I have installed Infused ROM, still the charging time is same as before. Is there a way to decrease my charging time?
TIA
NO
NO there is no way to do this

So I have to handle with this 4.5 hrs of charging time
4.5? damn you must run your battery down to 5%.
Entropy's kernel uses alternative charging logic that supposedly charges faster at low battery. I don't know how effective it is, but you could give it a shot.

Are you USB charging or something? No way should it take you that long.

Yes, I am charging from 5%, Even if I charge from 50 to 100 it will take more than 2 hours.
the phone is charging 22 to 25% per hour. I dont think a phone should to such a long time.

can you tell me how can I update the kernel. I am new to android, so I am not sure with my Infused RAM, can I do this or not.

I didn't understand anything in this..
Try deleting the battery stats when you are at 100%... you can do this manually or with apps like " battery calibration" free on market, or go to system and delete batterystats.bin manually, try everything i guess.
I was having same trouble when i used to change between ROMS a lot now i decided to stick with Infused 1.6 Froyo did the "recalibration" with battery calibration app, and takes a few days for the battery stats to rebuild correctly again.
But now it hardly takes my Infuse 3 hours to FULLY charge.
And you can recharge at any point even if its on 80% or 95% if you have a power aroudn charge while not using... this batteries dont get "used" for recharging them before "time" they dont do memory you can recharge at any time.. there was a whole thread about that somewhere here on XDA sorry i cant post the link just maybe try the simple way.... recalibrate on battery calibraiton and give it a couple days to generate an accurate stats.
Also recharge while not using (working....eating...sleeping...)
If nothing works maybe... get a new battery? may be faulty i guess.
Hope it helps

Clearing battery stats does NOTHING on the Infuse, or any of the first-gen GalaxyS devices, or any other Samsung phone with the MAX8998 PMIC for that matter.

it's funny (sad?) that you need to say this over and over again every single day. you'd think people would come across another one of your posts, which are everywhere, where you said this exact same thing.
Then you need to figure out the common denominator because either your cable, charger, or you aren't doing something right.
That amount of time to charge isn't normal.
Have you also tried pulling the battery for a few minutes then charging it yourself full? Don't power down, just pull the battery.

maybe try draining the battery all the way to 0. Recharging over night interrupted. And doing it once more. Not sure it will help, but I'd try anything.

Install CurrentWidget.
In the settings, near the bottom, there are settings for "operator on value" - Set it to divide by 1.83.
Then plug in your device when it's discharged below 80%.
Currentwidget should report 600 mA if you applied the correction factor above. If it reports 1100, you forgot the "operator on value" settings.
If it reports 475 mA, your device thinks it's connected to a USB charger for some reason.

The problem is people keep on coming from other devices, and they've been trained so long by HTC devices (most of which use coulomb counter fuel gauges) that they need to "recalibrate" their battery and let it "settle in".
Note that the GSII may also require battery calibration - it does have an updated fuel gauge chipset. But ours does not.

12 to 13 % in 30 mins, ie 4 hours to full charge, that is the problem...
Is it the same with phone off and charging as with phone on
and charging
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Phone asleep and charging and phone completely off should be fine. Phone in use will take longer.
Also, the reason I said to measure at less than 80% is because as you reach 85-90%, you hit 4.2 volts and the charge circuit goes into constant-voltage mode - in this region, charging takes longer.
Measuring time to go 10-15% is WAY too inaccurate for any remotely decent estimate of total recharge time. ESPECIALLY if that 10-15% is near the top of the battery. Our fuel gauge probably has on the order of +- 3-4% error. For example, once I saw it drop 10% in 30 minutes, but then it recharged 10% in only 5 minutes. The 10% "drop" wasn't real.
I bought an Anker 1900mAh Li-ion Battery for HTC Sensation and everything seemed to work fine. Every night I switch my phone off, but on 3 separate occasions the phone battery was showing ¾ full, or there abouts, but in the morning the battery was completely drained, no power even to fire up the phone. I thought the battery was faulty so returned it and went back to my original one. However this has happened again with my original battery. ¾ full, switched off then dead in the morning.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Many thanks

If you have fast boot checked, turn it off, so at least when you shut the phone down it will be properly shut down then. See how you go.
I kinda solved my problem just by calling HTC.
Person was nice enough to walk me through all unnecessary stuff running on my Sensation.....Got my (stock) battery life to almost 2 days, Not bad at all.
If you ask me his instructions right now, total blank.....LOL
Again, I'm about to buy Anker batteries, but right now pretty satisfied with my stock battery.... 1 1/2 days worth on moderate use.
Thanks,
Tester.

It shouldnt make any difference really while the phones switched on.
I suggested turning fast book OFF because he mentions his battery is draining over night whilst the phone is switched off. When fast boot is ON the phone doesnt actually shut down completely when you turn it off, it hibernates instead.
I can also recommend the Anker battery, mines doing very well with it.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by what recovery am I on.
I should also say that although I switch my phone off every night it doesn't drain every night, It's happened on about 5 or 6 occasions.

