[Q] Every week my SGS needs battery calibration

Hello friends,
this is my first thread on xda, but I think this Forum is the best on the planet. I write from Italy, I apologize for my bad english.
My problem is: every week, I need to calibrate my SGS battery because when it finishes to charge, removing charghing, my battery percent falls from 100% to 82-85%. Replacing charging in this situation it continues charging till 96-100%.
Without a battery calibration it repeat its 15% drain every charging.
Why?
How can I resolve?
Thank you for help,
robybear

This is happening because you keep recalibrating and wiping your battery stats! Leave it alone just run flat and charge to full a few times, but stop wiping your battery stats! And if you flash a lot always do it with a full battery!

that is pretty normal, mine always drops to 98% i dont bump charge, wipe my stats or anything else, i always flash on full battery, too many people mess with these things and so the battery chip has no statistics to refer to, so it loses its datum, congratulations on listening, and your english is much better than my italian!

screen on battery drain

my battery is just oke when screen is off but when screen on it drops down like 5 % in 10 minutes. anyone knows how to fix?

Lower your screen brightness...
Sounds obvious but still valid

It's super amoled and can drain battery but not so much. Because you have so bad score i guess you works on android 2.3.3? Try to update to 2.3.6, the bettery works much longer on sleep and i think in stress it will be too good.

It could be your rom some how... but how about charge your battery to full, then go to recovery and wipe battery stats. Carry on charging for another 30 mins. Maybe that will fix it.

F*** UP BATTERY AND STABILITY ! geez...

Hi all , sorry for making 3 threads but i am just so so so damn frustrated ....i just flash my tab back to stock and flash it back to paranoid android cm10 1.99a version and all hell breaks loose , my tab HAS SOME REALLY BAD BATTERY to the point i dunno wad the hell is the battery indicates , when i put it to charge it is at a constant 61% no up no down but when i remove the charger and reboot it goes to 1 % and shut down immedieatly i mean seriously what the hell ?? i tried reflash , format but no use ....and it tends to restart every now and then ( i suspect it's the battery ) and i can't flash humberos for some reason ....it says operation aborted or something ...really i really need some help over this battery issue ....please help

I understand your frustration.
Remember your initial CM9 flash went bad, shutting down by itself when you remove charger, and subsequent flash goes to bootloop and such.
I think it is all because of the battery.
I would recommend fixing this before doing more flashes. If it happens to be flashing your bootloader (for example during restocking), and the power run out, you may brick your device.
Have you wipe the battery stats from CWM menu, then power off the tab and fully charge it for say 8hrs, using the original 2A rated wall charger ?
The other option that some people suggested is by opening up the tab (google for proper video instruction) and unplug the battery, wait a while, then replug it back.

Boot into CWM recovery and then wipe battery stats......or use battery calibrator from play store.....(recommended:wiping battery stats)

Wiped stats but with no good =(

for what it is worth, what I do is I wipe at real low level.
Then I power it off. then I charge for 8hr.

hi
to make sure your battery isn't fWordup, touch the charger after 20 minutes, if it is hot, then it is charging, if not, your battery isn't consuming electric power from the charger, so it is indeed fWord.
replace it asap before any other flashing!
best regards ^_^

I dont think the battery died cause i had the same problem few months back and i solved it.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697902

flashed back to stock and now it's fine ...
damn never gonna try paranoid for a while until a newer version a very good rom indeed but lacks stability for me at least
trying aokp ..hopefully this will work
but still whats up with the battery .. =(

I see you are a serial flasher. Hahaha.
Give your tab a break. Stay in one rom for a few charge cycles.
The battery needs to be conditioned.

Finally the battery is OK now using aokp build 40 but how long does it take to fully charge a tab ?it charges like 1 % every 5 mins which is very slow not that I am complaining just seeing my battery charge makes me smile
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

hm.. that is about 8hrs for full charge. a bit too long. Mine usually 3hr+ I think.
Are you using the original charger? 2A rated?

original ..nvm i think imma just stick the charger in my tab 24/7 then lol

I have same experiences, after flashing custom rom.
What i did was put my tab in refrigerator for couple of minutes let it cold then charge it using wall charger for couple of hours.
It works for me.

[Q] battery gauge problem

hello
after flashing a few roms, my battery gauge is messed up.
the things i noticed, when my ace turns off deu to low power. the gauge shows 0%.
but when my ace shuts it self down and i plug in the wall charger. the battery gauge shows me a percentage around 75%.
the things i have done to solve this problem is deleting battery stats by cwm and a calibration app nothing did solve the problem.
also i have let the battery drain to zero and then charge it up to 100 and let it drain to zero again. also that didnt solve my problem.
so i flashed back the stock rom by odin. also not solving the problem.
is ther another way to solve the problem

Get a new battery.:thumbup:

The problem is not with your battery. It's with the battery notifier in the ace. It works well for a time and then goes absolutely crazy. Whenever your battery gets low, about 10% for example, connect the charger and charge blindly for 3 hours. Don't worry about the 100% notification. Try your battery now. It should be fine now. But if you're using battery extender kernel, there's a bug in it that brings down the battery for 50% in a short time after using.

i`am on stock gingerbread, the phone is about two years old. i also noticed that when i turn of my phone and pull the battery out for about three minutes en then put it back in the percentage is higher. so i do think that the battery gauge is messed p but when i use a calibration app to solve it, it gets worse or doesnt change. when i use code *#*#4636#*#* the status of my battery is good. im thinking to buy a new battery but i doubt that it would solve my problem.

