Ok, I know my phone has battery-releated issues though im trying to figure what is the source and replacing it immediately.
I'll list couple of my chekcs around it:
Having it on charging barely gives the charger the "current heat" its supposed to have with it charging, therefore - resulting in a slow paced charging.
Disconnecting it from the charging port drops the battery down to 10-50% in some times, 60-80% the other times, but there are times that it's going down just to 99% or even keeping it at 100% like it should be.
Ive checked with the charging current app and I've seen it around 200-300, and after disconnecting and reconnecting it couple of times went to around 700-800, probably the reason for the slow charge.
Now my main problem is actually the 2nd one, I dont mind if my charging speed is slow, but I want it to deliver. are those battery drops related to the charging current? my main suspictions are the trickle charge cycle, that if the charger gets 200-300 mah charge, and it calls for a trickle charge, the amounts for it arent enough to keep the phone up even at minimal use, and report a fake 100%.
I havn't tried a different cable yet since I dont own any (same for charger) but if I will get any new cable, is there any rule I should follow to know the quality of it? like slimmer/fatter ones as an example?
And how do I know its not the battery that reached its cycle cap?
Thanks in regard for anyone who contributes to this post.

Search and read, same question asked a thousand times. Replace charger, lead and battery -done.
I have already searched for it for couple of threads. I have seen that it's a procedural solution but the main thing I'm trying to eliminate from the checklist is a bad charging port and board. Since my cousin already had that problem and he sold his phone it gave me that sort of red light and I haven't come across of a way of diagnosing it "without a cost" for the parts, I'd buy the pays only if there's no possible solution to diagnose it because those parts are quite expensive here unfortunately :/
how about battery calibration?
try that, and maybe your problem because u playing with tweaks or kernel maybe?
also try, install new custom roms. and format your system data
maybe it'll works

No that is only done by the battery read faqs and guides please .

I think its battery issue, cant say for sure, but it also dies up on around 30% now (changed to 4.3)
I own the phone since april this year, and a friend of mine told me she had similar issues and after replacing the battery, it worked out flawlessly.
Also note that my phone is plugged in the charger for a lot of time and I barely plug it off (might be an issue as well)
Okay so I've switched the cable and the app shows flawless 1amp charge.
question regarding it:
if the phone is charging flawlessly like this. Could it eliminate my flickering screen and phone hang issue? (Due to "bad charging quality" if that lesser cable? )
Bought this tablet yesterday after finding it for a €50 discount and reading some reviews. The reviews warned that the charger is a but underpowered, and they weren't kidding, after 15 minutes of being plugged it I've only seen it go up 3-4%. Worse yet, if I try to actively use the device (just some browsing, nothing intensive), the charger can't keep up at all and the battery charge starts dropping again, slowly.
I'm quite happy with this tablet, it's got a nice feature set, good performance, decent price; I don't want to return it. But not being able to use the device when the charge gets low is a bit of a deal breaker. So I'm left wondering.. is there a way to charge it quicker? Would a 3rd party charger with higher amp output work? Or doesn't it work that way?
be sure being charging with original charger and usb cable
I was having same issue during the first month with this device, i was charging it with another usb cable (much longer) else than the OEM one, My device took 10 to 12 hours to do a full charge, very annoying thing. After some thinking and asking other ppl about this issue, tried to charge xtz with the charger and usb cable included in the Box and voila, not only the charging time has reduced to no more than 3 hours, right now i can use the Tablet without no intensive power requierements (wifi browsing with minimun screen intensity) and can see how the charging state increase during use... Hope this can help u.
Thanks for the reply! Sadly I'm currently already using the standard USB cable and charger that came with it, but maybe my cable is just fault or something. As far as charging rate goes, 3 hours sounds like what I'm getting, so maybe my expectations are a bit high in that regard. On the other hand it seems like I should be able to at least use the device when it's plugged into the charger without running out of battery charge (even if much slower). Almost seems like it's just being drained abnormally fast, but according to the battery usage thing, ~90% is used by my display which I guess is normal
Hey all.
I've seen a few posts with this topic but none seem to completely match the symptoms I've been having;
I've got a samsung S3 i9300, stock ROM and unrooted with a serious charging issue. Seems no matter what I do the phone won't charge. I've tried:
Mains Charging
USB Charging (through PC)
Wireless Charging
Changed three different batteries
Used the galaxy charging app to make sure it's getting the 999 it needs on mains
Begged the Gods to charge it.
On everything it will state the phone is charging but never go above 3 or 4% regardless if it's on or off.
I've watched the battery graph nosedive whilst it's off charging, putting it on charge only flattens it a bit.
I'm just curious as to how I go about fixing this; is this some sort of software glitch? Have I been cursed? Do I need to perform some sort of battery exorcism?!
My thanks for any and all replies.
sounds more like a hardware issue ,have you tried with other battery(new ones) ,how old is your phone ?
Try factory reset, followed by stock firmware flash with Odin if that doesn't help.
If still the same then probably hardware, charging circuit failed. A work around would be two batteries and external charging cradle.
I've tried a factory reset. It seemed happy to charge on mains again but got up to only 45%, and levelled off; it refused to charge more (I left it for an hour) It then started dropping rapidly, going from 45 to 41 in less then two minutes.
I've noticed another oddity; even though I've turned WiFi off, the battery screen reports it as constantly on.

