So the original battery in my phone.. well... sucked. When I pulled the phone off the charger it would jump down to 93% no matter how long it was on the charger etc. Any attempt to bump charge was thwarted in the fact that I cant charge the phone when its off (it automatically turns on and boots into CWM). Wiping the battery stats when the battery read 100% in the OS would still result in the above.
So I ordered that 1600mah battery from Seidio. Ran the charge out of it yesterday and charged it to full during the evening/night. Wake up this morning, pull the charger out of the phone, and BOOM 100% power. Not 93%...
So was it my old battery that was bad or was there something wrong with how the phone saw its power rating?
From what I've seen with the phone, it drops down to 90% or so before it starts charging again, but it won't ever have the display show a battery decrease while plugged in.

Right but I can watch the meter go all the way to 100%... pull the plug and it goes down to 93% within seconds.
funny thing phone did the same thing...took it off the charger this morn and it dropped down to 95
I'm at 99% after about 2.5hrs of mostly idle usage. I've been just rebooting the phone with it on the charger in the morning, give it about 15-20 minutes and usually it'll stick at 100

All you are doing is semi-bumb charging it, which is fine if you really must have that extra 1hour of battery, but be warned, doing it constantly will damage your battery over time. that is the reason the phone has built in charging/decharge in the first place.
The reality is if your phone is sitting idle, that 5% wont matter at all once your phone attunes to your battery, and if your using the phone so heavily that your going dead long before the day is done (after attunement) then the 5% still wont matter !
i was having the same issues - 90% right after unplugging. had to charge the phone 3 times in ONE day and i never even touched the phone the whole day except to check the battery percentage.
brought it into verizon, they gave me a new battery and now it lasts me the entire day. when i pull the plug out now, it drops steadily like a normal battery should. i tried bump charging before i brought it in and it didn't help at all
The same thing has been happening to my dads Thunderbolt.
He charged it overnight, took it to work and was losing about 1% per minute without touching the phone. The only time it was touched was about 1 timer per hour to take down the battery percentage for his log.
He took it to the verizon store and they told him he should not expect anything longer than 4 hours of battery life without touching the phone..what kind of BS is that?

I'm having the exact opposite problem with the batteries--just ordered two of the 1600 Seidios that delivered yesterday and even after running pretty much down, fully charging overnite with the T-bolt powered down, drops to 95% immediately. Conversely, the OEM battery would stay at 100% for hours if the phone was idle (screen off / receiving any emails and SMS). Go figger.
There is a post in the Android Central forums on the 1600 battery compared to stock. After testing, they found that the two perform almost identically. Basically, it isn't worth replacing unless you go with the big HTC extended battery. Although having a spare isn't a bad idea. If only that battery door wasn't so tough to pry off when you need to change it...
nexus s had the same problem its nothing big though

Most of us probably won't have the phones long enough to see any possible damage. Starting off at a full 100% is a lot better than immediately dropping to 95 or so after pulling it off charger. It's kind of like the gas gauge in my truck. Stays full a while but once it moves off of full you can watch it drop. lol

Newbie here - I have a stock G Tablet.
Have added many apps and also Flash and it is working great.
My one concern is that however long I charge the unit,
I can't get the battery indicater to go above 93%.
Is anyone else experiencing this ?
hello there,
yes i am having the same problem. no matter how long, mine can't get past the 95% mark. clockwork mod + tnt 2.2
ideas on how to fix this, anyone?
regards
Try to recharge with the device powered off, and let it charge for at least half an hour after the light turns green.
I've left it plugged in a good 2 to 3 hours after the green light came on.
It still only reaches 93%.
Is it a bad battery, bad charger, etc.,
Any thoughts... anyone ?

Do a full cycle, all the way dead and then charge as stated for about 30 minutes after the green light comes on. It could be just a calibration problem. How long is the battery lasting for you?
I use it for short periods throughout a day, so it is difficult to gauge an accurate time.
A rough guess would be approximately 6+ hours.
I always thought it wasn't good to totally drain this type of battery ?

I think this is a LiPo battery - if so, then its is OK to let it drain all the way - just don't do it too often. You should *always* do two full discharge/recharge cycles on any Lithium-based battery as soon as you purchase it, and again about every month or two.
For removable Lithium-based batteries (i.e. *not* for gtab!), if you aren't going to use the battery for, say, more than a week, the best thing to do is to discharge it to about 50% and then put it in the refrigerator. When you are going to start using it again, let it warm to room temperature for at least a few hours to a day (depending on how big it is), *then* put it on the charger. Absolutely do not charge the battery cold as the thermal shock could damage the battery.
The initial discharge/recharge cycles "primes the pump" so that you get the maximum capacity out of the battery (who knows how long the battery has been 'sitting on the shelf'), and the ongoing discharge/recharge cycles keeps the battery at its maximum capacity *and* allows the calibration electronics more accurately track the slow decline of the battery's capacity.
BTW, my gtab's battery lasted on-and-off for almost 2 1/2 days. That was 'sleeping' it at night (*not* turning it off!) and using it on-and-off wifi/surfing/playing AB during the day. I must say, the gtab's battery life is phenomenal!

