[Q] yet another question about battery life - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

ok so when i got off work today i had around like 55% battery. on my way home i rebooted my phone and when it came back on i had 18%. what in the world happened? ill upload a screen shot of the battery chart.

your battery just wasn't calibrated correctly (it's nothing that you did). sometimes, when i flash a new rom, or pull my battery, it will drop drastically. once you charge it up and use it for a while it will calibrate itself correctly.

Happens to me all the time, even after calibrating. I haven't gone through many charge/discharge cycles after calibrating, though. Maybe that would help.

[Q] Battery Concern

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.
Might help...

[Q] Official battery, reporting false capacity

I've bought a new legit/official (has holo, serials etc.) Atrix battery.
Charged it to 100%.
During usage, its draining literally 10% an hour with very light usage (several minutes an hour). In short its draining at three times the speed of my 1 year old battery.
I've tried wiping battery stats but that didn't work.
Any ideas, or is the stats just buggered and I just gotta run it in? (ie it will go to zero then sit on zero for 5-6 hours lol)
note I've gone back to my original battery in meantime rofl
EDIT: The actual problem is that the batt is reporting much less capacity than it actually has
|The new battery is great capacity wise lasts till midnight
However the stats are still totally screwed, it will say 1% by midday, then hum along until midnight fixed at 1% (I dunno exactly how long for as I can't take the risk of leaving it off at night then its dead and I don't wake up for work in morning). |
Could just be a bad battery. Considering the old works fine that's probably the problem.

I have a similar problem with the original battery that came with phone it drains the charge quickly to 1% and on one 1% it gives a battery life of more time than the time it took to discharge from 100%.i was thinking of buying a new battery but now i am confused that what should i look before buying the battery to get a battery that can show me the exact charge on the indicator.
I have tried all tutorial of calibration used different roms and kernels but nothing seems to solve the issue.
well I might try that then, just let it run to zero see how long it lasts then see whether the stats come good over time
OK help needed.
The new battery is great capacity wise, lasts from morning to bedtime with >2 hours of bluetooth music, 30 mins calls, a ton of texts.
However the stats are still totally screwed, it will say 1% by midday, then hum along until midnight fixed at 1% (I dunno exactly how long for as I can't take the risk of leaving it off at night then its dead and I don't wake up for work in morning).
Aside from wiping stats which I have tried, is there anythnig else I can do?
I really want to use it, like I said real life capacity is great, but if its always giong to be reporting 1% its a bit dicey not knowing how much batt you really have left...
same issue with my spare battery not sure wtf is going on
When I have battery stat problems the following has always fixed it:
1) leave phone on until it dies
2) take back off phone and plug into wall charger
3) after batt symbol shows 100% (without unplugging or turning off the phone) remove the battery. After a minute or so battery symbol will have question mark
4) put battery back in and leave it for at least 2 hours (seems like I have had to press the switch sometimes but you don't want the phone to reboot or you will have to start all over)
5) reboot into CWM and wipe the battery stats
6) reboot and it should be good to go
Anyone else found a fix to this yet?
I'm now running ICS (turl build) issue is still there.
Steps taken to resolve
- discharge to zero
- charge to max
- wipe stats
still there.
The weird thing is that the actual capacity is fine, it can last all day no worries, just from midday onwards it thinks its 1% so has annoying LED flashing at you, also you have no idea how much batt it actually has.
Edit: I just realised your suggestion above has extra step (take batt out of connected atrix then insert again). I guess I'll have to drain it again and do it overnight... gah

Nothing will work i have tried almost every tutorial. Recently i found out the phone is showing the the full capacity of battery only 500 that's why i think we will have to change that with the actual voltage to get a accurate battery indicator.What's ur battery full charge design check if from the root exploler
/sys/devices/platform/cpap_battery/power_supply/battery
My phone uevent is showing this
Powersupply-capacity=5
Powersupply-voltage-now=3836000
Powersupply-temp=260
Powersupply-charge-fill-design=500
Powersupply-charge-counter=1

I'll try the insert empty bat into already connected phone, charge to 100% remaining off, repeat trick overnight, then report back.
FWIW on my 'good' battery which is 1 year old ROFL it says 1880
not sure how changing it would help though or is even possible?. It must be dynamically reported somehow as my good battery gives me a 'good' stat.
I use battery calibration and it worked, have it

the battery is charging calibration if you have to load it to calibrate

How much is ur other battery showing.I have tried different ways but was not able to change values.
500 same as you! second drain and calibrate did nothing
Maybe theres a faulty batch of batteries and we both got one
Can people PLEASE stop telling us to calibrate we've BOTH DONE THAT MANY TIMES NOW. The problem is that the capacity of the battery is being reported as 500mah not 1930 or whatever its supposed to be. THe actual running time of the battery is fantastic, just thinks its at 0 all the time lol
/sys/devices/platform/cpap_battery/power_supply/battery
Powersupply-charge-fill-design=500 - should be ~1900mah

