Brand new battery charges way too fast? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So a few days ago I bought a brand new Samsung OEM battery and battery life is indeed better than what I had with the old one but I have a question that's bothering me. My phone charges for around 1h40mins from 0 to 100%. Is this ok? I'm on Nemesis Reborn v5 ROM using Espheni Kernel, fast charging is disabled in Kernel Audiutor app and I'm using a USB 2.0 cable with my original charger that came with the phone. Should I be worried that it says it needs only ~1h40mins to fully charge or it's fine? Worth noting is that it actually takes a bit longer than that, somewhere around 2 hours. But yeah, I don't know why it shows such a low estimate and am worried that something might not be ok. Any ideas? Right now I'm doing this just in case: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device#battery-issue

Hi again, my battery takes 1h50 to fully charge. This is what get the majority of users (search on youtube too, the S5 during charging tests takes the same time). I suggest you to enter *#0228* on your phone dialer (after unplugging the charger) and press "quick start"; then plug it again and charge to 100 %.

Those secret codes don't work for me xd
Hm, if you charge it for 1h50mins then I'm fine since I charge about the same time. I just thought it was longer a year or two ago but guess not, thanks

ZTE V880 leaked GingerBread ROM battery ends too fast!!

Hi all!
Can you tell me how I can fix the battery?
I use ZTE V880 (china blade) lealed GingerBread which are fixed for ZTE!
It is good and fast but battery ends too fast: I don't use it still battery ends 12% in 2 hours!
Can fix it easily?
Unfortunately I have that exact same problem, no matter whatever ROM I use.
I'm now trying CM7 nightly 151 and crossing my fingers.
Have you checked whether an app is draining your battery e.g. always trying to connect to GPS or something?

OK, I use now good ROM stir fry or what it is the ROM name
it is good and battery life is pretty nice...
CM 7 nightly is maybe good but my phone widgets not work if I use CM7

Yes, I've thoroughly checked everything, I just don't know what could I have missed.
Set the phone profile to smartass, using setcpu helped a bit too.
GPS, 3G and WiFi are only connected on demand too.
I've noticed a constant CPU usage around 30%, though I don't know how to check which apps are the responsible for this.

first time CM7 work fine and then later I can't add widgets or move them + add selection not work if I touch the screen...
and I cant find one fully working GingerBread ROM!
maybe I need to buy other phone or I need to us my old phone Samsung Jét... -.-
no way
same as your issue. no way to fix it.
uh.. I didn't remember that I made this thread, I don't use ZTE Blade anymore, i use Galaxy nexus and with that battery life is same as on CyanogenMod N257 on ZTE Blade.. So pretty horrible battery life..
on this ROM maybe kernel changing will make battery better if not then baseband radio changing what maybe is not possible on ZTE Blade bacuse it's maybe included to the boot.img.
The batterry of the blade is not so horrible, i can easily stay 2 days without charging, 1 day in heavy usage

[Q] strange battery drain: fast to 1% and like that forever!

Hello!
I bought a new battery (original motorola) from amazon a few weeks ago and it drains in a strange way... it goes down from 100% to 1% in like 3 hours and then stays at 1% for 3 more hours... does anybody know the reason of this?
I already wiped battery stats (manually from recovery and with battery calibrator)... at the beginning i thought it was a matter of time, that the battery would have worked after a few complete cycles of charge but it didn't go that way!
thank you all!
Here goes a screenshot of my battery status... and i'm still using the phone at 1%...

I had the same problem with my phone when I got it and I tried everything with battery calibration and such.
In the end it was a mix of several problems:
1st my battery was crap. I tested all the batteries I could find on ebay from any company and I didnt have the 1% issue in the end anymore but the voltage was crap.
I got an original hf5x battery in the end, no drops and everything is fine.
Also try this:
Get Battery Monitor Widget Pro-->Calibration-->set the output voltage of the charger and read the data what the battery tells you.
The cheap ones say 1150 or so, my hf5x told my 1700.
Then charge-->uncharge-->... and battery monitor widget pro is dormant and calculates the real voltage of the battery.Then click on "Update mAh" and set it to the setting the app tells you to.
Thats your real voltage, no 1% issue in the end anymore.
Most possible that your battery is a fake which hasn't the required capacities. Is often happen with after-market batteries.
Thank you very much dude! Could this fix the "drops" problem of the original battery too?
I bought this one because the original one had 20% drops...

