I've got the dock for 2 days now. After unboxing, I charged for 8 hrs following manual instructions. Used it with the Pad for some hours (I don't remember for how long) till it ran out of battery, charge for another 8 hrs last night. Then I left it undocked for about half day. As I was running out to a cafeteria, I just docked the Pad (which was in standby state), hop in the car, and now, when I open the pad, the dock's battery is completely ran out, 0%. My dock S/N is B80. Has anyone countered the same problem? What is happening with it? Thanks.

I believe that there are apps in the Market that will allow you calibrate your sensors.... Take a look - let me know if you can't find anything...

I've had some issues lately with the newer firmwares where the tablet refuses to go into deep sleep until it's been rebooted, especially if you leave the browser with tabs open for an extended period of time.
Been using CPU Spy to keep track of it. It doesn't really seem to be related to any specific apps (ran it this way for a week after a full wipe and not installing anything new on both stock and Prime 1.8.4) in that even with a nearly blank slate it will still do this. Haven't figured out why yet but a reboot seems to temporarily fix it.

I have tried to find but it seems there is no apps that can deal with dock battery calibration. Could you help to post the link? Thanks.
What's weirder now is that I undock the pad, charge the dock with stock power cable/adapter, after 2.5 hrs, the dock battery is still empty, red light keeps blinking. Is it a sign that my dock is malfunction?

Well, I found some suggestions in the link below, tried "Cold reboot" and the problem seemed solved, at least for now

Sounds like the issue you have is more to do with the dock not charging over any excessive drain.
Have you tried charging it connected to the tablet see if it fares any better? Otherwise if its still not charging you may want to RMA the dock.
your problem is no problem you can solve. when the dock is connected, the tablet is using the dock to charge its own battery. once the docks battery is depleted, the tablet will be at 100% still. you should still be able to use the dock till the tablets battery dies as well, but with a blinking dock light

so if you're battery is depleted in the dock does the battery need to be replaced? Is there really no other option?
My keyboard and mouse still work fine the dock just won't charge. The orange light blinks and the dock leaches power off the tablet.
I have a bit of electronics experience and I've tried every reset you can do to the tablet with the dock connected and tried different chargers.
The problem seems to be in the port, the computer doesn't recognize is as a USB connection, so it's not even getting power from there. I read somewhere there is an internal switch that causes the battery to not charge. I flipped the switch with the tablet inserted, while charging and not charging and a bunch of different ways and that didn't help it still won't charge. Do I just need to replace the whole battery?
Have you tried charging from an outlet, not the computer ?
My wife had a problem with the screen on her EVO SHIFT so she went to a sprint store and they ordered her a replacement phone. it came in on Friday. I have it rooted and running a custom rom and kernel. that part is OK. HOWEVER, it doesnt seem to charge. I have tried 5-6 different cables (AC Charger). It seems like it is charging and you can see the charge % go up SOME but it seems to never get past 50%. I also tried different batteries (I have 4 spare batteries). The Amber charger light is on and the phone says it is charging and connected to AC.
Any ideas what would be causing this? I thought about it being a bad charging port but it is showing connected and charging... Any help would be appreciated....

What ROM/Kernel are you running?
You might want to let the battery drain completely, then plug it in and see if a battery charges. If it does go to 100% (which it should), then thereafter, reset the Battery Stats.

Running Supreme Sense X with dodge kernel 1.6.. his evening I got it to charge to 100% and the green light came on.. took it upstairs and plugged it in after a few minutes... the light came on amber and it said it was charging but after about 2 minutes went off and was no longer charging.. I then pulled the charger out and pushed it back in and it started charging again. I giggled the cord and the light didnt go off.
HOWEVER... just went in and the light is green again.. picked up the phone and giggled the cord.. light when off.. then I unplugged the charger and plugged it back in.. now its amber again.. I wonder if it is the port.. this is a replacement phone we got from a service center that we had to wait over a week for. I would hate to have to un-root and take this back for a second time.. its a pain to unroot and then get a phone and have to downgrade and re-root.
Im reading that the EVO SHIFT has a LOT of bad charging ports.. is this true?

