[Q] Battery not charging - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Heyy i've had this issue from after installing zeubea's CM10 .. my battery will not charge past 74% ... i've tried various roms since, but in vain. Anyone have a solution ? for it to charge to 100% ? The battery life on the phone is horrible as it is, now with this problem the phone doesn't last more than 4/5 hours.

My 1st question is, how old is your phone/battery?
Not Long after using zeubeas Rom/s I noticed my battery doing the same thing, turned out the battery itself was at the end of its life. I'm not saying zeubeas Rom caused it but it did seam to coincide about the same time. Maybe try backing up your current Rom and restore an older backup and use that for a while and see the results.

Try going into the testing menu and look at the battery life.
You should see something like this.
Look at the battery scale. It could be a problem with the ROM and that the scale is only up to 74%. If it says 100, then you'll have to look at getting your battery replaced.

NOTICED WEIRD BATTERY STAT i9100!!

Hi guys I have noticed a strange Battery status..
I had my battery percentage showing above 50%
Then I switched off the phone,
took the battery out for a few seconds,
put back the battery and switched on the phone.
The battery was down by 15-20%
Then it started to gain a few percentage (upto 5%) of battery without me putting it to any kind of charging point/data cable.
What kind of weird thing is this in the Galaxy s2.
I am using Android 2.3.5
Simple&Clean v1.3
Speedmod k2-16
I have also attached a screenshot of it.
Please tell me why is this happening cuz this happens every time i take my battery out.
Thanks
nah, its ok. just a bug which happens sometimes. happened to me many many times.
Or if you are constantly overcharging the battery it will happened .

You can't overcharge if your phone is working right. Its probably just drift in the monitoring circuit.

It's due to Samsung's built in battery calibration. When flashing firmware cwm can throw battery stats off, but after using the ROM for a while it will auto correct itself. Nothing to worry about dude!

hey djsherry, did u figure this problem out? because I have the same and if you (and others) have a close look at your screenshot your phone shows the same amount of time both for elapsed and remaining time on battery!!! Thats a weird situation, I have read hundreds of threads and still couldnt figure that out! Anyone??? Must have a problem with the hardware (battery monitoring) or with the battery itself?!?
Search before posting please, nothing weird about this. It is well documented well understood behavior.
Delete.
Its common, resetting your battery gauge will reduce this to some extent

[Q] Battery life issues

Hello
I've been having some battery problems with my sgs2. I've bought it in june of 2011, it is my first smartphone and I was immediately pleased with it. great phone, everything working properly. since it was my first phone I was a light user and the battery could last me 2 days, sometimes it even got to last 3 days. However, at the beginning of the year I felt a sudden drop in battery performance, coming to last only 12-15 hours with light use. by this time I became more of a medium-heavy user and under "normal" use the phone would be dead at 10 hours, maximum.
I bought a new battery, official samsung 2000 mAh, and the performance became slightly better. It would at least last a day of work, but the performance was never as good as the original 1650 mAh battery when I first bought the phone.
by this time I began experimenting with ROMs, ressurection remix, miui, and now pfittech. but as time passes the performance is always dropping and today something strange happened. I locked my phone at 17% of battery, and after a while I checked it and the battery was at 18%. I checked again and is now at 19%. Right now it's 21%. What the hell?
can anyone help me? any help would be much appreciated.
p.s. i've tried calibrating the battery and I've read in the forums that on JB it's not necessary because the phone now clears battery stats when they reach 100%. I've also changed the stats with extweaks to absolutely no effect. I've been reading many topics on this but nothing quite seems to fit my situation.
mate u have to reset gauge in extweak then kill ur battery and pull off for 5 min then charge that should do

Battery problems after fleshing custom rom

Hello. I got a lot of problems with my battery. It was all fine until i rooted and flsahed a custom rom. I flsahed jellybam and wiped cache data battrey stats and everything before. I get a lot of random shut downs and reboots and battery percentage drops. Sometimes its at for example 80% and i don't use it its in my pocket and it just shuts down. Or it sais it has 30% 40% and i receive a call or sms and it gets to 1% and shuts down and when i turn it on it has again 30 40% or slowly gets to that percentage. I tried aokp, jellybam, rainbow rom (something like that) rootbox and tried dorimanx and siyah kernel. Now i went back to stock rom and krenel but the problems are still there. I attached a pic of my batt stats so pls if anyone knows what could be the problem please help.
Edit: i tried calibrating the battery with an app and manualy shutting down the phone charging the phone to 100% and remove the battery a few minutes but that didn't change a thing

Insane fuel gauge chip search for it...

