Hello
I wanna ask if a damaged battery can affect performance of my S3 Mini and what's the average time the phone is able to stay charged with a completely new battery. My battery time sucks (i get max 9 hours if I don't do almost anything on my SMARTphone ). So will replacing my battery solve some of the lag on my device and how many hours should I expect from the newly purchased battery with average usage (max 2 hours music, a few phone calls, max 1 hour gaming-small games mainly and sometimes web surfing). Thanks to anyone that replies. Cheers
EDIT : My battery also heats up to 36-39 degrees celsius while just playing Soccer Stars while listening to music from PowerAmp. I think this isn't even close to normal. If a new battery solves all these issues, I'm willing to buy the best one (presumably original by Samsung)!
EDIT 2 : My phone charges from 1% to 50% for about 30 mins
:bump: for help

Maybe you have a super charger joke make sure that your battery isn't swollen. And yes a battery can affect to performance and hardware. If you use very long a damaged battery then it also cause hardware problem. One time this happen to me on my old LG phone. The battery always got more swollen, so i bought a new battery but only 1 month later was the new battery also swollen like the original battery. It was a hardware problem and i still have this phone with a swollen battery
you should use pure stock rom beacuse most of the custom roms have some battery and voltage tweaks which can cause hardware problem if problem persists then replace your battery
Thanks for your help guys. Recently I tried pure stock ROM, but it was the same, plus I kinda love custom ROMs, which have more battery time What would you suggest I buy as a new battery - an original one specifically for my GT-I8190 or the Ace II battery (which is cheaper) is of the same quality as an original S3 Mini battery ? My current one is for the Ace II (it's the second battery I've changed on this phone)!
if the s3 mini battery is not much more then go with that & see if there is much difference

Is there anyway to use the Galaxy Ace Without the Battery?
I am having damn bad battery life (lasts just 10 hours on plain standby and with usage lasts abt 2-3 hours)
and I let it rest out of the phone for 12 hours
and it runs better now...
(I changed 5 ROMS and 6 kernels,and did full wipes including battery stats
so no it's not a problem of calibration or overclocking)
So I'm thinking is there anyway I can run this android
on only the Charger without the battery?
Also if anyone can tell me what might be creating the battery problem?
I guess time to buy a new battery?? 2-3 hours sucks mate. Even i get 5-6 hours with a hell of a data usage.

hey guys
in the last couple of weeks ive flashed about 5 roms which consider to be good.
i have to say I really like android but one issue keeps me frustrated
and thats battery life.
how can it be that my friends iphone battery lasts so much more then my galaxy s1?
ive gone through numeros guides decreased brightness to minimum
stopped syncing my gmail account and other stuff as well.
as time goes by im regreting not buying iphone when i had the chance
because battery is one of the most important things in a smartphone.
currently,
i am 25 years old student studying computer science in the university
which means im out most of the day.
its not that rare for me to be stuck without battery and its so frustrating.
i ask for your help please,
what is the best rom for s1 regarding battery life
and has hebrew on it?
(im from israel)
thanks alot mates!

Dropping to 0% is the worst thing a LI-ION battery can experience.
There are some calibrations methods around, you can try some apps but I think you ROM just needs some time to calibrate the battery sign. Are you running a zillion of apps in the background?
Another option is to buy a new battery with more power. stock battery has 1500mah. but you can get a battery with 1800mah for your s1.
Did you wipe battery stats in cwm?
Disable mobile data or switch to 2G only it helps a lot. Phone will drain battery if you have a bad signal
I have to second the disable the data connection recommend. Also your battery life will get better the longer you use a rom and the more charge/discharge cycles your battery sees. To be clear that does not mean 100%-0% every time just regular charging.
I'm personally on GB and with data disconnected for most of the day and the 1800mah battery I have been on the same charge for almost a week and still have 30% left. It's truly amazing!!

Dropping below the minimum voltage is what you're talking about, and that's not possible because of the controller on each battery. That's why the phone dies when it hits 0% (or thereabouts) even though it still has plenty of power left over to run the device. Running a full cycle on the battery will be just fine.
I am on Prime HD 8.0 and the battery life is dismal. I wiped battery stat, deleted unwanted apps but the battery life is still too bad.I changed the ROM and the problem persists. So its not a software issue. My X8 is almost two years old so I suspect its the battery. Is there any way i can check battery health? The shape of the battery hasnt changed or anything. Any opinions?
Secondly, if I do have to go in for a battery, should I get the EP500 standard 1200mah battery or the Mugen Power's 1300mah battery? Has anyone used the latter? Is the higher price I need to pay for the latter justified by better battery life?

Dont think that'll help. After charging to 100%, the battery drops to 90% after 5 mins of use!

My battery does that too on custom roms (99-90% in a few mins, but it drains a whole lot less after that). And it's not even a year old. Do try to flash back to stock with minimal apps installed and check the battery drain for just 2-3 days. I do think it's the battery, but it doesn't hurt to be sure.

my battery is one year old and it runs good. try wipe battery stats and use stock eclair for a few days. and make sure you dischard it to 0% ( you can even power on your phone) than charge it to 100% on stock eclair. make sure you have turned gps off and use 2G networks if you you dont use mobile data. ---- but I think you know that already. configure wifi sleep policy, brightness, turn off unnecesary apps etc.
If you have battery for cca. 2years. - its very possible that you need to change it. And I think you should but first try whats mentioned above
Battery draining from 100% to 90% fast is normal. Just FYI

Hi,
since a few days, about 10, my N7000 battery life is very short, something like half day or only a little more, it is 1 year old.
I tested 3 different ROMS (full wipe all times) but the result is the same, so I don't think this is due to that, always same modem XLT3.
What can I do to test my battery and to solve?
Is there any app that can tell me the true about my battery?
Can changing radio/modem be a solution? ... I don't think
Get a new battery. One year is pretty much the best you can expect from a Note battery.

Re: Short Battery Life
Change to a better ROM or change your battery. That's the only way
What ROM are you using? You can check it through AnTuTu battery test. And half a day battery life is really very decent for a one year old battery if you're using the phone continuously. You can use apps like greenify to limit background processes and increase battery performance. These are short term solutions as the battery is quite old. So buy a better battery as a long term solution and never overcharge.
faced a similar problem few days back......my note's batttery just gave up.....100 to 10 percent when you use 3g network for 30 minutes. screen flickering....black lines etc.
So had to change my battery...after changing everything is normal. Battery backup is again more than a day
Hi All,
I have always been a fan of Samsung Galaxy Note since its inception, that is why I never switched to any other phone. The battery deteriorated and had to replace. I got the original battery from Samsung store. However , the battery performance is not good at all.
Currently the brightness is at minimum, with no gaming apps, or any other apps running. But still the battery in my opinion is draining very fast.
I have attached two dumps, one which was when i tried keeping phone on sleep mode, and the other one which was when I used phone for some time (no heavy usage)..I would like to assume the battery is original and something is wrong with my phone
Please advice how to get a better battery usage, as my roommate is an iphone user and taunts from him are making life miserable.
Cheers
Thanks
Not sure about the first one.
But second one doesn't look good. 16% loss in 13 minutes of screen on time (total half an hour awake)doesn't seem to be acceptable. More over you are on stock 4.1.2. So battery life should be better than aosp. Still I manage screen on time of more than 4 hours.
Here's my current bbs screenshot on cm11.
And I've also attached a screenie of old good days. ?
