My first charge also took a long time. Probably close to 4 hours. Hopefully, this doesnt persist.

Unplugged @ 8:25am & died by midnight . With heavy use

to be fair, it does have a big ass battery

Mine was doing the same at first but now charges a lot faster. Give it some time I guess these knee batteries have to be broken in. Lol

If anyone here had an Atrix at one point can you say this battery lasts about the same as the Atrix?? I loved the battery on the Atrix, but the phone not so much.

it lasts just as long, if not longer. I don't still have an Atrix to direct compare so this is kind of off feel/memory.

Chika Da China Da Chinese Chicken?
Every phone thread I have looked through states the same thing about all phones like ours.
New phones, wiped batt stats or newly flashed custom roms.
It takes a few cycles for the phone to create near perfect battery stats. It's not so much that it isn't actually charged in an hour or two. We are all looking at "statistics" produced by the software.
We all know how inaccurate software can be at times right Bill G?

Ok but how do u explain battery loss when the device is plugged in and in use...

Check the output of the charger.
So many variables. Wall direct plug charger charges quicker than a USB plug. USB plug charges better than a car charger. Check the 'ma' output and see if its like 500 or so. If so then you are basically charging at an equal or slower rate than the use of the same power.

There's another thread where they said to put it in mass media storage mode, not usb debugging. It may make a difference with non samsung adapter

Overheating?

Does any one else's Charge seem to get abnormally hot while charging? Like hot to the point where it's uncomfortable to put in my pocket after charging. Wondering if I should try and get the phone replaced before it fries itself or if it's just normal. Thanks!

Mine does it a lot, and its actually getting to the point where it wont charge my battery completely. Charged all last night, battery says 100%, but when I take it off the charger, its on 49%. And it died on 12%. Im taking it to VZW tomorrow to see if they can switch out the battery.

I know. Im actually on a replacement too. Its crazy, it did it with my other phone also. I only got a replacement due to the reception issues.

Verizon should replace the overheating phones. Mine overheated so badly that an error message popped up and said the phone could not charge because it was too hot.....something like that. I brought it to Verizon and they swapped it out no problem.

I wonder how many times they can swap out. Because mine overheats when it charges, and sometimes when itaint charging at all.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App

definitely not normal. Mine charges off of a 2amp charger in under an hour from 10 to 100 percent without getting very hot. Make sure you change out the charger too, the phone might not be the only problem. If there is a partial short it could be causing it.

If it's doing it with the factory charger, yes, it's a problem. If you have an aftermarket charger (or battery), it's most likely that. These phones are a bit touchier than they ought to be about where they accept their power from.

Mine seems to get pretty hot as well. Lets hope that we can pull a fascinate and use the warranty to get the sgs2.

indeed
my charge is overheating as well. there are 2 instances when it overheats. while Charging and downloading a huge file from internet or the app that uses internet/data.
I have tried diff battery did not help. I assume everyones phone is like that. Charge has a overheating problems.
IF you are not agree with me try to torrent on the phone for 20min. Just for testing sake and prove me wrong.(I dont torrent but it is a perfect example)

I had the same thing on my original Charge when it shipped to me. Along with the heat issue, my phone was dying way faster than it should considering my setup.
I went to a VZW corp store and they switched me out with a new battery as part of the manufacturer's warranty program.
The new battery didn't overheat anymore and my battery lasted twice as long.
Either way, you have nothing to lose.

big red is shipping me a replacement today...hopefully its a good one!

As always, if you are having heat problems I recommend underclocking/volting to 800mhz. Last time I did that it solved ALL my heat problems completely! It would only get ever so slightly warm when watching Netflix(the most data and system intensive app I know of). Never hot though.

Battery charge issues

Hello all. I had an issue w/ my proximity sensor so I got an AE. It was defective, so I got ANOTHER AE.
Since I owned my EVO I always get extended batteries. I bought a 2750mah and it worked great. Then it started charging slowly.
I got giftcards to Best buy for my birthday so I got a new on there. (Sedio 3400 I believe)
Now when I try to charge my phone, it will literally take 2 hrs or so to get 15-20% charged.
I use my handset heavily, but w/ my EVO it was like 2hrs = a full charge and all day heavy use got me to a minimum of 25%.
I know LTE is to blame for a little battery drain, but any ideas? Full charge to 30% in like 5 hrs sometimes. Should I order another AE?
I'm on stlck w/ the most current software btw. Thanks.

