Battery draining strange on J530F, cell standby and device idle - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I am using a j5 2017 but it.s very strange battery drains quite fast in comparison with the old phone. I see strange drain at Cell standby and device idle. I will post some photos, I don.t understand why it drains battery for staying idle. Thanks very much, help is appreciated. Cheers.
PS: j5 is brand new, 1day old... Is this hardware failure? Although i.ve read others are complaining same problem.

Screenshots are here

That's normal man. 48% of screen because you use phone and 12% cell phone is about one longer call. It holds about day so it's okay. If you want to push it longer just root it and install custom rom + grenify

Thanks for answer

Hi folks,I am using samsung j5-00f model.
I am facing the following problems
1.mobile not charging (although it shows charging)
2.As I was saying "It shows charging".. it behaves strange.. it controls iself
...now as I remove/unplug the cable .. it still behaves strange(controls itself)...( untill I restart the device)
3.I have formatted the mobile... yet not charging
4.I have tested with a new battery ( yet it just shows charging but it doesn't) .. confirms that battery works good
5.tried different cables and chargers ( includuing original and trubo )
someone please help me ... I recently have had my mobile motherboard changed ... so I am kinda worried if that
happens again .... ( please let me know how far would this issue cost go if I submit it to a service centre...
do I really have to change its motherboard or might it just get fixed by changing the connector or port or ic
something like that..) ... additionally,using an extenal battery charger I came to know that the battery is working
fine...
update : its been a month and the service center guy keeps postponing ... says ic is not available
please help me ... Thanks in advance...

Battery problems

Hi,
I konw there are so many of these threads but I've problem with a brand new battery..
I've a brand new battery and have calibrated properly after flashed ddjp6 with fugumod ultra...
Now when I play a game or use internet, it suddenly shut down (the phone) within 5 minutes even at 91% battery.
And when I started phone I put on charging, it copleted in 15 to 20 minutes...
Again use , again shut down...
Any one can help..
Thanks in advance...
Is it an original battery?
Ya
It's from samsung store...
Mine is also new nd facing same problem...

Is this a problem with some app?
Because phone shuts down before 0 battery...
I had this problem but it was solved after buying a new battery. Your new battery may be defective...? I don't know, try your friend's battery or something first.

Calibrate your battery using battery calibration app.. You can download it from market for free

I've tried it.
So I came to know that battery was 90% before starting internet,
Then shut down after a few minutes...
When I started the phone , it was 40%...
So before battery goes zero,
Phone, shut down...
Ive done it...
Battery 90%
Started internet
Phone shut down within a few minutes
Started the phone
Battery was 40%
That meabs before battery goes zero,
Phone shuts down
:what:
Is your problem solved?
Tell me if you get any soln...
I have the same problem! My battery is 1 year old. I changed few ROMs and Kernels, wiped batterystats... nothing helped!
I'm using internet for 5min. (100%->89% sometimes 70%) and than it shut down immediately.
connect it on charger (90%)
after 5-10min. charging, battery is 100%
without using it lasts for 3-5 hours.
Now I'm waiting for a new battery to come, and after I test it I will give a report.
Go to customer care...
I just have solved my problem...
If you can't find any other way...
so what did they tell you? you got a new battery? is it a problem in hardware or software?
I went to customer care and they are saying that its hardware problem
To nidjo 16
If your problem not get solved after a new battery, go for store,
Because we already have tried kernel and rom options...
My problem now get solved
Hope your problem get solved...
Well they told me that it was some hardware problem...
Though they didn't tell me about the problem exactly,
My phone is working good and that is what I need
I'm having the same problem.
Have anyone tried replacing the battery?
If the battery is even slight bend,
Replace it
Rude customer service by samsung
Samsung service centre in RK Mutt rd, Chennai is very very Hostile to customer.
I was treated worst by the 4 jokers at the counter
everyone acting busy and thats what prompted me to find this wonderful forum..
The battery problem can be solved as follows:
1. Discharge battery by games or any high battery consuming apps
2. Charge the phone overnight [it may take 5-10 full discharge cycles for battery to understand and give a good backup!!
3. delete Battery stats using CWM
Try an alternate kernel..
Some modifications I got with my customer care (which is very good! )
For 1
Charge after battery goes below 20 at least once a month...
For 2
Don't charge over night, when the battery is new...
At least for the first time
More stuff
Do not use much during charging...
At least internet or wifi
And don't charge for too much time...
(i mean when battery level is still high for use)
Cheers....
Had same problem
used a new Rom and new Kernel and tried so much.
Battery Calibration dont helped.
then i changed battery and yeah that helped since the new battery all is working well
But yeah if it helps I must say that i charged my phone most time via usb and used it for internet via usb teethering, now i only charge it over night and the battery stays much longer
When only use it for music and use internet only shot or use wlan then it stays for 3 or more Days and i think that is very good for an android phone !

