and try to plug it into AC don't use the laptop always as a charge source or u'll loose day after day ur battery life

What`s wrong with charging phone by USB cable from a desktop or laptop?

Really! The USB charging reduce the life of the battery ?!

Well explained, nice work, man
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

is it specific to Sony? …..... because I was using iphone's models for many years, and I never unplug it from the lap-top during the day when i'm in the office, and I never get a battery issue!?

I don't think Charing via pc will affect the battery life.
Only stressing the phone while charging will kill the battery.

I can't see how charging via usb can do anything to the battery? The standard charger is only a transformer so its at usb voltage for charging

thank you guys for your comments;
but anyone have an evidence for that? I mean: any one get a issue after charging its phone via USB all the day ? or it's just theories? ..... I'm doing that for many years, and I never get an issue! or maybe because I'm changing my phone every one year .. more-or-less! so if the impact of the charging can comes after 5 or 10 years, I don't mind! anyway the mobile is obsolete after so many years ...

if u read on ur charger (AC) : 5.0VDC , 850mA
while USB plug is 5V 500mA "in general"
this means AC will charge faster and USB will take longer time which may affect battery stats set by android OS..
i passed through personal experience with my arc S

thanks amfirbek92; ... so the problem is maybe due to Andoirdoid! because I started using android only two months ego! ....

I read in the XDA forum, (I'm not able to find the thread!) that android stop charging when the battery is at 100% and start recharging when it became at 90% again and again if the mobile is still plugged to the charger! is it the case ?
if yes, so if I'll keep my mobile plugged to the AC charger all the day, this will not afect the battery ! right ? ...

Something like rom manager, you need root, I'm sure has an option for resetting the battery stored stats etc, so i think it effectively has to learn again. Might be that simple?

that's right..if u use ur cell while it's 100% charged and still plugged into AC u'll see battery will decrease to 90% then restart to charge..anw cleaning battery stats u can find it by flashing a cwm recovery this is useful :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596285 here u must reflash back the kernel.sin (be careful to follow instructions)
or an easier way is to flash this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280&highlight=cwm it's an advanced kernel stock based and has DL recovery (i didn't try it yet )

thanks Ben, .... I've an old x10 pro, rooted that I'm using as a “guinea-pig” to learn more about android rooting, I'll test if ROM manager can offer this option.

thanks amfirbek92 .... for the moment, I'm not ready to root or flash my xperia S, I'm still a noob in android :silly: .... I don't want to break it !!

[Q] Xperia X10 charging problem

Hello everybody,
I have a big-small problem with my X10. My phone is charging but very hard. It take about 6 hours till battery is full. I think it is a hardware problem. I hope not..
Any suggestion is wellcome. I wasn't to any GSM Service with him...so i don't know nothing about that.
P.S
I have that charging problem from the begining, not for soon.
Hi, you could try the Battery Calibration method and see if it helps.
Good luck!

I've tryed almost all ROM's from XDA ( except MIUI cause i don't like iOS interface ). Custom and stock ROM's...
That's why i think it is a hardware problem
That's really weird... maybe you should check the battery itself. You can do a physical recalibrate by wrapping the battery in newspaper and store it in the fridge. I'm not joking, it really refreshes the battery. Anyway it depends on you

Have you tried with a different charger? I was facing the same problem, exchanged chargers with my sister and now instead of 6 hours to almost full charge it takes only 1

Nothing to worry. Use ac charger. It uses 3.12v on average but usb uses 3.72v onn average.
Insert the charger and open up your back cover. Put it near an air conditioner or over an icepack. Don't let the temperature drop below 31degree Celsius, else it will moisten the internal parts. It will charge your phone within 2hours!
Try this trick. If it works, i will tell you the logic behind this stuff

Red light (of death)

Hi Guys,
My xperia x10 doesn't boot anymore. It shows a red light when pushing te power button. Does it mean my device is broke or can I do something about it?
Thnx in advance.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Don't Worry
Red light means you need to charge it.The battery is fully discharged.
Plug it in and leave it for a few hours.
And then tell me the results.
If it works them press the THANKS button
1. Remove the battery.
2. Plug in the charger.
3. Put the battery in.
4. You will se the phone booting.
5. Leave it on charge.
Thnx for thinking with me guys, but I've been there, done that, but it doesn't help unfortunately.
Is there another way for me to try?
Ummm I don't knoe .if its completley dead or not:/ try using flashyool and flashing a 2.3.3 generic or 2.1:/

You guys need to charge the phone, charge with external charger, other X10 or try leaving it plugged in over night... one of those should bring you back to life... check putting the battery in some other phone and charging it, if it doesn't then battery is gone...

