Hi guys,
My xperia x10 only charges up to 98% anyone know why its like that?
Thanks in Advance
Double check that you are removing it right as it finishes charging. There are a few posts already detailing what that the x10 will stop charging once it reaches 100%, and will not resume until the battery drains below 90%.

What makes you say that??
Reason I ask is because once the phone is fully charged it will stop charging and start to drain down to c.90% when it will kick in again..
Alternatively.. if you have a genuine problem, it could be that your battery needs re-calibrating... drain it completely till the phone switches off.. then fully charge it with no use.. redrain it, then recharge it again..
i know its not going to 100% because I was watching it and using juice plotter. Also I think this might be the calibration problem. Another weird thing, is that I have to "force" it to go up to 98 but it usually just stays at the highest as 94 or 95. Also how many times do I have to discharge it.
2 or three should do it.. see how it goes.. are you using the SE charger by the way?? it 's a bit sensitive to non OEM chargers..
ya im using the SE charger
Honestly with the new batteries, you should not fully discharge them. Li-ion batteries lose their capacity if you discharge them. I have learnt this lesson the hard way with 2 laptop batteries. I always keep my x10 above 10% and it is still at 100% health.
Sometimes, when you are monitoring the battery with 3rd party applications,
the indications are a bit off.
For example, I am using Battery Status widget and I've set it to update every five minutes, so that it won't drain the battery instead of just indicating it.
So, when the phone is charging, sometimes the light goes off (meaning 100% charged) but the widget shows 97% or 98%. And 5 minutes later it shows fully charged.
So, it could be a fault to the software you're using and not the phone or the battery's at all.
When the green LED goes off, go to Settings>About>Status and check what the percentage under battery level is. If it is 100%, you're just fine.
macdaddy... These aren't li-ion
. They're li-polymer.. They don't need conditioning. But they do sometimes need re-calibrating.

Hello does this method works for x10 to make battery last longer?
Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.
I don't think that exact method will work.
It could just be me, but whenever I plug my phone into the charger when it is switched off, it switches on the phone, which doesn't really help when you're trying to charge with the power switched off.
Mine won't charge switched off either, always turns on.
I just run my battery flat a couple of times, seems to help alot.

Modern batteries are not supposed to run flat, from what i've been reading. They stay fresh if charged a little and often. I'm not saying anyones wrong, just what i've heard and read.

They don't go flat as you'd expect. Lithium has an operating bandwidth. Say 3.5 to 2.9 thats your battery indication from full charge to low battery. Technically the battery is never fully discharged. As someone posted above, a little and often with these new batteries wins the race.

I discovered the solution for X10 calibrate. My bat was showing 100% so i pulled ut the charger, turned the device of, took out the battery, put the charger in and finally putting the battery back. When phone was restarted my battery started charging from 88%. hope it works the same for all!
Edit: after led turning off and bat showing 100% i did the whole procedure again, and again it starts charging from 88%!

I did it three times in a row now with the same result everytime!

After nearly 1h since stop charging i'm still on 100% after a few texts, checking xda on tapatalk ofc and surfing a few webpages, i was down at 99% but magically it restored itself when leaving it be.

Gonna try this myself. I'll report back soon.
Edit-
Mine starts to load at 88% too.
Edit2-
When loading, my Battery Indicator states "overvoltage" and shows 4,21 volts. On my second X10 it's only 3,77 and it doesn't say overvoltage. But when I take it off from the charger the voltage drops to 4 volts and stays at 3,77 on my other X10. Bizarre.
Edit3-
Battery life seems to have improved a lot. With the screen at 100% brightness and the sound on on Gameboid I only lost 1% per 10mins or so. Quite an improvement from losing 3% per 5min.

thanks for the tip! my guess is that the x10 isnt fully charging the battery?
which is kinda werid because i am using my old X1 batt so it shouldn't be draining
this fast.

Nice to see there are actually improvements, i had to rush to my buss while still doing the third cycle so i dissconnected at 96% and it then kept ticking up to 100% on it's own. It sounds worrying though that you get an over voltage allert, maby we should not do this to much if it might damage the battery. But a few cycles just to max it out can't harm?! I belive the 88% -> 100% went faster though for each cycle so this might be a sign that the battery is pushing to the limit little by little. I'm gonna go for a few more cycles to see the results of it.

