Yesterday I was off charger for 4 hours, plugged in my phone and got the signal that my phone was fully charged. Now five minutes off the charger and I am down 2 percent.
In addition, I ran Tunein Radio, and Navigation and I was losing 5 percent of battery an hour, even though I was plugged into a charger. Thoughts?

What amperage is your charger my boy are you using the stock one from the SR or not if you are is it making a high pitched noise if your not again amperage is important if your using anything under 1amp it might not charge if your using your phone especially
Also navigation and radio are super intensive cheap ass charger wont charge make sure you get a good 1 or 2 amp charger

Okay. With the LG Rev, and a Rom, we could easily get by with stock.
Lots to learn about Sammys

I was using navigation, hence I was driving. Sorry, I didn't mention it clearer. I have a 400ma charger. Time to upgrade that too.

Why?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
A) Youre charging from a USB port which doesnt supply much power so if you use the phone while its charging the phone drains faster than it charges.
B) Youre using a charger that was originally intended intended for low power devices like bluetooth headsets in which case the same reason already given applies.
Also, wrong section.
Sorry, also I'm using the charger it came with but I'm using 2 USB extention cables

i would imagine that it would probably be one of those extensions that is slowing it down because it cannot handle the AMPs. see which one is "hot" and thats probably the one.
Ill try, thanks

What's the purpose of the extention? If you're trying to find a good place for wireless tethering, that could very well be draining your batteries.
Is there anything else you can try charging with the current setup for comparison?

While I have my phone plugged into the wall it'll charge at idle. But if im playing zynga poker while it's plugged in, the battery will drain. Now while im playing I notice the battery gets pretty hot. Doesnt drain while im surfing the web or using xda developers app and such. Not sure why this is happening. The battery is only about a couple months old. Verizon gave me a new battery when I called in for a replacement phone.
Anyone have any ideas for this?
Sent from my Droid Charge using Humble 5.0
It could be because it is charging and useing an app that uses a lot of battery and functions of the phone. I really have no idea though. Just a thought.

Phone is using more power than the wall is providing. Are you using the OEM charger?

Charging current is controlled by the kernel. It's using more power than is allowed by the kernel. This is fairly common for me-especially when I'm hammering the LTE radio. When you want it to charge faster, leave it alone.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
Alright good, atleast I know it isn't a problem now. Just making sure my phone isn't crapping out on me.
Thanks everyone
Sent from my Droid Charge using Humble 5.0
Yep, I think it's regulated at 800ma by kernel so it sounds like you have too much juice-sucking apps.
Your battery charges best if your phone is powered off.

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

OK my skyrocket vis having a problem I've never seen before. It doesn't fully charge. I'll leave it on the charger over night and it will stay on 20% and never goes past it. I tired different batteries, chargers even those separate battery chargers. I tired different ROMs still no luck. Also tired returning to stock but I get stuck at loop.

How's the battery drain when you unplug? Does it sit at 20% for, well, hours on end, or does it start dropping to 19% within an hour or so?
I'm wondering if it's just your battery meter glitching out, not so much the batteries themselves. Tried wiping the battery stats yet?
I'm thinking the same tj software I say try going back to stock again but this time follow the guide step by step
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
It starts to drop normally but gets to one percent and last about 30 minutes.

This. Go to stock, root, then wipe battery stats. Charge the battery to 100% with phone off then leave it for another 30 mins. Turn the phone on and use the Battery Calibration app (rooted) to start the calibration, then use the phone normally and take it all the way down to 0%. Repeat with the other two batteries before switching off of stock. That should go a long way towards solving the problem.

Not sure if serious.
It runs on 4 AA batteries. They charge the phone for an hour and then need to be changed.
