Battery not reading right - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Recently when my phone has been dying a lot and when I go to charge it reads 48 percent after I plug it in and it charges from there. I'm not sure what the deal is or if I need a new battery or its just about that time for my phone. If anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

might have to recalibrate your battery. try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
if that doesnt work then, reflash rom and kernal.
if that doesnt work, might need to get a new battery :/

I'm guessing new battery. I've seen similar issues before and that's what usually needed to be replaced.

You could also do two of the following which has helped me on other devices with power problems...
1. The golden contacts on your phone and battery, use a normal pencil eraser and rub slowly to clean any dirt blocking the path of electricity. This can help by allowing the battery and contacts to clearly and completely make a cycle. Remember to clean off the eraser shavings with your hand!
2. Take out the battery and hold down your phones power button for 15 seconds to power drain your device from any small charge that might reside.
If this doesn't work it more than likely means the lithium ion battery is running out of capacity..no big deal it happens. You can pick up an OEM replacement 2100MaH battery from Samsung on eBay for as little as 8$. Or a 7000MaH battery known as ZeroLemon for 40$.

Should you choose to buy a new battery, may I recommend that you get one of the monster power houses of 7000 MAH ?

Issues with my new Mugen Power battery

Hello guys. My Mugen Power 4600mah battery arrived yesterday. I directly attached new battery to my S3. Then I charged to %100 then I wiped battery stats. But It seems there is no difference between stock battery and this? What I did wrong? Help please!
I'm using the 2300MAH MUGEN and ive the same problem

As with any new battery give it a few full discharge / charge cycles before thinking something is wrong.

you might have to drain it and recharge it several times before you can tell the difference.
It usually takes me 5 cycles for batteries to show their full potential.
today my battery was good more, but I couldn't finish it. It was %40 or around of it. I plugged it into charger. I will wait 8-12hours. Is it good ?

Shouldve ran a HD video over youtube at max brightness to kill the rest. Should do a 1-2 full discharge and recharge with the phone off. Then charge the phone whenever.

Extra battery problem

Bought two extra batteries to have in reserve or if I'm on a long trip being able to switch without charging. However I have been preoccupied with other things so I haven't switched among the batteries for over a month. I have a charge dock with holder for an extra battery and do another battery is always charging in it. I realizedthat I hadn't switched for a while so I took out my battery and inserted one of the others. Unfortunately it seems completely dead, the same goes for the one sitting in the charge dock. Is there anything I can do to revive those batteries? Or do I just have to eat crow? If nothing else, let this be a cautionary tale.

Maybe you should try to charge the batteries using your Note and not the external charger.

I have it a new try, removed the battery, inserted a depleted and charged it directly in the phone bypassing the dock. First it showed a yellow warning triangle which worried me but I let it stay. Lo and behold the next morning the battery was charged to 100%. Wonder why it works directly but not in the dock? Strange, anyway thank you for your suggestion.

I cannot tell you why exactly it worked out for you but generally phones have more or less sophisticated circuits to charge batteries and avoid overcharge. Maybe the circuits in your dock are not optimal and thus it did not recognize the empty battery. I'm glad you could solve your problem.

Just a little update. Turns out I can get life back into the Samsung original battery but the no-brand Chinese gold battery with 3250 mAh rating is completely dead. So I guess there is something to be said for original parts.

By right a fat battery is not recommended for continued usage because it is at higher risk of acid leakage which could damage your battery contacts on your phone, as well as pose a risk of potentially exploding although chances of that is highly unlikely. Just get a battery from ebay or local-ebay-like websites (like malaysia we have lelong.com) and order a cheap battery. While waiting for it to arrive u can still use your puffy battery haha

As far I know there is no acid in Li-Ion batteries. But if it´s already puffing and looking like pregnant, do not use it at all. Even not if the phone is all the time connected to the carger. Because it will charge and discharge often, which will make this all even worse by heating up the battery.
The battery is already building gases in it and when it explodes you man not only loose your phone but your fingers too. This happened already to a few people in the past, so this is not just hypothetical. But don´t ask me now to which phones this was related. I just know it were cheap Li-Ion batteries from a yard sale.
Litium is also high reactive with moisture, so it can even burn into you transpirating skin.
So better replace it with a new one. They don´t cost that much.

