Question on charging after flashing

Everyone recommended to recharge the battery from 5% to 100% for several cycle after flashing any rom.
Just wanna ask if I charge the battery from 50% to 100% each time,can I still have the same battery performamce after several cycle ? or I must charge the battery from 5%？
P.S . I am in cm10 alpha 2 …
Thanks for helping and sorry for my poor English

What i do after i flash a ROM is i let the battery drain up to 1% and then i let it charge (USB/PLUG IN OUTLET) to 100%.. when it hits 100%, I go to recovery and Wipe Battery Stats..

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...

So What do i do now .. New Phone or is there away this can be Fix
Maybe a Powerful Charger ?

First I doubt is the port since it will charge when off. So first, are you using the sick charger, are you plugged into the wall or a computer. Also are you bad battery drain when unplugged? I would think you should go back to stock and see of it fixes it

The stock one is plenty. What he is saying is that it went bad. Try another charger and see if it works. Any micro USB charger will work.

I'm guessing you have something draining your battery. Download better battery stats and see what is eating up your battery.

You need to download better battery stats and find out what app is causing the battery drain and when you find it uninstall it

From your description it sounds like a rogue app causing a bad drain which is causing both the show charge and fast drain. So like I said get better battery stat and let's see what the app is.

Okay . I found what's causing the Drain . But how do I stop it .. in 10 mins I went to 90%-85%

This seems to be a common problem. I think the consensus is a corrupt file in your SD card. So you need to backup your external SD card and format it.

True story. It worked for me.

I know this sounds crazy but check and make sure usb debugging is off. If that doesn't work wipe ur battery stats.

Also u may need to wipe internal memory to help with some media drain. Not external!!! I use twrp and it makes these things a lot easier.

[Q] GB kernel that supports fast charge

Are there any gb kernel that supports fast charging? I am on Xxkpq now.. It has been a while that ive been using my SL
Im currently "fixing" this since im.experiencing battery misreadings like when i restart my battery, i'd lose around 20-30% of.the battery percentage

Losing battery percentage is one of the common problem in almost all Samsung devices so don't worry abt it. After the battery drop, if u keep the phone idle for sometime the battery will raise automatically to it's actually level.

This thing only happens when the battery is miscalibrated. I've calibrated well various times and that problem gone. Try to use battery calibration apk.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

well, there's no other way for me to recover my SL now unless i order a new motherboard
Here's the story:
I got my SL's touchscreen and digitizer replaced by some guy in stalls in a mall where they "repair" galaxy phones. Apparently, he did not inform me that he will be installing a fake one. Ergo, the keypad flex was already grounded... and unluckily passed on to my motherboard.
It literally f*cked up my charging input and output.
... *sigh

[PROB] Battery always stays at 3mv

I tried every ROM but the battery just stays @3mv
Even tried battery calibration but it was of no avail
Battery discharges in 1hr of moderate usage on Stock ROM and almost every other ROM
Is the battery damaged ?
It has almost finished a year of use

This is the only method which actually worked for me

Hi, I'm bumping this one.
I have the same problem. Tried Battery Calibration but 100% shows 4mV and 5 mins later is 64% and 3mV.
Can you explain this solution in deep, please? When you say "wipe everything" you mean getting into Recovery Mode and wiping Dalvik and whatnot? I'm not sure what ICS is either.
Thanks a lot!

Well
The stock GB ROM always showed me 3mv/4mv in battery stats
Other ROMs viz. CM7/9/10 always showed me something on 3xxx/4xxx
Also try doing this
Discharge completely
(After phone auto-shutdowns keep switching it on until it refuses to boot)
*** Try only on ROMs with offline charging ***
Then charge it to 100% and use the NOBOL method by zepperlinox (No battery on logo method )

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with a (new) battery that I've used for 3 months. Even tho it shows thats charged (sometimes as much as 90%), the phone will randomly turn off. Battery Calibration app reads only 3mv for some reason. With my other battery the phone runs perfectly normal (even tho with a big discharge rate since the battery is like over 3 years old).
To perform this, do i really need to install ICS? I'm currently using GingerBlurB V5 (CM7) and I don't want to backup/restore etc