I've tried three battieres, no luck
Having a strange problem with my galaxy S3 i9300. The phone charges at normal speed for some time and then slows down or stops before it reaches 100%. Have left it on charge for hours and still it would not reach 100%.
OS: CM 11 snapshot M12
Zero lemon 7000mah battery
Have tried multiple chargers and multiple cords to no avail. Please help
Thanks in Advance
Your usb port could be damaged, changing it can help.
That would be the last resort. Anything i can try on other than that to sort this out?
- Have updated CM11 to the last released snapshot.
- Have cleaned the USB port of all lint etc
Definitely the battery or the port, also check out “Galaxy Charging Current”, go to settings and tell it to warn if the 'average' current goes below 1000mA, it usually does at 90-100% range for me, I actually changed my usb port 2x over the last 2 years of owning an s3, shame..
Now I just keep my ac current limited to 800mA.
Knowing you own a 7kmAh battery the phone/rom might not be designed well for that amount, making it go wonky and crap.

Let me see if this app helps. My phone worked fine with this battery for almost a year now. So ROM and phone could not be the problem. Let me see what the app says. My guess is that that phone starts a trickle charge a little too soon and hence the phone stops charging after 70-80%
Okay I just had this issue on my N10, but I solved it by switching the charger out (yes sounds stupid, but it helped)
I did have this problem on other tablets however and I am happy to share the solutions I have found over the years.
Solution 1: Battery stats.
Plug it in and boot into twrp. If it just keeps showing a faint white battery icon, use solution 2. Now max out the screen brightness, and let it die. Now plug it in and charge it to 100%, boot into the OS and calibrate the battery by wiping the battery stats or grabbing a battery calibration app off the play store.
Solution 2: Different charger/Wall Brick
This was my N10s issue, I tried solution 1 but that didn't help, so I tried switching out the wall brick. I traded my 5 Watt amazon adapter for a generic usb wall brick. My wall brick heats up, yours might not. You know that the charger is a problem when you plug it in and the battery icon is dim, it should be full brightness and doing a little charging animation. I noticed that this generic brick would do the animation so I tried just leaving it plugged into that, and my tablet is now at 7% and going up slowly.
Solution 3: Reboot over and over again
Exactly the title. On my old kindle, the battery would occasionally come up with a real number rather than 0%.
Solution 4: Rom cycling
Flashing a different rom. I had to do this on my old tablet a few times, but it would fix it sometimes. Honestly any rom will do, just keep cycling.
Solution 5: Replace the battery
Lastly you could just replace the battery. a battery is about 40$ on amazon, so this is a bit pricey. This is a last resort and will most likely fix your problem, and if it doesn't, you'll at least have a nice full battery for when you do. I've never done this, but I've read about people having success when they do.
Tried most of the items you pointed out and unfortunately changing the battery was my only success.
However the new battery is also starting to give away. Using it as a photo frame so battery is not a issue, the yellowing of the screen however is..