[Q] Popup low battery notification doesn´t shows up

Hello everyone,
I recently bougth (1 month) my samsung google nexus 10, and when i connected him, at home, i see that it comes with 4.2.
When i connect it to my network by wifi, automaticaly upgrade the system , now i have 4,4,2 KOT49H.
My problem is, my tablet rarely popups the low battery notification. I tried to install some app i find in google store, and i find this one, battery notifier bt free 99, where i can set a custom sound for low and full charge battery.
But no way to work neither.
I install this app in 2 other devices android (1 tablet , 1 smartphone) with android 4,2.2 and it´s works.
Do you have also this problem with yours google nexus 10, or it´s just me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Sorry but I don't quite understand your problem. Is it only not showing the low battery? Maybe it's the case that it doesn't even get to 15%, which is the first notification. My tablet, for example, is shutting down on 20%, so it doesn't show the notification. If that's your case as well, then you should recalibrate your battery (I need to do with mine as well ).
If that's not the problem, then I'll need to examine further... For now, just make it clearer for me .

I had to buy a new battery mine would always say 100% but when it was dead the tablet would shut down I could recharge but still always reported 100 are you having the same problem? Mine was brand new from eBay he sent me another tablet and said I could send my old one back or keep it for 75 so I did that a battery is around 40 on eBay and is easy to replace. For me anyways.

hey my battery on my nexus 10 is not acting up. It will charge to 100% but soon as I unplug it, it will shut down a few sec/mins later and while completely off it show that the battery is either 0% or 100%, but wont boot up pass the animation screen. If I leave it plugged in for a while it boots up all the way and then it shows that its at 0%. However after only a few mins it will show that it is 100% working. So Im not sure if its the actual battery or some sort of corruption between the actually battery level and the data file that shows u the battery level. The funny thing is that I can go in and navigate all through Recovery Mode with now problem....even when the tablet shows that its at 0% and wont boot up pass the animation screen. So Im really confused. Any suggestion or thoughts? Also if i have to swap the battery how easy or hard is it?

I have the same issue: battery stays at 100% no matter what I do. It is a NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY which I got over e-bay, to fix the old one which had the erratic behavior as decribed above (either 100% or 0%, not even booting up). I see 100% charge always, thoug it does react to AC (un)plug. What is the solution here? There is buch of people writing at forums to replace the battery, but it was not the fix for me. Is it possible that the replacement piece is broken as well? Or is it software? Or some pther hardware module, which may be replaced?

Maaann Ive done so much research on this and couldnt really find anything. I have no idea what the problem is....one part says its the battery....another part says its something else.....I think theres a miss-communication between the battery and the charger (I think). They are not speaking the same langue. But thats just my personal opinion. I took my tablet apart using a friend tool kit to see if maybe discounnecting the battery as well as the other port would do anything...but nope...nothing happened. I still get the same results. I was then forced to call Google...who ended up transferring me to samsung becuz Im not longer on warrant (time expired). Samsung said for $108 they should be able to diagnose..and fix my tablet (including shipping both ways), provided it doesnt have water damage or any physical damage. (which can lead to paying more money). Im just going to do that bcuz at least I know the work will be guaranteed. Im a bit nervous bcuz my tablet is rooted and has a custom rom on it, But at the same time it shouldnt matter bcuz im not in warranty anyways, So hopefully i'll be good.
All that being said.....I really dont which is causing the issue.

