Change battery temperature or health - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi so I had a galaxy note 2 and the battery doesn't charge,it says that it overheats and at 60℃,I remember there is a app that can change the battery stats like the temperature and health,anyone know about this?Yes I had read some posts but didn't help,and I am currently changing the battery in a janky way(prob dangerous)

There's a apk named Ampere is useful to measure temperature, how milliamperes is battery getting, the voltage and amperage of your charger and other useful stuff, i have to say that 60 C dammed, i think the battery is dead litium battery are really sensitive to temperature my suggestion is that you replace the battery.

No,the battery is in good state,it holds charge and charges just fine with one of those universal battery charger,it also charges in download mode

Mmmm if the battery charge well with universal battery charger and charge in download mode may the problem is in
the system, i suggest that you do a data factory reset, or reinstall the stock firmware, due to the device charge in download mode i discard any problem with the charging port, as you say the issue is when you try to charge the battery when the System is booted, so try a clean install of firmware or perform a factory reset, try good luck.
Note ¿Is the battery original?

Yes the battery is original,but I think the battery is water damaged but when I tried my friends battery in my phone it still reports 60℃,I will try a stock install later,but I'm thinking to install cosmic os,will it work there?

Damaged battery?

Hi all!
The last week something is wrong with my ZTE Blade! Even when I have it charging, its battery does not charge but discharge! Looks like the charging circuit of the phone does not work... The phone has no previous damage or misuse and prior this malfunction the battery was behaving quite satisfactory! What might cause such a problem with the battery...? Is there a way to invert the situation (a combination of unplugging/replugging the battery or/and the charger...)?
Thanx!
Charging issue
To fix this issue try with a new charger or Battery if this not work call to hotline num of ZTE they can assit u better

I had the same problem
For me, rebooting into recovery and wiping battery stats worked
I have the same probleme with the stock charger, but if i change one of the 3 part (phone, usb cable, adaptator) all work good --' (made in china...)

[Q] How to calibrate a new battery for full run time

Hello,
I have ordered a new higher MAH battery for SGS II . I may be running stock ROM/Kernel or any of the custom AOSP ROM/Kernel.
During the kernel/ROM updates I have read that we dont usually need to clear the battery stats (since we are using the same existing battery).
However I will now be using the following battery :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058SJ5Q4/ref=oh_o00_s01_i02_details
I need to how to properly calibrate the battery status so I can achieve full charge and maximum run time from this battery. Do I need to clear battery stats (from recovery mode) first and then insert the battery for first time usage or otherwise.
Have read a couple of posts on the subject however none provides a clear defined and fixed approach to the issue.
Any detailed guidance would be appreciated to be of benefit for the community in general.
Thanks.
=================================
Guess there are already enough methods and ways and some even debunk the myth that does the phone really needs any type of calibration/calibration apps at all or not.
Will try diving into it directly to see the effects myself if any.
You don't need to do anything other than sticking it in your phone.
When I got the 2000mah battery, I found my battery life to be equal or even slightly less than the stock one. I fully charged the battery, went to cwm and wiped battery stats, used battery completely till it died and then fully charged once again. It did seem to work as my battery life was much better.

He's right. Your battery calibrates itself with a full charging.
i read in a number of articles that you should reset/wipe your battery stats with CWM once your battery is at 100%, then switch off your phone and connect to a charger usb/plug until it will be charged to the actual 100% (usually only 1-2% at most)...

All 100% wrong .
As it only wipes the stats that show and plays no part in calibration of the battery .

thnx for the correction, what do you think about "Battery Monitor Widget" app? Does its function to calibrate actually work?
Got intrigued by the issue...
No, it doesn't. Due to hardware 'limitations', battery apps can only provide a rough guess at best of charge remaining, discharge rate, etc on SGS2.
And genuine (made by Samsung) batteries don't have to be (and cannot be) calibrated. There's a fuel gauge chip in the battery which does this automatically.
Some people having issues with the battery report charging to 100%, removing the battery for a few minutes (so the fuel gauge chip doesn't have power for that time) & putting it back in the phone fixes their issues, but even that sounds like voodoo to me.

HTC Evo 3D Battery problems

Hello. I've been charging my phone the whole night and it only got to 94%. After I restarted the phone, the battery was at 81%. Does anyone knows what's wrong? Thanks.

A little more info would be nice. What rom are you using? Do you have root permissions? Are you s-off?
The first solution is:
On OVO 3D sometime if battery is charged to 100% he starts to use battery power instead of charger so if the light is green you need just to connect the charger again and it will start to charge again.
And the second:
After you installed some kind of ROM you need to calibrate the battery again. You can do by discharging your phone to 3-5% and then charge it to the full. You need to repeat this process few time and then you have calibrated battery.
Sorry but i forget to say that before recharging you need to delete old Battery stats

The first thing is correct. When the phone is fully charged the charging stops and the phone uses power from the battery.
As for your second statement - you are partly right. Even though most developers say the same thing you said I found the battery calibration is the best way to get the most from your battery. I tried everything that developers suggested and it didn´t work so well. Battery calibration did the trick - now my battery life is great
Anker batteries seem to work the best
Hey. Thanks for the replies. I'm using the 4EXT recovery and KingCobra3D - ICS 1.6 ROM. The thing is that my phone doesn't even charge up to 100%. Is it necessary to discharge the phone to 1-5% and then charge it to full and then calibrate via recovery or can I just calibrate the battery without having to discharge it first?
Also, I have root on my phone and S-ON.
My anker battery has reported like 4000 charge since I got it and I tried using the calibrate app but it still reports the same after a few cycles? It should be reporting 1900.

