It wont decrease battery life.
The only way the battery could be hindered via charging is if you do it for extended periods of time.
For example more than 10 hours isnt good.

Thanks for clearing that. So we can charge our phone whenever we want to but be careful not to charge for too long at a stretch. Is it correct?

Yeah. I've read up on this stuff. More than 10 hours is called Overcharging. It's unhealthy for the battery and for the phone itself
The normal charge is just plugging it at any time and plug it out at any time.
And then there is healthy charge. You need to do this once a month or two.
Let the battery fall below 20-15 percent and then charge it up all the way to 100.
Also keeping it plugged in at 100% isn't recommended because we don't have smart charge (which basicly cuts of the power from the charger to the motherboard at 100% to prevent wear and tear like in some new high end devices)
Hope you find this interesting :3
Thank you. I will do some research on this myself too..
Maybe add it to the get started guide? ;3
so charge for a short time doesn't decrease the battery?
ex: charge from 30% to 50% is not wrong?

If you sleep less than 10 hours than its good. I do that when I go to school.
More than 10 is not healthy.
this becomes a problem esp if u use usb tethering
Modern firmware stops charging the phone when it's full, drains it a bit, and then will not send any juice to the battery anymore- it's pretty much impossible to overcharge unless you've corrupted or hacked out that bit of the firmware or you're overamping to begin with- or the phone and its firmware are poorly designed or executed.
This is also why your phone drops from 100 to 95% so fast when you start using it- it wasn't at 100% when it stopped charging; the firmware lies to you so you don't get mad and try to overcharge and destroy your battery or call customer service because it won't go above ~98%
Well then, I've had this phone for over a year and always charge it over the night (way over 10hours :I)

Exactly how much worse would my battery get if I keep it plugged in the whole night(6~8hours)?
I tried to use my phone where I'll have it fully charged when I go to sleep so I plug it out. But sometimes my battery is at about 30% so I just charge it overnight.
How bad is this? Should I stop doing this?
Sent from my phone
the charging system WONT overcharge your battery.
it charges to 100%
turns off lets the phone use battery power to 95%
then charges again.
there is NO PHONE, NO CHARGER that would over charge its battery, that would just be self destruction.
Sweet, always wondered about that

While it is impossible to overcharge your batter...not even sure what that means but the battery can not hold more charge then it is made to hold.
The only downside to leaving the phone on the charger overnight is that it will over time degrade the capacity of the battery. The way most modern phone batteries function they gradually loose capacity over time. This lose of capacity is accelerated the when the battery is at a greater charge level.

Like Trusselo said, you can't overcharge it. There's a smart charger built in, that charges full and drops it back to extend battery life.
If you watch the supply with an ammeter, you'll see the current slowly decrease as it gets closer to full. Then when the "Battery is Full" notification appears, the current will immediately drop to 0 indicating that the charger has completed and it's running on battery. At that point it resets the stats to 100%. After it consumes about 5% (actually something like 4100mV) it will switch back to external power and only monitor the battery.
Oh strange. Nexus one does it different. When fully charged it runs off the AC current if still plugged in and battery remains charged

No. It's not charging overnight. The phone stops charging when it's full.
Sigh...
To get a better understanding of why your phone will never overcharge the battery go to youtube and type in "overcharging li-ion" or better "overcharging lipo" for some entertaining videos.

I bought an Incredible S a while ago and have been exploring ROMs and installing them. I am now on IceColdSandwich and currently satisfied with it. The only problem is the battery life, I fully charge it, take it out of charge, roam through home screens and I have 95% battery. I tried updating the radio to .24 one (built for Ice Cream Sandwich). So I was wondering if there was something I was missing or if there was a fix for this. Any help in this regard would be highly appretiated.
Thanks.
is it 2nd hand incredible s?
when you fully charged, did you leave it connected to the charger for a while?
one thing you might want to try is to turn off the inc s when it finishes charging... and plug it to charger again.
it will start charging again in case it's actually not full...
otherwise: do a battery calibration

And that's probably what all those apps will do.
And the reason for why your battery drops from 100% really quickly is because HTC made it that way. When you charge it'll charge to 100%, then stop charging until it has dropped to x% and start charging to 100% again. Repeat that until you remove the charger.