Battery problem

Hi,
I have problem with in Jiayu S3 2GB. Under 50% battery drop to 0% in few minutes. Also battery doesnt last long , max 3 hours screen time and it is problem to use it whole day withnout charging, but normally screentime should be around 6 hours what i read.
I recived phone with Android 5.1 2015-06-23 tryed flashing newer version 2015-07-14, also tryed battery calibration, fully charging, discharging few times and still same.
When is fully charged voltage is 4,2V (measuded with app battery calibration) at 50% is only around 3,6V (this is almost 0 capacity for lion battery) and is turning off at 3,4V.
Have anybody simmilar problem? It looks battery is bad not just software problem, but dont understand that it is showing 50% for that low voltage.
Thank you

IF you are on lollipop then its software problem as 5.1 seem to have the battery bug, and never calibrate battery on MTK devices, Calibration apps mess up MTK phone,they are not made for mtk devices.
I recieved phone with defective battery, after changing it dont have any battery problem even with Lollipop.
I noticed that battery discharging very fast below 8% (Stock 4.4.4 13.08 and other KK versions)
Well, i had different problem
My phone didnt charge, no matter how much i change cables or chargers.
But when the device was shut down, charged well.
I bought mine from pandawill, so i sent them a mail,and they sent me another battery...
In the meantime, the problem had solved, maybe the battery calibration i did helped.
Anyway,i got now 2 batterys...

I also have the problem and have the following conclusions:
1. Battery level will be displayed correctly after a reboot. Otherwise, the battery level indicator doesn't change as quickly as it should: it doesn't go up as fast while charging and doesn't go down enough when in use.
2. The point where the battery indicator starts going down by about 5%/minute varies and is in connection with the time it has been used. After two days without charging and without using the phone for more than one or two phone calls, it happened at around 5%, while lots of screentime made it happen when the indicator was above 50%. Some experimenting made it clear that it's not the battery's fault (in my case, at least) but rather a software problem.
Using stock KK 4.4.4.

Try to go battery settings and find out what application is eating your power.
Hi! I have this phone and few weeks ago I had a similar problem, when my phone had about 20%, it spend a lot of battery and in some minutes, it was without battery. I installed the Xtreme Rom and this was fixed. I hope you can fix your problem too with this.
Sorry for my bad english
Battery not charging when on - Solutions ?
Hi all,
My Jiayu will not charge when the fone is on, will only charge when switched off.
Any suggestions ?
Thanx Geoff
Known problem.
Saw it at my phone and in another phone.
How to solve: charge with original charger and cable and then switch to the other charger.
It worked for me twice.
Play it a little if its not working, switch cables,chargers, turn on and off...
Good luck.

Battery readings going completely wild

So recently my phone (unrooted unmodded N910C) battery is being extremely weird. When I try to charge my phone, it sometimes doesn't go beyond around 70-90% but if I take out the battery and put it back in, it shows 100%. It sometimes also shuts off on its own at around 40% and when I plug in a charger, it shows sometimes 0% and sometimes 40% (but if I turn it on, it still says 0%). I've tried a lot of things, including discharging completely and recharging to 100% (powered off), factory reset, clearing cache, and quick starting battery and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have similar problems and has anyone found a solution to this?
The problem is the battery ... the catode pin inside battery is not working properly. The motherboard of the phone it just reading the voltage and temperature of the battery. Your percentage shown on status bar is based on what current intensity is received from battery. So just replace the battery... esxuse my poor english

Are you sure it's the battery? I took it out and everything looks normal, including the pins. Also, battery apps said that my battery health was good or should I not trust them at all? I just don't want to buy an extra battery if the problem is not with the battery.
I meant the catode pin inside battery not outside. It's your call if you buy a battery or not. I just writed here how the proces work because i have fixed lot of motherboard i knowing about this i have explained to you. Cheers
i have the same problem too and i tested every things and now i am really tire , i dont think thats problem was the battery , can anybody help me plz?
Had similar problem yes new battery at the samsung store the assistant said many note 4 batteries selling I got the last one. Maybe we got a bad batch or its deliberate. Maybe we could do a survey how many people have had to buy a new battery
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA-Developers mobile app
I also posted a similar problem. In my case the problem is more alarming, because it's happening in two different batteries, one of them is rather new and fresh. It seems that it started out of the blue, I did not make any major change in the phone.
I am still investigating the issue, I'll be back with more observations.
Just an update on my situation: I bought a new battery and now the battery readings seem to be fine.
I had the same problem as you OP. The problem was definitely the battery for me at least. Bought a new one just the other week and now everything is working perfectly
If the affected battery is under warranty get it replaced for free. Or if the problem does not get solved after cross checking many possibilities. Just buy a new battery. Simple. Good luck.

