It seems like it takes forever to charge my phone now how can I wipe battery stats?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Has nothing to do with battery stats.
It gets auto wiped when you charge your phone to a certain level to almost full.
If it takes too long to charge, get a 1000mah charger and don't use a 500mah one.
Hope it charging from the wall and not a PC

Data/system/ batterystats.bin just delete it.. Or boot into recovery and clear battery stats...you can check your cable or change the outlet at which you charge your phone, you might also want to check your battery for leaks which could potentially damage your phone..

Does anyone else have this issue?
I recently bought the extra battery and charger (that comes with the second batttery) and here within the last few days, I have been charging the unused battery overnight and then it turns greens sometime during the night and then in the morning when I go to put it into my phone, it boots up but states battery life at always less that 60 instead of the full 100%.
So if anyone knows as to why this may be happening, I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this issue that has me pissed.
Thanks in advance and also if somthing like this has been posted then I apologize. I searched and did not see anything along this matter.

So ur not charging battery from ur phone? Try doing that and see if it does the same thing. Is u phone rooted? If it is, than there is a possible resolition.

The external charger may be shutting off too soon. Do what Lord said.
Also please put a subject in when you start a thread like "External charged battery only shows 60%"

Its the same charger I plug into the the spare battery case thing to charge and the light stays red for a long time then it turns green as if its done charging but when inserted battery into phone and power up, its usually around 60% charged or less. But I pull charger out of the spare battery holder and plug directly into my phone and it charges to full ballery.

The battery holder like the phone has a sensor that tells it when to stop. It is working incorrectly....broken.

So when I have my stock 1800mah battery in the phone my charger shows up as USB in the battery stats. It also seems a little touchy when it wants to charge. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the port since I just got the phone Saturday brand new from best buy. The thing that is confusing me when I put my old 1500mah battery from my SGS1 the charger comes up as AC like it should and i have no problem with the charger not wanting to work. Can someone help me out there

You could have a faulty battery, in which some of the cells in the battery may be damaged. How are you attempting to charge your phone? through a usb port on a computer or through an outlet?
Through an outlet.

Yeah most likely its a faulty battery. Manufacture defect

I'll try a different charger Saturday when I get back from my trip and if it still doesn't show up as AC I'll take the battery back to best buy ty

I also have an external charger but an extended life battery acted the same way. It wouldn't charge in the phone. I fully charged it in the external charger then ran the battery in the phone until it shut off. I repeated this a couple more times and now the battery seems to be behaving. It might be worth a try but if it's the only battery you have, then maybe not.
Well I tried using my cousin's charger and it shows up as AC so I'm guessing it's just something with my charger not my battery

Is it better to gully recharge it before I turn on my phone for the first time or should I drain it down to about 1 % and then recharge it? Or does it not matter? Thanks!

How come? Does it calibrate itself?
The manual says to charge it fully before first time use or long time of no use?

Yes it calibrates itself. these new lithium-ion battery are "smart" battery and they have this little trigger that tells them when the battery is fully charge so they dont get over charged or anything. All you need to do is put the battery and start using the phone.

Im sure li-ion batteries are not to be fully drained. To have long battery life, i think you are to charge as often as possible and never let it fully drain - although the phone seems to check voltage and forcefully shuts down when the battery is really low.
Yeah it really doesn't matter.. And it's really never good to let your battery drop to 1%..I try to never let my lithium ion battery go below 10 if I'm near a charger

Yes a fully drained battery isnt as good as charging like around 5% or so but theres no calibration needed, just put the battery and do your thing.

Im using the HTC Evo extended battery. Li-ion 3.7v 3500 mAh battery. The problem is no matter how i try to calibrate it whether using hipkats methods or other methods it WILL NOT measure the full capacity. It never measures more than 1800 mAh. Right now its at 1589 mAh measured with 4233 mV as my max voltage. What is the max possible voltage for this battery? And is there any way at all to get the phone to measure the full 3500 mAh or even close to it? If so please tell me how.

You will not be able to charge any Li battery much more than 4.233 volts or 4.3V tops. Not sure about the methods.
Perhaps you need to reset the app or go into recovery and reset the battery stats.
Like "conductive" said. Go into recovery and wipe battery stats like 3 times. I think the battery must be full before doing it. Wait till it drains out and charge it back to full. Then check again.

Ive done that. That's part of the calibration process. Ive wiped at full charge, let it drain until it shut off from low battery and fully charged without the phone being turned on.

Nothing fixes it or even makes it register the full capacity of the battery...

So I have my S3 Telus 4.3 and I've noticed that it's been experiencing a serious battery drain ever since android 4.1.2. And when I use the phone while it's on charge the battery starts to decrease. I have to keep it on charge for hours without using it until it finally charges to 100%. And when I use it afterwards it instantly goes from 100% to 76% in 10 minutes.
Anyone?

I had the problem of my phone being charging and my battery draining. Switching my micro USB cable fixed it.
If that doesn't help, try clearing cache and/or wiping data. Maybe your battery is almost dead. Try all the variables. In the end the S3 will have around 3 hours of screen on time, those are the facts.
I was unhappy with my battery life so I bought the ZeroLemon 7000mah battery from Amazon. Highly recommend.

Switching to micro-usb?
No, switching cables, so if you have a extra micro USB cable (the one you use to charge your phone) try charging your phone with that instead of the one you're using right now.
