I swear this thing is overpriced garbage. I have the metro pcs variant running rooted stock tmobile marshmallow. Its been running mm since it was available for tmo just fine.
I have root. Twrp busybox xposed etc.
Last night i stuck my phone on the charger for an hr when it was at 75%.
When i came back it still read 75% but i figured it was a glitch and a simple reboot would refresh everything and it would show it was fully charged.
After i got out of the shower i noticed it was STILL at 75%.
i had to pull the battery and then it started to charge again.
Today i was at 30 something percent and stuck it on the charger while i went for a 5 mile jog. After i came back it was 36%.
I pulled the battery again and now its starting to charge again.
W.T.F?
When the battery is fully charged it seems to last as long as it ever did...for example it was off the charger for 10 hrs but i was at 92% when i unplugged and it was at 38% or so 10 hrs later when i went to charge it again and i was playing at least an hr of modern combat 5 and i also used it for an hr streaming podcasts on google play music in addition to average use...so the battery seems to hold up when it can actually be charged.
Anyone else had this issue? Fixes?
Im not convinced the battery is at fault just yet. For instance my battery is going out on my nexus 10 and it progressively takes longer and longer to charge and sometimes it only wants to charge while powered off etc.
My stylo charges pretty quickly and its even charging quickly now while im tying this up from my stylo. I went from 23 to 29 percent while tying this up which is quick for the screen being on.
Im trying not to buy another device until the new nexus devices are released this fall...so its either this or ill have to go back to some old android i have lying around (my options arent great). All i gave access to in the way of phones that work with metro's new gsm service is a friggin lg f6 (1.2 gb of end-user space) and a mess of a phone samsung galaxy light (eww)
What do i do besides pull the battery every single time i want to charge it?
Could something system side be the culprit? I havent made build prop or other system changes in at least a month yet this just started happening last night
