Battery Monitor Widget

Question on battery monitor widget...
When I fully charge my battery the drain is around -2ma, -2ma, -2ma, till it starts to drop around 98%, than it's like -32ma, -32ma, -32ma, than when the battery is around 30%, it's like -100ma, -100ma, and when the battery is at 10%, it's like -500ma, -500ma. (FROM HISTORY)

What's the question? You seem to have forgotten it.

Post me a screenshot of your graph i will post one of mine too i wanna see what your talking about

I can't do it now.. It's not fully charged now.. But I'll try my best to explain..
When my phone is fully charged, and I take it off the charger, the draw is only -2ma, even though I'm like browsing the web. As soon as it drops to 98%, the drain is around 200ma when browsing the web. When the battery is around 40%, the drain is around 600ma. And when the battery is around 15%, the drain is 800ma when browsing the web..
One question: How much ma does your phone pull when screen off idle? (Mine pulls -30ma, but there are sometime that pulls -100ma?)
Note: I have no sync on .

That's weird cause you would think your mah drain would always be around 700-1800 depending on your CPU clock settings. Your app up to date? I just did a full wipe and reinstall so I will give it a few cycles running at different clock speeds and post some screen shots to see what sorta draws I get

Yeah, it's the latest Battery widget.
Can you do this?
Charge battery to 100%, set clock speed to 412mhz for Trinity/389 if on Faux.. (screen off)
See drain with screen off at 100%
Now drain your battery to 30 - 40%
And put clock speed to 412mhz for trinity 389 for faux (screen off)
Now see the history

It seems the longer the screen is off the drain lessens. I will charge during the day before bed and let it sit overnight draining and see what it does.

^ thanks IR.
See when doing nothing with screen off the drain is still -131... But when my battery is at 100% the drain is at -2. But doing the exact same thign at 30% makes it -131ma.

[Q] tips on first charge anker 1900 battery

Hey all,
I just received my new Anker 1900mAh battery today and since there so much battery tips and tricks on the forums im confused about how to handle it when i put it in my phone for the first time.
Im a light user and on the stock battery with ARHD i sometimes get over 2 days on a full charged battery.
I just want that little bit extra that anker has to offer
My question is (since i see so much devided opinions) whats the best 1st charge time and what do i do to get the max out of my new battery ?
Do i need to reset battery stats in my phone before putting it in ?
Do i need to drain it first before giving it a full charge ?
How long do i need to charge it for the first (or first few times) ?
Do i need to drain the batt to 0% before recharging it ? or recharge it more often at eg 30%
Any imput on the subject is much appreciated.
Cheers in advance.
PS: ive added a pic of my stock battery usage, not to bad hey
I just want that little bit extra of the Anker and have a spare battery with me in case of emergency.

well there isnt much to it. what ive always done is just drain it till it turns off. then full charge overnight or ~8 hours. after that, you can charge it when it gets to around ~30%, letting it go lower wont do anything bad to it either. their supposed to prefer short frequent charges and to never let itself drain so low that its damaged. leaving it on the charger for long times will not damage it, their built to prevent overcharging. but battery stuff is very controversial. what i always do is drain until ~10% then charge it until its green for about half an hour. good luck. impressive battery results btw. im a moderate user and get ~2 days on anker, yours will probably last 2.5-3 days with that anker

Thanks for the answer m8.
I don't really do anything special to preserve battery, just have my brightness very low cuz the screen is the nr1 drainer and appart from that I turn WiFi and mobile internet on and off as I don't need them both at the same time.
Ill post back when i have the anker in use.
Cheers.

my method following partial guide in thread, but i couldn't locate it.
1. Charge till 0mAh displayed in currentWidget
2. reboot into recovery and wipe battery stat
3. boot into phone normally
4. Settings > Power > turn off fast-boot
5. let it drain till 0%
make sure you charge until 0mAh (or close to) in currentWidget, all the time
hope it helps =)

I got mine a few days ago and all I'm doing is following the instructions in the manual.
So after charging to 100% I let it drain to around 10% and then charge to 100% again.
Repeat another 4 times. I'm on the 3rd cycle.

Im on the 3rd cycle now as well, i just let my batt drain till 2-10% and full recharge.
Im getting between 2days-16hrs and almost 3 full days...
Lovin the Anker so far

Not to resurrect an old thread, but I just got this battery. It says on the battery not to use anything above 4.2v. I have 5v chargers. Am I going to destroy this battery by charging with more than the 4.2v in the warning?

Charger base with LED flashing red and does not charge

My S3 Frontier does not charge.
I put it in the base, charge for about 5 minutes, then the base LED will flash red and the clock will turn off. There shot of the base, put again, the clock discharged the battery instead of increasing. It charges a few more minutes and starts all over again, the led flashes, the watch turns off and does not charge.
I already changed the charger, I already changed cable, I reset the clock and nothing.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Can you help me?