Actually,I've bought the new one. But, I just wanna use that puffing battery only for wifi or usb tethering, not for daily use. Maybe only used for 3-4 hours. Is it harmful too?. Anyway, thanks for the comment guys. :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2
As has been mentioned before.....DO NOT continue to use that battery......the "puffiness" is a sign of a build up of gasses....eventually this build up of gasses will reach a critical point, and the battery seals will fail. This might mean that the liquid inside the battery begins to leak out, or as honeyx says, it might mean that the battery explodes. In one case the phone will be damaged through corrosion, in the other case, the phone suffers major damage along with your hand. Continued use (charging/discharging) will only speed this process up......so stop using it NOW and throw it away......

Yes do it. The sooner the better.
Btw the battery is stressed more if its charged and discharged at the same time than in daily use. So by using it for wifi thethering by keeping it connected to the charger, will stress this defective battery more than just by only charging it or discharging.
There is nothing to argue about. It´s like pepoluan and keith already said. Not worth the risk, so do it now.
You can´t replace the phone or your fingers for just $10-20 like the battery.

Battery life

Hey guys. Im just wan to know how much battery use other phones with screen on and using 4g data conection (no wifi). Mines use 1% per 3 minutes of constantly use. A remember b4 it used 1% per 5-6 minutes. Can someone help me knowing others results ro compare?

I can generally browse for "a few" hours on 4G without needing to plug in. I don't pay much attention to specifics as unlike the Note 1, the Note 2 isn't very limiting for me. The Note 1 was awful for needing a micro-reactor in your pocket almost. Do you keep your battery over 90% charge often? It's possible it's getting weaker as it gets older. You can order a replacement battery cheap enough and see. They also usually come with an external charger so you could just swap batteries and go. I do that on long road trips.
Is true the replacement battery maybe hurt the phone bcse they have diferent voltage? I heard that from some guy in yhe shop.

If you get a real Samsung battery I'd think not. Make sure the voltage matches. I can't remember, is the S3 3.7V or 3.8V? I got an Anker extended battery and it improved the battery life immensely.

It depends on many different factors not just screen on and 4g on. 1% per 3 minutes equates to 300 minutes or 5 hours. I have drained my battery completely in 4 +/- hours time. It's completely normal as I have other phones to compare it with. I have another note 2, 2 galaxy s3, iPhone 4s,5s that I have tested against and they provide worse battery life in same situation.
Not all these phones are mine. I just swap it with family/friend members to test out for a day or two.
For batteries I recommend Anker. I have 2 Ankers for my note 2 and 3 Ankers for my galaxy s3.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Since I use my N2 as my laptop replacement and am on it all day, battery life was a problem for me from the beginning. I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without much success as far as saving a lot of power, I ended up buying three extra OEM batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I also picked up this, and, obviously, now, I am never without power. Also, I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.

MobileTechReview does a review of the Zero Lemon. The back case is the only thing that keeps me from getting it. Not that it sticks out, but that it's like a soft rubber. The whole back. The video shows it better than I can explain it.

Think that was the original case they reviewed? They changed it a little bit (better fit) before the release a week or two ago. They are also coming out with a rugged case in about a month.

