hello, just want to ask about charging indication. i remember when it was on GB, the thunder icon when charging is disappearing when the battery goes 100% full. but in ICS, the thunder icon is always there even if it is 100% full already. is there an easy way to know if it is 100% full(not 100% charging) without looking to settings>power management>battery over and over again? thank you very much in advance.
Not the easiest way, but I like it -
try a widget of Battery Monitor
When it shows 2-7mA charge then battery is full 100%

thanks for the apps suggestion, but doesnt it consume so much ram? ive read somewhere that battery apps consumes ram too much, but thank you for replying i will still try to wait for some more suggestion and maybe it is better if i dont need to install other apps. but again sir thank you very much. ill hit thanks on you.
Don't worry, I use the Battery Monitor about one year,on my other phone, and had never seen it eating ram. Just checked on xsola, Battery Monitor uses 3.8MB and there was no reboot in last 3-4 days.
The trickle is in the charger
Hello! The originaly charger that is included in the box of the xperia u emits a very treble sound when is connected to the wall but not connected to the phone that dissapear when the phone is connected and charging. When the phone is fully charged, the charger sounds like when phone isn't connected.
This method never fail
Sorry for my bad English =(

I don't know, but try it. Connect the charger to the wall without connect the phone and try to listen if emits a sound. If yes, connect the phone and listen if the sound disappear. In this case, this method work on your phone too.

You can always charge in OFf mode.
Saves battery + correct position of battery ie status

Hello, when I'm in office I have my HD2 always "plugged" to a cradle connected to my PC via USB. I haven't selected the option to disconnect charging when the device is connected to a PC and now I wonder if the fact to keep connected the HD2 to a charging source yet when the charge is 100% can harm battery and reduce its "lifetime"....I have an app that monitors the battery temperature and this temperature has the same values when the battery is charging as well when the battery is fully charged but the HD2 is still connected...
Opinions about?
Thanks
Andrea
There is no problem in doing that!

Just be happy that You always have a fully charged HD2
When it´s 100% full it is simply not charged any more ........... no sweat
And you have the option of no charge when connected to a PC
Li-on batteries are happy to be bumped charged. Keep them charged and it will be good
Thanks to everybody, guys!!

I am using phone alarm which stops charging battery via USB when its 100%,to prevent overheating.It'll charge again when below 90%.
Overheating is the only problem there is i believe...no issues with lifetime of battery...

its an android app
I think yes !
But only if you charge the battery when it's not low !
Basically charging it when it's more than 30 % can shorten the battery life !

Battery "lifetime" is dependant on a number of factors, but, to maximise the useful capacity just charge it as often as you can. Then when not on charge you will get the "best" performance" from it.

Lithium batteries last longer with top up charges rather than deep charges.
As PA49 says, keep it topped up as often as possible.
Hi XDA'ers,
I have a small problem regarding for the battery indicator in the status bar.
When i was charging it i notice for 4hr still the indicator charging so i decided to
install a battery widget, and i saw that in the widget it is indicate full, but in the status bar indicator still charging.
And idea how i can solve this problem?
I'm using ICS 4.0.3 full version.
Maybe widget shows information wrong,try installing an app like setxperia by inteks and try to monitor battery life from it.both battery levels shown by phone settings & setxperia is same on my phone with stock ics
i do it already, actually i check my battery it says that battery is in good condition.
i notice also that when my battery is 5% i will charge it and it will appear in the battery widget that it will full charge within 4hrs and then after 4hours it is correct, but in the status bar still charging...
may be i made a mistake in flashing?
Try charging the phone switched off overnight, it will fully charge then take the case off remove the battery with the charger in wait for it to attempt to boot then disconnect the charge replace the battery and boot the phone when it boots you'll see the battery level has dropped connect the charger and let it finish fully chargeing.
All your readings should now match if not you may want to replace the battery

hi mpiekp,
i did already what you told me but still same. now i just went to the SE service centre to check my unit. they said that everything is perfect even the battery is in good condition. they told me that i made a wrong flashingnow i'm trying to re-flash again to see what happens.
The problem you have is not a problem....

Thanks for this gregbradley. but this is not exactly my problem. it is in the indicator from the status bar. it indicates always charging continuously even the battery widget indicator is at full.
Are you sure it's indicating charging and not just being plugged in?

yes dude. when i connect the charger you will see the battery indicator moving in the status bar. but in the battery widget is already full. it's kinda weird isn't?
i found the solution! i will tell to everyone shortly i will just make a compile for this so that if someone have also this problem, well maybe this is also their answer.

it all begins in flashing....
Before this happens, im just looking for an full rom of ICS and i found one in NEO V so i use that one, then using the original kernel. after that i root the phone and make some mod. unfortunately i saw this problem which is the battery indicator.
The solution only is the kernel... hahaha!
I dont know exactly why because im not a hacker or programmer something like that. but i use the nightelf without zram. and all are working perfectly. indicators are 100% working and most of all. from 9am-10:30pm my battery is @ 70% without closing wifi and bluethooth....
maybe someone also have this experience so you can try this kernel...
thanks to night-elf for the kernel...

i red some diffrent idea about battery and i got confused ! which one is better for battery health?
1-when battery is 30-40% connect to charger for full charge
2- when battery is about 1-10% connect to charget for full charge .
Just don't empty the battery ( 0% ).. idk if it's true, but a lot of people advised not to empty battery cause it's Li-ion..
I suggest you charge as soon as the phone notifies that it can be charged

Li-ion doesnt have memory effect so it isnt important when you charge it, imagine if jou have car dock you charge it every time you put the phone
in and the batery is still ok.
Every few months I empty the battery completely and charge it from zero and I do this because after flashing lots of firmwares etc the battery seems to give funny readings. This might not be correct procedure but it works for me.

I experienced that too.. I dont really know what to do with that but try charging yiur device turned off
I charged most of my device turned off or turn them off after use when charging..

I charged mine while it was off over night from 10% and it was at 97% after 10 hours from wall plug, then the next day I charged it from notebook usb and it was still slow. But it seems to be charging faster each time. (and I still love this thing... Now if I can only get root without downgrading back to the original in the box firmware I will be happy)
Your question has been asked and answered many times. ( though you should say "charging too slow" )
Have a look here, for example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428856
The charging time you are having is about right.
If you have root you could download an app called CPU adjuster which let's you create different profiles for example when screen is off, connected to wall charged or connected to USB charger you can set minimum and maximum CPU speed for the tablet during these situations, I've been using it for a few months now and it has helped prolong battery life a little and helps charge a little quicker.

Guys, I really need help.
My XU doesn't charge, when I connect the charger the led gets red like normal and the battery icon says it's charging but It just doesn't add up and I can charge it only while the phone is tuned off.
I tried a lot of chargers but still no luck.
Guys pls help I really don't know what to do.

It seems to be a batterystats problem. If you have a rooted device, try downloading Battery Calibration https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=es and following the app instructions to calibrate it, and tell me if it worked.
