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.

can you tell me how can I update the kernel. I am new to android, so I am not sure with my Infused RAM, can I do this or not.

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.

Mostly i am charging when I am sleeping, still it charges @ 23% to 25% per hour. I already tried 3 different batteries and 2 phones.

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.
Too much battery usage on diaplay or is it fine?
If its too much, then how should I.lower it?

battery charging should be how long?
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------
i read somewhere that LI-ion battery should not be fully charged..puts strain on battery...do you fully charge your phone every day?
varies with the battery and charger you are using
original charger take 2-3 hours, non-orginal takes around 3.5-4 hours
Sorry if this is considered threadjacking (I hope not!)
In case of battery drain, does installing something like Juice Defender could help? Any specific setting(s) to follow (JD free version, not Pro/Premium)?

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?
Hi guys,
I've been spending time trying to figure out how to squeeze battery life out of my Nexus 5. I've flashed Carbon, Franco kernel r54, played with brightness, turned off the "OK Google" keyword detection, and so on. I'm no phone noob, but I'm at a loss.
The reason I even got on this path was due to a semi-rare issue where I would lose 30%-40% overnight doing absolutely nothing (with 4.4.3). That appears to have stopped with Franco and turning off the keyword detection. I get about 1%/hour burn on idle, which is fine. My issue is the 15%-20% per hour burn and/or excessive warmth during regular use. Any suggestions? (Even obvious ones, I may have overlooked them).
As well, does anyone know what Google Now features I'll lose if I turn off location reporting? I like the weather, parking, travel time, etc. I'd prefer not to lose them - how does that actually affect battery?
Thanks in advance!

Go here. Read post number 2 carefully.
And yes, location services for all your using it for will take a good toll on your battery. Especially if you're on data and your signal is weak.
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------
Also see post 1. Post the recommended screen shots in that thread for more efficient help.
With no screenshots, any advice is a guess. ?
I've added screenshots here. I have location in high accuracy and location reporting, location history, Gnow, and ADM on.
My standby time is great, but I burn 15% per hour screen on - is this normal? Will I reduce that by adjusting location settings?
Also, will I lose weather, parking, etc from gnow if I turn off location reporting?
Finally, any suggestion on temperature regulation?
With all that enabled....I'm surprised you get the battery life you are getting. Lol
You realize you're on pace for just under 5 hours screen time....with basically all the bells and whistles running.
Go now and enjoy your phone.
---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------
Tip for next time tho....when posting screen shots, a few hours of stats doesn't give a very accurate picture.
Next time charge to 100....get down as low as you can, before you charge....and then take screen shots.
Well damn! I figured that may be the case, but I'd seen others posting numbers like 5%/hour for SoT but they must have a lot more turned off. I usually have a charger nearby and I like my toys!
I'll be sure to post a way more round view of stats next time. Thanks for helping and not making a forum noob feel bad.
Percent per hour while using the phone can be WILDLY different depending what you are doing. And again....its a more accurate number once you've drained the battery almost down.
Again....for your setup....I'd guess you'd get 3 to 4 hours screen time on average. So you're doing well! ?
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------
This is with location and a lot of things off.......
---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
But that's over 21 hours as well.
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!
Just as a disclaimer:
I am NOT saying my battery is not calibrated or any of that already disproven/discussed nonsense

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%.

umm it's a safety feature. You should never attempt to run a phone at those temperatures let alone charge it. Also are you putting the phone in a freezer or are you in a cold area like alaska or northern canada?

if your phone isn't cold to the touch then i suspect a defective battery thermometer. if thats the case buy a new one off the internet. if somehow it fails to solve the issue then your phone is defective itself. i never heard of this issue before.
