Note that the last 2 peaks are normal (phone charging)

Damaged battery or corrupted batterystats? Try to reset batterystats first.

I'll try with a friend's battery for a day.. I'll post any results when I test that!
Maybe somebody find this info useful

Did you try it on another ROM?

It should be damaged battery then. If new ROM and battery calibration do not work... Maybe try your battery in friend's device. And then you will see where is the problem.

Looks like the battery has degrade, as it has been used for 1.5 years old. You may try to do this:
1. Charge to 100%
2. Reboot
3. See if the charge is still 100% or not
If the charge is not 100%, chance is, the battery meter has run out

Yup, when the phone is plugged. That way, if your phone plugged at 100% and then rebooted, there is no way the charge goes down if the battery is all good

Battery meter should decrease a bit around 2 - 6% after reboot because of boot up time will still consume battery a little even charger is connected all the time. That is normal. But if there is too much drop after reboot then it might be the battery had been degrade too much.

Rebooted when battery was 100% and when android initialized, it was 98%..
BTW, phone shuts down when battery is around 5%

That seems normal for me. I am using very damaged battery (inflated and punctured pinhole) in my XP a while now and it would got around 10-15% of remaining battery before its shut down. I've test my battery with multimeter and my battery only had around 3.2volt remain. Seems like android will power off after certain voltage threshold is reached (in my case 3.2v i assume?). So that definitely means the battery damaged.

Try your battery on a different phone and if you can't then try flashing different ROM and see how battery behaves? Still same then probable you may have to change the battery...

You battery may need calibrated
Power off phone
Plug into wall charger
Leave phone off until you reach 100% charge
Boot phone to xRecovery and wipe battery stats
Pull battery out for 10 seconds
Put battery back
Charge again to 100%
Wipe battery stats again
Boot phone up and charge once more to 100%
Then leave charging for 30 more minutes
Unplug charger
Goto settings / about / status
See if it says 100%
Leave phone for 5 minutes
Check battery stats again
Should show 100% still
Please note mobile data connection eats battery if you have syncs set too often

It seems I got the same problem.
On a full standby (wifi, data, gps, bt screen, etc all off) it usually wasted 1% per hour, I mean, if I went to sleep for 8 hours after a full charge, it should had wasted only about 8-10& of my battery, getting me about 3 days (72h) of battery.
Now, again on full standby after 1h30m I have only ~88% of battery. With data on and using it, I have nearly 1h15min of full charge... Its nothing...
Already tried 2 diferent kernels, Cosmic but non OC, and v1113 dooms, both go well on deep sleep, just cant get whats going on since it was from nothing. On 4 distinc roms (FeraLab v20, Dolphin v2.2.8, Cosmic v06 and old TEAMs) it happens.
The time it took me to write this, it waster 7%..
Any ideas?

What are you trying to say? You lost 12% of battery with 90 mins and you want to know why? What kernel you r on right now and also what ROM are you using?

No, the most important thing is the drain on deep sleep: from my last post till now (about 9h on deep sleep) it wasted 50% of battery.

i think the problem is your battery. the battery seems to be deteriorated, so it begins to drain so fast. buy a new one or try mugen battery. please press thanks button if i helped you man.
I've always used FeraLab on Doom's even when ferakernel didn't exists and never had problems.
The weird thing is that sometimes it drains for example till 48%, then after 2h it goes to 51%, and after that it behaves normal (10h = 10%), then the drain begins

Battery problem?

Has anyone came across where the phone automatically shuts down even though says battery is at 60% and above even at 85% just force closes the phone system even had it where the battery light [red] flashes and have to leave phone off for a minute then it will turn on ok but them once it does boot after 1 min shuts down again
Tried battery calibration to no effect could it be the battery itself dying or could it be a fault with a kernel even though I've tried roughly 5-6 kernels and it does it all the same and on 5-6 different roms if anyone has any suggestion please don't hesitate I'm getting abit fed up of it doing it
Sent from my Xperia X10 using xda premium
hey dunc4n88, which ROM are u using right now?
If it's possible provide the link of it, so we can check if there any kernel update or error reported because of the same as you
I'm on ravij jb beats audio light rom with doomkernel v6 medium oc but tried loads of different kernels and roms and all of them the same I'm I've also noticed aswell I can't update busybox it'll update then once phone reboots it reverts back to old one

