Possible battery solution (fix)

Fellow universal users who suffer from battery problems, i know this issue is reccuring and is in many threads and forums now. However i am sorry to increase the talk in another thread. I just thought i would share my peice of advice.
Attached is a pic of the universal battery and below is a little procedure that you might wanna try.
Lets say your universal battery is dying after 10 mins and you just had charged it overnight (meter says it died at 95% or whatever.. ) here is what you do.
1- take the battery out locate the pin provided in this pic attached. its the second pin from the top if you are holding the battery with the connector being to the upper right corner (just see the pic)
2- cover this pin with a thin peice of tape that you will leave temporarily. till the battery fully dies.
3- turn your universal on after placing the battery in it again
4- change the power settings in a way that leaves the universal on for all the time unless you manually turn it off.. so all the power savings are off.
5- let your battery drain all the way until it just turns the universal off.
6- take the battery out and remove the insulation from that pin
7- turn your universal on again and let it charge overnight or till the light turns green.
8- this fixed my universals' battery and now mine turns off at 5%
p.s. while the universal is running and the pin is insulated you will notice that the battery indicator that shows the percentage left doesn't work. (thats the whole point making the ppc blind and not being able to read how much is in the batter and take full advantage of whats in it as far as power goes, this will make the battery realize that it was drained more than usual and forces it to recalculate or recalibrate itself.
by the way you will also notice that the universal wont be able to get charged while that pin is insulated. so again my advice is fully charge your battery , take it out, insulate the pin then drain it all the way , take the insulation out and recharge until light is green.
please post if you had a successful result and hopefully for all who are suffering from this battery problem now they have one more hope.

This is what they call "Resetting" or "Formatting", nad while it's good for NiMH and neccesary for NiCd batteries, it can actually prove harmful to the LiION battery of the Universal, since it may over-deplete the battery.
Use with care, and only if you can't afford a new battery, since this might leave you without a battery!

Deeply discharging of Lithium Batteries
People may remember the videos of burning Dells and Macs. Deeply discharging lithium cells puts them into a critical stage. You may loose a bit more than only the battery ...

well its not deeply discharging
i monitored mine and was playing games on my uni until it turned off once it did then i took the tape out and fully charged it.. then viola it worked fine. i dont see any risk plus yes there is in the lithium batteries a problem similar to the nicad research about it and verify.. anyway you dont have to follow, just saying this worked on 3 of my batteries.
Cheers

NiCd yes, but those are of a completely different architecture. There's something called the Memory effect there, which means that the battery retains the previous charge as the threshold for the next charge, meaning they can't be "topped up", because then only the "top-up" can be drained from the battery.
Lithium Ion batteries retain this memory effect too, that's true. But in them, this is nearly insignificant, meaning the can be topped up at any time, even at 99%, and the almost full charge can be drained. Almost, because there is a minimum threshold beneath which the internal mechanism changes and the battery becomes unusable.
That is why I recommend against deep-discharging the batteries. What I did once was ordered a battery, and noted that it came with a six-month warranty. Now I get a new battery on the warranty(free) every six months, regardless of the state of the old one. But usually by then it startsx to show signs of weakness...

i will try this swith my old bat after my new bat is here. thanks for the fix

Unfortunately, the Memory Effect in Li-Ion batteries can be made worse if the battery is of low quality and/or has impurities in it (due to manufacturing or age). This is why our original, top quality, batteries are dying (due to age) and the cheap ones we buy off ebay are pretty bad (low quality)

I second that. This may be a fix, but be careful!! As with anything in these forums, it caries its own risks.
Probably best just to buy a battery from a respectable shop\dealer and get a warranty with it...

hey guys ... i´ve tried it ...
i think it works, give it a try.
takes 4-6 hours to completely discharge, the i´ve loaded it one night long. today i´ve played long time with my colegues at work, used bluetooth several times, hat some calls... and now, after 10 hours without charging it has 45 % of charge.
at the moment i turned the brightnes to the maximum, with wifi, beam, phone and bluetooth on, to see at wich percent my universal will turn of.
i give you a notice if this happens.
cheers

now ... finaly it turns off at 19 % !
but ... without any warnings or notifications...
but before it always was shutting down at 40 %, now with shutdown value at 19% the battery is more useful as before.
maybe it could help someone.
cheers

