Hello, I replaced my stock battery that had 1450mah to one that has 1600mah and it only charges to 1450mah. I erased the battery stats and changed the rom, but still charges to 1450mah whatever I try.
I even tried with the Battery Calibrator from John Richards that I used a long time ago to fix the 15% battery shutdown and when I go to learning mode it says that my battery has a capacity very high, like 27000mah, which is obviously wrong, but I can't change it to another value with this battery in. Please help me to change the maximum current to 1600mah.
Thanks!
Anybody?
You bought a cheap aftermarket battery.
This battery won't work with batterycalibrator app.
The registers of this battery cannot be read.
So all values you get are not reliable.
Two beer or not two beer, that's the question
Ok, but isn't there a way to manually change the value of the battery capacity, no matter what battery I have in it?

Hello folks..
I have a HTC Desire CDMA and I bought a Extended battery (3500 mAh to be exact) and this battery lasts just about as long as my normal battery does. It is thick enough to be 3 of my regular batteries, and it is alot heavier, so i know it wasnt a scam, plus there was good reviews... but, The only difference that I get with this extended battery, is that it stays at 100% for about 3 hours, and then starts booming down the charts on battery level.. I mean, i normally have about 25% at the end of the day with this extended battery, but i figure that it should atleast last 2 days on a full charge.... with it being 3500 mAh.. I mean, wow... Can someone help me? Im using a trusted stable battery saving kernel and rom.. so I know that's not the problem..
bump.........?

Do you have a custom rom? Try to download SpareParts from the market and unplug the charger when it says "charged". For my Samsung i5500 and a cyanogen rom the phone says "charged" a lot of time before the real charge...i think that the batterystats file isn't calibrated on your new battery, and so it says charged before...if you have a custom rom i think it's useful (if not necessary) to do a battery ricalibration (i.e charge the phone until the 100% then wipe the battery stats via recovery and then let the phone discharge until the 0%)
I don't know if this will help you, i hope!
I think
When i go back home tomorrow and pick up my extended battery, i will try this. thanks.
edit: yes i have a custom rom. it's oxygen.
I never have really understood battery stats. I figure they must be some matrix of voltages and time, so the phone can say "X voltage = Y% battery left".
And I just flashed to the new stock Samsung ICS ROM, today was my first day, and I notice that I'm getting about 6-7 hours less battery life, which is pretty extreme.
I've got two Chichitec 2000mah batteries and a stock 1800mah battery. I haven't had any need to swap batteries before - but if battery life is going to be this terrible, I may have to.
So what are the consequences of swapping batteries? How does it impact your battery stats if your battery dies by say, 8pm, and you swap in a fresh battery to keep going for the rest of the day?

To make it simple.. I know they say give it a few cycles of charging and that it could possibly get better.. Also try installing badass battery monitor too see what's eating your battery
And swapping batteries.. It doesn't impact anything to my understanding.. I've read on XDA and known numerous people who swap batteries and never mentioned any consequences
Ever since last week, my battery has been misrepresenting the % of battery. For example, last week, I had fully charged my phone in the morning and it said 100%. Right after I pulled out the charger, it said it was at 60% battery. When I used my phone, it dropped 1-2% every minute. I thought it was an app or something that was doing this, so I installed Battery Doctor. It didn't really make a difference.
I'm posting this, because right now it's worse than ever. It said that I had 100% battery and then right after I pulled out the charger, it said it was at 56% battery. After I closed the screen, it said 100% battery again. Then it started to drop %'s every few seconds.
Some information that might be handy:
- I've had the S3 for 1 1/2 years now
- Was rooted, after update, root was removed and I haven't bothered
-Attached to the pictures are two pictures of my battery today. I haven't done anything but screenshot twice.
Also if it is a battery problem, what type of battery should I get? I'm thinking of buying an Anker 4400 mAh Extended battery (http://www.amazon.ca/Extended-GT-I9300-T-Mobile-Cellular-EB-L1G6LLU/dp/B009GVG8FA).

Chances are that your battery is dying. I don't really know which one is best to get as replacement though.
You should also take a look at what is using your battery, there might be more than a dying battery (app, system). Can also get OS Monitor to see if something is over-using your ram/cpu.
N.B.: Extended battery makes your back cover much larger, you'll also need a different case (if you're using one).

Nothing's using up my battery because I checked through a multitude of apps and the processes running were all the same as before my battery was really dying. I do have a case so I guess I'll just try to find a smaller battery. Thanks for confirming my suspicion about my battery!
I have the ZeroLemon battery. 2300 ma. Same size as stock battery. It was a good deal. They give you 2 batteries and wall charger. Only downside is it does not have NFC. I don't use it so didn't bother me.

I got the zero lemon 2300 and I went from 1.5 hrs of screen on time to a little over 4 hrs of screen on time. Once while doing nothing but watching videos I got 5.5 hrs. My phone is the same age as yours. Seems that is about the lifespan of smart phone batteries.
edited to add that my phone would lose 2.5 % an hr while idle, but now it's only 0.4%.
Hi.
My name is Andre.
I have an xperia play that I've been using as a pocket emulator for years.
I have the NexPlay Rom installed, as well the recommended LuPuS CM9 Kernel and .58 Enhanced firmware.
Recently I bought one of these 4500 mAh battery and back cover from ebay.
The original charge it came with lasted a good while so I really believe this is not a fake battery.
But I can't get the phone to recognize the new battery capacity and charge it. The phone seems to only charge it up to the original 1500 mAh.
I've added the following line to build.prop (the line wasn't present) through the BuildProp Editor app:
ro.semc.batt.capacity=4500
But even after clearing the cache, davik cache and resetting the battery stats, I see no changes.
Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it.
sorry i cant help, but a 4500mah battery sound nice, when i had the xplay i had a 2450 mah and worked fine, the only problem is it decayed its capacity very very quickly

Thanks anyway.
Since my original post I've done more reading, searching and testing.
Turns out there is nothing functionally wrong with the phone, other than it still thinking the battery is 1500 mah for battery duration calculations.
The charge percentage is correct, and the phone is charging the battery until it reaches a voltage of 4.2, which means it's full.
It's the battery itself that is only taking in about 2800 mah. The seller said he would send me another one.

ok keep us updated
hellou guys. wanted to ask a question about battery, cause somewhere on internet i saw that battery capacity info is saved in kernel.
ive replaced stock battery 3430mah with a battery for 6200mah in google pixel 3xl. But in any battery info program and in AIDA64 it shows the same 3430 just like before replacement.
so the question is, do anyone knows how to change phone info about battery capacity?
Probably the capacity of that battery is wrong.maybe is the same or lower.and as far as I know the kernel has to be updated to the correct capacity if it's not a fake one that you buy.

ive monitored im getting charge counter more than 3430 sometimes, so i can get higher than 3430. but it cant cause of limitations of charging(it hits 100% and charging just stops)
so i dont think its fake
Battery charge is estimated through output voltage, some newer phones might have smart baterries but they are also measuring current and charging power to estimate life time. What apps and phone tells you is actually capacity propotional to voltage level. Putting a double capacity battery seems fake because of physical restrictions, again charge capacity reporting is based on kernel and you had to modifiy everytime you apply an update.
So why bother, as long as you have 8-10 sot with normal daily usage ? But are you really getting that sot's ?