If you don´t use battery calibration you should go into recovery and wipe battery stats. Then boot up and fully charge the phone and let it discharge to 5-15%. Charge it to full and that should be it.
If you use battery calibration just charge to full, enter calibration app, hit calibrate and that is it

Okay the phone charged up to 100% but it took ages. I've downloaded the Battery Calibration app from the Market and hopefully everything's gonna be well now.
I have battery life issue too. I will try battery calibration.

battery percent is off!!

For some odd reason my battery icon shows 71%, but if I go to batt status it shows 62%. I flashed a diff batt mod and it changed to the new one, but it's still on 71%. Any ideas how I can make it show the correct status?

let the phone run till it dies and then charge it. that should reset the battery gauge.

Never let the battery drain to zero, it's bad for you battery. These aren't the old Ni-Cad batteries from the 80's but Lithium ion batteries If you want to reset the battery stats just download Battery Calibration from the play store. Charge phone to full and then hit Calibrate and it will reset your stats. Unless something is different with the GS4 or their TW OS any newly installed rom should have this done after installation
Here is info on what you should know about today's batteries.

The statement about li-ion not being akin to ni-cad is correct. The rest is not.
No app is capable of battery calibration. The myth of wiping battery stats to calibrate the battery was clearly and concisely debunked a year and a half ago. Apps such as Battery Calibration ate pure snake oil, as they do not affect battery indication in any way, shape, or form. Additionally, there is absolutely no benefit to wiping battery stats after flashing a rom.
The fact of the matter, as verified by Battery University, is that a complete discharge/charge cycle is the only method of "calibration" available to an end user. By performing a single cycle, the charge and discharge flags are reset. Only a single cycle is needed and this is something that need be performed more than a few times a year, as it wail shorten the battery's serviceable lifespan.

Ummm I said if you want to reset you stats not actually calibrate your battery. That app to clear stats is called Battery Calibrator. Never did i say calibrate battery

There is a far easier way to clear battery stats. Charge to phone to full or near full, and then unplug it. Voila! Regardless, wiping battery stats is not going to do anything for the op.

Well a friend of mine had the same issue with "stuck battery %" and that did the trick soooo just helping out with what worked for another is all. whatever
That actually didn't do the trick, as nothing relevant to reported charge is contained in the file that is wiped. While it may seem logical to ascribe the fix to a proximal act, it is actually a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc.

Neither did this. The battery calibrator app did nothing either. My phone is still showing a percent up top that is not what shows in settings/more/battery. More news, my phone showed this morning, after I unplugged it from all night charge, that it had been running on battery for 8 hours 2 minutes. The whole battery status is fubar somehow.
Just let the phone die, it works , and its easy

That's the only thing I haven't tried. Will do that today. Will report.
Didn't work. Gonna have to dirty flash the ROM.
My S4 (2 months old) dies with the battery at 20%. After reboot (plugged in) it still says 20%. Why does that happen? It should say 0%!
Update
It seems that the battery gives an incorrect fake voltage sometimes. To correct that I turned the camer flash on, using a flashlight utility, and after a few seconds I clicked the quick start button in the battery calibration utility you can access dialing *#0228#.
Now it show 11% that should almost be correct, and it's now charging. I am charging it in slow mode at 500mA just to give it a proper charge.
I'll update you as soon as I have results.
Second Update
Nothing. I think the battery is broken.
It dies at about 20%-30% and when the phone restarts, plugged in, it says it's 20%.

Why is the phone saying empty battery and then shuts down on 30% of battery and doesn't allow to be turned on until you plug in the cable?

No battery saving is enabled, yet it shuts down even though it isn't empty. And you can't power it up until you plug a cable in. My mom's 2017/18ish huawei is the phone and she isn't doing much on it to "break" it. So I have no idea why this started happening and how to fix it.
Battery not calibrated or a battery or power controller failure.
What's the reported cell voltage at shutdown?
Compare that to the nominal voltage for shutdown.

You've gotta help me here. This is my mom's phone and it's not new but she mainly reads news and uses viber so not much damage can be done. I don't know how to calibrate the battery properly. And how do i compare voltages?
Charge to 100% run to auto shutdown x3.
Accubattery or other 3rd party app for battery voltage.
Not sure of the typical voltages for that battery, probably similar to other Li's of that type.

it seems calibration either didn't work or didn't help, i made sure it's 0 percent this time and it was charged fully.

Could be firmware or a hardware failure.
While SEU's very rarely happen, they do happen.
If it's in the user data partition a factory reset will correct it.
If it's in the rom, a reflash will be needed.
So consider a factory reset if so be careful what you then install. Check right after the reset see if the battery indicator is working.
If that fails reflash to the stock rom. If that fails it's hardware.
A repair tech familiar with this device can likely diagnose it far easier.
