How do I synchronize my battery? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

I have extreme battery drain from 100% until 97%.
I am pretty sure that it is the phone thinks the battery is 4100 mah, when mine is probaly something like 4020 mah.
Is there a way to change my battery stats?
And I have gotten the phone 2 weeks ago and drained it mutiple times from 100 to 0, so the battery should have have calibrated, yet it hasn't.

I don't think it's really a drain and it's actually pretty common. It's just how the charging cycle works. if you charge overnight it charges all the way to 100% and then it stops charging until something like 96% (if it drops too much it would automatically starts charging again). It keeps the gauge on the screen at 100%, but then drops when you first use it. When you start using it, it most likely it went from 98% to 97% but on the screen you saw 100% to 97%. If immediately after waking up you unplug it and plug it in again for about 10 minutes, you'll notice it takes a little longer to go fro 100% to 97%.

Battery Charge Issue

This might have been answered somewhere, but i couldn't find.
My kaiser takes an hour atleast to get to 67% battery level on the power adaptor and as soon as it reaches that level it takes just 5 min to get to 100%. This is very strange. I performed a Radio upgrade to 1.70.19.09 a day before. But this is strange?
The battery status app starts with whopping +600mA of charging current on a 0% charge and drops to 100mA at 50% charged and to +53mA when it is around 67% and then in some time it says 100% with a charging current of +53mA.

Have you tried changing the radio back? To see if that affects anything?
Is your battery life normal? Does the same happen if you let the battery discharge once and charge it again? Changing the radio could have reset the battery meter calibration and it's just finding its way again.

Do you mean to say that i should give a few recharge cycles( a week may be) and this should be resolved?
Run the battery down completely once until the device turns off, that will also allow you to see if you have normal battery life, then recharge fully. Once is enough.

Doesnt work. I completely discharged my kaiser such that it switched off automatically. Recharged to 67% and then shortly 100%. i dont see 70-80-90% charges.
Once it switches off, remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, put it back in, turn on again. If the phone still says low batt and turns off again then your battery is really empty. If not the calibration is really off, run down again until it's really empty, then recharge without interruption until you get the green LED.
You didn't say if your battery life was normal.
same problem here
I have experienced the same issue. Battery is less than 60% and suddenly it reaches 100% (in a couple of minutes). My battery life seems actually very short to me but I must say I started using HSDPA the last week (my carrier finally offered it) and off course my battery lasts much less than before, so it could be just an impression. I flashed hyperdragon III Blackstone (nov 1st) last weekend and the radio is 1.65.24.36.
Just to give you an example, this morning I was listening to streaming radio over HSDPA and battery dropped from 100% to 40% in 50 minutes (screen was off all the time)
So I will try to empty my battery completely and charge it again. I´ll report after that.

[Battery] Why Does Battery Level Jump to 100 During Charging!

Please look at the end of time axis. During the charging, the battery level jump from 78 to 100 suddenly.
I found similar jumping several times, and I did a calibration by completely discharging the battery. During discharging, the last 1 percent is supper durable. However, after a couple of days, the jump reappear again.
Any ideas?
My battery jumps from 80 to full when charging too
I've noticed that as well anytime I charge from anything except dead 0 it jumps from 80 to 100 from 0% it charges smooth to 100

Exactly. Did you also notice that the last 1% is supper durable?
Yeah I've noticed this as well. It was very surprising because my old phone would take hours to charge but the Moto X took almost 1/3 of the time. But then battery does last long after the full charge so NO COMPLAINTS here :good::good::laugh:
yeah i feel like the battery percentage is not accurate at all on the moto x. I compared it with mV voltages in battery monitor pro and its always off...
your phone is guessing what your battery percentage is. if you want to fix it, drain phone down until it completely dies. then charge it to 100% without turning it back on. It will recalibrate your phone battery stats and you no longer will have the phone jump from 80-100% when charging.

[Q] Battery jumps from 4% to 0% and shuts off - normal?

When my battery is getting low, I've started to notice recently that it never falls below 4%. Instead of counting down to 1% and shutting off, it just shoots down to 0% and immediately starts the "Power Off" screen. Is this normal? Anyone else's Nexus 6 do this?
I've seen the post about the Nexus 6 that would shut off at 73% consistently and I guess this could be related to a bad battery or calibration, but I was just curious.

