So I have been playing with Advanced Charging Controller for 1 week now and I am trying to find a good setup for it specifically for this phone. I have seen dev's recommendations on github (limit to 3920mV up to 60% and 4100mV up to 75%) but I wanted to know your opinions on this. Maybe add cooldowns too (stop charging for 1 minute to lower the temperature).
Personally I use ACCA (from Magisk "store") since ± 1year (on OnePlus 6 previously) in order to keep my battery in the healthiest shape.
My regular settings is to stop charging when reaching 80% and restart at 75%; but also to avoid to go lower than 20% and to use the fast charger provided in the box only exceptionally.

Why would you restart at 75%? You wouldn't really be advised to go over 75% let alone letting it restart charging at 75% (when you plug it overnight for example).

In fact, I recharge quasi exclusively during the night, and with 75%, I'm sure that, in the worst case, I start my day with 75% which is in general largely enough for my usage.
I hope it clarifies.
This being said, temperature is also very destructive for batteries, it's why I tuned ACCA to keep it below 45°C.

I get what you mean. It sounds interesting but for my case I won't really sweat it for that extra 5% (recharging from 70 to 75%) because I don't really use it at work and it has like 0.5%/hour discharging rate overnight.

Make sure you know what each parameter means and does.
You need to have a bit knowledge of physics.
The settings posted previously will significantly slow down the charging speed. It will stop charging at 55%. Phone will shutdown at 35%.
After configuration set, reboot to see the effect.

Well yeah that's why I said most. Hopefully I can make the calculation so that I can let it go up to 75% since I don't want it just charging to 55%. Maybe trial and error will work for that I guess. If you have any insights on that feel free to help I guess. My ideal charge would be 25-75%.
Right now I have set a 750mah charging limit with 4100mV limit so that it finally reaches around 75% but I haven't really implemented any cooldowns at all. But, I am pretty sure the 4.1V cap makes the cooldown redundant. What do you think?

The charging indication will not change rapidly while cooldown.
You need some apps to observe the current change,
ampere app for example.
Personally did not set voltage limit, so those are blank.

Hi guys,
Just wondering if you have noticed that charging a device whilst off seems no faster than when the device is on. Do you experience that too?
I am using the Port Power charging cable with the Boise 7port charger and it still takes approx 2.5hrs for a full charge.
Keen to hear how long your charging takes whilst on and off.
Thanks

HTC is known for slower charging rate because battery is sealed behind motherboard, it's not possible to replace as you would need a whole new motherboard if you accidentally break it.
Stop worrying about how long it takes to charge, take a look at the Anandtech website review for HTC One M8, look at the graph chart comparing charging rate with other phone, it's very similar but just slightly slower than others.
Charging your phone faster than intended will harm your battery life, just be happy and get used to it.

That is going to vary from one user to another, due to varying degrees of idle battery usage; which in turn depends on your specific reception quality (poor network reception results in battery drain), features turned on (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) and background syncing of apps, email, etc.
In reality, the phone will always take longer to change while on versus turned off, since its always going to consume some degree of power even while idle. But if your idle battery usage is rather low, the effects of that may be relatively minor.
For example, my idle battery usage is around 2% per hours. If it takes around 2 hours to "fully" charge (I almost never drain to empty of even, but charge frequently) then the idle battery usage during that time is 4%. Just rounding numbers off to simplify the math, if it takes 2 hours to charge 100%; then that means charge rate is 120min/100% = 1.2 min per percent. Which means the "additional" charge time needed to offset the idle battery usage is 1.2min/percent * 4% = 4.8 min. Therefore, for this example, the "extra" charge time for on (idle) versus off is less than 5 minutes. Again, the math is simplified, but that's pretty close.
Now, if your idle battery usage is higher (and I know folks are always commenting about high battery drain during the day) than that means your charge times are going to be impacted much more, resulting in longer charge times on versus off.

Never said that it would affect the charge rate. It's just that HTC changed the charging rate to be slightly slower than other devuces because battery is not user friendly replacement and it will help to keep the battery performance to remain consistent throughout the years. You can however use quickcharge to charge faster but I'm talking about the origianl OEM charger is optimised to keep the battery performance for years
All I'm saying is the charging rate is very similar with other devices, just don't bother trying to achieve fastest charging rate, you may do more harm to your battery than having quick burst of energy to 100%.

