So Accubattery health tab was saying my battery had only 2600mah left of 3100 (which is bs considering i bought this phone 2 months ago) and after reading a few posts about batteries they said that i should let the battery charge past 100% for an hour or two, and i did that and i noticed even though after 100% the phone was still charging (the numbers in the charging tab are changing) but it charges very slow compared to quickcharge (like 1mah per minute) i think its only charging to 2600mah and then it charges reallyyyy slow to 3100mah which is really annoying
what could be the problem? im using aospextended last build, but i had this problem with all roms, probably the charger or the cable is damaged?
I don't trust Accubattery as far as I could throw it...

Look at the lock screen while charger is connected and battery is 100%. Does it say "charged"? If so, all is fine

This is 3rd party app, it should not bother you so much. I doubt battery life is much better, you are experiencing placebo effect. Uninstall accubatery and it will be fine.

Guys i bought a extended battery just a quick question
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-Exten...353379?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab00f01a3
is it safe to charge in the phone ?
leave me your input
I always have and never had a problem. Just charge it full before using it.
Where else would you charge it?

A dock/cradle with spare battery compartment.
Charges flawlessly in my phone. It does discharge quickly at first but it lasts alot longer than the stock.
My experience mirrors sauls.
I have the double pack with the external charger but always charge in phone.
Takes about 3 full cycles to get full performance and the first 10 - 15 % seem to drain much quicker but in long run way outlast the stock battery for me.

lol its my first extended battery, our school locks the internet so im the one that teathers it for everone and my phone is all ways dead i need a spare
This one says 3.7v and the stock battery is 3.8v....wonder if that will cause some issues. I think ill wait till they make one with the same volts.

It doesnt cause any issue except for maybe the fact that it seems to discharge quickly initially. The anker batteries was labeled to have a limit voltage of 4.2V which it reaches when its fully charged. It's possible that a 3.8V extended battery might give a better life but the 3.7V doesn't seem to have issues and they hold their charge pretty well.

100% agreed.
Never heard of a 1950 battery for sgs2, best bet go with the 2000 mah one, there is a whole thread about it.
Thanks guys, I imagined the same thing. I will be checking out the 2000mah and the 3500mah. My phone battery used to give me more than 20 hours now it hardly lasts 4 hours.

i think that, what you need is to sync your battery, plug in and let it charge till 100%, after that, leave it charging 30 min. more, now, still conected to the power source, go to recovery mode, and swype the battery stats, and after it turn on, un-plug it, and now do 2 full charge cycles, that means, let the battery drain out 100% and let it charge till 100% without interrumption(power off the phone, and then plug it to the "wall"), do it 2 times, and now you'll notice a better battery performance:good:

That's not a very informative reply, lol
Fortunately, I know what you're referring to, which is a post by a Google engineer that wiping battery stats has no affect on battery life.
...
Perform shallow discharges.
Instead of discharging to 0% all the time, lithium-ion batteries do best when you discharge them for a little bit, then charge them for a little bit. The table below, from Battery University, shows that discharges to 50% are better for your battery's long-term life than, say, small discharges to 90% or large discharges to 0% (since the 50% discharges provide the best number of cycles-to-usage ratio).
Don't leave it fully charged.
Similarly, lithium-ion batteries don't need to be charged all the way to 100%. In fact, they'd prefer not to be—so the 40%-80% rule you heard is a good guideline. If you do charge it to 100%, don't leave it plugged in. This is something most of us do, but it's another thing that will degrade your battery's health.
Fully discharge it once a month.
This may seem contradictory, but hear us out. While lithium-ion batteries shouldn't be discharged regularly, most modern batteries are what's known as "smart batteries". This feature can get miscalibrated after a lot of shallow discharges. So, manufacturers recommend fully discharging your battery once a month to make sure this stays accurate.

you can be as neurotic as you like over this, but it really d doesn't make a lot of difference, just enjoy your phone.
Sent from an abused battery
The only big no no is to constantly discharge to below 5% and recharge . That according to the experts leads to a much shorter battery life .
Yes leaving on charge is a waste .
Wiping Battery stats does not improve battery life .
But all this is an old story posted time and again and bring nothing new .

there is a built in feature that stops charging once battery level reaches 100%. so there will be no harm to your battery. I have doing the same since gs1
My old Nokia 3510 needed a battery replacement after 4-5 years since it only held 3 days worth of charge instead of the usual 7-8.
I constantly let it discharge from 100% (overnight charging) to empty, the replacement battery cost me 5 bucks.
My Galaxy S1's battery has, after 2 years, no observable loss in capacity with overnight charging to 100% and dropping to 10-15% over 1-2 days.
A replacement battery would cost roughly 15 bucks.
I could go on the same about my Laptop, Netbook, Tablet and other devices with rechargeable Li-Ion batteries.
The point is; don't try to forcefully extend your battery life, enjoy your phone. Most people replace the phone every 1-2 years and the batteries are designed to live that long with high usage and deep-discharging. If yours should not or you plan to keep the phone longer, a replacement battery is cheap.

