Battery charged at 100%, but the led is still red - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I guys, I just noticed for the first time that the led still remain red after the battery is charged at 100%. It never happened before, until now the led became blue (or green, I didn't remember) after the battery was 100% full. I didn't touch anything and I didn't installed anything. What can it be?

How long was it at 100? My phone has just turned to 100 and was red before I took it off charger..

You should probably wait for another 5-10 minutes.

Maybe it is the problem. I looked at the phone just after it turned 100%. I had to wait few more minutes.. Do you think that the battery can has "problem" in this case? Should be better if it was charged until the led became blu.

I think it's not truly fugly charged until it turns blue personally but also doubt it hurts any either. I don't see a problem though with it being red at 100 unless it's been 100 for over a few mins. It slowly charges the closer it gets to full

Mine has been doing that since I got it. At 100% it still shows red and +- 3 minutes later it changes to blue....

Thank you guys, the important thing is that che battery functionality is preserved. At the end, 100% is 100%, red or blue is not that important

I think that is totally normal.
Check this, if it says 100% but still lids orange, go to battery settings and see Android saying "charging". You will also realize it says "full" and it returns blue after 5 minutes or so.

I already did, but android doesn't says "charging", but another thing which I don't remember. Anyway it doesn't matter, it's enough to know that is normal [emoji3]

It is normal do not worry
And I suggest you to charge it to 95% or 90% only.. it will make the battery life Longer after years of usage

Try to check once again next time. I have once again checked for you and that is what Android says when it is written 100% but the light is still orange.
Right, it eventually turns green in a few minutes you said so things are in order

I don't think so. I read a lot about this and with new batteries there is no reason to do this "tricks". It worked with old battery, but now there is no need [emoji3]

The maximum capacity is 3600mAh and when you charge it always to 100% the maximum capacity will decrease faster after years.. yeah the new batteries are improved but not in this point..

I think that there is a system which prevent this. The engineers should think to those things.

They did not yet

Power OFF // Take the battery away // Keep Power Buton pressed 10 sec // Put the Battery in place // Power ON // LED is Green
Works on my Note 4

Try these(works for battery error/charging port moisture detection bugs)
1. USB settings >> CLEAR DATA , CLEAR CACHE
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Settings >> Apps >> LED >> clear data >> clear cache
4. Settings >> apps >> settings >> Clear data >> clear cache

[Q] strange battery drain: fast to 1% and like that forever!

Hello!
I bought a new battery (original motorola) from amazon a few weeks ago and it drains in a strange way... it goes down from 100% to 1% in like 3 hours and then stays at 1% for 3 more hours... does anybody know the reason of this?
I already wiped battery stats (manually from recovery and with battery calibrator)... at the beginning i thought it was a matter of time, that the battery would have worked after a few complete cycles of charge but it didn't go that way!
thank you all!
Here goes a screenshot of my battery status... and i'm still using the phone at 1%...

I had the same problem with my phone when I got it and I tried everything with battery calibration and such.
In the end it was a mix of several problems:
1st my battery was crap. I tested all the batteries I could find on ebay from any company and I didnt have the 1% issue in the end anymore but the voltage was crap.
I got an original hf5x battery in the end, no drops and everything is fine.
Also try this:
Get Battery Monitor Widget Pro-->Calibration-->set the output voltage of the charger and read the data what the battery tells you.
The cheap ones say 1150 or so, my hf5x told my 1700.
Then charge-->uncharge-->... and battery monitor widget pro is dormant and calculates the real voltage of the battery.Then click on "Update mAh" and set it to the setting the app tells you to.
Thats your real voltage, no 1% issue in the end anymore.
Most possible that your battery is a fake which hasn't the required capacities. Is often happen with after-market batteries.
Thank you very much dude! Could this fix the "drops" problem of the original battery too?
I bought this one because the original one had 20% drops...

I had similar issue on my old G2,it was because my battery was old and needed to be replaced.

