Anyone else open theirs only to find the battery fully discharged? So yuck..
I thought that allowing the battery to go completely dead was a bad thing. I checked under usage and it said it had gone 13+ days on the last charge.
Hope it didn't do too much damage to the battery
Mine was half way dead

That is horrible! I would request for a replacement.
13 days without charge and who knows how long it's been in the heat whether in a dusty warehouse, stuffy container or steamy delivery truck.

So was mine but I was expecting that. It actually charges pretty quick.
sounds like everyones had a different charge. mine was 40%
Mine was completely dead as well.
But, it did say 'Welcome tjhart85 [well, it had my real name]' and ask me for my password to sign into my account ... I thought that was a pretty neat touch. Of course, that probably means they just threw it in the box and left it on to drain.
Mine was 67% when I got it today. I then Drained it to 40% playing ocarina of time then charged it for maybe an hour and it was back to 100%
just got mine, battery was at 58%. Also the box was double sealed. ie tape over the tape. It knew my gmail account. So probably was opened, my account info added and taped shut. Would have preferred to have received it 2 weeks earlier and set up my own account.
Mine came with about 50 percent charge.

I noticed that too. So I went to the battery stats and it had been on before for a little bit.

Every device I've purchased that had a dead battery out of the box has died very shortly after buying it. I would get a replacement.

Mine came out of the box with about a 45% charge.
Same. About 50% charge here. Charging it for a couple of hours before I play with it.
Mine was dead too. Thought it was DOA, but now I'm getting a battery icon. Going to leave it charging and watch very closely over the next few days.
Mine came out of the box with "show low battery logo" on a completely black screen. No logo...no nothing. Completely blank. Plugged it in, the battery charging logo popped up, fully charged it overnight and it's been working great since (purchased from Office Depot 7/14).
This concerns me. Received mine today, but I won't be home until Friday. wonder if I should have my wife open it up and start charging it.

Mine like many others was around half charged

For those with the dead battery... I would be glad! That probably means your device was the one used as a quality control check for that batch of devices. It would make me happy to get one of those. Those devices should have ZERO problems out of box. It's just a hypothesis, and I could be wrong BUT, it seems fact that some have been opened and checked, and those are the ones that have dead batteries. Mine was delivered this morning but I'm off on a training mission, so I wont get to inspect it until Friday morning. Hopefully mine was opened and they checked for a good screen and all that good stuff. For those with the dead battery, how many have dead battery and dead pixels, mushy left side, back light problems, etc?
Finding this out will determine whether they are actually (somewhat) effectively QC'ing these tablets.
Mine came out of the box with a 6% charge.
I can't say that I'm particularly concerned about it.

mine was completely dead, as if it had a good time the night before without me!
good day fellow xda members, i just need advice regarding my note..
Situation:
1. The phone screen flickers and shuts down when using WIFI and listening to MUSIC at the same time.
2. If I use the phone for MUSIC ONLY, the phone doesn't turn off.
3, If I connect the phone to a wall charger, it doesn't turn off..
4.If I turn the phone on, the battery percentage is almost the same before it turned off.
additional info: the phone is 1 year old. and i reflashed it to FULL STOCK
My question now, is this a simple battery problem where i only need to replace the battery? Or the phone is short circuit? AFAIK. short circuit happens when the phone is submerged to water.
I'm asking this question because one store here sells genuine battery BUT they don't offer warranty... sick right??
any comment or suggestion??
UPDATE:: I recently got a new battery, its a genuine 2500 mah battery from Samsung and it costs around 1690 in Philippine peso or around $40 in USD....
and it magically cured all problems..
if you found this thread after google searching, I'm glad to help...
Hi, why did you mentioned water problem, did your phone came in contact with water. If so or if you think your phone got any humidity, try to remove it. There are some posts how to do it. 2. Try with another battery (your friends), see the problems remain or solved. 3. Try a good GB rom, stock or custom (before you buy a new battery).

+1 for trying a new battery. Ask sorts of problems charging, dying, etc, was exactly one year old and only very slight bulge (have you checked yours?) And replacing with Anker 2700 mah from Amazon cured all.

