So What do i do now .. New Phone or is there away this can be Fix
Maybe a Powerful Charger ?

First I doubt is the port since it will charge when off. So first, are you using the sick charger, are you plugged into the wall or a computer. Also are you bad battery drain when unplugged? I would think you should go back to stock and see of it fixes it

The stock one is plenty. What he is saying is that it went bad. Try another charger and see if it works. Any micro USB charger will work.

I'm guessing you have something draining your battery. Download better battery stats and see what is eating up your battery.

You need to download better battery stats and find out what app is causing the battery drain and when you find it uninstall it

From your description it sounds like a rogue app causing a bad drain which is causing both the show charge and fast drain. So like I said get better battery stat and let's see what the app is.

Okay . I found what's causing the Drain . But how do I stop it .. in 10 mins I went to 90%-85%

This seems to be a common problem. I think the consensus is a corrupt file in your SD card. So you need to backup your external SD card and format it.

True story. It worked for me.

I know this sounds crazy but check and make sure usb debugging is off. If that doesn't work wipe ur battery stats.

Also u may need to wipe internal memory to help with some media drain. Not external!!! I use twrp and it makes these things a lot easier.

Losing battery percentage is one of the common problem in almost all Samsung devices so don't worry abt it. After the battery drop, if u keep the phone idle for sometime the battery will raise automatically to it's actually level.

This thing only happens when the battery is miscalibrated. I've calibrated well various times and that problem gone. Try to use battery calibration apk.

well, there's no other way for me to recover my SL now unless i order a new motherboard
Here's the story:
I got my SL's touchscreen and digitizer replaced by some guy in stalls in a mall where they "repair" galaxy phones. Apparently, he did not inform me that he will be installing a fake one. Ergo, the keypad flex was already grounded... and unluckily passed on to my motherboard.
It literally f*cked up my charging input and output.
... *sigh

[Q] help, battery problem DDDDDDDDDD:

Hi, my device is as if the charger read more ... but it works both the battery and the charger I can do?
Thank you all for the answers

Please can you explain a bit more your problem. Its hard to understand what you said.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm confused!! still I think your problem might be related to charging port. change it and it will work like charm..

Kindly advice .. my battery full charged at 4v, is this normal?

Hello ppl,
please advice if that normal battery or defective .. I use official AC charger for my new note 8, the battery is of course 4.2v but after fully chaging the battery and unplug it directly the voltage read 4v (read it by using *#0228#) .. Is this normal or should it read 4.2v .. thx 4 ur advice

Probably normal. I wouldn't worry too much

What kind of a charger did you buy if I may ask ? And did that have any negative effects on your battery ?

I use a old Samsung charger that I had laying around and it takes around an hour to fully charge.

I just used the standard htc charger that came with the phone and from using it with a fastcharge kernel my battery was fine

I do not remember.
I think Nokia

Charging time
Hey,
I thought the adapters should be the same ( 5V and 1A)... But I also had the feeling that the orginal HTC adapter is best...(~1,5h - 2h full charge) Even if they have to be the same, Samsung adapter seems not to fit perfectly and takeing more time...
Does anyone have experience useing battery with more mAh..?

I just installed icecode kernel. Will see how fast the phone charges up!
