yesterday after flashing nero 5 i wanted to recondition, so while sleeping at night i charged my phone to 100, and now during the day time im trying to waste the battery, but during that i got caught up on adb and connected my charger, and left it there, now its back at 83% battery, does this mess up the reconditioning process? or do i have charge back to 100, then do it all over?
anyone? please lol

what you should do is drain it all the way untill you cant turn it on anymore and leave it chargin all night turned off, and when you wake up turn it on and let it charge untill its full again, then boot into recovery and wipe batt statt , and you should be good to go mine last about 20 hours after i did that

I did just about the same with mine, minus the chargin all night turned off, and I am getting about 20-24 hours with mine, which is more than I need as I plug it in every night

me to im near a power source or computer all the time so
What you should do is keep letting it drain until 1% or so. I don't think you need to let it die completely. Charge to 100%. Boot into recovery and clear battery stats with the charger still plugged in. This is the important part. Then drain the battery and charge to full. Then you should be good to go.
question, after draining to about 1%, does the phone have to be off? and can i use the phone just a bit while its charging?

The general consensus is that when you condition you should charge the phone while it's off. I don't know enough about battery chemistry to tell you why. Just do it to be safe
Battery "recondition", actually does not "recondition" the battery, it is a trick just to get more accuarte readings (that's the only reason you reset STATS)
The battery may not charge up to 100% and will never do, just following this procedure. It will just say it is @ 100% when you actually are @ 85 or 87, that's why the sudden "jump" you see.
Best way to try to get better readings is charging the battery till it says 100%, unplug it and plug it again a couple of times until it fully charges and follow the same procedure.
Once yo did this a few times, turn off phone, reboot in CWM (with the phone never unpluged) and clear battery stats. turn off phone and unplug,,,,
You will got at least more accurate readings

Android Police did a piece on plugging and unplugging your phone to get up to 100% (it's called bump charging, see below). They recommended that you NOT do it because it doesn't get you much additional juice and you wear your battery out faster. Normally I just charge my battery up to 100% (no drain), wipe the battery stats, unplug and go until it dies. I use it while it's plugged in and still get a full day easily out of my phone.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. You can not condition a Lithium-Ion battery. All you are doing is wearing it out prematurely by deep cycling. Every time you do this you destroy your over all battery life a little.
I have posted about this here in several thread, and I am getting a little tired of having to tell people NOT to do this because they don't search for themselves. Do a search on the forums for deep cycle li-ion and see for yourself.
If you want to know the technical reasons why, Google is your friend.
so we just deal with what is perceived as faster battery depletion?
Im asking because As i have posted on another threat I am a complete freak about my battery life.
Basically yes, I have 3 batteries to go around all day, although I us the car charger, if for any reason one day I take the train to the city, I will eat up 2 and a half batteries in a day.......
I had 3 batterys for my hd2 I need to get 2 new batteries for my vibrant. I guess im just tripping because I tried and over clock kernal and it seems like its dying faster while the screen is off

anyways, i've heard it all, and even i used to agree with people like you, and it probably DOES wear out my battery, but the first time i did it, i got 6 hours more in battery, does that mean that my batterys dying because its giving me more life?

Yea, just chill. It is all in your head. From ROM to ROM, usage pattern to usage pattern, and app version to app version - there are just too many variables to worry about. Just use your phone, charge it when it needs it, and relax.
Your phone's battery is going to get less life as it ages. There is nothing you can do about that. Also, it will likely only get 2-3 years before it needs replacement. If it gets less than 2 years it is because you have been "conditioning" it. which ages it prematurely and also causes how long it lasts between charges to shorten as well.
Li-ion does not have a memory, so conditioning is an inherently false concept. Recalibrating the devices ability to read the battery is a different story, but it should only be done if it really needs it (like it thinks it is at 1% when it is at 20%), and it should never be done more frequently than a minimum of 30 charge cycles or if you charge it once a day when you go to bed no more than once a month. Less frequent is better.
So sorry, you need to find something else to obsess about. Might I suggest getting Team Whiskey to make BlackFroyo the default theme, use the 5 bar signal meter, the larger numbers on the battery, and the hacked camera the used the power button to take pictures. That would save all of us some time.

