Hi guys,
I'm running cataclysm + elemental kernel and everything was working fine but from Saturday to Sunday i let the phone's battery goes down to 0. Next day, i connected the charger to the nexus 5 and the phone was not able to boot. My apps were being optimized and it never completed for all aps. So, i let the phone charge 30 minutes and then i was able to turn it on. Now the problem is, the phone charged extremely slowly and never reached 100, only 98?? Another thing, is that now my battery is draining quickly. It drained 15% over night without anything turned on (not even WIFI) and checked with GSAM battery and android system was with 26% of usage . It could be anything related with the charger?? It has been working fine for more than a year. I would like to try to understand what might be the problem before trying return to stock and check if it solves this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I tried now to connect it to my laptop and the device isn't recognized at my laptop. I already tried with two USB cables. At the bootloader it was able to recognize it, but not always. I'm getting scared that might be a hardware issue. Please, anyone has any idea of what might be happening??
Thanks a lot!

Hi All,
Got this funny problem since I have flashed TNT WM6.1.
My mobile battery shows some funny traits.
1. It can suddenly go off (even if the bar is at 87% or 63% or 30% or anything of that sort)
2. Once it goes off, it gets into a loopback of restarting the device, goes upto the screen where WM6.1 logo appears and restarts again.
3. The only way I can then get it restarted is to get it to plug to a powersource.
4. When I plugin it shows within 5 min that the battery is fully charged.
5. I use audio manager a lot and its like every 30 seconds 1% of battery is gone.
Have search through the forum but haven't found anything like this.
Anyone has face a similar problem and found any solution?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I am on SPL/IPL 3.08.
Time for a new battery....
I ran across the same problem. It turned out that the terminals on the battery were seriously worn down so much that the battery couldn't hold a charge to safe it's life let alone mine!!!! I went to a battery store and replaced the muthaf^$#a!!!!!
Go grab a new battery and you'll be electric sliding again in no time!!!!
Thanks Trej3k. Much appreciate your response.
Yeah
Had the same issue.
Replaced the battery ... and now everything is fine.
Now I don't expect 5 days without recharge but at least 2 days.
Along with the new battery I bought an battery charger so now I can use two batteries.
The nice thing is that the old battery is lasting at least as the new one, Maybe because of the charging more regularly and not so frequently and because both batteries never go in usage when they are hot of charge.
Try your thing

I had the same problem pretty soon after I flashed my ROM for the first time. I would charge to 100% and then browse the Internet or take a call, and the device would reset within a couple of minutes b/c it would think it was out of power. The timing may have been a coincidence; I don't know. I bought an extended battery and everything works fine now.

I had the exact same problem right after flashing to wm6. I really wonder if it's a coincidence.
I ordered a new battery today because I have exactly the same problem. I also apeared after flashing WM6.1 a while ago an became worse with time. Since my battery is 3 years old, it could also just be a battery at its end of life...

Hello All,
This is my first post, hope someone sees it and can help me.
I've had my G1 for about a year and a half and finally decided to root it. I did TONS of reading and research before starting because I really didn't want to brick my phone being it is my daily user. I successfully rooted it and loaded the CM6 ROM. Everything was working fine, except the battery.
Now I will admit one thing I did wrong, when reading the tutorial, it stated to make sure I had a full battery before rooting the phone. I had something like 45% and was simply impatient. I went through the whole process and by the time I was done it was down only to 43%. Battery life while using the phone normally is actually pretty good, however my issue is the following:
My battery drains instead charges while the phone is turned on. In order for me to charge the battery at all, the phone has to be turned off. So if i'm tethering the phone, or even if I hook up my phone to the computer to access the sd card, or if use the wall charger, the battery actually goes down.
Now i've read tons of forum threads on battery issues with the G1 after rooting, particularly after loading CM5. I've actually downgraded back to the stock ROM that I used when I first rooted, because I thought that CM6 was what might be causing this issue, but it's still doing the same thing, (backwards charging when plugged in aka draining the battery instead of charging it when plugged in and powered on) although not as fast as before.
I've also tried this tutorial I found on cyanogenmod forums called BATTERY DRAIN ISSUE FIXER-UPPER with no success.
(tried posting the link, but wasn't able to because this is my first post)
Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I seem to be having the exact problem...
Do you get the charging indicator light when trying to charge while the phone is off or at anytime while trying to charge?
Hey guys, i've seen some other threads about batteries being stuck at 100% but they were generally with rooted devices so i figured i'd make one here.
The Problem
My infinity will charge fine, usually 1% per minute and when discharging going from 100% to 35% in about 5 hours screen on time, mainly using web apps, no real gaming, maybe dead trigger for 20 mins per charge. However when i take my tab off the charger it will stay at 100% for over 45 mins, and most recently over 1h 20m, causing the battery reading to be way off. Today it randomly shut down claiming i had 20% left.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like i said device is non-rooted and i dont have much interest in rooting it. Problem started just before we got the Jelly Bean update, and i got the tab in mid august, so it was working fine for a couple months.
The next logical step would be to factory reset and contact asus if that doesn't solve anything. I was hoping to avoid that if you guys had any tips or tricks.
Thanks
My TF700T has just started doing this. So your not the only one. I've only just started to search around for a solution.

