Today I ran out of battery ( I plugged the charger when the phone was at 2%, but it froze). I turned it off, and the battery charging screen showed up. Let it charge for a little while, tried turning it on, then froze at Samsung screen. If I turn it off it, turns back on and freezes at the same point, and thus a bootloop.
I can enter recovery and it says that battery is at 20%. What's wrong?
I went into recovery again and it says 37% now even the battery charging screen drawing looks like it's good way less!
just let it juice up for 5 hours.

Nevermind, it was a coincidence with this damn LS8 bootloop bug: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126442
factory reset then.

yup, it was fixed by doing that. I'm charging it to 100% and going back to LSJ, I'm done with LASS8.

This morning, I woke up to find me 3vo plugged in, but the light was off and I couldn't turn the phone off. My first thought was that it died.....while plugged in over night? So I pulled the battery, put it back in, plugged it in, and the red charging light came on, but only half the brightness it normally is. It also wouldn't turn on and the light turned off after a couple of seconds. I then pulled the battery, waited a minute, put it back in, plugged in, and it seemed to be charging like normal. I turned it on but it took a couple of minutes to boot up, much longer than any normal boot up time.
On a separate occasion, I had 60% battery life one afternoon. I checked my phone 15 minutes later and it said the battery was 5% or less and then shut down a couple of seconds after I turned the screen on.
There was nothing to link these two incidents. I'm trying to figure out if it is a problem with software, hardware, or battery. I can't make the problem happen, so its going to be interesting if I need to take it to a sprint store for a replacement/repair. Thanks for any input or ideas.
Phone is stock, no root.
I know I've had to pull my battery for unknown reasons to start it. The only time I ever so the led at half brightness is when the phone is booting without quickboot (battery pull clears memory for a quickboot). It's like putting your computer in sleep mode, your computer sends fast startup information to volatile memory (ram), so it boots off fast RAM instead of slow hard drives.
As for your 60 to 5 in 2.5 (seconds). I'd try wiping your battery stats in recovery. Make sure you have a FULL charge, wipe battery stats, fully drain the battery, the fully charge. Your battery meter should be accurate afterwards...

So this morning when I unplugged my phone from charging all night, like I always do, the notification bar said the phone was still charging. I plugged charger back in and unplugged and it went away. A couple hours later, I noticed my battery was draining extremely fast. I check the battery in the Settings>About phone>Battery Usage, and it said the phone had been on battery for 24hrs. Meaning the phone never recognized it had charged. I refreshed and no change. I wiped battery stats in recovery and it seemed to work. I later charged the phone to 100% and the problem started again. Phone kept showing the setcpu charging bolt in the notification bar. When I checked battery usage, it just showed 0 seconds on battery and there is nothing there. No display time, no android OS, nothing. I decided to flash uNamed, coming from serendipity. After flash, battery usage still showed 0 seconds on battery. I pulled the battery, and then ended up in a batter charging/battery empty bootloop sort of thing. If I pressed all three buttons (vol up vol dwn and pwr) it would take me to download mode. I had to flash an odin kernel just to get phone working again, but battery stats are still screwy. Any ideas?
Edit > my phone keeps showing charging bolt symbol when its not plugged in. Got it to turn off by plugging/unplugging phone several times. While sitting in my pocket the phone made that noise it makes when you plug it in. Now my phone thinks its charging again. Wtf

