THL T6 Pro - Charging but battery drains?

So, my phone, which is the THL T6 PRO, has the charging light and it was charging perfectly fine up to 65% and then it started draining down. The phone is conected to a plug. Is this because of the battery?
Before the charging port was kind of loose but I managed to fixed that as of now the charger isn't loose. phone being idle takes 50% of battery life?

My phone has the "same" problem: charge until 66/67% and stay at this percentage for 15/20 minutes. Then it continues to charge.
I'm going to search online a new battery (i've already ask at my seller to ship another one, i'm waiting..) and I've find a 2680 mah battery, but I don't know if is for the t6 pro
(sorry for my english )

I found one from this website that has 2250mah which is 350mah more than the original.
If you search up Aliexpress.com and type up T6 Battery you should be able to find it. I could send you a link but since I'm new to this website and have not posted more than 10 post it won't allow me, sorry.
I'm just going to buy the normal 1900mah battery because the battery life for me is good enough as to what I do in my normal days.

Don't worry for the message. I'm going to search what you tell me. Meanwhile I'm waiting the new battery, hope that it works fine.. Otherwise I'll buy another with an high amperage. We'll wait for other people that have the same problems!

Hey man, i've an update: i have another battery (the seller of the smartphone has shipped a similar battery because I tell him that the mine doesn't work very well) and this is very incredible; no battery drain, no stopping charge at 66-67% how I said a few posts ago. When I woke up in the morning I use the phone since the 10am until the 9pm with intense use (data network always on,web, whatsapp, 30mins of calls, online game like clash of clans) and it still works for another hour (because it has yet 25% of battery).
I think that I solved the problem. Hope that you can do the same. Best regards.

LG G5 Extended batteries from third party sources?

Alright. Just like what happens with many smartphones, third party sources have started releasing batteries with a little more juice than the Original LG Batteries of 2800mAh. I have to admit it, i was kind of counting on it because it happens a lot of time. But how reliable could they be? Would NFC work with them? Will it make our phone explode? From 2800mAh to 3250mAh is 450 more juice to drain. Has someone tested it? I've posted the link and a couple of pictures.

I just recieved two of them from Ebay. Charged one in the charging cradle, took a little longer than the stock battery. Installed it in the phone last night and will report on my findings. Everything seems fine so far.

Can you please also try the NFC feature if you have another phone with NFC capability? And also, whether the SOT improves or if it remains the same. and finally, in comparison to the other battery, how long does the phone last , based on your average usage (say: wifi on/off, usual brightness or auto brightness, etc. ) Let us know. Thanks

On my Thread I found one that has 3600mah found at AliExpress

I have tested for two day and although I haven't gotten any numbers to prove it...the battery works great. It does last longer with the same usage...but I wouldn't say that the difference is huge but it does have a little more endurance. I'd say that if you are looking for an extra battery...this is not a bad choice especially just to keep as a spare. Everything works fine as well.
Also...it may take a few cycles to get the battery calibrated...my first discharge I was disappointed because it dad extremely fast but after letting it run down and charging it a few times it seems to last a little longer than stock. I'll leave the battery in for a while and if I get time to collect screen on before I charge it I will.

I think one would see a real difference if it had 900mah ane up more than usual. I was kind of expecting for that though. Hahaha. But i have the feeling they will release an eveb bigger one. Something like 4000mAh+ but you have provided us with great detail. Thank you. If you have the SOT in the future feel free to provide if

I doubt we will see anything much larger in the same size. Batteries have limited capacity/cm3, and LG, being one of the best and largest battery manufacturer, maxed out on that value. The problem here is the physical size of the battery cell...

They managed to do that by replacing the back cover with their own "case", including an extra-size cell. The G5's different battery removal mechanics make it a lot less viable option, especially adding the bottom module (which houses not just the USB connector, but speakers, microphone, and some antennas) as a cost.
My original comment was directed at the allegedly 3200/3250mAh cells popping up for 5-10$ a piece. There's a reason why official LG cells are 25$, and these after-market ones cost less than half of that. Sure, LG needs to cover the development costs, but I'm pretty sure the after-market ones are so cheap mainly because of corner cutting. And that comes with extended hazard. But if you feel like ruining your 600$+ phone because you went cheap and paid 10$ instead of 25$ for a battery... It's your call.

