[Q] Bad battery?? Tests performed..

So ive mentioned this before, but never was i as sure as i am now, since i tested wt 3 other one x's and i seem to be the one having this issue. My phone usually takes 3+ hours to charge while not in use or completely turned off, sometimes even 4 hours, but thats not the wierd part. The wierdness of this is, from 1% to 80% my phone charges normally and sometimes in about a hour and a half, maybe even in an hour (super fast) but from 81% to 100% it can take anywhere between an hour or as long as 3 full hours...... Ive tried every ROM available for the one xl and all kernels too, not to mention various setups, battery saving methods, etc... And the issue still presists. I tried with my aunt's unrooted 2.20 one xl, a friend's rooted one xl running sense and my neighbor's rooted one xl running cm10 and all 3 charged normally in about 2 hours or 2 hours and a half and charging never slowed down from 1 - 100%, it was constant and normal... Mine charged faster than all 3 one xl's from 1% to 70ish %, but as expected they all hit 100% long before mine even reaches 90%... Ive tried calibrating my battery, charging with the phone completely off, charging while in recovery, charging with a pc, charging underclocked at 1ghz and all processes and apps closed and in deep sleep, etc...... Could this be a bad battery or something battery related? Aside from charging, my phone gives me an average of 12-16 hours before i have to plug it in with moderate usage and about 3-4 hours of on screen time, so the battery seems fine while in use, the bad part is only when charging... Any help/opinion/suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advanced!

That's the same for me. I'm pretty sure that when you have low battery the phone gives you a "fast charge". But the last bit takes a long time.

aah so thats what fast charge is? but now i wonder why the other 3 one xl's i tested didnt do this

Battery charges slowly

Hi everyone I have a problem.
When I charge my battery it charges normally to 70 % after that it takes about 3 to 4 hours to charge till it reaches 100 % but if I reboot my device when it's charged to about 75% the Battery is suddenly fully charged.
I have tried to calibrated it but it didn't help.
I have this problem on every rom. What can the cause of the problem be.
It used to charge normally at first when I bought.
I have my desire s for one year now.
My device is rooted via revolutionary and s-off.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at your battery for any swelling or signs of damage on the battery, it is possible that your battery is shot.

Re: battery...
Could it be that with the reboot,
device wipes its battery stats and looses the info?
(Or is it happening only during flash)
my phone has that same symptoms, but it happens mainly
, when i flash a rom, forgetting fully charge the battery before- after reboot it indicates full charge..
Edit: according to amidabuddha, htc has implemented safety switch in to charging procedure,
, when the load reaches certain level- it slows down
Then begins to indicate ' fully loaded' before
It realy gets to it- that is suposed to lengthen live of the battery,
but three to four hours sounds unusual...
Edit 2. When during charging battery gets to hot, charging stops as well...

Me too, charging from 0-70% needs 1,5-2 hours then 70-95% needs 4 hours, 95-100% just needs couple minutes, Idk why this happens, the battery stat says health...
When in the middle of charging I reboot the device, the level rises up anomaly, ex. The device is charging, and the level is 12 and I reboot, when I get back to homescreen it says 45%..
Also, the led changes from orange to yellow not when the level on fully charged, usually on the 90%.. my device is almost 2 year old

duh, it's because nothing is draining the battery while phone is shut down.

no, there is much difference in time.

From my experience, this behaviour is due to battery age. It started happening after about a year for me. I bought a new battery and the problem went away.
But I never had any real problems as a result of the slow charging of the old battery. If you recharge overnight, then it will have sufficient time to fully charge.
Based on what I now know, I wouldn't replace the battery until it stops holding its charge.

I think you need to replace your battery since the device is already 3 to 4 years old. Replace it with Sony OEM battery.
I had a similar problem few months back then I replaced it and everything's fine now.

