I've a friend that was updated his s4 zoom to kitkat and also got rooted, then his phone is unable to charge...
when the battery come to 0% then he tried to charging the phone (it should show the battery icon and still like that until we turn on the phone) but his phone always on automaticly and his phone dead after that cause not optimally charged (still 0%) so it's always turn on then turn off automaticly until he stop to charge the phone...
Now he just turn on the download mode then charging the phone for several hours then he turn on the phone so he'll get the battery charged around 10-20% then charging it normaly.so,is there any way to fix this?
thx.
If you are charging with device stock charger then it should charge properly but if you are using any other charger of samsung then it won't charge properly.
It is a thing with voltage. Normal charger are output .5 A volt and s4 zoom charger are 1 A.
Also you can try out battery calibration app from paly store to delete old rom battery traces.

This morning I used my sister's Samsung Champ's charger to charge my Galaxy 5. I didn't keep it in for long (20 - 30 min) but when I removed it, the battery started showing low charge warnings; I tried charging with my laptop using the cable that came with the phone and it showed 70% charged immidately, but when I removed it, it showed <14% warning again.
I tried to drain the battery completely and then recharge it, but the battery is still draining fast. Please help, the phone is only 2 months old...
Did you do a full charge?
I don't see why using other chargers effect your phone, I always use blackberry chargers and have no problem, try charging to 100%, draining to 0% a few times, see if it helps

It might have nothing to do with using the wrong charger, you might just have the signal glitch where your phone is constantly searching for signal when it already has it, my phone started to do it recently, to check if this is the issue go to Settings, Phone Info, Battery Useage, Signal, then if it says something like Time without signal 50% then that is the issue.
Try this;
Unplug your phone
Turn Airplane Mode on for about 10 seconds
Turn Airplane Mode off
Restart phone.
That fixed my battery life- it was going for 80% battery to 10% in under 5 minutes.
It was working fine before I went to bed last night, then I let it charge for the night since that battery was at about 4%, But this morning it won't turn on at all. The battery feels warm as if its been charging but nothing seems to be making it turn on. Any ideas?

If it was my phone here is what I would do.
First I would see if the phone charges the battery by putting the battery into
the phone and plug the usb cable from phone into the wall charger or into
the computer.
If the display on phone shows a picture of a battery charging let it charge
for an hour more or less and try turning on the phone.
If the phone is not charging the battery I would purchase a cheapy battery
charger and battery combo on eBay.
You can find this combo on eBay for less than $8 bucks shipped for both the battery and charger:

(even if you decide to return and exchange the phone its still a good thing to have a spare battery and charger)
Check it out.
Good Luck!

are you on cm7? not sure about the s2 (never had the issue), but i know that on the infuse, there was a problem (or maybe it was intentional) with low power charging mode (phone wouldn't charge when off).
i think this can be solved by trying to charge the phone via your computer usb, as opposed to your OEM wall charger.
Thanks for the suggestion. It definitely isn't showing the picture of the battery when its plugged in to the wall or the computer. I'm debating the battery charger combo you linked.
I actually am. But I have it plugged to my computer and nothings changed.
Time for some trouble shooting.
Start eliminating possibilities. You need to determine where the problem is.
From what you say, it seems possible that the battery is completely discharged but not recharging. That could be a bad battery or it could be the phone.
If you know someone else with an SGS II, try inserting their battery temporarily to see if your phone will boot. If you don't know someone else, maybe you can borrow a charged battery from the store where you bought it.
Continue on until you pinpoint the problem.
Do NOT buy a "cheapie" battery for your SGS2. Unless you want to eisk causing damage. The stock battery for the SGS2 has NFC technology built into it. Using anything other than OEM could cause damage/performance issues to your phone, and void the warranty.

Have goh tried a battery pull? Unplug the phone, pull the battery and let sit for a few minutes to allow tbe IC's to discharge. Put battery back in and try powering up the device. Good luck.

