Galaxy Tab A 8" SM-T350 stock Battery charge Indicator stuck - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I have a stock Galaxy Tab 8" SM-T350. I've been pretty happy with it.
Recently the battery charge indicator is stuck on 100%. The battery life seems ok, it will run down and charge but the 100% reading doesn't change. It's not a serious problem, just hard to know what charge is left. I've not come across this before in many years of samsung and android devices. Any ideas?
it's running Android Version 6.0.1 and been updated to the latest software from Samsung
kernel version 3.10.49-9331721 [email protected]#1
Build Number
MMB29M.t35OXXU1BPK2

I would root it, {if you're not already} then either put a custom rom on it {I used the bare bones rom heavily modified) or xposed framework and several modules there will let you change all parts of the battery monitoring indicator

CM11 - i9505 Boot Delay/Hangs

Hi at all! Since I had my first smartphone I always used CyanogenMod to unlock all the power of my devices and have an pure stock android experience. I use CM11 on a s3 and a few times ago on a s4. I used always nightly build because I'm curios and I like to discover bug and discuss with other to solve them (I'm not a developer, only an appasionated smartphone user).
With my s4 (i9505) I used officials nightly from jflte section of cm download site and I updated it with Cyandelta app. I used Ktoonsez kernel.
It's impossible for my s4 to boot into Cm11 after a reboot or when I PowerOn my device after a battery change (because previous battery was 1% and device shuted down), because it hang on Model Number Splash screen. I have to remove battery, Hold for 5-10 seconds power button, insert battery and powerOn. Anyone has any idea for this problem? I've tried a lot of times to change from CM to TW and From TW to CM but problem persist anyway with Kt kernel and with stock cm kernel, but with TW rom problem doesn't appear.
A little note, I'm not using original Samsung Battery. Thanks at all and sorry for my crappy english. I'm a young student.
Try removing the batterystats.bin file... Maybe its getting confused on that.
See here for details on how to remove it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687
I've found problem. Kernel wasn't compatible with last version of CM11.
How to close post?

Galaxy S5 Running OptimalROM 15-5: Battery drain

Battery drain OptimalROM 15-5
Hello everyone. I am new at android, so please don't troll me if I d say some bs. I bought this device a month ago, it came with BOC4. I was very pleased with battery life. Some time after I decided to got root and new ROM. I look many guides and asked advices from some users of this forum. So I flashed with Odin NCG, rooted it. Then I used Flashfire and flashed rooted BOG5 stock and used Odin to flash OD5 bootloader. Then I again used Flashfire and flashed OR 15-5, both times I did full wipe. After I installed xposed with flashfire. I also tried Phoenix rom but I didn't like it. So I choosed OR like most close to stock and without Verizon stuff. Here comes my problem, it's like battery worse at 20% in comparison with stock. For night drain is like 6-8%, at stock it was around 2-3%. I did calibration twice, I use same apps that I used at stock +-. So I d like to know, did I something wrong with flashing Rom, can be this problem connected with OptimalRom, or I should look for some app that leak my battery? Also percentage is pretty strange. First 10% (100-90) leak like superfast. I also installed amplify (xposed app) but it doesn't seem to help. I also had "system ui has sfopped" couple times. With hope for good advices, sincerely yours, android naab.

i9500 lollipop Battery Drain Kernel or ROM

I need advise for what to try next:
- should i try different ROM (official or custom)
- Or try another 5.0.1 firmware from sammobile (for different region) or it's worthless to try since all is 5.0.1 , or possibly try 6.0.1 related to different region as long as it's english.
Or i should revert back to older firmware [kitkat for example] and install a relevant ROM
My current info and results:
- Battery performance is very low; 7-10 hour with active usage (typical phone calls and browsing , screen on), Arround 15 hour idle (wifi,sync on).
- This is official 5.0.1 insalled by OTA
- The problem is an old one , which might had been caused by Lolipop upgrade.
- i've removed samsung bloatware, minimum necessary apps => same problem
- tried to check effect of [Sync: on-off], [mobile: on-off] [wifi: 0n-off] but the whole battery life time changed with arround by max 10% for each, none showed great improvement for this 10 hour lifetime battery.
- Top battery consumer is always android OS & android system & display (depending it's idle or used).
Regarding the Battery:
- i don't think it's a battery problems since it's a new battery with good reviews, the stock one is weaker, another cheaper battery gave lower number.
Current version Lollipop 5.0.1, PDA I9500XXUHOH6
I think you should try a custom rom and custom kernel
FirstFlight N7 Themed V6 + nevermore kernel is my suggestion

