My phone won't charge to 100 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else experiencing this?
I have tried depleting the battery completely and fully charging it overnight, then turned it on and proceeded to charge again afterwards for 2 hrs but it just peaked at 97 for almost an hour and would not go on any further.
Also tried forcing battery calibration with the battery at 97 with the app. Also did the same thing on a separate occasion with full overnight charge, with recovery wipe battery stats.

This is normal.
It's safer for battery life.
You'll never have 100%.

anremi is right. But you could try bump charging if you MUST have 100% charge.

if you are at stock, just don't think about it... if you are at custom roms (or just rooted), just use the proper option in cwm recovery (or battery calibration app, from market)

[Q] Battery Calibration

I read a lot of thread about battery calibration so I want to know if someone try this on XT720 and if it's really usefull and not dangerous for the phone.
Thank you
It is useful and not dangerous at all. Your battery has, if stock that came with phone, a full charge of 4.2v.
So let's say that you have been conservatively using you phone most of the day and are at 70%. You decide to flash the Hellmonger edition or CM6 but you make a nandroid backup first. You flash them and it goes horribly wrong and your phone power dwindles down to 30% and you freakout and charge it back up.
When it is charging, you decide to hold off on flashing for a bit and want to go back to your "home" ROM, whatever that may be. You let your phone charge up to 100% and re-flash your back up. Once it reboots and settles down, you happen to notice that just 5 mins ago you were at 100%, but now after flashing your backup, your battery shows 70%.
30% drop in 5 mins is rediculous. Yes it is, bit it didn't really drop 30% in 5 mins because when you backed up your original ROM, you also backed up your data/system/batterystats.bin that was calibrated to 70%.
If you use Battery Calibrator and charge it up fully, run app, hit it and then unplug, it deletes the data/system/batterystats.bin and in a few seconds (5 ithink) it creates a new one with you proper charge and voltz.
So if you flash a lot, this is good for you. Or you can delete the batterystats.bin manually if you want, but there's an app for that.

So, if I understand, it's not so usefull because after I lose my 30%, if I charge and I have 100% it's really 100% not 70% right ?
I would say that it is always best to start from a clean slate. It deletes that batstat file and starts anew. Can't hurt, but if you are flashing ROMs every 3rd day like most of us, it does come in handy.
For the moral of the stroy, it will not damage your phone. Just a one click app that you can do manually with Root Explorer if you wanted to.

Its recommended that the battery drain fully, and then be recharged without interruption. I guess thats to give android a full scale from full to empty, to help better report battery stats and consumption.
However for me full drain means 10-15%, its hurts the battery to be drained till the phone powers off.

I used to drain it fully till my phone turned off before calibration but I read a very detailed article about how draining the battery completely can hurt it. So I choose to drain it till 5-10% which is good enough
How come sometimes when the battery is full it shows 4200mah like it should but sometimes it shows less like around 4165mah in the battery calibration app? At 4165, I still left it there to charge to see if it would increase or not but it didn't...
Sent from my MilestoneXT720 using XDA App
I know that the last little bit of charge just trickles in and takes a long time. If mine is at somewhere between 4150 and 4200, i call it good and go from there. If it was showing at say 4095 and 100%, then there might be something wrong with either the data or the battery. If you are sitting at 4165, then it is charged for the most part.
The app and what it does is more for when you are flashing a ROM and have around 60% and then once booted up fully, you charge it up to 100%. Decided you don't like your ROM and go back to your original ROM via backup, it will show 60% instead of the 100 or 90% you had before you went back to back up b/c you backed up the batstat bin when you nandroided your original ROM.
How about this:
ROM: Epicsteelblue 70% (and you made a backup) Then went to CM6, charged and hit calibrate battery at 100%. Used CM6 for a few hours and decided it wasn't your bag. Your batter is at 50%. You flash back to your Epicbluesteel ROM and you know for a fact you had 50% before you flashed back, but now once totally booted, you are showing 70%. This is why you use the battery calibrator after you flash a ROM. Gotta create a new batstat bin for you "fresh" ROM (even though it is a backup).
Hope this helps explain better.

