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

I've only had my 3d for a few days but since day one it has taken forever for my battery to charge to a 100% . It will charge to 99% and stay there for what seems like an hour then when it finally hits a 100% it will start to discharge after about 5 minutes.
My question is, is this normal?
TIA for any help.
HTC handles charging differently than others. That is normal, don't worry about it. It will discharge a few percent and then top itself off again

I know about the discharge but its the fact that it takes so long to hit a 100% from 99% .
But thanks for the reply I know you have to be busy with all your development.

Mine does that weird part about it is when it dead dead and you throw it on the charger for 9hrs it still won't turn green lol.. I may have to let it sit there longer ... When I turn it on says 99% and still charging will hit 100% pretty quick and battery life lasts forever lol... It is normal tho for it to take awhile to hit 100 % and that discharge thing is normal too no worrys man..
Yeah, I guess it's HTC 'method' to charge the battery, although it makes no sense... I thought maybe it was something to do with the stock battery, so I bought 'Platinum' series 1900mAh the other day and it still does the same things....
Not only taking an hour or so to go from 99 to 100 percent, but when I try to 'calibrate' the battery, it takes an additional 5 or 6 hours it seems. I charge it to 100, turn it off, plug it back in, and wait for the green light to come on again.... two or three hours later, it will finally turn green. If I only let it charge for an hour or so and turn it on, the battery will show 95%... absolutely ridiculous. I don't ever remember the Evo being like that. The battery charging on the 3D is just stupid, in my opinion
Hey guys..
I noticed something weird on my galaxy s3. Whenever i charge my device till 100% and take it off from charger, it goes down to 99% immediatly. I thought it could be a bug in my current rom so i flashed another one. But the buf still exists. I even changed kernels. Still same problem. I am running latest foxhound rom
+franco r5 kernel right now.
Is there any solution for this bug?
Hope someone can help me.
Best regards

It is not a bug, that's how it is made.
If the phone charged to 100% and sat there for a long time, the battery would lose charge cycles and life faster. So what it does, is one of two things:
It will either NEVER actually charge to 100%, or
It will charge to 100%, take itself off the charger to about 95%, and then charge again to 100%, over and over.
HTC does the second one, I think the S3 does the first.
Thanks for the answer.
I didnt know that. Its just so weird because on every of my previous phones the battery stayed on 100%.
But anyways thanks

I know, I don't like it either haha. Some phones will even say "100%" right off the charger even if they're not actually at 100%, which is why sometimes you see people that take their phone off the charger at 100% and a few minutes later they are at 95, etc.
There have been a lot of questions about this in sammy roms, and also in the s1. And it got me thinking about it this way.
As soon as you disconnect the phone from the charger it's dropped to 99%. But in my head, I say it has had to have even used the most minimal amount of juice and is 'technically' no longer at 100%.
Some are saying other phones are reporting batteries on 100% for up to an hour after disconnecting from the charger. That might look great, but there is no way that is correct either, because it has to have used some juice in that hour.
Maybe samsung don't like pandering to the needs of the masses re battery use reporting. Maybe sammy is the only one reporting a correct level.
Me, I don't care. My phone lasts just fine. Are you getting better battery life than your last phone? Haven't I read that the 1x has ordinary battery life? Does it's percentage stay at 100% for a long time? If so, that would be a bit of a rip off to me.
I know sammy have included the option to show the battery percentage within the settings of the s3. I don't use it, and my battery indicator stays at 100% until the battery reaches about 90%. Works for me.
Batteries never charge to 100% anyways to avoid the battery over-charging and exploding

Charge stops at 54%
Hi,
My SIII e fully stock and a few days now it does not charge past 54%. i tried to drain the battery completely and charge it after ant same thing happened. I can leave it overnight charging and it stops at 54%. Any solutions?
Thanks,
After flashing new roms on my photon I can never get the battery icon to display the correct percentage. I would leave my phone on charge until it reaches 100% and when I unplug it it'll immediately drop to 99%. I've tried the app battery calibration, let the phone discharge, and I still have the same results when I recharge. I've also tried to wipe battery stats in bootstrap recovery and the same thing happens. Not only that but at times the phone will alert me that it's fully charged when it at 98% charge. Is there something I didn't do properly or is there any way for me to fix this?

Mines the same way, always has been. There isn't anything wrong with your phone, thats just the way the programmers of the phones software chose to interpret different events when charging...
Oh okay. I just find it a little annoying every time I'll disconnect the charger from the phone and it shows that. The devs should look more into that and get it right but I'm not complaining, they work too hard to get everything working almost perfectly on the roms they create and the battery icon shouldn't set them back from releasing their software.

I think The problem is that framework-res.apk...
I just got a Samsung Battery Charger/Stand with Battery & have just charged the new battery with it, swapped it for the old one that had just run out when I noticed something weird...
The new battery was showing up as 100% for about 15 minutes. During which time I had the screen on for 3 minutes at full brightness.
What does that mean??
I've never seen 100% for any more than a second after I've unplugged the phone.
I'm assuming there's some difference between the batteries and the stats that are in the phone for the battery. I've used the Battery Calibration app before, when changing roms on my old phone, and that would sort out little anomalies. Do I need to use battery calibration every time I switch batteries?
Will this work itself out?
Will this swapping negatively affect my phone in anyway?
I thank you in advance for your help/suggestions
The phone has logic to not let the battery charge to 100% for too long. The charger does not. Battery calibration apps do nothing.

So... the charger over charged the battery?
Will that damage it?

I posted the same thing in the morning on another thread. Great mind think alike! Haha
Well to me it doesn't mean anything wrong really. Just that the phone doesn't fully charge the battery for safety or maybe heat reasons. Who knows? If samsung desktop charger is approved by samsung its good enough to me.

Guess your right.
So yours was saying 100% for unusually long as well?

It did on my new one for about 5min. Only but I had wifi on and screen and doing some work. It Wasatch new battery and didn't think much of it. I would say that even that was way more than the immediate 99% once off the charger on the phone

Just read your earlier post. Seems strange that the external charger charges more than the phone. I guess I can't complain about a few extra minutes!

One of my usual days with the battery charged up in the morning on he desktop charger, and I'm now 8 almost and have 72% when previously I was getting about 60% around this time

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.

It should be allowed to charge for 7-8 hours on the first.
