Have you recently changed the charger or cable? That can sometimes be the cause.

can you specify how much time does it takes to charge till 100%?

No I did not change any cable or charger and it takes 7-8 hrs to charge 100%

Whoaa! thats weired! Ok now try changing your phone on different plug point. If this doesnt helps then BORROW a battery to test whether the problem is in your current battery or not. I hope it helps.

Factory reset, happened to me. Or restore your system ui backup.

I had a backup of the whole system which I used... And the problem is still here... I would wait with factory reset until a good custom rom comes

Beyond fully charging and unplugging the phone, there is no such thing as battery calibration.

It deletes the battery stats.. And maybe my file was corrupted... It works and only after the calibration... So something must it have been doing.

battery calibration means a new battery stat is build and the old one is wiped, it is done when full charging the battery and unplugging the charger.

Charging and unplugging the phone does exactly this. No mythical calibration needed.

It seems like we're going on a whole ”you say tomato... ” type thing here. I fully understand and don't dispute that something was preventing your batterystats.bin from being automatically wiped. What I was originally getting at, which was off-topic, is that wiping battery stats is actually not calibrating anything and that there really isn't much of anything that an end user can do to calibrate their batteries.

I know that... I should have been more specific... I used the "battery calibration" app from play.. It did the trick for me..
Glad it works now..

Battery and software issue?

Today I discovered the code *#0228# on my gt-i9500. And seems to display battery for info. If I click the "quick start button" battery readings drop about 40%. If I do it twice or three times it goes to connect your charger.
Is this an issue?

Same here, battery drops after pressing Quick Start. Don't know why, though and if it's supposed to be like that ^^
Try to pull your battery out for 1 minute then putt it back in.it should go back to normal level again.

[Q] Screen unresponsive while charging

Hey, I'm sorry if this is a noob question but after the 4.3 update, my screen is a lot less responsive while charging. I use the charger and cable it came with, so its not that. Any ideas?

Gs4 haptic feedback turns off automatically

When the battery goes down to 15%, haptic feedback turns off by itself and I have to manually put it back on even after charging it again. This gets annoying after a while. What should I do? (i337)

Charge your phone before it gets to 15%.
Battery life is optimized when the charge is kept between 20-80%.

I know that... But I hate manually turning it on.... I'm asking how to stop it from turning off by itself.

battery draining issue

I bought a new I9505 for my girlfriend. it seems to have very serious battery draining problem. a standard over night standby, doing nothing, wifi connected, battery would drain 30~50%. I tried many different roms and kenrnels, they all work the same way. I also tried deleting batterystatus information file, still no luck. could anybody tell me what's going on with the i9505?
here are some screendhots of the battery usage.

Nope, can't tell you why. Get better battery stats and figure out what's keeping your phone awake and using the battery.
It'll be an app she has installed. You have to find out which one through process of elimination

Try using greenify to freeze background apps that are running whilst not in use or ds battery save to force her phone to deepsleep when not in use