That happens sometimes to me aswell. The battery calibration app shows the battery full at 4165 or somewhere in that range. What I do with that is bump charge it. So if battery calibration shows 4165, i just calibrate it and turn the phone off while it is connected to the charger. When it turns off the charging screen appears and shows 100%, i leave it there for an hour or two. Then remove and turn the phone on. If you go into the battery information itll show the charge to be 4200 or close to that. Hope that was helpful you can try it next time.
EDIT: The reason I turn the phone off and let is charge is that when it reboots after fully charging to 4200 it can create a fresh battery stats. Remember battery stats are only rebuilt upon boot. If you calibrate your battery and then dont reboot its useless. To test calibrate it, and then use it for awhile and then try to recalibrate it the app will indicate that there are no battery stats avaible to delete. This is because the ROM has not made any new battery stats and will only make them on boot.
hey guys has anyone tried this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10) of calibrating battery? it seems the dev says that if u use his method, you can calibrate without downtime!!
wow this is damn cool. but its kinda complicated. the old way feels better for me i think...
Battery Updates
The battery updates every 10%, is there any way to make it update more precisely, like every 5%?
I've never been able to get anything better that 10% battery increments
Okay thanks maybe in a future rom this would be nice.
Hi
Is their a way to change from 10% to 1% increameants.

It is the property of all rechargetable battery, 4.2V can only see at the moment charging progress just finished. when the power management IC pull of charge current, battery's voltage will drop a litte in a very short time, like you said, 4.165V for example. And, because of your charger is connected, battery will not drain, It won't be another charging progress witch you are expecting.
I know I'm digging up an old thread here, so sorry for that. I've recently tried a few other ROMs, but since have come back to CM6.3.7. I always do the battery calibration thing when I flash ROMs and each time I've tried it lately, it gives me odd information in the Battery Usage screen. I charged my phone to 100% yesterday before leaving work and when I got to work today, it showed 70%, which seemed normal, but the Battery Usage screen showed "1h 24m since last unplugged" and I know I hadn't plugged it into the wall or USB for about 12 hours. I did restart once....could that be the reason why the time since last unplugged is incorrect?

Battery Calibration - Once and for all!

I have read every possible thread you can imagine on battery calibration and can never seem to do this correctly, is it a myth? No matter what I do, if I restart my phone, I end up going from 100% down to 85-86% EVERY SINGLE time.
This is after "bumping it". (letting it drain all the way to 0% and then fully charging again).
This is after using BATTERY CALIBRATION in the market which was told works well. (again, advises you charge to 100% then "calibrate" it via the APP).
This is after charging it to 100% and restarting it, recharging up to 100%, restarting and recharging (repeat, repeat, repeat), and then going into bootloader and wiping battery stats.
None of these have worked, does someone have a sure fire EXACT way to do this properly or is at ALL just hype? Help.
Your battery will never say 100% after a reboot. It sucks up a lot of juice on a power up and the battery doesn't charge during powering on. I usually drop about 10% on a reboot using the rezound battery. That is normal behavior. If you can charge to 100% with the phone on then you're fine.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Interesting because I've never lost 15-16% consistently although I guess it using some juice to cycle makes sense. Anyone else seen 10+ every restart? Thanks for the help man in either case.
Hmm, never seen this before. On my phone which is running skyraider uc to 768mhz and uv only loses 1percent on reboot or doesn't even lose charge at all. Not sure why your phone is doing that.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
I am running G3D uc to 768mhz and on restart I may lose 1 - 5% at most depending on if i made any changes that take a longer restart. I bet you are overclocked? no need, under clock to 768mhz and your phone will run as smooth as 1.2mhz..maybe smoother while using less battery
Running liquid 3.2.1 on my T-Bolt with the Rezound battery and I only lose 1% battery at boot up. Never lost more...oh and I have never calibrated my battery. Also I get about 8-10 hours of moderate to heavy use too. All stock clocks btw
Just to double check - or reword... do it this way - if you aren't already.
Charge to 100%.
Wipe Batt stats
Drain to zero without recharging in any way (AKA let it drain until it shuts off on you).
Recharge until 100% (till it says 100%, not just "green."). And unplug.
And you're good! Try that and check back in.
Battery Calibration doesn't work
Ignore the % number, it means nothing. Use the battery monitor widget or another program that will show you the actual battery voltage. A fully charged battery will be somewhere around 4200 mV and a discharged battery between 3600 and 3200 mV. I've also noticed that the rezound battery throws things off as the mAh rating doesn't match up to either of the thunderbolt batteries. This is why the battery monitor widget shows the rezound battery as 2750 mAh instead of 1620.
What I recommend to my Evo peeps [which I have] is this:
-Charge battery to 100%
-Wipe battery stats in recovery
-Let the battery drain, so it manually powers off
-Charge to 100% again, and good to go