[Q] NEO V battery health

Hi,
i want to know what would happens to my Neo v battery health if i put it in charge for a night?
does it get weak?
what about tethering?
what would happen to my battery if i connect my Neo v to laptop for 24 hours ?
my friend says that when mobile charging completes, the mobile switch to power and it's not using battery any more.
is it correct ?
thanks
If you keep your phone charging for that long,I bet your battery won't give you a good company for long!
Also it would get heated,and it can blast as it gets puffed up!
And as for the last question,
If you meant mobile switches to power saving mode,
Then I think yes... Once charging gets completed,it won't keep on charging!

all i need to know is how long time i could use my battery without any damage if i connect it to Laptop via USB cable? (for example using tethering)
isn't it harmful for battery health to connect my phone to a power supply for a long time?
i forgot to ask this , when I'm using my phone with data usage enabled, the back of my mobile get's warm.
is it normal ?
thanks
Yup it's normal as our phone gets a bit heated on continuous usage!
And keep charging only when it drops below 30 or say 15 percent!
A good charge can take upto 3 to 4 hours not more I feel!
(well,I doubt even that much is needed or not)
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
thanks
but my main question is unanswered.
i want to know
if i connect my mobile to charger, and it completes charging and shows "Charged." message, is it harmful for battery health to remain charger connected to mobile or not?
sometimes if forget to remove the charger, and during nights I'm slept and can't remove the charger.
is it harmful if charger remains connected?
It would affect but not much.... But avoid doing that on a daily
Basis!

I googled a little around and I found this.
If your battery is based on an actual accu generation than it cuts off the charging. If the battery reaches 100 percent than it cuts off the charging process.
As long as it is than connected to power there will be no new charging.
But if you put out the charger and put it in again than charging will start again.

it should be something like this that stops charging when it charged.
my laptop is also the same as this and my battery health is almost 100% after several years.
i just wanted to make sure of that my NEO V is the same.
Charging stops when battery lever reaches 100%, but as soon as it drops ~98% it starts with charging again.
Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw it's creating battery_history.txt log file. Check it after you charge your phone for a night.
p.s. I think you need to put widget on your desktop in order for it to save log. Not sure, haven't use it for some time..
my neo v is having weird problem from 3 days.. from 25 % battery is falling down to 1 % and switching off in an instant..i tried wiping battery stats..but invain..anyone having this issue??
How old is your phone?? May b its time to say bye bye to your present battery and get a new one..
Get it out n see if its in proper shape.. did you make any changes in the battery calibration?? Or uv or somthing?? Such changes if not done properly might cause such problems.. experienced it myslef.. so if your are using any battery stats or battery modification app, try removing it and see.. or If the battery is not fit to use then clearing battery stats wont help..
I hope this meets your need..

Read what you(your friend) said in first post, and then check that log if it's true that it doesn't charge once its charged or it does charge every once in a while.

[Q] Xperia P brick

Tonight my Xperia P has died. Without any warning, while being charged. I woke up to see it dead and refusing to turn on.
The only sign of life is the battery indicator going red when I plug the charger. Resetting with power+up doesn't work.
I've tried flashing it, and once even succeeded connecting it in flashmode, but that was accidental and I can't reproduce it.
Is there a way to flash such a brick? Any way to put it into flash mode?
I somehow managed to flash it with stock firmware. Didn't help though.
That was usually cause by bad charger or usb connection that depleting your battery. Charging it on working charger and cable for about 30 minutes while the red led appear might help your battery revive. (Based on personal experience though)

If you're using an app that uses the GPS and you have your screen on bright, you may be using more than the USB port you are plugged into can handle. A PC/Laptop port probably won't put out enough power. You'll want to use a charging block plugged into the wall directly. Look for something that is at least 1A (amp) up to 2.1A for the really power hungry phones and most tablets.
Sir i use 1Amp samsung OEM charger...even i changed also nd no app uses my GPs or other things......Sir charging is really slow....nd if i use phone while charging then it discharges slowly ....even i use an app like opera mini
