Battery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
l got a new battery. The problem is that the phone suddenly turns off when it still shows 30-35% of the battery. Is there a way to improve it or to calibrate the battery?
thx

Search the forums - you'll find how to calibrate battery - but i don't think that is your problem . Btw are you on stock ?

would recommend an apk for that
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EwOSwiY29tLm5lbWEuYmF0dGVyeWNhbGlicmF0aW9uIl0
and if you have just flashed a ROM or so, jusst go in recovery mode, reset battery history and calibrate

Well firstly rule #1 of XDA is to use search, which you clearly haven't done or you have and haven't read topic properley. This topic has absolutely no reason to be created anymore, we already have plenty of them so users can simply read/reply to those. Also when creating topics use descriptive titles.
Where did you buy this battery (give link). Its likely that you have purchased a cheap/fake battery that is labeled as having one capacity but actually has a lower one or its just plain low quality/faulty.
Purchase genuine Samsung battery or a generic one from high quality manufacturer/seller.

sorry I didn't search, I didn't know what exactly is the problem so I didn't know what to search. i bought the phone on eBay. I didn't expect it to last long,just want the battery Meter to be accurate

I didn't ask where you bought the phone, I asked where you bought the battery. If you meant you bought battery of ebay then that is your problem, You have very likely purchased a cheap fake/faulty version so your battery meter is completely irrelevant and calibration wont make a difference (if battery is faulty/fake).

Nah i don't use JIT either. It is great for Quadrant, but not much else. The phone started to stutter (Ninjump and Drop game suffers from it). Restart happened only when the CPU load stays on 100% and very much activities on the background, so yeah it's unstable.
About the battery, maybe you need to try to:
1. Delete data/system/batterystats.bin
2. Fully charge the phone (recommended to do it while phone turned off)
3. Drain the battery again to the last charge available.
So hopefully it will be better next time. O yeah, if you're on .06 version, you can go to User Support in the Drawer, there is Battery Optimizer function inside there.

I have the same experience too with the supplied charger from the box. I don't know how to rectify this, but after i updated my phone to .06 i haven't experienced the issue so often (ocassionally still happened but can be operated easier than before) while charging.
Well maybe you can follow vlissine advice. but since i have not experienced it lately, i'm okay with it..

NFC. Uses and surgestions.??? and tech

OK so i have been thinking about that NFC.
Have eny one here eny experince wiht it ?
And what to use it for. what is the range ?
i guess im thinking more for home/work use.
i know that its a payment ioption some some places. (thought i havent seen eny or tryed eny)
Is it the NFC.incorpurated in the battery or does it make hte battery NFC some otherway ?
i ask since i bought a extra battery. that was 2300 mah. so maybe the NFC takes up the 200 mah.
that my new extra is bigger than the original ? in other words would a replacement battery battery work ?
I have read it can like turn on and off the wi-fi. witch would be nice when commming home.
and there was like a sticker on the door frame then turned it on when comming home and off when leaving.
but again what range ? and do you need to for that. ? 1x turning on. 1x turning off. ?
Does it work in a case. ? like i have the otterbox commuter. case. does it work through that ? or is it too thick ?
what about metal ? some cases have metal. does it still work ?
What other uses would be usefull ? and smart.
Like i owul dlike it to turn on sleep as android.to monitor my sleep.
could i like put in the charger cable and ley it on the NFC tag when ready and it would do it all itself ?
Is there eny differences in the NFC chips/tags/tiles,, ? quality/ range / storage ?
whares the best place you have found them good and cheap ? whats the best program ??
Alot of questions. but i havent found eny answers. elsewhere.
I realy hope theres some one out there who knows some of this.
Look in this forum, there are a lot of good threads about what nfc can be used for.

first of im not a hacker.
and yes i have read some of it. but not found answers to my questions. but maybe its a better place to post it.
maybe a modarator can put this post there is thats the normal place for NFC questions.
OP.. you've got a lot of questions.. a lot that are easily answered by searching. Use the links provided to do some reading to get a little more familiar with NFC. All of them have helpful info. You don't need to be a hacker.
Here's another thread you can use for reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705361
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
1. Yes, lots of us have experience with it.
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705361- for uses. The range is very short. Practically touching.
3. NFC is listed on the battery so maybe it is in the battery.
4. A replacement battery prob won't work.
5. You can make a toggle tag so yes, 1st swipe turns x on, 2nd swipe turns x off.
6. Yes works with a very slim/skinny/ barely there case.
7. Don't know of metal or otter box would work. OB case may be too thick.
8. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705361
9. Not sure.. try it and tell us.
10. Yes and yes.

[HELP:Xperia Sola] Battery Replacement [India]

Hello guys I require some suggestions here.
I own a Sola (out of warranty) purchased from the US, and my battery has gone really bad. It has swollen up and randomly shuts down the phone.
Basically have to replace it ASAP.
So I'm in India and its really difficult to find a spare out of warrenty. A rare store i found said it'l cost Rs 3000 (USD 56$). I tried searching online and only landed up with http://www.battery-shops.com/sony-ericsson/mt27i-xperia-sola
That gave me the model number and put up big questions in my mind
1. How come Sola has the same battery model as Neo, Ray [BA700] etc? Aren't inbuilt different?
2. Sola's normal capacity is 1500 Mah or 1320 Mah ? These have 1500 rating
Please reply.
This should be the right one
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bateria-...-1265-mA-mAh-ORIGINAL-1253-1155-/330789580887
If you want to check it, remove the black cover and there should be a model number or some identifier.

Thanks for all the suggestions people. I managed to find a service center in India where an acquaintance works. So they registered my ticket and have given a date of 6-12 days for the battery to be shipped and replaced at the center.
I would like to share some findings as well, while a Sony technician was feeding details for my bill to be generated I managed to take a peek into his system while giving away the battery's hardware no. As it turns out the original price of the battery is just around Rs 800 (Less than 15$) which is crazy considering Sony is not marketing at less than Rs 2000 for the in built batteries sold externally.
So after a bit of help I did manage to place the replacement order for Rs 1300 (23$) including service charges.Lets see how that goes.
Glad to read that. Just report how it get...

Charges were as specified and the new battery works great! :victory:
Guys, i thought Sola's battery is non replaceable, how did you change it?
^Its 'user' non replaceable. Actually you can, with proper tools but the battery would be difficult to find.
i need ur help bro

Then either the review is wrong or these apps can't tell the difference.
Mine brought brand new from B&H Photo also shows Li-Ion. In two different apps.
