My S3 Frontier does not charge.
I put it in the base, charge for about 5 minutes, then the base LED will flash red and the clock will turn off. There shot of the base, put again, the clock discharged the battery instead of increasing. It charges a few more minutes and starts all over again, the led flashes, the watch turns off and does not charge.
I already changed the charger, I already changed cable, I reset the clock and nothing.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Can you help me?
1.
You have SM-R760 or variant of SM-R765?
2.
You charged if Watch is OFF...
Power off Watch do the same as it is on and booted fully into Tizen OS?
3.
Under About device... is some battery info...
It could be, battery is dead...
Best Regards

I bought my S3 Frontier used over a year ago and one day shortly after buying it the charging base led indicator would flash red and never reach green. The watch did, however, charge but never a full charge to 100%. The watch was/is quite usable but it always frustrated me that it would never charge to green. I may have solved the problem this week and I'm so excited to share it online so that other sufferers of the flashing red light might find a solution too. After reading a manual for another electronics device I just bought, the manual described how the lithium battery could lose it's memory under certain conditions and it went on to explain how to correct the problem. I immediately thought of my Gear S3 and it seemed reasonable that this lithium memory problem could explain why my watch isn't charging all the way and flashes red. The description of how to correct battery memory problem was to drain the battery completely, like until it shuts off and wont turn on, and then charge it full and then repeat full drain and charge until the memory is reset. So this week I have been draining the battery on my S3 by setting brightness to full and turning on the always on function and just working it hard, it took almost 2 full days to drain the battery to zero. After cycling through full drain and full charge and back again the watch now charges properly and the light goes green when it's at 100%. I hope this helps you and anyone else suffering from S3 red light issues.
Thank You for posting this I'm going to give it a try. I just recently have the same issue.
I had exactly the same issue with R765A. Reset or latest updates did not help me. I tried my old Huawei 400mah and xiaomi power bank as a source with no luck. First time Gear can stay about 15 minutes before dock starts blinking. Also s3 turns off at that moment. You can pick up and then put back but 2-3 minutes later dock starts blinking again.
And here is the hi-end nanotech solution

I suppose that overheating is the cause. Also there may be a stronger magnetic field, which lead to larger charging current and overheating. I'm going to check my friend's dock this weekend and if it is ok then definitely some chargers produce a stronger magnetic field.

Hi,
anyone has the same problem as mine?
my battery max at 93. fully charged it will still display 93.
when ur batt is charging, it will display charging. but when it's full it will display charged.
yeah. my charged will display 93%. LOL?
I thinks its normal for the nexus s that it doesnt max out at 100%.
Mine usually is fully "charged" when its at 96% Battery.
i can confirm this, mine stops usually at 98%
Mine varies between 94 and 99, but most of the time it stops at 95.
From what I've heard, it's performance thing. Full discharges reduce li-ion life span, and 100% charges might also, to a lesser degree.
D720 is the same.
Yup mine gets to 95 and is done, I don't realty mind that but what I do mind is battery life I want it to last longer right now I barely make it a work day and I have to charged on my way home I'm tuning some services cause I need them just like I do in my iPhone but the battery dies too fast sometimes hopefully us cause I have for like 3 days

Normally mine stops charging at 95% but I've gotten to 100%.
Here's how I did it:
1) Charge the phone until it stops charging
2) Turn off the phone and continue to charge until the battery meter stops blinking
3) Turn on phone and enable "stay awake" while charging
4) Run an app that drains the battery (I used Angry Birds) and leave it on, don't turn off the screen
5) After about an hour it reached 100%

ps. It may be bad for the battery to constantly charge to 100%.
This is a known case to some Samsung devices, unfortunately
Thus, actually i would advice people to actually use it as it is, and dont let it bother you. after all, nexus s still have some pretty good battery life in general.
94% then as soon as I un-plug it drops to 89% but still lasts a day.
What's good for battery life? I have this device for over a week and I feel like it doesn't last the long, how much does it last you guys?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Download from the market ''Battery Calibration''. I almost forgot, i think u need a rooted phone because it deletes the battery.bin file.
samsung actually added this feature into the batt to protect it from overheat.
I think its weird and un-necessary anyway
but cos I have this phone i just need to live with it until I buy some new toy
Mine's roof is @ 95% :/
I have max on 97%
Sent from my Nexus S I9020T
Q: I unplugged my phone, and my battery dropped from 100% to 95% immediately, or it won't/takes along time to charge past 99%, what gives?
This is by design. Your phone will slow down and eventually stop pulling charge at or slightly greater than ~95% regardless of what your battery indicator says. This is to extend the overall life of the battery, as constant 100% to 0% charge/discharge cycles will cause it to fail prematurely. If you're interested in really pushing it to 100%, you can use a technique that is called "bump charging" and is better detailed here: http://bit.ly/f6xiZ0

