I bought a charger from ebay made in china, it works, but im scared it might mess the internals of the phone or mess with the battery levels, is this true or is it safe?
Output of the charger:
4.3v, 380mah

I think it's too low. It has to be at least 5 volts and 500mah.

what would happen if i use it to charge anyway? just a shorter battery time? or will it damage it?

I'm not an electronics expert, but based on my personal experience, this does not damage your phone but it willl charge quite slowly (or it might refuse to charge at all, if limitations are built in inside the phone).
I think you should look for a charger with 500-1000 mAh (5V) output.
On the other hand, no, using a non-SonyEricsson charger will not damage your phone (I've been charging my new Mini Pro exclusively with my Samsung charger (which came with my i7500 Galaxy which is happily forgotten by now) because it provides a stronger current than the SE provided one (and should charge faster, even though I haven't really tested this)).
EDIT: quite a good writeup here: http://anythingbutipod.com/2009/08/usb-charging-guide/
Hello, is there a way to have the charger connected but only use it as an external power source like on laptops without charging the battery? I use my tablet often near the charger and don't want to start the charging process 5 times a day.
Thanks!

I don't know, but I'm curious why you want this? Did they put a Nickel Cadmium battery in your GT10?
I want this for the same reason as on lenovo laptops. With this feature you can save some charging cycles and the battery would last 1+ years. On my dell with the charging plan same as my p7500 the battery was dead (less than half capacity) after 10 months. And I do not necessarily need my battery charged to 100% all the time..

So they did put a Nickel Cadmium battery in your tablet? Those sneaky bastards! I must have gotten lucky--mine has a Lithium ion battery.
No it's Li-Ion, don't really understand why you think that Li-Ion is not impacted at all...

Sorry, I'm just having a bit of fun messing with you, but you need to update your understanding of rechargeable batteries.
Ok, no prob I realized that you don't know the answer, can you at least share your opinion why this looks like an unnecessary thing to you and prove it? (link)

I think that slack04 is refering to the properties of Li-Ion batteries. These are very different from the older technologies like NiCd or NiMH.
In short ... Li-Ion batteries realy love to be charged all the time. Keeping them attached to a charger all the time or multiple small periods of time will not hurt them.
There are only a few things that will realy hurt Li-Ion batteries:
- time : Li-Ion batteries degrade over time, even if they are not being used. You can expect a Li-Ion battery to work OK for about 2 years. So, never buy second hand Li-Ion batteries or batteries that have been stored in a shop for some time.
- heat : do not keep a Li-Ion battery in a hot place (like your car in the sun) It will severely reduce its usefull lifetime.
- undercharging : If you let a Li-Ion deplete to a too low level, it can be damaged beyond repair. But, our tab will turn itself off way before that low level.
So, just let it charge itself as much as it can.
This is not true for the older technologies. I think that's why lots of people are still thinking that very controlled charging cycles will prolongue the lifetme of their batteries.
Cool, so we can use tab connected to sector all long as we want with ion battery! ?

But if you want some more, you can visit the 'battery university'. E.g. this page:

Thanks a lot for the link, it's interesting reading that the best would be keeping the battery at around 40% charge.
BTW is it a Li-po or Li-ion battery in galaxy tab 10.1?

Read it again, and don't post stuff that will confuse new folks. Here's a quote from the article:
"The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. If at all possible, avoid frequent full discharges and charge more often between uses. If full discharges cannot be avoided, try utilizing a larger battery. Partial discharge on Li-ion is fine; there is no memory and the battery does not need periodic full discharge cycles other than to calibrate the fuel gauge on a smart battery."
slack04 > I've read the article very well... and I feel that your posts don't add that much value to this thread. maybe you could read it again as well.
Please check the table from wiffeltje's link. It clearly states that at 25C at 40% charge the yearly loss in capacity is 4%, and at 25C 100% charge level it's 20%.

I don't want to make it even more difficult, but the table you refering too deals with 'storage'. That's a good table to follow if you need to store your device for a couple of months without use. Then it's best to have a 40% charge.
For normal use the simple rule is : keep it connected to the charger whenever possible.

Battery calibration is a myth. Charging issues are caused by faulty batteries or faulty charging code in a ROM.

I think this app deletes the batterystats.bin file. You're right that this is no calibration. But this could help if he has mystic battery power looses.

That file only stores battery usage stats.
I thought it compares the logged data of voltage and the measures to calculate the charge. And when you've bad stats the system calculate a wrong charge. ...

You probably bought a fake or a faulty one, there isn't anything you can do except return it.
The battery isn't fake or faulty, I rulled that out. The problem is in the monitoring, it's not reading the mah correctly. It says 12% on the bar menu but the mah stands on -178(thats right negative!!).
I just need to reset the mah count. Can anyone help me?
And I'm not trying to improve my battery life I've already done that.

If you have rooted your phone, try flashing another ROM or just flash the same ROM again. Factory reset and clear all caches.
If not, try doing a factory reset on your phone.

i have a small problem
i asked you once to post your ampere app screenshot, in the screenshot you got output of about 1000+ mA
last night i tried 2 fast chargers but got the same result
maximum output was 650-700 mA
and device is taking about 4 hours to charge
plz help me

It can be beacuse of my reasons bro.
The temperature of your device.
How much old is your battery.
Which cable you use with your charger. ?
Please post ampere screenshots then we will be able to help you more.

Temperature 40 is little high.
33-38 will be the best temperature.
It can be beacuse of the old battery. Because 2-3 years is the Max life of a battery. On my phone i hardly get above 900.

No other way

It also depends on manufacturerer bro. Every company has its ways of battery optimisations. You see dash charging works on one plus 3 but the same charger doesn't works on other devices not even on one plus 2.
So, it also depends on companies how they implement their charging methods.
Please have a look at this.

Try a full charging cycle, and capture a screenshot of its MAX and MIN current. Instant data sampling is under-significance.
