be active.because.its accessing.the internet to log in. So in the end check to see what the intervals are when apps refresh for notifications. Try setting your peek times and off peek times for updates, and uninstall Any apps that you haven't gone to for over a 4 days. The chances.are you rarely use them. Hopefully this helps. One last thing is that some batteries if it only takes 4 hrs to fully charge the battery stops charging and uses its own power regardless if its plugged in. Ie you plug the phone in when you go to bed at 10pm the phone takes 4hra so at 2am the battery no longer runs off the charger it runs from the battery itself. Then when you wake up it may aleady be at 80%.
I'd any of this helps let me know. Gold luck.

You need to redownload the Rom manager and do a new flash recovery. Other than that i think your battery might be just old. Batteries do have a limit to to how many times they can be recharged. That's why on new battery packages they say 1000 charges or something like that meaning after 1000 charges the battery will begin to increasingly die quicker. Sorry for the wording I'm not sure how to to word that. Youll probably be better off buying a new battery.

I cant do a new flash recovery as my phone isnt on the Clockworkmod Rom Manager list- i had to install it via ODIN, its alot of hassle.
Ive had this phone barely 6 months- it got replaced last time it got repaired, i find it hard to believe the battery is gone already :S

if you had your phone replaced you may have received a refurbished phone. Most businesses do that if your not there to pick a new one up.
I can try as a favor. Exactly what brand of phone do you have and version. I.E HTC Hero. if its a device that is on multiple carriers which carrier. I might have a battery laying around. If i have one they are in good shape I keep tons from friends who give me there old phones I use the phones for robotics but not the batteries So if you let me know what you have and if i have it i can mail the battery to you for free. I know how it feels when someone is in this case im more then will to help. its up to you.
That would be fantastic.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa (5)
i5500
Its on o2 but its unlocked i think as i used my old Orange sim in it before i switched to o2.

Ooo. Galaxy I haven't gotten one of those. But if you look on the battery its should have information like 2600mAh Li-Polymer Rechargeable Battery. 3.7V 9.6Wh.
And on the bitten it will say "for use with Sprint smart devise EVO 4g by HTC Sony cells." That's for my phone yours will be different but similar. With that info i can try and find a battery that is compatible. If i don't I have a friend where i live that is the co owner soft this battery surplus store. They have every kind if battery imaginable. I can get one there and send it to you. Its not a problem because phones are a requirment and your in a sitiuation that I have no problem helping out with. Let me know what the battery info is and ill see what i can do

The only issue is that I can use my phone as much as I want without having to worry about it dying while I'm out. On previous phones I had to change my behavior and usage to make it last. Granted I wish it lasted 5 days like my phones did in the 90s, but the trade offs are worth it.
I'm with everyone else what issue 22 hours of battery life for me.
huh.
have no idea what you're talking about.
How are you charging the phone? If you use the OEM charger supplied with the phone, it is taking overnight to get to 80%? Any other charger than OEM, or charging using your computer, is very likely to exhibit the problem you're talking about, but if the problem is with the OEM charger, that's really strange, especially for two devices. Mine takes about 2.5-3 hours for 0 to full using the OEM charger.

A quote from the OP of that thread "It only seemed to charge at a reasonable rate with the stock charger that shipped "
So the issue is that if you use the charger that Samsung provided there is no problem... but when you use some knockoff or charger made for another model phone, then it doesn't charge as quickly? And you want to report to Samsung that these third party chargers don't work as well as the OEM one? If so, I would love to be the person at Samsung responding to that complaint.
Check out the other thread on this topic. It seems they have explained the issue. It's related to a couple of shorted wires in the charger.

That's what I wanted to find out from this OP. I'm the OP of the linked post, and I'm not complaining at all that 3rd party chargers do not charge as fast as the OEM charger. I was just providing that information. But I'm curious if the OP of this post is using the OEM charger and having issues, or if he/she is using a 3rd party charger, and having issues? No word back from them, so I guess they don't care that much lol.
No matter what firmware/ROM/kernel combo I use, this issue is always there.
The problem I have is this:
I can have my phone on charge and it will charge at a rate of X.
While my phone is on charge, if I perform a reboot... it takes a humongous jump upwards.
My phone was at 14% when I put it on charge for 30 minutes and it made it to 39% I performed a reboot (~1min 30sec) and it jumped to 71% and then after 15 minutes up to 83%
The screen shot below shows this issue.
Is this normal?
Also, If I leave my phone on charge, usually overnight and the next morning when I leave its at 100% percent, it will drain fast at a rate of X
Once I get low on battery and charge it up, 100% or not, it drains a lot slower, say like .5X
I'm not sure if that makes any sense, but it's like my phone will last a lot longer charging it the second time during the day.
Hmm never seen that high of a jump after reboot, have you tried a different battery? I personally use laza batteries, I have two of them. So instead of charging using my phone, I use the external wall charger for one battery while I use the other and just cycle them.
You might wanna wiki lithium ion batteries, they behave in different ways depending on a lot of different factors

Bought two anker batteries at the same time I bought the phone, the Samsung battery is still in the box and I've never used the phone to charge. Swap the battery between the phone and charger every second morning, it's the first smart phone I've not had to worry about battery life.

I've always been a battery swapper since the early Nokia days. Can't bear the thought of not having a fresh battery there ready to go when I am. No waiting for phone to charge at the last minute when heading out of the door.
Ah, maybe I should note that for most tasks I use my Nexus 7 :laugh:. Oops-a-daisy. I use Galaxy S 3 mainly for music and when I study on bus. No gaming or movies.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!

Does anyone still condition their batteries whenever flashing new ROMS and such? I remember back when I had the Vibrant when it first came out and I learned about custom ROMs and xda forums, you always had to condition your battery afterwards. This idea still relevant at all for keeping a healthy battery or extending its life cycle?

If you mean charging your phone to 100% and deleting batterystats.bin, that process is pretty useless. The battery stats file is automatically deleted when your phone reaches 100%, and unless you phone is almost dead, just use and charge it normally.
I usually calibrate the battery using battery calibration only after I have went from dead to 100% on the battery on a new ROM. If you have any issues with drainage like I have on Tweaked before, just do it.

I've has GN2 since launch day. Never conditioned the battery once, never had a single battery problem on stock, Cleanrom or Tweaked. This is the first phone in a long time that the battery just works and lasts and lasts without micromanagement.
I've been wondering this since I got this phone. I always saw the battery threads in the charge forum and thought it was weird when I didn't see that here. I've dine it a few times on this phone but I guess now I know that I don't need too.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I've been using my Note II for a couple of weeks now and I never had to do any conditioning when using anything TouchWiz based. I flashed an AOSP ROM for the first time today, so I'll be keeping an eye out to see the changes.
Also do you guys think its a bad idea to flash ROMs without a fully charged battery?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I do battery conditioning...it's called letting the battery management system do it's job and not trying to interfere.
And, there is no particular advantage to flashing with a full charge. I actually can't remember the last time I did, and I'm thinking back across 3 phones over two years. The worst you might get is a messed up percentage until you fully charge, but even that is rare.
The only thing I would worry about if flashing while low on battery would be the device dying mid flash.
Other than that I can see no reason not to.
Right on, thanks for the responses guys. Yeah I just been curious about this because before I used to always see people talk about conditioning batteries and wiping battery stats etc.

Pretty sure the main reason you don't want to flash on a low battery is it could run out while it's still flashing. I've flashed at 30% and no ill affects.
People should go here and then make up their own minds rather then try to follow a bunch of mixed information.
