Hi guys i just bought optimus one yesterday and then i charged it for the first time 4 hours until battery empty. My question is how long should i charge it after i charged it for 4 hours. i am correct the sale lady said 4 hours
what should i do next to extend my battery life plss give me some tips in charging thanks
LG recommends you do a full charge / full discharge cycle when you start using the phone. So if you fully charged the battery (and I think 4 hours was enough to accomplish that) now all you have to do is wait for the battery to empty and then fully charge it again. You don't have to keep it plugged in for 4 hours if the battery charges faster. When it's full, you can unplug it.
Then, the best practice for this battery is to charge it whenever possible, even if you still have enough to go throughout the day. Keeping the battery over 30-40% at all times gives you longer battery life, but once in a month you should perform again a full discharge / full charge cycle to re-caliber the battery power meter.
Please read this for a better understanding of how Li-Ion batteries work and should be taken care of.
thanks master but last night i decided to charged it at 1% then i slept and my phone was charging for almost 6 hours. it this ok? i only do full/discharge one time?
BTW it this normal that in status it said not charging instead of discharging?

Yes, it is OK, and yes - only one time. To be sure, read the phone's manual. It says there how to proceed - please ignore the sales lady. Then you may do it only once in a while, to keep the power meter accurate.
Regarding the full charging/discharging cycle: Li-Ion batteries don't need that. There's no "memory effect" plaguing them, as was the case of NiMH or NiCd batteries who lost capacity if charged less than 100% or before complete depletion. Or, simply put: charge this battery as often as you want, for as much or as less as you want.
Furthermore: Li-Ion batteries have a limited charge/discharge cycles count. Around 500, I think. If you charge the battery more often, before dropping below 30%, the charge doesn't count as a full charge. This gives you a longer lifespan for the battery before replacing it (but not a longer time before the next charge).

Yes, that is also normal. Mine says "Not charging" in status too.

Sorry, but I do not use this feature because I don't need it. I am only sending and receiving a few SMS messages a month.

First time charging
Hey,
I've just got my LG Optimus One delivered, I'm charging it and at the start I could see it was charging but after about 2 and a half hours it's been now, I can't. So do I just wait until it's fully charged and the icon will come up itself or do I press the unlock/power button to see how much it's charged or any signal it's charging?
Just asking because I don't want to turn it on when I'm not supposed to and mess the intial first time charge up.
Thanks.
is there any apps that actually drains batt then do a full charge?
I use battery doctor but sometimes it is hard to do a full charge because to do a full charge battery has to be less than 20%
but at the end of the day (before going to bed)
my battery still at 30% ...
lol nothing happens if u dnt hav full discharge. Its jst a recommendation for good battery life, jst buy a new battery if ur not satisfied with ur battery life rather than breaking ur head before putting it for charging...
charging rate
After some search I was unable to find an answer to the question:
What is the charging rate (in mAh) of LG P500 default adapter?
If I buy a replacement of original micro USB charger, what can I use?
500 mAh, 1000 mAh, some other?
Is there a difference for the battery?
Input= 0.2A
Output=0.7A

Hi, my gs2 take 3 hours to fully charge. Charging super slow. Is it normal?
3 hrs from close to empty to 100% ? Absolutely normal. Yes.

Some custom roms have fast charge enabled which reduces time, I thought this was strange at first too
Well yeah you can read around the forum and learn how to flash a rom/kernel. Siyah kernel charges pretty fast if i recall corecctly, look it up.
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure this is my case only or it applies to everyone
My touchpad won't come back to charge under CM9 if the tablet is dead.
I have come across some posts which saying you will need to boot into WobOS and get it partly charged and reboot it back to CM9.
Has it been fixed or there is a workaround
Thank you
I experienced this for the first time last week. I had toboot into webos like you said. I did quite a bit of searching for a fix but couldn't find anything.
Hopefully someone else can chime in with a link.
Rezound, rooted, loving it.
If your battery is completely dead, It takes a LONG time to charge it enough to boot. Just leave it alone overnight on the charger and try again.

