HELP! Battery indicator automatically increasing without charging.. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My lil' bro's GT2-P3110's battery indicator/notification became weird, it was started last night. The battery indicator/notification was increasing automatically without charging it. I've tried rebooting the device but it keeps on increasing. After rebooting, the battery indicator was 40% but after a few seconds it will increase until it reached 100%. It was frustrating because it didn't know what is the real battery status of the device. =(
I hope anyone can I help me out. Thanks in advance!

Are you on a stock rom ?

Yes, I'm using stock ICS 4.0.4. Any solution that might help?
Thank you.

Did you try to format the tab?
It may works

Thank you for your suggestion..I've already done factory-reset for the tab, but the problem is still there. Battery indicator still keeps on increasing. =(

standard thing to try whenever battery does weird stuff is use it till it shuts off, then WHILE TURNED OFF recharge completely and leave there for like 30 minutes after fully charging to make sure its "topped off" then see if the problem persists.

try hard reset or anther rom

Is this a rooted device? If not, have you contacted Samsung for support?

Being unrooted has that one major advantage. Calling for support could lead to a manufacturer warranty replacement if they can't figure it out. Whatever you do/figure out, plz report back. Good luck!

My friend is having the same issue with his tab 2. He gave it to the service station. They simply flash the latest firmware and gave it back. The problem still remains the same. Even doing a factory hard reset hasn't solve the issue.

I've had the same issue in the past. I cant remember how I fixed it but I think you should get rid of the issue by deledit the battery atats from recovery, whiping dalvik and fixing permission. This of course would require a rooted tab. If you are not rooted the contact samsung.

This was happened to my phone too.
You're USB Port is damaged. You need the replace it.

same Issue occured today
i also faced the same issue today... tried to analyze it... here are my observations
1) the battery was fine cuz i played dead trigger,wild blood and dead space for 1 hr and then played 1080 p videos for 45 min to see if battery has given up..
that wasnt the case
2) Factory reset/ data in stock unrooted rom dosent help...
3)After the battery reaches 100% and if u restart the tab. it will start from 3 or 4 % and increase again... basically i think battery level goes above 100% ( yeah i know it sounds weird) and on restarting it will see 104% as 4%...
4) usb OTG was working fine so i can't find the fault the usb.. and the tab was registering charging ( the green line in battery stats) on plugging in the charger....
So i concluded that maybe there is something wrong with software rom/kernel in the system...
Anyhow I gave it to the service center... hope this gets solved soon :fingers-crossed:
Update : The motherboard had to be replaced... Seems the charging port damage cause fits in... So anyone facing this problem has high chances the charging port is damaged even if it might work fine

[SOLVED] Phone restarts regularly on every rom

Hi everyone, my desire s is acting strange since few days back.. it keeps on restarting for no reason. At first I thought its due to kernel updates to modified kernel 3. But then I installed reaper gingerbread. It restarted when I opened camera.
Then I installed Nik's project x . Still same problem sometimes when I open camera or other heavy application.
It restarts continuously 5-6 times without completely booting and battery drains to 10-15% from 80-90% within 5 minutes..
I've not got this problem when in charging mode..
I'm now using ice_ds 4.3
If anyone have same problem before , is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance..

I get this too on all custom ROMS.. sometimes if I knock the phone a certain way it resets.. so it must be hardware related.
Can you let me know what your 'SOLUTION' is? All I see if the cause. Thx

my solution: buy new battery :laugh:
Put a bit of paper between the battery and the holder clip, that fixed it for me to keep the battery in place.

[Q] Can't Power On to my P6200 Galaxy Tab 7+ (3G+Wifi)

Anybody......please help me to my problems. I can't open (power on) or enter to recovery mode or downloading mode. I can't do anything to my device. Before happening things to my device, I left my device for 2 days without using it. I think it lack of battery power or something.
Now, can't do anything to it. My device is in ICS 4.0.4 Austria firmware and also rooted.
Please how can i cure my device?:crying:
Thanks all who read this in advance.
I had the same problem, I took it to servicing... they said the PCB(phone circuit board) was fried... got it replaced and its fine now....
Anyway, if anybody could fix it...I would be happy to learn the skill to do it myself....

Ahrrr...... Exchanging PCB??? It might be expensive. But I didn't do anything to brick hardware. :'(
Could you please tell me how much it is cost to exchange PCB?
Well I got it for free... that time my phone was still under warranty, and it was just dead,and I knew there was no way they(servicing people) would know about my rooted phone, so its dirty but I told them it just died, and got it replaced for free...lol... so I don't really know the cost...lol
If ur phone is still under warranty,maybe you could use the same technique ...
ICS stock recovery hv problem, many people have become bootloop / hardbricks after wipe using stock/temporary recovery. If u want to flash official ICS, u need to flash CWR to.
Hardbricks mean your main board dead and need to replace the new board.

