I have installed Infused ROM, still the charging time is same as before. Is there a way to decrease my charging time?
TIA
NO
NO there is no way to do this

So I have to handle with this 4.5 hrs of charging time
4.5? damn you must run your battery down to 5%.
Entropy's kernel uses alternative charging logic that supposedly charges faster at low battery. I don't know how effective it is, but you could give it a shot.

Are you USB charging or something? No way should it take you that long.

Yes, I am charging from 5%, Even if I charge from 50 to 100 it will take more than 2 hours.
the phone is charging 22 to 25% per hour. I dont think a phone should to such a long time.

I didn't understand anything in this..
Try deleting the battery stats when you are at 100%... you can do this manually or with apps like " battery calibration" free on market, or go to system and delete batterystats.bin manually, try everything i guess.
I was having same trouble when i used to change between ROMS a lot now i decided to stick with Infused 1.6 Froyo did the "recalibration" with battery calibration app, and takes a few days for the battery stats to rebuild correctly again.
But now it hardly takes my Infuse 3 hours to FULLY charge.
And you can recharge at any point even if its on 80% or 95% if you have a power aroudn charge while not using... this batteries dont get "used" for recharging them before "time" they dont do memory you can recharge at any time.. there was a whole thread about that somewhere here on XDA sorry i cant post the link just maybe try the simple way.... recalibrate on battery calibraiton and give it a couple days to generate an accurate stats.
Also recharge while not using (working....eating...sleeping...)
If nothing works maybe... get a new battery? may be faulty i guess.
Hope it helps

Clearing battery stats does NOTHING on the Infuse, or any of the first-gen GalaxyS devices, or any other Samsung phone with the MAX8998 PMIC for that matter.

it's funny (sad?) that you need to say this over and over again every single day. you'd think people would come across another one of your posts, which are everywhere, where you said this exact same thing.
Then you need to figure out the common denominator because either your cable, charger, or you aren't doing something right.
That amount of time to charge isn't normal.
Have you also tried pulling the battery for a few minutes then charging it yourself full? Don't power down, just pull the battery.

maybe try draining the battery all the way to 0. Recharging over night interrupted. And doing it once more. Not sure it will help, but I'd try anything.

Install CurrentWidget.
In the settings, near the bottom, there are settings for "operator on value" - Set it to divide by 1.83.
Then plug in your device when it's discharged below 80%.
Currentwidget should report 600 mA if you applied the correction factor above. If it reports 1100, you forgot the "operator on value" settings.
If it reports 475 mA, your device thinks it's connected to a USB charger for some reason.

The problem is people keep on coming from other devices, and they've been trained so long by HTC devices (most of which use coulomb counter fuel gauges) that they need to "recalibrate" their battery and let it "settle in".
Note that the GSII may also require battery calibration - it does have an updated fuel gauge chipset. But ours does not.

12 to 13 % in 30 mins, ie 4 hours to full charge, that is the problem...
Is it the same with phone off and charging as with phone on
and charging
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Phone asleep and charging and phone completely off should be fine. Phone in use will take longer.
Also, the reason I said to measure at less than 80% is because as you reach 85-90%, you hit 4.2 volts and the charge circuit goes into constant-voltage mode - in this region, charging takes longer.
Measuring time to go 10-15% is WAY too inaccurate for any remotely decent estimate of total recharge time. ESPECIALLY if that 10-15% is near the top of the battery. Our fuel gauge probably has on the order of +- 3-4% error. For example, once I saw it drop 10% in 30 minutes, but then it recharged 10% in only 5 minutes. The 10% "drop" wasn't real.

Does anyone here have Battery Monitor Widget or the Pro version installed, and if so, are you able to get a current (mA) reading? When I first installed it, I got readings for the first 5 or 6 points, maybe 30 seconds worth, but since then it only says 2mA, while voltage, temperature, and % are all reading fine.
I experienced similar issue with current widget. But no mA reading at all. I think the reason for this is that the Note "hides" this data.
First I hoped root would fix it but it didn't.
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk
This happens because the Note like the Galaxy s2 PM chipset doesn't offer ma readings nor battery calibration. The apps that offers ma readings are more or less accurate because the values are only estimates readings.

Bmw.pro Seems to be working on my phone
Rom:: KL1 KJ3 KJ6
The developer responded to me and suggested I needed to manually override the battery's capacity. He didn't tell me how, but I found it:
Menu > Settings > Monitoring > Battery capacity
Manually entering the capacity here results in mAH being displayed now. Unfortunately, I wanted to use this program to analyze actual battery capacity for comparing the OEM to some aftermarkets; I don't know if I can effectively do this if I have to fudge the capacity.

I have sent feedback numerous times to the developer - no reply so far. Good to know that at least I can manually enter the correct capacity instead of 1500 that it was showing.

