So I have my battery case always connected to my phone. It says in battery usage "input device" under android system, would that be the battery case sucking out my battery???

Hiya
So I've got my new battery for the phone today, says it's 1600mAh even tho I doubt it, but as the stock is 1230mAh should I wipe battery stats when I've charged the 1600mAh battery to max or will there be no real difference?
Also, is there an app to see how much mA your battery packages atm, to see how much it is when it's fully charged for instance?
I've gotten my seidio extended battery and have never really tested it to its limits. I would like to have it functioning optimally. I have the app "Battery Monitor" installed which can calculate the percentage left via the voltage as opposed to the stock battery indicator. I am currently showing 57% via the voltage monitor and 35% via the stock monitor. I have found that my battery can drop to ~1% (according to the stock indicator) however the voltage indicator would be at something like ~30%...my phone would turn itself off at that point in time and I would not be able to take advantage of the reported battery....I have followed directions from: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-general-discussion/18216-disable-low-battery-warning.html...I bootstrapped and reset the battery...but nothing. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in this or could help me out.
Thank you.
I think if you go into the screen where you clear the Dalvik Cache in the recovery menu there's a battery settings function. If i've read some of these posts correctly, that calibrates the phone to the battery. basically re-adjusts the 0-100 range on the phone.
You need to do this when the battery is fully charged.
Draining your battery all the way down will destroy your batteries capability of holding a charge in the future.
Your phone is suppose to only charge to ~90% and cut off at ~10%.
Ultimately this means you are only using 80% of your battery, but it's how Li-Ion batteries works.
If you truly drain it all the way down you ruin the battery.
There are some things you can do to recalibrate the software that determines the charge level of the battery though, like the above post suggests.
I don't know if you're running a custom ROM, but if you are or aren't you should definitely check into changing your phones Kernal to Chad's or IncrediKernals. They drastically improve battery life.
For me, it gave massive improvements for 'screen off' (1% depletion every 1 hour) and significant improvements when using the phone.
Of course I'm using the HTC extended battery, but that was much better than the 3-5% per hour I got before.
hello,
please tell me what's wrong with my xda iis. when the power below 75% and i activated wifi/camera/any apps, oftenly it turn off by itself. also, it often signal loss or cannot make/receive calls. thanxs
I bought a new battery today, a Chinese knock-off battery which claims to have a capacity over 2000. I live in Mongolia, so that's basically my only option if I want a replacement battery, since there's basically no postal system here.
When I first put in the battery, it showed a 59% charge. After a few minutes and maybe a reboot, it showed a 20% charge. It consistently drained down to zero, and I'm charging it now.
I've experienced really strange battery drain with the former battery (also a Chinese knock-off) where it loses maybe 10 percent an hour on idle, so I figured the battery needs to be replaced. Is there anything I can do to calibrate it? I have a feeling that the charge is actually more than is being shown, but no way to confirm my suspicions. Am I right just to try to charge it to 100% and discharge it to 0% until the battery life gets better, or is there something else to do? I should mention I've tried resetting the battery stats in CWM with no real effect.
Thanks from Mongolia.
Go into recovery when battery is at 100% and go to advanced then clear battery stats or download battery config for rooted devices and clear battery stats that way.

Clearing battery stats achieves nothing other than deleting the stats on the what has been using battery power. Battery calibration isn't required on our phones.

if you want to increase battery life for your new battery, charge it fully to 100% whenever you charge it will increase charge storing capacity of the battery

Never, ever I repeat never let your battery drop below around 5%, and always charge it before it reaches zero. I use the Guage Battery widget v3 pro as it is very accurate, but you can also get the free version. You can & should use the free battery calibration tool from the Google play store, simply install it & charge the battery to 100% then run the calibration App. simples

Over the course of months of flashing, I have noticed that my battery life drains really fast. I'm currently running AOKP. I think I calibrated the battery correctly yet I still have terrible battery life. I charged it to 100%, used an app, Battery Calibration, to reset the battery stats, let it drain to 0%, the plugged it back in. The battery said 57% so I charged it back to 100% yet the battery life is still awful. My brightness is at the lowest setting, my WiFi is off, and I am using Greenify to hibernate applications. I've attached pictures of my battery life (from GSam) and pictures of what my software looks like. What is causing the drain? How can I fix it? If anybody can help, I'd be very thankful.
Edit: I have a Hyperion 4200 mAh battery. I replaced the stock battery but it didn't seem to make a difference. The voltage reads at about ~4200 mAh when at 98%.
Edit 2: My battery was at ~60% then I shut it off and plugged it in. It is now at 2%... Should I charge to 100% then reset battery stats?
so is it just me or does setting up this watch drain the battery VERY fast? I just got my 360 this morning and when setting it up, pairing it to my galaxy s3, etc, the battery went from 100% to 75% in a matter of 1/2hr, is this normal?
During setup a lot of data is sent to the watch which causes the increased battery drain. After everything is synchronized you should see battery life stabilize after a couple of charge cycles.