Yeah, well I had only done two cycles when I noticed the over voltage and stopped there. It seems fine at the moment, temps are normal etc.
I just did one "calibration" again and i actually played around so much with my phone today so when i got home it was on 10%, charged it to 100% and when doin the procedure it reset the battery gauge to 96% rather then the 88% i got earlier.. i wonder if it has any connection to my unplugging the phone at 96% this morning.... hmm, i just don't get this. hehe
Edit: second cycle now and i'm back to charging from 88%.
Thanks for all your constructive ideas. Im also worrying about the battery damage because this is not an official measure. I'll try a few cycles however.
Can you please advise if the coming 2.1 will bring X10 extended battery life?
tried the cycle, first cycle went down to 92%, didnt take long for 100%, second and third she rebooted at 100, sitting at 4.201volts stating overcharge. will update tomorro with a full days use.
I honestly can not tell if my battery has improved from this, but i'm a very inconsistent user

i also cannot see a difference yet although i used my x10 an obscene amount today...

I haven't tried this calibration by taking out the battery when full and putting it back in thing yet, but I have gotten over voltage condition when recharging anyway. It occurs in the 90% and higher region.
Usually, my voltage reaches 4.21V at 100%.
I have very good battery life for a smartphone; I think mostly due to the R2BA020 update for Canada/Rogers. Also, I turn off APN connection most of the time. I did a couple full discharges early when I got the phone and don't know if that had an impact.

So this should meen that the battery is always charging at an overvoltage wich would also meen doing this cycle should not harm the battery more then normal.

Used this did it three times and after the third time on reboot battery on 100% see how long my battery lasts now
Edit-Worked great but then had troubles with ROM so had to reflash. Now when I try this phone just goes into flash mode when USB is plugged in even before the battery. Help?
I charged my phone to 100%- then as soon as I unplug my phone, the percentage drops to 95%. Is this a battery reconditioning problem? I have 2 batteries- both brand new. The phone is only one week old.
I get the same thing. I think its software related. Mine drops to 97% n then I plug it in n charge more to 100...then I unplug and charge some more. Eventually it'll stay at 100% when I unplug it. This happens even after I've reconditioned the battery.

same thing happens to me =[ I tried reconditioning the battery but its still the same. I'm going to try reconditioning again and see if it helps.
Yes

mines too!! it drops to 97%. but today i let myphone died then i plugged it in and left it all night after unplugging it it stayed at 100%.
I've experienced the same situation, but only if I unplug it immediately after it says 100%. Now, I let it charge about 30min after it says 100% and when I unplug it, it stays. Not sure if its battery condition or the software. I don't pay all that much attention to it.
When I unplug my phone it goes to 97%. I find that it I plug it back in after 10 mins and let it charge for half an hour, my phone will last almost till 11pm. If I don't do it then I struggle to make it to 6pm. Not sure what is going on here.

Never happens to me. Maybe because I'm using juice defender.

Have you guys ever cleared your battery history?
Pretty much all of the weird reading anomalies are merely software/calibration of what percentage the battery is actually at. The actual voltage is pretty much never affected.
Note: Having two batteries can also make weird stuff like this happen as the device calibrates for one battery and then you change it. Just use the gauge as a rough estimate, treat it like the gas gauge in your car.
Remember lithium batteries do not have a linear mAH remaining to Voltage correlation so the calibration is very important and if off even slightly can cause weird things with the "percentages", this is true on all phones, not just the Vibrant.
This is also happening to me, i just let it charge for 30 more minutes then it will stay for %100 but after awhile it will have a huge drop. my phone's battery is getting worse and i'm using wifi everyday.
Once your phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and plug it back in. it will take a little while to tell you that it is fully charged. unplug it and then plug it in again. do this 3 or 4 times. Then when you unplug, your battery will say 100%. I reconditioned my battery after unplugging and replugging 6 or 7 times and now i always have 100% battery after just 1 unplug in the morning.
Hello,
I have a moto Defy with Wiui GB stable on it. I recently got Mugan 1700mha battery.
The problem I face is that there are big drops in battery levels. The drops happen a lot of time and is pissing me off. Any help I can get to fix it?
Have you tried completely draining the battery, then charging it to 100% and leave it charging after 100% for an hour more and then using a battery calibration app?

Mugan said never let the battery discharge upto 0%.
Its bit weird coz I can't figure out what's it upto.

I got hold of T Mo Note 4 and I am facing intermittent charging from Day One.
Phone charges to 90% and then holds there (Charging light glows/text appears) but no increase in battery percent from 90% even if I keep it plugged for an hour or so, its stuck at 90% now
I need to unplug and plug back the microUSB cable to make sure the charging process happens and again it gets stuck at 94% of something and again I need to repeat the same process.
Any solution? Is it a bad battery or just issues with battery stats?
