hi
I wanted to ask did anyone notice the same problem on their nexus 5
after i fully charged my battery, i unplug and left the screen off and put it aside. The battery drained from 100% to 90% in just like 30 minutes. But then the battery drained so much slower (like only 5% for the whole 11pm to 7am) after the battery level was below 90%
Did anyone had the same problems?
did i need to change my battery

I go out at night mostly so by the time i leave the house my phones battery is about 75% full. I have the LG G2x. My question is sometimes before i leave i'll see that it's 75% full so i'll charge it back to 100% before i leave. Does charging the phone without it being drained damage the battery? should i just leave it alone next time i go out? sorry if this is already a thread just point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
You're not damaging your battery But if you never drain the battery completely, i'm not sure how good the battery will be after 6 month, so i recommend you drain it completely every couple of weeks.

There are several opinions about keeping battery health for more time. Recharging at 75% is not one of them, but it's not the worth of it.
Here's what i know and what i've heard:
* some manufacturers (laptops) have software that don't allow the battery to charge when it's over 80 to 90% - they say it helps on battery life
* it's common sense that you should recharge when you have 20 - 40% and do a full cycle once in a while (this is what i do)
In my opinion, charging only 25% of the charge in a regular basis will not really help to keep battery life...
I've personally had the best performance from batteries when I let them discharge as much as possible and then charge them to full without interruption.
some have also said that draining the battery too often can also damage it, is this correct?
They like to be ran down then recharged but not all the way down to nothing unless you are having a problem with bat life on a rom

Yes. You should not drain your battery all the time. Use normally, charge it when below 40% and yes, charge it back to full - that's the ideal thing.

+1 that is the best way. Li-on batteries should'n be drained completly because it can shorten their life.
I read somewhere that it is not important when you start charging your battery (20%, 60%...) but it's important that it finishes to charge up to 100% every time
I heard/read that LI-ION batter is good to charge when cap goes bellow 30%.
I'm aware that not many of you are looking into specific threads in Accessories section so I'm putting my problem also here. I will be grateful for any help.
I bought 2x Chichitec batteries for Evo3D (this is probably the same Chichitec product as for Sensation).
I put in Chichitec battery (the phone showed about 59%), I discharged it till the phone switched off (noticed slightly better life than stock). Then I plug in charger and charged the phone for about 8 hours (much longer than charging to 100%). Then I unplugged, went to Recovery and deleted battery stats. Now the phone started to discharging much QUICKER than on stock battery! In about 14 hours of practically zero use, the battery went down to 8% and... it was on 8% for 7 hours! When the phone finally switched off I charged it again for 8 hours, unplugged and again, the battery life is very weak - 20% in 6 hours of idle (I was sleeping).
I haven't installed anything or turned on any setting, which could cause more draining.
Did I do something wrong? It appears that it has much worse life than stock battery and suddenly it works for several hours at the same % level... What can I do to make the phone show correct battery % level? Or is this Chichitec battery poor?
Anyone?

could be a faulty battery... the resistance could be slightly less... there is a couple of things that arn't phone related however let it run for a few days and allow the stats to be built up again
Hey guys,
I replaced the battery in my N5 because it was dying insanely fast (like 1.5 hrs SOT and 8 hrs uptime). The battery lasts quite well now (certainly much better than before), but it drops from 100% to 85% really quickly before discharing as normal.
I think my phone just doesn't really know the right percentages anymore - is there any way I can reset this software wise, or is it hardware? I know wiping the battery stats .bin file is controversial, so I wanted to see if there's an actual way to do this that's proven to work
any help would be awesome
Try letting it drain til it shuts off. Then charge it fully while still off. When it's full, unplug and turn it on and see how it goes.
If you still have issues, travel to the battery help thread in my signature and read the first 4 posts. You can post the recommended screen shots there too for help. ?
When do you unplug the charging device, is it right as it hits 100% or does it sit on the charger for a while afterwards (say overnight)?
I bought a new battery for my oneplus one from vifocal.com and I think its original battery. The battery seems to be very poor. I use my phone for 1,5 hours from which the screen is on for about 1 hour and the battery has drained down to 50%. Yesterday as my phone went to zero I turned it on in recovery mode to keep the screen on as long as possible to really kill the battery and the screen stayed on for at least 2 hours. How is that possible if the battery indicator shows already 0%. Anyways I believe the battery drops down to 0% even really there is a lot of juice in the battery. Is there anyway to calibrate the battery so it would show the correct percentage and is there anyway to tell how big is the battery really? whether I got a fake one or not. thanks

I've had an opposite issue few times - phone was shutting down while it was show that it still had battery (20% was the worst case). I fixed it by discrharging fully, then letting the phone charge all trough the night. this was the recommendation that I found on OPO forums from someone from their team.
Hi all,
My phone drained 14 percent battery yesterday while idle for 9 hours. The interesting thing is when i add the mAh usages that i see in battery and performance tab it only adds up to 6 percent battery usage. ( i calculated and confirmed with time that 40 mah is aproximately 1% battery)
Also this morning i am seeing an unusual drain as well while the screen is on, it drained 5% but it should have draned only 3% because it says it drained 138 mAh.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
This also happened 2 weeks ago and the only thing common both days were, i charged my phone slower (charged using usb on the car) instead of using fast charging.
I also leave the screen shots that shows the battery usage.
Put the phone into Airplane mode when idle: this may save some battery.

yes of course but the battery drain I explained sometimes happens I actually think its a battery indicator bug. Because it shouldn't be draining this much battery because it doesn't show any unusual drain on battery information screen contradicting the percentage lost (14% battery was drained but according to battery information screen it should be 6%)
