[Q] Battery charging

This thing bother's me. It has good sides though but, when i bought our unit and the first time i charged it, it took 4 hours of charging after discharging 100%, quite long. Then after using it, experimenting on cRoms, kernels, im charging it with just one hour or less? Why is it? Am i charging my battery at 100% really? Does calibrating the battery will do something coz i haven't tried yet. Is it normal?
Thanks a lot guys.
Using poseidon's rom UC kernel v8 200-1.2ghz lionheart/sio.

Uhhh I don't think its normal. Its way too fast. Battery calibration may help, but I don't think it will as the myth has been debunked. Maybe flashing a new kernel may help. How much battery life do you get?

Oh sorry sir. Maybe just my imagination or just busy that i did'nt noticed the hour, the problem is solved. Yesterday i have 50% i charged it with 2 hours before getting 100% so it means 4 hours = 100%. my fault.

Huge battery drain. Really need help

Hello everyone.
I have a very serious problem with battery drain on my SGS3. Every rom I use, every kenel I use, even with stock firmware, I have 16% or sometimes bigger drain in 8 hours at night when I'm sleeping. It was not like that before I rooted my phone. I've tried like 4 roms, ICS, JB, even stock, but the same thing is happening. Please give me some advices. I've ran BetterBatteryStats and it shows that l2_hsic and multipdp is making big drain, also google maps and facebook. Should I try freezing these apps? Usually the drain happens when I reboot my phone after a single charge with AC or USB cable. If I just disconnect my phone from charging after charge, there's no any drain, it's like 1% drained per 5 hours whatever I do, but if I reboot my device after charge, it drains immidiately. Please help!

probably battery gone I had same problem with my SII

Battery issue after 4.1.2 update

Recently I've updated my Note through OTA to 4.1.2.
I've spot that after update the Note is just draining the battery.
I could read about 10 hours on it before, and now it is only about 6 !!!!!
I even do not mention gaming, which is draining the battery in 2.5-3h from 100% to about 5%. I could play approx. 5-6 hours before.
It's ridicules.
Did any of you spot the same thing?
I haven't installed any additional apps after update that may "help" to discharge the battery.
The values above are based on Screen usage time in Battery menu.
Any suggestions?

After the update, I'm facing recharging issues. The tab is taking twice the time of what it used too to recharge to 100%.

i haven't spot any issues with charging.
.

Same here.Used to get 10 hours of screen on time,now i am lucky if i get 8 hours!

Same here...
Some tips :
Kill all apps, switch to offline/airplane, and power saving mode when charging..
Still not working?
Try reboot your device once or twice if necessary..
And your device will charge normally
Work on my gnote...
I hope it will work for you too
Correct me if i'm wrong

Im using juice defender with good results, I lost a pretty noticeable amount of battery time after 4.1.2, too.

Maybe a problem with the battery stats?
Try to drain the battery empty and full charge afterwards.

It will damage the lithium battery when you drain it till empty

I think it is Wi-Fi that drains the battery !!!!
Usually I was leaving the tablet with wi-fi on all the time. After 4.1.2 update it takes approx 2% of battery per hour !!!!!!!!!! when you do not use the tablet but wi-fi is on, so after night in the drawer you had approx 10-15% drained.
When I turned the wi-fi off and left it overnight i haven't loose even a 1% during the night !!!!!
I have to try to work on it as usual but with wi-fi turned off, it will be difficult though as usually i play on-line or browsing the net
I think they f#^%*d something in 4.1.2 update with wi-fi energy consumption. hope they will repair it in next update.

I mean, just let the device turn off by itself, and after that, charge 100%.

Yeah, I had this problem after I updated too. It was also laggy. I did a factory erase and now it works better. I think it is still draining more than before, but not as bad as after I updated. I think a good rule of thumb is to wipe everything after an update and start all over. You could also try wiping and flashing the rom for a fresh install.

I suggest you to change your rom to germany stock 4.1.2...
It will solve your charging problem

Strange battery stats.

Hi, my phone battery keeps messing up. I have done a battery calibration but it still seems to mess up.
The main problem is that the battery runs out, 10 mins later I have like 3 percent battery, then that runs out so I start to charge it, it charges up to around 20 percent then it jumps to around 60 percent.
By the way I have terrible battery life too - maybe 1 to 2 hours of use before running out.
Edit - I didn't say this but I am on albinoman887's cm10.1 rom.

I'm facing a similar issue, and changing Kernels doesn't seem to help either.
Things have gotten slightly better now in today's build. If updating doesn't help then you should try staying in an older build, the last where the issue was not present.

I don't think its the ROM's issue. Even by itself, after reboot I gain a few % of battery but those deplete quickly.
And then while charging. I restart, from 20% to 60% is possible too. So its not recommended restarting while charging.
Full charge then calculate drain pattern.

I have similar problems. My phone also shuts down very often. When I turn it on again it shows strange readings like 0%, 11% etc. If I reboot my phone it might either stick with the percentage it showed before, not boot at all, or jump back to 80% or so. However, it never takes long before it shuts down again. Even happens sometimes when using my charger...
Chances of my phone shutting down instantly are nearly at a 100% when using the flash while taking a picture.
I don't know what to think in terms of whether or not this is a software or hardware issue as many other people have similar problems, all on different roms and kernels.
Currently I am on:
Firmware build: 3.33
Kernel: Sultan Kernel r21
Rom: JBMIUIv4.1 #3.3.1

about battery percentange when chraging it's a commonn htc issue
i have the same too
no one has found a solution for it yet

Do you all get bad battery life too? Because I don't seem to get a very long battery life.

