Since there is no question section, I'll put it here.
I bought a wave 1 battery yesterday, looks 100% same as the original samsung (it is from samsung yes).
Now I have this problem, when I charge the battery it doesn't charge, it keeps saying 11% (even after 2 hours of charging).
I tried the other battery (my old one) and charging worked.
What I tried:
Release energy from phone (press call end without battery)
Change charger (also tried the original samsung charger)
Checked settings if the rom limited battery capacity (limit is still on 100%, so it should charge)
btw, I am still on zendrokat v2 (tigrouzens rom).
Any suggestions before I send it back to the comany I bought it from?
Hum, try to boot on bada and see if it work.
If you haven't bada anymore, make a nandroid backup, flash bada and test, then restore the backup to get android back, you won't loose any data.

Okay, I have two batteries on my Vibrant. Both are official Samsung batteries bought at the same time. The one that came with the phone is dated August. The one that I bought separately is dated June.
Problem is, after using the August battery for a while, if I switch the June battery into the phone, it won't register a full charge properly. My external charger says it is fully charged, but when I put it into the phone, it immediately shows 88% charge. If I plug in the phone to charge with it in, it quickly jumps to 100% and says fully charged. But within seconds of unplugging the charger, it drops back to 88%. There's no way to get a full charge on it.
I have a feeling one of the two batteries has around 12% less capacity, probably the June battery. Very annoyed as it was bought with the phone at T-Mobile.
Anyone run into this and know if that's actually the case or if it might simply be a difference in needing to reset the phone's internal "battery meter", which I'm not sure how to do on the Vibrant?

Let the battery die. While turned off, charge it overnight or ~10 hours. Go into clockwork recovery and under advanced, choose wipe battery stats.
Hello. My Neo permanently shows 100% battery. The battery life is normal, 1 - to 1.5 days. Then goes from 100% to 0%. I will plug in the charger. Curiously, there is one loading up normally. First ... 2 ... 15 ... 45% etc. However, the load takes about 3 hours. 've Tried 2 different chargers, new Sony battery .... no success. If you remove the charger at 30% or 42% off, etc., the charging icon goes away, but the display will then count slowly up to 100% (without charger). Taking the battery out briefly and then sticks it back in, the display is at 50% or more or less and is also back to 100%.
Had sent to the neo to W- support. They were not supposed to understand the error and have it sent back to me.
Does anyone have an idea?

The phone is rooted. The 100% bug is present at all roms. I used AOKP MS6 long time, I tested Cyanogen, JJs Hybrid.... Now I have the stock rom 2.3.4. The phone has had no accident.
Wipe battery stats (there is option in CWM) and reboot. If it don't help then you can try repair option in PCC/SUS.
So i just played with Custom ROMs to find the best for me...
But from one point my Phone f*cked up the battery detecting...
CM9 and CM9 detect the battery at 45% and then he Level instantly just drop to 0%...
I cant even restart my phone, so i guess the battery really went out...
So how can i fix, that the ROM would not detect it 45% but 3-4% ?
And let me fully chage my phone ?
Stock rom Always Detect it 100% and then randonly the phone shut down in random times (cuz it drops the level to 0%)
I've tried the "Fully-Charge, Fully-Discharge" But the ROM still detect the Battery wrong...
Even tried to delete the battery stats...
Any solution, or idea ?
I currently use CM with the built-in CM9 kernel...
I think its battery problem.use a new battery.ur prblm will be solved

How old is the battery? What charging cable are you using and what is the cable plugged into?
If the battery is more then a year old it could be 'tired' and not holding a charge correctly (trying another known good battery in your phone will determine this, as will trying your battery in another phone, and if it works well you may have more issues to deal with). If you got the phone second hand, you have no way of knowing the battery's history. Repeated overcharging is also not recommended, as well as leaving the battery in very hot places as it can damage the onboard circuitry in the battery.
Cheap aftermarket (non OEM) USB cables are not that great imo, they are generally not as well made and soon get loose connections, resulting in poor connectivity (charging with a bad cable can also damage the battery). Always use the original cable or a good quality aftermarket one, like Belkin.
Charging the phone from a USB port on a PC or laptop (and/or via a USB hub) is not as efficient as charging it directly from a wall mains USB adapter, because the power often gets interrupted. Ideally for the best charge you should turn the phone off and use a wall/mains socket USB lead, so as give a direct, constant, power supply to charge a battery. A typical full charge is done in two hours. If you charge this way and the battery still has issues buy a new one.

