Hi, I began using a 5000 mah battery for Xperia UL from mpj, and I installed battery monitor to see battery life. The phone is saying charge your phone at 14% while battery monitor is at 55%.Will it keep going when the it hits 0%? How condition to 5000 mah? Thanks

Wipe your battery Stats and then it should work
Link to said battery?

I'm wondering if my battery is defective or battery monitor is reporting the wrong mah of the battery. Battery Monitor is reporting 1590mah.
Thanks in advance.

1620mAh is the rating printed on the back of your battery, 1590 is probably a calculated value from what the App is probing, which is why it's a bit off.
Calculated values from kernel data may be a little off from printed ratings. It's < 2% off.
Battery Monitor Widget has reported everything from 334mAh to 4200mAh. It is an estimation.
Thanks for the clarification. I was still not satisfied with the battery life, So I went into verizon last night. The guy there tested the battery and said it was bad and ordered me a new battery. I'm skeptical on that the battery is bad. He told me the voltage was measuring 4.2v. The battery was charged about 71% and that time. Does that indicate the battery is bad or can the battery voltage vary from the 3.7-3.8v recommended voltage at times?
The manual states: "The battery reaches it's maximum capacity after a few full charging and discharging cycles."
So, does this mean you should fully charge and then fully discharge the battery a few times to get maximum battery life?
If so, should you do this the first few times only or every time after that as well?
IOW, after the few initial times, would you get the best battery life fully discharging or topping off? Does it matter?
I think what it may mean is that the device needs full charging cycles to learn how to read the battery status accurately (so it doesn't say 2% when a fifth of the battery life remains). Other than that, lithium ion batteries are usually happy with top-up charges and only need to be deep-cycled occasionally to keep the OS' battery meter in sync.
OK, thanks. I didn't even know it used a Lithium-Ion battery. Based on that info. I did a quick search and found this: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Maximum_Battery_Life
Interesting.

Agreed, that is an intelligent assessment.

I have a 3500 mAH battery that refuses to calibrate.... Anyways when I use Battery Calibrate, its says my current mV is 3643, I know that isn't full, but my battery percent says 23% and that is much to low for 3643mV! My co-worker said to divide 3643 by 4200 (Full charge IIRC) and that is my battery percent. I think there has to be a better way...
Bump up. Any help?

Hi, I was asking myself if it was possible to copy batterystats.bin from a calibrated x10i to have our own x10i calibrated.
I explain : I see that file like a file with values that have the percentage of the battery with the duration and stuff like that, so copying it to have the right values.
Can work or not ? influenced by kernel or rom ? What do you think ?
Li-Ion batteries just need a good charge for approx 8-12hrs when new and first installed and having this process repeated for at least 4-5 charges.
The phone doesn't allow the battery to over change and cuts out and then starts changing again once the charge drops to a chargeable threshold.
This allows the battery to achieve it's maximum charge.
Li-Ion batteries should never be drained or allowed to run flat and should be charged regularly.
If you completely discharge a lithium-ion battery, it is ruined.
Li-Ion battery life is between 2-3 years.
I would let the battery sort itself out as all the battery status is based on the battery itself.
If the battery is old and on it's last legs, it'll have less charge than a newer battery.
P.S. If you plan to keep and use the XPERIA X10i for some time, it's well worth buying a Mugen Power 1800mAh battery.

how does that answer to my question ? Do they sell new x10i ? meh
Hello this is my first xperia smartphone. I'm impressed about the battery of z2 but I have question about battery life, I have auto brightness auto, Sleep 30 seconds, mobile data on, nfc off, Wifi Always on, stamina mode off. I looked into may battery usage and the screen usage is using 62 percent? When you charge your z2 phone is it necessary to make the battery turn to 0 percent before charging? Mine was I discharged it to 0 before charging it but when I read about the battery Li-Ion that it doesn't need to be discharged to 0 is this ture? .How to make the battery life of z2 last longer but not damaging the battery itself? Any tips? Thank you!
You shouldn't discharge your battery to 0%, never! Personally i never discharge my phone under 10%, when it is 14-15% i plug in the chager.
It's bad for your battery life to discharge it to 0%.

So I think I damaged the battery of my phone. After I read about that Li-Ion battery I never discharged my phone to 0. I have bad experience about my HTC One M7 I always discharged it to 0 and now when I fully charged the htc one m7 to 100 percent it will drastically go down to 92 percent after 5 mins.
Might be, so never discharge your Z2 to 0%. 10% should be the lowest.

Thanks buddy! But the screen usage of the z2 is eating the battery of 62 percent :crying:
I don't think so you damaged battery discharging battery to 0% once, moreover it was "user 0%", battery had some energy inside. So keep in mind that optimal for battery is work between 40 and 80% but of course it is not very convenient.

thanks. I'm very worried about battery because this phone is very expensive I don't want any damaged on my phone.
Have a look at this website, it has all you need to know

Wait.. obviously "Screen" usage takes up the most percentage on a phone because you're using it? Judge the battery overall when you reach from 100% to 15% or so.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea regarding the battery usage, you should take your time to read and understand it. :good:
60% used by screen is good, that means there aren't any apps in the background eating your battery

It is normal. The screen takes a lot of the battery. My SOT is between 60-70% battery drained.