They could create a module similar to the Cam+ that has an 'extra' battery in it. Maybe slimmer but further up the case.

Check out this thread I did for the Sensation (ages ago). It's not relevant to this phone, other than to say that you'll recognize some of the labels:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753726
The TLDR: Actual mAh was was tested reliably (external discharge, outside of the phone) and batteries with the same label style as the two linked in the OP actually had roughly 30% and 50% of their stated capacity, and much less than stock.
I've got a G5 coming this week. I wouldn't be against doing another thread like the one I did in 2012 on the Sensation, if there's demand.

I have this one coming, so i will let you all know what i find. There seems to be mixed reviews, and even my Stock Battery had to be calibrated up/down charge for 3-5 times before i had good life.

The mixed reviews are in part my fault. I'm one of the reviewers with that battery and for some reason Amazon will not post my updated review, I've tried 3 different occasions to post follow ups but they won't post.
What I learned with that battery is it works, only it does give me the invalid battery message and the phone shuts off but only if I reboot the phone at 100% battery life, upon booting the phone reports 50% charge and shuts off. You have to restart it a couple times until it's used a percentage or 2, then it boots fine. I emailed the seller about it and they responded with the cells are tested and they only use quality parts, they sent me another battery but that one does the same as the original. With the issue with the note 7 and other phones/chargers I stopped using the battery. It might be perfectly safe but I can't determine that and the risk is not one I am willing to wait and see. Here's a link to another topic here on XDA where I responded about this battery.

So, after the first full charge and discharge to 11%, I'm getting very good times better than stock. This will probably increase with a few more charging cycles. My opinion is this battery is definitely more mA. I will review more when later.

Kompson vs Stock Battery

So guys, celebrating or Forum acquisition.
Let's talk about one of the biggest issues that a huge part of S3 users, that acquired their phones last year had. The battery drop.
It weirdly started for some after the Lollipop upgrade, with a 15 or 20 sudden drop, 1, 2, 3 seconds and you phone turns off!
Firstly we all thought this was a software issue, but after countless work and updates on this part and no fix for it, we started to think that problem was not a software one but with batteries itself.
The cause will remain a mystery. A defective lot? A issue that was ignited by LP? And proof of batteries defect, the drops gets worse with time. 20, 30, 40% drop to zero, batteries getting inflacted watch out if you have this issue!
Fortunately this seems to be fixed in newest batteries, that are sold on main stores, if you're ordering a original one get from main stores, Aliexpress stores are just selling fake ones by my investigations.
Luckily we found at Aliexpress this Kompson battery. At first sight it looked like a big scam, promising capacity for a not so popular phone? Definitely could look like a scam. But then a courageous buyer bought one and not only got great capacity or duration, as got the drop issue aliviated.
My case, after a whole year with two original batteries. They started to suffer huge drops from 50% in the last 6 months, with max of 2:30 SOT. One got inflated, they badly lasted me more than a . Yesterday finally got my Kompson and my issue meet a end. No drop, maybe at 5%, 3% I got a drop to 1% then it last some time more and turns off.
This topic is to inform people with the Drop issue, as well as letting your experience with new, old stock batteries or Kompson. In order to inform and help people with this freaking issue.

I only got one battery with my device, so the moment I started to notice these strange drops, plus none of the "rescue" solutions such as battery calibration (rooted), didn't do anything, I search AliXpress, and bought one KonPson with any risk...
Since March 29th that I am using it, the phone works also with 0%!!! No crazy drops, no suddden 50%...
The load discharges slow an normaly.
TapaTalk and JiaYu S3 with Android MM!

