Seems not to work on my i9300 with cyanogenmod.
There is just nothing happening...
David.

nothing happening on stock either.all I'm seeing is when quick start is touched the screen goes black and when power is pressed i am at the lockscreen. swipe and go back to the battery stats. no idea what it does other than turn off screen
after reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30512141 apparently quick start somehow recalibrates the battery as many have reported either a large increase or decrease in the percentage.

I was reading ur thread and dialed this code.. i pressed quick start and boom screen was off.. when i again turn it on my battery level was dropped to 19% from 65%
I plugged in charger and repeated the same thing it goes again to 65%
Once more after pressing quick start and this time not charging again it dropped to 35% i re do it and now i am on 65%
I am on stock rom with no battery issues.. if any thing happens to me i am gonna sue u lol... any one please tell me what is this and what has happened to me ... i dont wanna get any battery problems
May be it is for use in emergency..
And i am already in that mode with higher percentage allowed
I am going to restart mt device now .. i am worried now

"quick start" is for setting the battery gauge. It loads the cpu and then resamples the battery. What I wish to know is what files or nvram items it changes.

[Q] Battery drained from 60% to 30% and shutdown the phone automatically

Hello Guys,
As i wrote in title, here is my problem.
After work i put my phone in the pocket with 60% battery, after 15 minutes i tried to unlock the phone but i saw that the phone was shutdown. And when i power on again i saw the battery was at 30%. I took some screen shots of battery usage screen.

If you noticed i took first image at 21:15 and the battery was at 35%. The second image was captured at 21:37 and the battery was at 37%. This is not logical
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
Calibrate your battery
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
The only way to calibrate a sgs2 battery is....... time.
The fuel gauge chip well recalibrate itself by just using it.
1. Just charge uninterrupted to approx 4201mV (this can be sometime after after reaching reported 100 full).
2. Discharge to near 1%
3. Charge (uninterrupted) again to max mV
4. Unplug & use normally
Note. Deleting battery stats does nothing on the sgs2

jus remove the batt,press power button 2,3 times so all power is out and totally switch off and charge and wen shown fullgd dont take charger out wait 2,3mins and on the phone wiv charger plugd on ,wen the phone starts it will show charging again ,,let it charge...see my phone gives a sexy life sometimes but sometimes it dosnt......so bottum line is "yes android is power hungry"
Thanks a lot, i will try this solutions.

Don't think i've calibrated my battery correct?

Ok so i've tried to calibrate my battery,
I let the phone run down to 0%, then i charged it to 100%, loaded up CWM and reset the battery stats in advanced menu, I then let the phone run down to 0% and charged again (done this twice). Yet my battery still seems to be draining a lot quicker than i thought it would, does this seem normal from the battery stats:

check ur network loss on that graph, its huge.. atleast 2 or 3 hours.. that consumes A LOT of battery..
That's correct, that big red no signal graph means a lot of battery being drained.
Have you been underground, like in a basement or metro station, or in a rural area, or did you leave the phone under your pillow while sleeping? You know, that kind of stuff.If not, then consider reflashing, that much of no signal bar it's not normal in my book.
That 2 - 3 hours loss would probably be when i was at work, it's inside a building that doesn't get a lot of signal but it was sitting right beside a network booster.
Probably also due to the fact that the network is Three and signal isn't too good around this area for it but im waiting on my unlock code coming from Three so i can move back to giffgaff
Off topic : You answered my thread yesterday stating that your bootloader unlock allowed status was no. May I ask how you've managed to install CWM recovery?
Sorry for going off topic
Kind Regards..

[HELP] Is this normal? Battery is not reading the right percentage!

For some couple of days am facing this problem, thought that my phone wasnt charging properly nor reading perfect charge. Downloaded the V6 calibrator and now am more confused about which one is showing me the right info Can anybody shed some light over the matter Will be a great help. Thanks in advance
Please, see the screenshots below as the battery is showing 10% but reading 30% then with V6 Calibrator its saying that the battery should read 53% confusing!!..

It's not reading wrong.
The script requires your battery to be 53% or more. So you will need to charge it and then retry.

Thanks and the script also asks for the battery to be charged at 4200mV & 20minutes more, before it could start the calibration, which unfortunately, the battery never gets to! always ends up somewhere in 4100mV or just a bit more than that. It once reached to 4192mV then started loosing power rapidly. Never actually reaches to 4200mV. What should i do about that? By the way, all the time when i tried the script, i made sure that the phone is on airplane mode so nothing can work behind
Those 4200mV is a general expression and not specific for the Xperia S, just charge to full and you cant do any mistakes.

Battery drop when not in use.

Hello , i'm on an investigation why did my phone died last night. Basically i left it on 33% and in the morning the phone was completely dead! Usually it never took more than 15% overnight. I was unable to determinate the problem via BBS because as you may know BBS doesn't really work on 4.4 Kitkat (even if set as system app). The only thing i can show you is the build-in battery monitor graph. See the red section - no screen times , no waking , no GPS , no Wi-Fi but the graph is still going down. I always keep an eye on my battery stats and overal phone health but this is the first time i'm experiencing such issue.

That graph is essentially useless/tells us nothing whatsoever. I'd be replacing the battery (might want to do a clean install of JB stock first to make sure it isn't a KK rom problem).

Yes, I know that. And as I've said, it's useless. What exact information are you expecting anyone else to glean from it that you haven't already done yourself (We're not mystics) ? It's a simple/basic graph, it provides simple/basic information, which won't answer your questions/give you info to enable you to solve your problem.
Stock kernel?Any undervolting?Maybe it freezed and that drained your battery.

Lost about 35% of battery overnight

Hello there, I'm new to the Galaxy S2 forums, I before had an Xperia Arc.
I have a problem that happened just last night. Last night I turned off my phone and left it, didn't touch it. That was about.. around 1 am, right now, 10am I woke up and turned it on. Samsung logo, ROM boots etc, I check the battery and I have 8% left. What??
I took these screenshots, Wakelock Detector screenshots would be useless as it only shows stats from when I turned it on, and everything's normal.

As you see it lost that huge amount of battery while turned off for no actual reason.
I'm not sure it's an "overnight" issue, I've noticed a random and huge battery drain on power off/on (even on reboots) on 3 different Samsung devices, using different kernels and roms.
[EDIT] Sometimes the battery even slowly recharges by itself with time, so maybe it's a battery stats-related issue [/EDIT]

Well yes you're right too, any idea of why this on/off huge battery drain?
Use battery stats plus..
And check what is causing battery tp drain
Difference in battery level after reboot is quiet normal thanks to the fuel gauze chip we have