So I took the prime of its box, plugged it into the wall and tried turning it on. When I did, the Android battery indicator screen showed up. The battery was in the red, about a quarter the way up. I've since called Asus about the issue, and they told me to charge it for about an hour. I've done that, and still it doesn't work. It still boots into the same screen. It won't even go into recovery if I hold volume- and power for 10 seconds, just back to the battery screen. I feel like maybe I'M doing something wrong here. Any ideas, guys?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's gotta charge. mine did that too and i was freaking out. apparently not all tablets are charged. It took about 10 minutes to finally get it to boot up.
If you charge it and it still doesnt...then it might be time to ..worry
I'm only worried because it's been charging for an hour and still just goes to the battery screen, shutting off immediately after. I'll let it charge for a few hours and if it still doesn't work I'll just have to call Asus.
Whoa sorry to hear this.When i plugged mine in it started booting up & went to the home screen.It had 21% battery left on it.So i shut it down & letting it charge the full 8 hours that's recommended before even using the device.I hope yours works.
Make sure the charging light is on
where's the charging light?
its built into the power on button. a tiny little orange led
It's not coming on. When I plug the tablet in, it recognizes that it's plugged in and vibrates, tries to turn onamd fails.
Make sure it is plugged in all the way in the tablet.. and then wait a bit. you must use the wall charger.
It has been plugged all the way into the tablet with the wall charger :-/
Dang! Sorry to hear this. if it doesn't come on within the hour id say just exchange it. it might bea faculty unit. it should have enough juice to boot up by now considering if you charging it properly. Good luck. wish it was working for you because this is a great device.
I am having the same problem too when I first plugged it in the battery indicator screen came on real fast and turned off the orange charging light came on and turned off.I tried plugging into the computer it does nothing diffrent.I think it might bricked.
okay. i just got my primetoday, same deal. it doesn't start, tried to reset, etc. i finally charged it for a while, after a while, it finally boots. at that point it was at the 15% battery life mark.
seems a bit odd.... i would wait and see.. if its game stop they would of had games installed on it.
I just got mine today...woot!!! But the issue that u have happened to me also what it happened was a faulty charger

I tested the charger on my phone and it worked. I plugged into the tablet and pressed the power button the led came on and blinked and turned off quickly.I think the battery needs a good charge.
I had to charge mine until the battery indicator was green before it would turn on. Said in the manual to fully charge before using for the first time... so maybe it doesn't let you start up until charged?
Well after 3 hours of charging it finaly started up but the battery level was low 3% showing that tells me the battery had no charge in it.Well I am happy that it is working and hopefully no other problems show up.
Good to hear
Same exact thing happened to me, lol. Mine arrived with zero charge and I just let it sit for about an hour plugged in and all was well.

At this point I'm not necessarily looking for any help, but would still be interested in anyone else's similar experience.
My phone has stock JB, rooted but unlocked.
Last night I set my phone on the nightstand with around 80% battery. Didn't have any reason to touch it until around 11:30am, at which time I pressed the lock button and got no immediate response. Tried holding down the button for a while, then, thinking maybe the battery had somehow run down completely overnight, plugged in the charger (Kindle Fire charger which I always have used) and held down the button until I got the LG logo and then the charging icon, at which point I powered it up.
It was at 50% battery when it booted up, which was kind of odd, and even weirder, it said it was slow charging, which it should not have been from this charger. I unplugged and plugged the charger in and it started charging normally. When I checked the battery history graph, it showed a normal discharge and then an instant drop from around that 80% level to just under 50% at the time I rebooted. So it had been alive all night, just unresponsive to being unlocked for some reason.
I have an OG Motorola Droid that was working just fine until I disable a few system apps (which stated "safe to remove") with the System Cleanup app.
Ever since that, the phone dropped to 1%.
When I went home, it died. I hooked it up, charged it a bit (around 20% I believe) - and it was working just fine.
And it all of a sudden went back to 1%.
I tried the Battery Calibration app, it claimed that the phone was still at 1%.
Then the phone Randomly died - BUT when I turned it back on, it was claimed to be charged at 56%.
I tried using it, and it dies Again. Then when I turned it back on, it was claimed to be at 1%.
I went into the CWM-Based Recovery, did a factory reset, wiped Everything (including battery stats), reinstalled the Jelly Bean rom I have on my android and it's kernel and gaaps, and when the phone turned back on, it claimed to be charged at 60%.
Then, it turned Back off.
I turned it back on, claims to be at 1% again.
If I try to charge it, it seems to Stay at 1%.
I swear - I Know the battery is still charging, as it's very warm. I have no idea why this keeps happening.
None of this had happened Until I used System Cleanup.
Even though I did a factory reset, are the disabled apps still disabled?
Also, is there anything else I can do besides buy a new battery? What if the battery isn't the reason why this is happening?
Please help me, and thank you.
(Status Report: I tried to get into the CWM-Based Recovery without the charger to see what happens - it loads up, but shuts down about 3 minutes afterwards.
I have just now removed the battery for about 5 minutes, just put it back on the charger, and now it's at 5%...
Turned the phone off - it wouldn't come on unless I plugged it in. Plugged it in, and now it's at 60%.
Did it again, now it's back to 1%.
Did it again, now it's at 56%.
...someone please help me, lol!)
