Hi guys, been a while since i've posted but hopefully someone can help.
My S6 on Three was working perfectly fine until today when my battery ran out at 7am this morning during my early shift.
Got home and put it on charge and left it plugged in by the side of my bed. I woke up a few hours later and the phone booted, said I had 1% battery and then turned itself off.
I have tried my charger from my other s6 but the best it will do is boot up and say it has 1% and then it closes down.
I then tried the charger and it keeps making a noise like the charger is disconnecting.
Any advice please?
Hey guys,
I have owned my Samsung Galaxy S6 for a little over 5 months now and about a week ago fast charging stopped working. I have searched around on the web and have found no info. Here are some details on what happens when I plug my phone in:
70% of the time I will plug it in and in the notification bar it will say cable charging x hours remaining.
the other 30% of the time it will go to a black screen with a white x in the corner. After a bit of researching this is the phone going into vr mode. The phone goes completely unresponsive and I have to hold the volume down and power key to force restart the phone.
I have also tried fully reseting the phone but it is still not working. I have also tried using my friends fast charger and also had no luck. Any help appreciated! :/
Without fast charging it charges unbelievably slowly... 4 hours to charge from 6% to 100% with the phone fully powered off. 6 hours to charge it to 100% when it is switched on.
Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.
Hi guys
Since two days I'm having a weird battery issue.
My note is not charging beyond 60% although the battery is charging properly till that with a standard charger. But as soon as I switch to fast charging and restart my device, it shows 0% charging while switched off. Then when I restart my device it shows 0% but starts to charge really really quick till 50% in just 5 minutes or so. But still never charges beyond 60%.
Can anyone please tell me what could be the issue. I've tried wiping everything and switched rom but nothing's helping.
Is it battery problem or charging port problem?
Please help.
I'm having the same problem with my phone, just started the other day.
Hello, i got a s6 recently and the next day i bought it was dead. I thought it was a battery issue, so i changed it, but the battery expanded and it really didnt worked out. The phone just turns on while charging. I tried disconnecting the battery and still shows around 70% while charging. Any help?
