I got my gs3 yesterday, and it came with about 50% battery. I charged it overnight, and am using it now...do I need to run it down to 0% then charge all the way back up to 100? Some say I do, but I thought li-ion batteries didn't require that. Also, should I run a battery calibration?
Thanks.

No, you do not need to do anything to the battery. Charge it and use it normally.
Also, battery callibration does nothing that your phone does not already do on its own.

No you shouldnt let it go all the way down to 0%. Lithium batteries are designed to be permanently charged. if you discharge it completely you can damage your battery and/or the capacity goes down. So the best thing to do is charge it and when it is full just take it of the charger and dont leave it plugged in :good:
Hope this answers your question

But if I DO flash a rom... I'm supposed to calibrate.

No. Never.
Calibrating has about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.

No, calibrating is done for you every time your phone charges to 100%. I promise.
Then thanks then

I just uploaded a new rom and a kernel, and now I am having problems with my phone holding a charge. Anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do.

You know I never really got what the term "charge cycle " is, what os it? Is it when you recondition turn battery 3 times or what?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Go into recovery mode and in the menu there is an advanced go in then and wipe stats or you can get an app that does the same thing. Either do that. Then, drain the battery 'til dead (run a movie). Then fully charge That is a complete charge cycle. That will recondition it that is all you really need. Then also maybe get a task manager or something similar to be able and check and make sure there are not things running in the background check.
If the battery then is not holding a charge after this then..maybe the battery needs replacing
Charge cycle is from charged to dead to charged.

Hey thanks you all for responding to my thread. I have now just discovered that the phone will not even power up or hold a charge at all. I am thinking its the battery because the bionix rom and the kernal were still working before the phone shutdown. Any thoughts on this new development??
I have a weird issue with my battery ..my phone will charge up to 100% but as soon as I unplug it...it takes less than 10 minutes for it to go down to 85%. Then it seems that the battery starts working normally after that...my phone is not rooted.
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks in advance..

If you want help I suggest you provide more information. ie what rom you are running, how long you've had the phone, etc. If it is a brand new phone your battery may just need to be conditioned. Charge it to full, use it to empty, charge to full again and you should be good to go.

Its odd that a new stock phone doesn't run the battery well. in any case, the battery may not be calibrated yet. you can run this program. it will set the calibrate your battery for you. Let your phone drain down to under 15% before you recharge again. And let it fully recharge to 100%, then run it down thru the day to under 15%. After a few cycles like this, the battery will normalize. Then you will get a better idea of the battery life of your phone.

Hi.
I used Battery Calibration from google play exactly as instructed. Since then, my battery is charging REALLY slow, or not at all. When I use my fully charged galaxy after its charged overnight(connected to a charger) it shows 100%, and when I disconnect it, the battery drops... To lets say 92%. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Charge it till you're sure it's 100%, turn off your phone, take out the battery for a minute, put it back in and turn your phone back on.

It's not possible to 'calibrate' an SGS2 battery.
Do what Donnie suggested, and if that doesn't help, flash a kernel like Siyah which enables you to reset the fuel gauge from ExTweaks/similar app (you can do it from command line as well, if you search the Siyah discussion thread you'll probably find the exact commands).
If neither of those things work, your battery is on the way out. Buy a new one.
My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?

I had this for ages and it was draining my battery really bad and I discovered it started when I had my tablet plugged into an extended usb cable into my charger but it ran out of battery and wasn't the same since and just charging to 100% didn't get rid of it or rebooting or brushing the usb port (some suggestions I found on Google and Xda)
I searched google and xda for answers but didn't get any so what I did was charge my battery to 100% and then callibrate my battery and the wakelock disappeared
This happened with my note 10.1 but thought I'd post this here to help anyone who has this wakelock for the for the galaxy s3

Try to unplug the charger when phone is unlocked. Then reboot the phone. Now check in BetterBatteryStats for this wakelock.
I had this wakelock issue on my previous S2.

It happens when you use a faulty usb cable or extension cable and the phone or tablet doesn't charge but when you unplug the cable it still thinks it's charging but it's not, the vbus wakelock is a usb charging wakelock, rebooting does nothing I had the wakelock for two weeks until I got rid of it and when I searched on Google and xda nobody knew how to get rid of it

What you asked how do you calibrate i then gave you the correct answer .
The battery is calibrated by normal use please read the stickied FAQs and guides .
Do I understand correctly, the normal using of the battery performs its calibration? No action need not be applied?

But Samsungnooby wrote that he specially made calibration and vbus wake lock disappeared. Howl it can be done if it is done automatically every time you charge up to 100%?

It doesn't for a while but like for arnd 10 hours then no.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
A little over charging can even be beneficial according to some reports and data. However overcharging in general is highly discouraged and will damage the battery in the long run.(10 hours maybe too much in my opinion but a few hours wont hurt)
Might have mattered 10 years ago, but everything has circuits to stop overcharging now anyway so doesn't matter.

But someone told me that when the battery fully charged, it would stop charging automatically even i connect to the mobile to wall plug..
Is it true...? I mean does it has something automatically stop..

It will not stop it will just say no to any charge and when the battery reaches arnd 95% to 97%, it will start charging and to full again. Then the cycle repeats until u stop charging.