By this I mean Google Developers have came out recently and said battery calibration does not increase or have any effect on the state of battery life. All wiping the battery stats does is wipe the stats as to what has been using the battery, etc.
still handy for when you flash a new rom to wipe the stats, but it doesn't improve battery life at all.

Actually, the post from Dianne @ Google said nothing about calibration. She only talked about wiping or deleting the battery stats file.
You are correct, however all the battery calibration apps available only delete the battery stats file. So like I said it doesn't affect battery life.

This is what I thought I had done but will do again. The problem is even after its 100% and in between your 1st and 2nd step when I reboot into recovery, it's no longer at 100% and sometimes down to 85%ish. I will try again tho, thanks!

all that says is the the deleting the batterybin file doesn't help. The battery is handled by each by software outside of android itself. So, following the battery calibration from the manufacturer of your phone still might help.

25% in 20 minutes means nothing. The % is an estimated number. Find an app that reads the battery voltage if you want a true reading on the battery's charge. Full is 4.2 volts, dead is between 3.0 - 3.6 volts. Battery life should only be measured in hours from full to dead. I've seen my phone stick on 100% for several hours before as well as sticking at 20% for several hours. Ignore the %. Anyone spending all day looking at a % to judge their battery life should go back to a battery indicator that doesn't show %.

[P] Phone is charging itself?

Hello. This issue has been going on for a while now. But when I take my phone off the charger when its not fully charged. The battery percentage keeps going up. For example if I unplug it at 78%, the percentage will gradually go up to like 86-88%. Can anyone give me a hint as to why its doing this? Thanks!

Do you have Clockwworkmod recovery installed? Or is this a pure stock unrooted?
EDIT: Mr. Jacob, what are you tense about? LOL ! Just kidding....
Try using an app called battery calibration (can be found in the app market) when the phone is fully charged. This will reset all the battery stat logs and set your 100% to a true 100%
I have clockwork installed. I'm running SkyICS rom. And I have already tried battery calibration.

Battery calibration does nothing. Normally I wouldn't recommend that u COMPLETELY drain the skyrocket battery as its lithium based and can cause dead cells, yours needs calibrating, and wiping battery stats or using a battery calibration app won't help (both of these are myths by the way, Google if). Use phone until its completely dead, and won't turn on at all, only vibrate with a black screen. Then charge phone for a continuous 8 hours uninterrupted, that should fix it

As a first try, charge to 100%. Then go into CWM recovery and wipe battery stats. It should be good to go....On ICS, thsi seems to fix it for me.
IF you then stilll have weird battery problems a proper recallibration will be in order.
I had to just wipe battery stats when charged to 100%. DON'T just wait for 100%. Alow the phone to get to fully charged.....if you have "Full Charge" notification on your ROM wait for that.

Half of this is right chappatti
charging to 100% and letting it sit for at least an hour even after full charge notification is the best way. Wiping battery stats in cwm won't actually do anything though, thats a myth.
Actually, for lithium ion batteries, it is not recommended to let them discharge to zero. It's better to run it down to 10% or so (i usually do about 5%). and then charge it completely. Rinse and repeat over a few days, and there should be a difference.

What a revelation !! It's like realising my religion is all wrong !
BUT, BUT, BUT : reading the whole battery stats discussion, it i also clear that the business of charging for an hour after 100% is also not worthwhile, but is just a customer gimmick to make people feel thier batteries are topped off. This was started by HTC and the consensus is that is also does not help.
The simple solution is to let the battery go through 2-3 charge-discharge cycles.

A good read. Very useful, thanks !
I had this same issue with my Exynos G2, my problem was flashing different roms or putting a theme on. My fix came not by wiping battery stats but only doing flashes at 100% and plugged in. I never noticed it on my SR though. I'm not saying don't try what the others say, just giving you more options.

