Strange, I haven't noticed this.
1) What phone are you using
2) What ROM are you running
3) Have you wiped your phone along with the cache?

Almost every Android phone. It is a known problem.
I don't seem to have an issue with it.
When it reaches 75%, my bar is 3/4s. When it's 50, its half-way...etc...etc...

Awsome job answering 3 questions with a random statement.
I know the phone stores the info about the battery in a file. This file includes the max charge the battery can charge too. There is a method somewhere on these forums that show how to drain your battery, wipe the file, then do a full charge so the phone can relearn the battery and the correct settings get saved.
I believe flashing new roms and doing storage wipes can cause this file to be removed and created with false info.

No... It has nothing to do with this. Every Android phone I've had... Regardless of whether it is brand new, stock, rooted, flashed, new kernel, anything... Doesn't matter.
May I know how many android phones you previously had?
not trying to flame btw.. but i dont have that case with my phone.. and this is my first phone
You have tokinda program the Lion Batt internal charger first, you charge them full->run till dead--> repeat process 2 times and then the system will be way more accurate. Try this and reply in about 3 days the results.

You guys are still missing it. The ICON is not accurate but the internal sensor is. Jeebus. Look at these links... and it seems as my answer is in the first two sentences:
http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/android-app-of-the-day-battery-left-widget/
http://www.androidjunkies.com/index...ets-you-keep-watch-of-your-power-app-reviews/
Honestly, if "it" truly bothers you, why not just put the overlay ontop so you get the "real" percentage.
It's work just fine for me, usually +/- 3% at most, works great on froyo.
Calibrate if it is way off
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
I'm trying to understand how android calculates battery percentage, and from my testing it seems that the battery meter is hard coded into each particular phone model. This link seems to kinda verify this.
http://www.android-x86.org/documents/howtoconfigurebatteryservice
Does anyone know where in the system the battery file is located? Either the battery driver, or the algorithm it uses, or even a stats file. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks.

How abouts do you calibrate the visual battery indicator at the top of the notification bar to be within 3%??
Are you talking about something else like the battery charge status reading?
I've experienced the same problem as the OP on all my Android phones as well. It is a problem when you think you have 75% charge and all the sudden you are getting low battery warnings.
same here. Notification Bar battery is hilariously off.

Hi everyone !
I haven't seen this info anywhere on XDA, at least on this forum, but i think everyone should know this.
Not trying to take credit in any way, because OP made a terrific job at researching and testing, just wanna spread the knowledge.
Basically : Charging your phone at night or leaving it charging even while at 100% for a few hours will have a big impact on how it behaves and how your battery holds up.
Quick explaination : Since Nougat, you don't get the App Optimization screen anymore on the first boot.
That's because Google has delayed it, and it triggers only in specific conditions : When the device is idle, fully charged, and still plugged in.
This optimzation allows to build the ART cache, which speeds up the system and apps, saving CPU power because it avoids using the JIT (Just In Time) compiler, thus, saving battery juice.
This also means wiping cache isn't going to help with your battery life, quite the opposite.
You'll see he made a test with other users, and the results are quite clear.
Here is a link to the post with detailled explaination and testing, thanks a lot to anupritaisno1 for all this info :
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-and-battery-calibration-myths-busted.993896/
Forced the building through "cmd package bg-dexopt job" on my own OP6 running Pixel Experience, took like 15mn. SOT improved quite a lot.
Interesting read, thanks

If the phone is OFF it can't trigger the optimization task, this won't be beneficial.
In the article he actually made a test about this, you should read it !
Interesting, but... who claimed that clearing the cache helps with the *battery*?
Also, what happened to the old adage "never leave your phone plugged in" because it causes battery wear?

A lot of people claim this, that you should clear the cache after an update, without clear reason why. At least we have a reason not to.
And this old adage is indeed old, like the "Fully discharge it for calibration". We're not in 2002 anymore. Modern technology had the nice idea to remember to stop the charge, and use Lithium batteries haha !
Leaving it plugged at 100% is not causing any wear. The post mentions a response from an electrical engineer, saying the battery is in fact on stand by and the phone is running off the charger only.

That's just one way to read it. Leaving it plugged in does not, indeed, mean that it keeps trying to charge. But once it goes down, it will charge up again. Also, supposedly, the fuller the battery is when charging, the higher the temperature and hence, the wear. Cannot attest to that, that's just how the argument goes.

Indeed. But from the looks of it, and what i've read in other places, it waits for it to drop a bit. If the battery is not used, it won't fall to 99% in a night, and won't be charged again until you unplug it. Kinda like when your phone is off. It's gonna be a long time before the battery goes down on it's own.
Interesting, gotta try it.
Still, does the <50, >70% not apply in terms of battery wear? I mean, even for straight-forward charges?

