I just replaced mine after 3 years of usage with 823 recharge cycles on original battery and %63 health. Camera was scratched after lens on it broken so replaced it too.
Here is the video of the process.

P.S. had to manually reset battery charge cycle after. Now getting over 40 hours with Oreo, just flashed pie rom, I'll see its performance this week.
You make it look so easy.
Good job brother!

Hi!
I have done the same fix to the phone. I am struggling to find how o reset the battery charge cycle. How did you do it? Is it necessary to have a rooted phone?

yes, you need rooted device.
with root explorer you should edit /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_cycle and write 0 as a value.
after reboot you'll have 0 cycles.
p.s. you may need to copy file to your internal storage, edit there and overwrite the current one. permissions must be 0644.

Solved! The app was lacking root permission.
I have managed to reset the cycles, editing the file root/efs/factoryapp/batt_discharge_level.
Lets see if the new battery will behave as it should.

I need help. I instaled the new battery, rooted the phone, reseted the battery cycles (have 5 now) but in Phone INFO app says battery health is at 79%. Is the battery the problem or have I failed to make any other necessary change?
Anyone can help me?

How you doin'? Greetings from my GT-I9000!
there was always this problem?
try with root explorer:data/system and delete batterystats.bin
if it does not work well even so it means that you have a not original battery
Same thing happened to me. They told me that the battery charging circuit was damaged. Send it to service and replaced it. I dont think this is a software related problem.
A friend had this problem too. Samsung service in Germany fixed it for free.

If you have any gingerbread rom running there, you may be suffering from a known bug (i did). Phone draws power from battery instead of charger after reaching 100%. If that's the case, either go back to a froyo rom or use one that's not Samsung based, like cyanogen. I'd take cyanogenmod 7 stable, if that's the case.
I keep having the phone turn off when I unplug it from my charger or if I don't hold the cord the right way it powers off. Now I checked the cable and the phone, the connector is fine. The other problem is I check the power level and the battery is at 100% but the moment it's unplugged it powers off again. So I replaced the battery and checked the contact pins to the battery and it's both good also.....so I am not sure what the next step is?
Can anyone please help? Also the phones never been dropped or gotten wet.
I know they keep saying that it shouldn't matter, but... might want to grab a battery calibration app or delete the battery info yourself. Alternatively, with the phone off, try to charge the battery.
Could be that the phone believes the battery is full when it's actually bone dry, and because it's disabled the charging, you're stuck whenever you aren't plugged in.
Bad battery? Is it swollen and puffy?

No, battery is good. I think the person above maybe right, if the battery is not charging because the phone is saying it's full when it's empty.

I suspect battery is bad. I just got my new OEM one from eBay for 8$.

You should try to wipe youre battery with some app, just google it, ive seen much of them.
I would suggest something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Especially since it's free. Which beats any app with 'paid' in the internal name. But hey, if you have money to throw around, the other app does claim it knows what the real level is even without wiping it.

Okay. Here's one that says it works without root and is free. Ad supported, but how long after it's done are you going to keep the calibration app?

That is exactly the cause. On my stock battery, it got all puffy and I kept getting random reboots and extremely fast battery drains. It definately is the battery and you should get it replaced. Try out this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KVTNYE/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00. Its really good

Thanks! That's kind of a relief, I thought it was a problem with the software. Hey would the battery you're suggesting need an extended cover to accommodate the size because I believe our native battery capacity is 1600 mAh.
Our native OEM battery came with 1650 mah. I recommend buying the same (just did in eBay for 8$) instead of some untrusted manufacturer sh$t.

I have had great results with the Epic 4G 1800 mah battery from Samsung. Fits with original back and works well.
Hey all,
recently I have encountered a rather big and annoying problem on my phone. It has to do with my battery. I've looked it up on xda, but nothing was really exactly like my problem.
The problem is that my battery level has gone absolutely crazy.
First, charging my phone takes many many hours. After around 5 hours it still wasn't fully charged.
Then when rebooting the phone, it magically said 100%. However, after this the phone drained extremely fast. Think around 20 percent per hour, while using it normally!
Secondly, around 40 percent the phone automatically turned off, without the usual HTC logo. When I turn it on again the battery level is suddenly 2 %. After a few times turning off and on the battery level goes up to 30 percent. This can be seen very well on the pictures.
The phone is 1,5 years old and I haven't installed a custom ROM.
Am I dealing with a broken battery or is the problem in the software?
Hi,
I'm not an expert, but I think your battery is exhausted.
But before you run buying another battery...
What charger are you using? Stock HTC or custom? If custom, what are the Voltage/Current output values?
probably your battery is dying as the above user said
or the battery it doesn't connect properly
check it

