[Q] Battery life - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hey
I've had my Mini for two months now and I've calibrated the battery at least 15 times and somehow I still get battery jumps (sometimes as high as 25% jumps)
Does anybody else have a problem with battery calibration??
Also, is it safe to leave the phone charging overnight or is there no charger protection in this phone??
Thanx

Thanx for your response, I'm noticing now that my battery's reporting wrong, I've tried 4 different battery tools and all of them report 4mV when they should report 4250mV (or something like that)
Is anybody else seeing this behavior??

Could you clarify this for me???.....'Cause I don't know what you're talking about

In my opinion too much calibration is not needed with liking battery

My problem is not due to excessive battery calibration, it's due to battery reporting errors, I keep seeing percentage jumps and the voltage is also wrongly displayed

Upgrade ROM maybe can solved that problem :lol:
And after installing new ROM calibrate again once!

I've had the same problem with 4 different ROMs (FroYo stock, GB stock, Andro-ID and CM7).
I'm starting to think that it's a physical battery problem

need some help

i wanted to ask that i was using apocalypse rom and it is great and smooth and all
and i liked it
but then came PARANOIDANDROID and i loved it as i wanted more on my cell screen and that rom gave me that but it had battery drain and 3 pin problem so i couldnot keep it even tho i liked it
but now when i am back to apocalypse rom i still have battery drain
so i flashed it again twice (with all wipes)
and still having that problem and i thought it is a kernal problem
but i guess that rom come with firekernel oc so i should get that problem
so if any1 know the problem please
Charge your battery to 100% and then calibrate your battery .
Plug it on the AC charger for at least 5hours, then go to Recover > Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Then reboot again, use normally the phone and do NOT charge it until it dies with 0% battery, do not power it on, then let it charge with AC charger for another 5 hours, then you can power it on... On my Ace it was worked, then the battery drawn is much more linear
Might be calibration problems as the above guys said.Try these methods and post again

Calibration doesn't increase battery,but it makes battery readings accurate which might also be the problem of the OP

Galaxy S i9000 some unique battery problems

Hi guys i have a galaxy s phone and it's working really great, but now a days it shows me some weird battery problems...
ProblemNo:1.Some times my battery shows like 45% or like that and it goes up to 46 or 47% after a few minutes during discharge
2.Some times when i have about 55% then if i remove my battery and put it back and when i reboot it shows only 5%, this problem is very rare but it's occurred more than 2 times
3. when i am charging my phone it's reach up to 99% then it drop down to 98% then 99,100
These are my problems,i am using MIUI 2.4.20 ROM
what causing these problems is it my battery faulty or do i have a hardware problem
or is it the ROM
please any one help me.....
Have you tried wiping the battery stats in cwm?
Or, trying a battery calibration app from the play store? For example, Battery Calibration.
Problem number 1 occurred to me a few times it isn't a serious issue.
Problem 3 you need to wipe battery stats and calibrate your battery (play store has apps for that)
Sent from my GT-I9000
My guess is that using multiple batteries is playing havoc with your battery stats, but what the solution is I have no idea to be honest

i don't think that battery stats file has anything to do with this problem, it's something else...
my worst fear is that is it my phone's any hardware part is faulty.....!!
Or guys is this problem occur if my battery is faulty....?
help me to sort out the problem............
I have this issue also.. I checked and my battery is on good health, really annoying but nothing I can't live with

I fond that if its at say 50% and I reboot and it drops to say 5% it takes ages to discharge that 5% so I guess it has the same charge just reading it wrong, if I leave it for a while without using it it will go back up

Battery dying

Hello, i have some problem with my ace. My battery is dying, after recharge i unplug it and it immediately go down from 100% to 98% and after 5 hours i have 15%. I dont know what happend, my battery lasts for 3 days and now all of the sudden it wont last longer than 5-6 hours.
This is what i have in my phone:
1st of all wrong section...ask questions in Q&A section.
callibrate the battery...search the forums for that !
also turn off wifi, gps, data etc when not in use...
use the right governors and frequency...
use slaidboost or adrenaline or V6 scripts for better performance, OOM groupings, battery etc....
U CAN GET EVERYTHING BY SEARCHING ! DONT POST USELESS THREADS [lol i m not shouting, just givin strict instructions]
Sorry about section, my bad. I already turned everything off, and with that cpu frequency it lastd for 2-3 days month ago.
How long did you charged?

no problem... at least from now search before posting ! coz xda is google for android stuff...
use default 880mhz or underclock always...and governer smartassV2 or ondemand
and while playing games, browsing pump up the frequency...
also use cpu spy to see which applications are using max battery. if that app is useless then delete it...
also change the rom if the same thing happens after doing above stuff..
---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------
and dont disconnect charger untill the "lightning" symbol on the battery is gone....then its fully 100% charged.
I charged all night with the same effect. I just wiped all data and cache, now im charging.
//edit
My battery is now dead, and im unable to recharge it.

Seems to me like a defect battery. There was another guy with this problem, he noticed that his battery was deformed (of the heating its been through).. Check your battery if it is deformed as well to confirm, it may be a broken battery even if it's not deformed.
It would be a waste to buy a new phone if the problem lies within the battery, borrow a friend's or someone elses battery to double check,

It doesnt seem to be deformed to me, btw i had this idea about borrowing battery too. My friend have ace too, so i will try this and hope its battery.
//edit
After few days the phone doest want to star, i changed battery and the result was same. And my battery worked in friend's ace. What do you think it might be?

