Hello everybody!
I have a tranformer tf101 with + / - 6 months of use. After being stopped a few weeks (drained battery) it no longer charge and the system does not recognize the battery. When I plug the charger he starts the boot and not charge the battery. In settings with the battery status is "unknown" and a question mark on top.
I've given a factory reset and nothing. Has also has opened the tablet and unplugged and plugged the battery again. I did a test trying to turn on the device without battery and it turned on like before, like when connected (interrogation and status unknown).
The charger is apparently working, coz is charging dock.
I can not send to warranty because I live in Brazil...
Can anyone give me a light? Have researched a lot and found nothing ...
Thank you all!
Try plugging it into a USB port on your PC and leave it plugged in overnight, turned off.

thanks for the reply! I've done it, one entire day on energy and other day directly to the USB... But nothing!
Well... It might be possible that the battery is busted from being discharged for so long.
Although... Does it work on battery or does it instantly die when you unplug it?
When I disconnect die instantly! But if is on dock, he stay on
Yeah sounds like the battery is busted then. It works from the dock because the dock acts as a charger for the tablet, just like the 'real' charger.
Strange how a battery with six months of use given problem.
Would if I try to put a higher charge on it (20v) and force her to reactivate might work?
Batteries only last so long, and yours sounds like it is shot.
It's very strange that yours went bad after such a short amount of time.
If the charger charges the dock but not the Transformer, then it's not the charger.
You could possibly buy a replacement battery and perform the surgery yourself.
Other than that, RMAing is the only thing that can be done.

Software should not be the problem, right?
I'll try to overload the battery to see if she resurrects.
Then post the result!
thanks all for now!

It not that strange. Its not the age per se thats the issue here - its that it was discharged for so long. Once a battery reaches a certain level, it simply wont charge anymore.
Applying 20v will just blow the fuse in the TF, or worse - fry the whole thing... Dont do that
I read somewhere the fuse blows at 17v or something.
And even if we ignore the tablet for a second, applying higher voltage to the battery will just kill the few cells still alive.
And, in worst case, it can even cause the battery to explode, possibly starting a fire and/or damage a person. Although thats not likely with such a low over-volting as 20v. Im just trying to tell you not to put more voltage on a batter than its designed to get
The only way to 'possibly' repair a dead battery is to trickle-charge it, meaning applying a low voltage over a period of time.
Hello Goatshocker!
This charge 20V must be made directly to the battery and not in TF, it really would kill him! And it would be just a "scare" the battery in about 2 seconds only, the rest of the charge would be normally done after (15v). I've done this with cell phone battery several times!
As the battery is dead it seems, think it's the only option.
But before doing so I'll take you on an assistance to make sure it is the battery.

Ah yes, you are quite correct about that. I completely forgot about that method.
Yes, that might indeed work. But I would only do that as a last-resort, although you seem to be quite out of other alternatives
I took him in an assistance yesterday. Tomorrow should tell me the problem. Depending on the result already do the "scare" on battery.
then put the result here!
I had a similar problem. I tried connecting it to different sockets and it finaly charged.

whath kind of sockets you used?
Unfortunately, the overcharging did not work! The battery was completely dead, not sure how this is possible! But it's a valuable tip! The battery dock is the same tablet. So I changed them and I was working with the tablet and dock only works on energy.
Can anyone advise me a reliable site to purchase this battery? The model is ASUS C21-EP101
ty all!
I have now had this problem twice this week. I have read other posts that sound similar but the issue seems different.
Twice I have shut down my phone at night. With FULL battery. The next morning, I could not turn the phone on. It would vibrate when I hit power button but not come on at all.
Both times I plugged it in and saw that the battery was COMPLETELY drained. I have seen threads where people post about some battery drain overnight, but this was an entire drain, with the phone off.
This is a major issue obviously as both times the next morning I was on the go and had zero battery life.
Any ideas of what this can be? Does it sound like a physical battery issue? Is the phone maybe not actually shutting down and getting caught in some battery draining process?
Help please.
The best way to test the shutdown issue is pulling the battery after it seems to shut down. Try pulling it for a few seconds and replacing it, but leaving the device off. If that produces the same result, try leaving the battery out overnight.
This seems to only be happening if I leave the battery in the phone.
It happened again last night. Complete drain.
Im not sure but I feel like there may have been a buzz as it turned itself off (not sure if its always there need to experiment further). I picked it up and hit buttons to make sure it wasnt just in standby. It wasnt. it was OFF.
Next morning, no battery.
Any ideas? Id love some help as this is becoming a pretty big problem for me.
Have you ruled out a hardware issue already? If not then call the carrier.

