Hi everyone!
I got my P9000 three weeks ago and only used the quick charger since then. I noticed the charging time increased a little(and feels like the battery drians faster). Looks like its not very healthy to always use quick charging regarding battery life. Would you recommend normal charging from time to time? Any long time experience with quickcharging?
I do both use wireless charging for overnight and then use quick charging if im in a rush. Better to trickle charge the battery in the long run
I use wireless charging and quick charging. But I'm interested in experience from other users with quick charging. I can't say anything because I have my phone since yesterday...

Hello guys... I'm having a major problem with my battery not taking a charge or just being stubborn.
I used multiple chargers and the phone refuses to charge. It discharges even though it says it's charging and it mounts via USB with no issues and data transfer is faster than ever. I have the OEM stock and the Laza extended battery but the Laza takes much too long and the stock battery won't come back at all because the charger kills it...
This started when I left my extended battery on the charger overnight and it was at maybe 30%. I woke up and it was dead; it wasn't responding to anything unless I pulled the battery and it gave me the blinking orange LED. Any ideas?
*phone was dropped once but a WHILE ago
did nothing special and it was charging great 3 days ago
charging while powered down actually kills the battery FASTER
I'd appreciate any help.
Have the same issue. I believe my USB port is coming loose from the board and needs repair or replacement. I tried physically bending bits of the port with the battery removed to mixed success short-term, but now I have trouble just getting data to connect over the cable. Could try to work around the issue by buying a couple of wall chargers for just the battery pack, then circulate between two or three batteries through the day. Used Battery Monitor Widget app to see my device can eat 500 to 1,000 mA an hour, so I got two 500 mAh chargers and spare batteries to keep pace with max drain rate.
Okay, thanks for the recommendation! My Droid MAXX has arrived but my battery is actually doing pretty well right now. It decided to charge overnight but still no luck with the stock. But I still want to use this phone to test ROMs, and it's difficult to do so with the discharged battery. Anyways thanks a lot, I will look into this. Or maybe I could buy another Rezound for cheap or a Thunderbolt (if it works).
Hello.
I bought a used white S3 I9300 a few days ago and I have some questions about it.
First, the battery. It lasts about a day with regular use and I get about 3.5 hrs of screen time (using internet with 3g mostly, sometimes wifi. Using camera, a few different apps, UI browsing and a few other things. Brightness 60-100, power saving on about 50% of time). Is this good battery life or should I invest in a new battery?
Second, when I have the phone charging and I use it at the same time, it drains the battery slowly. Can't complain about charging time though, from 5-15% to 100% it takes about 3-4 hrs.
Third,can someone reccomend a good rom for it? Something that has good performance, features and battery life?
Thank you!
If your Phone is already on Sammy 4.3 I would recommend you to switch to any AOSP Rom.
Temasek´s CM11 or PAC-Rom are pretty well featured.

Battery Life completly depends on your usage ..........But the kind of Stats that u have specified it looks pretty much normal so you dont need to buy a new battery
Charging time that you have specified is a bit of my concern as using the official charger battery shoudnt drain while charging and using the phone(Unless ur playing heavy games simulaneously). Check if you have recieved an official charger.
Official S3 charger will charge your phone is Approx 3 hrs from 0(Obviously while ur not using it at d same tym). There are other 2A chargers available which will charge it much faster if you need (Read Pros n Cons)
ROMS ......well i Archidroid and REvolutionary S5 are the best Sammy Roms out there(personal opinion)

My phone came with original charger and cable. I am running stock 4.1.2.
I figured out the charging issue. I noticed that if I plugged in the charger it was showing charging AC with 1000mA. Once I moved the usb cable even slightly, it switched to usb charging and 400mA. Turns out there was a big piece of dirt stuck in the usb port. I pulled it out with a pair of tweezers and its all good now.
This is app is a must have and thought I'd share. Like everywhere I have read, they say battery should not be charged to 100%, it will hurt the battery somehow. This app "Battery Charge Limit" automatically (with root) stops charging the phone at whatever percent you want and starts charging back up at whatever percent you want. So you can always stop before it hits 100. It can be used without root but it only notifies you and you have to manually unplug the phone to stop charging. Better with root since its automatic.