[Q] battery gauge problem

hello
after flashing a few roms, my battery gauge is messed up.
the things i noticed, when my ace turns off deu to low power. the gauge shows 0%.
but when my ace shuts it self down and i plug in the wall charger. the battery gauge shows me a percentage around 75%.
the things i have done to solve this problem is deleting battery stats by cwm and a calibration app nothing did solve the problem.
also i have let the battery drain to zero and then charge it up to 100 and let it drain to zero again. also that didnt solve my problem.
so i flashed back the stock rom by odin. also not solving the problem.
is ther another way to solve the problem
Get a new battery.:thumbup:

The problem is not with your battery. It's with the battery notifier in the ace. It works well for a time and then goes absolutely crazy. Whenever your battery gets low, about 10% for example, connect the charger and charge blindly for 3 hours. Don't worry about the 100% notification. Try your battery now. It should be fine now. But if you're using battery extender kernel, there's a bug in it that brings down the battery for 50% in a short time after using.

i`am on stock gingerbread, the phone is about two years old. i also noticed that when i turn of my phone and pull the battery out for about three minutes en then put it back in the percentage is higher. so i do think that the battery gauge is messed p but when i use a calibration app to solve it, it gets worse or doesnt change. when i use code *#*#4636#*#* the status of my battery is good. im thinking to buy a new battery but i doubt that it would solve my problem.
Calibration is all fake. Do as I said and you'll definitely witness the results.

Hi, I have the same problem with the ace of my wife. When I charge it, it says 100% after 10 min charging !
And when I use it not charging, it drops down ...
I try to let it charge longer, but is that sure that the battery continue charging even if the notifier indicates 100% ?
I'm on [ROM] CM7.2-DEMOCRACY FINAL EDITION .. is there also a kernel to change to help ?
Thanks for your answers, by default I will let it charge for 3h.
PS : is there an app to check the battery life ?

in dialer u must enter the code *#*#4636#*#* there will appear 4 tabs there is one for battery tap it and you wil see the health of youre battery.
Guys, forget about battery level notification, etc. Any app doing so would collect the info from the android itself. Just do as I said. Everything will be fine.

I've the same issue. I charged it for 3 hours, it's not fine, it goes to 50% in about 15 minutes, and when I reboot my Ace, it drop to 15% !
I noticed that when I turn it off and charge it, the green battery indicator is at 80%...
Any idea ?
I tried differents ROM such as CM10.1 CM10 CM9,PAC, same issue.
I bought my wife a new battery @2000mA and she lasts 2 days now, so the answer seems to be the battery-life ...

CM 9, 10.1,PAC consume battery like hell, but not that much also.
If there r such huge drops that too after charging the fone for 3 hrs then i guess there is a problem with the battery.

I too have the crazy battery problem, but funny thing is if i were to ignore the indicator and just use it from a 3hr-full charge till it dies off, i could achieve 2.5hours of internet surfing (wifi not 3g). To me this is good enough, all calibration fixes do not work for me. Any suggestions?
PS: I have the system time problem too with S'perience Rom, Eg. when i shut down the phone at 1pm to remove the simcard, after booting up the phone the time shows 11am. This happened to me more than 5 times this week. I dono if it's the rom or the battery that gives this problem. I dono about how it was when running stock rom because this phone does not belong to me. Any help is much appreciated.

Try a full discharge and then plug your phone until it is fully charged, finally without unplug it boot into CWM and wipe battery stats, finally reboot and charge it until 100%

No. Just wait some time, I think that battery needs to calibrate itself with charging. I tried CM11, in first it was awfull, after 2-3 charges it is becoming usable. But still CM10.2 and CM11 based ROMs are battery eaters. Try CM10.1.
Thanks very much for y quick answers ...i hope that it can to remedy the battery okey but i try too cm 10.1 ...thanks again :good:
Next time when you flash rom or even update to official firmware make sure your battery is always 100%, not 80, not 90 but 100%... I had problem with discalibrated battery cause i update from Ginger Bread to official Samsung Jelly Bean firmware and my battery gone crazy... Try charge-discharge couple of times as shut-down says... This problem could be a swollen battery too cause you say that your phone turns off when you are at 25-28%... To be sure that your battery isn't swollen, turn your phone off and make this steps:
step 1: Take the battery out of the phone.
step 2: Put it on a level (flat) surface.
step 3: Try spining the battery, if it spins freely than it's swollen, if it doesn't spin it's good and try this on the bouth sides of the battery.

Battery caliberation problem. caliberate using battery caliberation app or delete batterystats file
Discharge to 0%, full charge to 100%. And leave it some time (don't plug off your charger), maybe hour and more.
Type this in Terminal editor: cat /sys/kernel/abb-chargalg/eoc_status
And wait untill it says the real EOC reached.
{sent from my mind}
if I help you, simpe just hit the thanks button.
i was having the same issue with Carbon 4.4.2 build 3, i did this:
*Uncharged the phone until 12-15%
*Rebooted phone 7% battery (every time i rebooted i losted 5% no matter what)
*Charged phone good 4 hours and then ran Battery Calibration APK (battery Calibration was showing 4120mha)
*Rebooted left phone alone 15 minutes ran Battery Calibration APK again (battery now was showing 4245mha)
*Ran greenify, hibernated almost all apps except whatsapp (bug with that was launching Player pro instead)
*Disconnected phone went to settings/performance changed:
Cpu Governor to :Abyssplug
Minimum CPU freq: 200mhz, Max: 800, set on boot.
I/O Scheduler: Deadline,set on boot.
Memory Managment: Zram to 10%, Allow purging of assets and KSM, also 16bit transparency.
i had 100% battery from 1am to 5am (whatsapp, fast for facebook,player pro, traffic racer, heavy wifi, screen never went off) at 4:35-40 i had 57% battery, to 5am i was having 55%, slept til 11am from that on i haven't used my cellphone too much but i have 35% current battery...for me its okay since i alway have a backup battery.
Pdt: i owe you the picture im in my office and don't have an usb cable with me.
