hello everyone!, i have a serious battery problems:
1. battery charging takes min 8 hrs!!
2. battery Discharges very very fast
i changed battery and charger and it still the same...
BUT notice that when the phone is off - charging takes 1-2 hrs
i dont know what its the problem, can someone help? thanks.
Have the same flash boeffla kernel and increase the charging of your charger and your battery will load very fast
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V36 )
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
1-2 hours is normal for a charge, actually its very decent. Run full charges only. Charge ONLY when battery is less than 20% and charge continuously till 100%. Check you battery usage. If you have bluetooth, wifi, 3g and whatnot on all the time your battery life will be bad and will take longer to charge.
Search the web there are many more specific solutions.
Specify if you are on stock rom and kernel.
Edit: I would NOT increase charging current. It will decrease your battery life in long run.

Tell what firmware you are using and install better battery stats and leave it 4-5 hours on standby..see what is draining your battery post screen shots in BBS threads.. And someone would definitely help you...

hi guys,
i have s3 4.3 stock rom and kernel,
i saw in battery usage that the screen is 90% .....does it normally?!??!?
it seems like the screen is draining my battery, what can i do??
Lower screen brightness If you are gaming then there is hardly any solution for that. As the post before says, install better battery stats so we can help you further. Also sometimes other things draining battery may come under one name such as 'screen'. Its not new.

Hello guys, I know the CyanogenMod for Galaxy Ace doesn't is official, but, works good, I recommend, but... I'm stay with a very boring problem, on the batery. My percentage it seems that is not synchronized, and the battery ends fast, but have one the problem. Suppose my battery is in use by 90% and a short time and then drops to 80% and is a long way, and then falls back again, but when he gets 20%, it is to leave an hour or two between 20 % and 10%.
Someone else goes through this?
I was installed my Cyano by this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
First the battery indicator sucks on Ace, on stock roms it too don't work very well. Second, have you try to calibrate you battery?
Well... I have phone on saturday... Ah! I'm not have the stock.
How I can calibrate my battery?

i had similiar problem. cm 7, battery drop from 100% to 90 % in few seconds of use. And 20 % last sooooo long. oh and i forget to mention that i have calibrated battery so it didn t help. on stock rom i didn t notice this problem. ok, it can suck either, however it isnt as bad as it was on cm7.
Are you waiting when you battery is charged to 100% or disconnect it from charger? I must wait some time when battery is 100% charged (let you phone on charger), I think on lookscreen you will get an information that you battery is full. Second are you using CM 7.1 or CM 7.2? I fell CM 7.2 is pretty bater in battery saving then CM 7.1. Using now CM 7.2 form Axel RC1.
I've calibred my phone, but doesn't effects. CyanogenMod 7.2? How can I install this version of Android 2.3.4 ~ 2.3.7 on my Galaxy Ace? I'm using the Cyano 7.1 RC1 Cooper KANG with kernel Ketut.
I can find it in "Development section"
Thanks, but I've installed. I'm recharging my phone, too late I'm gonna back to here and comment about this mod, anyway, this ROM are perfect. I had 90MB free, now I had 110MB free, it's fantastic.

Yeah, about that. I myself have noticed a little bug with that too. It sometimes say 100% charged without it being charged. Don't know if its the faulty meter or the actual battery. Either way, I let it charge for a while after it says that and it works.

