Hello, in the recent days I've come to notice that my p6p takes more time to charge (when charging with the same cable(factory cable), charger(pd3.0 pps) from the same battery percentage), it now need almost 3 hours to fully charge from 15 to 100% when it used to do it in 2ish. The data in the apps accubattery and battery guru confirm this, since I can compare the charge times in different charging sessions.
When inspecting the wattage and current draw while charging ( 15%-100%) I can see a clear change in max sustained wattage, from the usual with p6p 22ish watts now it only charges at 17ish. Th current is also decreased from 4.5 to 3.7 Amps (at 5v input read, I know that software readings can be off, like in this case, since pps doesnt do constant 5v 4.5A) still while using the same setup at the same temperature the behavior is different, Such difference can be observed in the current vs time graph from the battery guru app. More over the current doesn't stay constant, it fluctuates between 0 and some charging value all the time( the app constantly changes between charging and not charging) this can been seen in the graph, as the "now" graph is more pink that indicates the jitter in the current while the "before" one in more transparent and the current is constant.
Typical curve some months ago

Typical curve now
Can this be a software issue or should I go and buy a new charger/ cable?
Has anyone else have encountered this behavior ?

As the graph shows... Not connected to the charger yet it increases 5% in battery life, went from 29 to 34...

Same
Mine does the same actually. Everytime I look at it when its below 50% life it always has a part of the graph as it charged a little bit. seems wierd
The battery usage and percentage in the notification panel is more of a guess of where your battery really is based on usage. A lot of usage will cause it to guess your battery is at a certain level, and then less usage will lead it to believe your battery is at a higher level.
It also has to do with the charge going to the battery, but that's a bit more involved.

This is normal behavior for a battery, i've had this with all my android phones (HTC Magic/Galaxy S/Galaxy Nexus).
I have that too. But I believe Tesla hasn't died and is currently working with Google or Samsung on some sort.
Poorly calibrated battery or a big change in ambient temperatures?
For example here in Finland, it can be like -20'C outside during wintertime and the battery seems to take a hit when using the phone outside and after coming inside to +20'C (or more) it could suddenly (when warming up) load the battery magically
Mine does the same and I love it!
this is normal for this type of battery fuel gauge because it's based soley on voltage. and you pressed the phone hard during that steep slope, then went idle, and voltage tends to rise and bounce back up when in a relaxed state. when this bounce is large enough it moves the SoC as well. it's all normal.
After one of my zerolemon 7000mAh batteries went through the wash, and fried the electronics (cells still worked fine), I decided to combine them and make a 6 cell, 14000mAh battery. I then saw this project, and decided to beat the storage capacity too. I've wired up some 2A usb ports directly into the battery (these). They can be used for everything from charging another phone or tablet to powering a usb hub or hard drive (the end goal).

Here's the battery, with the phone
in the picture to show size.
It can power hubs...
Charge my mom's phone (15 times over)...
And technically even charge itself.
PS:This is my first post, sorry if I'm breaking any posting standards.
In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S3 suffers the same battery issues of all other Android smartphones which usually lasts less than a day of performance. Owners can extend its battery life even longer than expected by simply tweaking and using essential tricks on Galaxy S3.Aside from mobile data, watch out for other wireless radios such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC which consumes power and you must turn them off whenever not in use. Whenever there is an available and decent Internet connection via Wi-Fi, use it instead of mobile data to preserve power on your phone. Whenever you are not using any Internet connection or high tasking services, activate the Power Saver from the notifications shade to manage battery life better.
Is anyone having an issue with charging their S6 on other chargers? I just picked up my Edge and it randomly keeps making the sound as if I just plugged it in. I will note that this has been on after market 2A chargers with the stock cable. I haven't noticed it yet on the stock charger but have only used that overnight so I may not have noticed. Wondering if there is something wrong with the phone or if it's really that sensitive to which charger is used. Yesterday while plugged into my 2A car charger, it showed it was charging, but the battery was actually dropping while streaming music through Bluetooth.
I have charged my phone at work with my
company phones charger, (Motorola) and have not heard any noise when charging.. I used the Motorola cable and charger plug.. I did not try it with the Samsung cable and Motorola charger.
I havent had that issue...but one thing I *do* know charging via USB takes ffffoooorrrreeeevvvveeerrrrrr
I may have to get this phone replaced under warranty when they are back in stock near me. Something doesn't seem right... Battery monitor says "discharging" AC plugged... And the battery is dropping as I type this (about 5% in 5 minutes while plugged in). Also, after checking the battery in android settings, the estimated time left seems terrible. 91% and only 21 hours on ultra power saving mode? Shouldn't that be a few days? 21 hours is what I expect to see for normal operation, not black and white u. Power save... (See screenshots)

Hi I am wondering if this is normal when we charge with a Fast Charger. I downloaded Gsam app and shows about 110-111F when it's charging, is that a safe level/normal or is that TOO hot and can cause battery damage?
after it goes to 75% or 80% it goes down to 96'F, it only gets hot below 75% for example 5% to 75%

My M9 maxes out battery temp at 45°C (113°F) then charge current is reduced until temp drops.
Generally higher temperatures are detrimental to battery life (above 40°C / 104°F) however all fast charging will cause excess heat and temp to some extent.
If your concerned then use fast charge when necessary and use normal slower battery friendly charge overnight when possible

I have similar concerns and would like to post about them here instead of creating a new thread. I upgraded my Dev Edition M9 to 5.1 earlier this week and I bought a fast charger yesterday. The phone temp increases to ~45 C (113 F) after charging about 20%. How do I fix the heating issue? I never tried a fast charger before the upgrade and don't know if the heating issue was present. Please help me out.
Are you guys on the most recent firmware? My phone does not heat up at all on fast charging.
I have the latest FW and I'm not experiencing overheating with fast charge either
I've noticed my phone getting so hot sometimes when fast charging that the charging led starts flashing red.
I actually have a blister from picking it up...which HTC assures me is rare, but within acceptable limits. So, I guess it's normal
ello guys I have a LG G FLEX for many years I can not let go of it, I have already bought several spare parts they are always getting the high price. I got tired of buying batteries. they always have a problem with me that is, the phone restarts even with a high battery percentage it always restarts depending on the application that is used, doing some tests I got the battery charged I used a multimeter I tested the poles all ok, I tried to turn on a weak led without problems, everything turned on smoothly, I used a lamp that consumed more current, so the battery started to drop to zero at intervals, I opened the battery and tested it without going through her circuit, I tested it directly on her poles so there was no problem, so the problem was in the circuit small battery, I tried to do a search I didn't find much I saw a video of a gentleman saying that he has a limiter in the battery circuits but the circuit he presented was totally different from mine, I'm not very deep in electronics I took about three old batteries and I tried to find out what that limiter would be and I pulled out a component that I think might be it but I'm not sure yet That's why I come here looking for people with more experience in the matter, I even added a power bank battery to my lg today it turned off twice I already think that the part I removed can't be the right one I'm leaving the circuit photo here . it would be easy to just remove the circuit but if I do that the cell phone will not show the percentage anymore I won't know when it charges and it will be dangerous, so I need the circuit working but without the current limiter, I thought of an electronic schematic in my head I'll leave the image here too, I don't know if it will work, I need the cell phone to read the battery percentage and at the same time not limit the current.