Nice picture, where is that? the Alps?
Sorry for the late reply i had some other stuff going around. I tried resetting the fuel gauge chip with extweeks while on siyah kernel and that didn't change anything, i tried a few more roms and kernels but the problem remains. Now i am on resurection remix 4.0.4 rom with flexy kernel and i tried reseting the fuel gauge chip with xxtweeks and again nothing changed. I guess this is a problem with the phone becouse with different roms/kernels the problem is the samo. Lately its getting worse. The phone is on the table with 80% battery and i just hear the low battery sound and when i unlock it its on 12%, and than goes to 5% and lower and shuts down. After restart it has again around the normal 80% for example. Also one day i charged it to 100% and as soon i unpluged the charger it dropped to 0% and shut down. Could it be the battery or is something seriously wrong with the phone? Thx in advance

Could be the battery.
Just try another battery from which you know it is working in your phone, and then try your 'faulty' battery in a phone from which you know it is working. This way you will know at least if it is the phone or the battery.
Thanks for thr replay. I guess i‘ll just buy a new battery and see how that goes because i don't have a spare s2 and battery to try

Strange Battery Issue

I have Micromax Canvas hd purchased 1 month ago.I m facing a serious trouble which service center also cant solve(as i have tred visiting it).When I charge my mobile to100% and when it reaches to 30%,my battery drains too quick till 12% without having any apps open.After 12% I tried charging till 35% but it drains normal till 0%.I have updated android from service center,changed battery also.They say that motherboard needs to be replaced(they havnt understood the problem yet properly).Is it firmware problem?
in which some files are corrupted due to which it is showing wrong battery stats.Beacuse I get normal battery life.I can use it for 1 day after normal usage.
After 87% of charging it jumps to 100% in 2 minutes.But if i charge only till 87% then i dont face drain problem from 30% to 12%.
Is this a motherboard issue?
Exact problem with my device too.... Please some experts suggest solutions on this.. Battery calibration dies not work...

Try a battery calibration it should work if not then try installing a custom ROM this will definitely solve your problem but in case you don't want a custom Rom try installing Pure performance and if you don't want to try even this one then try downloading a battery indicator app which will show correct readings. Generally this is just a problem with the software you'll get the complete 100% output but only the numbers out there are different. so it should not be a big problem.
Hit thanks if i've helped.

i hav tried battery calibration through various apps e1 manually deleting batterystatsbin file but none helped.Installed stock rom 4.1.2(v0.16)coz many people dont have problm with it(i knw personally 2-3 people) still none working 4 me.I will try custom rom but what is "pure perfomance" i wana try it b4 installing new rom.
Hey it happens to me as well. Battery calibration I am yet to try. The real reason I wanted to reply here is I have had a bad experience with Pure Performance MOD. Its just a zip file flashable through CWM. What it does is it makes ur phone faster than ever, however battery drains equally as fast. Before you try it, I really really really really suggest a backup through CWM.

Sir but it means you're facing few problems which many don't , yes few of them complain of such problems but there are also many who've experienced dramatic increase in battery backup.
Source: My personal experience
Before i installed this ROM, For example in night by 10.00 pm if the battery % was around 70 by morning it would be around 64-63 but now it is 69 or max 68 and i also see changes in benchmark tests etc etc.
I recommend you reflashing the Rom and would recommend it to others.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Pure performance is a Rom developed to increase the overall response of your device.It also boost battery backup etc etc Search about it in XDA.
I also having the same issue...
1st when it happens drain battery to 0%
Then charge it to 100% plus some more time....
It works perfectly till again 0%....
At least it works for me nd my friend....