First of all, the Phone is manufactured in 11W41 (2011 Week #41) and the battery in 11W39 (2011 Week #39)
I use a tipical Micro USB charger which does not connect to the wall with USB but the cable directly integrated into the adapter...
And the phone's shipped official cable to charge throught my PC...
The battery worked fine before i forgot to delete battery stats and flashed a ROM...
After that, all ROM is getting fake battery data...
After using my phone i noticed:
-When the phone displays 70-80% charge, the battery actually have 10-15%
-When the battery reach 0% the phone not just jumps to 0% but the Phone shut down within a half second (as no more energy)
-When i charge it to 3-4% the phone show 80% again...
-So i can charge it to about 10 or max 15% when the OS detect 100% and does not charge it further more, which prevent me from properly re-calibrate the battery stats, cuz 10-15 will be always the max charge of the battery...
Now i'm looking for some kind of Mod / App that fake the Battery level to the OS (for example lock it to 5% and the OS continue to charge the battery) i know its dangerious cuz if i'm not aware i'll overcharge it and it will die permanently, but i have no better idea ATM...
Update: Sometimes after my phone dies from no remaining electron in the battery It displays 5% charge when i switch it on while connected to a charger (the only way i can switch it on) And starts to increase.. (5-6-7-8 etc..)
But sometimes it instantly jumps up to 70-80% if i think right when the screen switches of..
So i enabled "No-screen-off-whili-on-charger" and letit charging..
Will notice you about the result...

try reflash stock.ics ftf should fix this
Already tried, the Stock rom always showed 100% charge, and when the battery ran out, just powered off...
(Jumped from 100 to 0 instantly)
As i mentioned, in the reply you quoted, today it started charging from 0...
It went good, but somewhy, it just stopped at 26% and not a single volt went into the Battery...
As i Pulled out the Cable, the indicator jumped to 100 instantly...
Can you link several stock ROMs ?
I've tried with the 4.0.4 Android
but maybe the 2.3 can still work with it...

but i think theres some HW damage. even if not rhe battery maybe some config chip is broken or whatever on the board. normally flashing a stock.ics.ftf resloves all software issues, as its resets all stuff to factory..
anyway, here u can find links to other android versions: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...y-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-and/td-p/154389

One solution still, that my frind has the same phone as me, so when i meet him, he can charge my battery to really full and maybe when i insert it to my phone it might work...
Ok so I have a galaxy s3 gt-i9300, which is about 20 months old, and it started to have this problem a month or so ago. The phone was running a kit Kat cyanogenmod rom, and it was draining the battery somewhat faster than the stock rom, and one day the screen started flickering at around 30% battery, which followed by the phone turning off itself. It can't be turned on until it's plugged in, and when I do so, the battery is at 0% charge, so I figured this was a battery problem and I replaced the battery for a new, original samsung battery. I thought this would make the trick. But I didn't, so my last thought was to return to stock software and this didn't solve the problem either. This always happens to me in every single charge at around 30%-40%. The rest of the charge lasts as long as expected, so the phone basically uses 60%-70% of a charge. I'm all ears for solutions to this and I also want to know what is causing it.
Try a battery from another phone, one that is known to be working correctly.
Else try a full wipe, including preload and internal sd, before you flash the latest stock rom for your country. Factory reset again in recovery after flash.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 that has some battery oddities, I suspect it's a hardware issue but would like a second (or maybe third, fourth, and fifth) opinion about it. The model number is:
SM-A5000
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2015), China/Hong Kong region variant
It used to be my dad's, and he's used it for a couple of years so the lithium cell may have aged. Initially he charged it to >80%, then powered it off and took it on a 12-hour flight. By the time he landed and tried to power it on, the battery was dead. Initially it was running stock 4.4.4 KitKat (Chinese ROM), I first tried to charge it through a PC USB port, and it charged very slowly as expected. The battery level would reach about 30-something and fluctuate. The charging port seems fine, no loose connections or anything.
I next used Samsung Smart Switch to update it to stock 6.0.1 (still mainland Chinese ROM), then connected it to a 2A wall adaptor. The battery would charge up to 82%, then fail to go any further. I noticed that the battery level would often decrease while on the charger, both when idle and locked, or even when powered off and charging.
After flashing TWRP, I did a factory reset and wiped the cache but it didn't seem to do anything for the battery. At one point, the percentage jumped from 82% to 100%, but after a few minutes idle at the home screen, it immediately dropped back from 100% to 80-something%.
At the same time, I was trying to figure out how to install the Google Play Services framework since it's not included in the mainland Chinese ROMs (Open Gapps wouldn't work) and eventually I decided to flash the stock Hong Kong version of 5.0.2, which had all the Google apps. This seemed to somewhat alleviate the battery drops a little, but it still won't charge past 82%. At this point, I replaced TWRP with Carliv Touch Recovery (since it seems to work better) and used it to clear the battery stats. This made CTR detect the battery as 100%, but the OS still won't go past 82%.
I then rooted it and killed off any bloatware and prevented a bunch of stuff from backgrounding or wakelocking, but the battery still seems to drop 1% every 2 minutes or so while idle (and connected to a 2A charger). The battery may also occasionally drop even when powered off and connected to the same charger.
So, does this sound like a dying battery, or could it be a problem with the ROM? I've flashed custom ROMs to it before but that didn't seem to do anything for the battery. The next step would be to fully drain and recharge a few times, but since it's an old device I'm not expecting any miracles. The battery is also non-removable so it won't be easy to replace. My dad's got a new phone already and has pretty much given me this one to experiment with, I don't plan on using it as a daily driver so it's not much of an issue if it's an unrecoverable hardware failure. Just wanted your opinions.
Thanks
tl;dr version:
- Galaxy A5 (2015) SM-A5000
- rooted 5.0.2
- Battery won't go past 82%
- Percentage drops while on charge, even when powered off