Don't charge to 100%
Slow charge only
Don't quick charge
Don't use wireless charger because it heats up the battery
Lower brightness to 10% for best battery life
Disable wifi/lte/nfc/bluetooth for best battery life
...
Enjoy your $1000 phone!

Keep it turned off for a better batter longevity ??
Damn thos people are more preocupied of how to prevent the battery wear than actually enjoying this amazing phone
Well coming from an HTC device where after like what 6 months, my battery starts dying much quicker and hopefully this app and the nature of Samsung makes my phone battery last longer. Never owned a Samsung, so I don't know how the battery lasts over time.
This is a myth, modern phones already prevent damage from overcharging with the charge controller in the phone. Fast charging and slow charging also does not make a difference in battery longevity.
Just use your phone like a phone.
Yeah no
@nukeclears you need to bone up a bit more on battery chemistry before making statements like this. Overcharging is very different from charging to 80%. That's why Apple just implemented a charge limit in ios13 and Tesla strongly recommend charging to 80/90% max for daily use. Samsung just don't want to do this because they haven't felt enough pressure. I'll bet they implement it on the S11 and then for all phones by the end of the year.
Tab S4 has a setting to stop charging at 80%
You guys do need to go through all this? For what?
I have a Note 3 with battery since 2014 or 15, it still gives me the same power, sometimes it's better than it first was.
Charging fast/slow doesn't affect anything, I'm doing so for years.
I really don't think batteries die, if you felt it's weakening, just change OS, not the battery.
Samsung themselves, on the s10 series, suggest to charge from 30% to 80% everytime you need a charge.
In my daily usage, stopping charge to 90% is enough and I have all the juice i need till the next day.
If you are rooted, Battery Charge Limit app can be very useful to optimize the life of your battery (remember: battery is the first hardware component that ages your phone). On my 2015's Sony phone, they wanted me to pay 75 euros for battery replacement...
This thread is full of people who know nothing of batteries.
I bet your phone battery does "feel" the same after years when your os pushed that update that permanently limited your frequencys lmao.

Enjoy replacing it every year because phone batteries are becoming more commonly HARD GLUED into place. So go ahead, switch the whole phone out.
Hello, my Xiamoi Mi 9 is arriving end of next week and I am pretty hyped!
I am really not sure, if I do need these mentioned charging techniques. Apparently you can charge your phone from zero to 100 below one hour. Is it good to charge a phone very often and that fast? Doesn't it heavily influence the battery life? Shouldn't you just use a slow charger and charge it only up to 90%?

Well I don't think the charger influences battery lifespan, it's how you use the device that does
Most phone batteries are lithium ion batteries and honestly chargers (except fake ones) will not harm your battery regardless of charging speed, phones are built to handle them
If you continuously fast charge your battery, it will lower the lifespan of the battery over time. Unless you're planning to keep this phone for more than 4 years, it's not really that big of an issue. But charging speed does affect battery life.
What affects battery life is letting it go to 0% on Lithium. Just make sure you start recharging it around 10%-20% and you will make the battery last for a very long time.
Noticed that after updating to EMUI 10, the phone didn't want to charge completely to 100%. It wasn't until I was looking through battery settings that I came across the smart charge setting.
I understand why the setting exist, but I'm also annoying that it exists too. I feel like the phone has been fine for 2 (maybe 3) years now without it and I haven't noticed a difference so how important is it? I'll use it for a while more but I miss seeing a 100% battery
IMO, this option came too late on Mate 10 series. You will not notice any big difference but smart charge is here to prolong a battery life. Rechargeable batteries don't like very low and very high voltage so it's best to keep them between 40 and 80% as long as you can. I think that's the target of smart charge option. Even without smart charge, I usually disconnect the charger once the battery reaches 90% and I never charge it overnight.
