I am having trouble with my galaxy s 4g. Recently my battery started acting up ( randomly restarting, not holding charge, etc) and I noticed a bump on the battery so I decided to purchase a new one. I did that, and made sure it was the same type of battery yet it will not work. The original charge it came with worked on my phone, but the problem came when I had to charge it. The new battery wont charge and the phone keeps restarting, or just stays off. I was using a custom rom and kernel, so I reverted back to stock and it still will not charge.
tldr Got a new battery, it won't charge the phone keeps restarting, or will stay off. I have reverted back to stock with no luck.
I just bought an 1800 mah battery and it died within a week. Although not charging could be due to a bad USB connector
If your original battery will still charge correctly (even though it's old, just try to charge it) then I'd say it's a battery issue. Getting batteries from third parties is always iffy.

I had the infuse on the AC charger the other day, when I took it off, it had a message stating charging stopped because of battery temperature. Now battery will only charge to 35% no matter how long its plugged in. Also when phone is off the charger, phone is getting very warm to the touch and the phone is not being used. Do you think I need a new battery or is the charging circuit messed up? Thanks for any input!!!

If your able to plug it in and it shows it's charging then there is noting wrong with the circuitry. Your gonna need to replace the battery.
A new battery is much cheaper than a new phone.
Batteries heat up as the internal resistance increases over time. As Axiomkid suggests, get another battery. Do it soon. Old (or defective batteries) overheating run the risk of shorting, leaking, or exploding.
Better yet get two batteries and maintain them properly ie discharge to 10%, recharge to 100%, then swap out with another battery and let the recharged battery cool down.
Tried a new battery, it charged to 100%... but drained 50% in one hour. When I charged it again same problem is still happening. Thanks for all that helped.

You might need a new charger too. are you using the original Samsung charger? Try charging it from a PC too. The 50% drop in the charge could be a calibration issue too. It would improve that reading over the first few charges with the new battery.
yes i am using original charger, i have use a captivate phone charger as well. i think they are both the same. i'm thinking something is wrong with the phone because after charging and taking the phone off, the phone is getting really hot without being on the charger. like the phone is being used but it's not. could maybe the rom cause an issue like this? i'm thinking maybe trying to flash the phone with a stock rom and see how much the battery drains
Problem solved!!! Reflashed ROM and all is good

Glad to hear your problem is solved! Was that the root cause with your first battery as well?
My battery has started acting strangely for quite a while now. Essentially what happens is that when I try to charge it, it usually jumps straight from around 50% to 100%. Then, when I unplug it, it will act as if it is discharging normally for around 5%, then it'll jump down to around 45% and discharge normally. And it doesn't happen consistently, once in a while it will charge properly. It happens whether I am using a wall, car, or USB charger. I believe it started when I installed a nightly of CM 7.2 a while back, but it's still happening to me in SBF'd 608, and it could have started when I was still on CM 7.1. I downloaded a battery calibration app, and tried that several times, but it didn't help. Does anyone have any advice?
buy a $5 spare battery charger from amazon or ebay http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006EB6LSY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-4779849-7188200

battery is bad, or phone isn't charging correctly

That will fix the symptoms, but I was hoping to figure out how to actually fix it. The battery charges perfectly fine in another D2G, and it charged fine in mine on 608 last night, so it's not the battery. It looks to me like a software issue. I'm going to see if it keeps doing alright on stock, and if it does, I guess I can assume it's a Cyanogen issue. Or an issue with my install of Cyanogen, anyways.
Use another d2g to charge the battery to 100%, then put the battery into your d2g, start up the phone, plug in the charger for about 15 minutes,delete /data/battd and /data/system/batterystats.bin, power off the phone without unplug the charge, after the phone finished power off, unplug the charger.start up the phone and use it normally to it automatically power off,fully charge the battery without start up

I've been having issues too with my droid 2's battery lately, not the same exact issue you are having, but it's like when I plug it to the wall to charge, sometimes (randomly and not often) it won't recognize my battery and won't start charging and a '?' icon will appear on the battery (if the phone is turned off). I've been reading about this and people say that if you 'calibrate' your battery, the problem will be gone, so check in the Google Store for a battery calibration app and follow the steps. Good luck on it !

Hey everyone, On my rogers optimus 3d I've installed a couple of weeks ago korean ICS to my phone with TWRP no problem except some stability and things like this.
I then recently received 2 backup batteries to get the phone past a day without charging it and everything is working fine.
My problem is that now the phone seems to think every of my 3 batteries (even the original one) can't get past 1% of charge even after a full night of charge.
I've tried also on my external charger that came with the batteries, they get a red light saying it's charging for about a couple of minutes then turns blue to say it's fully charged (a perfectly normal behaviour for these charger on a healty battery that's almost fully charged). Even after the external charger saying the battery is full, phone keeps recognising it as a 1% battery.
I've tried the app called Battery Calibration Free and it did pretty much nothing to help.
Also tought about wiping battery stats, but this option seems to be absent from TWRP.
I also did my homeworks and found this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511039&page=4 with ppl getting almost the same problem as I did but on gingerbread
Anyone any idea because i'm starting to get mad because the phone can't even handle 10minutes with it's 3 batteries...
So I've got a rooted HTC Sensation 4G on Cyanogenmod 9 and I've been experiencing an issues that's really getting on my nerves. I bought a new Anker battery as the stock one sucks, for awhile I've had no issues until recently. If I turn the phone off and try and charge it with the Anker battery, the LED flashes orange indicating it won't charge. But yet when the phone is on, it charges no problem. Is there any possible fix for this or am I stuck having to keep the phone on at all times?
I've also tried different ROM's and whipped the battery stats to no avail.
I should also add, I've attempted to use multiple chargers.
Hello all,
Ive changed the battery in phones labratory.
The new battery is original lg oem anf seemed
Perfectly fine.
Since I changed it,
The battery precentage is stuck on 17℅
I see the lighning bolt as if though its charging
But the battery precentage doesent change.
When I enter the battery it says not charging.
Do I need to calibrate or the battery is bad?
Please advise.
Thanks
Does the same thing happen when you put back your old battery? If it does, it could be a motherboard connection problem.
I've changed the battery in a few Nexus 5 phones using 3rd party batteries from Aliexpress and I never experienced a situation similar to yours. When I replaced the battery, I put the phone on a wired charger while powered off. I waited until the battery was fully charged booted the phone, and everything seemed fine. It's better months since I changed these batteries and they all seem to be working with a wired and wireless charger.
