[Q] battery callibration

I installed Batery Callibration in my Galaxy Note .. Love this app...... Increase so much my life battery
One question: How often I Calibrate My Battery??

1. After flash or update ROM.
2. When replace or pull out & put in battery for whatever reasons.
3. I do calibration about once a week.
I always drain battery till it is 1% before plug in charger after hit the calibration button.
Battery time is acceptable to me...15+ hrs with normal use (stock ICS rooted).

Thank you very much for the tips. I Have Rocket Room V07 and Speedmod kernel 3.3. With 3g and Wifi turn on all day, my battery last 24 hs.....Very good for me

which battery calibration app?

A question for both of you and anyone else who's using such a tool: which battery calibration app do you use? Any views on how good (or not) these apps are?
Cheers

I use battery monitor widget pro, very effective and good widget also.

Never. That app does NOTHING. You have fallen victim to the placebo effect.
Wiping battery stats does NOTHING on any Android device other than change the behavior of Settings->Battery. It does nothing with regards to fuel gauge calibration.
The fuel gauge chipset in our device does not require calibration and calibration techniques cannot be applied to it. (With one exception - resetting it after a reboot on low battery can have a temporary positive effect - but you can just wait a few hours for it to converge.)

As stated above - they are 100% useless and worthless on our device and any other Samsung Galaxy S1/S2 family device.

To enthropy512, thank you very much for your hardwork for us here in xda. How about a tread that says, after a battery full, you take out the battery for 3 mins then put it back again.

Battery Calibration, try following the procedure stated therein and verify by yourself if it works.
At least you have nothing to lose but very poor battery performance.
You guys should have ever heard of an alternative battery product named MUGEN that selling original and extra sized batteries world wide including range of Galaxy batteries. They also supply a battery calibration app on Play Store regardless phone models but it's for rooted phone only. If this app does nothing they wouldn't bother wasting their time developing it.
Another thing is to investigate what apps or services prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, also try freezing apps or services you aren't using.
Those are my tricks for having battery performance improved.

Hi can i have the link for the calibration app ???

Search battery calibration on google play...its free

Your phone had to be root to use battery calibration

i dont trust any battery callibration app or battery power saving app
i only used cpu spy and betterbatterystats
my point is check ur device, does it goes to deepsleep everytime screen turned off. if it doesnt check using bbs what apps making ur device turned on/wake ur device. im very satisfied with this method. 1x full charge for 24 hr for my daily use and only 24 % battery drained for 24 hr if u didnt use ur device at all(standby)

Sent from my unknown using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Stock Android 4.2.2 without root and with Greenify and Advanced Task Killer.
WiFi, 3G, Data and Sync are enabled.

I usually get only 24 hours on my S4 mini, so basically day + night, so I have to charge every night. I have wfi turned only at home (using Llama app). At midnight I turn off wifi and sync. It turns on at 6:00 in the morning. I have accuweather widget and one IMAP email account (using IMAP PUSH) syncing.
Is it normal that having Wifi turned on consumes so much more battery? It is visible very good in the screenshot and it is the same effect every day. Screen time on the screenshot was only 1h20m. I have brightness set to Auto -3.

simply question have you restarted the device? because android os seems to consumes a lot of power. You also should install wakelock detector from playstore and look what app consumes so much power

Hey all i have a question can you all show me which your screen on time is that you will get usually with the stock battery? Thx to all in this thread who post their stats

Battery drains very quickly

Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.

Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".

This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

Load up 6.0.1 beta or waiting for the official one.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately

I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

Turns out it was 2 AM when I removed the charger, so it was about 4 hours and a half.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.

zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching

Poor Battery Management!!!

I am using this phone from Last 1 week and one thing I've noticed that battery management is very poor. it keeps decreasing without no usage even when the phone sitting on the table. the phone has 4000Mah of battery but there is battery usage tab in the settings like stock android to track down what is consuming more battery. The battery is not even lasting a full day.
I think its better if someone makes or port a Stock Android-based ROM for Samsung A51 or get the solution for Poor battery management.

I think you can check battery management in Setting > Device Care > Battery.
I agree with you that the battery is poor. I cant use the phone in 1 day without charging.

Thanks for the update, let me track down the background apps for 24 hours, let see if I can help to minimize the battery drainage. BCS its the first time when I am using a Samsung phone. I usually like to use phones with stock android & never faced this issue before regarding the battery

Hello !
You said that u can use u're phone 3 days and that's because of the firmware.. Can you give me more information about that please ?
I got recently this phone but the 4000mah is drained too fast, I optimize a lot of thing and got the minimal app in background or fonction like sync. The proof is that One UI is the app that drain the most of my battery.
Finally i think that is because of the screen..
But do you have an solution with a firmware or root for the autonomy of this phone ?
Sorry for my english and thanks for you're answer !

5000mAh battery lasting only for 3 hour's. Definitely your battery damaged.
Still more information is needed for assessment.
Provide the below mentioned information
year's you been using this device ?
Do you use any kind of rogue app like facebook ?
provide a screenshot of battery usage.
Are you rooted or have knowledge of using adb ?
Thank you. Have a great time !

Unfortunately the screenshot that you shared provides no data related to app usage.
You can try few things to troubleshoot but it's time consuming. So if you're interested let me know.