No. The battery life on Albino's builds has been nothing short of fantastic for most. You might consider replacing your battery if it's the original stock one. It's bound to be wearing out by now.

I have just bought an anker battery so I will see how it fairs vs he original battery.

I believe its something that occasionally happens when u change a rom and kernel. I remember theres somewhere where u can reset battery stats....i think in clockwork...

In fact, kernel and ROM do affect battery life, search for what fits your cell phone the best.
I get amazing battery life on ViperS 1.6.3 and the latest Faux + Yank555's kernel besides TurboBoost MOD... These can make up a great combination

I dont think they affected the rom so much as to ruin the battery or drain it faster. Charge the battery and reset stats 90% i bet it works.

I have had this problem through numerous roms so i have put it down to the phone and not the software.

R: Strange battery stats.
It can happen at any point if u ever flashed a not-so-secure or old rom.
Once the battery percentages, for any reason, get corrupted, theyre gonna stick to being corrupted no matter how many flashes u try.
Really its not that difficult u just have to press a button (i believe, as i said, in clockwork but im not sure) and all that will happen is when phone reboots battery will get reanalyzed and resynced, nothing else gets modified. might save ur day.

You are describing 'battery calibration'. Its complete urban legend hogwash. It does absolutely nothing.
Wiping the battery stats has no effect whatsoever on battery performance. Those stats get wiped every time you charge the phone to 100%.
However, you can improve the battery reporting by charging to 100%, then draining all the way to 0%, then charging all the way back to 100% again without rebooting (other than after it shuts off at 0%). This is not calibration. Its just running the battery through a full charge and discharge cycle. This helps to stabilize how the draining is reported. It does nothing to actually make the battery last longer.

Then please explain how I can drain my battery to 0% if my phone shuts off every minute. As long as I keep the charger plugged in, my phone will function like it should. However, as soon as the charger gets disconnected, it's only a matter of minutes before the screen goes blank and my phone shuts itself off without notice. Then when I reboot, chances are that either 1) it won't even boot and shut itself down at the splash screen 2) it's gonna give me a strange battery reading and shut itself off again after 10 seconds of activity. So how am I supposed to drain my battery if I can't even get it to drain, because it constantly shuts itself off?

The stock battery that comes with the Sensation is known to have this problem. I experienced this problem quite often before I was rooted; a new 1900mAh battery remedied the issue. Here is proof that this isn't software related: after becoming extremely frustrated with the lags and random reboots of my recently ICS-updated Sensation, I decided to do a factory reset. The phone restarted normally with all data wiped and everything seemed like normal again. So I was just sitting there happily with my phone at 50% battery. I decided to open the browser to go and browse the web, and the phone was quite goo- BOOM! RANDOM REBOOT! After my phone finished rebooting, it was at 4% battery!
Moral of the story: HTC doesn't know how to make batteries. Buy a third party battery like Anker.

battery life varies from phone to phone, kernel to kernel and rom to rom. but your battery behavior sounds exceptional.
Like stated previously, wiping battery stats in recovery (Battery Calibaration does exactly the same on rooted phones) has never proved me to be efficient. Random shutdowns occur when the phone isn't recieving enough juice from the battery, the demand in voltage will exceed the CPU's capacity and the phone shuts down to prevent damage.
here's something you can try and it worked for me. I used to have random shutdowns and poor battery life aswell.
Wedge a piece of paper, like 0,5-1mm thick, between the upper right corner of your battery, and the battery housing. This way the battery will be presses firmly against the 4 contact pins. Also make sure the contacts are clean.
maybe it's just a battery issue. What does the battery info section say about the condition of the battery?

My anker battery arrived 2 to 3 days ago and it seems to have stopped all problems with the battery.
Thanks for all the suggestions though. I will refer back to this thread if any other problems arise.

[Q] Sudden battery drop in official jb leak

Hi..
I know this is a known bug in jb leak 1, but is there a fix for the sudden drop in battery level?
Daily as soon as the battery level reaches 30, there's a drop of 10%.
I already tried clearing battery stats from recovery but still no luck..

Like you said, it's a known bug. Even the custom 4.1.2 ROMs like MagicMod and CM10 have a similar issue. With those two the battery reading will go from 19% to 1% really quick but stay at 1% for over an hour sometimes. It's not a problem with the battery, it's just the way those ROMs report the battery reading (that's part of the reason why clearing battery stats doesn't help). AFAIK there was never a fix for that.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.

Happens with me too using dirty unicorn with jbx. As soon as I get to around 30% it just drops to 19

There is no solution for that I'm afraid as the same thing happens on custom roms and stock with the 1% battery feature. It's been happening for a long time so it's nothing new.

Samsung chargers I believe have more voltage supplied during charging. That's why it charges up quickly. While laptop doesn't give out that much of voltage.

I once have battery drop but only around 5%.. 24%-19%.. but now it seems fine.. I use leak 3 as daily drive.. I think it depends on charge cycle.. if u charged a lot and your phone are used to the pattern then your battery cycle won't be messy with sudden drop..
