i recently bought a new battery and did a battery calibration. after that, my battery drains from 100% to 70% in less than 30 minutes of just doing wifi. can someone please help me get my battery not to drain that fast?
Are you sure you bought the original battery and not the Chinese replacement ones

How many hours do you get with the screen turned on with a normal usage?

I love this phone and all it's features, but the battery power and problems getting old.
The battery life seems to fluctuate to whatever it wants. Sometimes i can go from 12 hours one charge, to 48 hours the next with almost the same usage.
I use msn on my phone for about 30 mins and the battery rating drains from 70% to 20%. But, that 20% ends up lasting me another 10 hours.
I just don't get it, is the problem with the battery or the phone?
I just ordered a 2400 mah battery, which is almost double the 1340 that is in there right now, so i guess i'll see how that works out. Kind of afraid at how big the phone will be though with the extended cover.
Any help will be appreciated or i'm going to dump this phone and get something else quickly.
Hi
I have a question about charging the phone when I first get it. I wanna maximise the battery life. But usally when I first get the phone, the battery has a bit of charge. I've been told to charge 8hours.
So do i drain the remaining battery and charge 8hours with the power on
or
Do I charge it straight away even though its not low battery for 8hours
Or do I just charge it till the battery is full?
Thanks
drain it completely, than put it on the charger for like 8-12 hours
drain max again
charge it long time again
drain max again
charge it and your done
this will give u the max result of your battery
Thank you very much. I shall try that, Should I Leave it on while charging?
Is it okay to play around with the phone while it is charging?

1; There is no need to do that with current technology batteries.
2; Once the battery reaches 100% it doesnt charge or do anything else.. so useless to leave it in for 8-12 hours.
I second TimMun.
The process of charging the battery for 8 hours is for old batteries...
and i believe even that was a myth.. apparently the concept was that the acid in the battery needs to be charged for a LONG time for maximum efficiency.
I think you are good to go once the new battery shows full charge..
Hmm wonder what was in my study about batterys, well do w/e u like, i know a bettery has a memory which only can be reset by a deadly shock which can be fatal

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,
I am recently facing a heavy battery drain issue with my Galaxy S. The battery drained fully even in stand-by, within 10-12 hours.
So, I now replaced with a new battery(the battery was already 2 years old).
But, with this new battery too, it gets only around 20 hours of light use(3G, Music, Video drains the battery a lot). Also, the battery never shows fully charged unless it charges for a full night. though it reaches 100% around 3 hours, but still drains within evening.
I got my motherboard replaced recently, facing a network issue and was using the old battery for the first 2 weeks before replacing it with new one(1650 mAH).
So, my question is, whether the problem is related to my battery or is it with my motherboard?
Can anybody help me in this??
Are you using a custom Rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium HD app
was using, now reverted back to stock rom... still d same, barely lasts half a day.. with nearly no usage....
Also, the Battery monitor widget says the capacity is 1500mAH, but this is a 1650 mAH battery, the voltage level seems to be ok

I know this is going to sound strange, but is there any specific app you are using when this happens, the reason I ask a friend uses facebook and it drains his battery from a high percent down to 0 and shuts off the phone in less than a minute.
Hello guys,
i recently replaced my note 8 battery. i also factory data reseted the phone so i could reset everything. Now batteyr life is obv better. Sot get to like 3.5 hours of SOT but i still feel like its not like it should be. Before was getting like 2 hrs sot. ? battery is new and i also tried with another new batteyr for testing with same results. Now i installed accubattery and over the course of 3 days its says battery life weak and 2100 mah reported out of 3300. Also samsung members says battery life is weak. Anything im missing?
thank you
Edit:
triet *#0228# and says 0-8 battery block. have read on forums people says if less than 8 battery its bad. BUT my last battery also said 0-8 blocks and drained 40% overnight while new battery 5-7%.

Hard to say if it's a bad battery.
Best to install BetterBatteryStats app, record an idle dump and post it in the BBS thread (
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/)
There are some experts analyzing your battery stats and giving you advices, if you can optimize battery life on your device.

I replaced my battery a couple weeks ago too. Using Accubattery, it is showing that my battery is 2435 mAh. Funny thing is before I replaced the battery, it was also showing similar number, which makes me think if the shop I went really replaced my battery or not. Went back to complain and they just returned my money and didn't want to do anything about it.
I'm also wondering the same thing is I need to calibrate the battery, this is how I land to this posting.
Last night I tried to let the battery dies to 0% and kept trying to turn it on to ensure the battery had completely died and charged it overnight. This was suggest by one posting in Google. However, it doesn't give me any improvement as since I turned it on this morning to 77% only takes 40 mins with continuous browsing.
One posting said that I need to do a wipe partition cache. Which I haven't done. Nor have I factory resetted the phone.
Still trying to find how to improve, my last resort would be to buy new phone
Accubattery isn't accurate.
20% @ 617 ma gives you around 3000mAh.
A better question is what's eating so much power?
Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker is useful.
Karma Firewall can show you what's using bandwidth and power. You can also firewall block any app with it.
