If your phone is charged. Your charger keeps it at 99 or 100 percent. It doesnt stop and start and stop and start charging..

u mean there is no harm to my sgs battery if i keep using usb tethering for over 8 hrs continuously at 100% battery ?

I use wifi tethering everyday with my SGS at 100% almost all the day, and my battery still works fine.

Some kernels like Mackay and Devil have Battery Saver option where you can choose to charge your phone up to a percentage you desire (80 to 100% adjustable)

[Batt] Safe to Overcharge?

I'd like to check if its safe to leave my phone charging for 7+ hours. It will be nice to leave the phone charging as I sleep.
But without a timer this would easily mean 3+ extra hours of it being left charging when it's already fully charging.
Will overcharging on a daily basis lead to any problems?
Thanks.
No. Charging overnight is fine.

The phone stops charging at 100% and lets it drop to 95% before starting to charge again to combat overcharging.
Many thanks.
Thanks given to all 3 of u!
So u people say that custom Roms can be safe when we over charge
By automatically stopping it or discharging a little bit.
I use a galaxy note.however replacing it with a htc one...
I won't mod them by installing custom Roms and all..
What if I do the same wit it now?(overcharging?)
Its the same for stock.
Its not possible to overcharge it. And the ROM you are running will have no effect on this behaviour.
Its all controlled by the charging circuits inside your phone.
They read the amount of millivolts that your battery is giving out.
These are not exact numbers (just an example)
Low battery - 800mv
You put it on charge
When your phone reaches 2000mv - full battery
it will stop accepting voltage in
While it is still plugged in your battery can fall to about 1940mv at which point it will start charging again until it reaches 2000again.

Ok cool, I see. Despite what you said above, I also have been doing this for a short period but when i get up in the morning, my htc one m8 are hot at the back. When i remove the charger the heat disperses. Can you tell me if this is normal? Also my phone are using 4.4.2 which is not the latest update.

Charging very slow

I am using kimsmod stock(stock rom) now,but with all roms my phone charging in 3-4 hours from 20-30% with original htc charger.is normal?

How much takes for you to charge phone?

Woww that's a lot ..... I think the problem is from the battery because I used to have a phone which used to go from 10% to 100% in 20 min ....so you may have to change your battery because the charger isn't related(I think )

Wait for other answers ... IN 20 MIN YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED FROM 10% TO 100% ?? :laugh:
Yes,that's a lie !(in my opinion)
Try this:
Try to use the battery till the shutdown point.
let it switch off.
charge the phone untill the light turns green (100%)
Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
now reboot.
Maybe that'll help.
Normally i guess it takes some 1.5 - 2 hours to charge using HTC charger. I'm not quite sure as I never noticed this before lol.
Also try to charge your phone when it reaches below 20% only and until it's 100% in one go, I've heard it gives a little boost to life by saving a recharge cycle and also it charges much efficiently.

[Q] New battery problems

Hi guys
recently i bought new battery because my old one used to jump
from 70% to 100% and had really bad battery life.
i replaced the battery and calibrated it and i noticed that the 20% from 100% to 80% goes down realy fast
should i recaibrate the battery?
what should i do? thanks!
It depends on the rom u r using.
All roms except stock based roms have this problem.

Im using aosp by maclaw studios
the weird thing is that the 70% acts like it 100% and im having really good battery life
from 70%
Its a problem in sumsung charge system.
In custom roms when u full charge battery it is about 80 % charged.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2
I think you should charge it when the phone is turned off. I noticed that my phone tells me it is "Charged" when it is turned on. However the actual percentage in Go Power Master is 80%.

so it has nothing to do with the battery quality and the battery calibration?
the problem will not appear in the stock rom?
Thats if needed. To check if the battery is fully charged, try these step.
1. Charge the when it is running until it says "Charged".
2. Turn off the phone and keep the charger plugged in.
3. The battery image will appear. If it is not full, wait till it full. When it shows 100% then it is fully charged.
Note that powering up the phone takes some significant amount of battery. If the battery is still draining fast. Calibrate may be needed.

enchanced rom shows 100 percent but still shows charging. So I guess it fully charges
Well the battery level seems to be jumping unusually from time to time . What i do is i wipe the battery stats from cwm , i leave it over night to fully charge without doing anything to it , calibrate the battery with `battery calibration` from playstore , full discharge and full charge again . I do this after each rom that i flash and it seems to do good and seems to point the right amount. Anyway the charge lasts as i hope it lasts , from 1 day if i do stuff with it like some wifi , some messaging , many minutes of calls .... to about 3 days if i do only calls. Cheers

20 minutes at 100% charge.