Didn't work form my orginal battery.

sounds great try to guve it another shot if you want .. fully charge it and then put the tape on until the universal turns off . maybe you will get closer to zero like i did and if not then.. meh 19% isnt that bad compared to people shutting off at 40 and 80 ...
the only reason i came up with this method was because i read in the wiki that some pople discharged using led or whatever to depelte tha battery or even on bootloader. i thought about it in a way that would make mnore sence using the device itself to deplete its own battery (think about the ammount of power tha led will be drwaing vs the amount the ppc will be drawing ) maybe the chip in the battery claiberates itself on the ammount of draw ... most likely not but it crossed my mind like that so i gave it a shot and it seems to be an exploration by surprise
cheers

It sounds very much like "deeply discharging" to me - you are disabling the sensor which is also the failsafe circuit!!! The sensor is not there just to "annoy you" by shutting off early, it's there for safety reasons!
All Lithium ION batteries shut off quite a bit BEFORE they are fully discharged. This is because a truly 100% discharged Li-ION battery (or even close, like 95%) becomes unstable, and this can cause it to set on fire, leak acid, and even violently explode causing you serious injury or burning down your house (people have actually been killed by exploding Li-ION batteries). This is rare yes, but it does happen and it has happened.
We all know that the sensor in some Li-ION batteries can lose its calibration over time, though this is NOT due to a "memory effect", NiCD batteries were the only chemistry which suffered from that problem. But you have no way of knowing if the sensor is really de-calibrated, or it is shutting off because of a fault with the battery, or even that the battery is just nearly dead.
For gods sake people please be careful, this hack may look "cool" and yes it probably will work on quite a few batteries, but it can also be extremely dangerous, and is just not worth the risk, especially when you can get a new battery for less than $20!
Check out these videos to see how violent and extreme a Li-ION explosion can be...

thanks you for the info.
i dont mean to harm noone.. i just tried it and it worked for me and thought i would share.. for all future readers. dont take risks if this is really true..

a new battery for 20 $ ? where ?
in germany you have to pay nearby 50 -60 $ for a new battery, and you never know if it is a good one or some old crap.
for that reason i will try to maximise the life of my battery ...

IF the Lithium-ion battery in my phone was to die, would it still work plugged in?

A theoretical question... IF the Lithium-ion battery in any modern phone or tablet etc was to completely die, would it still work plugged in?
But more importantly I want to know IF the battery in my phone was being completely dead right now, because of wear and tear and charging it alot, could I still use my phone with a micro USB powerpack/battery bank constantly connected to it?
Thanks

Alright. But I guess if there's like 10% of the capacity of the battery left, like a couple years from now, it could work maybe? If you have a phone with a non-changeable battery.

It is possible bro

Like the above said, if the battery is not completely dead and has some capacity left, it will work. But it case the battery is completely dead it will not.

If battery is 100% dead then.
Grab a charger and multiply the current written on it with 100.
If the value is somewatn very close ro the battery mAh then that charget could so the trick.
And charger above 1.8A is really hard to get. So to charge bayteries more than 2000mAh can be hard.
Who knows what will work try out the method with 2800mAh . may be it works

your help is appreciated, but you shouldnt comment on such things you know nothing about.
i can get chargers over 1.8a all day no problem.
im not sure what you are trying to explain with all the charger vs battery stuff, but there was no question of an adequate charger.
you seem to be suggesting charging at a higher rate will some how revive a dead battery.
thats just not true. if the battery is dead from reaching the end of its life span as the op suggests in his query, it can not be revived.
further more, you could use a 1,000,000mah charger and it would do or fix nothing.
as long as the charger used can output the amount required by the phone, it doesnt matter how big the charger is beyond that.
there is a charging circuit in all devices that regulate the rate the batteries charge to prevent damage to the battery or device.
chargers dont push out the a or ma listed on them, that value of amperage is the maximum that can be pulled from it.

