[Q] Overcharging?

Quick question: If I leave my phone charging all night, when it gets to 100%, will it keep charging and make my phone explode?
And if it doesn't and somehow just stops receiving a charge once it's full, will any electricity be used?

I charged whole night and its safe and good.may depend on voltage. Wait for some better answer and check it.

When your phone gets full charged, device have cut off system, n will stop charging.
It won't explode.

LoL if it were only that simple... Anyways I left mine on the charger for almost a full day without use and no harm has come to it. Still has the same battery life as before.

You should have no problem with overcharging. I think the Note manages the charging at 100% by using the battery for a time and then charging again for a while. I often have the Note in my card dock for extended trips where it sits fully charged. My battery usage is still the same so there seems to be no problems.

I'd agree with this statement. To illustrate this, you can use an App to track the mV value of the battery rise and fall whilst still on the charger at 100%.

Losing battery with charger connected

Recently I noticed that my phone is losing charge while charging, yes im using it but I still think I should gain charge and not be losing it. Is anybody else have this problem?
I get this problem the most when using MHL adaptor, I can be watching a film, from the sd card, and lose almost 60-70% of battery (screen brightness at lowest, and stock charger) is there a way to turn the screen off and use hdmi that I have missed that can help?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Probably the MHL adaptor only accepts 500mAh input. The USB standard, instead of the rated 1500mAh the original charger provides.

Try that to turn off the screen. Needs root.

Thanks, I'll give that a go

If you use non sony cable, stock charger will charge with only 500mah.
Use proper charger and usb cable.
I have afew micro usb cables and, every one of them have different charging current. Find the best cable and charger with nova battery monitor application from market.

Thanks but it isn't compatible with my device

Wrong
Daniel ! You need to ensure your adapter isn't charging on SSM3 mode. This was the case with me, I disabled it and it fixed the problem.
Are you the guy that is **** at basketball ? thought so ...

What do you mean SSM3? Are do I know you?? Haha

losing charge can happen on a proper charger too depending on the use of the device - obviously, aside from trying to get the battery hungry screen turned off you can also turn all radios off that isn't used. kill very battery hungry tasks (normally killing tasks for battery purposes is no good idea, but if one have gone crazy, go ahead and kill it ) you can also try to lower the cpu's max frequency, but of course not so low that the movie can't get played.. hope this helped a bit

Battery issue on cm10.1

I know everyone is starting to use 10.2 but I'm enjoying the rock hard stability of 10.1 at the moment. My only issue is that the battery charges sooooo slow its ridiculous. Is there any way to fix this? Even if I have to edit some random file myself? Its so slow if I'm playing a game it will actually discharge faster than it can charge it. And before you ask yes I'm using the stock charger. I'm tempted however to use the charger from my o.g. transformer as I think it has a higher output rating but I'm concerned about frying my battery.

I heard that if you charge phones in airplane mode that it will charge faster. I don't know if it will solve your problem but it is worth a shot.

So I decided to use the transformer charger. Seems to be helping a little. At least its still charging while I play rr3. Any further input would be appreciated tho. Also charging in airplane mode is not an option. I need to be able to receive texts and phone calls.

Weird battery drain?

I put my phone on the charger last night at 1%, went to sleep. Woke up this morning and it was off. Turned it on while it was still on the charger and it was at 6% Notice on the far right of the screenshot it got fully charged then died on charger.

Also sometimes my phone likes to turn off by itself. Have to hold down volume down+power then let go of volume for it to come on.

Check for corrosion and gunk in your charging port and connector. If none found try a different charger. The picture you submitted shows a quite odd report. Also could try wiping battery stats... but I think you might need an unlocked phone for that.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

I have a similar problem. It just started recently. I had 19% and then I dropped to 1%. I charged it and had to reboot my phone for something when it was 14% and when it turned back on, it was at 3%.

Has anyone tried another charger that has higher amp output, I use iPhone @ 1.5 amp charger and works great, also AHD phones need minimum .750 amp chager.
Has anyone tried also to re-calibrate battery?

I have. I had this issue just once, but after that, my battery life its been worse. I feel like I have a 20% of unused battery or something. I have calibrated it multiple times with no luck.

Pretty good, but not THAT good. Not much running in the background?

Mine is hit or miss, doing the same things with the phone at the same places every day, some days it is decent and I will have 40-50% left when I get home, other days (like today) it was almost totally dead. That's with sync and wifi on, but location turned off. Its decent, but far from great IMO.
The battery life is WAY better than my wife's Nexus 5, but it is garbage compared to my international Note 2 I was using previously. I'd have 70-80% left when I got got home doing the same stuff as I am with the S5, plus I would leave Bluetooth, wifi, sync, location, and GPS on all the time.

at the end of the day by bed time i have 30% or so left. my old htc one x would be in the teens %. it doesn't help that i leave bluetooth and wifi on and searches all day since i'm too lazy to turn BT on only when i get into my car and i'm too stupid to learn how to use NFC tags.

I use everything on. On my S4 I didn't much, because my battery would die sooner buy with this battery so far I'm getting better life with more things left turned on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium HD app

Holding up much better than my S4 which I returned as I could barely get it to go 3/4 of a day without dying with normal usage. Now I end the day with at least 30% left. Also outperforming my iPhone 5S which would be close to dead by the end of the day. Very impressed!

great battery
I had an S3 before. When left alone at night, I can see phone 'Awake' numerous times. As viewed from Battery settings.
Except Gmail, I had sync disabled on every app. I also had most of the apps greenified. Still phone wakes up numerous times at night when not in use.
With S5, I have installed all the apps I had on S3. I have configured only few of them. None of them are greenified now. Also, I have left more apps to sync in background. Previous night, in the 9 hrs I left it alone, it woke only 2 times. Thats really good. In that 9 idle hours, battery dropped only 4%.

Battery is similar to the m8 (very good)... I'm thinking I'm going to have to return the htc

I'm really not getting very good battery life at all. I am shocked when I hear of others getting 5+ hours of screen on time. I'm getting nowhere near that and unfortunately for me I'm on my phone all day for work (calls, emails, etc.) because I work from home. This is also my 2nd SGS5. The first was having major screen issues and the capacitive buttons stopped lighting up for some reason.

Have you disabled all of the built in apps you aren't using? Try to cycle your battery. Go on your Google account and disable sync on thin you don't need. Or call ATT and ask for a replacement under warranty maybe your battery is bad. They are very good when it comes to warranty exchanges. Best of luck.

I've tried cycling, I have more than half of the sync items turned off and I'm still having this issue But thank you for the suggestions. I am going to head to the store tomorrow and see about a replacement. I just can't guarantee it will be another S5 at this point. LOL

Att wouldn't even let me return the phone without restocking fee. Which was a joke.

Fantastic battery life so far. Since unplugging it from the charger Wednesday morning, my battery is at 86% this morning! I do have the power saving mode on (not the ultra power saving mode, the regular one), and don't use it a whole lot during the day (not for hours on end at least, just a few minutes here and there)
Better battery life that I was getting on my S4.

I average about 5-6 hours screen time every day no matter if on WiFi or data.... I bet I could crack 7 if I was on Wi-Fi the whole time but yeah, coming from the nexus 5, this thing kicks the crap out of it in battery department

My first battery cycle I got 7 hours screen on time and the last two I haven't gotten more than 5 hour if that. I disabled about as much bloat I could. Can some one explain what it means to cycle your battery

I think the battery life has been really good so far...