I've only ran it down that far once and yes, it shut down at 3%
@j.bruha I assume you know this, but just in case - Li-Po batteries don't really do well with extremely low charge levels. Try to avoid depleting the battery charge level to anywhere close to 0. Most folks recommend keeping the battery level at 30% or higher for longer overall battery life (not the time that your battery lasts from charge to charge, but the number of months/years before you will need to replace the battery itself)
Mine goes all the way down to 1 % and shuts down. I can still use phone when it shows me 2% left. Never seen it shut down at 4%. Discharge battery and fully charge it, Sometimes it does help. good luck.

I think there's a lot of over thought about caring for batteries. I think the best advice is to charge it as it needs charging.
Li-Po batteries don't do well at extremely low charge levels. That's an understatement. They become physically volatile and very actually dangerous to use. This is why when you deplete your battery from 100% to 0%, you're actually discharging from 100% to something like 20%. The battery chip does not let the battery deplete fully and is calibrated to report that 20% as 0%. There really shouldn't be any harm letting the phone shut down at "0" because it isn't 0.
My phone shuts down at ~1% sometimes 2%. It has shut down at 3 once but it depends. I usually don't run my phone down that low, but if I do I expect it to turn off at some point. I would see if you can have it repeat the behavior so you know whether or not its a bug.

Battery charging issues.

Hello, I'm encountering a weird issue with my phone.
It seems to be happening when I don't fully charge the phone, even though it's kinda random.
The issue is that the battery is draining damn fast after charging the phone. The first screenshot shows how I lost ⅓ of my battery in 14 hours without having touched the phone. There's a difference between the beginning curve and the ending curve, that's because I tried to reboot my phone.
I do have AccuBattery installed, which is an awesome app. And it actually shows me than during this interval, I lost around 600mAh (see second screenshot). That should represent 15%, which would be a good value because I'm usually losing around 1% per hour. I shouldn't have lost so much battery.
So.. it seems that the battery is not being charged at 99% at all? I think my battery level has some issues. Because when charging, it usually stays at 100% for around 20 minutes, but is still charging according to AccuBatrery. This can be noticed on normal charges (third screenshot).
If a charge from 19 to 100% charged about 3300mAh and a charge from 7% to 100% charged about 3620mAh, my last charge from 10% to 99% shouldn't charge only 3400 mAh. And that's related to my problem of "phone is still charging even at 100%".
I already tried to empty my battery and fully charge it, I already tried to wipe cache, the issue is still coming back.
Is anyone else encountering this issue? What should in order to fix that?
Thanks in advance!
Bumping. Any idea? :/
Here is another screenshot showing the battery is being discharged with ~2000mAh

battery dead or?

Well bought this phone back in mid 2017,and because of sickness I haven't used it that much at all.
I charged the battery 11 times so far and was keeping the phone in a desk drawer.
A month ago I noticed that the phone won't turn on,so I plug the charger on and charged the battery to 100 %.
I supposed that the phone was on,I didn't turn it off,and the battery left to 0% and shutdown the phone.
I really can't say how long it was on 0% (suppose like maybe a month).
Today I noticed very bad battery results.
Batterylife with GSam Battery Monitor is around 12 h only.
Was the "bolded text" the reason that battery died or the reason was not using the phone for 2 years?
Is there a software to check the damage of the battery?
I installed accubattery pro but for some reason doesn't offer me Health status of battery.

I would give the battery a few full cycles to see it that sorts it or yes, the battery it would seem is on its last legs. I don't know what app to recommend as an alternative though. (My battery is 23 months old and still performs as it did when I brought the phone)
I would drain it to 5% (maybe 1%) then charge it to 100% (without using phone while charging) a few times.
Then see how it goes. Afterwards charge phone from 20% or 15%.
Ok.I will charge it to 100% and report you with results with duration time on battery and you tell me how bad is it
GSam Monitor:
Battery Life: 3d 19.9h (5h 26m active)
Screen On:3h 40m (1h 17m Max)
In Android: battery estimated battery life: 2d 1h