I understand. Thanks for the answer!
I have an old laptop (like 10 years old), that has a completely dead battery and won't boot if it isn't plugged in, but it does work when it's plugged in, so I thought that maybe it would be the same thing here, but of course not, it makes sense that it's different.
But even with a new, modern phone, I guess it would be hard to completely kill the battery, even when charging it alot?
I mean, even if I would charge it 2 times everyday for 5 years, maybe it would still have some percent left of it's battery capacity, maybe 10% or something, and then it would work.

its fairly rare to see a battery go completely dead from just being worn out. usually users will replace it when it gets to some point of limited usefulness.
sure some times they die from defect, and some times they die from users running down until 0 and the phone shuts off.
the latter trips a safety in the battery and makes it all but useless. this can be fixed, but thats another discussion.
i dont know how laptop batteries work with respect to charge.
phones though, i have seen from experience. when the battery is completely dead the phone will not start even plugged in, until it takes a small amount of charge, to be able to sustain the device on the battery while charging.
as long as your battery can sustain this minimal amount of charge, it should work while plugged in.
there really is no way to tell if, or how long, it will be able to maintain this low charge state. any stress on the battery from heavy use is likely to cause it to shut off until it reaches the minimum threshold again.
also when the battery is this weak, its possible for some sort of internal fault, resulting in the loss of ability to accept even the smallest of charge.
if your battery gets to this weak state, its best to just get a new one. even if its a cheap knock off that doesnt work as good as the old one used to. at least you will have something to work with, and not be worried from day to day if it will work or not.
i hope this clears things up for you

Oh, that's good to know.
And I'm not so worried about that, I never let my phone drop below 10% and most often I charge it when it hits 20% and charge it up to 90%. I believe that's the best for the battery.
I am kinda regretting now that I bought a Xperia Z5C though, I don't like that the battery isn't changeable. But it's a great phone other than that, so I think it will be okay. And the battery is quite high capacity so I hope that it will work fine for at least 3 years, even if I charge it daily.
ETA: Interestingly, I had a Xperia Z1 before this phone, and I had the Z1 for a litte more than 2 years, and charged it almost everyday, and the battery on it was fine, or more than that, it was Good, I was getting 4-5 hours screen time on a charge just a month ago.. So??? I shouldn't be worrying about this anymore and instead enjoy my new phone

many users run the phone to 0 often without issue, but its really a horrible thing to do. there are many documented cases of it not turning on any more, however likely small compared to the amount of times its done. i was just making the facts known that the safety is there, and there is a risk of tripping it.
the problem would be compounded on a sealed phone, as the only fix requires you to take the battery out.
your charging cycle is very good for getting the max life from your battery :good: not too low and not too high.
many will argue this, and claim the benefit is very small, but according to the experts at battery university, not too low and not too high is the best way to get max life from these types of batteries. it keeps the stress levels while charging out of the highest ranges.

Laptop chargers are a bit different from the android chargers.
Laptop chargers are designed to handel heavy charges which charges the battery at at its rated voltage. Like a 12volt laptop charger will charge a 12volt battery. Thats why with battery dead charger can handel all the work.
Android is a bit different.
Its chargers are rated of higher voltagea than battery.
Thats a good thing because at higher voltages we requir less ampere of current per hour to charge it.
I mean to say in previous post that if you grab a charger for your device just pullout the battery and use any other device battery for first boot. And when it start booting then you can just remove that battery and device will run on chrger.

all batteries charge at a higher rate than they are rated at, phone, laptop, car, doesnt matter.
if they didnt, they would take a very long time to reach full charge, and could only do so if not being used.
i would like to see some proof that a phone will stay on booted, with no battery. post some links for me to review please.

Battery deterioration on s7 exynos

Hi Guys,
I have my s7 for about 3 months now. The battery performance was excellent for the first month. It would last well over a day even with heavy use. My battery performance lately has been horrible. I found that the battery performance has changed with the latest update on 1 November as shown in the link below
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/XFA/
I have taken the phone in to Samsung and they erased the device and reloaded the software. They've attributed the poor battery to bad network reception. My reception in the office isn't great but I am always on Wifi. I have also been in the same home and office when the battery was great, so the reasoning does not make any sense. Please find attached my battery performance for today.
The other strange thing is when I use the original charger that came with the device but use normal charging (not fast charge) the battery takes over 12 hours to charge to full which doesn't seem right.

