Question GW4 44mm battery won't charge past 88% - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Went to charge my watch this morning. It showed fully charged while the watch was powered on. I rebooted the watch, and left it on the charger.
It was showing 88% charged.
Rebooted again, still showing 88% charged, 29 minutes until full.
It's been plugged in for at least 20 minutes and the percent hasn't changed.

on watch 4 in the dialer write this code *#0228# and do the battery calibration

Just did that. It was showing the battery percent was at 53%.
I am charging it again now to see what will happen.
Any ideas why it would report being stuck at 88%?

Is it worth factory resetting and trying again? I have some stuff disabled via ADB, but IDK why the battery would just start doing that today if the disabled stuff was messing with it.

That is good to know. I am about to sign off from work for the day, but will wear the watch and see what happens.
I wonder if it is actually charging to 88%, or it is just misreading the percentage?
There was an update to the Galaxy Watch 4 plugin yesterday, could that be causing issues?

how long have you got the watch because as soon as I got it on August 16th I had problems reading the correct% and I solved it by doing cycles and calibrations

do not discharge the battery reaches a maximum of 20% and put it under charge

I got it on Monday. So, today is day 4. Should I just let the battery fully die and then recalibrate it?

Go back to wipe it, do a ****ty setup so no real personal in for is there, charge it and take it back to store and show them, and ask for a swap or refund
there is usually a 7 day test period for most warranties
even if you lost your slip you can bring the packaging along

Thanks for the info. I order it from Samsung. I'm going to mess with it for a few days, and if it doesn't improve, I'll take that route.

Okay no problem, You can try draining and charging 3 times repeated if no fix then battery or battery module is faulty

the batteries are damaged when they are completely discharged it must do a few cycles from 20% to 100%

[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
Temperature: 33.0c

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.

Is there any way to calibrate the battery again?

After buying the phone (factory charged) my girlfriend and I plugged the Chacha into the computer for a while to transfer songs and some files. Then we ran the battery down to empty by playing some angry birds and left it to charge until green (around 6-7 hours i think)
Should we not have plugged it in at all and let it run down? I didnt think it would be a problem since my Optimus One can calibrate the battery any time but I just read that not all Chachas are rootable. Havent found out if hers is rootable though...
Is there a way to recalibrate the battery as of right now?
Wait, what?
What do you mean by recalibrate the battery? For how long do you have the phone?
We bought it yesterday but thinking back to what the guy said before we left, i think we screwed up somewhere by charging it for 20 mins (while transferring data) then letting it run out of power, then charging for 6 hours until the light went green.
Should we have let it run out of power then charged for 6 hours straight until the light went green? And to top it all off, the phone has the dumb Dialer bug Hope FastReboot helps with that since no root access means no apps that can restart the phone with the one touch.
Well first of all calibration, if the guy had any idea what he was talking about means to discharge your phone 'till it's off then charge it for min 8hrs. But this process hasn't been used since smartphones came into the scene.
The calibration now is performed after a few charge/discharge cycles. Also if you plan to charge your phone, use the provided power plug charger and not from the PC/laptop USB.

So it's an app that does the same thing as CWM. Since it works on rooted phones only, CWM is already installed and wipe battery stats is a CWM option. So this renders this app useless
Oh alright. So i'll just tell her to wait it out with full discharge -> full charge cycles? How many cycles would that usually take? Right now she says its on low batt after just 8 hours or so. Stupid Dialer bug...

It's not just the dialer issue. There are a lot of useless apps that run in the background. It depends what your gf is using the phone for. Get S-OFF and latest SW versions.
3-5 cyles.
Alright thank you ^_^ I'll get her to implement the fixes for the Dialer Bug and see what happens. And i'll ask my friend's brother if he has an xtc clip in his shop.
3full charge & discharge will be enough. as for the dailer issue is not much of draining the battery. battery drain occur most is auto sync with mails or fb & some those apps will frequently need to update itself. 3G/BT wont drain much battery you can last a good day or 2day without charging.

not much you can do about dialer bug - save battery by
- turn off facebook chat on fb website and phone
- turn off sync for stock news weather
- turn off some call settings (quiet ring on pickup, pocket mode, flip for speaker) which solves dialer issue (but not for me!)

[Q] Power down with 15% battery left

Hello my device keeps power down at 15% battery life, I have read that you can calibrate your battery, however because of circumstances It is not possible to flash my device. Are there anything else I could do or must I have my battery replaced by asus?

I just had a warning that my battery is at 15% with out shutting down. Something is wrong on your setting or your app that you are using. My device will not shut down unless it is 0%.. I just want to give you the information on my device and don't have any fix for your device.. Good luck..
Others who had similar problems let the tablet rest with a drained battery for some hours, then recharged, and it somehow recalibrated the battery estimations.

you can't fixit. its a motherboard issue that comesup after some software update. If your phone is in warranty I'd suggest to give it to repair or else your phone will prolly start rebooting in some weeks before it finally dies and you have to replace the motherboard