1.
You have SM-R760 or variant of SM-R765?
2.
You charged if Watch is OFF...
Power off Watch do the same as it is on and booted fully into Tizen OS?
3.
Under About device... is some battery info...
It could be, battery is dead...
Best Regards

I bought my S3 Frontier used over a year ago and one day shortly after buying it the charging base led indicator would flash red and never reach green. The watch did, however, charge but never a full charge to 100%. The watch was/is quite usable but it always frustrated me that it would never charge to green. I may have solved the problem this week and I'm so excited to share it online so that other sufferers of the flashing red light might find a solution too. After reading a manual for another electronics device I just bought, the manual described how the lithium battery could lose it's memory under certain conditions and it went on to explain how to correct the problem. I immediately thought of my Gear S3 and it seemed reasonable that this lithium memory problem could explain why my watch isn't charging all the way and flashes red. The description of how to correct battery memory problem was to drain the battery completely, like until it shuts off and wont turn on, and then charge it full and then repeat full drain and charge until the memory is reset. So this week I have been draining the battery on my S3 by setting brightness to full and turning on the always on function and just working it hard, it took almost 2 full days to drain the battery to zero. After cycling through full drain and full charge and back again the watch now charges properly and the light goes green when it's at 100%. I hope this helps you and anyone else suffering from S3 red light issues.

Thank You for posting this I'm going to give it a try. I just recently have the same issue.

I had exactly the same issue with R765A. Reset or latest updates did not help me. I tried my old Huawei 400mah and xiaomi power bank as a source with no luck. First time Gear can stay about 15 minutes before dock starts blinking. Also s3 turns off at that moment. You can pick up and then put back but 2-3 minutes later dock starts blinking again.

I suppose that overheating is the cause. Also there may be a stronger magnetic field, which lead to larger charging current and overheating. I'm going to check my friend's dock this weekend and if it is ok then definitely some chargers produce a stronger magnetic field.

Battery issue after reboot

I'm having an issue with the battery level after a reboot that is fairly consistent and happens regardless of how much battery life I have left.
After a reboot the battery level will show a very low reading (anywhere from 1-10%) regardless of what the battery level was prior to the reboot. It's been as high as 98% before reboot.
If I plug it in to the charger again and immediately reboot, the battery will read a higher level again.
I've seen a battery not hold a charge, but am not sure that's it since plugging it back into a charger immediately increases the level by over 50%.
Anyone have any experience with this or know what the issue might be?

The battery could be starting to fail. You could try Accubattery or other similar app to check the health of your battery. Has the phone seen heavy usage (charge/discharge), and/or exposure to high temperature?

It was a display model so it's definitely seen heavy usage. I'll have to check out accubattery.
Here's a screenshot of how the remaining battery life wildly fluctuates.

That's the kind of thing that my Samsung Galaxy S3 used to do, until I replaced it with a Pixel about 6 weeks ago.
If you do replace the battery, I suggest using Battery Charge Limit to prevent charging above 60 or 70%.

I'm guessing you have the original battery which is 2 years old. I'd have it replaced.

Before I consider getting the battery replaced, anyone think this could be software related?
I did a factory reset already and the problem still persists, but I still find it weird that the battery level would go up after a restart.
Today, with limited use the battery seemed ok and slowly went from full charge to 54%. I took a picture and the phone shutdown. On restart it was 8%. I charged it up to 62% and then restarted to see if it would drop again. After the restart it said it was at 85%.
I understand a bad battery not holding a charge or discharging very rapidly, but not showing an increase in remaining battery life.

The whole concept of battery percentage is a fabrication to help us understand (and attempt to predict) how much longer a battery will last. Batteries have voltage and amperage. The amps are constant, but the voltage drops while the battery is being discharged. When a battery cell starts to fail, strange voltage fluctuations can take place. This confuses the algorithms which calculate battery percentage.
As a former display unit, your phone's battery likely stayed at 100% charge for months, including while being used. Keeping a rechargeable battery fuy charged for a long period of time is detrimental to its overall health.
Edit: Here is a great article on how to (and how not to) charge lithium-based batteries.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus 8T can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Pretty amazing, as we all expected
40 minutes from 0 to 100%, nice charging animation with a counter, the device didn't get hotter than 35-celsius degrees (95-Fahrenheit).
This should be the standard for future devices, definitely for flagship devices.
Overall: 5/5 for charging. :good:

More battery life plz...
I must say its pretty fast.. but with all these dart and VOOC and QC 4.0 etc, its already enough.
The engineers should now focus on making battery life last longer, rather than just obsessing with the charging speed only...!!

6h00 = 5% (start charging)
6h05 = 30%
6h10 = 50%
6h15 = 65%
6h20 = 81%
6h25 = 92%
6h30 = 98%
6h33 = 100%

In 40-42 min my phone gets completely charged

good

7% to 59% in 15mins provided AOD is turned off

POWERED OFF:
35% to 80% in 15 min, total of 45%.
Remember, it'll start charging slower once it hits above 60% (or whatever that magic number is now).

Your phone will be 80% charged in a time of your morning bath

Charging speed is something I am getting addicted to.
I use a battery monitoring app called AccuBattery. It has a nice feature to sound audible alart when your device reaches a preset battery percentage while charging.
Idea is to keep using the battery between 20-80% charge to preserve charge cycles.
AccuBattery does a fantastic job with different battery stats. It doesn't have any features to save battery or provide long backs or such. But following this 20-80% charge cycle gave me great long term results with various devices.

Here is one screenshot from AccuBattery. OnePlus 8T with Charging Optimization feature of Oxygen OS turned on.
Although with reduced charging speed, 40-80% took just 15mins.
Very addictive & supper convenient
Update :
Even with slower charging option (optimised charging) turned on and with ambient temps are around 32-33c, phone does 20-80 in 20-25mins. That 20-25 mins charging gives me a good 20h+ usage !!
I am pretty ok with it..

takes more then an hour to charge 1% - 100%
