I tried 3 different cables and a wall charger, all of them are behaving same. what could be i am doing wrong?

I will try pulling the battery in my next charging.

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------

I already tried this couple of times...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Install CurrentWidget.

In the settings, near the bottom, there are settings for "operator on value" - Set it to divide by 1.83.

Then plug in your device when it's discharged below 80%.

Currentwidget should report 600 mA if you applied the correction factor above. If it reports 1100, you forgot the "operator on value" settings.

If it reports 475 mA, your device thinks it's connected to a USB charger for some reason.

The problem is people keep on coming from other devices, and they've been trained so long by HTC devices (most of which use coulomb counter fuel gauges) that they need to "recalibrate" their battery and let it "settle in".

Note that the GSII may also require battery calibration - it does have an updated fuel gauge chipset. But ours does not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
I just installe it, I will test this, once my battery is below 80%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
current wideget is showing around 600mA. So I hope its fine.

Currently i am at 78% @ 2.06 PM est. Lets see when it will be 100%

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

89% at 2.33

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

12 to 13 % in 30 mins, ie 4 hours to full charge, that is the problem...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
Is it the same with phone off and charging as with phone on

and charging
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Phone asleep and charging and phone completely off should be fine. Phone in use will take longer.

Also, the reason I said to measure at less than 80% is because as you reach 85-90%, you hit 4.2 volts and the charge circuit goes into constant-voltage mode - in this region, charging takes longer.

Measuring time to go 10-15% is WAY too inaccurate for any remotely decent estimate of total recharge time. ESPECIALLY if that 10-15% is near the top of the battery. Our fuel gauge probably has on the order of +- 3-4% error. For example, once I saw it drop 10% in 30 minutes, but then it recharged 10% in only 5 minutes. The 10% "drop" wasn't real.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
When phone is off, it charges 40% per hour.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
Maybe you have apps running that are draining your battery as you charge. Thats why its taking longer. If you are charging 40% an hour off, shouldn't be anything wrong with battery, phone, charger etc, I would think. Like Entropy512 said, Phone in use will take longer to charge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
How can I check which apps are running? I have advance task killer in crazy level and frequency as when screen off.

And my task manager shows active applications as 0.

FYI: I am getting good battery life more than 15 hours. but only charging is my issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Couple options.

1. Start uninstalling stuff. Start with advanced task killer.

2. download 'betterbatterystats' from the market and see what wakelocks are running.

I'm also starting to think that you have some app running in the background that's using more than it should, and we don't know what all you have installed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Wakelock stats are inhibited when on the charger - charging holds a fundamental wakelock at all times. However even though the device is wakelocked, power usage when screen-off should be minimal.

We have a 1750 mAh battery, and charge current is 600 mA without kernel hacks. So the best case is that it would take around 3 hours from 0% to 100%. Since CPU usage is is taken out of this limit, time will be a bit longer. Also the last 10-15% is slower.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
That's what I get for posting while exhausted (woke up way too early today).

Good points Entropy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TOA Duck:
My battery was doing same thing. It would get really hot. It was a bad battery. Took it back and exchanged for another phone. Gotta love Walmart. If you can't exchange it....buy another battery. I use mine heavy all day and i still have 40-50% left at night. I am overclocked to 1600 with only slight undervolt also. Before i could not make it until 5 o'clock without needing a boost.

I know you said battery life was not the issue...but before i exchanged...it took mine ALLLLL night to charge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
I have following APPs on my phone:

1. Advanced Task Killer (as per your suggestion, i am uninstalling it now)

2. Bank of America

3. Battery Monitor

4. Chase

5. Current Widget

6. Discover (installed yesterday to check the current while charging)

7. doubleTwist

8. facebook

9. JuiceDefender

10. movietickets.com

11. Opera Mobile

12. Ringtone Maker (installed just 1 hour back)

13. ROM Manager

14. Testfree

15. XDA forums

Other apps, came with Infused ROM.

Hope this gives you some idea.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

I already tried 3 different batteries, 2 differnt phones and 3 differnt cables/chargers. so I dont think its battery problem, its some settings problem.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

My phone always charges @ 20 to 25% per hour, whether if it is at 20 or 50 or 80. no change.

I dont know what I am doing wrong..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
Your on Infused ROM right. Have you maybe tried going back to stock, how was battery charging while you had it at stock? Maybe try to reflash the ROM again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
I rooted and installe ROM, to get better battery charging. I had this problem from day one, I have this phone. I tried exchanging phone once, but the problem continued, finally, I rooted and installed Infused ROM.

