It doesn't for a while but like for arnd 10 hours then no.

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.

SDS originally showed as failing to boot after charging overnight .

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.

Battery never 100%

So as soon as I take out the charger the battery goes to 99%. Why is this..

Look, it just does it for everyone. Its not an issue.
Apparently the latest release from samsung doesn't do this any more.
But essentially, as soon as one minisculer, tiny, mini, minute little bit of power is used, like 1 millionth of a milisecond of an LED light or screen on or data connection etc, its no longer truly 100%.
So if its 99.9999999999999999999999999999% battery, it shows as 99%.
I guess Samsung changed it to change to 99% later in the newest release because everyone whines about it. About 5 threads a week here.

the new uk unbranded firmware charges to 100% and stays on 100% when i take it of charge
Regardless of what the indicator displays, ion lithium batteries never charge 100%.. once it reaches 100% it discharges to avoid over charging..
It's not an issue..

[Q] battery cycling?

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.

Battery usage shoeing false reading

Apparently my phone has been off charge for 3H36M when infact it has been 6H30 mins..
I am using CM9. Anyone else coming across this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Calibrate your battery....cwm, wipe battery stats, reboot, drain battery to the point where your phone won't turn on, charge whilst phone is off, when your phone says its fully charged, remove charger and plug back in to make sure, power on, drain battery again and repeat the process from charging with the device off.
Do that around 4 times. And then maintain your battery by not charging everyday, run your battery completely dead around twice a week. Turn wifi/data off when not using it, auto brightness, bluetooth off, minimize the use of widgets and lwp
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for being so informative. I will do all of that. Is there a chance my phone will screw it self by re calibrating via cmw?
Also I trust your word about draining the battery twice a week, but I'm also curious as to why I've read in some places that you shouldn't let your batt drop below 10%. Is there a specific reason or is it just a false piece of information ?

Reset the stats does no harm . Drain twice a week is pure bull****.

Battery is not charging correctly

For a while my phone is taking a lot much time to charge than it usually take earlier.
So today i installed this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
And after i connect my mobile to charger this app usually shows that my phone is having max current:400/500 which shud be 999 instead. (Read app description)
After i disconnect charger and connect it back 3-4 times i get a rating of 700 or sometimes even 900(max) but after letting the mobile charge for a while this automatically decreases to 300-400.
And also from the time i bought the phone(4 months back) charger usually gets somewhat hot(not warm) but i ignored that issue.
So what do u think the fault is in-charger/phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Do not use such an application, let the phone discharge to zero to turn off and recharge to full.
mostly help.Please use the phone menu
charging problems are mainly related to cable!
sent from my GT-I9300 running Mac OS
The app has 10000+ downloads and my friend suggested so i thought of giving it a try
After the battery fully discharges and phone turn off shud i turn on the phone after connecting to charger or shud i let be off till it charges completely?

Yea my friend had the same problem and he installed this app as well and was getting 400 too
But then he changed his cable with blackberry cable and now he's getting 900 rating

No need to use this.
just delete the cache occasionally a classic way to charge your phone battery runs down.
It does not have to be zero!!
yeah me too using BB cable. better than many original samsung cables.

Sorry for being noobish but how to delete cache?
By going to application manager> running>show cached processes and then deleting of every program one by one?

If you do calibrate batteries and erase cache, the system will be as before.
Have tried both i.e. cleared cache and charged completely frm 2%
But it almost took 6-7 hours
So is the problem in cable?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Cable
Charger
Usb Port
Battery are all possible causes of very slow charge .

yes it's the cable. many samsung customers including me faced the same problem. just change the cable.

Weird battery issue!

Hey
I have aproblem that is so strange!
For example when I turn off my mobile it restarts!
Even if I pull out the battery and put it in it just power on automatically! !
Sometimes if the phone successfully was turent off, when I press any button it indicates that it is charging!
And now the battery is full even though am using it for around 2hrs
So my question is: is it a phone hardware or battery issue?

mine was like that after moisture damage and then a wrong charger it gets ok after time, it started charging the battery to 5.00v instead of 4.2 n all, stop charging that battery at 95% for like 10 charges and it will come back to normal in no time

as i said it just went away after a while i think the problem is being caused by overcharge, so when u keep charging it to 95% the voltages come back to normal.
In other words charge it till 95% for like 10 charges and it will be fixed.
Well gonna try and reply back thanks