I am partially agree with gradonnn here. Please everyone read my this observation carefully. I observed it on 3 Galaxy ace (all non-rooted with stock ROM, 2.3.4) (One was mine and other 2 are friends' phones, all 3 of us observed the same.)
With the stock ROM I installed battery percentage indicator and charging from 20% to 100% on widget indicator showed in about ~90 minutes of charging. & everytime, It showed 100% I disconnected assuming my mobile was fully charged. But then It started to drain after some use and stopped at some particular point say 83 or 78 percentage. First I thought my battery was bad, so I got replaced from samsung service centre. But again, second battery was doing the same.
Then, I googled about it and came to know a good battery of SGA (or any other smartphone) takes nearly 3 hours to charge from very low (say 5%) to full (100%). Now, when charging on the stock ROM showed 100% (in notification bar from Battery Indicator Pro & Battery Percentage Widget on main screen) the mobile was still charging and almost after 1 hour notification used to come with notification sound that "Battery is 100% charged!". I observed same thing with 2 other ace of friends. "THAT" notification was final to consider that mobile was 100% charged and after disconnecting, it didn't drain faster in any indicator.
I am also using CyanogenMod and the problem with this ROM is, the last notification of status bar doesn't come even after nearly 4 hours of charge! (believe or not, but I did wait for that notification sound many times!). & Just 90 minutes of charge the indicator starts showing 100% same as stock ROM did. From last 2 days, I charged exactly 1 hour more after it showed 100% and believe me, after disconnecting your charger battery won't drain fast.
Now, if you're asking whether I have used calibration tools, yes I did with above observations already. & I used Juice Defender, display brightness at the most min level setting offers, GSM line only, Wi-Fi was on hardly 1 hour in 1 day, and ~40 mins of gaming. With these settings/use and stock ROM my battery was down to 50% max at the end of day.. BUT, with CyanogenMod, it gets down to ~20% at 7PM in evening. I believe CM eats more battery, but observing the speed & facilities it gives, it is the best custom ROM for me.

That is because the notification is not a feature of cyanogenmod, but is of Samsung.
Battery percentage is inaccurate in the Ace. Charge your phone on a stock rom and when it reaches 100% the notification won't come either. It'll have to continue charging for another half hour or so then the notification comes.
So same thing with cyanogenmod, charge longer even if it shows 100%.

That's what I said in the first place.. (Plz read my post again )
On the stock ROM, even if after 100% battery indication, I had to charge ~1 more hour until the notification came. My CM 7.1 did never notify me even after 4 hours of charge.. (which is more than 1 hour longer than stock ROM) That's what I said too.
BTW, Does your (or here anyone's) CyanogenMod give out notification of 100% battery charge?
Hey guys, i fell that resolve, but, i'm testing. If resolves, too late I share.
"This is by design. Your phone will slow down and eventually stop pulling charge at or slightly greater than ~95% regardless of what your battery indicator says. This is to extend the overall life of the battery, as constant 100% to 0% charge/discharge cycles will cause it to fail prematurely." from Nexus S FAQ thread

Hi All,
i am using a non rooted SGS2 in india. its running on the latest android firmware 2.3.6 (waiting for ICS.. )
the problem i am facing is that from past few days i see my battery drains very very quickly.. even if there is nothing running in background. i am using juice defender ultimate.. i guess its not helping either..
also it takes like forever to charge up.. i mean i plug my phone for charging at 17% after 2 hours it just reached to 21%..
at times while charging it through the USB.. it seems to be discharging.. it was at 37% after some time its reduced to 29%..
Also my phone heats up a lot for unnecessary reasons..
has any one faced this issue? please help...

first of all what programs run in background of your device?
second, what battery you use ? (1650 mAh 2000 mAh)
have you looked at your battery if the battery is working 100% or if the battery is damaged?
what rom is running on your device, which kernel do you use?
Could happen from rom. Here in germany the official 2.3.6 update was cancelled because of problems containing battery drain und reboots. Perhaps same stock rom problems in development.

i think your battery is gone. Maybe try charging it with the phone off or something. and if it it goes to 100% u can try download the battery calibration app on market to calibrate it properly. I would try everything i can before sending it back to samsung.
sounds like hardware problem mate, the phone should warm up when plugged but it shouldn't be above 35°C or so, and the slow charge problem could be related
if you can get another battery to test it out, or just buy a new one
good luck
You could try to reset your battery stats before going out buying a new battery.
thanks guys for your suggestions..
i uninstalled some of the crappy apps that i never used.. & voila my phone is back to normal .. less heat up.. battery lasts for 1 day.. hope it stays that way..
waiting for ICS..
@jeroensk - how can reset my battery stats..?
Clear battery stats boot to cwm recovery >> advanced wipe battery stats
But you will need a cwm and rooted phone ..
As battery stats do not need wiping dont worry about it battery automatically calibrates itself .
Some muppets think wiping battery stats actual does something . |It does not play any part in charging the battery or battery life on SGS2 .