Still no improvement.

I think I have some bad settings or bad app, but what is that..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
And these other batteries and chargers you tried, all samsung products, not aftermarket?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Yes, all of them are from Samsung, got from bestbuy/ATT
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
hmm. Have you tried to disable wifi and gps while charging. Trying to think of anything you can do, I'm not sure any of the apps you posted would drain your battery to much while charging.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
I always keep wifi and GPS off. I never use wifi, i use GPS, only when I am driving to a new place.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
Pull your battery, see if your terminals have something on them, wipe them off. Are you charging from the same outlet, or have you tried others, maybe a different location. How does it do with car charger?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
My android system capacity is 276.1M and available is 37.7M, is this could be a problem?

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

I checked the battery terminals, every thing looks normal.. I tried different outlets in home and office. still no improvement.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
He's confirmed using CurrentWidget that he's hitting 600 mA charge rate - so his external charging hardware is fine.

I think your expectations may just be too high. As I said, ABSOLUTE best case is 3 hours to charge, and that's assuming a 100% ideal scenario (100% of charge current going into the battery, 100% efficiency of converting electricity to stored chemical energy, etc. None of which are going to happen in reality. In reality probably 80-90% of your current goes into the battery, and 80-90% of that gets converted into stored charge, so I'd expect 4-5 hours charge time from 0 to 100.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
May be i am used to my iphone, which charges in 1 to 1.5 hrs.

But I heard from my friends who are able to charge infuse in 1 hour (30 to 100%) and even in this forum few people said they can charge in less than 2 hours. When every one able to charge so fast, why my phone is charging only 20% per hour. This 20% per hour is at any time, may b 0to 20 or 40 to 60 or 80 to 100.

If 4 hours chargin time is normal, then I will stop thinking about charging time and always keep it connected to charger, but why i am unable to charge, when others are able to do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
i don't think anyone can charge an infuse that quickly. if they say they can charge in under 2 hours, they are either lying, or just not paying attention and actually timing how long it takes. i would definitely like to see proof of that, which should not be hard to produce at all.

3.5-4.0 hours for a full charge is right, as Entropy512 has been saying all along. the man has clearly done his battery research. also, if i run my phone down to 5%, it most certainly takes at least 3.5 hours to get it back up to 100%.

i understand that is kind of slow - especially coming from an iphone - but that's just the way the phone is. i believe it is also a higher-capacity battery than the iphone's (correct me if i'm wrong), and a high-capacity battery for smartphones in general - so the extra battery capacity adds extra charge time.

you could always just charge it for a half hour here and there, or charge it while you're sleeping... or like you said, keep it plugged in all the time, thereby removing your mobile phone's "mobile" functionality. but the bottom line is that your charge time is not an anomaly - that's how it is for everyone's phone on the OEM samsung charger.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Making the battery charge slower can also save wear and tear on the battery, right? I think it is true that the charging speed stays the same, because mine has also done that. Having it charge so fast seems impossible with this size of a battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yes. Charging at C/1 is MUCH more stressful on a battery than charging at C/3.

And there's no way someone charged from 0 to 100 in less than 2 hours unless they were using an aftermarket battery that had actual capacity less than rated.

Even with charginghacks (800 mA charge current), that would take over 2 hours.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Thanks for all your information. As per recent posts, I am assuming 3.5 hrs is normal time for an infuse to charge. In that case, I will leave it as it is.

Today I observed something strange...

Right now I am chargin my infuse with a cable that I purchased from Amazon (I purchase this cable as backup for my preivous Atrix) and its charging fast comparing my original Samsung cable. In last 45 mins, it charged by 22%, Generally with my samsung cable it will take 1 hour to charge for 22%.

So I will through my samsung cables and chargers and order another couple cheap cables from amazon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Shouldn't make a difference - 600 mils is 600 mils. If CurrentWidget is reporting 600 mA (after the 1.83x correction factor), then there's nothing other than a hacked kernel that will increase things.

