please try a full reflash that worked at my u20i atleast...

sometimes my phone is overheating on charger too. the fix that works for me is to simply unplug and plug cable again, than it's working fine...

But it would not be good for the battery as people say whenever u plug in the charger then dnt plug off till the battery is 100% charged.

I have encountered this problem too. I turned off live wallpaper and fency widget and everything worked fine. You could turn them on after full charged. I find live wallpaper really drained battery fast.

Thanks for the suggestion. I dnt use live wallpapers so it is not a problem. But for widgets You mean to say that before charging I should remove the widgets and then add them back after every charge. It would be hectic. Or there is a way to 'turn off' the widgets.

I wouldn't worry about that on Lipo or Li-ion batteries... in fact its good for the first 10 -15 charge cycles not to charge them to full (it makes the battery last longer.)
If it were an old Nimh or Nicad then yes.. best to make it flat and charge to 100% not the case with new batteries, feel free to top them up when ever you like and un plug them befor they get to 100% (only rule with Lipos and li-ions is not to run them completely flat.. they don't like that)

Recalibrating battery.

I know the steps to recalibrate the battery. But I've been wondering, while I'm recharging the battery can I turn on the phone and use it while charging or does the phone have to remain completely off and wait till it charges to 100?

well I don't think it matters, I've calibrated it and used my phone during that time too. Make sure u have something like battery doctor or any other good battery app which will assure u 100 % charge coz the phone shows 100 but isn't actually FULLY charged. After it reaches 100, its gonna take 10 to 15 more mins to get completely charged.

I don't really think it matters either, but at the end I leave it alone, and let it charge a bit longer. You might want to check out this calibration app. /showthread.php?t=1024867

X10 battery won't charge fully

I left my phone charging during the night(it had been shut off) and when I started it, I noticed that it only charged to 70% and that it was really hot! Its the second time it does this after the gb update!
Thanks for the help!

did u install the custom rom or the generic one ???
try wipe battery status using xrecovery
hi, i am on stock 2.3 rom. it seems that i only have that issue when i charge with turned off phone. when i pull the charger and put it back in it charges normally till the led turns green
It does charge 100% but as soon as it reaches 100% it starts charging backwards(discharge) if you leave the charger on the phone

I think your cpu speed is draining your battery, I say that because of the heat you talked about and the speed of the drain. Try using wolfs 3.9 stable update and battery calibration app, free from market, to charge battery to 100%-4002mv.
Hope it helps. Worked for me.

How to disable USB charging?

does anybody know some patch to disable USB charging? i dont like messing like that with my battery, i like charge it to 100% and then discharge to 0% every time, but oftem i need to copy some files from cell to comp... and i must plug in cable and charge battery for few minutes... help? thx.
Sory i dont answes your question but i really must ask why from 100 to 0. Afaik i even worse discharge this type of battery to 0. You can even broke it. Just charge when you need and life time be same.

Draining to zero is bad for newer batteries. And charging them for only a few moments is fine. All newer phone also have smart chips so when they reach 100% the stop charging usually letting the device bounce to 95 and back up.

actually, it does not drain to the zero.. just a minimum value. if it were to drain to zero it would never charge again.
i'm talking basic chemistry here. not sure about the exact Li-ion batteries.
@OP, my old sony phone, you could shut it from the service menu you get after clicking a set of combination of the keys..
there must be a similar combination for the new ones. i am on cm9 so i cannot check.

battery has its own electronics and it never go below safe limit, and charging from 0-100 is good for my battery as far i can tell from service menu where actual measured capacity is shown, normal is 1500, when i charge whenever i like, plugin and plug out several times a day capacity drops even to 1400, when i charge and discharge 0-100 100-0 capacity comes back to 1500
i had xperia arc before and after 9 months battery was like new, sometimes it dropped to 1425 but after few full zero zero full cycles it was back to 1500

Look, right is we have mobile phone for using, for serve us. If i need go out and see 50% i give mobile on charger. Who really want have death mobile? And when mobile turn off and you give him recharge too late, like after you come from out you can really broke it. This already happen on my old se batery. And still i dont se any cool reason to do it when lifetime battery is practicaly same as i read on many same about li-pol li-ion battery. Anyway if there is no other way to disable charging, you can also use something like airdroid and copy files via wifi

There is no memory effect on our phones' batteries. They do not lose their capacity like this at all. I do not know, how/what you did, but this is not correct.
You could go to Google and search for Li-Ion and Li-Po type battery myths and reality(facts). You will find lots of useful information.

Use airdroid. It connects your phone via WLAN with your pc using your router.
You can use any webbrowser on your pc.
Try it, a really great app.

First-charge duration and tips please?

Just got an S3.
Do you have any pointers to charging and battery practice tips?
Battery came half-full. I charged until full, it just turned 100% and green led.
I now intend to use it until drained, then charge it back up overnight.
Does this full/drain cycle sound like a good idea to you? Would you have drained the battery from new to empty? Same thing, right? As long as there is a pattern to touch the empty and full ends?
No point in those first charges. Mine came at 40% and when it went to 15 I charges it. NO problems or whatsoever

Charge to full and use the phone do not drain ever .

There were tips given on how to handle li-ion batteries, here are some that i follow
-never charge above 20%
-never bump charge

It doesn't matter with these modern batteries. Just charge it anyway you want, use your phone anyway you want. Won't make a difference.

+1 that 20% is a load in of crap, that means you would not be able to plug your phone in to the computer for file transfer unless you have -20% battery cos the computer will charge it.

I experienced that too.. I dont really know what to do with that but try charging yiur device turned off
I charged most of my device turned off or turn them off after use when charging..
It will charge faster like 2-3hrs and youll get a 100%

I charged mine while it was off over night from 10% and it was at 97% after 10 hours from wall plug, then the next day I charged it from notebook usb and it was still slow. But it seems to be charging faster each time. (and I still love this thing... Now if I can only get root without downgrading back to the original in the box firmware I will be happy)
Your question has been asked and answered many times. ( though you should say "charging too slow" )
Have a look here, for example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428856
The charging time you are having is about right.
If you have root you could download an app called CPU adjuster which let's you create different profiles for example when screen is off, connected to wall charged or connected to USB charger you can set minimum and maximum CPU speed for the tablet during these situations, I've been using it for a few months now and it has helped prolong battery life a little and helps charge a little quicker.
