Hi I was wondering what your full battery Voltage is. I am confident that my battery stats got messed up now. As the battery jumps and the top voltage sat at 4.103v which if I remember it was closer to 4.336 or something like that on the charger @100%.
Let me know what you have, thanks.
Currently 4.057 at 81%, off charger.

That's cool. Let me know what 100% (on charger) and like per say 5% before you plug it in. Thanks

I'll post in the AM with 100% on charger number. I'm still at 70%, so I won't be anywhere close to 5 when I plug in tonight... sorry. Normal use for me usually means about 20% left when I plug in at night... Home on Wi-Fi all day means way higher than that.
Edit: 4.313 at 100% on charger.

Meet. Best thing I can do for now is a cycle or two a day with like 2% up to 100% maybe that will help

Hi, were you able to fix it? Mine says 4 MV at 100%.
Swapped to a different battery via a used parts phone i had. Defective battery.

Hey guys I'm getting my new 2000mah battery tomorrow and I want to know some precautions. OK first - when I get it should I put it in the phone and use my phone until it drops to one percent and then recharge fully to 100? Or, should I charge the battery immediately after I get it (assuming it will be at like 50%). Thanks all

After 50% charge it over night (mobile off) . Use it till 50%, charge it over night (mobile off). Repeat it one more time. Than you can use it as usual.
That's how I do it. Read some technical information to know why.

Just wondering, how much did you pay for the battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Plug in battery, charge, use phone.
Profit.?
Modern batteries don't need any fancy charging regime. Just use it and charge it as you see fit. It will perform better once it's been used for a couple of weeks and had a few good full charges, but it is not required.
How much is this battery? And how many hours more do you get with it?
Bought it for like 40 bucks from Expansys and it will be here in 13 days lol. Also thanks for tips

Any particular day of the week you have to perform this bizarre charging ritual ? Do i need a special hat ? maybe sacrifice a goat ?
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%

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.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
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.

Check your app manager to see if it constantly running in the background. I tried using a monitor and app killer but I just got too anal and when back to doing everything manually. Check all the variables as well for usage like screen brightness, is the phone on vibrate, etc?

If you want your phone to drop less then 1% per hour try a car battery instead...
can you connect the note to your car battery?
There is a known issue with the calculation of Android System in 4.0.3:

1% battery drop per hour is normal if you have synching enabled and are on wifi or 3g/4g.

I thought when people talked about the 1% per hour they meant while in use.
My note seems pretty good while on standby but when I use it it tends to drop 1% every ten minutes. I guess my disappointment stems from this being a 2500 mah battery. If I remember correctly my rezound extended battery was around there and lasted forever. I guess I just expected more.

5% discharge in standby mode over a 4 hour period is actually pretty good. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Your cells won't 'break in' and exhibit their best life before a few cycles.
To get the best out of your batteries, fully charge them initially, then run them down to 20%. Always try and charge your battery at 20%, running Lithium cells down flat shortens the life of the electrolyte more than anything except excessive heat.
Once your battery hits 100%, take it off the charger. Modern chargers usually switch to 'trickle' mode or turn off completely at 100%. Trickle charging overnight won't hurt the battery too much, so this second part is optional. Some people will tell you that continually 'topping up' Lithium cells is the best thing for them. While not entirely true, the impact is so minimal as to be negligible.
A mistake a lot of users make is to draw conclusions about battery life within the first week of owning a phone. There's no way your cell has had enough time to 'hit its straps' within a week, unless you're discharging two or three times a day.
Hope these few little hints help!

I got my gs3 yesterday, and it came with about 50% battery. I charged it overnight, and am using it now...do I need to run it down to 0% then charge all the way back up to 100? Some say I do, but I thought li-ion batteries didn't require that. Also, should I run a battery calibration?
Thanks.

No, you do not need to do anything to the battery. Charge it and use it normally.
Also, battery callibration does nothing that your phone does not already do on its own.

No you shouldnt let it go all the way down to 0%. Lithium batteries are designed to be permanently charged. if you discharge it completely you can damage your battery and/or the capacity goes down. So the best thing to do is charge it and when it is full just take it of the charger and dont leave it plugged in :good:
Hope this answers your question

I haven't noticed it but in the past with other devices, I could drain all the way down and charge up to full to fix.

Well it takes a while when at 99%, but don't touch it while it's on and wait for it to top off. It's probably trickle charging at 99%.

I read here somewhere that from 99% to 100% took about 20-30mins. It could be a firmware thing or they can be doing what Apple is doing so you don't overcharge it.

It charges and discharges to conserve the life on the battery. If the phone was kept on a 100% charge the whole time then that would decrease the life of your battery drastically.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't worry about it. It's better to keep it at less than 100%. If there was a manual settings threshold, I would keep them as start charging when below 70% and stop at 90%. This is my battery charge threshold setting on my Thinkpad X230T laptop.