Thanks. Tried the full discharge and then full charge with the gtab turned off, left for about an hour after the green indicator, but still stuck at 95%. Even deleted the batterystats.bin file. no change. must i do two cycles of full discharge and charge?
I'm having similar issues. I powered off my gtab overnight and let it charge for 8-9 hours and I have not been able to get the battery to say 100%. I'm going to leave it on all day and let it discharge completely and try again tonight.
Drained battery and left it charging overnight and while I was at work (15+ hours) and its still at 95%. I wonder if I should exchange it now.... I'll give it another week....
If you do two full discharge/recharge cycles and the battery is still not showing 100%, then I would take it back. Either it is the battery or the battery calibration electronics that isn't working (my bet would be the battery). Furthermore, since the battery is "not removable", its just not worth keeping it and taking the chance.
If the battery had been removable, then Viewsonic could have just sent you a new battery instead of having a whole gtab come back....
(Note for Viewsonic - this is where removable batteries are superior to non-removable!)

Before you return it check the actual battery life. If it turns out that it's just a calibration issue and if your happy with everything else, perhaps you should keep it.
Read the thread about my battery test...
mine is different... I can charge up to 100%, and keep using it for few hours at night, put it to sleep, then I wake up in the morning and find the battery completely drained... any1 has the similar issues??

You can try going to settings/applications/running services and turn off all non-essential services before putting it to sleep.
Mine doesn't get above 96%, will have to try the suggestions here but overall I'm still very happy with battery life of the 96%...
thanks, i'll definitely try that... but I don't think I have too much installed or services running since I flashed it with the new ROM.
have you guys notice your battery temperature? i got 2 gtab but both operating at different temperature 1 at 23-24 other is around 31?
My battery life seems pretty good even though it doesn't go higher than 95-96%. I saw in another thread to try resetting battery statistics in clockwork recovery to see if that will fix the battery display problems. I'm going to try that next.
I've got the Malata Zpad (SMB-1002-3G) and mine now wont go over 91% (happened on the 3rd day). It used to charge to 100% no problem for the first two days.
I did a recovery (format) when you press the power and volume up button, but that didn't seem to do anything (other than wipe all my settings and put it back to original factory settings of course)
I'm pretty sure the battery is fine, and lasts just as long, but it would be good to be able to reset the battery status.
PS: My Zpad is not rooted or anything. It's pretty much standard (just running Launcher Pro).

Do you have Clockwork installed by chance? If you do you can charge the battery all the way up and then go into clockwork and reset the battery stats.

Hello
Last week i bought the phone, and used it till the phone battery was empty. I tried to recharge the phone, but i wouldn't go on, only the red light blinking. I had the phone charged for 2 days, with the og charger, no result. Looked like the phone was dead.
Today i tried it again, still no result. All of a sudden the phone turned on and was charging. It is now on 99% and working just fine
Should i contact HTC?
I'd see if it happens again if you let it drain again.
If so, take it back to the store, they will give you a new phone if you can reproduce the problem there.
I have also experienced this issue when letting the battery go till the phone shuts down. I usually have to just unplug the charger and then it will boot up again.....but if i don't unplug it will not turn on and just blinks red.....
One night I fell asleep doing a nandroid back up (Yes I flash till I drop), I had the phone on the charger while doing so. I woke up 6 hours later, was still in recovery and with the battery fully charged.
What does this have to do with the op? Nothing, but I thought it was pretty cool.
I see these stories all the time, STOP DOING IT!!!!!!! You aren't suppose to drain batteries till there completely empty. You are doing damage to your battery when you do this. The battery has built in protection circuits and when you completely drain the battery the protection circuits can't operate. This may be the cause of the battery failing to recharge after a complete drain. That is why resetting the battery by unplugging the charger or removing the battery and reinserting usually works. I don't understand why you would ever need to use the phone till it shuts off. If that's the case bring the damn charger with you or invest in a second battery.

