[Guide]Proper Galaxy Ace Battery Fix? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

ok i have tried many types of fixes to make the battery perform a little better on our Ace,
i seem to have sorted my problem of battery draining to 75/80% in the first 5/10mins of play.
what i did?
used phone as normal and when i get my 1st low battery promt, i turned brightness on full, screen time out to 30mins. gps on, 3g on, wifi on, blutooth on. and used google maps as live wallpaper.
let it drain battery itself till death.
leave phone for around 10mins.
turn on phone. let it die.
do this till phone wont enter pass samsung logo screen.
now even tho you cant boot the phone, you should be able to enter clockworkmod recovery 5.
now enter cwm5
wipe battery stats.
reboot system and let it die.
leave for 5mins.
now plug in your charger and charge for 5hours with phone off.
thats it, my battery life is better, 3g is on, everything else off as i dont use "wifi/gps/background data/ during work hours. been running for 2h.46mins, 20mins of phone calls and 8 texts, and only little web browsing to check a email, and battery is at 87%. it would usaly be less than 50% at this point for me.
ther might be a guide on this but i cant find it, and the ones i did try didnt work what so ever.
this worked for me so i thought i would share. battery is 100% better for me

I really don't think there's a single tangible benefit to killing the battery like that, and there are plenty of arguments to suggest it could be detrimental. And 'battery stats deletion' has been dismissed by android developers.
But I think that if you have seen a benefit from this process so far it's mostly (if not only) because of the simple process of giving your phone:
a) some reasonable time switched off and
b) a proper 5-12 hour charge.
This is good, healthy practice for any user who is constantly using their device, rarely turns it off and/or normally only charges the standard 3 hours.

dude i tried every guide out ther, this method worked for me, and its not a matter of killing the battery in bad way as you make it sound, this method emptied it the battery to atleast 1% so when you wipe stats it results in a accurate collaboration, it seems to collaborate the battery to real life standard.
as it should be, people with sh** battery life have nothing to lose, and we all have/had this issue, but i dont anymore so it helped me and im just sharing the love. if it dosnt work for you then check your scripts/oc ect. this is running realy well so far and wifi has been on but phone idle since last post and it hasnt dropped a bit. try and test
p.s 12hr charge is over kill. lowers overall battery life fast.
p.p.s im a heavy user, and i test roms alot, had my ace for 6 months now, and i Know ther is a better battery life right away with this method.
tried and tested, im using DDKQ8 with AOSP Beta1 flashed on top.
BEST BATTERY LIFE I HAVE EVER HAD IN ALL TESTS/ROM/SCRIPT COMBOS.

I'm sure it does, but what I'm saying is that it works for the reasons I suggest are good in your method, and not because you kill the battery to the point you can only open in recovery, then delete battery stats. That's pretty laborious too.
p.s 12hr charge is over kill. lowers overall battery life fast.

Not really. Built in killswitch prevents overcharge. But point about longer charging is that Samsung batteries in particular are lazy at energy uptake. That's why over the course of a week the life-cycle of the phone will slowly deteriorate despite it saying its been charged to 100% each time.
I'm not dismissing your method all together, just saying some of it is good and some of it is pointless. I suppose experimentation is the only scientific way to come to a proper answer.

I feel this is not the good way to get some extra juice if we keep on doing this on daily basis then there will be a problem to battery and moreover this process takes so much time also so its better to keep charger with u. Battery stats wipe has nothinh to do with battery juice stats are for only purpose which shows which app used how much battery.

pic from this morning. still running great.

My suggesstion is leave the battery alone for a week.. Keep using it as usual.. After a week u ll see the battery becomes normal.. I stopped doing that now phone discharges normally.. I get around 17-18 HRs with 3G..

---

can a admin delete this post pls as people dont want to follow the guide and instead posting ther own method if any.
this works sweet for me. i have posted pics to prove its helpe. and yet no one is willing to try if they have rubbish batyery. if ur battery is fine no need to do this. my battery was ****. now its collabed properly.

---

I just use battery calibrating app from market, easy tho...

Options to save your battery
First, don't ever leave your phone charging overnight coz if it gets overcharged, it spoils the overall baterry lyf of your phone...
Second, The best time to charge your phone is when it's below 10%, and don't use usb cables for charging, use the real adapter
Third, Keep brightness low and screen timeout should be quick
Fourth, Make sure that You Tube, music listening, programs which runs in the background including the Sync option along with Bluetooth should be turned off whenever necessary as these too constitutes fair amount of battery drain.
Fifth, GPS as well as the Camera eats up a lot of battery, so always remember to switch these both off when not in use or necessary and specially when battery is low then it’s advised to not to use these features which can be quickly done by setting the widget shortcut on the home screen itself, touch and hold on the Home Screen in the blank area and not on any app icon and select Widget>Power Control. Add this Widget to your home screen to choose the express settings.
P.S- Sorry for my english..

I don't know if this guide is usefull or not but i want to try. If not i post the answer, if yes the same. Simply.
I have a lot of problems with the battery, first of all the random drain and fall pecentage of battery are very annoying, and i know also that this phone is not made for longest phone calls (i use my phone 2 h 30 per day for phone calls only).
So if this can't help me, i'm staying with my problems.