Calibration is all fake. Do as I said and you'll definitely witness the results.

Hi, I have the same problem with the ace of my wife. When I charge it, it says 100% after 10 min charging !
And when I use it not charging, it drops down ...
I try to let it charge longer, but is that sure that the battery continue charging even if the notifier indicates 100% ?
I'm on [ROM] CM7.2-DEMOCRACY FINAL EDITION .. is there also a kernel to change to help ?
Thanks for your answers, by default I will let it charge for 3h.
PS : is there an app to check the battery life ?

in dialer u must enter the code *#*#4636#*#* there will appear 4 tabs there is one for battery tap it and you wil see the health of youre battery.

Guys, forget about battery level notification, etc. Any app doing so would collect the info from the android itself. Just do as I said. Everything will be fine.

I've the same issue. I charged it for 3 hours, it's not fine, it goes to 50% in about 15 minutes, and when I reboot my Ace, it drop to 15% !
I noticed that when I turn it off and charge it, the green battery indicator is at 80%...
Any idea ?
I tried differents ROM such as CM10.1 CM10 CM9,PAC, same issue.

I bought my wife a new battery @2000mA and she lasts 2 days now, so the answer seems to be the battery-life ...

CM 9, 10.1,PAC consume battery like hell, but not that much also.
If there r such huge drops that too after charging the fone for 3 hrs then i guess there is a problem with the battery.

Yes I thing the battery is dead, it's slightly inflated...

I too have the crazy battery problem, but funny thing is if i were to ignore the indicator and just use it from a 3hr-full charge till it dies off, i could achieve 2.5hours of internet surfing (wifi not 3g). To me this is good enough, all calibration fixes do not work for me. Any suggestions?
PS: I have the system time problem too with S'perience Rom, Eg. when i shut down the phone at 1pm to remove the simcard, after booting up the phone the time shows 11am. This happened to me more than 5 times this week. I dono if it's the rom or the battery that gives this problem. I dono about how it was when running stock rom because this phone does not belong to me. Any help is much appreciated.

Try a full discharge and then plug your phone until it is fully charged, finally without unplug it boot into CWM and wipe battery stats, finally reboot and charge it until 100%

No. Just wait some time, I think that battery needs to calibrate itself with charging. I tried CM11, in first it was awfull, after 2-3 charges it is becoming usable. But still CM10.2 and CM11 based ROMs are battery eaters. Try CM10.1.

Thanks very much for y quick answers ...i hope that it can to remedy the battery okey but i try too cm 10.1 ...thanks again :good:

Next time when you flash rom or even update to official firmware make sure your battery is always 100%, not 80, not 90 but 100%... I had problem with discalibrated battery cause i update from Ginger Bread to official Samsung Jelly Bean firmware and my battery gone crazy... Try charge-discharge couple of times as shut-down says... This problem could be a swollen battery too cause you say that your phone turns off when you are at 25-28%... To be sure that your battery isn't swollen, turn your phone off and make this steps:
step 1: Take the battery out of the phone.
step 2: Put it on a level (flat) surface.
step 3: Try spining the battery, if it spins freely than it's swollen, if it doesn't spin it's good and try this on the bouth sides of the battery.

Battery caliberation problem. caliberate using battery caliberation app or delete batterystats file

Discharge to 0%, full charge to 100%. And leave it some time (don't plug off your charger), maybe hour and more.
Type this in Terminal editor: cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
And wait untill it says the real EOC reached.
{sent from my mind}
if I help you, simpe just hit the thanks button.

i was having the same issue with Carbon 4.4.2 build 3, i did this:
*Uncharged the phone until 12-15%
*Rebooted phone 7% battery (every time i rebooted i losted 5% no matter what)
*Charged phone good 4 hours and then ran Battery Calibration APK (battery Calibration was showing 4120mha)
*Rebooted left phone alone 15 minutes ran Battery Calibration APK again (battery now was showing 4245mha)
*Ran greenify, hibernated almost all apps except whatsapp (bug with that was launching Player pro instead)
*Disconnected phone went to settings/performance changed:
Cpu Governor to :Abyssplug
Minimum CPU freq: 200mhz, Max: 800, set on boot.
I/O Scheduler: Deadline,set on boot.
Memory Managment: Zram to 10%, Allow purging of assets and KSM, also 16bit transparency.
i had 100% battery from 1am to 5am (whatsapp, fast for facebook,player pro, traffic racer, heavy wifi, screen never went off) at 4:35-40 i had 57% battery, to 5am i was having 55%, slept til 11am from that on i haven't used my cellphone too much but i have 35% current battery...for me its okay since i alway have a backup battery.
Pdt: i owe you the picture im in my office and don't have an usb cable with me.