Well me i am always running around in the streetz. With my Evo 4g i would walk around with 2 extended batterys and 2 regular HTc red batterys. I am a heavy user texting, phone calls, internet all day long. and some times i leave the house at 9. a.m. and don't get home till like 1.a.m the next morning. i will be getting that 4000 mah battery shortly.
I have a problem where if the phone is off and charging, it wont turn on. I have to unplug it, turn it on, and then replug it.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Anyone else notice or have the same problem? I had mine plugged in to a full 100% charge for about 20 minutes (overcharge), took off charger and installed Chainfire 3D. Instantly dropped to 90%. I notice that this thing usually starts drops to 90% when even doing not that heavy usage. Is this something with these phones or batteries?
I have calibrated my battery on every software upgrade/rom install so roughly 4 times. Happens every time since day 1.

Sorry should of mentioned I do that also.
Your phone says the battery is 90% because the battery meter only reads 10% increments. Probably is 99% but it drops to the nearest round 10.
Given the way the DX2 with stock is you won't get to actual 90% for another 5 minutes or so.
Google the ordeal. Besides the note of 10% increments note the way Android handles charging. There was a TON of "hype" about this and phones dropping the top 10% extremely quickly, but it has to do with how the phone charges and "reads" the charge level. Just not it will never stay at 100% for even a short while, there is nothing wrong with the charging or battery, and its not "ripping you off" of 10% of charge. The battery is fully used and this is meant to happen.
When I wake up in the morning and the phone is fully charged, I disconnect it and reboot it. I use the phone lightly to moderate throughout the day and by the time I go to bed I'm still usually around 30% to 40%.
Hey Everyone,
I apologize if this is a repost. I know I read somewhere (I believe here) about a similar issue, but I couldn't find it in searching.
A little background - AT&T SGS2 running stock rom (2.3.4), rooted, using a custom kernel (2.6.35.6) I got off of here.
Anyway, my phone has been working great for months. All of a sudden, my battery indicator is completely wacky and innacurate. It seems to have started after I came back from a trip and had to put it in 'airplane mode' a few times.
The battery level indicator goes down very quickly, and is not a true indication of my phone's charge level. I noticed it a couple days ago (after we came back) where after about 6 hours, I was down to 40%. Normally after a full day's usage I am still at ~80% by the time I get home from work. Since my phone had been running for weeks without a reboot, I decided to reboot it, thinking maybe I had some overzealous background processes running. It came back online with the battery indicator at 8% (down from 40% a minute prior)! After about 30mins or so, it began to go up, and settled around 14%. It stayed at this level for hours, until I plugged it in when I went to bed.
The next morning, same thing, it would lose 1-2% every few minutes until it got down to <10%, where I would get a warning about a low battery level. But once it hit that mark, it would stay there for hours and my phone would work perfectly fine.
As I mentioend above, I thought I read a similar story where the recommendation was to turn the phone off, charge it up all the way, and then turn it back on after it was fully charged. I tried that last night, but my phone is down to 87% after only 2 hours of non-use.
I've made sure that UV/OC'ing was disabled, that no background apps are doing anything weird, etc. And it's not like my battery is really dying quickly - it's just that Android thinks it is. I've checked the level using multiple programs, and all report the same incorrect information.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!
You have encountered two separate issues, one of which is widely documented (fuel gauge reaction to rebooting), one of which is unexpected but possible on UCKH7 (abnormal drain).
But it doesn't look like the battery is really draining that much quicker, only that it's showing that it is. For example, while it might take me only 3 hours to go from 100%-10%, I'll stay at 10% for hours.
It's like the battery is no longer calibrated properly.
Do you use Samsung original charger? If not, try. It should go away.
Take your battery out for a few minutes. The SG2 differs in that it uses a chip for battery calibration/stats. You need to cut power to it completely to reset it. Now, if it still does it afterward, either the battery is faulty, or the phone's ability to measure voltages is wonky.
Also, are you using the phone's Power Saving mode? Maybe the battery is dying but the phone is taking steps to make it last longer?

I used to never use my Samsung charger and never had issues. However, months of using my blackberry charger has rendered it now ineffective. The charger dongle was slightly smaller, and its continuous wiggling messed up my phone's power port slightly. It's a good thing that my Samsung charger still works.
When we were on vacation, I was using my wife's charger for her phone (T-Mobile G2x) so we didn't need to take two (seemingly) identical chargers with us. My understanding was that the pinout and voltage were all the same, so I didn't think it would matter. Maybe that had an impact?
Normally I use my Samsung charger, and have been since we got back.
I haven't tried removing the battery yet, since its in a hard shell case and was hoping I could resolve the issue without taking it apart. But I'll try that tonight.
Power saving mode is disabled. I've also disabled BT, Wi-Fi, GPS, and shut down every app. In the time since my first post (84%) and now, I'm down to 58%, and my phone has been sitting on my desk unused the entire time.
According to the built in battery monitor, Android OS accounts for 92% of battery usage, with Display at 3%, Cell Standby at 3% and Phone Idle at 2%.
As I mentioned above, I thought I read something about a 'trick' to reset the battery gauge by turning the phone off, charging it to 100%, unplugging it, and then turning it back on. Was I mistaken?
Thanks for the responses.
FYI - I just pulled the battery, let it sit for a minute, and plugged it back in.
Battery level went from 58% to 39% after it powered back on.
I'll try charging it again to see if it has any noticeable impact.
Oh, I did want to mention that I've been very religious when it comes to charging my phone properly and trying to "take care" of the battery. I never let it get below 20% (outside of recently due to the issue), I always charge it up to 100%, I never do quick "let me just charge it for 15 minutes to make a call" type charges, I always use a wall charger and not a car charger, etc.

