Hey guys,
I have been running the 4.3 for a few weeks now and I always charge my tablet when it goes under 10%. I charge right before I go to bed so that when I wake up it is at 100%. I woke up at 3AM just to realise that the LED was still red and battery icon showed it was plugged in but 5 hours later I was still at 12% and not going up. I rebooted the tablet but it didn't help, turned it off and tried charging it while not in sleep mode. The green battery icon comes up indicate charge but 1 hour later after booting it to check progress, it was still 12%.
I found this blog on the Sony site
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...red-LED-on-near-power-button-Will/td-p/448851
People are saying it has been happening since the 4.3 upgrade, is it a 4.3 bug and is the reason they are now pushing out the new 101 build which states battery improvement.
Anyone else experienced this issue? ...I'm sure my tablet isn't defective from a hardware perspective.
The tablet is rooted if it makes a difference.

Hello everyone!
Firstly I am totally happy with my new Galaxy S2. But then happened something strange....
Yesterday evening I plugged in my phone and loaded it fully, I played a few games for about 1 1/2 hours and the battery was fully loaded, then I turned off my phone (and it seems that it made an full shutdown, because it turns the lights off and vibrates when it shutdown successfully).
Today in the morning I wanted to turn on my phone... nothing happened After a few tries to turn it on... I plugged it in... and see there... it loads... from 0%??!
How is this possible if the phone was shutdown all the time?!
I have original rom, nothing modified yet and there are no updates available for my phone.
How is this possible if the phone was shutdown all the time?!
No answer to that if it was a charged and shut off .

What do you mean by that? You were playing for 1½ hours and the battery was fully loaded !, or you kept it charging while playing
Regards.

I kept it charging while I was playing (it already was fully loaded at this moment) and later I turned my phone off with 100% battery. XD
In the morning it was not possible to turn it on, so I plugged it in again and it shows the loading screen with an totally empty battery and an yellow triangle. I really don't understand how this is possible..
Yellow Triangle? You are rooted right? And what other apps were you running when you turned your phone off, SetCPU or something like that?
No, I am not rooted not yet ^^
I think the yellow triangle appear when you plug in your galaxy S II and battery is lower than 5%. (When plugged in turned off)
Is it possible that gaming consumes much more energy even if plugged in? It's the only explanation for me at the moment. But this will also mean that the display of the battery don't update if fully charged and kept plugged in... mhmm.

Sorry I don't know about that. I thought Yellow triangle only appears when you are on an unsecured kernel/non official Samsung kernel, when rooted.
And while you were Gaming with charging, definitely Gaming took more battery out of your phone than the charging was filling in. But still, full drainage of 100% battery overnight is NOT normal, that's all I can say atm.
Regards.
This particular problem just happened to me. The yellow triangle in question (no photo for obvious reasons), is overlayed on top of the charging logo that appears when the phone is completely powered off.
I hoped it was my battery...not the case, like others, I believe the problem to be originating from a loose micro-usb connector. I slightly jiggled the usb side to side (very slightly) and the problem cleared up long enough to boot. It has returned and I am most displeased as I ordered from Expansys Canada and with a device I can't turn on and return to stock I am basically SOL.
Ugh, and I was hyping you guys up so much Samsung!
Your battery overheated and could not charge. When I play games and charge at the same time, the battery gets hot and I get an overheating notice. This is when you get the yellow triangle. It doesn't charge after that and I find that I have to remove the battery to get it to somehow "reset" the internal temperature sensor before it will charge again.
*kick* (since topic title fits my problem..)
So: battery nearly flat after reboot. Happened to me three times now, twice within one 'battery cycle'. First time it happened, the standard digital clock didn't refresh, so I restarted the phone. Before restart, battery was above 30%, after restart it was around 10. Afterwards, the level started climbing back towards 23 (hence, without me charging the device). Used it, so did not verify whether it would actually climb all the way back to its original level of over 30%, but the level seemed accurate because it lasted for many more hours until it reached 15%.
Last night, after a restart, batt dropped from high-20's to 8%. Because of the previous experience, I didn't charge, but let it be during the night. This morning, 8 hours later, batt level was back at 26%.. the battery graph showed a nice upward curve.
Couple of hours later, phone doesn't wake up and has switched off apparently. Startup reveals batt to be below 10% again.
Anyone experienced a similar scenario?
(Vodafone branded non-rooted GSII, PDA:KG2/Phone:KG1/CSC:KE2).
This has happened a couple of times more since then, I guess 6 times in total now. Have made screenshots of the battery level to provide an idea of what's happening, or at least, what it looks like. However, I can't post outside links yet.
Without recharging, battery level manages to climb back almost to initial level.
No-one with similar experiences? I have done no rooting, custom ROM's whatsoever.
(Vodafone branded GSII, PDA:KG2/Phone:KG1/CSC:KE2).
I was web browsing and suddenly the phone rebooted, and the battery charge dropped to the level seen in the screenshot. It's the first time happening. I'm on cm7 latest nightly with cg6.