Ok I can tell you a cheeky trick to keep you going til new battery arrives
Place battery flat on a surface
Using a hammer GENTLY TAP AWAY until it's almost back in shape I STRESS GENTLY. Don't pop the cells
This worked for me while i waited for a new battery
That should push the cells back together
When u get new battery charge for no more than 2-3 hours at a time
Charging for a long time causes battery to Bleb from what I've heared

My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?

Try to 'callibrate' your battery, and see if gives you the same results or if it's fixed: Charge your battery to 100% - turn off your phone - remove your battery for about a minute - replace your battery - turn on your phone.

I think that it may be caused by the internal GT-I9100 Battery Fuel Gauge chip, you should ask a service center, often problems like this are because of internal battery chip failing at equilibrating charges between battery cells.
You should also try to reflash a stock samsung rom (like XXLSJ) using odin, so if there's any software problem it should solve it

[Q] NEO V battery health

Hi,
i want to know what would happens to my Neo v battery health if i put it in charge for a night?
does it get weak?
what about tethering?
what would happen to my battery if i connect my Neo v to laptop for 24 hours ?
my friend says that when mobile charging completes, the mobile switch to power and it's not using battery any more.
is it correct ?
thanks
If you keep your phone charging for that long,I bet your battery won't give you a good company for long!
Also it would get heated,and it can blast as it gets puffed up!
And as for the last question,
If you meant mobile switches to power saving mode,
Then I think yes... Once charging gets completed,it won't keep on charging!

all i need to know is how long time i could use my battery without any damage if i connect it to Laptop via USB cable? (for example using tethering)
isn't it harmful for battery health to connect my phone to a power supply for a long time?
i forgot to ask this , when I'm using my phone with data usage enabled, the back of my mobile get's warm.
is it normal ?
thanks
Yup it's normal as our phone gets a bit heated on continuous usage!
And keep charging only when it drops below 30 or say 15 percent!
A good charge can take upto 3 to 4 hours not more I feel!
(well,I doubt even that much is needed or not)
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
thanks
but my main question is unanswered.
i want to know
if i connect my mobile to charger, and it completes charging and shows "Charged." message, is it harmful for battery health to remain charger connected to mobile or not?
sometimes if forget to remove the charger, and during nights I'm slept and can't remove the charger.
is it harmful if charger remains connected?
It would affect but not much.... But avoid doing that on a daily
Basis!

I googled a little around and I found this.
If your battery is based on an actual accu generation than it cuts off the charging. If the battery reaches 100 percent than it cuts off the charging process.
As long as it is than connected to power there will be no new charging.
But if you put out the charger and put it in again than charging will start again.

it should be something like this that stops charging when it charged.
my laptop is also the same as this and my battery health is almost 100% after several years.
i just wanted to make sure of that my NEO V is the same.
Charging stops when battery lever reaches 100%, but as soon as it drops ~98% it starts with charging again.
Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw it's creating battery_history.txt log file. Check it after you charge your phone for a night.
p.s. I think you need to put widget on your desktop in order for it to save log. Not sure, haven't use it for some time..
my neo v is having weird problem from 3 days.. from 25 % battery is falling down to 1 % and switching off in an instant..i tried wiping battery stats..but invain..anyone having this issue??
How old is your phone?? May b its time to say bye bye to your present battery and get a new one..
Get it out n see if its in proper shape.. did you make any changes in the battery calibration?? Or uv or somthing?? Such changes if not done properly might cause such problems.. experienced it myslef.. so if your are using any battery stats or battery modification app, try removing it and see.. or If the battery is not fit to use then clearing battery stats wont help..

Some parts of it need root access. But it should still give you the wake locks. Just let it run in the background and check it after a min of 5hrs
Is that good for you? That's all it matters.
It looks alright to me.
Can it be improved? Of course.