That is way too long for regular charging. I charge my phone on regular charging, and it takes about hour and a half to charge fully. Try another cable, I always blame them first.
November update has been a pain for me too. What's on top of your usage list in samsung's battery stats?

How to charge the phone without harming the battery

Hello XDA,
I've bought s8 recently and I have a question about how should I charge the phone. Before s8 I had z3 and one m7 and I was charging them arbitrary like %45 to %75 etc. Their battery died pretty easyly and closing once it hits under %20 - %25. So I thought I was doing it wrong but when I searched the internet I saw that charging phone arbitrary give no harm at all. Is it true? How should I charge my phone?

You should plug it in and charge it when needed. Either using the original charger and cable that shipped with the phone, or a high quality replacement. Alternately, you can use a wireless charging pad to charge it.

Turning off fast charging may also extend the life of your battery. (It will obviously mean it will take longer to charge the battery).
Extra note:
You don't need to do anything extra, modern devices are well suited to be charged whenever you feel like it.

Plug it in when it needs charging, unplug it when it's done and/or you need to leave. You don't need to overthink it and monitor the finer details. It's a phone.

You are over thinking this. Just like a lot of people who obsess about battery e-peen. I got the S8 to save myself. I was in that rabbit hole, I went from enjoying smartphones to worrying about why my phone cannot perform as well as the ohers.
You plug it when it needs a charge. You take it off when it's done. It's a battery, it's gonna suffer wear and tear whether or not you baby it. It's gonna run its course and you will probably buy a new phone even before that happens.
My phones have a 2 year life cycle and Ben then they are still great as hand me downs to the family who don't care to buy their own.

Only charge between 20-80%
Don't quick charge
Don't wireless charge
Angle the phone at a 45 degree angle when charging, this will allow the new electrons to slide naturally to the bottom of the battery so it fills up properly
Submerge the phone in cold water to keep the temperature of the phone cool while charging
With these 5 simple steps your phones battery will last 1% longer!

will using the 6x while charging does any harm ??

can using the phone while charging can harm charging port or battery ? im asking this because i was using some days ago my galaxy note 3 like this one day and it stopped charging and was dead..

I don't know about harming the port but, it will definitely hurt the battery, So I don't recommend doing this except when it is an emergency

Note 3 was launched 4 years ago. Battery would have gone bad, you would have noticed the degradation.
In some phones, especially those which charge very fast, the temperature can rise to a high level which reduces the life of the battery, but should not impact much if you are using a phone for 1-3 years. Though one needs to stop charging / using the phone if the temperature reaches very high (say above 60 degree Celsius).
Honor 6X charges very slowly while using and the temperature doesn't rise as much (as compared to other phones), hence that impact is likely going to be lower.

Generally it's not a good idea to use whil charging all the time.

I strongly suggest you to use the phone while is under charge the less that you can, especially being careful about using it in combination with mobile data/GPS services/internet browsing and apps that requires particularly usage of RAM. This because the li-polymer battery plugged on charge with the original charger of 6X, that supports fast charge and so will "push" inside it a stronger power than a normal charger, will almost immediately reach a voltage of 4.1-4.2V to ensure the fast charge service and this is the limit that you want to maintain for being sure that the battery will last the longest time. Using it under charge with mobile data or others mentioned above, will easily overcome the 4.2V limit to 4.3V or even more, depending on what you'll be using, and so the ions capacity will be reduced faster, letting them contain less energy than the original capacity while time passes by.

I try to never use it, except when in emergency

It doesn't but thats not a good practice in general. With continuous usage, it may get more heated that is not good for battery, phone and eventually you.
Because charging itself will hear up the phone and using it may increase further so avoid it buddy.

Hehe may be. I will take time to charge in morning or in night during dinner for 20-40% and then in morning for another 40-50% or if wake up early then may be i charge full 100%. Anything above 80 ia good for entire if couldn't charge full still have 20-30% left when reach home in night.

Almost the same here; i limit the charge to 80% with Battery Charge Limit, i wake up at morning with 79-78%, i go at work and when i come back at evening usually i have around 55-60% left due various jumps here on XDA, internet browsing, some calls and a few messages. When i go to bed i plug in the phone just for a mid-hour so it can reach 80% again, then i remove it from charge and so on.
