So my phone doesn't want to charge when it drops down past like 40% and when I try to charge it when it completely drains it just turns on instead. The only way I get a charge is when I take the battery out and let it sit for a bit but now that's not working, I'm going to try and leave it for a couple of hours and then try but this is really annoying and I have tried a new battery and no difference, phone simply doesn't want to charge
Has this happened to anyone before?
Try a new charger

tried many chargers lol its very strange like my phone is off and as soon as I plug in the cable the phone turns on, but doesn't charge...
Hello, try to load it via USB, or a phone reset (factory setting), there must be a program kidding.
If your phone is flashing, the places of origin, and try again.
Have you touched the wipe of your battery ?

What ROM ru using? And what kernel is it using?
Does it have a fast charge option?
Either way, flash back to a GB rom that was stable for u and charge while off. Then turn it on to recovery and from there wipe battery stats.
U should be good.
There's more but first see if this solves the issue
Vs Nexus S 4G
Try cleaning the USB port and or replacing the battery.

Hi,
I have recently tried out a few ROMs with my Nexus S to try to get better battery life. I tried CodeName Android and then figured I would try Slim ICS afterwards. I completely wiped everything and installed Slim ICS.
I have observed the following:
- Battery was ~40% when I installed Slim ICS
- I used it until the battery depleted
- Plugged phone into the wall charger
- Started the phone shortly afterwards (~25 minutes) and it says battery is 100% and then the phone randomly shut off
- Phone has been plugged into the wall charger and when I try to start it now sometimes it boots completely and then shuts off. Other times it just shuts off before it finishes booting up. The few times it does fully boot up, it says the battery is 100%
I've read through many postings about calibration but at this point I am not even able to fully turn on the phone even when its plugged into the wall.
Is this expected or is something else going on? I've never seen anything like this when I had the stock ICS. Why would erroneously report 100% but then not even let me fully turn on the phone? Thanks!

Maybe a bad battery?

Battery is fine. I ended up letting it charge a few hours and it now fully boots up and battery is almost fully charged now.
Whats strange is at times, when the battery was close to empty, when turned off and plugged into the wall, it showed the battery as being completely charged so I don't think it was charging. I had never observed this behavior with the stock ICS.

If it happens again I would suggest taking it to a sprint repair

same problem
Even I have faced the same problem whenever I reboot keeping my pfone charging,
This is very normal,
just let the battery drain completely and next time charge it till 100% it will work perfectly,
It happens with me whenever I install new rom.
basically the battery indicator shows incorrect status also battery will drain very quickly later but once you finish installation just let your phone charge for 3 hours . Problem will get solved

Also, you could try clearing the battery stats in clockwork mod recovery

Thanks. So it sounds like its more of a generic issue with ROMS in general as I never observed this before putting on a custom ROM.
I have problem with my nexus s every time its battery gets to 20% to 30% it shut down without warning or nothing written like shutting down and doesn't turn on or vibrate then plug charger when charging starts then it turns on tried many roms but didn't help.
PLEASE ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Are you overclocking/undervolting? If yes, then stop.
Otherwise change your battery.
Do this, preferably with a clean/new ROM install.
When the phone dies, charge it for 1-2 minutes just enough for you to enter recovery and clear battery stats.
Once battery stats are cleared power off the phone and leave it off and let it charge while you sleep.
When you wake up, power on the phone and use it normally until it dies. Do not reboot the phone during this time.
When the phone has died again, leave it off to charge fully again, once this second charge is done you are now free to use your phone as normal.
Some people claim clearing battery stats does nothing, and may be true. But I have always done my charging this way and it may be why all my phones still have the stock battery with excellent battery life.
Its also best to do this at night when you are asleep to let it charge all the way.

Well, I dont use my phone often because I use my Xperia but when I do, I charge it to full battery, then I turn it off, as you do to save battery, but next time a turn it on, it wont turn on causing me to plug it in, and Flat Battery! Do I need a new battery or should I try flashing a new ROM?
Thanks!
BTW Im using the Factory Battery that came with the phone

Try with reflashing roms and if you see that its still flating that buy a new battery

Happened to me once. Here's what I did -
Charged the battery, let it drain totally. Then removed the battery. Without the battery pressed the power button. Then put the battery and tried it.
If not, check whether the battery has bluged or the cover is not fitting well. If yes then you need a battery. If no then you need to flash a new rom.
WATCH OUT! Before flashing a rom, charge the battery without switching on your phone. (When the phone is off connect to the charger and you will see a battery charging animation.) Even if it says, charged, keep on charging cause you don't want the phone to shutdown while flashing. That may hard brick the phone.
I've Flashed A New ROM, Lets See if I Have The Same Problems
Given You Two Thanks
I'm using a Verizon SIII rooted with the bootloader unlocked. This problem just showed up today. I put the phone on the charger at 13% then, more than 2 hours later still on the charger my phone drops to 8%. I want to restore to from a Nandroid but I'm afraid the phone will die out before it can finish. What should I do?

Sounds like either your phone was not charging at all, your battery has gone completely bad, or your phone is not reporting the battery stats correctly. Try a different outlet? Use an external charger? Different cable?
What all have you tried? I.E. changing wall plugs, doing a battery pull that kind of stuff.

I got this phone quite recently. I hope the battery isn't bad. But the battery is charging, or at least the phone thinks it is because my red LED is on indicating the phone is charging. It may be data related as I turned airplane mode and power saving on and its now charging. I'll be able to restore to a Nandroid soon and hopefully whatever is causing my problem will go away. Anyway have any other idea what could have happened?

Well it really depends what your charging it with. If its not getting enough power from a certain outlet or power source then it might burn juice faster than its taking in.

I took this for you guys if it helps. Normally my screen is what takes the most of my battery. Now however, its the android system. Any ideas?

I got my GS3 Tuesday and i had to replace mine Friday because it was dead and wouldn't take a charge so it might be your battery.
Why don't you shut the phone off and then charge it. Then restore your back up.

I have a regular samsung battery and an extended battery for my infuse. Throughout the day i will be using the phone and it will shut down and then flash the ibfuse charging wheel and then show an empty white battery with no charge.
I have found other posts online that say to pull the battery and when you put it back in to immediately plug in a charger and it boots up. This works for me every time however it is very annoying when it does this five to ten times a day. And it happens with either battery. Both batteries do this when fully charged.
I am getting a new phone soon and blowing this one up with a stick of explosives. But any known fix would be appreciated until then.

Have you tried wiping the Batteries' stats? I have no clue if that will help since they do it when fully charged, but who knows... It may help/work.
I have a similar problem, though the phone doesn't seem to shut down much anymore. wiping battery stats did not help. It's slowly gotten better, but far from perfect.
When the phone is on I can charge it and the phone will recognize that it is charging... but if i unplug it and plug it back in it doesn't seem to recognize that it's being charged. It's been the same on several different ROMs.
If I shut down my phone it will absolutely not start without pulling the battery and plugging in the charger.
My contract is up in May or June... As much as I enjoy all the work that's been done for this phone my particular phone seems to be getting a little long in the tooth.
