It's not an original battery that i bought.
First charge.
Assuming that it hasn't been used before, is this normal?
Are stats going to change after a few charges or should I delete battery stats to refresh... ?
I don't have much knowledge about these stuff.
Probably I've just been given a used battery, but I gotta ask anyway.
What your SOT look like?
If new there should a huge improvement.
Battery calibration may be off...

SOT is almost the same - 4 hours approx.
I'll check batt. calibration..
I'll calibrate battery, charging full and deleting batterystats, to see if there will be any change.

Same SOT as old one means likely it was a degraded replacement battery. Not good...

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.
Sent from my rooted tomato using xda app
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

Gsam battery monitor reports
Battery Life : 1d 14.9h
Screen On: 2h 15m
I have many days I get home from work and still have over 65% battery... I'm a light user though, I don't play any games on my phone
So with my phone I like to use it until the battery gets very low (sub 5%) so I can aggregate battery stats to see how much I get on a full charge. I have heard that this is bad for the battery though and it should not be allowed to fully discharge very often in order to prolong the battery life.
I was wondering what is the lowest % I should let the battery get to before I should charge again (10%, 20%, 30% etc) to maintain the best battery life and performance.
I suggest just charging your phone every night and not worrying about it unless you plan on keeping it for over 2 years.
Optimal battery percentage is 40%-60%. But heat has a much higher impact on longevity. Mostly the battery will protect itself from to much damage.
Why would optimal be 40% to 60% and not 40% to 100%?

"Turn off phone while charging"
Wonder how important that is.

Depends on what is important to you. It keeps the battery cooler (less/no heat from CPU). Obviously you can't recurve phone calls or text messages when the phone is off though.
In most cases, if you don't plan on keeping your phone for 4 or 5 years, the reduction of battery longevity would not be significant. You may now have say 4 hours SoT with 14 hours standby, and in 3 or 4 years you might get 3-3.5 hour SoT with 11 hours standby. Yes it's a loss, but still 'enough' for most people.

Less stress to the battery. Hybrid cars do this too.
Draining close to 0% will stress the battery more, but it's hard to avoid since we have such a wimp battery.
I just charge it up every night or whenever I have a chance since I use wireless qi chargers. By the way, wireless charging creates heat because the inefficiency which is also bad for the battery.
hi,
I have just received a replacement battery, have had a charge discharge cycle, and it look ok.
But I did just figured that the temperature reading is nothing but real :
- put the phone outside at -5°C for 30 min, batterie temp reading :23°C
- put the phone in charge on a QuickCharge 2 charger and go from 20% to 70% : 15°C
It seems to be a common thing on spare replacement batteries to have bad or simply NO temperature sensor.
For my Nexus 5 I have had the same issue.
The question is : is this temperature reading used to stop charging when its getting to much hot or even the phone itself?
Or does the phone itself has its own temp sensor that will shut it down or stop charging?
Edit : the litle white humidity disc checker on the same face as the contact is also missing...
Thanks
I also have a "5000 mah" slim battery, it is showing 23 degree non stop, so obviously not working. It gives me great battery life though.
Yeah the temp sensor is bugged

Yes, it is a slim one. They have relisted it https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1Pc...32664650213.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.e4MP7m. It was gone from the site for about one month.
Yeah I have that same one with no issues. Love that brand

thx, i will get those batterys to test them out.
is the battery life (same usage and apps) better than on original battery?
i think my original battery is degreasing its power it can store, because i am using it ~1,5 years now.
thx

I'd say yes but the TQTHL is way better

My orig bat is still crankin. 1.25 years later. Im impressed
I did this for testing purposes....
With my Original Battery I charged with USB 2.0 Quick Charge and with my LG OEM Battery Charger and I got 2 Hours more with the Battery Charger. My Test: had the screen [email protected] and in the whole time. So 5HRs vs 3HRs
Note: the OEM Battery Charger doesn't have Quick Charge. To my understanding you should always charge slow and not fast. I find these Quick Charge Technology just a gimmick
Now out of curiosity. Are all these batts with incorect temp readings throwing warning aboit device to hot or cold????
No, I have no warnings, it works a bit better than stock, I have 4-5 hours of SOT during 40h time (I charge the phone every other night all night).
My G4 is brick
I need your help
Is that TOTHL battery really 5000mAh? I feel like a lot of those budget extended batteries all lie about capacity.

It's a lie! I bought one and its real capacity even less than original. Don't waste your money!
I call BS! on that. Look at my Thread

Too late!! I already bought it, but it wasn't too expensive (2 x $20 usd, shipped)
So far, the same SOT as the stock batteries. I doubt they'll last long, after multiple cycles.
The biggest battery saver has been uninstalling Facebook Messenger...sad.

You do realize these Slim Extended Batteries or and All Extended Battery can't be charged with USB? Time&Time again i keep saying y'all need to buy these Battery Chargers! (Linked in My Thread)
Truth: Either a Chip in the battery, Motherboard via Phone or.... inside the OS Kernel is it's locked @3000mah so if you charge (via USB) a Extended Battery it'll charge only @3000mah and nothing more. I've tested it. Even charging overnight

there could be lots of factors - 1) battery age, 2) background activities, 3) sensors enabled etc. You need give more details on your setup, and battery usage screenshot to give a better explanation

Does the battery last you through your average day?
Or does it drop steadily by 2% every 3 minutes all the way down to zero in a couple of hours?
The latter scenario would be worth investigating.
