Released on July 28, 2014, the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is a cell phone that features an 8 MP rear camera, 720p display, fingerprint scanner, and water resistance. It has a larger display, increased battery life, and an updated camera from its older brother, the Galaxy S5.

New battery drains quicker than old battery.

I ordered a “new” battery and followed the instructions of not charging it until the level had dropped below 10%, then fully recharging. Now the battery uses the charge even faster than the battery that it replaced.

There are 3 possible reasons for this:

1.) The new battery is defective

2.) The new batter has a lower mAh rating, thus lower capacity. The original battery should have been a 2100 mAh capacity, compare that to the replacement.

3.) Clear the cache partition first and observe the phone for at least 24 hours.

  • Turn off the device.
  • Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time: Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key.
  • When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
  • When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
  • Press the Volume Down key to highlight wipe cache partition.
  • Press the Power key to select.
  • When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
  • Press the Power key to restart the device.

Edit: Found a 3rd possibility to add.
