Battery meter - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hello Guys.
2 Weeks ago i replace my Note 8 battery and now i have a annoying problem .
Battery goes from 100 to 1% in 3-4 h heavy use (3 and half hour SOT) and stays at 1% for a long time like another hour (SOT). So i have total around 5 hours SOT I'am happy with that but i really want to see real percentage if it's possible.
I tried :
Cache wipe 2 or 3 times.
A factory reset.
Tried to let it turn itself off and charge without turning the phone on.
Nothing helps, If you have any tips and knowledge i will be very thankful to you for any kind of help.
Thank you and i'm sorry for not perfect English.

Try these methods to recalibrate your battery.
If it doesn't work, you can consider getting a new battery. I would recommend the Samsung service centre but if you know a good reputable and trustable phone repair shop go ahead and purchase a new battery from them and have it replaced.

standby battery drain?

Sooo. I have had my Optimus 2X for 2 days now. I charged the phone fullt before goint to bed and left wifi on. (should turn off when phone sleeps)
The first night i lost about 3% of the battery. Great....
But... The second night i lost 42%!!!
I have been trying to investigate the issue and after some digging with spare parts i found out the wifi was on all the time the second night... Also for some reason car home allways runs in the background (starts at boot and restarts if killed) and spare parts claims car home uses the phone sensors 100% of the time.
Anyone else having battery draining issues?
Im going to charge 100% again tonight and run with no installed user apps. If the problem persists i try and freez some of the loads of sys apps that run in the background all the time.
I also noticed some battery drain on mine but not over 40%... its more like 20%. The battery really disappoints me anyway. I have to recharge two or three times a day?l maybe thr battery needs to get trained over time, I hope...
You found a solution yet?

My battery already holds up alot better now, then when i got the phone four days ago.
About 60-70% left after a 14 hour day with some surfing, benching and calling/texting. Much better then my Desire on stock ROM, but still nowhere near the Desire on custom ROM.
Looking forward to some community goodness
BTW, removing carhome.apk seems to make quite the difference.

That's good to hear. Is it common for batteries to act this way? Talk about wildin' out.

In case anyone's interested what "carhome.apk" does, Google explains it here.

Same here
Quick question about best used on the battery ...
Should we dry the battery to 0 for the first cycle ?
Or only to 20% ?
Is it bad if we start to charge the phone whent the battery is at 60% ?
On the contrary:
modern Li-Ion batteries don't like it if you discharge them to a minimum. Moreover they don't have the memory effect that you seem concerned about.
In a nutshell: Charge your phone whenever you can, at any charge level. Your battery will thank you.
On the first few charges though, you should always charge to 100% to help the battery gain her full efficiency
hey thx about those informations
but then i'm concerned about people saying stuff like "have been doing 3 life circle" for me it does mean they put the battery dry clean ...
Went to bed with 64% charge on the battery. When I woke up (8 hours later), still 64%.

I think it might be because I froze all the applications I didn't need.
Been really impressed by this phone's battery. Definitely better than everything htc has to offer.

What's your usage like?
Hmm... My phone last for 6 hours before drained... Had it for a week now... Takes about 2 hours to fully charge up again..
I even hardreset, turned of wifi etc... but alas, 6 hours and it was out of power again...
And that was just by being in standby.
If I actually use the phone, I can see the percentages going down from 100 - 0 in no time..

7 am: Full charged
After 2 hours of 3g, 5 hours of wifi, heavy texting, 30 mins of call, 30 mins of games
7pm: still has 36%
Not bad for an android phone.

i charge phone over night with internet disabbled so thats not the problem
Well if you sleep for 4 hours then your battery should be fine. If you sleep 8 hours your battery must really hurt so bad.

Try a full wipe. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, wipe battery stats, format /cache/system/data. Flash a stock based rom, power off, charge phone for 3 hours or a bit more & turn it on. There you go...

Try to come bake to stock GB DDKQ8 as it is latest for our Ace..
downloading it now but i think this maybe a hardware problem not software my 2 options are to send it in or to by a motherboard for 15$ and try that

I don't think that's accurate because the ACE has an internal system to cut the pump once it detects a fully charged batt. After that the current is kept at a bare minimum just to prevent discharge. Very much like modern laptops (and almost everything nowadays)...
still havnt found a fix very interesting that every time i go to task manager i have about 18 aplication open when i havnt opened any also download better battery stats and it came back ar6k_wow as a kernal wakelock and gtalk_async_conn as a partial wakelock not sure if these are contributing to the battery loss
Ok, I must report that it worked:
Rooted phone, battery calibrated, four or five full recharges, about three hours charging, and full discharges, discharging until phone shuts down.
Now battery perform well, voltage is still shown 0,004V, but it doesn't affect battery life.
i have had several chages and discharges and battery callbrations many times didnt work. then i thought maybe my old gio ran the same battery and it did. pluged it in charging is at a normal pace but yet to see it discharge keep use posted tommorow how it goes

1% of battery last forever...

I bought a moto G 2014 for my dad a couple days ago and I'm really impressed by the phone.
But now I found a problem on the battery and I can't find the solution.
The moto charge with no problems and can last long enough ( 3h sot and 1d of use), but the last 1% last forever...
I have tried to calibrate the battery with the methods that I found on google. Do a complete discharge, keep the phone on the charger for more than 8 hours, but with no luck.
I don't want to root the phone, so there is a solution or should I request for replace for other?
stock 4.4.4
re-calibrate your battery
If you don´t want to root because of warranty there isn't much that i can think of, besides of reflashing your stock ROM (doesn´t need root as long as it's official) and factory reseting your phone.
I suggest that it you try any of theese 2, you first drain the battery, and then fully charge it so the stats are written correctly when you do the process.
Hope this can help and good luck!
Brendon.

Naa man, it really doesn't help. It's one of the big myths out there. This was buster here over in XDA, a long time back.
What he needs to do is drain his battery a couple of times and charge it to 100 percent each time without interruption. That should do it.

There is nothing we can do about it, the battery is awful. It would only work fine for a couple of months and then start showing its aging signs.

battery question please read

I have had the Pixel 4 XL for 2 months when I first got it the battery was amazing. It was lasting about 1 and 1/2 days. Now it says based on your usage that only lasts about 20 hours. Does anybody have the same issue? And if so how did they fix it do I just keep the phone on and standby mode and my battery usage will go up what do you guys suggest thank you in advance

Lower your usage or factory reset it to wipe the usage info
bradmill08, if anything the battery should get better after a period of use with the device not the other way around. There are so many things that could be the culprit, you need to dig a little deeper into what is actually using the battery. A wipe of the device is an option but I would work on figuring out what the issue(s) is/are first. Also, could be hardware, not out the realm of possibility the battery is defective.
Wiping is the extreme thing to do. There's no need to do that. It really depends on your usage. If you've been using your phone more since you've gotten it, the estimate is going to decrease. I'm down to only 12 hours and 14 minutes. But if I don't charge it overnight for a few nights in a row, that idle time will increase my "Full charge lasts about".