Right. THe lastest app 2.0.1 update shows 2500mAh in config.
Base on developer, the readings are estimated not actual. So it takes changes in batt% to calculated estimated.
*sigh
Which Batt app can measure Samsung!!?!
%/hour shows right in widget but totally ****ed up in the app graph, in fact it's acting as opposite as it should :
When sleeping, it grows a lot, when using it gets way dow 0... Same for mAh... Why? How to fix that?

Mines got that hot before...its not a big deal. It generally doesn't go any higher than that and mostly only happens when its pulling alot of power from the battery to maintain a stable connection (poor signal areas). Most of the time, it doesn't get that hot. If your phone is continuously getting hot, you might want to replace it, but just occasionally and for short periods of time it can be normal. If your not using the phone under certain conditions, it might never get that hot for you. Plus, these phones seem to vary depending on the batch that was created. If it is causing problems, or getting any hotter, or staying hot, or if it just rubs you the wrong way....yea, try to get it replaced.
If it
---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
If it reaches a certin temp it will shutoff. But maybe your batt is starting to go bad. Unless your overclocked/ under volted then that's obviously the problem.

Oh yea, this reminds me to also mention to make sure your battery is seated well and the contacts are clean.
Come to think of it, Mine got that hot a few times when I was using a different radio / modem other than the on that was supposed to be with the ROM I was on at the time. Again, it wasn't a big deal or long lasting event (not hot enough to shutdown) but maybe the missmatched code was making it work a little harder at the time.
Lately due to summer and the increasing heat, while I'm driving my car using the gps and charging the phone I get a warning that's the battery is too hot and it stops charging.
When i checked the temperature its around 47 Celsius degrees, so like someone said its just a lot of power running through your device.
i have a powerskin case with my skyrocket and it gets that hot all the time when i am charging my phone and playing games at the same time

Have you try to clear the memory? maybe you have alot of stuff running on the background.
One thing I noticed today is by reducing the screen brightness to the minimum the phone requires significantly less power and is not heating as much.
Today while driving home from uni with gps and charging it barly got to 40 degrees Celsius (sorry im using this but you americans always have to be different, start using the metric system!), while usually it gets to 47+ asap and then stops charging.
Although today wasn't as hot as always so maybe it helped a bit.

No, not really much!
it's made for those lazy people those who don't turn off unnecesary feauture when not required.
for best battery use just one homescreen with only static widgets,no wallpaper, just one home screen,STAY MINIMAL. keep data off if not required, gps off, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen off time-15s and keep clearing often or kill apps soon after using them, if you want strict settings underclock too.
more or less those apps do same stuff i just mentioned and they take up some juice for doing that coz they always stay in background.
my battery got pregnant =)) , and I should use my phone while charging
Is good if I use such a Double power Battery?
So, I'm pretty sure I've damaged my battery. I've constantly let it get down to 0%, let it sit there way longer than I should, etc. Basically, I've just treated it poorly and have been experiencing relatively poor battery life (relative to the first month or two owning the device) despite greenifying, having low brightness, using Franco's kernel, checking BBS/Gsam, etc.
My question is, is there a way to determine the actual wear on our device's battery? If it's significant, I plan to replace it. If not, I'll just deal and look into anything else that might be causing it.
Thanks in advance!

The Nexus 5 has a Lithium-Polymer battery, if you discharge one of those COMPLETELY it'll end up dead/damaged. Probably what the OP is worried about.
The battery percentage is a calculation based on usage over time / system set battery capacity, not real capacity. When it shows 1% in Android, realistically it probably has 5-10% left. System will shut itself off before battery is harmed from excessive discharge in most cases. There are ways to disable the shutdown when it hits the calculated 0%, but obviously, such a thing is stupid and rarely done.
I'd say your battery is fine, OP.

Just don't repetitively attempt to turn the phone on again and again when it shuts itself off at calculated 0%.. that would be another way to hit actual 0% and damage the battery. (not sure if there's any protection against this, obviously not a good idea to try anyways)
But really, don't worry about damaging the battery by "draining" it to calculated 0%.
Hi, two weeks ago I flashed the cm, then battery started to drop by 2% and very quickly..i tried also mokee..same problem, so i restored the multi that i had before having the issue. But it didn't solve, so now the battery drops very quick..any advice..?

Right.
And i too have the 2% drops often, but there for when i use it, it stays 10 minutes on the same %, so no problem. For me its normal to lose 1% battery for 5 minutes screen on. So i don't care if it stays 10 minutes on the same % and then drops 2%

Apparently according to a Google employee, those apps are absolutely useless as they only delete some log files, so it doesn't really affect the battery life at all. Can't provide a source right now, but you can easily google it.

The battery "calibrates" itself automatically when you charge over 90%. In other words, the batterystats file is resettet, the same what these apps are doing.