Thanks guys, for your replies.
My question arose from reading various articles on fast charge 2.0 and poor battery life since upgrading to Lollipop.
Some articles suggest a better gauge cable will maximise charge rate, which led me to leaning that a sync cable has its own limitations to, that can be overcome by earthing the centre pins to disable the sync component and allow for higher charge rate.
I picked up the Bolse 7 port Charger with Smart IC which is supposed to detect the maximum charge rate and stop charging when 100%
Recently I picked up the PortaPowa charging cable which has a larger gauge cable.
That being said, if the device is off, then the Bolse charger may not be able to detect which device it is. If the device is on, then maybe it could detect the device type and as such charge accordingly.

Not sure, but I believe the charge rate is determined by the battery (smart circuitry on the battery itself), not the device; and therefore may not matter if he device is on or off.
If you think about it, there must be some charging management going on while the device is off. Otherwise, charging while off would not work properly at all.

All Li ion chargers stop charging at 100%, otherwise the battery would overheat and catch fire or explode.
Hi,
Is it normal for HTC phones to block the camera flash when the Battery is low?
I've been out last night and had about 14% battery, when I wanted to take a picture I got this message.
Even deactivating battery safe mode didn't allow for flash

Yes, in the past under 15% no flash. It was tweaked to 5% before. I forget if its the app, framework, or kernel. I am sure it will get tweaked when devs get the phone and start hacking away.

Business as usual. Most phones do this. Be glad they do this.
At 15% or below, the voltage of the battery is really low and if you use flashlight, which uses a lot of power = voltage goes down rapidly. And your phone "dies" quickly.
I'm totally fine with my phone dying right after I take this picture! I just want to take this goddamn picture with a flash.

Well good luck charging your phone with non-removable battery if the voltage dips too low.
There's a reason for these limitations and you don't wanna discharge lithium ion batteries past a certain point.
And that's not something which is hard to do with lithium's, if the voltage actually goes too low, the charging circuitry won't necessarily "recognize" the battery at all and refuse to charge.
Maybe there's some amount of trickle charge present so if you keep the phone connected it might be able to revive the battery (bump the voltage high enough for the charge circuit to work)
Though the chances of this are relatively low because most charging circuits are waaaay smarter these days and if there's some amount of trickle charge present, the current is so low it might not have any effect on the voltage of the battery..
But if you end up in that kind of situation, there's already permanent damage done to the cell (battery) and it will affect the battery life negatively.
And I wouldn't necessarily even want to attempt to revive a lithium ion battery which is wrapped around aluminium....

While you're technically correct it doesn't matter at all.
Phones are idiot proof. If the battery reaches a critical low the phone will shut down.
I doubt that a flash would use so much energy that a battery at 15% would instantly die from it.
AFAIK voltage is pretty persistent until it reaches 5%
It's 3.7V right now at 18%, I'll take a look at 5% and below.
Edit: here it is.
Drops below 3.6V after 3%
I think 5% is a good threshold for blocking flash....15% was probably based on state of affairs 5 years ago. Its another case of software not getting tuned to the times.

So you say now....until your phone dies because of constant snapping, and it doesn't have time to actually process the photos. While it may not take it very long to process the photos, a sudden death might result in a loss of quality.

Battery usage patter here in Moto G 40 Fusion is very confusing. As U can see it clearly that the Device got charged fully (100%) 5 days ago & it's giving a usage pattern of total 5 days as a whole. Is it normal?? I mean I have had my experience with Moto E, Moto Z2 play but didn't face such wired issue.
So my queries are as follows;
How can I get refreshed usage pattern after every recharge cycle?
Is it still calibrating? Do I need to wait for 1-2 more weeks to have a meaningful usage pattern?
How do I know of those Apps & Settings, using battery after every recharge cycle?
Is it some kind of bug or Android 11/ Moto G limitations?
If everything's normal then why do we need such meaningless & useless battery usage status?
Need help.

Are U telling me to charge my phone to 100% ??
I don't charge phone to 100% only to preserve battery life. 80-85% charging is enough to give me a full day battery back up but here comes the main issue. Charging to 85% won't trigger a refreshed app list (battery usage list). Refreshed battery usage mean a fresh list of apps consuming battery after every recharge. I hope now u'll get my point.
Otherwise u won't be able to find which apps n settings are taking the battery juice within a charging cycle, no matter if u charge it to 40%, 80% or more, U must know ur usage pattern.

Today was no different and I was still at 100 after doing so. I then went to work and used Android auto so it stayed full until about 830 am when I took it off the charger. It's 745 pm and I'm at 80% with just a bit over 4 hrs sot. Didn't tweak any settings whatsoever to try and save battery.