Nice link - try reading the stuff by the engineers that work with batteries for a living now instead. You do know eHow is just a site where any idiot that thinks they know something can post, right? Are you going to reference wikipedia next?
BTW when you recalibrated your battery and got 6 more hours, did you do anything else that might have explained it? You know like flash a new effing ROM? That might possible change a few things to do with your power usage.

it was a joke
and no, i flashed Nero 4.1, and then used it for a week thinking the phone would adjust to the battery and new rom, it didn't.
then i thought i'd just take a chance and recondition my battery, it was my first time, and it worked out great.
and trust me i'm a heavy user.
roughly 300-400 texts per day.
20-40 phone calls
music about 5 hours per day
and i play soem games, but thats understandable because playing dungeon defenders uses like 30% battery per hour bcz of the high graphics and such.
a bunch of app downloading.
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
I've had my Titan for nearly 5 months now. I am hoping Titan's battery isn't that crap as I think. However, since last 1 week what I've seen is my LED goes green to indicate that my phone is charged. It shows 100% in battery saver menu. However, if I restart my phone while it's plugged in the charger even after green LED, then after the reboot my battery is down to 89-91% mark. Either the battery calibration has gone wonky or the LED doesn't recognise the real battery levels.
It would really help if anyone who charges their phone during the coming week, could restart their phone while plugged in as soon as you see green LED and then see if anything changes in your battery stats?
I've noticed my phone does last an hour or two longer if I charge after this reboot till it's 100%. It could well be a placebo effect for me. But might help if others see the same too.

The calibration is a little wacked. Here is my example - i charge it for 5 hours and it says 100%... but it only lasts about 7 hours and i can tell throughout the day that it drains faster. If i charge it for 8 i get closer to 13 with heavy web and game use. At 5 hours it turns green also ... but it seems as though it still charges more when left plugged in longer.
Some apps also like wp7 news clips off about 1 to 2 percent battery everytime i run them. (it brings in feeds from 20 different websites (estimate, i didn't count) so it's worth it but i check it a lot.
Could be wrong but as far as im aware that over charge protection. Your phone shouldnt really be charged 100%. 90-95% should be the sweet spot. Generally when i first noticed that i used to restart the phone and charge it to 100% but my battery life actually got less than just letting the phone decide when its enough
My titan has recently been getting more and more life from the battery; upwards of two days. I turned off wifi and I got 4 days 4 hours, died just some hours ago (I don't game much, but I do listen to music).
I've been getting into the habit of charging it when it gets below 5%, not every night like I used to. So it'll be 30% at night sometimes, and it'll last me another day with light/average usage (as opposed to my previous mindset where anything below 50% is a no go).
It might not work to leave till last 5% especially for someone like me who travels a lot. Don't you fear at times that your phone might faint when you really want to use it? As soon as my phone goes in battery saver mode I plug it in. Maybe that 90% limit as a reason. Over riding it helped me but if I did not over ride the following cycle then my battery performance seemed awful! Very strange working indeed.

If I plan on using it AND I know I'm going out where there is potentially no USB to charge with, I bring my portable USB battey charger and/or one of my other phones. However, I don't mind not having a phone with me at all times, so if it dies, it dies. Still, I just got it to last 4 days, so if you don't watch videos or play games frequently, charging every three days is unheard of for a smartphone!
The battery's health relies on charging it properly, and I value keeping this up over having it charged when convenient for me. Battery saver kicks in at 20% I think, and with battery saver, you'll get almost another day with light usage, so charging when battery saver turns on is probably really hurting your battery.
I generally unplug my phone when I notice the LED turns green (even if I'm going to bed for the night I'll unplug it). I have never had such amazing battery life with any other phone, but I also have never taken such lengths to improve battery life either.
Why don't you pick up a brand new HTC Evo 3D battery off eBay or something and use that? Its a 1730mAh battery compared to Titans 1600mAh and works fine in the Titan.

Deep discharging a Li-Ion is worse for it than frequent charging. Temperature also is very important and I haven't noticed the battery get hot when sitting on the charger after the light turns green.
My Lumia is dead after very little usage today and overnight charge my co-workers is at 77%. Should I be concerned or just leave it dead until it comes back up?

I am told that conditioning these batteries is no longer required to gain optimum performance. However, it is strange to see the things we do with the battery 'appear' to work.
If you drain to 0% , be aware that you may have a problem bringing the phone back up. As you know, WP does turn on when the power is connected. With the battery at 0, there is not enough power to turn on. You may find yourself going in a turn on , turn off loop for a couple of hours, before enough juice is transferred to the battery to allow it to turn on and stay on, on its own. I'm not aware of any damage this can cause, but it can be irritating if you need the phone quickly as the charging sequence is continually being interrupted by the lack of power. If you do this...be very very very patient

Me either having owned a Focus, Focus S, Lumia 900, and now 920 I was worried like I said a co-worker has the same phone different color was sitting at 75% while I was at 20ish. I am well aware of the phone not coming up though and I actually don't like one thing on windows phone is that the phone won't stay off once you connect power. But I will report my results today 8:26 and I'm sitting on 100 after takind device off at like 7:24 with a 10 minute call and like 2mins of data usage. Looking better so far I will do a little media listening when I have to get out of office and will report back. And I really don't like how clueless ATT Reps are, when I managed we actually had people who cared and none of them was sporting a Windows Phone at all.

