[Q] Battery calibration messed up my battery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I used Battery Calibration from google play exactly as instructed. Since then, my battery is charging REALLY slow, or not at all. When I use my fully charged galaxy after its charged overnight(connected to a charger) it shows 100%, and when I disconnect it, the battery drops... To lets say 92%. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Prayer and alcohol.

Charge it till you're sure it's 100%, turn off your phone, take out the battery for a minute, put it back in and turn your phone back on.

It's not possible to 'calibrate' an SGS2 battery.
Do what Donnie suggested, and if that doesn't help, flash a kernel like Siyah which enables you to reset the fuel gauge from ExTweaks/similar app (you can do it from command line as well, if you search the Siyah discussion thread you'll probably find the exact commands).
If neither of those things work, your battery is on the way out. Buy a new one.

My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?

Search for battery calibration there are many apps for it.
thank you so much

I cleared my battery stats and fully charged and used my device normally until it ran out. Did this a few times and noticed the 1st time it took a long time to go from 4% down to nothing.
After that it's been good.

(q) very slow battery charge

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.

The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

Try wiping battery stats through CWM.

buy a new battery and wall charger so you can charge the battery outside the phone.

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

The phone has no case and was on the table so i guess there was nothing to make it overheat. Sorry for the bad bump i guess i was just desperate.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.

Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

Ok 2 days with stock kernel then a new battery then a new charger... 3h chRging and not even 10% of charge... Im cluless

Battery usage shoeing false reading

Apparently my phone has been off charge for 3H36M when infact it has been 6H30 mins..
I am using CM9. Anyone else coming across this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Calibrate your battery....cwm, wipe battery stats, reboot, drain battery to the point where your phone won't turn on, charge whilst phone is off, when your phone says its fully charged, remove charger and plug back in to make sure, power on, drain battery again and repeat the process from charging with the device off.
Do that around 4 times. And then maintain your battery by not charging everyday, run your battery completely dead around twice a week. Turn wifi/data off when not using it, auto brightness, bluetooth off, minimize the use of widgets and lwp

Thanks for being so informative. I will do all of that. Is there a chance my phone will screw it self by re calibrating via cmw?
Also I trust your word about draining the battery twice a week, but I'm also curious as to why I've read in some places that you shouldn't let your batt drop below 10%. Is there a specific reason or is it just a false piece of information ?

Reset the stats does no harm . Drain twice a week is pure bull****.

Try to 'callibrate' your battery, and see if gives you the same results or if it's fixed: Charge your battery to 100% - turn off your phone - remove your battery for about a minute - replace your battery - turn on your phone.

I think that it may be caused by the internal GT-I9100 Battery Fuel Gauge chip, you should ask a service center, often problems like this are because of internal battery chip failing at equilibrating charges between battery cells.
You should also try to reflash a stock samsung rom (like XXLSJ) using odin, so if there's any software problem it should solve it

Thanx for the reply. I was afraid it would be a internal chip thingy. I have dropt my phone a few times this year maybe that triggerd it.. So the only thing i can do is go to the service center to let it be repaird.

[Q] S3 Battery Problem

Hi All,
I have an odd battery problem. My S3 will die and at times when I plug the charger in and the Battery Charging Screen comes up, It shows the battery has more than 50% life. If I unplug the charger and use it, the battery lasts maybe an extra hour but once it reaches about 6% the screen starts flickering and then the mobile network disconnects. I'm sure this is due to low power from the battery.
Any way for me to fix this or to ensure my phone is displaying the correct battery percentage?
See attachment.
Test new battery. If its not charging while you're using it while plugged in then you have a faulty battery. Don't let the power drop so it shuts down. Try and lend a battery from a friend and test it.
I have the same problem with my phone. Is it possible that this problem is caused by the custom roms we are using? What do u think? :/

How old is the battery. Power problems nearly always end in an old battery that just needs replacing
Thanks

OK well these battery's don't last forever. First thing I would do is ask a friend to lend one and test it for 24hrs. Or just buy one