I have not seen anyone posted about this so I'm raising one. Is there any kernel/app that has charging limit feature? What I meant about charging limit is when the battery reach a certain % i.e 60%, it will stop charging the battery and will only supply current to keep the phone going. There are quite a few laptops came with this feature like Sony and Lenovo. The purpose of this? To prolong the battery's life. You can read more about this here http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
um i dont think so
idk abt any such kernels but definitely no such apps. But sammy says a full charge cycle from around 5 to 100% would help a lot.

I know its not really a solution, but I do have an idea for you.
Get a digital outlet timer... figure out how long it takes to charge your note...(i.e., lets say 4 hours full charge)
set a pre-programed time cycle. when you plug the phone in, run the time cycle, and it will shut off when done...
Just an idea... maybe not a good one, but it just popped into my head

I've been wondering this for a while but can't find much on the web. I was wondering if charging my battery when it's not completely dead will ruin battery efficiency? If for instance my phone is 30% and I'm going to need it for the night is it fine to charge it without the worry of damaging the battery.

Au contraire, mon frere. Keep your phone as charged as possible. IF YOU LET YOUR PHONE DIE, IT WILL LOSE CAPACITY. That's all there is to it. Charge it as much as possible, except if the battery is hot. If so, reboot, and let it cool for 5 mins, then charge it.
The first 2 days after I got my phone my battery was dying pretty fast but now that I've had it for a week it's lasting much much longer now.

Not entirely true. Try to avoid the high end of the charge scale if you can, because then you're banking entirely on the assumption that the onboard controller will correctly charge-cycle the battery from the 95%-100% states. I just don't trust the onbaord that much.

No. That used to be a problem with older batteries (where it was known as the memory effect), but current-generation Lithium-ion batteries only suffer from this to an essentially unnoticeable extent. If you drop the battery below 10% or so too often (a deep discharge), you can prematurely erode your capacity. It's a good idea to do this once a month or so to keep things running smoothly, but other than that there's no problem with charging/discharging whenever (outside of force of habit and pride-- you can't boast about long battery life if you're charging often, after all).

I STILL don't get it. How one earth does anybody get decent battery life on this phone, let alone those RIDICULOUS 5 hour screen times? I'm assuming there's no way without rooting, though. I can barely get 2 hours of screen time. And my power saver is always enabled!
Appx 35% of my battery is consumed by kernel. About 20% by the OS.

I can just speak for myself. I root my phones before I use them so I have no idea how much better it is.
These guys who make the roms do some amazing stuff and take out a lot of crap to make our phones run better and faster. In that process, the battery life really improves.
I have been want to replace my Note 8 for a while, but decided not to because it would work well every other charge cycle. On days when it's working well, it's decharging at around .8% per hour on idle. But every other time I fully charge it, it'll do this weird thing where it drains at 3%+ per hour on idle. I don't know what to do or what the problem is. There isn't a difference in app usage. Does the fact that I completely discharged the battery on the first day have an affect on how it is now?
I use mine heavily at work, music, messaging, browsing, calls and I get around 12-14hrs out of a charge.

Yes, I've done this like three times. It will work well sometimes until I charge it. Then it will randomly have completely terrible idle time. I think the battery drain outside of idle is actually not bad either, but something makes it drain a lot for some reason. I've noticed it usually happens after I charge my phone.

I was just wondering if there was something I was missing that was causing this. It was draining really fast on idle last night, but the fast discharge stopped around the time 60-70%. I charged it this morning and it hasn't even dropped 1% in the last 1 and a half.

I did try both, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I can't seem to figure out what's making it drain so fast. Right now, it's back to normal. But even when it's draining fast on idle, it's battery life will still be good in actual use.

Try slow charging all the time and also remove SD card if you have one. Also, when slow charging , when it hits 100% power off device, then pull charger out and then back in with device still off, it might read 98% then let it charge to 100% again.

I'll try that. I usually let it charge to 100% and then wait another 30 minutes.
But why remove the SD card?
I am also facing this problem of the battery draining too fast, especially when compared to my previous phone, the S8 Plus (and similar usage on both phones).
Battery usage data does not show any rogue app gobbling up the battery. So not sure what is going on here. Perhaps I have got a faulty device...
