Battery LED light - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on CM9 stable rom, Siyah Kernel 1.5.
There is a customisation in CM9 that allows us to enable/disable Battery lights, where we can change the LED colour for Low Batt, Charging and Fully Charged. I noticed that whenever my phone is charged to 90%, the LED turns to green, which is my fully charged colour. Is there anyway to ensure that the LED only turns green when the battery is really fully charged at 100%?
And also, the status of my phone says "Charged" once 100% is reached, however we all know that when it reaches 100%, the phone will still continue charging for a while before it is really fully charged. Is this a bug?

Led turning green at 90% is AOSP behavior. You cant do anything about it.

Screen turns on when charging after 100%

So yeah my x10 turns its screen on after it is done charging but still plugged in, and I can't find the setting to change that anywhere in the settings. I'm using 2.1, any help?
That's normal isn't it, to let you know the phones fully charged, then times out.
The problem is, it doesn't time out, not for 4 hours or so
Actually I have to agree...kind of. It's a SMARTphone... Not very smart to keep on the screen for that long as the screen drains the battery a lot... I can't confirm your statement though as I always charge at night and my screen is off when I wake up in the morning.

But the notification LED stays on after 100% is reached and so charging the battery at night is not an option anymore but the LED with drain the battery...

LED in contrary using very small amount of electricity
If the led drains my battery I will buy another phone, to my knowledge this led is using almost nothing from your battery. I always charge at night, and most of the time it is at 100% in the morning, sometimes 99%..

charge led not blinking when done

Hi,
Got my 101 yesterday and i charged it directly on the power adapter.
I charged it like 17hours but no blinking led?
It all runs well and i think it is charged enough, anybody got the same issue?

My 70 will only blink if it is turned on while charging, otherwise it won't.
What do you mean, while it is charging or when it is done charging and turned on?
If i charge the 70 when it is turned off, it imediately turns itself on and stays on. When it has fully chrarged the led will flash. However if i put it on charge and it turns itself on, if i then turn it off and leave it charging the led never flashes when it is charged.
Modern Li-Ion battery charge regimes are complex. They will charge until full then turn off until the charge falls below a certain level, then start charging again. So if you happen to look at your device at they wrong time it might not show fully charged because it is part way through the wait cycle. This is done to prolong battery life - it stops the battery from being cooked. You can bump charge a li-on battery to get more juice it it, but that shortens battery life considerably.
Also, it is possible that your battery meter need calibrating. Every 30 days or so let your device run right down before re-charging - this should re-calibrate the meter.
Thanks
I did discover that he only blink when turned on, just what you guys telling here.
Thanks for the reactions

Somewhat same issue, battery charge light NEVER blinked, had Archos 32 for 2 weeks on 2.0.71. The charge would never reach 100%, it would stay at 99% for hours, all day, just could not find that 100% mark and switch to status "charged". When I would wait at 99% for an hour or more, when unplugged, the meter would say 100% immediately after disconnecting it. Maybe it was cycling or doing something battery related, but I doubt it in light of upgrading to fw 2.1.2 and now it charges to 100% without an issue and the power led blinks. Looks like they fixed that bug, or at least it is fixed for me now.
Does anyone have trouble with the Archos 70 not charging at all? This has happened a few times now, I've put it on charge overnight and when I check in the morning the battery is at no charge.

[Answered] Charge indicator while phone is off?

Just recieved my phone. Instructions are pretty clear about ensuring that the battery is fully charged before turning on the phone. I don't see any instructions that tell me how I should know when it is fully charged. The notification light on the phone started off as an amber color that slowly turned on & off. It then quickly changed to a solid amber color. Does this mean it is fully charged, or will the light turn green or turn off when it is fully charged?
Thanks.
Green when fully charged.

LG G3 battery charger question: please help!

Hello there!
I have bought a black one from ebay, mine when i plug it in the voltage socket the led indicator goes red , orange , green, and then stays red. No matter how many hours i leave it plugged the led never goes green so i dont know if the battery is charged.
I mean the led indicator has the ability to turn green why would they not make it go green when the battery is charged?
I left the battery charging for 3 hours and it did not turn green but the batterry was fully charged .
My question is, is this normal or mine is faulty? Thanks so much for your time!

Redmi note 3 only blinking, when i am turning on and battery is discharged.

Hi. I have problem with redmi note 3. Notification LED only blinking, when i turning on with discharged battery, only for a while. What is it problem? Thanks for answers.
As you already explained, YOUR BATTERY IS DISCHARGED AND THE DEVICE WON'T BOOT WITH AN EMPTY BATTERY so I'm asking you kindly to leave it charge itself for a while and then try again smh

As I said. LED notification only blinking when I turning on my phone on discharged battery (on red color for. While). Normally notification led isn't working, even when I am testing in service app.

Your battery is in negative state means no power at all it happened with me also, to fix this just plug your device to charger for some time like 20-30 mins it will show no signs of charging but it will charge after 30 min try to switch on your device ?
If nothing work, the last option (before change battery) is try to charge with inverse polarity.
You need to charge the battery without phone with cutted cable. Use inverse polarity...
Red cable (positive) in negative place of battery
Black cable (negative) in positive place of battery.
This for 20 minutes approximate.
Now try to charge with normal polarity (without phone during 30 minutes).
Put your battery in your phone and charge normally.
I repeat, this is the last option before change the battery.
For good maintenance of battery not allow low than 15% or more than 90%

Try with other rom, the led controller for discharged phone is in kernel but in Android is in system I think.
I don't know if I'm right, sorry.
