Battery charging - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have installed Remics-JB 3.0.1 from previous ICS rom, and all are perfect except the GPS issue. But only about battery i am curious why the full charging only up to 95%. And my charging indicator change to vertical white battery not the green glowing as usual when power off. Any body experience of the same happen on vibrant? Any clue for recovery?
Thanks.

The charging icon has been changed in JB. The battery not charging fully is a protection measure however it should go to 98-99%. To charge a battery to 100% and keep it on the charger is bad for the life/health of battery. You should be able to get it to 100% by unplugging the charger, and then plugging it back in. You might have to do it a couple times.
I approve this message.

Ok then, i'll try it. Thanks.

Do I need a new battery or are my settings messed up

I own a HTC wildfire. I have some issues with my battery and I can't pinpoint out the reason, these are the issues:
It rarely charges to 100% unless I let it charge for a while and then reboot the phone. But it'll drop really quick
If its charging while switched off and I take the charger off, the charging light will stay on indefinitely
The battery goes really quick, in 90 mins my battery charge is now 38%
When switched off and charging, it never gets the green fully charged light, but if I switch it on it'll say 100%

Have you tried calibrate it?

[Q] 2xBatteries, 100% 15mins, Weird!!

I just got a Samsung Battery Charger/Stand with Battery & have just charged the new battery with it, swapped it for the old one that had just run out when I noticed something weird...
The new battery was showing up as 100% for about 15 minutes. During which time I had the screen on for 3 minutes at full brightness.
What does that mean??
I've never seen 100% for any more than a second after I've unplugged the phone.
I'm assuming there's some difference between the batteries and the stats that are in the phone for the battery. I've used the Battery Calibration app before, when changing roms on my old phone, and that would sort out little anomalies. Do I need to use battery calibration every time I switch batteries?
Will this work itself out?
Will this swapping negatively affect my phone in anyway?
I thank you in advance for your help/suggestions
The phone has logic to not let the battery charge to 100% for too long. The charger does not. Battery calibration apps do nothing.

So... the charger over charged the battery?
Will that damage it?

I posted the same thing in the morning on another thread. Great mind think alike! Haha
Well to me it doesn't mean anything wrong really. Just that the phone doesn't fully charge the battery for safety or maybe heat reasons. Who knows? If samsung desktop charger is approved by samsung its good enough to me.

Guess your right.
So yours was saying 100% for unusually long as well?

It did on my new one for about 5min. Only but I had wifi on and screen and doing some work. It Wasatch new battery and didn't think much of it. I would say that even that was way more than the immediate 99% once off the charger on the phone

Just read your earlier post. Seems strange that the external charger charges more than the phone. I guess I can't complain about a few extra minutes!

Battery charging issue?

Hi,
I just noticed that after 12+h connected to charger my SGS3 is still at 87% of battery level. Does anyone faced that kind of issue?
- phone is new
- this is first full charge
- soft: JB (XEO)

hi adam!
that is odd.. i have not experienced that.... ever.
anyway, here are some of my theories:
considering you are using a wall socket...
a. your battery is defective
b. your charger is defective
c. just some other matters such as: black-out, some one unplugged the charger
i suggest you use your warranty now

Its ok now, i restarted the phone, charged it a bit turned off, and started charging again when turned on. its now green led and 100% looks like new battery stuck for a while when charging.

Also make sure to use the sammy charger and cable they are sensitive about not having Samsung branded things inserted into them
Thats a jelly bean issue which alot of people are facing...i charged it to 100% In like 8 hours and now on my second charge cycle and its charging perfectly like it used to on ICS roms
Ps: i am using HTC charger with orignal s3 cable

Battery issues

Could someone help me determine whether my battery is dead or my phone has issues. When I plug in my atrix, it boots up fine, but shows that is cannot detect my battery and remains at 4%. If I take out the USB plug, then it automatically turns off because it has no batter. It says "0s on battery" and has multicolored lines. This is on CM10. I'm confused as to whether simply buying a new battery will fix this issue or my charging wire is fried. Thanks!

You could try flashing a GB ROM. Try with CM7-based, if it keeps happening then try with something stock. You can also try my Battery Fix app, it won't fix the battery but it will show you "real" and "shown" percentage. If none of this helps any, then I guess it's a hardware failure of some sort. Have any friends with Atrixes to borrow the battery from, just to prove it is (or isn't) the battery?
I bought another battery, but it turns out its the phones fault. I can't charge my battery. Does anyone know of a good universal battery charger that is <$10?

Charging port issue, or battery?

So, I was on my phone non-stop last night and ran the battery down to 2%. I put it on my car mount charger (Sprint I-bolt), where I found it not to charge. Got home and no charge on all my chargers. Frustrated, I assumed my charge port broke. I went back out to my car and tried my best to get a good connection, and what do yah know, a blue light and orange light on my phone. So, I let it charge overnight in my car and brought it inside in the morning. I tried it on my charger, and it charges fine. So, I called my buddy whom is a Sprint tech., and he said sometimes the battery gets so low, they have to pull the battery and put it on a machine to boost the battery.
So, did I let my batt get too low, or do I have a bad charging port?

I've let my battery die down multiple times and I haven't had a problem charging yet. Just letting you know.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yeah, I could have sworn that I've done this before and had no issues getting it to charge. I don't know what to say, it's working flawless right now.
