[Q] Battery charge problem

I have battery charge problem.
I charge (on USB) my NS about 7 hours (during I sleep), after wakeup I check charge status it was "Charged", after that I unlock and goto home screen to check battery again.It was 100% so after that I unplug charger.
The battery level was drop to 97% immediately.
Is my NS got hardware problem?
Thank you and sorry for my English.
Normal problem out it will be fixed soon

i think ive read that it helps the battery last longer.
Also, ive been experiencing some other problems with charging my phone.
When its plugged into my wall and charging, instead of increasing battery percentage as it should, it will decrease in battery percentage, really strange. I'm not sure if its the battery or my charger? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Did XDA NS have list of problem on 2.3.2 and 2.3.3
Sorry I found that forum
That 97% is a common problem? Man... I've been trying to recalibrate my battery the whole week...
They don't need to limit the charge to 97% to make the battery last longer. They can just lower the Full Charge limit without doing this awkward 3% drop after unplugging the charger.
thank you for all answer

My understanding is that this isn't a result of a lowered full charge limit but rather the way that LiOn batteries charge: once they reach full capacity they stop charging until they reach a bottom limit (Not sure what it is on the NS but on the Evo it was 90%) at which point they begin charging again. They do this because LiOn batteries do not absorb charge past 100% but they do absorb the heat from the charge. Over time this over heating can cause issues. There is another method of charging wherein the battery charges to full and then the amount of voltage is slowed but is continued. This method is called trickle charging and awhile back on the Evo it was all the rage until reports started to trickle in of batteries smoking or even catching fire due to overheating. Hence the reason why trickle charging is not standard.

[Q] Calibrating battery

I'm trying to calibrate my NS (i9020T) because it seems like battery drains quite fast after frequent flashing ROMs. Last time I calibrated was about 4 months ago.
But the problem is that it won't charge beyond 99%. It used to charge up to 100% before if I leave the screen on.
But don't I need to get battery % to 100% (that's what calibration app says)..?
How can I get it back to 100% charge?
Thanks!

Not sure if it works ffor ns, but drain your battery, go to data/system and delete batterystat or something along those lines and reboot. Let it charge for awhile and it should go to 100% . If it works you don't need to calibrate anymore as that's how normal apps calibrate.

drain your battery, delete the batterystats.bin, reboot, then charge all the way. chances are is that you had to wait a bit longer for it to hit 100%. when i charge my phone to 100, sometimes it takes an hour to go from 99 to 100%. be patient, if that 1% is worth it. the more you play with your phone between 99 and 100%, the longer it will take.

I waited 5 hours but it was still at 99%. I had to leave home so I couldn't charge any longer...
So drain it first, delete batterystats.bin, and it should charge to 100%? Because the app I downloaded says, charge it to 100% then delete batterystats.bin.. etc.

you must had something running in the background. believe me, the different between 99 and 100 is almost non-existant
The last 10-20% trickles in. 5hours is way too long though. What does your voltz read bc you can have a full charge as far as voltz go but may be getting a faulty % reading on the charge.
If you use the apk make sure you don't power off or you will regenerate the battstat through normal process and then the app is pointless. Try charging overnight and see if you can get to 100%.
Fyi/beware draining your battery to 0 is not good. Some batteries and phones have a hard time getting through first boot when there is little to no charge in the battery. Whenever I use the calibration apk, I never go below 10%. Anything below that can cause some funk.
I drained it all the way and deleted batterystats.bin, charged it all the way back overnight, but it doesn't go over 99% for many hours. I stopped all the services I could possible (kept only the essentials)...
Current Charge: 99%
Voltage: 4.176 mV

4.176 mV is fully charged.

So it's simply misinterpretation of the battery that it doesn't read 100%?
Well, I started calibrating about an hour ago. I thought it shouldn't matter too much.

