Hi, what's the best way to charge your phone ?
I mean, can i charge it when it's 40% to 100% without any problem ?
Or like from 30% to 80% then use it without dammaging the battery ?
Just charge it as and when you need. Do whatever you want. There is no "special treatment" required

You should charge it when it is below 15%.

never go below 15% as LI-ON batterys do not like to be discharged so low.

Hi guys,
I've noticed that if I plug my phone to the wall charger, when it reaches 95% it just stops charging. I can unplug it and plug it again, and I can reach 100% by repeating the process multiple times, but not in one sitting?
Is this normal? Does it happen to you? Does it get better?
Same here
(Using SuperAosp-ST 4.4)
i have that 2
I got to 98 once !

Wow. So, is this some kind of feature or what?

as far as i know, its an known bug
Its by design - charging the battery to only 95% level & then the following discharge. It elongates the battery life. It should never charge to level's exceeding the above.
It's not a bug.
Most batteries lifespan drop if being on high voltage too long (100%)
So usually manufacturers will try to let it state it is fully charged before it even reach 100% to extend the lifespan of the battery.
But if you really want to see it charged fully you can do a battery stats wipe in recovery after a ROM flash. It will be able to charge to 100% fully.
Hope that helps.

tried this methode, but no success.
i come from a X10 and SE build in a charging algorithm: battery charged fully, hold this value for one hour and let the battery fall till it reaches 90% and charge again.
do you mean such methode to extend battery life??
the phone from my boss (i9020) charges to 100%, my (i9023) only to 96%
96% is ok, as i said, being in high voltage often kills the battery. 96% keeps it's lifespan much longer.
Being said that, even extremely low voltage kills the battery too. So usually your phone will die before the battery reach 0%
Not this again
From the FAQ post, in this very forum, which should be read before posting a new thread:
Q: I unplugged my phone, and my battery dropped from 100% to 95% immediately, or it won't/takes along time to charge past 99%, what gives?
The answer leads to this informative article about what your battery gauge is telling you, and why 100% is probably not what you want ...

While I thank you for your reply and linking to that article, that is a related issue but not exactly the same. The usual behaviour is for the battery to indicate a 100% charge and then drop to a lower level, as you bolded in your post. The behaviour I'm talking about is it never going over 95%.
Not a big difference, but enough to notice the change and ask about it. Don't you think?
I myself own a GT-I9020T & have never seen the charge levels exceed beyond 95%.
You are right, your description is subtly different than the post in the FAQ. I have to admit laziness in assuming that they would be one and the same 'problem' ... apologies if they're not.
Well, you did give useful info even though you thought it was an old, tired question. I can't see a reason to give apologies there
Turn the tethering on while charging; it'll charge the battery up to 100%
I think my Vibrant had the same issue / feature. It's probably a Samsung feature and not a bug.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Mine hits 100pct sometimes but will always stop charging until it drops below 90. A good feature to save the battery. Makes 0 sense for it to be charging every time it drops 1pct for hours at night while on the charger.
I'm wondering if people seeing a difference in the overall charge cap is a matter of rom? I've been using cm for practically ever but I know some people are on stock. I'm sure it's possible something is modded in there to make sure it hits 100 before it stops.
Just a thought.
On nexus s with stock rom I was able to charge to 100%

maybe thats the problem, because the phone of my friend also charges to 100% (completly stock) mine only to 96% (NSCollab)
This is probably a subject that is widely thought about. I haven't really gotten a straight answer for this. Is overcharging bad for the GS3's battery? If so why?

I am not sure it's even possible to "overcharge" a battery. As soon as your battery hits 100%, your phone should be running off the A/C adapter.
The phone won't overcharge. You can leave it plugged in as long as you want
After the battery hits 100%, I think the phone automatically trickle charges. Letting it drop to like 95% and then charging it back up to 100%. Correct me if I am wrong.