hi what i have experienced was if the battery is dead, it will take about 15 to 20 minutes to charge until it come up again. however the battery level will remain at 0 percent no matter how long you charge it for

I have read people leaving it over night and still havent had enough charge to boot. I dont know, I have never let my battery drain all the way. I just read people have problems when it does.
so i bought yesterday my Xperia S, im pretty happy bla bla bla...
Now, my phone was branded with a carrier [Telcel] from México, so I found a tutorial to unbranding, flashing with flashtool a generic UK firmware....
First was charging normally, but after that the phone dont charge, i left it all the night and only gets to 50%, and now im putting bacj to the charger and its getting 1% - 4% and then go back to 1%, so anybody knows why happens this? how to solve it?
Thanks
Maybe your phone is a faulty one ? contact the carrier, they will most likely replace it with a new one
Does it charge offline??
Press volume up +power untill you feel 3 vibration that will reset and turn it off then try to charge again.
If you succeed to charge it you will have to flash another firmware.

Before flashing, do a factory reset. But I suggest you to contact the carrier
Well after all your recomendations, i do the power + volume combination technique, and a factory reset (now with Pc companion...), and the battery start to charge, now in 4 hours I get 80% LOL but i think that its discharging a little quick, in 4 hours unplugged battery is now 40% (and im not doing anything with the cellphone...) so tomorrow will go to the service and see what they can do... I hope they give me a new one ¬¬
Hey friend ok i register at xda forum only for your issue
Ok look. Before year i buy my X10i it was and it is "the perfect device for its age". I had issue with battery like you. I did research here and there and ... I solve it with doing the following.
Charge the device to its max (until stop charging). Once is charged don't unplug the charge and remove the battery. wait 10sec and put it again. You will see that device will start charging again. Do that like 3-4 times for next 2-4 days and you will see improvement (at me).
From beginning my device battery was fully discharged in 15hours standby now it keep 2~3days .
Wish that help you a bit.

Ohhh thanks for only register for that , well tonight i charge the device all noght again and it get 100% of the battery , the problem here is that in the Xperia S you cant remove the battery , right now im charging again and its a little annoying because the battery goes 1%... 2%..... 1%..... now its like 3% but it goes too slow......
I read that this device in half hour have to be charged almost to 100% isnt it???, because i think that 30 minutes i will get only 10% or something like that ¬¬, i was trying not to go to the technical service but i think that i will have to go

Yes i have another sony ericsson (mini pro sk17a) and its the same charger.... the same situation, even tieh another cable and in the laptop... the same
Soooooooooo continue with this sadness story... i go on tuesday afternoon to give the cellphone in the service center and they told me that they need to check it, so I say ok ok no problem, I go on Wednesday in the evening and they told me that the cellphone was without failure, that its charging and its ok, they told me that "upgrade" the system version (that its not true... its the same ¬¬) and well.... that be all, I made a question ... How many time take the phone to reach 80% (they are giving me with that charge) ???? and they told me: (with a face of surprise ) like 2 hours.... and I say: It's too much isn't it?, and the women said me that for this type of phones is normal..... so i want to make a question for you... how many time take your Xperia S to charge??? since 5~10% to 100%???? for me 2 hours to get 80% its a lot of time.....
Accordign to the respondes in here i will valorate to go again or leave it in that way....
BTW the cellphone its now charging but its too slowwww for me.... I plugged it at 12:30 am and still have 30% of battery, 40 minutes later its 47%....
How are you charging?
- Via USB or via power charger?
- Is Phone turned on?
- What temperature is the Phone? can be be hot? If it is hot the charging might be slower due to battery protection.
- Aren't there anything consuming battery? What do you see as main contributors in the Battery usage?
Well sorry for take a time to respond but i wanna try and wait a couple of weeks to come back XD