Battery calibration isnt quick process to get rid off drops. What You need to do is stay with ONE rom longer! Do a calibration at 100%. Restart the phone. Than three-five times fully discharge battery (with normal use) and charge it to 100% its times. It take week or so. I have konspon and orginal battery and I dont have any drops - no matter which battery I use. I've made flashable batterystats file (from my own file after a week or so) and when I need to test new rom and return to mine testes I do flash batterystats.bin file via recovery and thats all.

I had two defective batteries, no way a calibration would save them from 50% drops.

Just swapped in my Kompson that I purchased a few months ago as a spare as I was experiencing a 10% drop. From my experience it was definitely battery degradation as it started fine and eventually worked up to 5% then 10% while the Kompson goes all the way down to 0%. It will be interesting to see if the Kompson does the same in such a short period as then it might be the device causing degredation rather than poorly made batteries.

One more question. Is it the store you bought from (BouBoo International trade co., LTD)?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/kon...ttery-free-shipping-Tracking/32360303710.html

I have 5 batteries and a pair of external chargers. One of the 5 is a Kompson. The differences are not abysmal but their performance is better.

Hi,
Where could I buy legit battery (stock or konpson) for Jiayu S3 Advance?

I have this same exact battery, I was the first one to get my hands on in our group and its so good that my facebook friends started to try buying it from me. So I sold it to one of them after I sold my jiayu s3 to get an iPhone.
Now that I just went back from an iPhone 2 months ago into another Jiayu S3 unit, I have to buy another Konpson battery for the same reason why my friends wants my Konpson so bad. LOL
Bye bye batt drops, hello my dear konpson
If you're gonna get one, just ignore what the capacity says. As long as it says Konpson for jiayu s3, you're all good. Those capacity are just labels anyway, in reality its the same capacity to the stock battery, just more efficient as to why it works and performs better than the stock battery despite having the same capacity.

kompson batteries no longer exist. now they are ones called "losoncoer" i think is the same factory (very similar sticker)
soon it will arrive and i will try it

the battery be 50 and go 70 and then go 2 so i don't know whats happening should i replace battery or what
i install (Ampere) app and tell me the health of battery is good so i don't what i should do

I would replace the battery. Battery is cheap on ebay even they are likely to be faked. I replaced batteries both of my Nexus 4 with those potential fake one. The temperature sensor isn't working on one of them so I know it is faked. But it doesn't give me trouble so far. I bought three from three different sellers.

Hello,
I've got the SAME problem with my Nexus 4 this week.
I'll try to say what happened (and I didn't resolve this yet)
First of all, it is shuting down my N4 all the time. I need to keep it at charged.
I tried to change my battery with a friend (with N4 too) and the problem persists.
I tried to change our USB modules, without success.
At this phone everything is working alright, even with battery (so it isn't a battery problem).
I cannot charge my battery or calibrate it. I charged my battery at his N4 and put at my N4: "74% battery" (it was 100%).
My gauge do some crazy jumps. It's like "15%, 76%, 100%" and when i put it off "100%, 44%, 2%".
NOTE: I tried to calibrate several times.
It keeps shuting down at normal use.
This problem occurs -at the first time- when I was at Android 5.1.1 (Chroma ROM). I changed to Android 6.0.1 and it still not working.
At charger works very fine.
At "TWRP" it works fine too (don't shutdown)
I REALLY don't know what can I do.
Now, i'm will install a Stock Rom just for science.

I have this problem(random shutdown,random reboot,when plug in battery dance) too. 6 six month ago I changed battery because phone battery drained as ****,so I used my phone only when plugged in (battery wasn't charging,just keep charge) and one day I used my n4 too long without charging, so battery drains. n4 died till I changed battery.
Everything stock, android 5.1.1 LMY48T, still hoping for OTA updates.English isn't my mother language, so will be pleased if you check it
Now I think about buying new phone. As for me its to much change battery one more time. Or itsnt batterys' fault?