Similar issue and got phone fixed finally
Have had similar issue as yours. Cable charger was plugged into the phone to be charged at night and was surprised to find that the phone became hot and battery was not charged at the next morning, in fact the battery level got lower than it was before charging.
Notes:
- ROM in use: AOCP version 7.2 (Android 4.4.2)
- Kernel in use: Version 3.0.101 [email protected] #3
Here are some tests done and the observations after getting a charger with a slot to place the removed battery for charging:
1. Charging via USB cable connected to PC:
- With the phone turned on, battery charging icon is only displayed after some wiggling at the charging port. The phone got charged further to 100% when the initial remaining battery level is 90%. However, when the initial battery level was less than 50%, the battery level continued dropping ALTHOUGH the battery charging icon was displayed.
- With the phone turned off, battery charging icon is only displayed after some wiggling at the charging port. When the initial battery level was less than 50%, the battery charging icon displayed only a battery level of 1% and the battery level did not increase at all after 15 minutes of charging.
Initially suspected that it was a dead battery issue and bought an i9100 battery, I thought it was a compatible battery at first. With the i9100 battery, I repeated the above tests.
2. Charging via USB cable connected to PC:
- With the phone turned on, battery charging icon is only displayed after some wiggling at the charging port. The phone got charged further to 100% when the initial remaining battery level is 90%. However, when the initial battery level was less than 50%, the battery level continued dropping ALTHOUGH the battery charging icon was displayed.
- With the phone turned off, battery charging icon is NOT displayed but the phone screen flashed continuously, and at times the phone is turned on automatically as the USB charging port is inserted. When the phone is turned on, the charging proceeded as the above sentence.
Upon searching the forum, I found that i777 has a different battery with NFC chip and i9100 battery has reported to cause issues during charging on i777 devices. There was also a Chinese forum which mentioned that the battery compatibility issues should have been overcome in ROM with Android version 4.0 and above.
I then bought a new i777 compatible battery and tested charging via USB cable. The observations are same as the first battery as at 1.
With the battery issues possibility eliminated, I approached a phone technician to examine the phone by telling him that the phone couldn't be charged and the battery level continued dropping even with the battery charging icon displayed. The phone technician then thought that the USB charging port to be the cause of the charging issue and replaced it. The replaced part is the small metal housing where the USB cable is inserted, and is replaced by heating the old metal housing and replacing it with new part by soldering.
The phone could be charged with USB cable as usual after the part replacement and all the batteries are found to be still working fine. Ended up with 2 i777 batteries and a i9100 battery, may be I could continue using this phone for at least another 5 years down the road.
Having a few small problems with my phone. I sent it back recently to have the USB port changed and was given a new battery, and now when using ICS (LPB) build, when the battery is more than 50% it says its charging when its not connected (in system - status it says it is disconnected). Using the Samsung ICS it says charging paused because of over voltage. CM it just says charging. If I try to reboot with a nearly full battery, it gets stuck on the off-mode charging animation, meaning I have to reinsert a different battery. This has now carried over to GB (KK5), charging indicator saying charging, charging animation when off etc. Any ideas? Is this a battery/charger problem or a phone problem? Don't want to send the phone back again for a fortnight for some rubbish fix that won't hold.
So basically,
1. Battery more than 50%, phone thinks its charging.
2. Turn off with more than 50%, phone will play charging animation and won't turn on (just reboots/loops to charging animation, even when plugged into charger)
Now happening in both GB and ICS. Any help? "Might" just accidentally use it near liquid and claim insurance, but that's last resort.
Anyone help? Or is anyone else experiencing this?

You need to root and use battery calibration app from the Play store.
Standard samsung practice was the same on the note samsung state 100 percent but never actually fully charge to 100 when unplugged will normally drop to 98 percent. Not a fault but a protection method custok kernels can remove this and did was the same for some asus tabs and galaxy tabs

I believe that works for the charging on many devices.
You can sometimes notice this behavior if you leave plugged for a few after the full charge:
my understanding is that to protect the battery, the charging process will actually stop at 100%, allowing the battery to discharge slightly, then will charge up again and so on and so on. So if you unplug it right when it hits 100%, maybe it'll show that number?
Hi guys, i consider myself an intermediate around the android OS and i have tried most solutions that came to my head with no results.
My problem is the following:
My xperia ray is running stock rom ICS and is rooted. That's it
One day my battery suddenly drained to 0% and phone shut off.
Since then, i cannot charge it. Whenever i plugged it, the led blinks red /sometimes keep blinking/something always red/sometimes the phone boots after 10 seconds from entering the main page it will reboot.
I turned on my phone, but the phone is not charging
Well when it's plugged in, the lockscreen says charging. The battery icon has the flash sign on it. It is recognized by my Laptop. But the battery status is discharging and i monitored the voltage, it was decreasing.
Phone connected to the computer and files to it.
I connect the phone to a charger for charging sign on the lock screen comes and goes charging and discharging the battery light blinks phone.
Most of the time I connect a phone off the charger is charging the phone
The phone will not charge more than 83%
I much RAM is installed on my phone
Types 4.0.4-4.4
And the
Android 5
But the phone is not charging
