Hi guys...being new here.
I thank XDA Developers for accepting me as a part of this largest mobile community on Earth.
I have been using Samasung Galaxy Mega 6.3 i9200 for the past 3 months. Everything worked seamlessly until the battery issue that popped up a week ago.
It takes over 9 hours to get charged up fully. Before it took just 1 n half hour to reach 90%.
Any idea what could be the problem? Replacement of the battery or an internal issue?

Hey guys, so I'm running Mango 7712, and my Samsung Focus battery only lasts for like 2 hours of actual use. For every 10 minutes of using the phone my battery loses up to 8%, and this is while not playing games or doing anything stressful to the battery. I can probably max out at 6 hours if I don't use the phone.
I don't have the best memory, but I remember my phone being able to last 4 or 5 hours of actual use. But I could be wrong, if you have a Focus, is it as bad as mine? Should I buy a new OEM battery? (And I've tried to recalibrate it, that didn't work, I think it made it worse actually)
Nope just you, my focus has amazing battery. Best out of any smartphone I've owned actually, it can easily last me two days of moderate use... one full day with heavy use (around 15 hours of heavy browsing with music and stuff.)
Im using stock NoDo though, dark background/theme auto backlight. Don't know if mango could have anything to do with your issues.
I have both omnia 7 and hd7 .
Funny thing is that both battery life last the same when surfing continously on 3g.

Yeah I dunno what's up with mine, it used to get me through the day before, now it just sucks. I've heard people say that Mango increased their battery life though. I'm gonna try buying a new OEM battery and see if that helps.
These phones have been out for less than a year so should be under warranty. I have had a weird anamoly a couple of times with my Focus though. Fully charged and when I rebooted it gave me low battery warning. Took battery out and back in and was back to normal. Has happened 3 times in the last 4 months.

That happened to me too! Like it was stuck at 1% even though it truly had 30% left, I left it like that until it died, and then it went back to normal.
Mine isn't bad. A far cry better than my 3gs. I can get about 10 to 13 hours of decent usage. It does go down to about 8 hours if I have music playing for most of the day.

Hi Ryken,
How old is the SIM card that you are using? I have read in other parts of the forum that people have had decreased battery life issues when using an old SIM, once they had it replaced with a new one the battery life increased considerably.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
This usually happens when flashing a new ROM - you need to let your battery recalibrate itself. There are a few examples of this in the forums.
if yr sim card is around 2 years or more, it may have worn out. the gold contacts may have worn out, so change to a newer one
I did this an dmy battery life has been great
yr sim card works 24 hours 7 days a week for 2 years, just imagine how much of a beating it has taken .
Well my sim card is 10 months old, I got it with my phone last November when WP7 launched. Is that old enough to be bad? I've bought a new Samsung battery, it should arrive tomorrow or Thursday, I'll tell you guys how that goes for me?

10 months is nothing to worry about
Hey Guys today i got a brand new Samsung Battery for 560INR with 6 months warrenty... The shop girl adviced me to do the following
1) Switch off the mobile and charge for 8 hours
2) Use mobile till the battery completely drains
3) Again switch off the mobile and charge it for 8 hours...
Anything else to be followed...Because i am expecting a 2 days backup from my new one...Guide me guys...
I don't believe it helps, but you can try wiping batterystats after its fully charged(after 8 hrs), then use the phone to 0% and do the same thing. If you don't do that, its fine too, I don't ddidnt do that on my galaxy 3 and has at least 2 days of backup so far
Cheers