- I have try both of them, via USB take a loooot to charge, and if I start to play even it starts to discharge.... x_X via power charger if im playig with it charges too slow... but charges, it takes 2 - 3 hours to get 100%, if I turn off the screen charges faster, but if i received a message or something the screen turns on and besides the brightness is almost minimal it seems that take more time to charge.....
- Yes its turned on, when its off it seems to charge faster but... well i'm off like 2 hours for all my friends or family
- Its cold indeed, right now its charging and its cold, not heat at all
- The main contributors are:
the screen... obvisuly 56%
Android system 12%
cellphone in wait 12%
standby phone 6%
wifi 5%
facebook 3%
and mcafee 2%
as you can see nothing strange
I dont have brightness to 100% its like 30% when its on and only wifi turn on
So i want to ask again to you, how many time take your Xperia S to take 100% of charge??? its normal this behavior...?

For me, it takes two hours. That's without me using it during the charge period, wifi/data/bluetooth off.
One question: which charger do you have? EP800 or EP850/851?

2 hours well it seems to be "normal" then, i will have to turn all off and see how much time takes... for me its too much i get used to have my mini pro (sk17a) get charge in 1 hour 30 mins or even less with the screen turn on and wifi & bluetooth on too
I have EP800, seems that EP850 only its given in a few markets, México its not the case
Ok, go back to the service center... and buy the charger they used in your phone...

You said that service guys tested the phone and it is ok, and you tested the two chargers with another device, right?
If yes, change your charger cable with another one. Try to use brand new, they are not to expensive. And try to find some brand name cable like Samsung or Nokia.

I have 2 chargers, and 3 cables , one from my xperia mini, one that i bought from ebay (want to have one in the car for emergencies of a dead battery) and a new one that come with the S.... I'm using the one I bought and the xperia mini.... maybe thats the cause but i really doubt it...
Same issue on Xperia P
I have a similar issue on my new Xperia P since day 1. When I charge my phone using the charger, it charges upto 50% +/- 5%. It will not go beyond that even if the charger is connected for hours. If I charge it from a PC through USB it goes to 100% without any issues. Also, if I charge it through the charger with the phone turned OFF, it charges 100%. So this appears to be a software related issue and not something to do with the charger.
Any suggestions?
*My phone is currently on ICS. Though the issue existed even with GB.
Well, let it pass a week and lets see what happen, mine fixes by itself, now just take 1 hour and a half to charge it , but in the beginning was a pain in the ass

Hi dear v10 users. im here with a veird question again.
I was looking my FB group about v10 and some 1 Claims that: He was charging phone around 45 mins till some 1 use his charger to charge some other phone. since then his phone charging around 90 mins. . And yes i got same stuation. My phone charging around 90 mins and yes some 1 used my charger also. so that can be true ? 0o ?? if our original charger get used by some 1 else does it effect charging speed? btw it still says " fast charging " during charge.
Ty for answers.
Idk but my V10 doesn't charge NEARLY as fast with the stock charger as the Qualcomm Quick Charge compliant charger I have in my car. I've tested other phones on it too. Nexus 6 for example, it'll charge at a nice fast steady rate while I'm using the phone. If I perform the same scenario with the V10, it'll hardly move 1%. Real talk. Idk what the issue is.
Sent from my Gold and Black V10
I came from the nexus 6 myself. Not only was I disappointed when I noticed there appeared to be a noticeable difference in charging time but I didn't understand why. Here's what I know, the v10 utilizes quickcharge technology however it only activates when the main screen is off/dormant. Unlike the N6 that quickcharges regardless. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...?

Well i have given my charger many times to different people and did not see such behavior. About the screen on/off - i can't comment because when i charge the phone i usually don't use it anyway but it does not seem too logical. If you use the phone during charge it will have much higher consumption than when sitting on your desk so it is normal charge to take longer time this way.