One question please: If you connect the tablet to AC power for some time (at least ten minutes) appears then the green battery charging icon ? Or nothing ...
Edit : it's possible that the tablet goes to a deep discharge condition, very dangerous for Li-ion batteries...

Remove the battery for a while. While the battery is out, plug the phone in with both AC and USB charging.. this will help you see if it's a defective battery

What is curious is that whatever button combination you use, there is no response at all. And the phone was working without problem only a couple hours before. Even if I plug, there is no battery charging image.
Battery's dead?

Aw man and I thought I had it bad... lol. Good luck with this!
I would try getting your hands on another battery though. I don't think the phone would boot up without a recognizable battery whether it had enough power or not. Maybe someone that actually knows can say... Either way I'll try it with mine tomorrow (mine boots into fastboot and recovery at least) and let you know
Looks like trying out another battery might be the only next logical step. No response even when plugged in for charging indicates a possible battery issue.
hey...
you got a similar condition with my phone...
dont know what to do now...

I had read a lot of forums that said that with the JB upgrade (any type: AOSP, OTA, etc), after some time, theirs phones gone dead as well. Seems there is some problem with the bootloader that affect the mainframe (motherboard?). No one has been able to resolve this problem.

So you are saying that Jelly Bean bricks the Nexus S? Where have you read this? It seems like a very serious accusation/assumption.

I had the exact same thing happened to me. I installed a custom jb ROM (I was already using an earlier version of the same rom) and I noticed abnormal battery drain and in a few hours it died completely. No response at all. Tries different batteries, chargers, everything. I tried sending it in to get it fixed but I was told they found corrosion on the board which was true so it would coat 450 to fix! But I know for a fact that wasn't the reason why the phone was completely unresponsive. I went to wind to get it fixed and the guy told me that they've been getting a crap load of nexus s devices back for the exact same reason. This coincided with the jelly bean upgrade. There's definitely an issue happening with the upgrade but Google or Samsung aren't saying anything.

[Q]Does anybody else have Random Reboot problems?: Help!!!!

Factory reset the device. If that doesn't help, your device is probably faulty and you should return it.

You should try a hard reset and never turn wifi on. I have random reboots and freezes too (even with wifi off) and that solved to me.

with wifi turned off same problem nothing happened, phone rebbots during searching the web, during talking, same sh*t,
after hard reset during changing language it reboots 2 times, so with my ugly phone there is no problem with wifi but its a problem with cpu or ram vs rom.

Are you on the latest firmware for your region? What about cell signal? Did you install any apps after reset? I'm still trying to figure this phone out... I've been with Samsung 4ever and really want this phone to work right! But might have to cut my losses and go back to my S5

I don't think it's a Wi-Fi issues becuz I am facing the same exact problem, and I'm getting a replacement device too. Becuz it happens even when Wi-Fi is turned off. I think it has to do with the phone can't handle heavy loads when it's doing alot of multitasking the ram management is horrible real bad.

Yea it's just Samsung fault that's all. The only reason I am returning mines though is becuz I rooted it and tripped Knox and now they have came out with a method to root without tripping Knox lol so I am going to get a different one with Knox back to 0x0 but as for the random reboots only Samsung can fix that issue with a software update and don't hold your beath. Because only some devices are getting update which is so stupid.

Drain

Hello guys, im just new here and i have a little problem on my phone which is the battery...

I havent tried calibrating yet but im about to try it today, it drains 1% like every 20-30 secs.. my phones model is lenovo a7000-a and rooted.. any ideas? thank you in advance

The battery is beginnig to break down and fail. Replacement is the only fix, eventually it will get worse then quit on you.

Thank you, ive done calibration and seems to fix it a little, i think its just the device miscalculating the actual percentage of the battery, what do you think? Also to be specific , i just finished flashing a rom from lollipop to marshmallow back to the last version of lollipop .. problem doesnt seem to occure before i flashed :/

It would have been better if you had provided that information when you first posted. If you want help with issues, it helps for us to know the things that have been done to the device that potentially caused the issue.
Don't just say "I'm having "this" issue". This implies that the issue is a random issue that started on its own and not something you did to cause it.
It's better to say "I did "this" to my device, now my device is having "this" issue". This implies that something that you altered is causing the issue.
Failing to post the details we need about the situation leads to inaccurate or incorrect answers. It can even lead to receiving incorrect answers that don't help or answers that might make things worse for you.
If you flashed a ROM and then this started happening then yes, the battery may be out of calibration.
If it had started doing this on its own then I'd say it was the battery.
