am charging my s3 with tweaks of 1500ma .. it will damage my mobile or shorten my battery life or its normal nothing will happen ???
i have search but not able to get the answer so please share your experience
If you haven't chosen ignore unstable power then I think it would be okay.
But personally I think 1100 should be alright.
The chip in s3 interrupts high charging current and prevents it from frying if ignore unstable power is off.
Press thanx if i helped you in anyway...

what will happen if i use 2A charger?
will it charge faster?
will it damage my phone/battery?
or nothing will happen because my phone/battery will draw max 1A (or whatever amps it set to draw) from the charger?
It can damage your battery all tho it can work for a long time but at the end it can damage your battery

how long is that "long time" compare to normal degradation? if it can charge twice as fast, and the degradation is less than... say 30%, or until Garmin come up with Android version, then it's worth the charging time, that is, if it does charge twice as fast.
did you ever plug your phone to usb 1 and when your battery is at 10% get a pop up telling you the power is not enough? it seem the phone is smart enough to know the amp coming in is lower than what it using. if you never see it, you can duplicate the event by charging via usb hub, and connect the other port to whatever device you have. when your battery reach 10% you will get the message. so it might be possible the phone can regulate the amp it draw, maybe a bit higher if the charger can supply more than 1A.
Is it possible that if i use another device charger like blackberry or whatever compatible may give me a better battery life ? I saw on x8 forums a guy claimed using an htc charger and posted a screenshot where it showed up to 6 days of usage !

The charger is just a simple 5 volt power supply.
The charging circuits are in fact integrated into the device/phone itself.
You woulnd't be able to affect the battery capacity in any way by using a different charger.
I'd say that claim about improved battery life due to changing the charger is very unlikely. I'd call it a fake.
Perhaps improve charging time, but not improving battery capacity.

oooh thanks because the guy said the other charger was way more powerfull and it overcharged which caused an extreme change in his battery life but thanks anyways

Overcharging a lipo battery in a device such as the X10 (Lithium Polymer) would end up in either one of these scenarios:
Scenario 1: Phone and battery overheats, thermal protection kicks in and disables charging permanently.
Scenario 2: Phone and battery overheats, frying the internal charging circuits. Permanent damage.
Scenario 3: Phone and battery overheats, causing an explosion. Worst case: exploded battery catches fire.
Battery fires are tricky to put out and can cause major damage, not only to the device, but also to everything around it.
Don't worry tho.
As long as the charger, or whatever power supply you're using, gives 5 volt DC with correct polarisation, you'll be safe.
But as soon you fiddle around with different voltages, specially anything higher than 5 volts, it starts getting dangerous.
There is a common misunderstanding on how volts and currents works.
People tend to believe a charger with higher currents will do better. That is wrong.
It isn't the charger that "pushes" the current. It's the device that "draws" the current needed.
Example: If the device needs 700 miliamps, and the charger can give 5000 milliamps there will be 4300 milliamps left over.
In theory one could connect 7 devices to the same charger: 7x700=4900, and still have 100 milliamps left over.
What would happen if the device draws more than the charger can give? The device wouldn't charge at all, as the charger would "drop out" in one way or another by either shutting down, or lowering it's own voltage below "acceptable level"

Thanks for the very detailed explication ! I thanked you and i thank you lol

hi every body,
I just want to know if there is a program for my android based xperia play that can disable charging the battery during charging.... WHY? because I really using my phone for most of my activity such as downloading large size files like games and movies through wifi, so I dont want to shorten my battery life by leaving the phone charging but I want it to work directly from the charger.
and if this was'nt possible, do you think it is a good feature that can be included in future mobiles by putting small secondary battery for that purpose?
thank you and sorry for long "story" : )
sent from my xperia play.
It is not possible because it is not necessary. Lithium Ion batteries do not lose life by constantly charging. You can keep it on the charger 24/7 and your battery won't last any less than the next guy.
Thank you for your answer. I really read about this, but what about battery tempreture? is it increased during long time charging? because as I read, the over heating is the enemy of lithium battery.
what do you think?
Modern li-ion batteries actually have circuitry to prevent bad things happening during charging. Even if your phone indicates charging, the individual cells in the battery may or may not be charging to prevent overcharging.
Your battery should only heat up during the charging cycle when it is genuinely discharged.
"Your battery should only heat up during the charging cycle when it is genuinely discharged."[/QUOTE]
Yes, this is what I mean because at the time I charging my battery, I make a download by wifi, so it is disharging and this is the problem that let me to aske for disabling charging during charging. : )
Hello!
I am facing,lets say a issue, when charging my L920 on charger and phone is OFF. I put on charger after 2-3 minutes it starts by it self....
Does it to anyone else also? It is normal? I just want it to remain switched off while charging like this, but its not a big deal ofc.
Thanks
It is the normal behaviour of ur phone, so be cool with it. It is not an isssue.

But isnt it better for phone to charge up while its off? i mean it deffinately has less power consumtion in off state :] so it can charge better ..i guess
Seeing as the phone has a 2 Ah Battery and the charger is 1A, you can recharge your phone in about 2 hours (That's from 0 to 100 with a 100% efficiency, usualy efficiency is lower but you usualy don't let the phone drain to 0 ). The power it drains during that time will probably not affect the charging time to much, you can probably charge it in 2h 15m if it's turned on. In short: The time you would save by charging the device turned off is insignificant.

This question came up a lot when the WP7 came out (it's not a Nokia-specific issue at all).
The gist of the reasoning is that the phone's charging isn't a "dumb charger" that dumps a bunch of current into the battery and hopes it charges eventually (ideally without exploding). Instead, the phone has an actual charging circuit that tests the battery capacity & incoming current to determine how charged the battery is, and cuts off the current when it's at 100%.
This is actual "software" that runs on the phone's processor, and thus requires that the phone be on for it to work.
You'll get used to it.

Thats one serious answer, something i hoped for. Thx a lot for explanation.
Hi guys.I have a problem for a long time.When I plug the charger to phone charging very slowly.I tried many roms it not changed anything.I flashed boafella kernel and looked charge status.It showing charging with 100mA.I tried changing my charger first it worked but now slow again.My sister bought an S6 and S6 charger worse than normal charger.When Im using the boefella kernel (Im changing the charge rate to 1600ma and forcing it) I can charge in 3-4 hours.When Im not using its chargin in 22+ hours.What can I do?
Guess its time to get yourself a new battery.
New battery is not going to solve this issue as I too have the same problem & have an original new battery replacement.
I changed the charging port.I hope the problem will fix now.

See if it resolves, else other could be an issue with charging ic.
Ok Its still same.Its charging on 1100ma when the plugin charger but after 10 min its dropping to 100ma and not charging anymore.Am I need new battery or what?
I have the same problem.. Charging is so ****ed up with my Galaxy S3 . I use Boeffla Kernel and crank the Input Volt to 1400 Mah. I think our Beloved phone is getting Old.

Yeah :/.I will wait until 4.5G comes to Turkey.But why its not charging Im really wondering.
If your charging current drops & don't want any hardware fix then you can use Boeffla Kernel & switch on the Ignore Unstable Power & Ignore Safety Margin, and keep AC Charging Current at 1000mah or above.