All Lithium batteries have it (and need it) since there is a risk of damage, fire or even explosion when it is overcharged. That's why not the phone but the battery itself has the corresponding controller. Since the controller cannot measure the exact capacity of the battery (only an estimate), it is recomended to deep-discharge and fully charge (charge-cycle) the battery once in a while to reset the controller's counter.
Battery replacement is cheap and easy as abc. That's the benefit of having removable battery. Just enjoy your phone.

An explanation and some evidence would be nice. Its hard to believe a claim without proof especially with the way you formatted the OP. You asked if anyone tried the charger then two posts later you claim it screwed your battery up. I'm looking forward to hearing about the issue because if its a phone issue that's different that a charger causing an issue.

Got the charger yesterday put my phone on it last night before bed. This morning wake up it is only at 85%. That's the first thing and I have seen some reviews about this one and others doing the same thing. My battery life I was getting about 16 to 18hr a day of battery life. Basically when I get home from work I am about 60 to 50 % everyday. I have been flashing roms and dealing with battery life and stuff for years. Today I did not even make it home before it was dead. Now I downloaded a battery recalibration app and I am going to try that to see if that gets my battery back the way it was. It Sucks because I was so excited to get this charger. I don't know what the deal is. I emailed the seller on eBay waiting to hear back from them. Proof? I can't screen shot my battery use cause I have charged and took it off and back on today so many times. I will tomorrow and see what happens. Guess I will just have to order a different one.
From the photographs, that charger looks identical to the Itian A6 (it's even called "A6").
I have two of the Itians and they both work perfectly (my only complaint is that they will only charge the Nexus 6 in Portrait, not in Landscape).

Its possible but the battery had a built in safety so it won't overheat and cause damage. I have used a qi charger every night since I bought my Nexus 6 in November and I've had 0 issues. I use a TYLT VU and or LG WCD-100 and still get excellent battery life. The only thing that I could think of is if the battery massively overheated for a long period it could result in reduced capacity but even then it's not instantaneous. A battery fixer app is worthless and won't help fix any issues with it so I wouldn't bother with one. It could be more than one thing contributing to what you are claiming and using the charger could just be a coincidence.
I'm not saying it's not possible however l am saying it's likely that there's more than one contributing factor. I would use the phone and run a battery monitoring app (check the battery life OP in the general section for more details) and see if there is anything causing it.

Ok so this is the deal I tested it over and over. When my phone gets to 100% the charger cuts off. When my phone charges on the wireless charger it kills my deepsleep. So in other words once I hit 100% it rapidly starts going down. Then the charger kicks on again then off on off on. I took the phone off the charger and sat it on the table I did not touch anything. Within 10min I was at 95%. I put it back on the charger it got to 100% I took it off rebooted my phone then I got deepsleep? I don't know why it is killing my deepsleep?

Well that is typical behavior and not your phone overheating from the charging like the post you quoted. Qi chargers do not trickle charge like a USB charger so they do exactly what you're describing.

I never said my phone was overheating. I said it only charged to 85% and it broke my deepsleep. No deepsleep drains your battery fast. That's the problem. So if I put it on there at night before I go to bed (which is why I bought it) all night it will go on and off.

Your phone will never truly fully discharge the battery (safety measure) it has to save enough to shut down properly. So that is part of it... I don't know if the cradle is set up to fast charge either... I doubt it, considering the phone should last longer than four hours any way. I'm happy to have a FREE extra battery, and cradle... It charges the battery, that's all I'm really looking for... I you are unhappy with it, I suppose you could send it back...

No such thing is happening. Please do not spread misinformation.
It charges slower than the phone because it does not have Quick Charge, it's a very simple charger. Label says it puts out 1.6A at 4.4V, which means the battery probably charges at about 1A on average. Charging is never 100% efficient and charging does not progress in a linear fashion, it slows down past 80% to near-trickle, otherwise the battery would overheat.
Chargers don't discharge batteries to charge them. This isn't 1990 and our battery isn't NiCad.
I just don't know why they're calling it a cradle. You're not resting your device on it. Those are cradles, this is a battery charger.
THIS is a cradle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A1LWHYTZATVG8I
However, this thread is otherwise interesting, I've used my battery charger for a few cycles, meh, it charges my spare battery overnight.
I know this is an older thread, but what's the experience with this cradle? I just got a used V10 on Swappa with this cradle and it does seem like it's taking a while to charge. I have no problem with how long it's taking, but I need to know if it's defective so I can do something about it on Swappa.