92% battery max

For the past few days my battery has been charging to a max of 92%, whether or not I try unplugging the battery, leaving the phone on the charger, wiping battery stats, and doing all that I can to try to reset the battery stats.
Anyone have any idea?
UPDATE: My phone is still not charging past 92%, no matter how long I leave it on, or what I try to do to fix it. 4167mv max
I have a similar issue, it's been like that for a long time for me. What ROM/kernel are you running? It might fix it to completely drain it, charge it powered off, reinstall ROM/kernels when it is completely charged and reset battery.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
drain it until it shuts off and then charge it all the way to 100%.
I too was having this issue after going from cm7 week 5, to week 8. I did what others were recommending and charged to what showed 4200mv, pulled the battery while still plugged in, put battery back in then after it showed 5%, turned it back on and Viola, 100% battery. Try it.
its most effective if you know your battery is fully charged, power it down, pull the battery, while the battery is pulled plug it into the power adapter, it will act like its starting to charge, but then instead of having a percentage, it will have a question mark. pull the power, put the battery back in, turn on, wipe battery stats in recovery and run with it...

I just started having this issue and cant wait to try it thanks for the suggestions.
when this happend on mine all i did was keep using it and it fixed itself. i ran it down maybe to 20% before I got to charge it again and it slowly creeped back up to 100%. took about a week.
I've had the problem, and have run the solution more times that I can count. But nothing ever fixes it permanently. Everytime I run the battery low, the levels get all screwy again. Maybe my phone is just worse than everyone else's, but I had to just give up on it. Would love a permanent solution, but so long as I'm running this ROM (CM7), I doubt I'll ever find one.

I'm in the same situation as you are... I had this problem for a long time now (Guess it has something to do with excessive flashing...) and no matter what kind of solution I do (Wipe battery stats via recovery, re-calibrate the battery, pull the battery out while charging and replugging it) it returns after a day or two.
I want to check if it has something to do with the battery or the device, and if I will remember to do so, I will plug my spare battery for several day's run, but that is subjected to me leaving the comfort of my usual laziness....
Would love if there was a permanent solution as well, thou I doubt that too....
I've had the same problem on a number of different roms and at different times. I find that instead of mucking around wiping stats etc, it has always come good eventually for me.

Didn't really understand what you meant, did the battery percentage fixed by itself and gave you 100% at full charge on one day? out of the blue?
Or did you just got used to have less then 100% battery display?

First let the battery completely drain and the phone shut down by it self. Second step is to pull out the battery and leave it out for 10min, after that take a plastic bag and put the battery in it and place it in the freezer for 15min. after this palce the battery again in the mobile. make sure there is no any moisture on the battery. Then charge the phone without power on till 100%.
By following these steps this will made your battery to charge fully and more talk time

Um correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but doesn't cold kill the battery and shorten its life? I remember my mom always putting new batteries in the fridge and them only lasting a couple days compared to the ones left out that lasted a month or so with same use.

Haha, I got a good laugh out of this one -- you've got to be joking.
I've had this problem for a quite a while now with the Atrix and two different batteries. I've tried dozens of combination of resetting the battery stats, running the battery completely down, and powering up without the battery and hot swapping it in. The hot swap definitely allows me to finally recharge to 100%, but once I run it down again, the problem returns. I've learned to just live with the less than 100% reading -- battery still seems to last a full 24 hours for me.

That trick hasn't worked since nicad batteries in the 90s, and is a really bad idea with our Li-PO.
Drain the battery till the phone shuts off, charge back up while the phone is off.
If it still doesn't get to 100%, boot into CWM, wipe battery stats and power off the phone to let it charge again.
^^ I know it works because I've done this like 2 days ago, and many times before that.
I have had this issue as well for a very long time. I've tried the pull out, question mark, 5% thing and it usually only works for one cycle, then the next only goes to 97%, then the next to 93%, then 90%, and it continually goes down until I have to do it again. Hopefully a permanent fix can be found soon. I've tried clearing battery stats, draining it to 0%, then charging it fully. I've tried everything. As far as I'm concerned, there's no fix as of right now.

