Ok so flashed bionix v. And then fully drained fully charged then wiped out battery stat.
It says do it 3times tto get the best result. I already did once so on the 2nd ttime do I wipe out the battery stat again or just fully drain and fully charge again?

What I have read and did is after the the wipe is just use your phone till its drained. You already cleaned out the battery memory.

Fully discharging a LiIon battery is the WORST thing you can do to extend it's life. Doing it multiple times in a row deliberately is not a good idea.
The only thing that needs "calibrating" is the phones awareness of what a fully charged state is. Charge the phone fully, wipe battery stats, and get back to using your phone.

Thanks for the info and yea I know about that when I say fully drain I don't really fully drain. I plug in the charger at 1%
But once again thanks

This is completely correct. This is why the proper way to flash a rom is on a complete 100% charge. This way never have to fiddle with the battery stats.

To be further clear on how to keep LiIon batteries healthy, you should charge them at every opportunity. Naturally it's not always convenient to charge just because the battery is getting low, but if it is convenient you should be charging (if lengthening the lifespan of the battery is an important goal).

I just uploaded a new rom and a kernel, and now I am having problems with my phone holding a charge. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do.

You know I never really got what the term "charge cycle " is, what os it? Is it when you recondition turn battery 3 times or what?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Go into recovery mode and in the menu there is an advanced go in then and wipe stats or you can get an app that does the same thing. Either do that. Then, drain the battery 'til dead (run a movie). Then fully charge That is a complete charge cycle. That will recondition it that is all you really need. Then also maybe get a task manager or something similar to be able and check and make sure there are not things running in the background check.
If the battery then is not holding a charge after this then..maybe the battery needs replacing
Charge cycle is from charged to dead to charged.

Hey thanks you all for responding to my thread. I have now just discovered that the phone will not even power up or hold a charge at all. I am thinking its the battery because the bionix rom and the kernal were still working before the phone shutdown. Any thoughts on this new development??
Everyday, I have my battery charged to 100% in the morning and i bring it to school. I leave my phone in my locker till 3:30 everyday but it every time i take it out, the battery is always drained from 50% and lower.
Should i get a new battery or somthing?

Is BT/Wifi on?
Low reception also causes battery draining.
Nope. and it doesnt happen at home when im also on the wifi..

I have noticed 3G draining battery much faster than wifi. And it will also depend on what applications are running. When you say your battery lasts longer on wifi, its good battery.

What ROM do you have?
Have you reconditioned/recalibrated?
Have you changed the default kernel from the ROM your using? if so, name the kernel
how
how do you reclaibrate..i am using simply arabic rom..i am using kernel 2.4.1
Omg this happened to me!
Im 14, exact same thing happened to me. Just last week though i broke my phone and htey sent me a new vibrant. The battery stays at 91% or more now after school doing nothing with it, when it used to be at like 40%. Maybe it's the new battery IDK, but a huge differance.

Almost everyone does it differently around here, this is what worked for me.
Full charge your battery, wait for it to drain (reach minimum 5% or better yet wait for the phone to turn off), now charge continuously for 100%. Unplug then plug the phone to the charger again (its not yet fully charged) after it reaches 100% this time boot into recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Try the "spare parts" app, it tells which app is eating your power up.
thats exactly the same thing that happened to me.... so i'd recomend you to flash a new rom TRIGGER once you flash it download a kernel from the vibrant developement and its called TIGERS BLOOD and the rom comes with an app called BATTERY CALIBRATION and just lije they told you.. wait for your fone to be fully charged and open that app and theres goin to be a button that says START CALIBRATING and now when i go to school till i get out my fones battery life its only 73% and i play games in it so if i dudnt play games at all it'd be like 80% or 85% of battery life....

I reccomend a very easy fix which contains two parts. Recondition the battery usin battery calibration app in market. Do this at 0% and 100% be sure to let the phone fully charge and die with no interruption.
Next get setcpu from the market and set it to powersave. Those two things should leave you around 95% battery. ROM shouldnt matter as much with these settings. Also cut off your data, wifi, bluetooth, anything your not using.

I have a weird issue with my battery ..my phone will charge up to 100% but as soon as I unplug it...it takes less than 10 minutes for it to go down to 85%. Then it seems that the battery starts working normally after that...my phone is not rooted.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks in advance..

If you want help I suggest you provide more information. ie what rom you are running, how long you've had the phone, etc. If it is a brand new phone your battery may just need to be conditioned. Charge it to full, use it to empty, charge to full again and you should be good to go.

Its odd that a new stock phone doesn't run the battery well. in any case, the battery may not be calibrated yet. you can run this program. it will set the calibrate your battery for you. Let your phone drain down to under 15% before you recharge again. And let it fully recharge to 100%, then run it down thru the day to under 15%. After a few cycles like this, the battery will normalize. Then you will get a better idea of the battery life of your phone.

I want to know that we normally calibrate battery when it is charged to 100%, but what if we remove batterystats when we are on 0%?
it will be the same as we caliberated when it was caliberated at 100%?
It's generally not a good idea to drain a lithium ion battery down to 0. They don't have memory, but draining them all the way can destroy the battery.

What I meant was as in if lithium ion batteries go all the way down to 0% they can never be recharged .

One day my phone got switched off automatically because the battery was very low and then I rebooted again and it got switched off again. Later, I was not able to reboot it. I wasn't able to go into Recovery mode either. And when I plugged in my adapter for charging the battery, nothing happened. I thought my phone got bricked and was all set to go into a Samsung Service Centre. But somehow, after 24 hours, when I plugged it again, the battery icon appeared in my SGA screen and it was charging. I suppose my battery got down to 0%. Isn't it?

So are you saying that if the battery really gets drained to 0%, there is no way you can recharge it?
Dude seriously ace battery takes 3HRS to charge... Morning 8 i left it from charging(15%) now its 10 AM here showing 100%.. Stil charging.. Once i charge it for 3 HRS i ll get around 24HRS to get it till 15%.. I dint wipe battery stats after flashing myth two days back

what, is there no difference between a dead Li and a Li drained to 0 % ?
I got my gs3 yesterday, and it came with about 50% battery. I charged it overnight, and am using it now...do I need to run it down to 0% then charge all the way back up to 100? Some say I do, but I thought li-ion batteries didn't require that. Also, should I run a battery calibration?
Thanks.

No, you do not need to do anything to the battery. Charge it and use it normally.
Also, battery callibration does nothing that your phone does not already do on its own.

No you shouldnt let it go all the way down to 0%. Lithium batteries are designed to be permanently charged. if you discharge it completely you can damage your battery and/or the capacity goes down. So the best thing to do is charge it and when it is full just take it of the charger and dont leave it plugged in :good:
Hope this answers your question

No, calibrating is done for you every time your phone charges to 100%. I promise.