Hey Guys and Gals
This morning my phone was completely drained so i plugged it into the wall plug to charge up. However it did not turn on and begin charging until i did a battery pull.
When it began charging, there was the little yellow triangle (normally there when my device has been drained). A couple of minutes after, the battery began charging BUT it was nearly full
So i switched on the device, went to Applications>Settings>About Phone>Status
There the battery read 96% and charging from AC. When i unplugged it, the numbers began literally jumping backwards and the phone died within two minutes.
I tried charging again and had to do a battery pull again. For good measure, i did a factory reset but the issue was there still, only, when it is plugged in, the battery slowly DECREASES :S maybe like 1% every 2 minutes.
Can someone please help me and let me know if it is a battery issue or a phone hardware issue itself?
Im running Gingerbread btw (downgraded from ICS about 3 weeks now because it sucked....and i missed GB lol)

Easiest way to check is to use another battery in your phone and/or to test your battery in another phone.
So you only need to find someone with a compatible phone/battery.
Or go to a store and ask for help.
Good luck !
Or use a volt meter to test if your battery is dead ie <3.7, the s 2 tends to exaggerate the value more often than shrink the percentage of battery, but your case is a bit extreme, it might have to do from going from ics to gb, don't take my word but apparently its bad to downgrade from ics to gb
Hello, I've started having some weird battery issues with my HTC One X+, wonder if anybody else has seen this before. I've attached a screenshot of the battery graph for my phone, so you can see what I've been encountering.
It all started two days ago, when my phone charged down and shut off, despite being idle and connected to my laptop for USB charging the whole time. Since then, I've been seeing all kinds of wacky behavior with the battery stats. The status has been stuck on "11M 19S ON BATTERY" for the last three days. It discharges really fast even when idle, which it wasn't doing before. Last night, the battery chart shows the phone either being awake or with the screen on, but it is wrong: the phone was turned off.
I turned it off almost all of today, turning it on maybe 2-3 times just to check the charge and then immediately turning it off, and connected it to AC charging the whole time, but the battery charge seems to go up and down during that period! At this point, my battery stats seem completely corrupted, except for the fact that the phone does shut itself off when the charge goes to zero, so the total charge may be correct.
I'm not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, as I seem to be getting strange data from the software. I looked at many of the battery threads in this forum: they say to charge the phone to green and discharge a couple times, but I cannot get it to go to green again, even with the phone turned off and AC charging! I should still be covered by the 1-year manufacturer warranty: do I need to send it in for repair or this is some known software issue that I can fix myself? I'm running stock unrooted Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 on the international unlocked HOX+.

I thought I'd update with the latest. After a couple days of freaky battery behavior, I was finally able to get the HOX+ fully charged again, after which the problems went away, still no idea what caused it in the first place. I wanted to make sure it really went away before posting: it hasn't recurred in the weeks since.
I fell asleep last night with a podcast playing on my HOX+ at the lowest volume setting and held next to my ear, woke up this morning with only 50% battery used after 12 hours of almost continuous mp3 playback. I've always been impressed with how little battery this device uses while playing mp3s, still going strong. :victory:
Sigh, spoke too soon, it's constantly discharging again, no rhyme or reason why, and the charger can't keep up. The weirdest part as always is that it can't even recharge while turned off, implying there's a short circuit or something else wrong with the hardware. I'll see if I can get it to charge eventually, may have to turn it over to HTC this time.
Guys. Is anyone realise something wrong with 4.3 Jellybean (batter indicator)?
I dont what its calling this problem. Just let me explain. B4 upgrade to 4.3 Jellybean on yesterday (see today date), I was on 4.2 Jellybean. I got notice my battery indicator showing 59% left. After updated to 4.3 Jellybean, its showing 19% left.
I tought battery drain because of updating the sofware. After 2 hours, the indicator still showing 19% with wifi running without stamina mode (i used whatapss n weChat too). Im impressed with this big changes.
I get back home 1hours later, put on dock charger. Then its showing 29% after 3min charging. W#F ??
I shutdown my phone left over on charging. 1 hour later when get backc the indicator showing the battery has not fully charge. I boot up my phone and seeing the battery indicator is 100%.

Not so good for the battery, but let it completely drain, until it shuts down on its own.
Connect to charger and let it charge for good 4 hours.
Turn on device. Should be good.
It happened to me before. This solved it.

Thx 4 feedbck. I will try this.
It's perfectly normal. The 4.2.2 system reads the battery state to be at 59%. Moving to a different base (4.3), the system has no idea what level the battery is at, so it more or less guesses (which might be the reason why it was "stuck" at 19%). This will get "fixed" once you charge it again though, and this happens quite often when we flash custom ROMs.
Did same falling from 73% to 29% but now back up to 51% after a bit of charging so all well so far.

Ya I too faced same thing. I was at 68% but after updating 4.3 it went down to 31%.After then charged it to 100% for 3 hours and now it seems fine.
So lately my 1.5 year old Galaxy Alpha running Lollipop (never rooted or modded) started having poor battery life. It used to shut off at 1% battery life. But started to die at even 15% recently. Now this past weekend I was on vacation and a few times the phone died at approx 35% and wouldn't turn back on without a charge first. And when it did come back on the time and date were very!! far off although I was in air plane mode but still seemed odd. A few days later I had it plugged in over night as I always do and saw that the phone was very hot in the morning in my hand. I unlocked it and a notification was up. Cant remember word for word but something along the lines of "battery too hot to charge". It would not charge, I've tried to pulled the battery and reinsert it etc. The odd time it will show on the screen that it is charging but it is stops very quickly. Is this normal for a 1.5 year old battery? Will a new battery solve this problem? I've had no issues with the charging port on this phone. The only problem I've had with this phone is the fingerprint scanner but I've opted to just not use it.
Basically I am hoping someone else has had similar symptons. I hope its not hardware and hoping its as simple as a new battery. But hate to order one and wait a week to find it hasn't helped. Thanks so much for reading this and hope to hear from you guys!

I've had mine since it was released and have never had a heating problem, even with the original battery.