Hello to the group.
I am a New owner of A Google Nexus S GT-i9020T
This is My second Android Device.
It has seen 2 OTA's
1, 3.0-3.2.6 (hours after Activation)(25 Days Ago)
2, 3.2.6-4.0.4 (One Week Ago)
I went on a 5 hour trip and used the Nexus S for GPS (Google Navigation) in Edge Data mode and a car charger connected and charging but after 3 hours the Battery was Dead.(Stock Battery)
My question for the group is;
Is this what I am to expect with the Nexus S GT-i9020T or is this a problem with the Phone/Battery?
I also own the Samsung Vibrant. (for 2 years)
Same exact setup/Charger using My Vibrant and My battery would actually Charge Up full. (Stock Battery) Weather I use ICS, Gingerbread or Froyo roms.
Any feedback on your GPS/Battery usage compared with mine will be helpful.
Other that this, The phone acts Very Good with the 4.0.4 OTA.
Battery lasts over 1day and a half for my usage and charges normaly.
Do I need to request A replacement? or is this normal?
I have Samsung galaxy tab the first version 3g and wifi running android 2.3 sometimes a sudden battery drop from 60% or 70% to 1% and asks to recharge this happened to me 3 months ago and again last week and yesterday and now today :/ I dont know whats the problem can you give me any possible solution please
regards
Hello everyone
I just bought my first pixel it's a pixel 1 32GB
I'm upgrading from a Nexus 6 32GB
I love my Nexus 6 but after changing the battery once it was time to upgrade
What I wanted was some advice from people who've used this phone
I'm thinking of going right to the Android Q beta
But I do want to root the phone
I would also like to transfer most of my data over before I sell the Nexus 6
Thanks for the warm welcome in advance
Hello mate, the Q beta is usuable now but the new scoped storage can be make some apps misbehave when using the storage permissions. TWRP recovery can be booted or flashed, check the thread for install instructions or just fastboot boot it when needed.
For root use magisk, not sure if its working on Q beta 6 but check the magisk threads for details on that. Last thing, once you've unlocked the bootloader leave oem unlock unlocked and never relock the bootloader unless you are 100% full stock or you'll end up bricked (plenty of threads on this)
Hope that some help
I am use to using the Nexus tool kit what is alternative for a pixel
1. No need to go for Android Q right as it is still in beta.
2. You could follow guide from google on phone switch: https://support.google.com/android/answer/6193424?hl=en
Hope you enjoy your new phone!
I also got OG Pixel about a week ago. I jumped right into beta 5 and it was amazing. I was getting about 5 hours SOT. Now i am on beta 6. I upgraded as soon as it was available. I got MASSIVE battery drain. Google app was draining battery but i disabled it. Still i got about 3:40 SOT twice. Overnight on Beta 6 i am losing 6-8% when on Beta 5 i was losing 1-2%. Right now i reseted my OG Pixel and will test if it's fixed.
Thanks guys the Phone was shipped From Windsor today should reach my Home with in the next 10 days
Looking forward to Change from my Nexus 6 (best phone I ever owned ) but she's old slow now
Update Phone Came today at 8:30 AM I charged it and install My Apps and Android Q Beta
I am getting around 3 Hours on the Battery is this Normal ?
3 hours isn't unexpected for an OG Pixel with the original battery. They're 3 years old. They're still fine phones, but an $80 trip to ubreakifix might be in order. Batteries are only good for a couple of years. Planned obsolescence since they stopped putting user replaceable batteries in phones. Oddly, lots of people buy into the thin (hard to hold), no bezel (no drop protection and hard to hold), no audio jack (no real reason why not), no SD card (why let the user pay $30, when they can charge $100 for the same?), expensive (bragging rights) phones with a 2 year lifetime. Go figure.

3 Hours doing what? I noticed that when on LTE it drains battery on beta 6 even when you do not use mobile data and signal is strong. My nexus 5 does not do this. I hope they will fix this in final release.
I get around 4:30-5:00 SOT using LTE and manually switching to 2g when i do not need mobile data. WiFi about 40-50 minute gaming (on the way to work and back daily), youtube, browsing and messenger lite.
I also noticed that it drains battery overnight too much. About 5%. Still my nexus 5 on andorid 9 loses only 2% overnight and it has much worse battery (4 years old) and smaller capacity (2300 original but now i think no more then 1900 mah).
For example my Pixel is 2 years and 1 month old it was manufactured on 12 july 2017. Check your serial number in about phone -> model and hardware. First 2 letters show where was your device manufactured. Third digit is year 6 -> 2016 7->2017. Next digit is month 5-may, 6-june, next LETTER is day in english alphabet B->2. That's it.

Bit of slate reply but just go custom or flash GSI. I've just got a really blue OG pixel, needs a new battery but once that is done I'll be going custom/GSI route to exte d its life span.
