[Q] Offline charging with AOSP Roms : Galaxy S3 I9305 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Empty battery with loading icon is shown when try to charge turned off device with AOSP roms (L-Droid, C-Rom). AOKPs are fine so far I have seen (tested with SOKP, Resurrection Remix). And with some roms, the battery is charged and with others, it does not (people claimed so).
Is there any permanent fix or workaround available for it? It becomes very hard when battery is drained completely and it must be charged offline.

Battery bug on the CyanogenMod for Android 2.3.7?

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.

Better charge it in switchoff mode for full charge....and also install powerMax app
Its useful to drag our battery long...

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

Samsung SIII (I9300) Battery Issue.

Im using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 build Jan 23 on my phone. Till recently (2 days specifically) my battery has started acting up. When i connect it to the wall charger it charges super slow. Also if I'm browsing or using the phone for an email or anything during charge the charge on the battery still drops. I also charged the phone using a blackberry charger same issue happens. The battery takes 6-8 hours to charge completely.
This also happened to me the first time i charged my phone when i got it. But it fixed itself after that.
It behaves the same when i switch off the phone and charge it.
Plz Help.
Samsung Galaxy S3 [I9300]
CyanogenMod 10.1
Sounds like a bad battery imo. You didn't turn down the charging rate in a custom kernel by anychance?
CM10 nightlies are still under DEV so you can expect a battery drain until stable versions comes out !!
Im using Stock Kernel on the device. No changes made to it or battery charge rate. Should I buy a new battery? Or can it be a hardware issue?
Like being said before CM10.1 is still in dev.
Try flashing back to stock and test.
Welcome to the baffled S3 charging issues thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727540
I'm pretty certain it's not a ROM or a kernel issue. The same is happening to me.
My suspicions lie in the actual charging port and/or the battery. I don't have a spare battery to test. But this happens no matter what rom I use. It tends to be fine after a fresh ROM install or a fresh wipe. But it goes back to 'acting up' after some time.
For example, I left it at around 4% last night only to wake up to it at around 33%. Where before, it would fully charge after around ~4 hours or even less.
Another symptom is that when on wifi/data (whilst plugged in) the phone still drains and even faster so when it is actually downloading something.. This isn't your typical battery drain.
NOT a rom/kernel issue as some would like to suggest (for a "quick thanks" maybe...? ) as this isn't your usual battery drain.

[Q] Galaxy S2 Sudden unusal battery drain/drop with screen flickering issues

Okay so , Yesterday night when i was using my phone it was on 15% and suddenly screen starts flickering like crazy and suddenly shut downs.
I try to charge it again but after reboot it stayed to 0% even after hours of charging so i rebooted it again and in Custom recovery (Apollo 5.1 regular) it shows 100% battery so i rebooted it again and removed the charging and after 10 minutes it started again dropping like crazy from 100% to 58% and constantly dropping until it switches off itself.
Now it's again on charging it and AGAIN it shows 0% charging and no matter how much time it'll be on charging it will be 0% and after a reboot it'll show 100% and this cycle continues .
It seems like it never shows original charged battery percentage.
1) I have already tried wide data factory reset and flashing the same ROM again still no help.
2) There is no software problem i could think of as phone is functioning fluid enough it's just battery issue.
3) It happened 11-12 months before also and the motherboard got dead suddenly and i have to get it replaced i wish if again it's not an hardware issue which come suddenly .
Rom- CM 10.1.3 (4.2.2) official last stable build
Current kernel- CM default
Meanwhile I'll be checking the phone by using Neat ROM and changing battery
THIS problem is very common to many galaxy s2 users and still there is METHOD or SOLUTION provided which is very surprising even after so many users with this problem.
Could any one help me , this is literally frustrating.
EDIT- Now the scene is ,even on NEATROM(Jellybean 4.1.2) it constantly start draining until 0% and shuts off itself ,like i do nothing while after pitting off from the charger when it shows 100% just like a progress bar it runs backward from 100% to 0% . DAMN , Help me.

Could be a faulty battery. Try changing to a new one
It sounds like the rom is the culprit. Try to calibrate the battery with the Battery Calibration app from playstore otherwise, install a different rom.

Galaxy A5: Dying Battery or Software Issue?

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

Can't calibrate the battery

I did calibrated my battery with the root method and the charge-discharge methods two times now, but still it charges from 0 to 100 in 40 minutes (which is not possible, it's not really 100%) the phone keeps charging according to accubattery and the battery tab in configuration
If I unplug right when it says 100% the batter drains hella fast (even if i dont use it)
The solution is keep the phone plugged until it says charged in rhe battery screen which takes an extra 40 minutes before reaching 100%
But how to fix this wrong information? Is driving me nuts
Probably the cable?
If I reboot the phone when it reaches 100% it drops to about 85%, and when it reaches 100% and reboot it again it drops but now to 90~ and so on for a few times
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using AOSIP btw, but this have happened in all roms
Heyyo, from what I was told for battery calibration the only proper way to do it is to run EUI ROM for about a week.
If you're inclined to try that to fix battery calibration? I'd recommend the versions by ChrisBalGreece. Debloated and already has good mods to make EUI ROM more enjoyable and less odd. :good:
After that? You can try a custom Oreo ROM again and battery should be properly calibrated.
Sometimes too with custom ROMs I've observed that the Quick Charge 3.0 isn't as accurate as it should be and can even stop charging if it thinks the battery temperature is too high... Unfortunately without updated kernel source code from LeEco it's something we cannot 100% solve so I'd recommend trying to charge with a 5V 2Amp charging block and see what happens as well.
ThE_MarD any eui 5.8 rom will work? i have flashed your 30s firmware of your lineageos thread will it work with that or i have to change firmware?
i have the original charger and cable
Well, I used to have that annoying problem, I made a research to find a solution, and something worked for me, Now my battery is perfectly calibrated. Well, I don't know if it would work for anyone else, but, you don't lose nothing trying right?
The first thing I did was install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager , and Configured the "saver mode" to low frequency of processor and activated it. Then I installed this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.batterychargelimit and activated the limit to 95% for high level and 90% to low level of battery charging, and after a couple of times charging and discharging my battery with that method now my battery magically calibrated itself, and now I can install any Oreo ROM with no problem, of course it is not necessary to use that saver mode all the time, but works really good. I have to say that now I am using "personalized resurrection remix" and it works fast as hell with the most complete tools for personalizing the phone (the best one for me), and it has an extreme good performance for gaming, of course not the best for battery, but there you can use and configure the saver profile of the app I mentioned, and you will have the best ROM available now. (Tryed a lot of them).
Thanks for reading. (Don't forget to install magisk for root, without that, nothing will happen)