The EVO Shift does not have a history of Bad Charging ports. Because it's a Refurb, there may be a possibility of it. But it might also be that when you jiggle the USB Cord your momentarily interrupting the connection enough to make it think it's been Unplugged. Then the device detects that it's plugged in, it starts the charging process all over. Also as a built in safety most devices do not charge the Battery to 100%. What happens is the Battery is charged to a preset level. Usually between 95-98% , but it will register as 100% . This is to prevent overcharging of the Battery. That is why when you first unplug a device the battery appears to drop the first 1-5% very quickly. Then drain slower after that.

Thanks. I know all of this as I have a regular evo. The shift is my wife's. I don't believe what you are describing is the issue. Hmm

Do you have any other odd issues occurring? Did you do a Full Wipe before Flashing?
If you have another shift, check the battery in it. I've said before, and I'll say it again....some of these shifts end up with a bad sensor somewhere for the battery. GF has the same problem with hers, but when I use her battery, it's charged 100%. Phone needs to be replaced, or needs to be checked in hardware. It's not a rom isse, charging port issue, or anything else.
There are several chargers available at Amazon. Maybe this would be a good option for you. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...prefix=battery+charger+for+evo+shift,aps,1622

...pretty sure it's not the charger. The charger doesn't decide when the battery stops filling. Something isn't reading correctly. Maybe it's a system issue, something software but not the rom (like a faulty BIOS as opposed to the OS)
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
The charger can sometimes be an issue if it's not the Factory Charger, or a suitable replacement. I've seen several people run into issues by not using the correct charger. It is quite possible to damage the device, and the battery by not using the correct charger. Also some of the cheaper car chargers do not have an over-charge protector built in. While saying "over-charge protector" is a misnomer, what your actually trying to avoid is the battery continually trying to be charged when it's already charged. With some of the cheaper chargers it will cause the battery, and or the device to overheat.

Glad you got it all sorted :cyclops: .
Has anyone else noticed that it is possible to lose more battery than gain while charging our phone? Last night I had it on the charger while downloading stuff via torrents. This morning I woke up and saw my phone was at 45%. I know why the battery drained, but I just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this?

I have never had this problem, but granted I do not do things as demanding as torrents on my phone. Could it be other problems such as overclocking your phone, or possibly a bad kernel?

I have this issue in my car. The car USB can only provide up to 500mA of current at 5V to the phone. When I have the screen on along with music playing, LTE enabled, and navigation going, it will certainly lose charge while charging. I'm looking to modify it to provide up to 1.25A. In any case, the stock charger is 1A. Even though with all that going on (screen and navigation are power hogs), 500mA is barely enough as I'll lose about 1% every half hour. Maybe you can try plugging into a higher capacity converter (maybe borrow one from someone, or have one lying around?) lets say 2A (that's what i'm using, I found one with my HP touchpad) and see how that works.
In the end, I still say 1A is sufficient even with that going on, so it sounds like somethings askew with your phone IMHO.
It happened to me. But the weird thing is that I was asleep.
It's happened to me on my Droid X2 with Netflix over 3G. What surprises me is that the screen wasn't on and you were going over WiFi. If I were you, I'd try a different charger in the exact same scenario.
Was the phone hot at all?

I agree, your charger you used must have a problem with it. Or not be made for a smartphone.
Only time Ive ever run into this was when I tried using my iPod charger(5v) on my iPad 3 which needs a 10v charger. Was the charger itself hot?
Well idk if it was hot because I was asleep. When I woke up it was normal. And it cant be the charger because it was the charger that came with it. I haven't experienced it since but I just saved that screenshot just in case.

I notice this issue more often when using the stock charger that came with the phone more than my other chargers. I have an OEM spare battery and battery charger so it doesn't effect me much but it is a bit frustrating when i do need to plug in.
I only noticed this after flashing the unlocked aboot.