Insane battery drain

hi guys, i had this battery drain that made me go around with a 20k mah powerbank everyday for a while and i bought a new battery thinking it was a hardware issue but at least in the past day(i tried it only for a day) the new battery isn't any better, i also use greenify and naptime but still comes from 100 to 40 in 1 hour or less, is there a fix to that?
I'm currently running rr official nougat 5.8.3 with franco 3.10 kernel i don't know anymore what to do
i tried battery configurator but didn't help.
i also changed the type c connector but i don't think it has anything to do, i swapped it when i changed the battery.
I'm not sure how much my answer is going to help but please try to upgrade the OP2 firmware to the latest one and then clean install the custom OS on it. It happened to me too but not to an extent of yours and it got fixed by clean flashing the custom ROM. P.S I was already on the latest OP2 firmware.

[SM-P600] What ROM are you guys using, suggestions?

I'm trying to use my tablet more, which I haven't because it gets hot in the back and the charger is slow to charge the battery... I thought of seeing if there's a decent alternative ROM.
Currently I'm on LOS 14.1 (2018-12-23) - any suggestions?
https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1-Deathly/n1awifi/
Charging is fast as long as you use the original charging adapter...
On the deathly build you can set the charging current with the included app "Deathly Auditor" (customized Kernel Auditor).
it drains the battery very fast! is there another better Rom that you recommend?
Here is a highly regarded custom ROM for the Note 10.1 2014: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-p600-wifi-t3606313
I been flashing my sm-600 wifi for 5 years now, here is what I experienced. I have tried all roms for my device and it seems no custom rom charges as fast as the lastest stock roms even though it's 5.1. the nougat roms and the couple marshmallow roms all charge very slowly. I have tried different cables and chargers and even a new battery only to find out that it was the roms. I used Accu battery to finally figure that out. So stick with stock, all apps and Samsung browser work just fine and it will charge in half the time with a 2.0 charger. I also removed all Google apps and download and upgrade my apps though apkmirror and all work just fine with stock rom, I hope this helps.

There’s LineageOS 14.1, 17.1, and 18.1, all available in the device forums.
My SM-P600 is currently running an old version of LOS (14.1-20200411). It seems stable, but I'm wondering if it's still worth an update - would I likely see any improvement? Or, am I better sticking with the old; if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
What would be the most stable rom and build? Looking through the Dev threads, it looks like some of the LOS 18.1 aren't too stable, but I'd rather stability and battery life over more recent Android.

Hi, can I have this link too?
Is this the official stock ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-official-firmware-5-1-1-sm-p605.3235912/
Thanks
In 2023, if someone is still using this tablet like me, I recommend the Android 10 version. It works best when very few apps are installed and can run most apps in the playstore.

Hey body, how were you able to install the android 10 in this piece of art of tablet. I'm still using it and it´s amaze. But I'm using the 7.1 .
I've been using LineageOS 14 for a while, and it has pros and cons:
Pros: better battery performance, Android 11 with updated features and apk versions, no more forced to keep installed ****ty OEM's software.
Cons: at least 1 random crash per day, S-Pen didn't work as smooth as with the original firmware (probably due to some Samsung S-Pen framework), I only managed to take notes on PDFs buying Squid (no Write on PDF available) and palm rejection didn't work anyway.
Since last Sunday (June 11th) WiFi and Home button had stopped working, so I decided to go back to the official 5.1.1 firmware. Now everything works again, and I can again edit PDFs with S-Pen and its palm rejection (which I missed so much).
I will continue using 5.1.1 unless somebody can guarantee that there is any Lineage build in which S-Pen works with as much quality as in the official firmware.
