I have another problem with battery. I charge TP for 6 hours. after that time it still showing CHARGING, round light bimkning and when I enter battery, it shows 50-70% and charging! when I make soft reset it show full and stop charging, anyone knows how to fix this?, I'm worring about my battery I have oryginal rom. Thanks for reply.
I know that it is in other tread but I try to find solution
Are you using the supplied charger?
This happened to me when I tried to charge it with a Motorola V3 charger.
yes, the original charger is one amper powered which is very strong, all other chargers I have in my car or whereever output much smaller amount in milliampers (starting from 200 mA even). BUT never forget that slower charging is always better to preserve battery durability

oryginal delivered with TP
How long did you charge it the very first time?
dificult to say, i thing over 8 hours, but battery is really ok, it keeps 2-4 days.
i think i got close to an hour wait for 3/4ths charge
so prob about an hour and a half for max???
I had this same problem yesterday. It was at 30% after 4 or 5 hours of charging, then after I reset it, it was at 100%...
had same prob. Fixed after hard reset

You sure you don't mean soft reset? some people make this mistake all the time and it makes for horrible advice to n00bs.

HARD reset help
I had this problem and was hesitant to do a hard resent and have to reload and re-enter all my settings.
Turns out I was charging through USB that was connected to a cheap hub that didn't supply enough power to charge the phone. Connecting my sync-USB cable straight to the computer fixed it all.
Silly oversight but it might help somebody with the same issue.
hmm, mine started doing this a few days ago...i do remember I used to have the usb charge hooked up directly to the computer but i noticed it was now connected to the usb hub. Let's hope hooking it directly to the computer fixes it...i can't rmember when i switched it to the hub ;p
EDIT:
yep, connecting it directly to the computer fixed it
Thanks!
even charging throught eh computer is slower than plugging it into teh wall. the usb charging only sends SOME of the power to the phone and therefore takes much more time than charging through a wall outlet...
Same thing happened to my wife's TP. Using Stock 1.90. When charging it would reach 85% and stop there irregardless of how many hours I charged it after that but after using the TP car charger it would resume the charge and reach 100%. So the TP would be normal for a few days and then the same problem would occur. Don't know why though but I would use the car charger to normalise it as soft resetting doesn't work.
Where as I'm using the Stock 5.05 euro without any probs....
i to have been having problems with battery life, and ive noticed as previously mentioned a significant differance between usb and mains charging. i charge my tp every night and last month i started to leave it on the usb rather than putting it on the mains in the bedroom. it was then i noticed a drastic drop in batterly life, after a full day at work (12hr approx) and average use ( txts/emails/games/vids) i wa left with only 10-15% battery. but when i returned to mains charging the same usage now leaves me with 45-55% battery. so now i just stick to mains charging through the night. just my 2 cents
This is what solved my problems...
Turn off your phone and plug it in to the wall, wait until it is fully charged. Then you can turn your phone on, and use it like you regularly would, but use it until you run out of battery, I mean 0%, it turns off randomly. Don't charge it again till it's fully drained.
Then fully charge it again, this time don't plug the phone back in until it reaches 1 or 2%.
Hope that helps!

yep, that's because the USB does not deliver the full power to teh device. that's why charging it via the supplied charger is much more efficient and powerful and lasts longer. USB should not be used to charge unless necessary for this reason
I had the same problem with I first got my Fuze. I even tried the ritual draining and recharging but nothing worked.
So I called AT&T and they swapped my battery for a new one. Problem solved.

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.

Thanks. I know all of this as I have a regular evo. The shift is my wife's. I don't believe what you are describing is the issue. Hmm

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)
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
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.

Glad you got it all sorted :cyclops: .
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
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.

I had the same issue for a bit. Someone said to try disconnecting and reconnecting the usb from the power block about 4 or 5 time relatively quickly and that fixed it for them... tried it and have not had an issue since even when connected to an extension. But also make sure its firmly in.
Oh.. and do this with the note plugged into the mini end of course
I have to say that I have been very happy with the crazyondigital wall charger that was bundled with my case. I used the OEM charger for the initial charge but began using the crazyondigital charger because it's more convenient due to the fact that it's longer. It also seems to charge more qiuckly. Perhaps slow charging with the OEM charger has something to do with the USB wall wart wiring design.
I seem to have the same type of problem I had mine on charge for 2 days now I done nothing different in the way I normaly charge, I tried both having ny note off over nite and with it on both with no luck, both time my note not fully charged.
This started on Friday gone,
If this dont charge soo. I will try factory reset since thats the other option bar getting a new charger

Had the same problem yesterday. my note went out of energy and shut down. So, after a while I connected it with the cable to charge. And what happened? After a hole night I got only 50% -.- I was like wtf?? then I tried the galaxy s3 charger and there was a red cross on the battery icon. Then I tried the note charger, again nothing, and like the other poster said, after a few times in and out it worked again.
another one here with slow charging, this is a big problem, its so slow it means it drains when you are using the tablet when its plugged in, you should be able to use it and charge at the same time. I could understand if it didnt charge much when I was using it but to not charge at all is a real fail.
Has anyone logged this issue to samsung?
Nothing has solved this problem for me.
Taking 8 hours to charge 79% is just beyond comprehension. Can't use it plugged in as it drains anyway. I want a update asap or I'm ditching this tab.
I don't know what caused this, it was fine a few weeks after the update and suddenly crippled.

So it's not the update then? If it was fine for a few weeks and then suddenly crippled JB is not the problem.
More likely an Application is NOT properly compliant with JB and is draining battery or hogging

Nothing shows up as running and hogging the battery. It doesn't drain fast once charged. It just charges slow.

Indeed, it charges so slow it drops when you are using it plugged in, if anyone has registered their tab properly with samsung perhaps they could log a fault, I havent had chance to do this yet.
Also, has anyone tried switching back to stock to see if it resolves it?
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
