Hi I've noticed I mustn't of been charging my battery full I've been.calibrating the battery to 4015mv and now I have relised it has gone up to 4215mv after installing new Rom
what is the full charge MV ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Mine is about 4210mV in Battery Monitor Widget. From what I red, it should be around around 4200mV or slightly more.
At 4015mV, I think you lost quite some juice...
Mine is going up to 4202mv.

Also 4215mv at full charge here. Highest i have seen is 4216mv when i just had it.

is it good to charge the phone overnight everyday? I just bought a brand new batter. will it harm the battery?
I don't think so unless ur using a kernel with SBC. Then it may have the possibility of not being good for it

I'm sorry, but what is SBC? I use the Virthuous Sensation v1.0.2 with "2.6.35.13-UNITY-V3-g3400b8d" kernel. And i believe i have the CWR 4.0.1.5

Just going off personal experience, but I'd say it's ok. I charged my G1 and Nexus One nightly and never had any ill effects.
From what I know, Li-ion batteries are smart enough stop charging when they detect that they full.

I'm just curious, if you don't charge it overnight what do you do during the day? Charge it then? What's the difference?
Bottom line, keep on charging, you'll be fine.
Lithium ion batteries do not have a memory like ni-cad. Charge whenever possible to avoid depleting the battery any lower than necessary. Our batteries have a finite number of discharge/recharge cycles. If you drain to 50% and then charge fully, you've only burned 1/2 of a cycle. Your battery won't fail as soon if you avoid cycling too deep.

I don't think it would be smart. There are chances that your battery will pick up false stats.

I think I'd rather avoid depleting my discharge/recharge cycles by not cycling too deep and just wipe/regenerate the battery stats on occasion.

I just got a new battery from HTC, a replacement for the stock one um using. Should I charge the new battery as sion as I put it on the phone or shall I use it and wait til it die before I charge it to have a better battery life?

The batteries that come with a new phone are usually around 40%, they do this because 40% is a perfect amount to charge at. If you battery you receive is at around 35%-45%, I would give it a full charge, if any less, or at 85%+ I would use it until it runs out, then search the android market for a battery calibration app.

I have a stock phone no rooting or not flashed. Are there any battery calibration app for a stock phone?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I just used the replacement battery but everytime I look at the stats it still shows the stats from the old battery. How can I clear the stats to start a new one. My phone is pure stock out of the box no root or flashing. Ty.

App in the market that will calibrate your battery.

Try putting the phone down for at least a lil while.

lol, 4 hours of constant use with screen on. I would say that battery is working well.
Ok good just making sure its not messed up and Idk why but to me the whole 4200mV when fully charged seemed high I mean its at 3900 when charging Idk lol but thanks guys
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I usually top it about 4213mv when I'm fully charged.
Mine jumps back and fourth between 4200 and 3900 also.
Okay good I never took notice with my other battery and Idk just thought it could be a high number xD

May I ask what app(s) you're using to generate your battery data (graph and calibration)?
Battery calibration app and the stock setting battery information on abso 3.2
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Using the phone with screen on for 4 hours and whatever apps or games you're playing + wifi or GPS or data can definitely kill your battery in 4 hours. You can do the while calibration method but if you've already done that then nevermind. If you're not using your phone for the 4 hours and it died that fast then yes something is wrong.

Yea I was doing it as a self test and just wanted to see if that were a good amount of time I bought the battery from new egg for 15 and it was a stock HTC battery

Wow that's crazy! It seems that the phone is in almost constant use for 4 hours straight! Wifi was always on, screen is almost always on, and it's awake almost all the time. I think the battery is doing well then. Just don't go crazy with it too much.
After installing 1.3.5, battery level is dropping so fast. I did battery callibration. On previous version (1.3.0) with one hours heavy usage battery level used to be at 90%. Now its 80%!

Have you tried different kernels? Sometimes switching to a more battery friendly kernel can help. Also it could be time for a new battery. An extended battery like Anker or mugen. Both good batteries.

How long ago since you installed the 1.3.5? It will take a couple battery cycles (full charge/discharge) after install until you start seeing 'real' readings.
If you just installed the ROM, please give it some time to settle as system is still building.. Give your new ROM some charge/discharge cycle..

Same for my phone...
mine seems ok, im using an anker battery with Faux's latest beta kernel (version 10 beta 6) give that a go and give it a few days to settle down and see what you think. all day in my pocket takes it down to about 70% with light usage and calls.
Hi, I'm rather new to android and I recently bought an anker battery from amazon since my stock battery was draining battery really fast. However, I other than the first day if usage where my battery life was really good, I've realized that my battery isn't doing very well now. Light usage of the internet will cause a drop of abit 1% per min. I've searched threads and have downloaded GSam battery monitor.
From the app, I found out that most of my battery drain was due to "Kernel (Android OS)". Here are my results. I would appreciate it if you guys could take the time to help me find out what has been causing this battery drain.
I don't have any other apps open btw.
Thanks a bunch!
ps: typing this post drained 6% of my battery.
