Hey guys, new to the forum. I'm have some battery issues with my Nexus, had the phantom charging thing and replaced whole usb charging board, then it was ok, theeen , it only charge til 50%, 60% if i'm lucky. Bought then battery pack and a wall battery charger. The problem is my Nexus reads the new fully charged batterys as full. Looks like it remembers the last battery level of charge and well, it thinks its not charged, so it shuts off like at 3%. Could it be the battery gauge not resetting or anything? Can it be done manually like in the S2? Thanks in advance

Hello people,
I bought a 3600mAh battery from eBay and just received it couple of hours ago.
So I plugged in the charge cable... and its been a few hours but the battery level still shows as 0%.
Have I gotten a defective battery, or is there something I can do?
Look forward any comments...

nowadays I have seen many of this questions; cradle and usb cannot charge a battery like that; I'm using a 3400mAh battery on my pda; had the same problem.
but it works great with charger.
no, i think usb crade should still charge the extended battery, that is, if you can actually fit it in it charges a lot longer though, that's why i always use charger.
Is that made in china?
I have even seen this on my 1490mah battery. I couldn't keep the phone on and charge at the same when the battery was depleted to zero. I had to turn the phone off and let it charge for about an hour and then it would charge. Don't know if its the same thing for you but you may want to try.
Is it me or does our phones charge super fast?
I drained it to 0% (let the phone die by itself while watching youtube)
Then I plugged it in at 8:05AM this morning.
At 9:05AM it was at 45%.
Pretty impressive.
(Once charged to 100%, should I wipe the battery stats and drain down to 0% again? This is how you would calibrate it correct?)

If you are getting incorrect stats then yes, clear the battery stats. The best way to calibrate is to drain, refill & repeat. Along the way when the battery is 100%, turn it off and charge it till it says its full again. Do this a few times when it's unplugged and you will see better life.
Speaking of fast charge.
I had 17% left at around 12:30pm today. Plugged it in while I went to lunch. Now at 2:50pm, just got notified that it's fully charged. Not bad at all.
Also, I had drained my battery when I received my phone.
How is that even possible!!!!!!!!!
It takes me 3.5 hours to charge it full!!!!!
Damn!!
I have two lines and this is my second SGSII aside to the one I already have...
I got this phone just yesterday and last night was my first full drain....today was my first full charge.
Shouldn't I go into recovery and wipe the batt stats?

I noticed today that the output from the charger for the SGS2 is 5V 1A and all other usb chargers ive gotten recently have an output thats closer to an actual usb port (4.5-5V 500mA) so that might have something to do with it.
My test pool on this hypothesis is quite small though so id be curious if anyone else can corroborate
I notice my battery charges much faster on an official samsung charger. Anything below 1V charges super slow. I want to try a rapid 2V charger but worried it may ruin my battery.. but on the other hand, AFAIK, some samsung car chargers charge @ 2v. They're called "rapid chargers" This is one of those times where you think AH any generic charger would do. I used to be in that camp. But I really found that the Samsung chargers are quickest. Also, they seem less likely to damage the micro usb port due to repeated use due to the fact that the Samsung cables tend to be thin and light weight as opposed to thick and bulky like some eBay cables. The thick and bulky ones feel like they'll give you enough leverage/weight if grabbed the wrong way and tear your micro usb port right off.
In the end, I love the Samsung chargers.
My old galaxy gio's battery swollen and my phone started only with the charger on. I think it broken because i was leaving it charging overnight and using the phone when charging.
Now i have a new Tab 3 so i need to know if the battery will break if i use the tablet when it's charging. About charging it overnight i know it's bad so i won't do it but i'm interested if it's bad to use it when it's charging.
Hello.. this might sound alittle bit old question or maybe repeated alot but i couldn't find the answer at the internet..
i held two samsung galaxy note 1 and 4, and i noticed when the battery fully charged i can't see that charging mark on the battery.. WHAT DOES THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
does that mean the system stopped charging the battery and it won't affect on its lifespan? or it is overcharging?
i noticed in Sony Z3 there is option for night charging which is when the battery is full it will automatically disconnect the charging, is that thing the same in samsung but without any option or it can damage the battery because it keep charging??
i hope i can get the answer....
thank you
With the stock charger, or any decent 3rd party charger, it will stop charging when the battery is full and begin again when needed.
It goes off full charge and goes into trickle charge. The phone won't turn off the charger when it's full.

Ive always wondered about the trikle charge effect on phones as well as laptops. So wouldnt that damage the battery overtime? Continually discharging a tiny bit and recharging over and over again?
I wish there was a definitive answer to this any many other perpetual questions regarding the current crop of Li-ion batteries..
It's supposedly less damaging to top of a lithium ion battery than to fully discharge and charge.

Hi all,
i've got a weird problem with my wireless charger from Samsung.
Every night i put my Galaxy S6 on the wireless charger and in the morning the battery capacity is around 80%. In the history of the battery drain, I can see that it was probably up to 100% charged. My suspicion is that if the battery is 100% charged, the charger turns itself off and the battery somehow self-discharge faster than normal because he is on the (disabled) charger. Is this possible?
I've replaced the charger but same problem again, after that i've contacted Samsung and all they can come up with is that the software should be checked by them. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