Yes your phone sometimes gets out of sync with its self and starts thinking that its fully charged or fully discharged when its not. The way I typically calibrate my battery is to turn it off and let it charge until it stops (this is easy to see since the screen lights up and the battery shown on the screen stops unfilling and refilling). I then unplug it and boot it up. Again, shut it down and plug it in and let it charge until it thinks its full. Again, turn it on this time letting it charge to what it thinks is full while on. Finally restart into CWM and use its too for wiping battery stats. After all that I also like to let it die before I plug it in again.

i get 4195-4196 as a full charge. once i hit 4197.

[Q] battery takes 2X time to charge after flashing the ROOM??

Hello everybody,
to begin with i must say that my phone's battery used to take 2 to 3 hours max to charge from wall charger but now since i flashed the ROM and it has been acting so weird when charging. I have monitored the charging time and found that
after 1hr the battery goes to 50 %
after 3 hrs its up to 70%
after 5 hrs its up to 89%
then after being on charge for 6 hrs its fully charged !!!
p.s the battery lasts the normal time it used to.
so what's going wrong here?
your help is much appreciated!
You're using the same charger right? I believe aftermarket chargers are slower and suck!

Yes its the same original charger!!
The only suggestion I have now is to double check if it's really because of the rom?
Try using another rom for a day or so and see if it also takes you that long to recharge. Don't restore apps or anything yet either! (could be an app causing it, however that's unlikely) Mine only takes long to charge if I'm using too much stuff while charging it.
It is normal. Charge voltage is lowered when reaching 70% (or 80%, you can check it at battery stats) and then even lower when almost full until it is really 100%, not to harm the battery pack. Your previous cycles only semmed faster, the more you use your phone the better your battery stats will be.
If you wiped battery stats before, it could be another reason for strange figures.
Most importantly, if you want to have a good battery life on the long run, dont fully discharge/charge it.

[Q] Battery charging issue

My phone charges steadily till around 75% to 80%. After that charging speed becomes very slow. It takes almost 2 hours to reach 100% from 80%. Also the charge value remains steady at any random level for a long time and then suddenly jumps 3-4% in one second. If I reboot the phone anytime when the charge is more than 80%, then on rebooting the phone suddenly shows 100% charge!
I tried various battery monitoring apps from the market and all report battery condition to be 'good'. I have done the 'full charge - full discharge' cycle many times. Is this how all HTC Sensation's charge?
MY XE only goes to 99%. Tried to wipe battery stats but still only up to 99%.
Do you charge while connected to a computer or directly from the socket? Both methods behave very different in my experience. You should try the other one, to see what it does.
Edit: Also, what voltage do you end up with after charging to 100%?

I charge from the ac mains socket. Voltage I will have to see. I havent given it particular attention but I will check and report back.

[Q] About battery

So guys i just bought this phone few days ago, and the first charge was only untill 96% and then i unplugged it, because its take too long... is this can cause some problem to my battery? or is it still safe??

Did you use the original charger and cable? Of you don't use those you'll experience slow charging. Charging only to 96% won't have any bad effects on your battery.

so youre saying that my battery is still normal?
and btw yeah i use the original cable and charger, now i can charged to 100% after i let my phone die (0%) and then charge it uninterrupted overnight (like about 6hours)
thank you for the answer!

Yes the battery should be perfectly ok. Sometimes the calibration can be a bit off but you've charged to 100% now it's all good.
I don't think charging your phone to 96% or whatever will cause any damage to your battery and why would it?

hey i have another question, this thing have been in my head for a while now i just wanted to make it clear for me
for example i have 80% of battery then charged it untill 85% and then unplugged it and use it for a while until drop to lets say 80% again, and then charged it again to 85%
is that also safe to do?
i just did that when unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery, seems like my battery been draining pretty fast after that..
sorry if this noob question annoy you, i just want to make it clear

That's perfectly fine with a lithium battery. Small top-up changes are actually preferred. It isn't recommended you let the phone fully discharge very often, it also isn't recommended to keep it at peak voltage (100%) for very long (try not to charge overnight). A lithium battery is at its healthiest within the 40%-80% range. So yeah, top-up charges are perfectly fine. About every 30-40 charge cycles (roughly once a month is fine) you should do a calibration by discharging almost fully (from 100%), then charging back to 100%.
