Regardless of age you can get a "lemon" battery.
Go into your settings, then connection, and make sure "beam" is NOT checked. This drains battery.
If you set up email then this could also drain your battery if your connection is always on. If your internet connection is on it drains the battery pretty fast. My 8525 will only last near a day, not a full day, because I have push mail setup.
There are many extended batteries for sale on the net and some promise as much as 12 hours or use. I'd recommend moving to one of those!
Also, how did your phone work fine in europe? As soon as I landed in London I realised ATT doesn't exist there and I had to get a prepaid card from Orange. Luckily I had unlocked my phone before hand.

it cant be my battery i switched the battery with my friend and the battery still got eatin up....
checked my beam and its not checked on....
i soon as i landed in poland (krakow) me and my buddy have the same phone he put his on and i put my on and we were like we are connected to orange this is grear so it worked right away....u dont wanna know how much my bill was but it was alot of money.....my buddy almost paid 1000...roming calls killed him and when he got drunk he talked to ppl for hours from the us , that wasnt to smart by him lol

hey guys just wanted to let u know that the phone is back to normal since yest...........i have no idea why it was accting up like that but its holding the battery just like it did before ..........

Your battery might be lying to you

it says if you're using custom rom...
i'm not ... nor do i have an ability to remove batterystats.bin from data/system either since i didn't root my device just yet...

Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.

It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!

Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%

Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.

Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!

Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.

[Q]My DesireS charges extremely slow

Some day over a year ago, realized my new Desire S just charges extremely slow.
It usually takes a whole night(10+hours) to charge from 10% to 100%.
In the past year I tried replacing a new battery, different wall chargers, wires, roms, kernels, even HBOOTs, the problem stays the same.:crying:
Now I have to use an extra battery and a desktop charger to keep it alive.
Everything is running great except charging. Even battery duration is fine.
What should I do? I really want it repaired.
Or is there any rom or kernel that forces charging current?
The snapshot is my DesireS charging with my new 1200mA Nexus4 wall charger and wire, offscreen.
When screen is on, charging current is lower than 100mA.
Current:180mA, estimated 2h27m from 76% to full.:crying:

ps. My DesireS emmc bricked weeks after I purchased it, and I had the M4G2DE emmc replaced to SEMO4G.

Hello!
I have the same problem with charging. Using special soft I mentioned that my Desire charges with max 130mA.
I've tried it with tree accumulators and a lot of charge-cables but no effect. Please help.
Thanks

i have some problems about battery too. what can i do?

I had that when I bought a second-hand desire S, i tried multiple ROMs/kernels but no avail, later on i found out it was the battery that's dead, slow to charge, fast to drain, if you can't get through 1 day at least with it, change the battery, it's cheap and it'll solve it, you could try another battery to verify that it's the battery and not the charging circuit, but from what I had to do, change the battery, and get the OEM one not a 3rd party battery, good luck!

Do you have any suggestions? Maybe somebody goes to service center?

You are using 1200mA? In snapshot titled 1600, which is it true?
In the middle of charging, hv you ever rebooted the phone?

[Q] Insane battery drain from Android OS

So while charging, phone is extremely warm...
I pulled it off the charger last night and 2 in the morning, went to check time and it was dead when I woke up.
I plugged it in 4 hours ago, and it's only gone up to 91% also.
I also don't have my sd card to micro usb doodad to pull the backup.... -_-
What causes this type of drain?

Reboot it. Also leave ROM and kernel in reply.

If the problem survives a reboot then worry about it.

I rebooted last night, and unplugged it to see the drain. At 8 in the morning it was at 30%. I'm just waiting for it charge so I can test again. It's 96% now though.
I have Mahdi rom, and mahdi kernel for the newest update.
Last night I had Uber kernel and Mahdi rom 2.7.

And the phone was at 100... It's still draining.

Battery draining 50 to 5% in 10 mins

I've had my S7 (SM-G930W8) since Jan of last year so it's just passed the warranty period and my battery lasts less than 6-7 hours. It'll literally drop from 50-60% down to 5% in 10 minutes. I'll literally have it in my pocket, take it out to check the time or something and it'll be at 50%, then a few minutes later check it again and it's down to 5%.
I don't keep it plugged in after its finished charging, I use the original charger with a new USB cable. I close apps after I'm done using them. I keep Bluetooth/Nfc off and use only 4G.
I'm pretty sure the battery is dying but on the off chance it's not I thought I'd post here to see if there's some other solution. A couple weeks ago I even let the battery discharge a couple times until it shut off and turned it back on after it hit 100%

Have you tried battery recalibration? Also just order a battery off of eBay for 15 or 20 bucks n throw it in yourself. No big deal. Just don't mess with your screen, they aren't very tough.

Yes as I stated in the original post, I let my phone discharge until it shut itself off and then charged it to 100%, which is how you recalibrate the battery. This has had no effect and the battery will still drop in a very short time.
I also have a cracked screen so replacing the battery would be a difficult task to accomplish without further cracking the screen. Not to mention those $15 batteries on eBay or even Amazon are likely knockoffs and will cause even more problems.