@G. Ashwin Kumar
I don't really bother about benchmark scores. As far as system response time being faster using PPX, I go for an alternative.
Settings-> Developer options-> Lower the window and transition animation scale to .5x [Currently running X flare v2]
This is why it did not work out for me bro...

WTF??i have tried it many a times..Can u provide step by step instructions bro??btw which app?
I have had a similar issue with my o3d which seems more like a hardware problem because a re-flash seems to do nothing to help the issue nor does battery calibration. I am stuck at an almost constant 0% though so my issue may be different i do have a thread in the o3d forum about this. (although i do recommend calibattery app if stuck for a battery gauge even though it is not completely accurate but better than nothing). If under warranty i would just try to get a replacement.

last time i rooted my phone there was not a asingle problem
now battery 1% die in every 5 seconds
i tried battery calibiration
used wakelock to find apps then greenify them still hardly 40 min till my 100% goes to 0% and its new phone and battery was working well before rooting
last time root had no rpooblems
this time i installed SQlite installer for root guess thats reason but i cant delete its really imp app for me
Battery stuck on 14% a long time.
@Rohit.
What I did:
1. Download "Battery calibration" from playstore. (Developer- Nema)
2. Drained battery till 1%..
3. Charged the phone to a 100%. [Received 2 calls for approx 10 mins in total, for which I had to unplug the charger.]
4. Once battery was 100% I FIRST UNPLUGGED the charger and then clicked Battery Calibration.
The last step here is not what the app suggests in the instructions, I only realized it after I clicked Battery Calibration.
I hope this works for you too brother.

[Q] cm 10.2 android 4.3 battery issue

Hi,
I have a weird battery issue. You can check attached screenshot.
My battery percentage suddenly decreases for example %45 to % 12. Then as soon as I plug in charger it comes for example %12 to %26. Completely unstable battery stats. Sometimes after charging %100 it doesn't decrease for a while. then I reboot phone and it suddenly decreases to %89 or something like that.
2 or 3 times a day device shuts off by itself.
I have cm 10.2 android 4.3 rom and I come from omega v46 android 4.2. (I had same issue on omega). I always perform full wipe before installing a new rom.
I tried factory reset, BBS, remove sd card, reinsert sim card etc.. but I could'nt solve the issue.
Finally I bought another battery but same issue still goes on.Maybe it's about an apk like CPU Adjuster which I previously installed on Omega rom.
Can anybody help?
I am having same battery issues, my battery discharges very fast when the data network is on, my phone doesn't last 5 hours when the data service is on.
PLEASE HELP

I think I was misunderstood. My problem is not battery drain. It's about unstable battery monitoring and device shutting off by itself. As seen on attached picture.
I thing the system app which is supposed to monitor my battery level and percentage is not working properly.

cm roms always have the issue of faster battery draining unlike stock ones. you say that you use better battery stats. then post the log here and someone could help you. (i got good battery by doing this: flashed boeffla kernel beta and put the governor to zzmove> yank extreme battery and installed easy battery saver and set to super power saving mode. the battery % didn't go down by at least 1% in my 7 hours of sleep and i was just amazed!) may/may not work for you.
:good:
I tried 3 different battery calibration APK, also tried "wipe battery stats" from recovery. None worked for me. Thank you.

Thanks for advices but I'm OK with my battery life. In my cm rom, battery life is better than stock ones. By the way Easy battery saver is really amazing, really saves battery. I used that before but it turns off everything in extreme mod, and I can't get what's up messages or my push mails etc. Anyway, as I said before my problem is not battery drain.
I installed "battery repair (doctor boost)" APK from market. It's a paid one. It seems to solve my problem. Everything looks ok since last night. If not, I will report again tomorrow.

Hi. I searched many forums, read hundreds of posts but still couldn't solve the problem (1st post) . I see many people suffering from same problem but no one has found an answer.
I'm sure that it's about one of zip files which I have flashed in my previous roms and I don't remember.
I'm sure because I had same issue in my previous omega v46 android 4.2 rom. Although I wiped everything and flashed cm 10.2 android 4.3 rom, the problem goes on. Even I bought a new battery but still the same problem. What causes this problem? It's really weird.