[Q] Bloated battery issue

Hello guys...
Earlier today, i decided to remove my SD Card when i realize theres a weird hump on my back cover... When i remove it, i was quite shocked to see my battery ALMOST off the Place where u put the battery on.. I got quite scared and imagined what would happen if this continues... (Explosions) Every time, i Force FastCharge ON when i plug on to the wall charger to charge.. Yes it does charge faster but i don't exactly know if that is the real problem or.not... I also wanted to buy a new battery but since i live in Singapore, there aren't as much shops that sells accesories for the Galaxy Wonder. So are there any solutions on how to debloat a battery or smth

how old is ur battery btw? ur phone will not function well and its very annoying, coz it won't last long. the fact that it's already bloated, just replace it asap coz it may dmg ur phone. idk know if it's related to fast charge thing, but same thing happened to my battery a few months ago using fast charge (usb charging only).
google search, there r a lot of cheap battery for sgw but whether its reliable or not is questionable.
oem battery in sillypore cost S$58/pc @ samsung service centre.
i was looking for one a few months ago, found a compatible battery at www.battery.com.sg but out of luck was not in stock.
i think they should have stock by now, they have a shop at sim lim square on the second floor (closed on sunday).
i dun know the price, i presume it will be cheaper than oem and have better power @ 1800mAh. :good:

2) buy from battery.com compatible battery (fake or not).
3) buy from web site (all made-in-china, some claims >2000mah but same size which r not possible. reliability in question).

Bro, I bought a netbook from Sim Lim and my dad used it for 6 years and we only had to put a reserve battery... I think you are safe. Singapore is a clean country after all. Anyway, the Samsung shops sell the batteries at 55 bucks so I just bought one non-original one from a pasar malam, which is supposedly made to last for 6-7 months. This is my second month using it and I don't see any problems... good luck bro and brofist to a fellow Singaporean...

As I posted already many times. Do not use FastCharge. Those batteries are designed to be charged with about 0.7C max. Which means 0.7 x capacity. So for the SGW this means 0.7 x 1500 = 1050mA max. Faster charging will kill the battery sooner or later.
So yes, it will get bloated also. The same way like stressing it a lot at heavy usage.
And this is also the reason I do not enable FastCharge in my kernel.

oh my... Okay, 1 thing, what happens if FastCharge is Ticked but the battery isn't charging? And what will happen if the battery can't hold it? Will it.explode?

When it´s not charging nothing should happen, but if it´s charging and the battery can´t hold it then yes, the battery can explode. It will build gases inside the battery till the case can´t hold them and they evaporate as a big bang. This can even happen after the charging.
Some years ago I´ve seen some pics made by a rather mature man whose phone exploded in his hand. His hand was in half between the middle fingers. The kitchen full of blood. He made the pics with the other hand and I guess he was under shock while doing them, so he didn´t feel the pain.
So better charge it normal. This is better for you and your battery.

Why would he take a pic... anyway, heed what honeyx says and get a new one and charge it normally.

I was woundering too. It was not just one pic but several pics. But well he made some and posted them in a forum with the whole story. Just can think of he made them to sue the company he got the phone from in the first place and finally also posted them to warn others to what can happen.
About a week ago there was also something about a girl in the tv news whos smartphone exploded in her pocket due to a overheating battery. The litium burned into the skin and she needs the skin to be transplanted.
It´s simply not worth to deal with fast charging and bloated batteries. Batteries, phones, cars or houses. Everything of them can be replaced but health can not.
I believe phone shop in Johor got selling Wonder battery
UPDATE: funnily, the phone started to give false info abt the battery for some reasons.. Like, when its 65%, it auto shutdown and then i have to start it back up and was shocked to find it 1% and well, shutdown again... Is this normal for this kind of battry?

Normally, a recalibration should fix it... But it won't fix your battery bloating issue obviously...

Please not again about recalibration and /or whiping battery stats. They get whiped on each reboot and so also the battery gets recalibrated. Calibrating is nothing more than collecting statistics about which app you launched how often. The background processes and so on. And this all is collected in the battery stats which gets overwritten on each reboot so you see the current statistics in settings-> battery.

Oh well then your battery is already toast. I´m having here some old Li-Po batteries for flashlights which are doing the same. Charging like normal but doing 5 minutes max. Some even can´t do for just 1 minute. They are just paperweights now.
