Last night I heard my phone vibrate when I was falling asleep. Checked it t, and it wouldn't turn on. After holding down the power, it finally turned on, and I turned it face down and went back to sleep. In the morning it wouldn't power up... Out of juice. I plugged it in, powered it up, checked my battery stats, and saw that it had fallen off a cliff at around 10:30 pm (see screen shot below). I'm coming up on the fourteen day deadline for trading in the phone. Do you think I should trade it in for a new one? I've had no other problems with this Note 7.
Edit: by the way, I'm running stock, not rooted.

Ok I have searched and not found anything like this yet so I am going to ask. I know the phone has battery problems all around for a lot of people. Mine seems to be fine when it is on. It can sit and idle powered on all day locked and stay at full charge. It runs about 10 hours with minimal use and maybe 8 hours with some data use and a few calls and texts. Now I am experiencing a wired problem. When I go to work we cannot have cell phones. I leave my phone in my locker and power it off. After my 12 hour shift is up at work I come back to the phone with a dead battery? What could be causing this? And has anyone else noticed this issue?
defective battery? pull the battery and see if it still does it. If it does, gotta be a defective battery.. if it doesn't do it when pulled, you're not shutting off the phone maybe?
Yesterday I tried leaving the battery out. I took the battery out and let it sit 12 hours and it still had full charge when I put it back in. When I go to work I long press on the power/lock button and choose Power off then I watch it shut down and it just dies before I come back. I wish I could watch it the whole time. Today I left the phone off for around 6 hours and came back and it was fine though. Maybe it gets turned on some how at work. I have no idea. Or when I go to power it on it is just the issue where the phone isn't reading battery % correctly and it just says 0%
Seems like a battery driver issue or a defective battery? definitely call t-mobile and check if it's the battery. I've had some issues as well, but not that bad.
Weird.
So the phone powers off after you turn the screen on and it won't come back on? Try putting the phone in airplane mode.
Also, I'm assuming you are running the stock roms?
Might also want to check into a battery monitor to see if any 1 thing is pulling it down.
I think it might just be the battery driver. Sounds like the phone is in suspend so it doesn't power off properly until the screen is turned on and is revived, updating the battery % status, seeing 0%, and turning off.
CM7 fixed the wonky battery issue a few nights ago. Right now, I think a current CM based rom is the best bet as it has most of the drivers fixed. I'ved used mine pretty heavily today, unplugged at 8am and I just got a 15% battery warning at 11:30pm. It will usually last until I go to bed at midnight but I might want to play with it some more.
Hey guys. I always restart my phone before I go to bed, and I never charge it overnight. I just charge it the 1,5 hrs I have before I leave the house in the morning.
Usually this works fine, but this morning the phone was very hot. Very very hot. I've never held a so hot handset before. I had to hold down power and volume to even get it on.
It went from 60-ish to 27% overnight and as you can see from the screenshot, there's a hole in the graph, with no apps apparently being logged as consumers overnight.
Anyone got any ideas about this?

Click to expand...

might want to do a full charge and see if problem persists. meaning 0-100%
1. Clear all app in task manager. Restart phone sometimes.
2. To force phone shutdown, press both Power button + Volume up button at same time.
For the last few weeks, I've noticed that most days my watch won't stay on all day. It will just randomly power off and when I try to power it back on the screen will light up with the start up screen and then go back off. When I get home and put the watch on the charger, the battery is rarely dead. In fact the lowest I've seen the battery when I've put it on the charger is around 46%. So, why does my watch just arbitrarily turn off (and not come back on) when the battery is clearly not drained? Anybody else experience this issue?
I had an incident with the watch. Went on swiming pool and barbecue all day long. The water lock mode was on.
After some hours the watch turned off.
Then I started to charge it and for some reason it was dead. (red light blinking). I was able to see micro particles of water inside the back of the watch.
I placed it on rice and next day it turned on. But all sensors were dead.
Reset and nothing.
Then I left it turned off at the charger for like 12 hours and I can back to life.
In the middle of the process the update came along. I tried to install it hoping to get sensors back.
After everything the battery last about 10 or 12 hours.
Even when in "battery save mode" it wont last longer.
When I charge it, when it hits 100% instead of green light, sometimes it keep charging for a while.
I 'm not sure if the battery needs calibration or if it is something else.
I tried to *#0228# at dial and I can see battery information. But I dont have parameter to compare
What to do?
Sending to samsung is not an option. I bought it in another country and they don't offer services.
Have you fix it?
Hi,
recently I replaced my old S7 with a brand new, sealed OG Pixel. I got the Pixel only to serve as my backup phone and for some photo storage.
I got the phone, charged it and set it up, updated it and powered it off and topped off battery. I turned on the phone the next day to put on some used apps and thought "hmm I could swore I charged it fully" so after I topped the battery up and turned it off again.
I turned it on the next day because the battery drain was bugging me as I knew I fully charged it them other days.... turned it on and it was back down to 70%
I thought I would factory reset my phone to hope that would somehow fix it … reset my phone and skipped setup so no wifi etc. and made sure I was at 100% before powering off at 8:30pm that night. The next morning at 9am I powered it back on to see.... 71%
Why would this be happening? how can the battery drain 30% while powered off?