This was the first thing I noticed about my phone before I even rooted that surprised me.
Happens to me also. I'd say even with moderate use and the charger that came with the phone, it's only able to hold a charge. A 3D game would cause the charge to drop pretty well
I did notice with imo's kernel and ffc (force fast charge) on the phone would hold the charge much better or continue charging - but it would get much hotter of course
This happened to me a few times but I just threw the cord away and bought a new phone. Hasn't even come close to happening since. I'd look into a new charger for sure
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Happens to me too
I noticed that also.
Doesn't matter what level my battery is when I plug it in, it goes down 5-14% before it begins to increase.
Noticed one time when I was cycling the battery and plugged it in at 10%. The phone actually shut off while being plugged in!
Now I just don't let it get that low anymore but it always goes down before going up.

All of a sudden my note has become extremely slow to charge.

I have a feeling that the power saving mode on slows the charge down. That's the only setting I had changed recently.
Ill test tonight.
Charged overnight and battery charged less then 50%. Ive had it had on charger for hour and a half and has charged 7%. I think it was the update. Many problems for me since update, but this is the biggest one.

I had the same issue for a bit. Someone said to try disconnecting and reconnecting the usb from the power block about 4 or 5 time relatively quickly and that fixed it for them... tried it and have not had an issue since even when connected to an extension. But also make sure its firmly in.
Oh.. and do this with the note plugged into the mini end of course
I have to say that I have been very happy with the crazyondigital wall charger that was bundled with my case. I used the OEM charger for the initial charge but began using the crazyondigital charger because it's more convenient due to the fact that it's longer. It also seems to charge more qiuckly. Perhaps slow charging with the OEM charger has something to do with the USB wall wart wiring design.
I seem to have the same type of problem I had mine on charge for 2 days now I done nothing different in the way I normaly charge, I tried both having ny note off over nite and with it on both with no luck, both time my note not fully charged.
This started on Friday gone,
If this dont charge soo. I will try factory reset since thats the other option bar getting a new charger

Had the same problem yesterday. my note went out of energy and shut down. So, after a while I connected it with the cable to charge. And what happened? After a hole night I got only 50% -.- I was like wtf?? then I tried the galaxy s3 charger and there was a red cross on the battery icon. Then I tried the note charger, again nothing, and like the other poster said, after a few times in and out it worked again.
another one here with slow charging, this is a big problem, its so slow it means it drains when you are using the tablet when its plugged in, you should be able to use it and charge at the same time. I could understand if it didnt charge much when I was using it but to not charge at all is a real fail.
Has anyone logged this issue to samsung?
Nothing has solved this problem for me.
Taking 8 hours to charge 79% is just beyond comprehension. Can't use it plugged in as it drains anyway. I want a update asap or I'm ditching this tab.
I don't know what caused this, it was fine a few weeks after the update and suddenly crippled.

So it's not the update then? If it was fine for a few weeks and then suddenly crippled JB is not the problem.
More likely an Application is NOT properly compliant with JB and is draining battery or hogging

Nothing shows up as running and hogging the battery. It doesn't drain fast once charged. It just charges slow.

Indeed, it charges so slow it drops when you are using it plugged in, if anyone has registered their tab properly with samsung perhaps they could log a fault, I havent had chance to do this yet.
Also, has anyone tried switching back to stock to see if it resolves it?
It's charging just fine, but it doesn't show that it's charging. Running GT-P5100 CyanogenMod 4.2.2.
Keep in mind that it's charging fine, but doesn't show me that it's charging. Do I factory reset?
Try THIS way
1. Reboot in to recovery mode
2. Wipe battery status
3. Reboot

Well, not a wall... I used a plug extender, and tried it in the wall but still doesn't show. I might try buying a new charger.
By the way, the charger is a USB that is plugged in the you know, plug. I think you know.
Anyways, My friend borrowed me his white iPad, and I noticed that the plug is from his iPad. I called him to look at his plug, and it said it's made by Samsung.