Phone's laggy, bad battery life, toasty (only when outside)

I have A G935FD and when I first bought it. it was a bit laggy but much less than now. The battery lasted like 6h sot (8 months ago, fast charged it only once and it mostly started happening after that, also kept it next to a fan while doing that it's next to a fan while charging all the time since I already have one on my desk anyway).
When I'm outside even when I'm not doing anything special (Just talking to a friend on discord, Checking Instagram, reading an article on Google chrome) it gets very very very hot! it happens more in my grand mother's house for some reason. even though it still has full antenna there!
The battery life now is like 3.5H 3H 4H!
I'm currently downloading the Indonesia Firmware! maybe re flashing it with ODIN will help. mine was actually another but I guess since it was released later it's a bit better?!
can anyone help me?! any suggestions c:
Display drained 16%
Android System drained 12%
Idle is 9%
cell standby is 7%
android os is 7%
chrome 5%
Googleplay services 3%
instagram 3%
AnyConnect 3%
Disocr and wifi 1%
and that's most of them

Maybe I should try a custom rom? I rather use stock android but whatever you suggest! I rather only do it if necessary since it still has warranty and stuff!
First go into recovery mode , do a wipe cache and factory reset , if that doesnt solve the issue , flash the original stock firmware through odin , i would not recommend flashing a custom rom as your phone is under warranty. If after flashing , problems still persist , then for the lagness and heating i can't say , it may be a hardware problem , but for the battery you can do a calibration , turn off fast charging , and never use it , first your battery should be at 3% or 4% , enter this code in dailer *#0228# , when you enter this you will see a info page but dont touch or tap anything especially that quickstart option ... dont try to touch that. just press back button and exit the menu, now drain your battery till phone doesnt turn on , then go in download mode , and let the phone be in download mode till it is dead again , now the battery is completely drained , now put the phone on charge and dont touch it until it is 100% and green light shows, it should improve battery , but if that doesnt improve anything and lagness/heat is still there , then you should go to samsung service centre and claim warranty if anything is faulty, btw my current SOT time is 6 to 7 hours , i dont experience heatness issue in normal use , and there is not that much of lagness that would annoy me. Good luck to you.

Draining my battery to 0 sounds scary since i know li-ion batteries but I guess I'll give it a try. I don't think the warranty will be useful but I'll try anyway c: Thanks a lot! <3
I'll update this further in case anyone's wondering but I flashed the newest firmware with odin and didn't use the Home_csc. But I want to say already everything feels smoother. But battery will take a bit to judge. It's still at 80% but I removed it from my fake wireless charger and moved it to wired (not fast though) to speed up things and let it cool down slightly (I should add a manual fan to it ) and i'll update here c:
Thanks for yourhelp!
Always do a factory reset and wipe cache after flashing a new firmware , also dont use fake chargers as they may also cause these heating ptoblems , well i also suffer heating issue when using tethering while charging , have you tried using any temp monitoring software to know how hot it gets ?

32 degree while wireless cahging while using the phone it gets up to 37 and 38
the odin re flash did help a little. but my battery life is 4H sot. Didn't heat up much though.

Wow bro your phone is even cool than mine :laugh:
Anyways do a battery calibration as i posted earlier , doing this one time in a month won't harm your battery lifespan
Without calibration it actually got 5-5:30 battery life to absolute 0%. recalibration actually made it a bit worse but I guess I'm ok with that! it's not as bad as 3-4h now and I can use it without having to recharge it in middle of the day.
and also life advice:
if you disable fast charging it gets MUUUCH cooler my case (fake samsung charger that supports it, wireless ofc) and put a small 80mm pc fan next to it and I bet you it won't go higher than 27 degrees on any condition
disable fast charging