Sony stopped the Z3 production years ago. This is a already old device so the battery its having will certainly be an old one.
Which ROM are you using? stock Sony ROM? Or a custom ROM?
Download this app called AccuBattery. Use it for like 2 to 3 days go know your battery's actual capacity and let me know.
Your battery is either draining because some apps are draining your battery massively or outdated battery. There shouldn't be so much loss like in 5 to 10 mins like how you did.
Check your battery stats from that AccuBattery app and if it's bad you'll have to replace it. :good:
I get 4 to 5 hours of screen on time with 70% brightness.

i sold the phone

Note 10+ battery drain

I've had this phone for two weeks now and the past few days every time I charge it to 100 it instantly drops to 99 after 2-3min of use. I'm not running any heavy programs either if I just have the screen on it will drop. In the screenshot below I had 13min of use and it went down to 98. Is this happening to anyone else? I don't have power saver mode on.

Well, if the phone is 100.0000000, the instant you turn it on it is less than that, correct?

It shouldn't drop 2 percent in 13min should it if the screen is just on?

I'll check it out next time I charge the phone.

Seems to be just about right

If you're not getting good enough screen on time and did factory resets already, try reflashing the system. It worked for me.

Mine does the same exact thing. My note 9 never had this issue and I'm only seeing 3 to 3 1/2 hours on screen time..
My samsung SM-N975U battery averages 1d 0h 0m (19h 50m 0s active usage) on a single charge.

My note 10+ goes from 100 to 97 in about 5 minutes. Current situation -
upload
The last thing I'll complain about is going from 100% to 97% in 5 minutes with this type of battery life.

I am in a situation where it feels like its draining faster then it should, but Im also using it more than I should, so I dont know if a phone issue or a me issue. Im gonna do a reset to see if the results remind.

I realized that the Secret for obtaining high amounts of battery life (screen in time) is if you consistently use the phone.I found that I can easily get 10 hours if I'm constantly using the phone to the point where the screen is on for 10 hours. The second I put the phone to sleep and I don't use it as much is when I start heading 6 to 8 hours of screen on time. It's weird how they've implemented this but,
I now just use my device without even concerning myself with the battery life for screen on time because it doesn't really matter. In the back of my mind I know I could get 10 hours if I actually spent that amount of time on my device with the screen on. When it comes to regular usage 6-8 hours on a device that lasts a day and a half sometimes almost 2 days I don't think it's anything to complain about

The problem is that your phone like mine must have came with 4300 or less mAh ... Most likely less ... Mine has 4280 mAh I am very pissed at Samsung for that since my hauwei p30 pro phone have almost 4800 mAh so it spends 8 hours in 100 percent until it starts to decrease the battery that is why so many fear hauwei I guess it was my first phone from then and it's amazing how it is superior to anything I have ever seen before ...

Ya me too how solve battery drain issues

I have a issue with regards to the battery where if the battery is reaches 10% , then from 10 to 0% drains within 1min. Any idea how to fix this or issue with the battery?

Question Battery from 100 to 99

i have been using my s22 ultra SD for a month, i get actually a decent battery life.
but the thing is that battery drops quickly from 100 to 99 within 4 minutes and sometimes even 3 minutes, even if it is on standby. Also, it takes another only 4 minutes to gets dropped to 98.
after that, battery drains normally. i mean not that fast
is it only me?

In theory, when your battery is at 100% and you unplug it, it should, technically, drop to 99% immediately. It's only really full while it is being topped up with a trickle charge. As soon as it's unplugged, it's on its own steam and is no longer full. I'm not sure how long you, or Samsung, would expect it to remain on 100%. I imagine that depends on many variables.

It's common

Perfectly normal, also the fast drop from 6%

its just a software tricks to show batt levels
i had Oneplus 9 Pro before with:
100>90 stays 25 minutes
90>80 stays 20
then 50>40 just 13 minutes
but S22u shows a real discharging, dont blame them for a truth

So you get good battery life but you're complaining about how fast it discharges from 100 to 99?
That's some iPhone privilege right there, son.

dont complain about battery life XD
i have a galaxy a3 2016 its draining down to 15% in 4hrs