This actually happened to me a night before last as well - twas the first night running Smooth Ice 5.1. Are you on that by chance? Not knowledgeable enough to really comment on whether or not that could be it, but it'd be something to eliminate.
I switched to the new leak last night and the battery life has been excellent off charger all day, for what it's worth.
I am on stock everything.
I am still trying to diagnose the problem.
It seems that when I Power Off, occasionally at the end of the power done I will get a Vibrate. When that happens, I think it is draining while switched off.
When the Power Down happens and I dont feel the vibrate, so far I have not experienced the drain.
Does that perhaps give anyone ideas about what might be happening? Some kind of locked in Process or App? Any likely culprits? Any diagnostics that can show, if it does drain, what drained it?
In the past when it drained I plugged it in to charge and checked battery stats, but it showed Display as the largest consumer. Does the About Battery stats reset each time you plug in and start charging?

It always vibrates when you power off, at least mine does.
The battery stats reset after a full charge has been achieved.
I have no idea what would be discharging it while off besides a bad battery.
Put the BetterBatteryStats application on there. The stock Battery Use GUI interface that is built into the firmware will not show you details enough, it will just show what application used the cpu for X amount and caused the battery to go down X amount.
Put BetterBatteryStats on there to find out what is causing the phone to get drained so quickly. Seems like its not going in deep sleep mode and there is some partial wakelock that is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep. That app will tell you what service or application is holding the largest wakelocks and amount of time it does it for. This helps to determine the issue. Without this, you are just speculating on the problem with the built in Battery Use stats/graph in the Status screen.

Something else I noticed...
Over the last few data, sometimes when I power down the phone, it goes through the powering down process usual, but as soon as its done, the phone vibrates and powers right back on...
Anyone experience this or an idea why that would happen?
Just a thought; If I'm charging my phone with a generic charger (500 mA) and shut it off, it will reboot.
If I'm charging with either the factory wall charger or a 12 volt that triggers AC charge it won't.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
The reboot happens when I shut down and am not plugged in to a charger at all....
My galaxy S has been doing this too lately (loses all charge when off overnight). It always buzzes on shutdown.
One thing that mine has is a problem with the usb port, it slowly stopped working and now I can't charge it anymore through the port. I'm wondering if there is a physical short there that is causing the battery to drain. Possibly you have something similar going on, or a short elsewhere in the system.
I've noticed that you cannot shut the phone down when charging from certain chargers too, especially in the car. Very annoying.

Hey guys,
Im still having this issue and wanted to hear if there is a known fix or solution?
Honestly, the severity of battery drain you're describing sounds lije more of a hardware issue than anything else. I would contact yoir carrier as mentioned above. Beyond that, trying out a custom ics like sky or embryo might be your best bet if you prefer the tw interface. Im on embryo 5.1 right now and am experiencing better battery health and longevity than ever before with the skyrocket. But the issue does sound like a bad battery.

This happened to me on one of my i777s.
The phone would even not boot up. It will just vibrate. Turns out the battery was bad. Changed the battery. It was still the same.
Then tried another charger, same thing happened.
So then I changed the whole charging port part in the phone.
Voila! Phone worked like a charm.
So if you have warranty change the phone. If not change the charging port. At least in my case.
I came to a conclusion that even the battery went bad because of the bad charging. Might be a coincidence too.

I have 3 S2 phones that I bought as defect and played around with. Two I could fix but I could not resolve the battery issue on the third phone like by buying a brandnew USB charger part (and trying the ones from the other 2 phones. It has nothing to do with the ROM or anything software either. I narrowed it down to be an issue on the actual mainboard. The weird thing is that the battery discharges way faster when the phone is turned off than when it's in use.
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.

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)

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.

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

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.
Not sure if this is related to 4.4 or the nexus 5 specifically (pretty sure its the hardware). While using the phone during charging it doesn't charge fast enough to keep powered on. My wife was on facebook when hers went down, and I was playing knights of pen and paper when mine went down. The phone will eventually just power off and flash the red led 8 times. The only way to power it back on is to load the bootloader first (vol up + vol down + power) then press the power on start. I tested this on 2 black 32GB Nexus 5s with android 4.4.
This is really easy to test, next time your device is low keep using it after plugging it in. It will eventually just "go dark" and you'll be greeted by the flashing red led.
Here is a link to the google group product forum thread I created, please post feedback. This needs to get fixed, hopefully just an update can resolve it.

