I used to use ACCA when I was rooted, is their an unrooted alternative that stops your phone from being overcharged?

hi,
i'm using latest stock firmware (WW) and the battery won't charge further than 57%. if the charger is connected the tablet will just change the state to "not charging" when it reaches 57%. the dock charges fine but will not transfer any power to the tablet after 57%.
any ideas what's wrong? currently i'm trying to fully deplete the battery and then recharge it but i fear that won't help :/
i've had this problem for the past days and have read many threads, but it seems a simple shutdown helped *lol* i guess android isn't supposed to run for weeks without reboot

A full deplete would be my first recourse, too, and after that I'd power the unit down and recharge. If that fails, you might want to try a battery stats wipe -- sometimes, it is actually fully charged but just doesn't report it that way.
Had this problem with my tf201. Had to RMA to get it fixed...
I don't know if this deserves a message thread but the other one claiming a 100% was closed and it didn't apparently work anyway. But I have found a simple way to get it to 86% when you really want to get it as fully charged as possible. I get mine up to 86% regularly by putting it on the charger while in Safestrap (TWRP). If you had your phone charged to 80% and it won't go higher reboot to Safestrap (TWRP mode). It will show probably now show about 74% in Safestrap.
Let it charge for a little while and it will come up to 80% according to TWRP (Safestrap). But when you reboot to the regular system it will show 86%. Strange but it's a way to get it a little higher. If you put it on your charger it won't do anything until it gets below 80%. I use one of those inline USB volt / amp meter devices between my phone and the charger so I can actually see when it is charging and how much current is being used in the charge. It really does charge in Safestrap to a higher percentage (as seen on reboot) and sometimes the current is well over 1 amp. If for example I stop at 83% though in Safestrap and reboot it will only show 0.0 amp charge in the regular Android system but if I go back to Safestrap it will continue to charge at close to 1 amp.
Maybe this might tell someone who knows more about this to help find a way around that 80% limit.
Note: While this is a quick easy work around to get to 85% or 86% as TheMadScientist has pointed out there is a way to get to 99% or even 100% if you install Xposed framework and a special module as mentioned in this thread here:
Charge past 80% on Snapdragon
I have post quoted you inn another thread

I got one of the choetech current cables and it has been totaly awesome. It tells a lot about how these devices charge.
Not familiar with that particular cable but the ones I have can be had for anywhere from $1.29 to about $3 or so on eBay. It is really nice to have and track the current a phone is charging at. And with some Samsungs you can see if it is fast charging or not by the charger voltage output which jumps from 5 volts to about 9 volts when it's fast charging. Also good for detecting bad USB cables.
Using an App like Androsensor the voltage read from the S8 battery appears to be well below a fully charged voltage level. The question I think that needs to be asked is whether the voltage being read is correct or if something in the root process or kernel is causing it to be read incorrectly since charge percentage on Lithium ion batteries closely correlate to the voltage level (unlike some other battery chemistry types). A Nicad or NiMH battery can look fully charged based on voltage in less than a minute from a fully discharged state once it's put on a charger but it can take hours before it is actually fully charged.
I am wondering besides turning on the feature. How does it work? Does it take into account of other features turning on?
I read on OnePlus forum. So I tried it out last night. I put my phone on the wired charger at 5% battery @ 11:45PM. By 12:45AM ish it was already fully charged. My impression is that it slows down charging on overnight charge near the time I wake up.
Yes but I think you need to do it a few times so it learns when to charge that way. I could be wrong but that's how I understand it.

I could never get it to work either so I installed the GUI version of ACCA. It works perfectly. I have it set to charge up to 95% and then it'll discharge (if I have it plugged in) until 85% then it'll charge back up to 95%. I also have it set to turn the phone off at 15%.
For those like me who are holding on to their Razer Phone 1 for as long as possible, the battery health is likely to have greatly deteriorated from the once massive 4000mAh. (AccuBattery shows mine is at 61% or 2,455mAh)
I recently came across ACC as a Magisk module which (on default settings) starts to slow charge the phone after 60%, then stops charging on 75%, then when the battery dips to 70% it will charge again. This charge cycle seems to be working my (a) QC3.0 / PD battery bank and (b) samsung charger that i got from a Galaxy C5 Pro. The Razer charger seems to charge past 75% for some reason (may need to play around with settings via terminal, not too sure how for now).
Advantage of this is I can simply keep the phone plugged in whenever possible and not worry about the battery health deteriorating as much.
I installed through Magisk (on LineageOS 17.1 2021-02-15) with a reboot after install, but apparently you can also do so with the app AccA (it didn't seem to work for me). FYI, you must have root.

Do I understand correctly that the phone will keep cycling between 70-75%, which is better for retaining the battery capacity?
I may try it, but the battery still reports a good health status. The previous owner of the phone didn't seem to use it much.

That's correct. I can now safely leave the phone plugged in at the office, at home and overnight and it will cycle between 70%-75%. In theory, by not charging above 80% (or discharging below 20%) the battery capacity will decrease at a slower rate.
I don't know much about phones, I'm a normal user I've flashed Arrow os, I've rooted and installed accA,can someone please help me how to use it.like I need to charge my phone for 4 hours or connect the phone to charger and play game without dropping battery

yeah i also tried using it and my battery runs out very quickly, i charged till 65% with ACCA installed and when i uninstalled it afterwards, my battery shows 21% so the battery percentage is wrong
