The charging time is not linear. It seems to charge at a faster rate (% charge / minute) when the battery charge is low to medium (0% to 60% range). It charges at a much slower rate as battery charge % moves into higher than 60% range. It took me about 2 hours and 20 minutes to charge from 39%...

This says Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review | Ubergizmo about 2.5 hours to fully charge the Note 8.0 device. That is what I have noticed now and last year before I had the problem.

How many hours does it take to fully charge your Note 8.0? One other thing I noticed. Prior to the service center change, my battery would go all the way down to 1% then eventually to 0% shutoff. But now, it shuts off at 7%, that is, it drops instantaneously to 0%, while the video is playing...

I drained the battery to about 5%. It took about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery. I didn't see any instantaneous jump from x% to 100% like before. Is 2.5 hrs to fully charge the battery within the normal range? Is that what most people are seeing? I have seen 4 hours quoted in tech...

Here is the latest. I just got the tablet back from the service center about an hour ago. I have been testing it via video play back. It seems they performed the factory reset in addition to changing the charging port as well as giving me new USB charging cable (not the A/C adapter). This is...

It seems that the service center didn't keep the tablet...they shipped it out yesterday....oh well...i may ship it back out again....most likely the issue may be there....unless they also kept the battery out for an hour or so as stated in this thread and other threads on this forum. We shall see.

Here is the latest update. After following the steps I have listed in this thread, I finally did the factory reset. These are the steps I used for factory reset. - power off tablet - Press and hold Volume up and Power and home button simultaneously then release when turning on - The Android...

Isn't removing the battery the same as letting it drain completely? I let it drain completely and kept it that way for several hours. It improved from 1 hour of video play time to about 2 hrs of video play time. This is still significantly below what it should be. I am going to send in for the...

Here is a snapshot of my battery charge time via GSam Battery Monitor app. Here is the info from the chart. Battery charge was at about 4% at 8.15am when I plugged the battery in for charge. Around 9.20am the charge was about 28% (~10% every 27 minutes...which is about 4.5 hrs for full...

I have also noticed the following: Battery shows 91% and then I plug the charger and it immediately shows 100%. Battery shows 25% and I reboot the device and it immediately shows 15% and gives me low battery warning indication. What can explain these rapid / instantaneous changes in battery...

I just finished testing the battery for video play time. I used 35% of battery (73% to 38%) for 100 minutes of video play time. This is much much better than what I was getting two weeks ago when the rapid battery drain issue started. I was draining 95% of the battery within 60 minutes or...

You can watch this Youtube video if you want to remove your Note 8.0 battery. However, you can also completely discharge it the way I did it. It should have the same impact. www youtube com/watch?v=sZG28TPmd8Y

I just finished testing video play time. After 100 minutes of video play, battery usage went from 73% to 38%. Much better than before where within 60 minutes or less I would lose almost 95% of battery. Here are a few things I tried apart from what I mentioned in the initial post. I moved apps...

After totally discharging the battery and then fully recharging, the battery usage via Android OS and Android System reduced by 50%. What can explain this? I haven't uninstalled any apps or changed their behavior (notifications, etc.). Puzzled by this 50% drop. Battery Widget app indicated my...