Yikes. This isn't good. The only time the phone may not be able to keep up with charge is when using GPS. If this is a widespread issue I'm sure it will be fixed. Unless you have a bad battery or charger! I will test..
Update:
Just played game Aurolux whilst charging for 10 minutes and phone gained 5%.

I tested it on both mine and my wifes phones, different chargers as well. Also the load on the devices was low, both were on wifi, she was using the facebook app, I was playing knights of pen and paper, both on auto brightness (in our living room, lights off). Same thing happened on both, screen just cuts out, red light starts flashing.
Hopefully it gets fixed, if more people will test it and post feedback here or at googles forum it would be great.

Same here. Zero issues playing games and phone charges.
Are you using a custom ROM or kernel? That could explain it. Otherwise you either have two did chargers, or 2 did batteries, or a combination of both.

How low was the charge on the phone? Both of ours were under 10% when we plugged them in and kept on them. Both phones are completely stock.

I guess I could try to charge when it's below 10%, but maybe easier is if you try charging whilst using your phone above say 20%. If you still have the issue then I think it's device related, if not report back.

I'm gonna give that a shot tomorrow. Its getting late and need to get up for work in a couple hours. Thanks for testing, makes me wonder though if it is my phones, or if its and issue with a low battery and charging/using.....maybe something related to the reason why you cant do an update until your battery is at 20% despite being connected to a charger.

How low was the charge on the phone? Both of ours were under 10% when we plugged them in and kept on them. Both phones are completely stock.

you have faulty devices or chargers. my N5 charges super fast. over 1% per minute(until 80%) while it is on and being used
mine died this morning when i woke up. plugged it in and watched a few youtube videos while i woke up and let it charge

They seem to charge just fine when left alone. It just seems too coincidental that both phones would have the exact same power issue.

I agree... Since first replying to this thread I've gained 29% more battery and have been using phone constant. It charges really fast.

dont forget, the snapdragon has 'quick charge 2.0', you shouldn't be seeing that kind of charging issues. i mean, if it's something you're ok living with. but that sounds like a big indicator that the battery or charging module is faulty/will go bad soon

No I'm already getting mine replaced for dead pixels but to have 2 phones experience the same issue like this is weird. Need more people to test the phones under 10%, I know they charge fast but there could be a reason why behind this like I listed above.
The only thing I notice is the charger does get quite warm when charging, but it's very fast.
It does sound too coincidental, but not impossible.
I hope it works out for you.

could it possibly be the cable, or the charger unit, or even the wall socket? these are all things that should be tested
I just wanted to say that I had the same issue as you and the problem so far seems to happen when you let the battery get pretty low before plugging it in.
The battery was down to about 8% when I plugged the phone in last night (to the lg charger). I actually left mine alone for about 30 minutes and when I came back, it was at 6%. I did verify that the display said "Charging" when the cable was plugged in. I unplugged the phone, and plugged it back in and started browsing the web on wifi and within another 15 minutes the battery had gone down to 2%. I turned off the screen and left it alone and when I checked it again, it was at 1%. At that point, I was worried about the phone, so I urned off the phone completely. When I turned it back on, it did look like it was charging again, but very slowly. At this point, I tried plugging it into another charger that I had, and it charged up fairly quickly.
Definitely pretty frustrating as I've never had something like this happen unless you have the usb cable plugged into a computer.
Last night I went to plug my phone into the lg charger...I could hear the charger buzzing slightly....I plugged in the phone and thought nothing of it really... Looked at my phone on the way to work and it wasn't charged past 28%.... plugged it into another charger at my desk and its at 47% in a matter of minutes...
I know op said he tried different chargers, but just tossing in my lousy 2c

The only chargers I tried were the ones that came with the phones. I got a bunch of others so Im going to give them a shot as well and see how this fairs.
Ok so Im sitting here trying to recreate the issue and it is different. I brought the battery down to 4% plugged it in and kept playing kop&p and the battery hasnt gone down, it actually went up to 7% but its holding there. I am letting it get to 10% now before I pick it up and try again. I swapped out between the n5 charger and my n4 charger both held it at 7% while playing.
Maybe this just has to do with battery conditioning, or maybe the snapdragon quickcharge ic.
Just checked the phone, from the time I started writing this till now (maybe 2 minutes) its up to 10% so back at it I go.
The charger that comes with the phone is horrible. Its the same type as the n4 which dies after 2 months. Don't use it, just use another one and you'll be just fine.