Often but not always poor battery is dependant on what apps you have that are running in the BG or sending push notifications, etc. Some games like to do that and just destroy battery life. Facebook likes to kill battery that's for sure. That's really the only social media site I use regularly. I likely won't have many games on this. I'll jus my fold for games

Subjectively, battery life seems to be pretty cool. Nothing seems to drain particularly quickly and I've only had to charge a couple of times since Tuesday. Features such as lift to wake are all on. The only one that isn't is always on display as I never find that very useful when lift to wake is active.
Battery is absolutely fine for me. I've always charged my phone's at night anyway so as long as it lasts all day with my usage its good. It would last about a day and half if i wasn't charging each night. Screen on time has been between 5-7 hours with battery left of at least 40% each evening. I've turned off AOD this morning to see if that makes much difference in the next couple days as well.
Finally a positive thread hopefully with real experiences and no trolls.

It's 745 pm and I'm at 80% with just a bit over 4 hrs sot. Didn't tweak any settings whatsoever to try and save battery.

Wow how can it differ so much from other people's experiences.. Something is definitely wrong or off. Maybe 5g?
I don't own this device but would be interesting to test out battery life after trimming most of the Google spyware/scam processes, GAPPs completely replaced and extreme overall de-bloating/trimmed setup for max batt. I'm guessing the results may be quite impressive...

Definitely. I feel Google now, aod, constant listening for background music and being alert for "Hey Google" increases consumption big time
Mine is getting better and better every day. Like everyone should know, it takes a few cycles. I already accepted the fact that it will not be as good as my P5.

Had no 5g that day it lasted till I got home so I can live with it just or get a iPhone haha
I have a question regarding charging.
My p6p is 80% and connected to the original charger. It showed "adaptive charging (I think) stating that the device will be fully charged by 7:15 am (interesting, it's my alarm then). I unplugged it and plugged it in again, now it shows fully charged in 58 minutes. I'm confused. Can anyone explain it please? Am I doing something wrong, like not plugging properly? I do not want to leave my phone to charge overnight because I'm simply too lazy and the socket is way too far from my bad. I would rather have it charged fully before I would go to bed. And does the alarm time matters here or it's just a coincidence?
Alarm matters, as does the adaptive charging setting in the battery settings page
Turn off Adaptive Charging (Settings > Battery > Adaptive preferences).
Adaptive charging reduces battery wear by charging your battery slower & reaching 100% charge just before your alarm goes off, but if your turn this off (or disable your alarm), it will charge normally.
FYI

The adaptive charging is bogus, by the way. I tried it out many times, and if I for example go to bed at 22:00 and set the timer to wake up at 0700, the phone will already be at 100% if I look at it at 0300. And yes, adaptive charging is present. Never worked properly & as advertised for me. Only good on paper.

It's very adaptive. It knew you were going to be looking at the phone at 0300!
Glad I saw this thread, I couldn’t understand why my phone was taking forever to charge literally 8hrs. Had this darn adaptive charging on.

Adaptive charging is designed to only run at night, and it looks at your timers that you have set to wake up (at least in theory).
For you it also ran when using it "during the day"?
That sounds like more of a bug than a feature.

Yes it was during daytime.
looks like a return in that case.
Also WhatsApp still restoring backups since yesterday.

There is another thread with a couple of others having Whatsapp restoring issue, they might have sorted it.
I would toggle the adaptive settings and see if you still get the same behaviour

Do you have - by chance - the new Whatsapp Beta enabled that gives you access to your stuff on 4 devices without needing your phone?
I also think the estimated time to 100% is wrong. I will test it by setting a timer tonight. But it will 1hr to 100 but it didn't feel like a hr
Nope. Totally wrong. Said 1hr 25min to full, but actually took 59 min..

Didn’t realise you could have acces on 4 devices how is that done?
I think there’s serious issue with my phone battery charging it doesn’t charge been on charge all night and still not fullly charged!

You charge via cable or wireless charging pad?
Sometimes you need to move the phone a bit on a charging pad until it starts charging (aligning it to speak). Maybe you made a mistake there (if you use that)?
Regarding the 4 devices - Whatsapp offers you that if you want to add a PC via QR Code (if you are enrolled in the Beta).

At this point I'd say either try factory reset or ask Google to send you a replacement device, if you have deactivated adaptive charging, it should charge with no problems at night. Of course it could be the cable/charger at fault, but considering that you have used it on other devices (I guess?) that shouldn't be the/only problem (is that a Huawei Charger that supports PD? (Power delivery). And does the cable support PD?
