Note 5 Battery bug? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

I've noticed lately on my Note 5, running stock on MM, T-Mobile, that once it reaches 5% left of battery life, the drain to 0% is very quick, and I let it get down to that point because of work, I have no charger there, but the phone dies so quick once it hits 5%. When I plug it in the charger it automatically goes to 6%, right away, as if the battery wasn't calibrated. Anybody has this issue? Or its normal?

anyone else with horrible battery calibration

Well Im not saying the battery life itself is bad, but well for example, I just drained the battery completely (phone shut down by itself) and within about 2 minutes of putting the charger back in the indicator read 70%.
Im currently using the method where i run it down to 1% then fully charge, rinse and repeat. (Just started doing this)

no problems here, but apparently half the people in the battery threads have issues with battery life.
hmmm, well I just want to get this right because it gets annoying when it says 100% battery then goes down in about 20 minutes
I've had issues with battery life indication on my Omnia 7.
I can have it showing 70%, then it would suddenly drop to showing around 10%. Then by turning off and on several times it will sort itself out and show the correct amount.
This has only happened once or twice mind...
No problem here on my HTC 7 pro. Though I did calibrate one battery and not the spare, both perform the same.
I have no problems either on my omnia 7

No issues on my Focus. Maybe this is a device specific issue?

No problem with my trophy but a good practice to keep you battery in shape is to start charge at 15-20% (dont leave it until is dead is bad for the battery) and dont charge it to 100% ...stop charging at 90-95% ...
That is what i do with all my mobile devices and rarely i have probs with my batterys.

Is it safe to charge the battery overnight?

Is it safe to charge the battery overnight?
I mean, charging more than 100%, charging over the 3-4 hours needed, charging for 7-8 hours..
I think it won't effect it cuz i charge my phone from overnight too.nothing happens.
when battery gets full it stops charging after that
Of course
I've been doing that for a year.
Usually my battery reaches 10% at the end of the day, then I just leave it charging over night.
Thanks, i've been doing it since I bought the phone but I've never really cared until now..
Do you guys turn off the phone before charging overnight?
No. I don't know how does it affect the quality/capacity of battery though!
I remember as a kid I had those RC-cars and there were always warnings about how it will 'destroy' the battery if it is charged for too long. lol.
I don't have any battery problems.
Just make sure your LED isn't turned on!
I once forgot it on overnight...
It's a little dimmer now. :c
They said once it reachs 100% to stop charging. It can have an negative impact on your battery. Lithium technology or not. But I do it too. I think it just shorten the life span on a slow scale.

Here is the thing...
Yes the phone has a voltage shut off when it reached 100%.
However, it will start to drain battery immediately once it cuts off charging. Even when idle with teh screen off it uses some power. And once it drops to 99% it will start charging again until it reached 100%.
Depending on your set up and how much the phone runs when idle it would keep 'topping off' the battery several times overnight. This is harsh on the battery.
So it's not like once it cuts off charging it stays off until it's unplugged and replugged in. It'll keep charging everytime it drops to 99%

Issue with battery info on 44S.

Hello, how are you?
I have an issue with my OPO.
It is currently running 44S.
The issue is:
I charge it fully with the original wall charger.
Unplug and then star using the phone.
The battery remains on 100% for longer than usual.
Then it starts coming down.
When the battery gets around to 30%, the phone switches off.
I plug it and there is the message that the battery is too low and that I should charge it a bit before turning the phone on.
This then repeats itself after I charge.
My observation is that the battery remaining info is not correctly calibrated and that 30% should actually be 0%.
The battery life is normal. It just doesn't give me the correct info on battery remaining.
Anyone else have this issue?
Ideas on how to fix it?
Cheers!

how many charge cycles you been through? let it fully drain and then charge too 100% without stopping a few time. also, there are a few battery drain/calibrator apps to help you in the play store

Battery drains fast after unplugging the charger (from full-charge)

Hey guys! I've been having this problem since I charged the phone (N5) for the first time. Whenever I unplug the charger after getting to 100% the battery drains pretty fast, if I go to the battery section in the phone right after unplugging it cell standby or phone idle or google services go up to 50%. I'm thinking that maybe this has to do with the tension when the phone is unplugged. If I use the phone for about 10 or 20 minutes after unplugging it from full-charge it goes to normal, these draining apps decrease in percentage and everything goes to normal.
Do you guys have any idea what could cause that problem?
Thanks.
Crazy thought... It's a percentage....

Battery issue, software or hardware?

Hello,
I bought a second hand S6, and after some while I noticed a battery issue.
While discharging, everyting is normal until about 11-12%, when it drops to 5% and then continues like normal, 4-3-2-1-shutdown.
If I put the charger even for a second in any percentage below 5% it jumps to 8-9% , and then contunues the discharge from there without missing capacity.
If again I continue to charge without disconnecting, if goes lets say from 1% to 8% instantly and then continues charging like normal.
Is this normal for an old phone? Or can I fix it somehow?
I had never noticed anything like that in any of my android phones before, ever 3 years old.
I have already deleted battery stats, and performed 2-3 times full charge/discharge cycles, without results
The ROM is original 6.0.1 rooted.
Hello,
Tried at 100% and stayed at 100%
Should I try at 10% or 1% ?

It happens for me too. It's just Samsung's failure. Sometimes my battery jumps %1 to %17 when i plug the charger.
To be honest, you can't do anything about it.
I did the proceadure at 14% it dropped to 0% after some seconds and then shut down.
I charged it OFF but when it reached 95% went to 100% in seconds.
When I unplug at 100% and wait 5 minutes (always OFF) at next connection to charger showed 95%.
So it took me 1 hour of intermitted charges to reach 100% and stay there.
We'll see what happens next. I'll keep you updated.