As I've said - our fuel gauge has at least 3-4% error, so really the only valid test is time from 20-25% up to 90% or so. (The last 10% goes slow.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Nevermind my earlier post, my phone seems to charge in like 2.5 hours. I was testing it and I shocked myself. If you still want it fixed, then do a factory reset. This is the best I can say.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
I already rooted my phone, if do a factory reset, will it clear my root and custom ROM?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Nah, it just wipes data. Note that if you do the factory reset from within Settings, it'll also nuke the internal SD contents. CWM will only wipe your data and cache partitions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
Can you tell me how to do it in CWM mode>?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
There's an entry on the first screen called Factory Reset/Wipe or something like that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
This weekend I visited my friend who has Infuse with Stock ROM. He said, he has good battery life and batter charging time. So I used his cable to charge my phone, and he used my charger to charge his phone.

Both of us started charging at the same time. My phone @ 26% and his phone @ 10%. After 1.5 hrs, his phone is 100% and mine is @ 54%.

So deffinetely there is some problem in my phone. Also he is watching vedios for more than 4 hours per day, without charging the phone for whole day. I think my phone will die if I watch video for 2 and half hours.

I thought taking the phone to Best buy, but my phone is rooted and is on custom ROM. so I didnt went to best buy yesterday.. is there a way to get the stock ROM back on my phone, so that I can see what best buy will say about this. I worried to go to best buy with custom ROM. they might say, I voilated their policy.

Please advice.. how my phone is so bad, I already returned one of my phone. This is my second infuse. Both of them has same charging problem. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
one more thing.

My friends phone has wireless and GPS on all the time. and my phone, i never on wireless and GPS only when I am driving to some new place.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atrix4nag:
bump

no idea to any one???

I will unroot, my phone (i hope this will get back my stock rom) and take it back to Best Buy.

Lets see what happens.. :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] thumbsinblack:
You might want to see if he's not backing up data to Google, or has any other data sync features turned off that you have on. The more data/gps/wifi/power you use while charging the longer it will take to charge. Check and see if you have any other major power hogs that you can turn off for testing.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
Addressed to the OP:

You are not alone. I have the exact same issue and symptoms as you. Im using an Infuse that I unlocked from Rogers running stock GB.

I just bought an OEM battery from Samsung. I charged this battery with the phone off for 15 hours total using the supplied Samsung charger and cable. Only after waiting that long was I able to see the gauge reach 100%

My issue isnt the charge time; the the battery accuracy. If I charge the phone to 100% while its on, ill get the "Charging complete" in the tray ontop and my widgets will also say 100%. The moment I unplug the charger, itll drop to 80% and start draining from there.

This has happened on both my OEM batteries. Ive tried different cables, chargers, you name it. My next attempt at solving this is purchasing a wall charger which would require me to remove the battery from the phone and externally charge it.

If that doesn't work, ill have to sadly admit defeat and accept that my infuse has something wrong with it. This is my second Infuse as well..

make sure you wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache before flashing the odin. also, quandrant standard doesn't work correctly in some GB roms... this one included.

Use quandrant advanced... getting 2300 right now on a fresh odin... the same one you downloaded
[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
well the frame rate was low... I put it to factory settings installed Fugu tweaks and I'm up to 1837 now with 1 acore fc... I might have to factory idon back to ep1w then factory reset then flash your rom. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the rom.

Glad you were able to get it to work...not being able to restore apps with TIBU is a total PITA!
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
I've been using a different method lately to restore apps that I really love.

I use the app called "appmonster" which has an option in it to create "old_style_backups" of every app. What this does is save to a folder on your card, a copy of the apk for very app you install.

That way, after a ROM flash you never have to search for an app download or install etc. I have a TON of apk's in that folder (I have the app set to automatically BU every new app right after it is installed).

When I get done flashing a ROM, I simply go to that folder & go down the list and click on whatever I want reinstalled.

Granted, it is not as fast as doing a batch reinstall with TIBU but it's a LOT more troublefree & I get to pick & choose what to install or not each time. It doesn't take long at all & it 100% trouble free.

[Verizon Droid Charge] droidfever:
I dont know how you did it. This ROM is smoking fast! I feel like using a dual core phone all the sudden. Only had it for a day, no issue so far. Battery is draining a bit faster than Humble 1.4, but I guess I just need to calibrate it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
I don't know with the paid version of TiBu I can select exactly what apps I want to restore, and let it run unattended in batch mode and get all of my apps back quickly.

How do I stop it from doing this??

~John

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Not disagreeing, I have the paid version of TIBU also.

I just find I have far less problems with FC's etc when reinstalling the apps from the apks than letting TIBU do a batch reinstall. I'm not even sure why it would make any difference at all, but sometimes it does.

I'm not saying my way is definitely better, I'm just giving my experience.

Whatever works for your particular system is the way to go.