★ATTENTION! I FOUND THE FIX!★
Turn phone off and plug it in to a wall charger. Charge it until your notification light turns green, quickly tap the power button to check battery level. (Usually shows 90%) If the notification light turns on, but the battery indicator is not at 100%, unplug phone, take out battery and put it back in. Now plug your phone. It should be 100% now. For the final fix: go into "Android Recovery" and select "Mounts". Mount Your SD card and Emmc. Finally wipe battery stats. Reboot phone.
This method worked for me. I am 100% sure this is the fix for this problem. This has to be done every time you flash a new rom or when your phone freezes and you screw up calibration by pulling the battery while it is still on. BTW, this is my first post so don't be mean to me!

battery information problem

hi guys , i got some problem with the information displayed for my razr maxx. the thing is the battery usage curve won't change for the first 10% of power drain, and the awake bar and screen on bar are full. but when the battery drops to 80% and below, the curve starts to count from the 80% position, what is going on? how can i fix it ?
here is the screenshot
How many times have you already charged that battery from 0% to 100% and drained it back again to 0%?
Seems like a simple calibration issue that should have no effect in real world battery performance.
Had that too. If you want to know more about this, look up "batterystats.bin".
So, if you haven't done what I said in the first line, do it and report back.
i have tried delete the .bin file bwfore, nothing changed. i think i will try to charge it from 0to 100again see if there will be any change. btw will the battery calibration apps solve this?
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
Read that. You don't have to do anything, just let your razr get some charge cycles and the readouts will be right. Remember: There is no need to tinker with this, as this has no effect except for cosmetic terms.
thanks for the information. one more thing, the battery indicator always shows that the screen on and awake time are the same, even after i turn off the screen and play music for an hour. is this normal? or the system keeps recognizing the status of the screen as on? how should i deal with this?
I would just wait a few days (read: charge cycles) and look again. Indeed strange, but if your battery doesn't get drained this also seems just to be another cosmetic issue.
actually it seems it has been more energy draining than before. it wouldn't drop 1% when i turned on flight mode at night and checked it in the morning. but now even i turn on flight mode it drops about 5% next morning.

Don't count on the battery percentage today. Look again tomorrow/after some charge cycles.
The battery readouts need to be calibrated to display the correct battery level.
I had the same "issues" (in fact, those don't seem to be real issues) and they went away. I assume your razr will behave the same as mine
Is the phone still new? I know mine was a little wonky until the charging and the meter apparently calibrated themselves to Maxx's battery Ever since, it's been very accurate.
yes it is still new. i got it about half a month ago. just got it charged to 100% from 0%. gonna see what will happen。

[Q] Something wrong with my device/battery

This is not happening for the first time...
Ever since I rooted my device and flashed Android Revolutionary Rom on it, I noticed some weird behavior with my device/battery.
Last night I drained my battery to 6% and I turned it off. This morning I charged my phone with the phone stayed off and when the battery indicator screen lighted up it was showing that 50% juice remains. Since this is not happening for the first time, this time I would like to test on it to see whether there's really this much juice remains. So I turned my phone on and as expected, the battery indicator shows 50++% left. So I play around with it and I noticed the screen flashing terribly after some time. Not long after that the phone hang there and I had to do a hard reset by pulling out the battery. Before that, I can see that the battery is drained to around 20%. I was unable to power it on after pulling out the battery and when I connected my device to the charger, nothing happens (no display, no LED). So I left it there charging and after some time, finally the LED is lighting up (So, I assume that I drained the battery COMPLETELY just now). I can switch on the device afterwards and it shows 6% battery remains. I wonder why is this happening as this only happens when I charge my device with it turning off. Something wrong with the battery? Device? Or I have to do battery calibration?

I can switch on the device afterwards and it shows 6% battery remains. I wonder why is this happening as this only happens when I charge my device with it turning off. Something wrong with the battery? Device? Or I have to do battery calibration?

Let it charge to 100% first before using. Then check how is the battery usage.
There might be an issue with the battery also. If it is swollen then it's time to get a new one.
Try using another battery and see. If it works fine on other battery then your battery needs to change,
The problem could also be in the ROM. Something could have gone wrong during installation even though it may look fine. If this is the case then reflash the ROM with a full wipe. If the problem still remains, return to stock rom and see.
I had the exact same problems, the screen flashes and stutters, network signal is lost and the phone turns off, it is due to uncalibrated battery.
There's a simple fix, download battery calibration from play stor (green android icon with percentage), charge your phone to 100% without using it, then click battery calibr. inside that app, then doscharge it till 0% (do your normal usage as ussual) and then charge it back to 100%
For healthy battery life don't let it drain lower than 10% it's the li-ion physics and always charge it fully, don't charge from 0 to 30-50-60% because the ions in the battery will not have a good flow.
Everything has it's lifespan but if it's configured and used properly it can have a long lifespan
Also to mention, if my recommendation doesn't work, your battery could be swolen due to inproper charging / heavy oc-ing or your charger is messed up.
Also to say, that flickering occured to me when i flashed a new rom and when i do lot of reboots, then the batterystats freak out, the voltages also and also your phone.
Charhe and use it properly, try to stay with a rom at least a couple of days to see how it'll go.

The battery usage is normal, and its not swollen. I guess I will try to calibrate the battery or reflash the ROM again.

Yea, I will try to calibrate my battery to see if it helps