Correction is 90% to 99%, never hits 100%, and the phone will shut off at around 5% true capacity, it reads as completely dead to the OS.
Overcharging is a problem more commonly associated with Nickel-based batteries. It takes legitimate circumvention efforts to overcharge Lithium-ion based batteries.

Hi,
i have few noob questions, hope get help.
1. is it need charge for 8hours for 1st time after purchased the mobile?
2. is it need keep the battery with full at all time / daily even not below red percentage?
3. some people said Li-ion battery have no memory so can be charge anytime any percentage (even not under red percentage). is it true?
3. whats the best solution for battery calibration? daily or monthly? or when needed?
thx for helps!!!

1)discharge the battery and then plug it in the charger
2)it is not necessary
3)don't do it.discharge the battery at least below 14%(it will always notify for low battery) and then charge it
4)AFAIK battery calibration is a myth

3. but some "expert" people said not necessary to charge it even not below 14%. can be charge anytime.
4. is it necessary or depend on user? coz what we use n charge to the battery is same like calibration? like what u said discharge till 14% below n charge it full again...

My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note I717, which is now on its last legs.
Its battery bulges, it doesn't hold a charge for very long, and frequently crashes, only to reboot thinking the battery is empty.
Apparently, my habit of leaving my phone plugged into my computer may be at fault.
I'd like to do better with my OPO, especially since its battery is not replaceable.
What advice do you recommend to maintain best battery health for the OnePlus?
This forum has already many links regarding battery life but i would advice to charge before you reach under 40%, let the battery discharge below 5% atleast once a month and never leave it to charging overnight.

i always had my phones at charger over night. it didn't any harm.
I also (still have my i717 Note) , had the bulging battery (hint ? buy a new battery!) , as far as battery life goes there lots of way to improve it , apps like FaceBook need to be shut down everytime your not on it! Try running your phone all day without a bloater like fb and see the difference , I use DU battery app works well and helps you learn about the battery! My oPo is the best phone Ive ever had hands down , if you have 4.4.4 try switching to ART from Dalvik in the developers menu , you should see a difference in the battery !

Maybe no harm that you noticed, but it does in fact do harm. The longer a lithium battery spends at its peak voltage (100%, 4.2v), the faster the battery will degrade. Leaving your phone on charge overnight means the device is sitting at peak voltage for hours. This affects your long term battery life.

Wow I've been doing that all my life. Is there anyway for the phone to stop charging when it reaches 100? I just like to go to sleep and wake up to full battery ready for the day.

Don't let the device sit at 100% on the charger (no charging overnight).
Do frequent small top-up charges, lithium batteries perform best with this type of charge (try to keep it above ~40%).
As another member suggested you should allow the device to discharge to at least the low battery warning, followed by a full charge to 100%, about once every 40 charge cycles (roughly once a month is fine).
Try not to use apps/games that are battery intensive whole the device is charging.

I'm really not sure. I think the best idea is just to do a charge in the evening before bed, the battery has such a large capacity, and the Snapdragon 801 is excellent at just sipping away at the juice, that you'll reach the end of the next day with no problems.

The phone charges so quickly too, so it's all done within 90 mins.

How serious is this?
If I'm doing a lot of work over ADB, or using the USB to transfer a lot of data, should I unplug once the phone hits full charge?

The less time the device sits at 100%, the better. That doesn't mean you can never have it at 100%, just avoid it.

My device MOTO G4 plus 32GB.
My battery suddenly fall from 43% to 0% and switch off the device. And when i plug the charger and turn on again the battery remains at 43%. Unlikely my battery charging speed becomes faster than usual. But 100% is around only for 1.30 hrs. And battery indicator says 2hrs left or 1 hrs left. Now i have 36% and it says28 min left which is not normal. Do i have to change a new battery or is there any usefull tips.

I'd say your battery is dying. Happened to my last phone, started dropping fro 20% to 0% very quickly, then started dropping from 40%. Time for replacement battery I believe.