'ole N10 user here, ordered a $23 replacement battery just now then hoping it resolves basically a dead battery. I own lots of tablets but a "why not" feeling if $23 makes it as-new.

I can confirm that there is something strange going on on the nexus 10 hardware. When I received my second hand nexus 10 ,it shoots down at 40% . Now after 3 months, I don't know why but trying to charge in twrp, let it go drain all the battery in twrp, and charging when it's turned off completely recovered the charging hardware ,because I know the battery can't recover from a bad state . Now it turns off at 0% , and it's not only a calibration effect, it lasts longer than before. I charged mine with an aukey charger and some good quality cables . I never used the original wall charger , because the aukey has 5 connectors and I use it to charge all my devices

I fixed it, turns out it was the charger I was using. Guess I was lucky, my Nexus 10 is a champ now.
I fitted my Nexus 10 battery. Bought the battery [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yru4k62qdEU"]here[/URL] and used this video guide. It was very easy took me about 30m watching and re-watching the key steps, the ribbons being the one to pay particular attention. Wow, though 17 screws......
I have Android N via Pure Nexus unofficial build and its performing well. Its relatively slow cpu by today's standards does make it stutter more if I make it do a few things at once, relative to my Pixel C, but I love the forward speakers and good now for a spare tablet. I just did similar thing for my Nexus 7 2013.
The Pogo pins is finnicky takes a few connection attempts til it works. I can see why 2 models later (after Nexus 10 was 9 then Pixel C) they moved to USB-C 3A 5V 15W its far quicker.
I've replaced the battery, changed a few roms, use different chargers all the time (whichever is Handy), and tried resetting the battery stats. No joy so far. Always shuts down at 30%.

I had the same issue with a new battery. I charged it up to 100% then went into twrp (I'm running linage) and wiped the cache. Touch wood it seems fixed.
I'm having a good experience once I opened up my N10 and replaced the battery. I'm getting very good battery life, on full brightness about 8-9 hours.
I like the screen form factor for watching videos like MP4 or Netflix. It is so good I turned off my Pixel C at 60% charge to make its $600 expense I spent 18 months ago last as long as possible for when I need its performance which is when traveling.
The recharge performance is the biggest weakness, I have to plug in the Pogo cable and leave it alone. I have a bit of light bleed on bottom right corner. Audio via built in speaker is a bit feeble. Running Pure Nexus which eventually will get Oreo.
I bought my Nexus 10 when released. Battery still lasts till the end and charges fine to 100%.
But this screen is so bright, I always kept it at lowest brightness. No screen issues and no battery issues and use it everyday since new.
I bought my Nexus 10 the week it was released. The battery eventually stopped holding a charge, and I replaced it. Now my battery indicator is stuck at 100%, which is as bad as 0%.
I'm about to try a different ROM. Hopefully that will help.

Fully charge it, wipe battery stats, reboot
This is a common problem when swapping batteries on any device. It took me a while to respond because MeowDude is my old account.

I tried letting the battery drain until it shut down, then recharging to 100%. I think it's better - not sure.
How do I wipe the battery stats?

Last year my Nexus 10 was due for a new battery. I swapped it for a new genuine one, but since that day the Nexus will shut down at around 80% charge. It's not that this percentage is incorrect (it happens at around two hours of light use), but it somehow sees 80% as 'empty' and shuts down. I've tried all solutions mentioned in this thread but to no avail. Any ideas?

Since I replaced my battery, my Nexus 10 stays charged for days. If you've replaced the ROM (so you know it's not a software problem), then it must be a hardware problem. Hopefully you just got a bad battery, and it's not the Nexus 10 itself.