The answer is found in here. I suggest you look for the answer b4 posting the question next time.
Phone is Samsung Galaxy Relay, CM11-20141008
If the phone reboots while plugged in, it stops charging, even though it thinks it's charging:

}
If charger is removed and reattached, it starts charging again.
It also sometimes thinks it has charged but then dies randomly as though the battery has died, and then the battery level is shown to be much lower than it thought? 3 things on right side of plot:
Now the phone won't stay running at all. It does the bootloader screen, then goes black in the middle. Sometimes it makes it to a home screen and then dies as soon as I touch anything.
If it's a bad battery, shouldn't it still work while plugged into external power?
Should it boot with no battery at all while plugged into external power? All it does is show a red LED and vibrate repeatedly.
If I boot into recovery it stays on, though, on battery alone.
Tried removing SD card and SIM card, wiping cache partition, wiping dalvik cache, reflashing gapps, still doesn't work.
re-burned the CM11 ROM, did a factory reset, still nothing. it works fine in recovery, but when I try to boot it shows the splash screen (the static picture, not the rotating circle), the LED turns blue briefly, and then everything goes black. :crying:
Sounds like a bad battery. Try letting the phone charge while off for about 6 hours. Also you could try "clearing the RAM" by pulling the battery unplugging and holding the power button for 5-10 seconds, and see if that helps.
But it boots into recovery and that works fine?

Also wouldn't it run fine on external power?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Free mobile app
I tried both of those with no luck.
It probably is a bad battery? After charging all day, it showed a full battery. I started it, it died immediately, then it said the battery was empty. Anyway I need a phone and don't have time to decide on a new model so I ordered another one. if it's just the battery I'll have a backup phone now.
So I swapped out the battery and it booted. It ran a while, getting really hot processing updates and everything from the past week, and then randomly shut down. The battery graph shows the same thing as before, the Charging bar is green as though it is charging, but the battery level graph is dropping. So I think the charging itself is broken and not the battery?
So after changing the battery it acted weird again for a bit and then started charging and has been working as it was since? So it was just the battery? But I still wake up to a dead phone even though it's plugged in, which it was doing with the old battery too.
Did you try a different charger.
Yes, tried several chargers
I made a Tasker profile to make noise if it's plugged in but the battery level keeps dropping
This definitely still sounds as though it's a bad battery.

well this is a different battery now, so 2 bad batteries? can someone with this phone confirm that if they plug it in and then reboot, it stops charging?

I personally have not seen that issue. The only issue with booting while plugged in that I've seen with the three apexqs I own is that if you reboot the phone with the charger plugged in, it often then doesn't like to get into 'Deep Sleep' mode until it's rebooted while not plugged in.
I have two apexq and never that issue, the only issue is the same magamo said before, no issues with charging rebooting phone while plugged in

I just took the OTA update to 5.02 last night, and now I am having issues with the battery charging. When I connect it, it starts out charging, then after a bout 30-60 seconds, it stops, and the splash screen for low battery appears. It cycles back and forth about every 30-60 seconds. After about 5 minutes, it actually seems to have lost charge. It went from 13% to 12%. I am using the charger and cable that was supplied when purchased. I also tried plugging a Note 2 charger into it, and it seems to be charging fine (obviously much slower than normal). This is what I am using now.
I never had any charging issues prior to last night. I am going to order a new cable, but am wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
I had this issue also with the at&t model upgrading to the latest kitkat. I downgraded to fix it.