I'd say yes, it still applies. It's a different topic ! Everithing said here is related to software and charging control, when this is more related to battery chemistry. But you're right, it's still true.
To sum it up :
- Charging above 70 or 80% and discharging under 30% (Thoses are the values i read about) is indeed not the best thing for your battery health on the long term.
- BUT, the superior battery life your phone will get with these app optimizations easily counter-balances it. If the phones lasts twice longer, it means 2 times less chaging cycles required, when you think about it (Ofc not accurate, but you see what i mean)
Best thing you can do, if you really want to get the best of both worlds, is staying in between those ideal values, and triggering the optimization manually via the Linux Terminal Emulator
Although, i don't think i'm not personally going to bother, i'll just charge my phone, use it, and charge it again in the evening.
Two days after triggering dexopt manually, without flashing or changing anything, using the phone the same way, i went from 16h idle/2h SOT at the end of the day with 50% remaining to 20h idle/2h15 of SOT with 70% remaining, that's quite a drastic improvement.
Ooh can you share more?I tried googling about triggering the optimization but came up empty...
Yes, that's logic in that, if optimization is so dramatic!
PS I meant 80, not 70, just as you mentioned.

Yes, it's hard to get an info about this, wierd.
Run any terminal app on you phone, type "su" to ask for root permission, then enter "cmd package bg-dexopt-job" (without quotes).
It will run for a certain amount of time (between 10mn and more than an hour, depending of the number of apps you have installed).
When you get the shell back (A line appears under the last one to enter another command), it means it's complete.
If you wanna be sure, run it again, it will finish very fast, because the cache will be up to date (It still checks it, so it's not an instant completion).
Do it plugged in the charger, but with like 30% charge, maybe on USB so it doesn't get to 100% too fast, to avoid the awkward situation where it overlaps with the actual automatic background process doing the same thing haha
The phone can heat up a bit because the CPU is working quite a bit.
You can also run the command through an ADB shell on a PC, if you're not rooted.
Or just leave it charging during a night for once, works too
Best way seems to let if charge for the night regularly though (Quote from the OP) :
"I just say overnight because the device being idle is a condition for the optimisation to begin
Also the optimisation is profile guided. If you were to AOT compile your entire base system it would take 4-5 GB off your storage and that is just the base system we haven't even considered the apps you'll install. Since optimisation generates huge optimisation files it is more sensible to only compile what is slow for JIT to do at runtime. This might seem weird but it takes the cache size down to less than 1 GB on most devices
In other words every time you use your phone the runtime sees what is slow and queues it up for optimisation the next time the condition is satisfied"
Wow. This should be pinned somewhere!
I'll do it in the terminal just for fun, but will also leave it (for my first time ever) overnight too.
Thanks, man!

I think everyone should read this yes, even if it's just for the sake of knowing how things really work.
And i can confirm again, my battery life is so much better ...
A few days ago, going to work, listenting to Spotify on my motorcycle for 20mn, and checking my mails for 2m got me to 96% battery.
Yesterday, and today, same routine, an an hour after that i'm still at 100% ... That's very impressive.
Really interesting.
Sadly the command does nothing on my device.

Are you sure ? It doesn't display anything, that's true. But you'll know it's over when the shell returns.
Or you can juste leave your phone plugged for a night or two, same result.
My battery goes from 100% to ~97% within minutes without using it after unplugging the phone from the charger when charging overnight.
Why is that and how can I get rid of it? It occurs since a few days on custom rom as well as on oos now again.
So I read about the mod through ABD that allows to force 90hz but all I find are negative comments on how it'll kill battery life and everything. I can't find any real reviews from people that actually are using the force. Can we get any input here please
Enough info to be found in the other two threads.
Why a third one. Plus, simply try for yourself, each person's usage is different :good:

I did nothign different today and used the JOneplus tool and you can switch it on the fly back to auto, 60hz or forced 90hz for all apps. SOOOO EASY. It's in the play store. No need for the ADB commands with a PC.
That said I am seeing less than 1% difference of SOT drain per hour. Before the 90hz forced all apps I was getting about 6.1-6.3% drain per hour of screen on time and that was with 90hz auto. With 90hz forced all apps I saw 6.9% drain per hour of screen on time 19% drain over 3:21 of SOT. I'm getting that percentage from AccuBattery. I use Auto brightness with EX Kernel and High Brightness Mode app set to auto as well and I only ever use LTE, never WiFi.
The negative comments are of people that are scared to try it and have no clue what they are talking about. They are scared so they should just get a dog IMO.

This gadgethacks article from two years ago suggests limiting battery charge to 80% and even links to an app to do so.
Given the speed at which things evolve in the Android world, is this still a good idea today, and specifically on OP7 devices?
There is much debate around this but I personally stop at 90% and try to recharge around 15%, not letting it go lower.
Thank you! It's helpful to hear the latest thinking on this.
Forgot to ask: do you control that manually, or do you use something like this root app?
Taking it out for a spin but not sure what to expect.
When phone charges 100%. It's not using maximum capacity. Neither is it fully discharged when it hits 0. Manufacturers of course know that and that's something they take into account calibrating the software. I see no reason for limiting it further lower and making yourself to charge it more frequently. That wears it out faster instead
Help!