While reading on some forums about a better battery for the Sensation I haven't encountered Mugen, only Anker, which has some good reviews.
Hello,
I replaced my old battery because it lost its 30% capacity. Then I bought 2 times original Samsung Battery and 1 time a super expensive battery from Germany.
Everytime when I test it, I use only 2500-2600 mAh capacity of my Galaxy S7.
I did calibrate my battery, cleaned the gauge multiple times, reset it. It didn't help.
I just notice that my phone charge only until 4.825 V. Do you have any idee?
Maybe a problem with the apps not the battery itself?
Those apps are not 100% accurate anyway, they cannot be as you never run your battery to 0% while the app is running
I used 3 methodes to measure it. I dont think so. How is your phones fg_full_voltage value?

What is more likely? That the apps methods are not accurate, or 3 new batteries all have 2500-2600 mAh capacity?
The apps method are known to be inaccurate so you can already forget about those results
Where is the location of that file?
There is a code you can enter to reset battery stats too
dial: *#0228#
Press Quick Start
Connect Charger so phone is charging
Turn Off the phone and leave off until battery is charged to 100%
Power on phone
Battery stats should be recalibrated
I did that already, hmm the location is /sys/class/power_supply/battery/fg_full_voltage and in the same folder 2*fg_fullcapnom shows the capacity of your battery.
You can be right with the inaccurate apps, but the apps showed me the real value with a lenovo zuk z2 and galaxz s8.That's why I'm worried

eBay only sell fakes fakes and more fakes, Amazon probably too, unless you bought an original Samsung battery from Samsung there is a high chance that all those batteries are not as high capacity as advertised
My battery life is terrible with my S7 flat, so I took my phone to the Samsung Official workshop, I thought that a brand new battery will fix the problem, the technician made some tests and he tell me that although my battery was fine with 80% wearing but my battery drain issue is caused by a faulty board.

I'm pretty sure you bought the fakes ones. Try to buy your 4th battery from a Samsung service center!
My Third is not a fake one, it has 24m Warranty and is Made in German. The problem is with phone and OS. Nougat won't let you use your all battery capacity. If you dont believe me, use accubattery you will get max. 90%.

Hello everyone,
I was testing some wakelocks and I have realized that my 7pro has wrong, or I think so, battery capacity information...
First I saw it in Cpu-z.. which is know to have wrong readings.. it says 2915mah(it is not current capacity)
Then I got curious and checked in
Sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
There my capacity is 3177000 or 3177mah...
Respectively battery is not lasting as it should... I had a feeling that 1/3 is missing..
So my question/request is
How to change that parameter, I have no programing experience.. I have tried through adb shell but it always reverts, even with permissions.
If someone can help ... I would be more than grateful.
Anyone?
mine says 3794
That is where the capacity is reported, not set. You can't program out battery decay, lol. How long have you had the phone? Is it a carrier device?
Well I know,but on some earlier models s7e for example there was a xml that you could modify..
It is sim free device 6 months old... There is no acctual way for battery with normal.usage and charge cycles... which I did... to degrade so much...

Mine is reporting 2342 I've had the phone less than 8 months I think... And I barely get above 1 day standby/4hrs SOT now.
Well yeah that is why u think somehow it is getting wrong information... I can change Roms now because of work... But I did flash Smurf kernel... And tried "battery Calibration," there must be the way for rom to recognize battery capacity.. I mean to input it... How to change it I don't know.. I have tried numerous ours of Googling.. but still blind shoots... I know what should be done.. but not how.. that is why I am asking for help.
Try battery current info
Here is it with that one, but I think it only does the simple math... Reading design capacity, and calculating according to the bat %...
Also there is this...
HW info with root
adb shell dumpsys batterystats > batterystats.txt with cmd.
or on the device with terminal: su ,grant root than: dumpsys batterystats, Although it will be harder to read
Search for "Capacity"

There is nothing to do other than submit a return ticket for a battery replacement the battery is degraded exactly what I'll be doing with mine as it's showing just a little over 2000mah that's unheard of degradation in under a years worth of usage something is off with these batteries.
Well that would be nice if I could... This degradation is equal to 2 years or more of havy usage.... Thanks... I thought it is maybe missread info I am pretty pissed since I changed my brand new s10+ for this phone with my friend who bought it...
Thanks everyone.. if someone has an idea let me know
