Full charge notification? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the s3 play a sound when its fully charged? I charge my phone overnight and my last phone (samsung fascinate) was fully charged it played a notification sound that would wake me up every time.

Good that little thing might have been a deal breaker for me. Nothing worse then being woken up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep.

Screen stays on after fully charged

Hi all,
Can't find a solution to this - the screen switches on after the phone is charged to 100% and stays on. Happens overnight while it charges when im asleep. Don't like the idea of the screen staying on for so long.
No one?

Those are very short wakelocks for a 12 hour period and nothing to worry about. Each one shows up as 0%. Your phone will never hit 100% deep sleep.
You should run CPU Spy and see how much time your phone is in deep sleep mode. If you're over 90% then you're doing good. Better Battery Stats will give you more info about wakelocks if you're interested, but it looks like you're fine.
Im using betterbatterystats to track Wake ups. In my case Google places was a problem.

I think my battery drains too quickly is this right?

Hey all.
In my s3 I played a game for 10 mins and for rest of time I was installing apps and tapatalking is my battery draining too quick?
After full charge in 1hr 20,% lost

Hey
If you've lost 20% with your screen on constantly for an hour and a half and played a battery hungry game for 10 mins then I'd say you're getting average battery performance.
That side, you can hardly give it definitive answer Based on the info you've given. My advice is to grab Better Battery Stats from Play Store and run your phone normally for a couple of days.
The big problem with this phone is that it's impossible to put down though

ur mobile coverage is rather bad...
could be d cause.
looks normal to me for continue use.. screen, wifi, etc on almost the entire hour and a half. once the device goes idle/sleep the "awake" bar should not be blue, otherwise if it stays blue that means a app or something is keeping it awake.
I had avast anti virus and it was keeping my phone awake.. So I uninstalled that

Better Battery Stats for the apps and wake_locks and cpu spy for cpu sleeptime mate
You can also disable fast dormancy.

That seems normal to me. I bought a second Samsung battery. Now, I'll never be afraid of running out of juice! It's worth it compared to getting a 4,000mAH battery that makes your slim samsung turn into an obese samsung. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Won't charge past 80%

Hi
This is my problem with my Xperia s:
For half a year I've used stock rom (rooted) and not having a single problem regarding my battery. Then a few weeks ago I felt like trying out some custom roms, so I flashed SSpeedKernel and KA18 (rom). After the flashing my battery refuses to charge above 80% (Well twice it has actually charged to 100% but why and how to replicate it I do not know). Now my first thought was the battery stats that needed to be wiped in but alas no help. Then I reflashed the rom, upgraded to KA19, changed kernel to advancedstock and finally changed to [email protected] rom.
I've preformed clean installs no less than ten times and wiped stats ever more - still the battery won't charge above 80% - what to do?
When I look at the voltage the battery is at 4,3 volt when it's 80% charged and as far as i can see on the battery graph it should be 4,7 volt at 100%
I really hope someone can point me in the correct direction as I've yet to find a solution

I had that problem too! I thought something keep draining the battery prevent it from charging! So i check the battery usage! What i found there is that the device was in deep sleep since the last screen off! I try to use it a bit and charge a gain and it won't just pass the 83% even thought the phone is in deep sleep and cpu load is low. I tried a few more reboot then once of them make my battery percentage to 100%! That means battery stat doesn't work properly! I don't know how this happen! I was on KA rom too!!

Well for some reason I'm glad I'm not the only one facing this problem coming from the KA rom. Did your battery stay correctly calibrated after the reboot or did it go back to the 83% next time you charged it?

try to flash stock, with wipe
Hi.... Solution!
Charge device... Once it's stuck at 80...Don't disconnect the device...
Hold volume up rocker + power button to hard reset(3 vibes followed by 1 vibe)... Let it charge it in that condition... It'll reach 100.

And this will wipe the entire phone (minus sd card) or just the battery stats?
Thanks for the tip

Nothing gets wiped my friend... I guess you are skeptical about 'hard reset"...
It's nothing just a mechanism where it's equivalent to removing the battery and inserting it... Nothing is wiped... Since its equivalent to removing the battery... The battery stats resets.
Don't say thanks "Click the button"!

I use the default charger that came with the phone, now that you mention it I don't think I have the issue with my HTC car charger :-o

Yes... You may try changing the charger. Remember wall adapter is less effective than the usb charger that came with xs

Do you try a magnetic charger? Does the PC can read your phone via USB cable?
Generally, the reasons why the phone stopped charging are that:
There is a bug when you update app or boot.
The battery is broken.
The usb charging port or cable is broken.
The charging ic on the motherboard is broken.
The motherboard has something wrong.
So can you tell more details about your phone.
I got a replacement for the phone at "telia". New Z2 yay.!