How strange is this ... so Basically the stock battery that Samsung sells does not last more than a year ???

My phone started couple days ago. A year and two months old. Guess it's time to go buy a battery. Will update.
Edit: bought a new battery. Problem gone. Also enjoying renewed battery life.
Even mine was acting same.. exactly from a week now.. for one year old phone.. ordered a new battery in Samsung service center.
Hello, i've got today an S3 MINI here with a strange issue, the cellphone when using it normally from all sudden it reboots and starts a weird scenario that doesn't boots up until a charger is plugged, when this happens shows an 75% 80% battery level (aprox) and the device works for a few hours normally and then it drops again.
Tried FACTORY RESET, no go... What's the next step on the issue??
Thanks!

I think the battery is damaged
You have a bad battery. The same thing happend to me last month. If you pull out battery, you'll probably notice it's inflated a bit.

Ah, I have the exact same issue as the OP Mind you I don't see any inflation.
What would you recommend to order as a replacement?

Look closer or try to feel it with your fingers. Mine is barely visible
Or something else died in your battery. but if it can't hold charge, chargest fast and discharges even faster, restarts.. time to change the battery. They're not expensive luckaly

What did you order as a replacement? I feel like I may as well buy some extra capacity.
Thanks for your quick reply

Was the battery indeed, Samsung took care over it, but makes me wonder... How bad is assembling Samsung it's phones...
About a month ago while hiking I had my Mexus 6 in a zip lock hoping to keep it safe from water (I now realize how stupid that was). With ziplock in my backpack I waded through chest deep water. Later on I opened my bag and to my dismay there was water inside the zip lock. The phone was operational.
I took it home and tested it. Worked fine for the most part. However when I shut it down it would not bit back up for a day or so. And after charging it for 24+ hours it would randomly boot. Basically I couldn't let it run out of battery or it would be unresponsive for a day or two.
Somehow over time this issue was not valid anymore. My phone could now reboot normally.
A couple of days ago I noticed the phone going into shutdown claiming 0% battery even when battery was 40%. It kept galloping numerous times. Open the camera, phone shuts down showing it's out of battery. The battery saver also makes to kick in as it makes its come and the top and bottom bars turn red/orange.
This has happened more than 20 times now. I did not get the battery shutdown when phone has 80%+ battery. But it started as I dropped below that. At 48% it got so bad that after a shutdown, if I restarted phone, it would, then immediately shut down. When battery was 60%+ it would at least start back up and let me use it for a bit.
Now I know I messed up with the zip lock thing but it's there any thing I can do now? Should I try to change the battery? I have changed battery on iPhones before by myself.
Can I somehow calibrate the battery using software?
Attached are screenshots of my battery stats.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear this is happening, mine started doing the same thing after three months of use. I tried everything, including a trick someone posted of letting it die and charging it only using the quick charger. I use a QI charger and it was completely unacceptable to think that feature couldn't be used. So I contacted Motorola and they just did a warranty on mine and sent me a new one. I had it the next day.

What info did you have to give for warranty. I don't have original sales receipt. Thanks. I will try the same.

My Note 8 has been great, I bought it last year brand spankers. But, since one week, after it drops to 15 percent, it just turns off. I have been using a genuine charger and rarely charge beyond 91-95... sometimes to a 100.
I know this issue has been addressed before but I have tried a cache wipe, a battery caliberation and a system wipe. it keeps doing this. I don't want to have a battery replacement since it would void warranty... anything I am missing out?
any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks everyone.
the biggest damage to batteries occurs precisely when going very low or completely depleted, not when going up to 100%
Have you tried taking your device to a Samsung Service Centre?

Your battery is dead.
Get a new one at a Samsung Service Center or change it by yourself (Void Warranty).

the answer is implied, you tried to take care of your battery by not charging to 100%, but in fact you neglected the real reason why batteries fail prematurely, which is deep discharging or worst, totally depleting it, so the answer is, no way to fix your "battery drain" , only way to go is a new battery