I suggest you make a backup then do a a factory reset (twice). After that check to make sure this issue is gone, before re install any apps. If this doesn't resolved the issue, you need to reflash the full Asus firmware. This eliminated your software issue, and the last 1% chance is your hardware.(but very rare).

I've done as you suggested. Including factory reseting the tablet twice.
I've had the tablet off the charger for 14 hours and 28 minutes. And it's still showing 100%...
Worth noting: It was fully charged with the dock this morning. I've taken the tablet off the dock and used it for the day and it's still 100%
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
Same problem here, started two days ago, the transformer shuts down at ˜33-35%. Installed battery monitor app and it reports ˜500mAh still availble just prior to the shutting down. After it shuts down it's dead until I plugg it the power chord, it charges to 100% but then the same story again, shutting down at 33-35% remaining battery left. I've tried the battery calibration app which deletes the batterystats.bin file but that didn't do anything. Also tried three factory resets without any success... I'm on stock ROM but rooted.
Any ideas to what to try now? Or should I wait for the next firmware upgrade and see if the reflashing of the firmware will resolve this?
How do I reflash the installed firmware version, want to try that next...

What do your power saver settings show under settings?
Mine are at 10%
Have you factory reset your tablet recently?

Everything in power saver settings is left default, 15%. But the transformer never reaches that level..
Oh, and I also have the same behaivor as the orginator of this thread, the battery shows 100% for good while after a full charge until it stops dropping, forgot to mention that. My tablet is four month old and this just started... Unfortunaltey is feels like a HW issue with the battery reporting the wrong remaining charge to the OS... But I will wait for a new firmware to see if a reflash resets the battery configuration somehow.

My TF700 shut down at 25% battery today. I think it's time to contact ASUS to see what they can do.

Try to poweroff your device and let it stay down for 1/2 hrs, then power it back on see if that resolved your issue.
You need to recalibrate the battery.

This is what I did. except I left it plugged in over night, then unplugged it, turned it on and it is back to normal.

I tried this to no avail. Worth noting the device was off for about 5 hours when the battery went flat. I've also tried turning it off and charging it.
I have a TF700 on a TF300 dock, and I have found that if I unplug the tablet from the dock, while the dock is plugged into the wall, it stays at that battery level until I plug it back into the keyboard. Deleting batterystats.bin, turning it off, waiting long enough for it to get to 8.4V, and then doing a cold boot seems to fix it.
Cannot post in appropriate category yet so I have to post here and hope someone can help. I clean flashed this rom the other day (did everything properly), and the issue I keep having is that now my battery won't charge, and battery drain is horrendous (about 3 hours from 100 to 0). If my phone is off and plugged in, charging does not occur after 5%. After my phone dies it is almost impossible to get it charged to 100% again. Even plugged in it stays alive at 0% and does not charge. I have rebooted the phone on and off the charger (which was suggested in the forum) and that did not help. I really like this rom other than that, and even if I wanted to flash a different one I can't with 0-5% battery left. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
RE:
Did you try replacing the battery with either OEM replacement or aftermarket equivalent? It's possible the battery may be bad, yes it happens.

Yes I did. I Used my GF's battery (also gs3) to see if it would charge as well. It did not. It has something to do with this rom. My phone has been dead for 2 days now and will not charge. Anyone have any other suggestions?
To be more specific: Several people on this rom have noticed that if you reboot on the charger it causes a wakelock that does not go away. It is then suggested to reboot off the charger and that will make the wakelock go away. It seems like regardless of what I do, the wakelock will not go away.

That's very strange have you tried to Odin back to stock and start from scratch by keeping the phone charging via USB.
I did some checking around and I personally haven't found another solution to this.
I've been having this problem for the past 4 days, my Nexus S won't charge beyond 38%. I was due for a battery replacement, I got that today, and even that wouldn't charge beyond 38%, after reaching 38%, it says charged. Please help
A friend of mine had the same issue with his galaxy Nexus.
I am not sure if he did what i him worked. He never said anything to me.
1. Use your phone until it dries out and shut down on its own.
2. Start it up to make sure that it immediately shut downs from the lag of juice.
3. Plug in the phone, when it is off and let it charge to 100% ( do not start the phone until then )
4. Repeat the same proccess once more.
This might help set the battery stats that you have for your old battery that are saved on your droid.
If you are rooted it might help to cleat the battery statistics as well.
I'll try it tonight and post back

Your battery is gone. Order a replacement from shopcules.com
Sent from my P5100 Samsung Galaxy Note 8
I did get a new battery, still gives the same problem. And for some reason I'm not able to keep the phone off, every time I do that it just switches back on.

Couldn't get the phone to charge in off state, kept switching back on, and reached the same percentage and stopped charging. Also used battery calibrator app to clean the battery stats. :/
