Chosen Solution

I’ve had my Android for a while now. For the last few days my phone has been draining the battery while the charger were still plug.

My suggestion is similar but a couple of other things you could try is

  1. Airplane mode if you are 20% or below. You shouldn’t have to be without communication and still have your phone on.
  2. Clear your recent apps by holding the HOME button and clear then all.
  3. Navigate to your data settings and press the menu button (it’s left of the home button on the S4) and choose to turn off background running apps. This will make all of the apps that remain active even when you don’t use your phone to stop draining your battery. BUT DON’T FORGET TO TURN THEM BACK ON once you have a sufficient amount of battery life
  4. Data network uses more battery than WiFi so if you have access to WiFi use it and turn off your data. Don’t worry you’ll still be able to make and receive your calls, text, etc.
  5. You can also try booting up in recovery or safe mode. Shut off your phone and… Actually Google that part and enter your model and make of your phone to get the accurate instructions on how to do it correctly.
  6. Last under the absolute worst case scenario that none of the other steps have seem to work for you. Before buying a new battery or phone you could do a factory reset. This will delete all apps that aren’t one of your pre-installed apps. Don’t worry, you can back up everything first through Google by syncing your phone it will save all of your data. ALL of your data basically. Also you can backup with your Samsung account. Once you get that done simply shut off and when you power on press the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the android robot screen and choose WIPE PHONE. Confirm your decision and give it a few minutes to do its job and it’ll restart automatically and begin to restore your phone if you are connected to WiFi. But don’t do that yet. Let your phone completely charge normal with all of your usual settings going. This will let you see that it was clearly an app draining your battery or if indeed your battery is shot. Best of luck. If this doesn’t work then you did it wrong lol

I Think Theres A App That Drain Your Phone So I Want You To Use Clean Master Or A Task Manager Or Just Hold Your Home Button And Remove Your App Session It Will Close Your App. To Charge Your Phone Faster Do This: 1. Do Safe Mode And Charge It. It May Charge Your Phone Faster 2: Do Airplane Mode. It May Charge Your Phone Fast

ive fixed a few phones with this issue. it is usually the following. (most times its not software, but sometimes it is, so i would suggest a factory reset before spending any kind of money) Lithium batteries ARE Consumable. This means they will go bad over time. usually starts after about 300-400 charge cycles. Replacing the battery fixes the problem about 80% of the time for my store the other 20% is usually that the Charge port is causing the issue. the charge port reads that the cord is present, but will not pull the current into the phone. In which case, replacing the port will fix the issue. now a minimal% of the time, there canbe a board level failure. in which case, it would be more expensive to repair, than to buy a new phone.

Hi there is a fault with the battery or charger so i suggest you start by replacing the charger and see if it makes a difference and if doesn’t replace the battery .

If you’re batery needs 2 ampere dont charge with 1 ampere charger

After 14 yrs experience w/several different phones, i’m pretty sure the problem is usually due to 1 of 2 things.

  1. Usually it’s the CABLE! For me, replacing the old cable w/a new one seemed to always fix it. Old/cheap cables don’t just ‘break’. Some of the individual wires begin to break over time, restricting the electricity flow.
  2. Old chargers or USB ports w/low-voltage/Amp output charge really slow compared to modern chargers & USB standards.
  3. Regardless of the cause, you’ll get better/quicker results if you limit the number of things running on the phone in the background as you charge. The last person’s suggestion of resetting the phone could help, but beware of losing settings &/or data that you might want to document or backup first. By the way… i don’t know if this is permitted here or not. If not, hopefully they’ll just edit-out this paragraph rather than not-post my whole message.

I have this problem also on galaxy tab 4,I. There is 50% left before charging then when I put the charger on it drains to 2%.

While i havent solved this issue with my LG V20 on Android 7, i have gathered some interesting data points. When the condition ocurrs, 2 of the 4 cores are static above 1.0 GHz, while the other 2 fluctuate as they all 4 should be. A battery app shows a very low mA charge rate 100 or even negative rates. After a reboot, all 4 cores are back to dynamic fluctuating. The battery app now shows 600 to 900 mA charging. Also worth mentioning, the play store begins updating apps right after the reboot. So either there was a process out there nailing up 2 cores preventing the play store updates from running or the play store service itself could be suspect. Next steps is now to find a cpu core app that shows what threads and app are running during the event.

I just got my phone, Samsung J6 precisely and when ever it was on 100% it would say charged but recently that changed, whenever it got to 100% it would still say charging and would discharge when ever I charge and use my phone

This problem has of occurred with my phone to. This is a simple fix 80 percent of the time it’s just the cable of the charger has a fault or is dirty in the phone charge socket or wall socket. Which can be cleaned with an ear bud or tooth pick. If the wire of the charger has a fault just have it replaced with a brand new one or a spare (if you have one). The other 20 percent of the time it’s the storage on your phone which can drain battery power. The best way to see what’s draining it is to get this recommended app called cleaner. This will show the drainage on your battery power. Finnaly the last thing to do with this 20 percent of the time is in the settings go on to developer settings and put change the SUB to charge only at socket. Simple right.

what worked for you among the recommendations? this is happening to my LG android

Was was really in panic when instead of charging my LG Sunset android was discharging.I put the charger in three different sockets; the third one finally seems to be working. It’s not fully charged yet but I hope it will be soon. Thank you.