My battery is weird

My battery has been acting funny lately. Some nights I go to bed with the battery at 100% and when I wake up it's still at 100%. Other nights it loses 10-15% (in about 9 hours). I don't have anything running in the background that I'm aware of that would cause such a discrepancy. A couple nights ago the battery lost 10-12% overnight with the phone turned off! Still the phone was apparently awake all night. How is that possible?
I'm too lazy right now to post a screenshot since xda only accepts urls.
The same here after flashing a new custom rom.
After turning on the phone and making this screenshot percentage immediately went down for 10 to 15 %.
You can check things like that pretty good with apps like Battery Monitor Widget.
Did both of you try to recalibrate the battery?

Why would you only go down to 10? Might as well drain the battery completely. It's not going to damage anything unless you let it sit around dead for weeks, possibly even months.

Actually, for a proper cell calibration, it is best to drain the battery completely. Many agree and I have never heard a dev say that draining it dead hurts the battery. It is essential for each cell to be empty in order to properly and fully charge a li-ion battery (without this, % figures will be non-calibrated over time). Just like it is of good practice to let the device charge and extra hour or so once the indicator light turns green (to ensure 100% after trickle mode).
Rule 1: Battery calibration does absolutely nothing. Deleting battery stats will never, ever do a single thing to help your phone's battery calibration.
Rule 2: Standby drain is almost always because of partial wakelock or kernel wakelock. Install Betterbatterystats to figure out what the issue is.
Rule 3: If your phone is in a good reception area and still experiences heavy standby drain, charge the phone until it reaches max voltage (4.2 or 4.3), then use it until it shuts off, then go to hboot until it shuts off, then charge to full again, preferably with the phone off. Wait about an hour after you first see the green light to turn it on.
After that, enjoy. If you still have issues, I would suggest backing up everything and attempting an ruu flash with the battery at 100%.
I failed to mention it, but I haven't rooted or installed a custom rom.
I'll try better battery stats to see what I can find out with that.

battery percentage

I don't know if i'm being paranoid or what about my battery %, but whenever my phone reaches around close to 30% it goes down instantly to 19% in like a minute all the time.. Not sure if my phone isn't used to my rom yet but it did that when i flashed sc7 and sc6 (gb).. Has anyone experienced this issue before, or my battery needs to be replaced?

Wipe battery stats?
If that even works on this device, I know it was just placebo on Samsung devices.
Yes you wipe battery stats through custom recovery. But you need to calibrate your battery as well. Each time you switch ROMs, be sure to do this. I was having same issue except mine would hit 30% then instantly drop to 5%. Calibrating the battery and a few setcpu tweaks fixed my insane drainage.

Anyways that isn't an issue anyways its the drainage from 30 down to 19% in an instant.. which i hopefully fixed when the battery is now calibrated thanks to that app
Hmmm I just saw my battery went from 30 down to 20 again.. maybe my battery isn't calibrated enough? i followed the steps in charging it phone off and then calibrating the battery with the app..

Which App? All you need to do is go into CWM and wipe battery stats. Anything else you use will not work right on this phone. After that it needs to be 3 "FULL" battery cycles (fully charged to fully dead, or to 5-10% at least, then fully charged again).

battery calibration app.. I used it to calibrate it but I usually only charge my phone when it reaches under 10% or so..

I have the exact same issue as does my wife. She is on stock ics and has never done anything on her phone whereas I am on svc7 rooted and have done everything anyone ever recommended to eliminate that loss from 30% to 19%. No avail.

How quickly is the discharge from 30-19%? Can you attach a log of wakelocks found? Have you tried another battery?

Literally from one second to the next it goes down 10% or so. Don't have another battery but my wife has the same thing. Does it after a factory reset as well as after installing 60 apps. Before and after battery calibration. None of it makes any difference.
The only other thing I can think of is that a certain battery percentage kicks in a certain lower clock speed and that that process kicks 10% of the battery. Not likely in my mind, but possible.

After about 3 weeks after making this thread I still get the same thing.. From 30% down to 20% in seconds sometimes it happens at around 40% which is utterly absurd
I have also noticed this problem sometimes, when I do run it that low. My jump is from around 30 to 20 percent. I did wipe stats a couple of days ago after I flashed swiftytrix from ICS leak 1. However, after wipe stats, I didn't discharge to completely dead, but close to it. Does that matter?