Are you on a custom ROM? And do you us clockwork mod recovery? If you are, you need to see if you are using the correct version.
Are you charging it at night or just turning off the phone? If you are not charging it, please check to see if your syncs are not always on. That may be draining your battery. Check your settings-accounts and settings-sync. Uncheck all the htc sense sync stuff.
But if you are on stock rom, meaning software, you may need to replace your headset, it may be defective.

i read somewhere that LI-ion battery should not be fully charged..puts strain on battery...do you fully charge your phone every day?
varies with the battery and charger you are using
original charger take 2-3 hours, non-orginal takes around 3.5-4 hours
Sorry if this is considered threadjacking (I hope not!)
In case of battery drain, does installing something like Juice Defender could help? Any specific setting(s) to follow (JD free version, not Pro/Premium)?

No, not really much!
it's made for those lazy people those who don't turn off unnecesary feauture when not required.
for best battery use just one homescreen with only static widgets,no wallpaper, just one home screen,STAY MINIMAL. keep data off if not required, gps off, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen off time-15s and keep clearing often or kill apps soon after using them, if you want strict settings underclock too.
more or less those apps do same stuff i just mentioned and they take up some juice for doing that coz they always stay in background.
my battery got pregnant =)) , and I should use my phone while charging
Is good if I use such a Double power Battery?
So, I'm pretty sure I've damaged my battery. I've constantly let it get down to 0%, let it sit there way longer than I should, etc. Basically, I've just treated it poorly and have been experiencing relatively poor battery life (relative to the first month or two owning the device) despite greenifying, having low brightness, using Franco's kernel, checking BBS/Gsam, etc.
My question is, is there a way to determine the actual wear on our device's battery? If it's significant, I plan to replace it. If not, I'll just deal and look into anything else that might be causing it.
Thanks in advance!
Just as a disclaimer:
I am NOT saying my battery is not calibrated or any of that already disproven/discussed nonsense

The Nexus 5 has a Lithium-Polymer battery, if you discharge one of those COMPLETELY it'll end up dead/damaged. Probably what the OP is worried about.
The battery percentage is a calculation based on usage over time / system set battery capacity, not real capacity. When it shows 1% in Android, realistically it probably has 5-10% left. System will shut itself off before battery is harmed from excessive discharge in most cases. There are ways to disable the shutdown when it hits the calculated 0%, but obviously, such a thing is stupid and rarely done.
I'd say your battery is fine, OP.

Just don't repetitively attempt to turn the phone on again and again when it shuts itself off at calculated 0%.. that would be another way to hit actual 0% and damage the battery. (not sure if there's any protection against this, obviously not a good idea to try anyways)
But really, don't worry about damaging the battery by "draining" it to calculated 0%.
Hello,
The battery life of my Honor 6X used to last around +48hours with more than 5h screen on time, and consumes between 3-5% overnight.
However, recently the battery is not doing so well even though there is no heavy usage (on screen time around 1h30), overnight the phone consumes between 12-20% with WiFi and Data off...
Is there anything I can do to identify the issue? anyone else having the same issues?
Model number BLN-L21
Build BLN-L21C432B367
Android 7
Hi, this should be in Q&A section so ask a mod to move the thread when you'll have time.
Battery is a strong point of this phone, and reading what you wrote perfectly matches with my actual phone stats (i refer to 48h lasting, 5h SoT...) so i'll begin to ask ya some things to help you identify the issue, since that this strange and sudden change from a moment to another looks bizarre:
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update?
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using?
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way)
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not?
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...)
I know where you are coming from, I have had the same issue after the EMUI 5 update, I have to reset all settings in back up and reset options to get to the 2 day standby time every 2 weeks

Hey RedSkull23, MTjake
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update? No
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using? Yes, I didn't make any changes to the list since the problem occurred
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way) While charging, I only use the phone to check notifications, I don't really use it
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not? Yes, I let it reach 100% and I don't keep it charging overnight, I did notice that once it reach 95% it takes much longer to reach 100%
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...) Not really

Oh damn, but the thing is, after the EMUI 5 update the standby lasted 2 day without changing anything, but my phone had 2 security updates since the EMUI 5, the first one might caused the problem, not sure though
Like for me it's like I reset the phone use it for 7 8 days the battery life is phenomenal, I use my phone for media consumption (watching videos, YouTube, iflix and stuff) and I get a good 11 hours of screen on time with 25 per cent battery remaining, then I don't know what happens and the stand by time drops to 13 hours screen on time goes down to 3 or 4 hours, then it's back to resetting the settings and it's good for a few days vice versa and this happened after the EMUI 5 update, the performance is also choppy on this version, don't know what to do have tried everything on battery optimization here but no use :/
The chances that it could be a bug increases after your answer; why don't you ask directly to Huawei/Honor if they're aware of this?
I tried but the Huawei officials in Pakistan have the same response to whatever you ask them :we are working on the updates stay tuned -_-

Doesn't work , have tried all of the stuff in the post
I am having the same issue. Battery life was very good but in last couple of weeks has gone to 3-4 hours without any great use.
Hi guys, sorry to post here after all this time, I had kind of the same problem lately but worst.
My battery wouldn't last more than half a day, with almost no screen on time ... I check battery stats, everything, doesn't look like something has changed except WiFi seems to be on all the time, when in fact it is disabled. I used to have intelligent WiFi on, but even when it's off, looks like my phone is searching for WiFi all day long.
I have done nothing, not installed a new app, no change on optimization, no nothing.
Also no root, never unlocked bootloader. Did you fix your problem and how ?
I'm in the same boat with you.