With the exception of high load immediately following a reset (which is why it goes funky on a low-battery reboot), it's basically impossible for the fuel gauge to go out of calibration. It's designed to continuously converge towards truth.
Check the raw battery voltage when it seems to be funny. If your voltage is consistently low, you might be experiencing a hardware failure (like maybe the battery's protection circuit is on its way out.)
After pulling the battery, putting it back in and recharging it, it seems to be working well now. Too early to say for sure, but I went the entire afternoon and evening (up until now) with some mild usage, and am only at 84%. So far so good!

The phone has a voltage drop which causes the drop from 58 to 39 when you reboot it. I'm not a fan of it either.
Hi All,
Quick question to see if anyone else has noticed this at all?
Last night my watch was on 57% after a day of usage which I thought to myself, Great if i turn my watch off over night it will last me the next day aswell,
But upon turning my watch on this morning, my battery had dropped from 57% down to 23%,
Has anyone else noticed or had this happen?
Thanks!
Why don't you just let it charge over night? You will need the charger to turn it back on anyways, it's not like this would be practical or anything..
But no, I haven't tried turning it off over night. My watch also goes down to about 50% after 1 day and then I just let it charge together with my phone at night. I love the charger, just put in on there, no need for plugging anything in, way better than all the other methods from Sony and Samsung etc

The reason i dont want to leave it on charge overnight is that it could potentially damage the battery, they havent been out long enough to know the long term affect on the battery life, and as it is a waterproof construction i dont see it being cheap getting a replacement battery, i never leave any of my stuff on charge overnight as to not damage the batteries of them.

modern lithium-ion batteries cannot be overcharged. you're misinformed.. that only happend with old battery technology
the only way to damage the battery is by overheating and for that to happen you would need to charge it more than just a night, more like 24 hours at least. and even that doesn't happen anymore because smartphones stop charging when at 100% and so does the watch.
But when the battery gets to 100% the charger may stop charging but when the battery drops to 99% the charger will kick in again,
Previous phone batteries - S4 and S3 were ruined doing that

so? that still doesn't ruin the battery. it's normal that batteries wear off after some time, but we're speaking like after a year or so. nothing you can do about that. not charging doesn't do the battery any good either. it's best to always charge a little and not from <10% to 100%
So after a year you're happy to pay another £170 because the battery will only last less than a day, I'd rather take care of it and not kill it, like my z2 only charging when dead and not leaving it on charge overnight I get 3-4 days battery on it currently yes it's only been out for a while but I don't see anyone else getting that usage from it

Do as you think, but charging the phone or watch overnight will not ruin your battery, it just naturally wears off after time. And im sure that when there will be replacement batteries it will be nowhere near 170 quid.
Anyway I am more the kind of guy that charges the phone couple of times a day, so I usually never get below 20% battery. As for the watch, I am going to charge that once every day. Right now it holds up for more than a day so after some time it will be probably down to a day, but as long it doesn't go below 15 hours, yes im fine with that.
But that's the point I'm trying to get across, a battery is stated to last a specific time so why should they not last that time without proper care, not over charging etc..
But maybe that's just my opinion.

To answer your original question, mine doesn't lose any battery when switched off. I turned it off overnight with a full battery and when I switched it on this morning, it still had a full battery.
All I can think is that you accidentally hit 'reboot' instead of 'shutdown'. I'm sure you are positive you didn't, but it is the only logical explanation. Try again and make sure

Yeah well last night when i charged it, it was 100% when i turned it off, and this morning it was on 99% when it turned on, so i will check the % tonight before i turn it off, and check it in the morning when i wake up, as of 4pm i am on 67% so it should only drop another 10-15% before i turn it off later.
Sometimes the cradle didn't pick up the watch correctly. You can place it in the cradle but it won't charge. Make sure the lighting bolt icon is on the watch