I haven't had this problem. Never have. But several people in the xda 900 forum have reported this. And, as you know, with Microsoft products, bad news outruns any good news.
Just thought it prudent to put everything known on the table. Would have felt bad if I didn't mention the possible situation, and then he/she ran into the problem
For me, I'm on my 4th charge since I got the phone. The battery lasts from when I get out of bed in the morning, till I go to sleep at night, with lots left over. That's 430am -10ish pm...charge was over 40% still left. Last night I played a card game until the % got under 10%....then plugged it in.
First day results of the battery were horrible. After first charge it also left a lot to be desired...since....its better each time.
**Update**
After letting the device completely die out it has been working optimal, on like 80% now after 7hrs of use

Funny, I made an account just for this issue. First day I got the phone it died within 3 hours of use, it came in the box at roughly 77% battery.
Being as it was 0 percent i figured that was fine for conditioning the next day again it died after about 3 hours of use..., I tried turning it on and the battery thing kept flashing, I kept trying to turn it on and eventually it turned on and it said it was at 0%
That 0% increased on its own to like 6 and it didnt die for a long while then when it fully died a third time... I fully charged it and now it does not seem to want to die. I dont know if it is just my unit or what but it seems to take a few charges to get fully running.
Regards.
That's exactly how it went for me as well. First day - it drained super fast and shut off. It wouldn't turn back on until I had charged it for a while first. Each day since has shown better performance than the previous day.
I have had my 920 for a week now. I was barely getting 4 hours on a charge. "Conditioning" the battery doesn't seem to have done any good. Using Battery Saver does however. I charged it to 100% this morning, put it on Battery Saver, and put it on standby. I just checked it 12 hours later, and it is STILL on 100% battery. I haven't used it at all mind you, but it didn't even sip 1% of the battery in 12 hours.

I had this problem with my HD2 (running WP7), my Radar, my HD7s, & my 900. Everyone I've known with a Windows Phone has this same problem. I think you and the others are the lucky ones. Seems to be an OS problem. Really would love to plug in my phone and leave it off to charge. Not that big of a deal, really, but just weird it's not capable of doing this.

Update*
After letting it die completely I have been getting all day and putting it on the charger at nigh with 40% ~ 50% left, and I am running 3 email accounts and live tile galore. I do only 20-40min calls a day and slight web surfing while a decent amount of music listening 15~1+hrs, sure when Teamviewer or Logmein comes I will use it a lot more.
Hi to all.
Strange things are happening with my battery, phone...
In last few days my battery can't hold much. It drains very fast, i mean very very fast. When i use the phone, maybe it can hold for 1 hour and more. Just browsing, chat, nothing special. When i put the phone to the charger it's also charging very fast, and even,it's skipping the numbers. For example, i'm looking at my phone, it's 19%, and for another moment it's 21-22%, maybe 15-20 seconds difference, literally you can see numbers skipping. Also, for example, i have now 45% battery, it's not on charger, and the second moment when you look at the phone it's 48%, that usually happens when the phone is in sleep or stanby mode, call it whatever you want.
I won't try flashing ROMs , factory reset etc... because the same thing happens when the phone it's turned off. I mean, the fast charging and skipping problem.
I don't have any problem with heating. The phone works as usuall, it's fast and everything. Well, from my earlier experience, the battery is probably dead. I even ordered a new one, but it will take a few weeks to arrive from China.
I will post also a screenshot of battery stats, and i will mark the parts where you can see the percentage of battery going up, even when it's not on charger (what the heck).
Does anybody have this kind of or similiar experience/problem? Not on the same phone, i meant in other phones also. Could be there some problem with motherboard, charging, or something else?
Here's the screenshot. I hope everybody will understand what am i talking about.

Here's the screenshot. I hope everybody will understand what am i talking about.

I'm wondering if you have a hardware issue, you stated in another thread your battery was charging in an hour, now that is very unusual to me.
It should be around +/- 2hrs with phone switched off.

Well i'm also wondering. I will found out probably soon, when i get the new battery. From the start, when i bought the phone it always took less than 2 hours to charge, later that changed a little bit. The charging got faster over time. I was never thinking to much about it. The phone is really useless now, at the moment i don't have another phone. I was thinking buying a new one, but i will probably wait to see the results when i change the battetry.

I'd be interested to know when you do replace it, whether it's just an inheritly bad battery or something to to with the charging PCB.

Hi to All, and Hi to you Wilderone!
As i already wrote, i was waiting for the battery to arrive, and it arrived yesterday. I replaced the battery, it was charged already to 41%. For now, the battery is holding quite good. No "problem" while charging either. It takes now approx. 1 hour and 50 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%. Before, it was approx 70 minutes. I can't tell yet anything about the battery life, because it was charged only one time, and i didn't use it much from yesterday because i was working all the day, but i hope i will be able to post battery stats in a few days. So i hope that it was only bad battery, and that there is no problem with motherboard or with the Charging PCB. Will keep you informed.
