[Q] Battery died? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When my phone reaches 85-80% battery my screen starts to flicker and my phone turns off. When turning on i only have 1% battery left.
Battery is only 1 year old. Do i need to buy a new one?
Or can I fix it?

You can calibrate the battery like this before you decide to buy a new one
Fully charge the battery with the phone on and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off.
When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.
Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.
Once loaded to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not load until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).

charge led not blinking when done

Hi,
Got my 101 yesterday and i charged it directly on the power adapter.
I charged it like 17hours but no blinking led?
It all runs well and i think it is charged enough, anybody got the same issue?

My 70 will only blink if it is turned on while charging, otherwise it won't.
What do you mean, while it is charging or when it is done charging and turned on?
If i charge the 70 when it is turned off, it imediately turns itself on and stays on. When it has fully chrarged the led will flash. However if i put it on charge and it turns itself on, if i then turn it off and leave it charging the led never flashes when it is charged.
Modern Li-Ion battery charge regimes are complex. They will charge until full then turn off until the charge falls below a certain level, then start charging again. So if you happen to look at your device at they wrong time it might not show fully charged because it is part way through the wait cycle. This is done to prolong battery life - it stops the battery from being cooked. You can bump charge a li-on battery to get more juice it it, but that shortens battery life considerably.
Also, it is possible that your battery meter need calibrating. Every 30 days or so let your device run right down before re-charging - this should re-calibrate the meter.
Thanks
I did discover that he only blink when turned on, just what you guys telling here.
Thanks for the reactions

Somewhat same issue, battery charge light NEVER blinked, had Archos 32 for 2 weeks on 2.0.71. The charge would never reach 100%, it would stay at 99% for hours, all day, just could not find that 100% mark and switch to status "charged". When I would wait at 99% for an hour or more, when unplugged, the meter would say 100% immediately after disconnecting it. Maybe it was cycling or doing something battery related, but I doubt it in light of upgrading to fw 2.1.2 and now it charges to 100% without an issue and the power led blinks. Looks like they fixed that bug, or at least it is fixed for me now.
Does anyone have trouble with the Archos 70 not charging at all? This has happened a few times now, I've put it on charge overnight and when I check in the morning the battery is at no charge.

Battery shows 100%, when it has 3800mV

This is my first post, hope you can understand what happens to my phone (SE X10 mini pro - U20i).
When I connect it to my wall charger, it starts charging normally, no problem. If I charge it overnight, what it is supposed to happen is that it charges to 100%, then it stops automatically the charging process, "waits" untill the battery drops a given percentage, not sure how much, and then charges again, and repeats this process until I disconect the phone. This is the normal process, and usually does this.
But some times, what it does is charging to 100%, stops charging and it remains in the 100%!!! Never drops, and it discharges the battery much more rapidly!! I have System Pannel, and when this happens I see that the processor is allways in the 10%, which is not usual in standby... and as the battery is discharging, the % doenst change, still shows 100%, when it is maybe in the 3800 mV. When I disconnect my phone, the % starts decreasing rapidly, as if it was trying to "compensate", ah in maybe 30/60 minutes reaches 50%... This is not normal, and I think it is some process that stops associating the % of the battery with the voltage.
Ever heard of something like this...? My phone is temporarily rooted with Z4mod, with stock firmware. 2.1
try this:
install xrecovery
make sure your battery is at 100% (let it charge over night)
go into xrecovery (press back while the SE logo appears while booting)
go to "advanced options"
delete battery stats
and drain your battery till your device turns off, doesnt matter how
No go. Doesn't solve it... Going to try to charge it tonight with the background data option turned on. Have it turned off to save battery. Probably won't solve it, but it doesn't hurt to try.
This weekend I've charged it WHILE turned off, during the night. Got it off the charger, symbol in screen appeared with full charge, turned it on, it immediatly shown 18% battery left... This is really weird. Can it have anything to do with not using the original charger? I'm using the original as a travel charger, in my bag, in case I need it at work, and at home I use a Nokia charger, with an output of 890 mA, and with the adapter to microUSB (which actually gets very hot). Do you think it can have anything to do with this issue?
Turn off data traffic and "sync now", you will save battery.
With data traffic and sync on, my phone last just one day ( about 24h ).
With it off, It last about 2 ~ 3 days.
Result: I just turn it on, when is needed.
try turning off data traffic and as ur phone is rooted use SetCpu and auto killer memory optimiser....nd never over charge ur phone....charge it only when the battery is <10% and charge it until it gets completely charged....nd as soon it gets charged disconnect it.....nd set the SetCpu to ondemand and auto killer to optimum...see if that works for u..
lso get ur battery checkd if thats ok...

[Q] Battery is giving strange problem,what should i do?

I will try to explain my problem clearly and in a concise manner.
My battery started giving problem since a few days back.That time I had ICS in my phone.
My phone having enough battery gets shutdown in the middle of nowhere.
If i turn it on,it shows battery to be 0 or 1%.Then i used to set it on charging,and it used to work normally and battery starts getting charged from 1%.
On the other hand,if instead of turning up the phone and charging again,when i used to plug the charger in without turning on phone, my phone shows the correct battery percentage.And it starts charging normally.
To summarise-
My phone having enough battery gets shutdown in the middle of nowhere.If my phone gets off on 70% automatically,and if i plug the charger keeping the mobile off,it starts charging from 70%.But if I turn on the mobile and plug the charger,it starts charging from 0%
So this thing worked for a few days.After that my phone started turning off quite frequently.And I had to plug the charger everytime it turns off so as to turn it on again.
A couple of days back,I flashed cyanogenmod JB and siyah kernel.Since then it has been worse.
Now phone doesnt even last a minute even after full charging.It just shuts down as soon as I turn it on.I tried clearing battery stats.
I am unable to use my phone,its next to a dead phone.Please help !
What should I do to save my phone?
maybe its time to replace battery...

Are you sure battery needs to be replaced?
One more thing, after flashing JB, the battery percentage doesnt fluctuate as before.
It gets off at say 70%, and then it doesnt matter if i charge it keeping phone on or off,the charging starts at 70%.
Its just that the phone gets off for no reason as soon as it is turned on.
There is an app on market called My Battery Status, you can check your battery health with it.

How to reset battery stats on S9+

Hi
I would like to reset the battery stats on my S9+ because I have seen it live drop istantly from 14% to 4% , I'm not rooted but I have seen this procedure here:
Method 1
Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
Unplug your charger.
Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Now, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.
I have found this procedure here: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device
Is there anyone who can tell me if this is any good?
Thanks.
no, change the battery.

[FIX] Phone turning off at x%

When it turns off at x%, open twrp, set timeout to maximum and brightness to maximum and let it consume the battery until it shutdown, doesnt matter if it says 50% or 0% on twrp and you saw your phone turn off at 3%, let it discharge on twrp until it shutdown. At that point your phone is completly discharged, if you turn it on you will see the led on the left corner blinking red. Charge the phone until 100%, unplug it a scroll the app drawer a little bit for a few seconds up to one minute, if it goes down to 99% or less, plug it in again and let it charge to 100%. Unplug it and use it. That process will recalibrate your battery.
Ended up with new battery repolaced myself today But ill give it a tray next time.