that battery drain

Hello I just bough a s4 because my old iphone 4s battery was draining really really fast and now i have this phone for 5 days and the battery goes kinda very fast away... I just rooted it to delete all the nonsense apps and it spaced up like 300mb of ram on it and I counted: 1% goes in 4 minutes of just touching my phone in 0 brightness. Is this normal for this phone? I already formated it few times. Please help.
Not its not normal.Install GSam Battery Monitor and check Kernel WakeLocks.And post result.Good Luck.
S4 batteries have a problem. Go to samsung service center and exchange it.

well if it's the battery itself i think it's better if i just buy it 20€ is a new one because if i send my phone to the service it's going to cost 10€ to send it to them and back and i probably won't have it back in 2 weeks...
So this when i open the app, shoudn't the mA be higger than that?
edit: after unplugging it it has only 460 mA -.-'
Click first icon down on left.And click on View Kernel WakeLock post the first result.:good:.
I have too WakeLock fix it by delete Cache in Settings/More/Storage!After that Settings/More/Application Manager press Menu Button and click Reset app preferences.Good Luck!
If new battey is at a reasonable price go for it. But take care that new batteries are cured from old batteries problems so beware when you purchase. Also there are anker batteries which are good too.
Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
I'm only going on the phone to write an sms and 5 times on snapshot+wifi and then turn it off and the % flies away -.-'
So it's the battery?
check your battery if it is swollen (thick)
Yes as he said, check if battery is swollen.

The battery looks normal to me. The battery sleept well but after some use its already decreasing, only to post this it took 1%...
So any 1 i should get a new battery right ?

Well if your battery is draining 1% every 4 minutes with screen on, then you should get around 6 hours display on time which I would consider is pretty normal...

Youd find changing the iphone battery is easy.Take out the 2 screws and slide off back cover.Then take off 2 screws that hold battery connector,then prize out old battery.
They are only £5 off ebay.

Had no idea an iPhone battery would fit an SGS4. Not much use anyway as it has a much and much smaller capacity. But thx anyway :good:

Terrible battery life

attery life after 7.0 update is terrible, first beta was great I got 6-7 hour of SOT, now I get only 2 hours, what about you guys ? (4G always on, AOD on, internet browsing, messenger, light gaming)
That's suprising. I am getting great battery life since Nougat 7.0
Stock firmware.
Around 110 apps installed
No battery saving apps (such as Greenify).
No apps are optimized for battery saving.
Always on Display enabled.
Auto Brightness Enabled
GPS turned on
Sync turned on

lol yeah maybe the guy who posted should drop accu battery app to begin with. :/ don't know.
My battery life is on par with my original March 2016 MM release, which is pretty decent. I did have huge battery season at first on nougat, but removing the built in news app seemed to resolve this. Not sure if that was coincidence though.
Which rom are you guys using? I have 7.0 BTU. Battery life is average, not better than MM. 4.5 hours.

That's obnoxious man. Mine is not even draining 1%/h when it's standby.
Generally I'm so satisfied with s7e battery, whole day with data/WiFi turned on, still remains like 20% when I'm going to bed.

Having the same issue. unplugged at 100% and went to sleep for 5 hours. came back and the phone was at 72%. Not normal at all for me.
standby is great but while using the phone the battery drains a lot more in nougat than marshmallow, even the hd and fhd options seems useless coz they don't help a lot with saving the battery. the moment i unlock my device and start using it the battery starts to drop immediately .may be need to visit service centre.
Using the device for more than 1 hour and its showing 38 minutes moreover no detail of usage is it a bug? Fee minutes ago it was showing correct

I don't think doing any SW related stuff will do anything so you just have to wait and judge till you get current sot your new battery giving irrespective of full charge.
Also,how much time you waited to see if your old battery actually has a life before you changed it? I mean you obviously judge atleast 10 days before changing to see if its actually happening everytime after using any custom kernels or so,right?
I hace been testing diferent roms and kernels since dicember. Because I wanted to improve battery life. However I am not getting, the same SOT as other people says. In fact I get much less SOT thar everybody. So i decided to change muy battery

Yes 2-2:30 hrs of SOT is too low to accept.Till then test your new battery.

Drain your phone to 0% by playing games or music or anything you wish to
Now after the phone turns off itself, plug in your charger and let it charge over night(dont turn on your phone after connecting to charger)
Wake up in the morning and turn on the phone and use again till it becomes 0% again and after that charge it as you do normally and check if 100% shows up!