Are you using an original stock charger? Are u charging through PC?
Battery could be defective..

I was thinking if he was rooted he needed to do battery calibration since he swtiched from stock to extended battery. Clear the stats and start over fresh. Maybe I am wrong, we'll see when we answers when or if he is rooted.

I am stock.
I switch between the HTC charger that came with it and several other after market cables/usb wall adapters.
I try to use plug in outlets as I know the "trickle" method takes forever.
I'm on my 2nd extended battery.

I had alot of issues with charging my Incredible to the point where my phone took 5 hours to charge and 1 hour to drain. No simple answer here but if you root your phone many options exist to fix this battery issue. Recal the battery would be the first option. If you are able Root try that and come back and report.

Is this battery problems or charger or phone?

So one day, I was left at my friend's house without my normal, Sidekick Charger.
My friend had an HTC Sense charger and it seemed to fit my Sidekick, and without thinking twice, I used it for the night.
My phone charged ti 100% and I unplugged it and used it throughout the next day.
It died and I tried charging it with my normal charger and it would randomly stop charging and continue charging and then stop and repeat.
It's gotten worse the past week to the point I can only charge it halfway at night.
I'm running on the new GOV32 if that helps.
And I'm using the normal Samsung charger. And my phone is only about a year and a half old.
So my question is, what's causing the problem? The phone itself, the charger, or the battery?
I'd like to know.. cause school is coming soon and I don't wanna be that loser not using an Android.. Especially in a technology academy!

Chargers have given me this problem before. Get a new one, worth the piece of mind and investment its relatively cheap as well.

I tried using my friend's that he bought off the internet, and he has a Sidekick too.. and it still doesn't work..

Weird. Take out the battery and hold the power button for 10 seconds and try it again. (This is known as power draining)

Okay, so I did this.. and it still doesn't work.. What now..?
I tried 5 times on 2 different chargers.

could be your charger port is loose. Not sure what you could do other than a reolacement

Battery level falling even while charging

Hi guys,
In my phone my battery level keeps falling even when it I plugged to the charger...it goes up to a certain percentage and then starts falling off the cliff while still on charger...attaching a picture of the charge cycle...
I am on Albino JB 4.2.2 build 13th April. Have already tried three different batteries but same result...switched ROM and still the same...greenified most apps such as FB and maps...Even tried different chargers !!! This is really harassing me... Can someone guide me pls what to do next ???
Thanks

I've had the same problem once, do you use your original wall charger?
If not, buy an orginal no fake.
That's what helped with me

try a different battery.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have already tried different batteries but maybe its the original wall charger thing. Will give it a shot.

Until that point it seems to be charging just fine. Will it charge the battery fully when the phone is off? Try completely discharging your battery then fully charging it while keeping your phone off.

Hi guys.
The problem continues !!!
Below are the things i have tried...
1.) Charging with original wall charger during phone on...Battery still declining during charging
2.) Completely wiped my phone and did not put any app still the same result
3.) Got a new Anker battery and still the same result (this is my fourth battery !!!)
4.) Tried different chargers and still the same result
5.) Switched off the phone and charged overnight and it took approx 8 Hrs to charge full but then the battery depleted quite quickly !!!
There is something wrong with the battery indicator it seems...Once the battery hits 0% while charging it rockets backs to 100% and then again starts to deplete.
Any more suggestions anyone ???

Maybe the charging electronic is just broken, if there is you have really tested new charger and new battery. Maybe controll your batterypins, maybe those are somehow broken (especially ground pin?)

I hope you also tried in different wall sockets lol
Otherwise I think the mechanism responsible is busted :S

Hi. I had the same problem. I solved it by getting a new cable for the charger. I.e. the charger was working well, but the cable was failing to deliver enough power. Hope this will work for you too.
