swapping between phones help - General Questions and Answers

Hello I have a question hopefully someone here can help. I have a iPhone 4 and an xperia play that I like to swap in and out of. When I'm not using one should I let it rest on a full or empty battery? I don't want to ruin the battery if it sits for too long in the wrong charge.

Let it rest on empty battery would b a safe option however it does not even matter if its fully charged or not, just switch it off and let it rest.

battery empty will be the best option because every battery has its own charging and discharging life .if it increases the battery life decreases and charge only when the battery goes down below 5%..try it

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

Let battery die out???

Hi all.
What would be good battery maintenance on my nexus s? Should I let it die out once in a while? I keep charging it when I might that I shouldn't need to.
Thanks

From what I've read, the Lithium-Ion batteries like to be kept charged to 97%. Your phone will take care of keeping it at the right level. Don't fully deplete it as it will begin to decrease the lifespan of the battery.
Multiple short charges is better than long discharge / recharge cycles.

Check out fig4. lower battery voltage gives longer battery life. Maybe that's the plan, make battery last longer.
Hmmmm very interesting,
In the case, sounds like a good idea if I was to purchase a second power cable and keep of at work. Sounds lilethe nexus s battery is designed to stay as fully charged at all times. From that report, would that be a fair assumption?

Yep..that's what I do too. In the car as well. Nexus S seems very power hungry but with the battery meter application built-in you can get very good at understanding where all the power is going.

Battery dead?

Hi xda
My battery is already at 0 percent when ive used wifi or 3g for just, or less than, 1 hour. When i got airplane mode on itll last like 7 hours which is fine.
Anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution? Is my battery.. dead?
Thanks in advance

100+ views but no replies. Thanks.

Sarcasm will not help anything. Besides, nobody is obliged to help you.
Anyways, many users have had this problem and the solution has been discussed. I believe you must change the battery. 7hrs good for your battery in airplane mode? That's actually very bad battery life. Time for a change of battery
Cheers

Thanks for replying bscraze, +1 Thanks
Will look for a new battery then.
Did you try callibrating battery.
Also our phone gets really hot (max is 55°C for me) and battery starts to go crazy . It won't charge higher than 46% and discharges when connected to charger
Try keeping the battery in refrigerator overnight and try Using it again (this works for laptops)

First battery charging

Hey guys!
Just bought the SGS3 and I wonder how about the battery? Do I need to charge it for 12 hours for first three times or longer or just charge till it's fully charged? And can I leave it connected to charger for whole night in the future? Won't this harm my battery?

Leaving ur fone connected to power may AFFECT ur battery but nkt kill it. As for the 1st time use, make sure the battery is critically empty before you recharge. Empty your battery and perform a full charge frequently !
Hope you find my advice helpful

When I bought my Galaxy Tab 7.7, the sales person told me to empty the battery first, and then charge it for at least 8 hours for the first time, and the person told me it is good for my tab's battery...

Ridiculous battery drainage

I recently switched to hyperdrive ROM again, and the battery drain is absolutely ridiculous.. I watched 4% drain as I was making this post. I have included screenshots of battery stats, can someone tell me what's up? One thing to note is that it may be my charger, because I bent the metal part that goes in my phone a while ago. Should that affect the battery life? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something to do with my setup before going out to buy a new charger.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I see cray drains when I flash a new rom too. A charge, a complete discharge, maybe twice and it goes back to normal. When was the last time you did that?
Same it usually takes a couple of days for me to see real battery life in a ROM. I'd test it out for a day or 2 and see if you have any improvements

Looking for an update from OP. C'mon!

do you calabrate your battery after switching roms?
That's been debunked but you can akways try.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What kernal are you running? Depending on the governor, I got really bad battery life with 4glte . Its kind of trial and error though.
Let the ROM stabilize for a while.