Hello.
I bought a used white S3 I9300 a few days ago and I have some questions about it.
First, the battery. It lasts about a day with regular use and I get about 3.5 hrs of screen time (using internet with 3g mostly, sometimes wifi. Using camera, a few different apps, UI browsing and a few other things. Brightness 60-100, power saving on about 50% of time). Is this good battery life or should I invest in a new battery?
Second, when I have the phone charging and I use it at the same time, it drains the battery slowly. Can't complain about charging time though, from 5-15% to 100% it takes about 3-4 hrs.
Third,can someone reccomend a good rom for it? Something that has good performance, features and battery life?
Thank you!
If your Phone is already on Sammy 4.3 I would recommend you to switch to any AOSP Rom.
Temasek´s CM11 or PAC-Rom are pretty well featured.

Battery Life completly depends on your usage ..........But the kind of Stats that u have specified it looks pretty much normal so you dont need to buy a new battery
Charging time that you have specified is a bit of my concern as using the official charger battery shoudnt drain while charging and using the phone(Unless ur playing heavy games simulaneously). Check if you have recieved an official charger.
Official S3 charger will charge your phone is Approx 3 hrs from 0(Obviously while ur not using it at d same tym). There are other 2A chargers available which will charge it much faster if you need (Read Pros n Cons)
ROMS ......well i Archidroid and REvolutionary S5 are the best Sammy Roms out there(personal opinion)

My phone came with original charger and cable. I am running stock 4.1.2.
I figured out the charging issue. I noticed that if I plugged in the charger it was showing charging AC with 1000mA. Once I moved the usb cable even slightly, it switched to usb charging and 400mA. Turns out there was a big piece of dirt stuck in the usb port. I pulled it out with a pair of tweezers and its all good now.
Hii everyone
I've got some really weird Battery Issues on different Lollipop Roms (CM12, ResurrectionRemix 5.3.5-5.3.7, Beanstalk and SlimLP).
The problem is, as soon as i restart the phone the battery percentage drops from 50% to 13% for no reason.
If i charge the phone later suddendly the loose percentage are back, but the phone consumption more "battery" so it's sooner at 0% as normal.
Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)

I've had these problems when I first bought my phone used off eBay. Phone battery was very erratic. After a reboot battery would be less than half or nearly 0 even with 80%+ battery. Or would shut down with 5% left. Or drain battery a lot quicker than normal.
Soon as I bought a new battery my problems vanished. My battery would stay solid no matter how many times I flashed a new ROM or rebooted. BUT after 3 months these drops have started to happen again with reboots. Not always like before, but they're happening.
I think it's down to battery conditioning. The way you charge and discharge your battery. There are set ways to charge a phone to maintain battery health.
How does your battery react without rebooting from a full change to shut down? You shouldn't need to reboot a phone with a good stable ROM once you've set it up the way you like it. Also calibrating you battery or wiping your fuel gauge meter to often isn't good practice as android and your phone will do calibrating itself after some time and needs the information that these starts provide.
Battery jumps seem to happen with a lot of S2 users. Maybe a flaw in the design of phone. But good battery practices are important, things like not leaving your phone charging overnight. Batteries don't like being left on charge when they are full. There's more info out there on XDA that I can't remember myself as I am guilty of bad battery practices as I use my phone all the time and don't have time to full charge cycle.
Yes same problem
Battery drains really fast when restarting
Any fix for this?
I am hiving battery problems too. Battery is dropping % like it leaking or sth. Last time my phone rebooted due to full ram and it dropped from 50% to 12%. I left it like that. After some time battery re-charged itself from 12 to 23 % ! Phone was lying on the sofa without connected charger ! Should i clen fuel guage chip or my battery is EOL ?

you have to reboot for example if you install xposed and new modules i've calibrated the battery just 3 times i think this isnt too much?

Forgot to say, if you want to avoid battery drops when rebooting make sure you plug your phone into charge before rebooting. Thus should stop battery dropping afterwards.

The battery often drops when the phone hangs at work and reboot from itself so i have no chance to plug it in.
I have same problem, battery drain too fast & after reboot same time battery level is "falling" at one moment twice. At first, I think it's a battery problem, but battery work fine at CM12 mod, and have problem at SLIMLP 5.1.1 mod. When battery "falling" it's not heating, which means no real discharge.

And also explain me why its happening.... should I have to change my battery or something else can be done without doing this. ):
seems like you need to replace battery..
Check battery health in Accubattery. 15-20 sessions for a reliable estimate in case of partial charging sessions and less in case of near complete ones. If rooted the battery capacity can be checked from the built-in kernel profile.
