Hi guys i just bought optimus one yesterday and then i charged it for the first time 4 hours until battery empty. My question is how long should i charge it after i charged it for 4 hours. i am correct the sale lady said 4 hours
what should i do next to extend my battery life plss give me some tips in charging thanks
LG recommends you do a full charge / full discharge cycle when you start using the phone. So if you fully charged the battery (and I think 4 hours was enough to accomplish that) now all you have to do is wait for the battery to empty and then fully charge it again. You don't have to keep it plugged in for 4 hours if the battery charges faster. When it's full, you can unplug it.
Then, the best practice for this battery is to charge it whenever possible, even if you still have enough to go throughout the day. Keeping the battery over 30-40% at all times gives you longer battery life, but once in a month you should perform again a full discharge / full charge cycle to re-caliber the battery power meter.
Please read this for a better understanding of how Li-Ion batteries work and should be taken care of.
thanks master but last night i decided to charged it at 1% then i slept and my phone was charging for almost 6 hours. it this ok? i only do full/discharge one time?
BTW it this normal that in status it said not charging instead of discharging?

Yes, it is OK, and yes - only one time. To be sure, read the phone's manual. It says there how to proceed - please ignore the sales lady. Then you may do it only once in a while, to keep the power meter accurate.
Regarding the full charging/discharging cycle: Li-Ion batteries don't need that. There's no "memory effect" plaguing them, as was the case of NiMH or NiCd batteries who lost capacity if charged less than 100% or before complete depletion. Or, simply put: charge this battery as often as you want, for as much or as less as you want.
Furthermore: Li-Ion batteries have a limited charge/discharge cycles count. Around 500, I think. If you charge the battery more often, before dropping below 30%, the charge doesn't count as a full charge. This gives you a longer lifespan for the battery before replacing it (but not a longer time before the next charge).

Yes, that is also normal. Mine says "Not charging" in status too.

Sorry, but I do not use this feature because I don't need it. I am only sending and receiving a few SMS messages a month.

First time charging
Hey,
I've just got my LG Optimus One delivered, I'm charging it and at the start I could see it was charging but after about 2 and a half hours it's been now, I can't. So do I just wait until it's fully charged and the icon will come up itself or do I press the unlock/power button to see how much it's charged or any signal it's charging?
Just asking because I don't want to turn it on when I'm not supposed to and mess the intial first time charge up.
Thanks.
is there any apps that actually drains batt then do a full charge?
I use battery doctor but sometimes it is hard to do a full charge because to do a full charge battery has to be less than 20%
but at the end of the day (before going to bed)
my battery still at 30% ...
lol nothing happens if u dnt hav full discharge. Its jst a recommendation for good battery life, jst buy a new battery if ur not satisfied with ur battery life rather than breaking ur head before putting it for charging...
charging rate
After some search I was unable to find an answer to the question:
What is the charging rate (in mAh) of LG P500 default adapter?
If I buy a replacement of original micro USB charger, what can I use?
500 mAh, 1000 mAh, some other?
Is there a difference for the battery?
Input= 0.2A
Output=0.7A
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA
Simple question: under battery use how much screen display time do you get per battery charge? I don't care about other stats, just screen on time.
Hey guys,
Tomorrow (by tracking from Amazon.fr as it says) I will be new owner of my first smartwatch - moto360 2nd gen. I didnt found any information, so best place is this forum, how long does this watch need to charge from 0(can be 5-10%+)-100%? Did anyone tried full charging?
didn't try full charging yet, but today it took 1h 35m to get from 19% to 100%
i'm happy with the battery life, after 1 week of use, getting 48 hours easily (always on screen disabled and during the night i've enabled airplane mode)
Hello,
I have a problem with the battery display refresh.
For exemple:
Battery display 80%
After 1 hour using tab, Battery display 70%
I plug charger and I have no indication that the tab is charging
After 2 hours (charger plugged), Battery still display 70%
After rebooting, Battery display 100%
It's a SM-T820 model with stock rom.
Never been rooted.
I re-intall last stock rom with odin and I have the same issue.
I use genuine charger an genuine cable.
If someone have an idea how to fix this problem ...
Thanks you (and sorry for my english)
Hey guys, I have not been getting stellar battery life. It seems to drain very quickly and I never get the screen on times that a lot of you guys are reporting. I have the Accu battery app installed on the phone and here are some screenshots. Apparently my battery estimated capacity is 93% of what it's supposed to be. Also, I'm attaching some other pictures that give you an idea of how fast it's draining. Does anyone else have this app installed and what does it say as far as the battery estimated capacity? Do you think I got a lemon? The phone is only a few months old. Please see attached pictures. Those are almost all with Wi-Fi and not on 5G. Thanks
Can't see your screenshot, also not using this app. You should see in in your battery settings what is eating your battery. Mine is only two months old but withouth dual screen I can get easy 10h + SOT and I charge my phone every 2-3 days. Also I charging mine with cable as it charging best that way, got wireless charger but comparing to wired (on same charger) there is a huge difference and phone seems to hold charge for longer when charged on cable.
What model do you have exactly? If you go to the hidden menu *#546368#*600# do you have any logging enable? Do you have bluetooth/ wifi scanning in use, or always on display?
Did you notice any change in updating recently?
There are some ways to supposedly calibrate the battery that you can try.