I got back the Nexus 4 from a relative because she got a new phone. Also a cousin had a nexus 4. The batteries are terrible. Its been over 3 years so this was expected. I'm hoping the new battery will give it respectable SOT. Right now it just randomly dies at 50% or higher. And I have to wait for it to really die before I can bring it back to life. Its got the RED LED of Death.
Got to say, its a beautiful phone still. Forgot how nice it was

i buy new battery now its work fine

Beware! The majority of batteries sold on ebay are fake! You can identify them by the look: their print on the label is not white, it's more like a dirty grey. Also they are smaller (1-3mm) in length and width. Also they lack a temperature sensor and constantly report a temperature of 22-23°C. A quick check with a hairdryer will reveal it. Don't install these fake ones. I did twice and both failed within less than 100 cycles. Runtime was poor and they were swollen so much they lifted away the back cover!

I just got a Nexus 4 that my mother was using and installed CM13 and now Lineage 14.1 for my father to use. I'm also facing these random shutdowns.
On my last charge, I charged to 100% without any problem and left the phone in standby for a day and a half which took it down to 89%. I then used it last night to give it some SOT and left it at 74%. Just before going to bed, I pressed the power button and nothing. With a long press the phone booted and reported the battery at 73%. Waking up this morning I expected to press the power button and find the phone on something like 67%. Once again the phone had shut down and when I booted, the battery was on 2% and shutdown itself down straight after boot.
If the battery performance is rubbish, I can accept that due to the age of the phone. What I cant accept is totally inaccurate battery reporting and shutdowns. :crying:

I replaced the battery of my Nexus 4 yesterday, purchased from AliExpress. I suppose it is a fake one. The battery was too big to fit into the enclosure. I had to force it to let it fell into place. Finally it fell into place and it was connected, the phone won't turn on. The phone has given only a red led of death for about 12 hours. Probably it means a battery failure. I don't think the cheap batteries are in good condition and I don't think they're safe either.

Agree, I got one from AlieExpress too. But that was not lasting even equal to my 3 years old battery. Had to complain at multiple places to get the refund but finally got it.

I think the best chance to get an original battery is to purchase a battery from spareslg.com. The price of the battery is a bit too high in my opinion: 22,60 euros at the moment. A second hand nexus 4 costs approximately 60 euros, 80 euros tops, in the Netherlands. I don't know how much a second hand nexus 4 costs in Turkey. Perhaps it's better to consider a second hand nexus 4 and use your old nexus 4 for spare parts. A known issue of the nexus 4 is that the digitizer will stop randomly and the glass at the front and back of the phone is fragile.

New Official Samsung Battery Won't Charge Properly

I recently purchased a official Samsung Spare Battery for my N910C via a UK based online retailer. However I am having problems getting it to charge properly using fast charging. I've tried a couple of different battery calibration methods that I've found online.
Drain the battery fully then charge it and repeat the process 2 more times.
Drain the battery fully then charge it. After it's charged fully turn it on and you should notice that it's not fully charged. Plug it back into the charge and let it complete charging while the device is powered on. Then reboot the device and repeat the previous step if need.
But both of these methods don't work. Can somebody provide me with a walkthrough on how to correctly configure my new battery please?

I bought my replacement a couple of months ago directly from Samsung UK. Are you sure what you got is a genuine Samsung? There are so many convincing fakes about, which is why I went directly to the source to make sure I got the real thing. It cost a bit more, but worth it. Mine charged to 100% first time, and has been great ever since (6+ hours SoT). I never use fast charging though, always wireless charging. However, I did charge via USB the first three times, and two of those were from 0-100%. That's the only calibration I had to do. I would suggest avoiding fast charging for the first few charges (no scientific evidence for that, just my own opinion).
Other than what you have described though, I don't know of any other way of calibrating... this is essentially what I did "Use the phone until the battery goes to zero and the phone turns off. Do not turn it on. Plug in the charger and charge it to 100%. Drain the battery again and then charge it to 100%".

I would have gotten mine directly from Samsung too but they are current out of stock of the Note 4 batteries. I tried to calibrate it again but no joy. So I filled it a RMA form on the retailer's site and couriered it back to them for a replacement. Hopefully I just got a faulty battery.

Can highly recommend Anker if you have no luck with your replacement. Also PolarCell seem to have a good reputation - bit harder to get though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UQPU2V6

there is a good chance that you got a fake battery.