I think your problem is not related to the update. Battery charging problem could be from your cable or charger.
This tool will help you to find out the problem, charging current should be around 1.7 Amps, voltage should be around 5.2 Volts
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
I did monitor of battery discharge before update. The fourth column is battery percentage, I was playing movie and wanted to see how much the battery drops.
This is before update:

This is the discharge rate while playing movie after update to 5.0.2. It seems better
This is the charging rate after update. Battery charges normally without any issue
My Oneplus One has recently started acting up. Last week it stopped charging normally and will only charge using the OEM charger.
Chargers and cords that I previously used without issue no longer work at all. My phone will show that it is connected to power, but will not charge and the battery will still go down.
I have tried:
Samsung wall charger
My 2.1a output car charger - battery doesn't go down, but no longer charges
My 1.5a output external battery
Apple USB charger and it seemed to work
Yesterday, I plugged my phone into my Samsung wall charger that like I said previously charged my OPO without issue and entered recovery and it wouldn't even charge in recovery.
I'm not sure what to try. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'd rather not have to buy a new phone.

Classic symptoms of battery failure. It happens with Laptop batteries also. Get your OPO battery changed as soon as possible.

Thanks! I'll look into getting a new battery. Are there any sellers I should look at or anywhere to seer clear from?
I need to sort out the most recent update as well which will hopefully fix my phone not always ringing when I get a call through. Last time I updated it I keep getting notifications to update it to the same version I'm already running and random restarts/freezing/slowing
I'm not sure if the power/battery has anything to do with this or if I have two unrelated issues.

My new battery came on Saturday and I installed it and charged my phone up before leaving for the weekend. It seemed to work OK Saturday and Sunday aside from a couple random restarts battery performance seemed to be better.
Then last night I went to bed without plugging my phone in since it was about 50% and when I woke up at 4 it was completely dead and would not turn on. I plugged it into the original charger and it showed the battery low, charge before powering on screen. I left it plugged in and charging for the last two and a half hours or so and just got up. The phone shows 50% charge so I turned it on and it briefly gave me the low battery message before powering up. I checked the battery and it looks like the battery suddenly lost all charge? The phone was still connected to the charger and showing 50%, but not charging. It appears to have stopped at 50%. The phone then randomly shut down and will not turn back on again. I keep getting the low battery screen.
I just switched back to the original battery so I could at least power on my phone and post the screenshot I took with the old new battery not charing past 50% before it shut down and refused to boot up.
Also, now that I'm using the original battery my phone feels slightly slower again. Could be nothing.

Hello everybody, i have read like 20 thread's about this but nobody actually had the anwser to it so here we go!
My nexus 5 is out of Warranty, my glass was smashed on it but it worked for a loong time perfectly but one day in winter when i just came back from outside into a warm as hell enviroment the screen was just smashed, the LCD spilled all the way so i finally changed it a month ago. Booted it up and it worked fine but didnt charge (actually discharged under charger) so i bought a cable for charging, even borrowed my friend's s4 cable to charge it (no luck)
So yesterday i finally changed up the battery, looks genuine (i can send it back if i want) and when i turned on the phone it showed 60% of battery but the phone instantly went to Powering Off and instantly RLOD
Few minutes under charger and booted to TWRP and it displayed 16% so i left it to charge on recovery but it didn't, the phone is charging since yesterday so 24hours are passing (turned off phone) and the gauge still displays 0...
I have cleaned the usb port on my nexus but still the same thing happens, doesn't matter what cable and also i use the OEM charger which charges lumia 720 in like 30 minutes from 30-90% so its definetly not the charger, could a 2A charger fix the problem of kinda kickstarting the battery to charge since nexus has the 1650mA limit of current?
A month ago i also checked all stuff like Ampere, Gsam etc and all displayed some weird stats, all chargers showed like 200-300mA charge and even went on negative while charging, tried 1.8A with a good copper cable with low resistance and sometimes it hit 1700mA and instantly went -800mA or something like that..
I just hope its not the Motherboard ( Btw when the lcd spilled it showed kinda "water damage" on the tabs, they went slightly pink, cleaning with alcohol could help? or its a software problem)
Try replace flex also know as LCD cabel, I think this is the issue.

You mean the "daughterboard" whole flex that has the usb port on it? right now its RLOD city and it goes like that for 2 hours already..
I want to try everything because i dont want to spend any more money on stuff that wouldn't help ^^ But im wondering why the new battery went from 60% instant power off and suddenly 15%..

If you still have your old battery, put in the old battery and see if the phone behaves the same way. If it does, it could be the USB flex cable that runs between the USB port and the motherboard.

New battery doesn't charge at all, the one at the screenshot is the old battery
(shows lightning bolt and stuff but after going to recovery after 5 hours it doesnt show the battery percentage and RLOD goes in)
Problem solved with a USB flex cable replacement?