For anyone else following the thread, looks like this module is referred on this how-to guide and this official thread.
I'm a ~20 - 90% kinda routine. But I don't dwell on it...
If you use a Chargie device (https://chargie.org), you can limit the charging of any non-rooted phone. It's a much better option. And it's also developed and tested on a OnePlus 7T, so it works well with OnePluses. Check it out.

ACC
I'm using ACC by VR25 since years on a Redmi Note 4 and now on my Pro 7. You may find it on XDA and Github. It's a Magisk module and you need root rights. Configuration is done by command line, but default is max. 80% and starts reloading at 70%. There is also a gui available from Matte Carrara called AccA, which I never used. I can recommend ACC, it's slim and works rock hard.

I only charge to 75%, and I try not to let the battery go lower than 25%. This has been my standard for most of the last six years - about the time of my first Pixel. That 50% operating range typically lasts me about 24 hours.
When I sell phones on Swappa (I didn't this time when I got the 7 Pro), I advertise that the battery is gently treated. Of course, when I sell my wife's phone, it's a free for all as to how the battery has been treated.

In general,
For optimized battery life, your phone should never go below 20 percent or never above 80 percent. It may put your mind at ease when your smartphone’s battery reads 100 percent charge, but it’s actually not ideal for the battery. https://www.gearpatrol.com/tech/a624169/smartphone-lithium-ion-charging-tips/

Hi Dave @daspunner.
You'll want to install:
@VR25's Advanced Charging Controller (ACC)
CrazyBoyFeng's ACC Settings
I switched from using MatteCarra's AccA (Advanced Charging Controller App) front-end to ACC Settings in the last six or eight months. I can't remember if AccA just stopped working, or working consistently, but ACC Settings has been working well.
I'm using the latest non-pre-release version of ACC Settings, v2022.6.7 - but I don't think I've even tried the v2022.6.13-pre Pre-release. I have mine set to stop charging at 75% "Pause above", and I have "Charge below" set to 25%. I also have GSam Battery Monitor set to give me different tone alerts for above 74% and below 26%. I also have one set for below 25% in case I miss the below 26% one - although my brother discovered a bug where the second notification sound for the same type of event never goes off, but I haven't paid attention to see if it's fixed, or if it's specific to his Samsung Galaxy S9+.
AccuBattery can do this without root. I use this app for many years.

AccuBattery only notifies you when you reach a certain charge percentage. It doesn't actually stop the phone from charging when you reach a certain percentage, which I believe is what the OP wants.

Hi Dave @daspunner.
You'll want to install:
@VR25's Advanced Charging Controller (ACC)
CrazyBoyFeng's ACC Settings
I switched from using MatteCarra's AccA (Advanced Charging Controller App) front-end to ACC Settings in the last six or eight months. I can't remember if AccA just stopped working, or working consistently, but ACC Settings has been working well.

I just tried CrazyBoyFeng's ACC Settings, and it seems to be working for me. (P7P on the latest A13 QPR beta) I turned off the Magisk module I've been using and will see how this new method works for a few days.
And it made me chuckle that I've been quoted in here--I am most definitely NOT an expert. An Advanced Beginner (or perhaps a Beginning Intermediate) at best!

Which version of ACC do you use? I have acc settings 2022.6.7 and ACC 2022.6.4 My configuration is to pause at 75% and charge below 70%. I have noticed that it does stop charging at 75% BUT if you use battery guru , for example, or something similar like charging Master, it indicates that is still gives some mah,it's not shut down, but this quantity isn't enough to charge the phone. In the battery properties, the phones states: connected, not charging, but battery guru says the opposite. Have you noticed something like this?

I'm using the same version of ACC (v2022.6.4). I might be having the same experience - I haven't paid attention, but I'm not concerned with it. If I remember, the next time I charge my phone, and it reaches 75%, I'll check, but no promises.

If you're using AccA and don't like that, untick prioritize battery idle mode.
A charging switch that works is gcpm/constant_charge_current_max 4000000 0. Usually this gets autodetected, but sometimes it lands on one that doesn't work as well. With this switch (or in general?), max current control only works (somewhat) with qi charging. I have a magsafe battery pack, and the phone will constantly pull too much current and cause the pack to shut off and back on. With a 500ma limit, it seems to charge stably at ~1A.

I use acc settings, not acca!
Rooted and got charge to stop at 80%. Any of the settings you guys want to comment about?
I am using ACC settings.
When is says "Connected, not charging". Does it mean that the phone draw power from the charger then instead of the battery?
Unless you are planning on keeping this phone for many, many years limiting the charge will do very little for you. In fact, if by limiting the charge to 80% causes you to have to charge it up more often then it could actually work against you! Let the built in software do it's job. However, a lower charge is always better as long as the heat is controlled.
