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?

First day of a new job so I put my phone on a Work profile using PhoneWeaver (paid). Had the phone vibrate a few times telling me I had emails, and then one last time telling me the battery was almost dead, then it died. Had 6 hours of life out of it, not even joking.
Once I got to the car to charge it and head home, the phone went into the display where the battery icon shows up and the phone is off, but flashed a yellow warning triangle with a red thermometer next to it on the right side of the battery. Wish I had a camera on me to take a picture, but I immediately pulled the battery door off and placed it on an A/C vent on the car, and the phone died again since it wasn't connected to the charger anymore.
When I finally got the phone home and charging, I went to the battery status screen to see what was draining the battery, and even though it was showing what was going on since the power cycle, it showed the Display was accountable for 94% - still not convinced, I went to my PhoneWeaver settings to see if the Work profile had Wifi or GPS on the whole day, and it didn't have anything out of the ordinary. Only thing I can come up with is that when the emails and texts came in and I didn't check them, my phone unlocked in my pocket and left the screen on the whole day.
Has anyone else seen the overheating / temp warning screen on the battery status level display when the phone is off? What caused it in your situation? I have a hard time believing that if I wear heavy khaki shorts as I've been doing since I got the phone on the 19th, the phone won't unlock and in turn won't overheat, but when I wear dress pants on my first day of work at a new job, the phone unlocks, runs the display all day, and my lightweight slacks make the phone overheat????
sorry for the long narrative, I just wanted to give all the details of what happened in case anyone has any advice or similar experiences.... thanks in advance!
never, i recommend restoring factory settings and using it as is for a day and see if this happens again. It could be something you installed. If you have a similar experience, return your phone and get a replacement.
make sure they replace your battery incase it got fked from the overheating caused by the phone.
well, day two of work and my phone is just now at 20 percent, 14 hours later, lots of texts and emails and everything else
The last couple of days I've noticed something strange with my battery. I keep it on the charger all night and when I get up in the morning my phone says the battery is at 100% and the charge LED is green. The instant I pull my phone off the charger it drops a couple percent. I thought that was strange so this morning instead of pulling the phone off I just shut it down. Once the phone was completely off the LED went from Green to Orange as if it was charging again. It look another 20 minutes to turn green again. I powered the phone up and as soon as sense is loaded I am back to 93% battery.
Anyone else see this? I've wiped battery stats and did the whole calibration but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
That is normal... Once the batt hits 100%, the charger goes off and lets it drop to 95% or so and starts charging again. It does this to protect the battery. Also when you turn off, it will restart the charge.
The battery is lying, but that's not such a bad thing.

My battery has been acting up the last few days as well. As in, going from a full charge to ~35% in 3 hours and then down to ~12% an hour later. No new apps added, nothing out of the ordinary done. Regular uses and charging cycle. I normally reset my battery stats when I flash a new incarnation of a new ROM, but after a couple of days everything seems to be back to normal.
I've been baffled by this, but have yet to find the culprit. An app or searching for signal are my only thoughts.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the link!
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.
I am running Wang's latest 10.1 (4.2.2) ROM on this phone. I was using the video camera to record video. Once I stopped using it, I saw that it had 40% battery left. I turned off the display and put it in my pocket. I reached home and I can't turn it on, I removed the battery, put it back in, let it sit on the chager for half hour and tried to power it on. Nothing!
So, any ideas what happened to my phone? Did some chip just fry itself?
Any ideas folks?
ok. after one hour of charging, the phone turns on. I am so glad to get it back!
So, what the heck happened? It had 40% battery when I put it in my pocket. Is this a case of battery memory, where in it showed 40% but it had not charged till 100% to begin with and hence after 40%, it just fell to 0?
That might be the most probable cause.Try wiping battery stats from recovery and let the phone go through a couple of full charge-discharge cycles.
May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...
Hi,
My phone got some juice spilled on it yesterday. It had a case on it,and that absorbed a lot of the juice (phone was in a bag) and turned on and off a few times after this occurred. Cleaned it as best as i could.
Phone works fine, but the problem i'm having is very slow charging when plugged in.
Just ordered a precision screwdriver set and will pull it apart and have a look at it.
Had let it dry for at least 4 hours prior to putting the cover back on it. Didn't charge it for about 10 hours after the incident (cleaned all the gunk off it then put it on charge as the battery was running low).
Phone still works ok, and has not re-started in the last 24 hours. Charging still stuck at 75%.
Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?
I'd really like to keep my current phone if it only means a battery change.
Does anyone reckon it could be something wrong with the circuitry (ie. something that requires a shop to fix - in which case it won't be worth that expense for me!).
Thanks again.
EDIT: Phone now saying "Charging: Six hours till fully charged" at 75%. Safe to assume it's the battery?
EDIT 2: Tried charging in safe mode and in airplane mode, still the same. Phone is able to maintain a charge but charges very slow. Phone still works fine (all functions intact) and has not restarted/switched off. Charging port also looks clean. Possible hypothesis : AV voltage insufficient for battery as it is damaged? Contact plates have been damaged??
i believe it's the sensor, it's not reading correctly the battery, so that 75% on the screen means nothing, when real low charge, the phone shuts down or reboot, but still shows 75%
