[Q] Battery Calibration? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, just wanted to make a quick question regarding the battery.
I have had the note 10.1 for a long time and I've never let it go below 15%. However, I also own an iphone 5s and apple recommends that we let it drain to 0% once every month in order for its battery to calibrate. Does the same apply for my tablet?
Thanks

Thanks. I will try doing that because I've never done it before in a whole year though I can't say that i'm not pleased with the battery.
I will also download that app to try it.What happens when you erase the battery stat with that app?
Honestly, I read a lot on this and a lot of people tell me that I should calibrate it while others say that it is a bad idea...

If you use "Battery calibration" app, It will erase /data/system/batterystats.bin and restart to make battery stat. So Use it with 100% battery and use your device with no charge until battery percent go to 0% and Off. Then Charge the device until battery go to 100%.
It's more effective than using without wiping batterystats.bin file.

looks like ur battery got corrupted..
but bfr rplacing batt , b sure of it..
Wait for a few battery cycles after draining the battery, don't interrupt the charging, when the phone says fully charged turn it off but keep in charging. A battery icon will appear and when the battery icon has 100% written on it, then the battery is actually full.
Also try using the non-overclocked version of kyrillos' ROM. It may solve some of the battery drain problems since the CPU is not working at insane speeds (insane for our phones anyway ).

Battery Calibration in SGT3 7"

Hi guys, i've some problems here. I flashed the Infamous Rom in my tab, and, even if in the post said that battery calibration would be needed because the tab won't recognize well the battery, i've done the process two or three times and i can't fix it, i've 1% of battery for 18 hours hahaha. The battery endurance it's not affected at all but it's annoying because the screen turns darker when the battery percentage it's below the 5% and i use the tab for reading. Anybody had the same problem? please help me!

It's easy you need only a small screwdriver (precision screwdriver for electronic repairs) and your nails. Through the Micro SD slot you can pull out the rear case with some patience, then you will see the battery and you can take it after extracting the screws on its corners. Wait for five minutes or something with the battery out, insert it again and assemble all the stuff and the problem with the battery draining and "auto charging" will be solved :laugh:

[Q] Battery stats show android OS as 99% consumer

It was a one-time event. The battery was not draining faster, but in the graph it showed this(see screenshot below). Any ideas? I'm on stock rom with stock kernel
Battery stats screw up from time to time. Reboot / recharge. It will come right in the end

That's quite normal if you have not used the phone in that period.
The android os has consumed 99% of the the battery drain of 24% and not 99% of the total battery capacity. When the phone is on the android os is always running and will obviously use the battery.
It is obviously a screwup, cause I used the phone, and usually screen consumes the most. A fully recharge resolved the issue

Eh?
Just edit the title to put "[resolved]" or something. Topics don't get "closed" and don't need to be. Moderators have more important things to be doing.

What more do you need to know other than sometimes it happens? It's a bug, it happens from time to time for as long as I can remember.

better check what you're doing with your device, than contacting Help, they will not make your battery usage better lol.
Moto G has brilliant battery life, if used right.
And yes, the advice that guy gave you is fine, as long as you never used your battery and wanna reach max voltage of the cell.

Do you have your brightness cranked all the way up? That'll drain your battery pretty quickly. Looking at your stats that's the only thing I can think of since your screen is using so much battery.