Hello everyone,
I observed a strange behavior of my arc s , when the phone reaches 100% charge and later when i unplug it my phone spends almost 20 minutes at this point and after some time it starts to discharge ie. it comes down by 1%.
But if i use it hear after it discharges rapidly.
I find this behavior very odd !
Can anyone explain me this behavior ???
Thank you in advance.

Check battery use
Check battery use to see what is consuming the battery
Maybe WIFI and sleep policy,Bluetooth,Network type WCDMA/GSM ,GPS and accounts sync ?
Observe the diagram or the slope in the battery use to see is your battery draining fast or is it normal,also what rom and kernel are you using
Isn't that the normal behaviour of a battery coming from a smartphone? .-. Mine's like.. 20 minutes on 100% before starting going down, and it doesn't affect my overall battery life at all..

I have observed all of that.
Everything is fine, as the display uses the battery predominantly.
My guess is that is a sign for use to change the battery.
And also i see spikes in chart instead of going down the charge goes up and down.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
how old is the battery?
how old is the battery ?if the spike goes up that means it is connected to USB and the phone is charging .attached is my battery usage 7 % in 11 hours the slope is continuously going down as it's been unplugged and running on battery only ,phone and battery are a year and half old
The "spikes" you refer to are because your battery isnt well calibrated...
You can charge it fully, use it and when its around 5% charge it again to full. And if you delete the battery stats your battery must sette down over some day or two.
But for a better response you need to upload a picture of your battery stats.
My battery sometimes stays in 100% some minutes, some other times is goes down to 99 very quicky, but its normal for me cause it usually lengths for two days + with normal use

Its a year old.
Yes i totally agree the oly time the graph should go up is when its plugged in and not wen unplugged.
But i sometimes see the spikes when unplugged.
Nevertheless it has not degraded the performance.

[Q] Galaxy Tab S 10.5 doesn't charge to 100%??

hi there.
i bought a brand new Galaxy Tab S 10.5, ive been charging it overnight. on the screen i always see that it is at 100%(while the device is off).
as soon as i unplug the charger and turn the device on, battery drops down to 99%.
however, as soon as i reconnect the charger while the device is on, it then charges to 100% and stays on 100% for a bit after some use.
just wondering if others have the same issue? or if its normal for it to not charge/stay on 100%?
and also how quick do others devices drop down from fully charged to 98 or 97%? because mine seems to last just a few minutes between the full charge-97%, when its updating apps and receiving notifications once I turn it on.
the battery will not be charged if it reachs 100% . btw it is normal , you dont have to be worry

ok, but how quick is it meant to drop down from fully charged to 98 or 97%
there isn't much running in the background. checked it using task manager and i only have basic apps running on the tab.
especially when its updating apps or on initial start up....it drops down within a few minutes.
I also face this kind of problem right after I bought this Tab, but 8.4 version, it will stuck at charging 100% for a long time but from 15 to 100 only takes 2 hour. Plus ,the battery drain a lot.Drop 1% in a minute.. But after a few cycle it gets better and dont have this kind of problem anymore.

ok cool. well i'll try a few charging cycles then.
also, when i connect it to the Desktop PC with the USB cord, it shows on the tablet that it isn't charging, it has an ex on the battery icon.....but in actual fact, the battery percentage does go up??? how or why??

The X on your battery icon, when connected to PC means that you do not have enough power from a USB port to charge the device. The tab recognizes that it is connected to a USB source but the USB port is not outputting enough voltage to charge your tablet. This is normal. These tablets are not meant to be charged from a computer. Nothing to worry about

ummm but the battery percentage does go up....
But very slowly right?

I have the tab on sitting on my desk connected to PC. It charges, but if you use it at the same time charging can hardly keep up.
If I remember correctly it charges around 5 % an hour when connected to my PC.
