Well, as the title says I have a Galaxy S II i9100 (Int'l Exynos Version) that thinks that it's charging even when its disconnected from the charger. It also heats up sometimes. When I connect it to the charger I never know if it's actually charging or not. the battery level indicator itself is problematic. For example, if it shows 90% battery level, when i reboot the phone it'll be at 70%.
Phone: GT-i9100 Exynos
Battery: Stock 3.7 V li-ion 6.11 Wh
OS: Android 4.2.2
Root: Yes
CM version: 10.1 Nightly (2013-04-23)
Kernel: 3.0.31 CM [email protected] #1
Thanks in advance!
Try dif nightly or clean usb port. Battery drop after reboot...dose it go Bk to right% after a while or drops and stays dropped?

Tried diff nightlies, no idea how to clean usb port(it connects to pc/probably charges, so i think the port's ok)
As far as the batt level goes, it sometimes begins to rise without charging
With 100% alcohol and ear bud. Be. Careful and make sure its powered off. Better still take battery out before you do it. If its rising after its ok. Reboot will cause battery to drop them go Bk up. Have you tried a different battery to see if yours is faulty?
Earbuds won't fit. Too big, port too small
Something sim would do. You get the idea
i cleaned it with a dry mini-brush thing, still problematic. Also, i found out that if i connect the charger without the battery inserted, phone shows charging animation.
Pass mate sorry
Happened to me to. I got a new USB port on ebay real cheap.

Easy to change.
flashed Samsung stock ROM(I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS2_I9100XEULS5_HOME.tar) now. No difference. Hoping it isnt a hardware issue because I'm out of warranty and probably will sell this later for something newer so trying to avoid spending much to repair this.

Hey,
My cellphone is shutting down\restarting (when I'm turning on the phone the battery is on 1-2 percents) by himself while I'm using WiFi more than 2-3 minutes (with no charger, while the charger is connected everything is okay).
the problem appear a week ago, I tried to get back to stock and tried to format and wipe my phone.
I don't remember what I've done before the problem started, I guess I tried to improve my battery life (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15804148#post15804148) which is not really normal and I changed something with the voltage.
I tried to install other roms but still have the problem.
any suggestion?
A wild guess is that phone doesnt read the battery stats correctly.
Power off phone and straight the battery contacts from the back of the phone and also clean them up with an alcohol swap, then go cwm and delete battery stats, reboot and leave it drain, then full charge and check from there.
Be sure not to have a battery hungry rom on it so you do a correct estimation if the problem is gone.
What rom are you using? If its GB then its a thing that we all deal with on it. When my phone gets below 30% and I get a call I can't hang up it just reboots everytime. When its plugged in its all good. My dev is working on it but I guess its a hard fix.
Simply Honey 4.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
@peecs121: if you follw the link he posted the problem still persist even on stock jfd samsung rom so is not a rom issue.
I tried few roms, like: honeybee, bionix and the stock version
Btw - I have 2 battery and both of them with the same problem (I don't know why and when but they got swollen from some reason)
If they are swollen they are scrap. You just found out where your problem is.
I think you got fake batteries.
They looks like original, anyway - i will try to change to my friend battery and ill get back with an answer

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode

wow it worked, the battery lasted from 5:30 to 7:10, a new record since I ever brought the device

How much screen on time did you get?
Hi, I know there are already many threads about it but I think I have a slightly different problem: while charging the phone is always active (as if he was doing something in the background) resulting in an extended charge time.
First thought: there must be an active process (developers opts-> show cpu usage) and ... nothing
Second thought: maybe "dmesg" can tell me something more and...
...well, that seems something

The "adc" value of the battery significantly increases when connected to the wall charger, so even if the "adc_chg" value is high it is compensated by the high drain of the battery.
Am i wrong? Has someone any idea about the cause of the problem or about how to find it ?
Thanks (going mad, yet changed battery, charger and multiple USB flex ports )
You do know that our phone never deep sleeps when it is plugged? There is a specific wakelock for charging, which will keep the freq to 200mhz. As for battery drainage, nothing much can be done because our phone's charging capability is not advanced compared to newer phones and hence it is easy to drain the phone battery even when plugged. Doing simple things like closing all unused apps, keeping the screen off, turning off Bluetooth or WiFi may make the phone charge a little faster.

I did know it, it was stated somewhere in the previous threads. What I forgot to mention is that, actually, I'm talking of an s2 with Greenify activated, no third party background process admitted except Telegram & Whatsapp services but charging in offline mode, screen always off. And still says it will take 2h 45m when charging starting from 65%, math can be done for when starting from 1%.
Time ago it only took about 1h 45m to charge completely, so it seems strange.

Hi all,
My father's Note 3 Pro stopped working yesterday. He left it while charging and in the morning the smartphone was dead.
It shortening the chargers/PC Usb ports- (found pic on google)

If I try to charge it the wire gets hot really fast, tried all different chargers/wires(only got high quality chargers/wires).
The charging port is clean.
I have taken off the back cover and all seemed OK- it never got wet!
If I disconnect the battery- still shortening
If i disconnect MB flat wire - not shortening.
SO the MB is fried?
If I can't fix it I will send it back to china to use the warranty.
Thanks in ahead!.
there's a high chance that it fried your motherboard. the cable gets hot because the positive potential of the cable meets the negative one, together they generate heat.
Yes, that what I thought. Now I am waiting to the store in china to reply me How/where to send this device, hope they gonna fix/replace it.
So no I can see how smartphones cause fire and burn damage, it's crazy that all good for almost 6 month and suddenly it can get hot and cause fire.

I was facing same issue.
I went to service center. They changed my charging port of device. Now everything is fine.
Slow charging issue.
I have changed cable but nothing happens.
It says charging rapidly but with turtle speed.

I have tried with my Samsung's phone charger (it is also 5V 2A), but charge rate remains same. Maybe my phone's battery going weak. But it's not even 2 year. It will in Nov.
And one thing more, actually it get fixed today after updating device. It charged at normal speed (an app showed 45% per hour), I usually don't use that app but I use it now to check charging status.
But now, it became again that slow. (App showing 12% per hour. 7hrs to full charge)

i don't think is a battery issue. also my battery is two years hold. i suggest you the original xiaomi cherger with a new cable. a more power charger is not compatible with mia3 tecnolgy. maybe the result can be a slow charging. are you on stock or custom rom? if you are on a costum rom probably is a software problem.

i'm agree with you
same problem here, but seem resolved with last update. I think it was a loading kernel module problem. the charger is good and the battery too. this is a kernel bug