Anker success story on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/4zfrbv/fixed_a_ton_of_issues_with_a_new_battery_2_oem/

I ordered a battery and got a fake one, it didn't have the NFC coils in it (you can visibly see that there was no raised section where the NFC coils sit, and also NFC wasn't able to scan or detect anything). It also didn't have the water damage sticker present.
I returned it and bought from another vendor, new battery works great and definitely has the proper NFC coils.

The faulty one that I got was also a Genuine Samsung Battery with the NFC coil and everything, I'm waiting for the retailer to send me a replacement unit.

Ok, so my replacement battery arrived yesterday. I got it to charge fully last night before I went to sleep. I drained it today and tried charging it but it stopped charging at 81%. I was just wondering is this because I was sent a official UK N910F Battery which is not compatible with my UAE N910C? Is that the reason why my replacement spare battery won't charge properly on my N910C?

This is a problem many people are having, I have searched the net extensively trying to find a solution, but no luck. I believe it started happening on one of the updates to 6.0.1. The only sure fire way to get your battery to charge fully is charge it until it stops charging (usually around 78-92%) then take the battery out and hold the power button down for a while then put the battery back in. It will usually jump to ~96% and will charge to 100%.
If you drain the battery below ~80% the same thing will happen. If you charge it before it gets down to ~80% it will charge fully. Sometimes you will need to unplug the charger and plug it in again to get it to charge. Hopefully they will fix this in the next update. This last update finally fixed the random boots for me. Before that I had to flash the ROM or do a factory reset about every 10 days.

What I find strange is that I don't have the same problem with the battery that came with my N910C. It just happens with the new spare battery that I ordered online!

Yes, the same thing happened to me. It would only do it with the new spare battery, but not the original. I thought the new battery was bad and thought about sending it back, but then the original battery started doing it after a few swaps also. I've bought two more spare batteries and they do it as well. I have a couple of cradles I keep plugged into the wall and usually just swap batteries when it gets low, but it gets to be a bit of a hassle as I have a defender case. Hopefully it will get fixed in the next update. Hard to believe that I have 4 bad batteries, but I guess it's possible.

I think I will try buying some Anker batteries and see if they work better. I've been buying the "New Original OEM Samsung" batteries from ebay. I just read a review about the Anker batteries on ebay and it said the "OEM replacement batteries would only charge to 90% and he thought it was his phone, but the Anker batteries last all day now." They cost a lot more, but it will be worth it if it gets rid of this annoying problem. I will post a follow up after I get them and let you know how it goes.

I'm having the same problem. Are there any batteries that are decent quality from Ebay or Aliexpress? It's all I have to choose from unfortunately. Luckily the seller is sending me a new battery but I'm afraid I'll just get more rubbish

Same thing happens with me.. the battery will just not show the precentage properly.
But what i have noticed is that when it gets to around the 80% mark and you seen it takin longer than usual to finish... take the battery out and insert it again.. it will then show up at 100% charged.
What I have also noticed is that when it gets to 15%, the power starts to drain faster than it should even in ultra power save mode.
so dont know what to do.

Yes, they sell Anker batteries on ebay. I bought mine directly from Anker though.

My problem is that the new spare battery is not charging fully. I don't have problems when using my N910C and the battery meter acting irratic.

Sadly, the only Anker batteries I see are shipping from Canada, which is too pricey to get to Aus. Another one here is X Power, but they do look a bit rubbish... 5600mah my a**, and I doubt it has NFC

Try going to anker.com and see how much shipping from there is. I couldn't find any shipping rates, but I saw their warranty which says they will "take care of all quality-related issues with a FULL REFUND including any return shipping costs" for orders shipped internationally. You may have to make an account and put it in your cart to see how much shipping is or you can just email them. They also have Anker batteries on Amazon.
They are located in California and I'm in Washington state so hopefully I should get them soon and I will report back here if it fixes the problem. I sure hope it does because the phone is finally working pretty good except for this problem.

They might ship through Amazon, but you can order them at their site.
