After I installed beans14 my phone was charging extremely slow, and by slow I mean I left it on the charger when I went to bed and woke up five hours later I had only gained about 50% charge. That was about a week ago and my phone hasn't started charging normally again. And now it's to the point of discharging even while it's on the charger. When I check gsam it shows the OS as one of the biggest draws on the battery. Also the gallery is usually 5% of the draw as well even though I never use it since I have quick pic. Here is a screen shot of what gsam shows Atm. And I am now on the t-mobile tweaked Verizon rom

Reflash? That's an odd issue buddy

I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?
try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

I've never used CWM. Have you tried using it again?
I have noticed another "quirk", it seems that when my phone is sleeping for a long period of time, more than an hour, it will usually display more percentage than when I set it down. For instance I decided not to charge it last night as I was hoping it would die in the night however when I got up this morning it read 51% whereas it was at 26% when I left it. I am starting to think that there is something wrong with the hardware. Opinions?

I didn't nitice this till last Tuesday. I forgot to charge my note the night before, and when I woke up I had 19% left. Around 10am I received a notification that my battery is critically low. I wasn't going home till 12, and I was texting heavily for 2 hours through whatsapp on 4g network, and nothing, the phone didn't turn off. I got home and plugged it in while it was still on. The only thing the phone did was turn down the brightness completely, im not sure if that 's the reason for the extra 2 hours, but that seems too much. Before i plugged in the phone it had 23 hours on battery with 4 hours 44 mins screen on time.

Has anybody experienced any of these issues on a stock note? Also, I tend to agree, if Samsung had really figured out a way to make the end of the battery last that long we probably wouldn't be having this issue.

I exchanged my Note for a replacement at the store and that has made a world of difference. It would seem that my suspensions about my hardware were correct. If you are having the same issues I recommend a replacement.
Thanks!
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

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.
Why do I read about people claiming this phone charges fast? It takes forever.... My phone went completely dead last night has been on the wall charger for over an hour and is at 35%..... Am I missing something? My previous phone the optimus l9 charged way faster and before that my lg motion fully charged in under an hour.... Whats the deal?
Why are you letting it go completely dead? That is super hard on Lion battery packs.
Also what ROM are you running?

Assuming you are running a custom rom/kernel, make sure 'fast charge' is enabled. It makes a difference.

Didn't mean to let it completely die just forgot to put it on charge. Its not just from being dead though, even if its down to 50% its takes a long time to get to 100..... Im running slimbean with halo, will try turning on fast charge.
edit... guess it doesn't matter phone charged to maybe 40% before I left for work and it died again at work. This time it wont seem to charge back up or try to turn on.. Tried 3 chargers.... Guess I'll leave it on one and see what happens.... =-(
Its never taken me more than a hour to charge this phone

My phone eventually powered back up. Last night the battery was down around 27% percent. I put it on charge and watched an hour and 1/2 long movie and had some dinner. Went back to phone to see it around 70%. I did enable fast charge this time.