Same thing happened to me. Only once though. Charging from 14% then jumped to 100% in seconds. Rebooted, and it's back.
Its normal, nothing to worry about. Something to do with battery reading and sudden change in voltages or something.
what rizy7 said above... Nexus 4 has a bit of wonkiness in reading battery level, sometimes. Not sure if it's purely hardware, probably a combination of hardware and software problem. Google, for a smart company, does some stupid things. Just look at how they have handled the marketing and sales of the nexus phones over the years. Pure disaster. LG made a brilliant phone in the Nexus 4, great industrial design and some great stuff innards too. Then Google punted on day one on play store. A total chaos ensued, buyers were getting their orders deleted after they were confirmed. Such inept online marketing. Also, where is the after-sales customer service? No wonder the Apple fanboi's are laughing at us.
Same thing happened to me while debugging an app with ADB. Rebooted and it shows the real battery level.
Use all ur battery until it is empty, charge until 100%. Reboot into recovery and press on wipe battery stats.

I use TWRP for costum recovery and there is no wipe battery stats.
Happened with me today. Twice. Why is the battery reading doing this? Pretty strange.

How to wipe battery stat,How to fix incorrect battery status

I have problem with battery status.I try delete file batterystats.bin in my data-system but not fix it.All version CWM not "wipe battery stats" line..Help me
Apparently wiping battery stats doesn't do anything at all, it only wipes the actual history of battery usage, the same you see when you go to the menu and click the battery.
The whole subject is really a lot of speculation that as there doesn't seem to be a definite answer to calibrating the battery.
What seems to work for me and what seems to be advised more often is to fully discharge the phone, by normal usage then leaving it charging through the night, repeat the process the next day. When doing this process don't charge it in the middle of battery, you must wait until it dies.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
@Mottz is right. Wiping that file only removes the history of what app used how many percent of the battery. This has been confirmed by a Google engineer.

Hey, my device also shows incorrect battery %age. To fix that all I need to do is follow @Mottz's procedure, correct?

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried charging through the night and then discharging it completely and charging it completely again. I also tried deleting the batterystats file (even though I know it doesn't do anything)
So what do you suggest I should do? Get the phone replaced or get the battery changed?
I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20

This does nothing for a lithium battery.
Except maybe kill it faster.
What exactly is your battery issue?

[Q] New battery : never to 100%

Hi,
Since my Nexus 4 battery life was getting worse, I decided on buy a new battery from EtradeSupply.com
Installation went smoothly.
But since then (about a week now), I was never able to charge the battery to 100%.
When I check the phone after a few hours, it says Fully Charged, but then when I unplug it, it shows 85% or up to 91%
I have tried charging my phone while turning it off, full discharge, I tried re-calibrating the battery, but nothing works.
Any idea what is happening?
I am running KitKat, with CM by the way.
Are you sure that is an original battery? I bought a new one on ebay and it has a lot of problems. after i bought it on lgspares.com and it is good.

I got this one : http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-lg-nexus-4-e960-battery.html
It's supposed to be OEM LG legit.
try to reset battery stats with this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
i had similar problems in my previous phone when installed a custom rom. this helped me.
Turns out the battery was defective (or fake).
It died completely a few days ago, and couldn't turn on the phone anymore.
I ordered another battery from another website, and the new one is working perfectly (charges to 100%)
So my advice : avoid http://www.etradesupply.com/ !

Battery problem (stuck at 100%)

Hi, I'm using a 19505 and was on stock rom. One day the battery got stuck at 100%. I tried to flash other roms and nothing happened, and now I'm on a 4.4.2 Google edition rom. The battery is still stuck at 100%.
I've searched everywhere and still haven't found a solution. Please help!

The battery indicator is stuck at 100%. The battery itself drains. After a few minutes of heavy usage the phone just turns off.

Replace your battery. Surely you have one with serial number starting at DD or BD.

Or reset the battery counter thing. Maybe the calibration is off.

Your battery is sn AA, so you don't have a factory damaged battery. Anyway this doesn't necessary mean your battery is not damaged. If i were you i would try with a second battery from any friend (or just buy it, it is cheap and so you will have got a second emergency battery) and see if same happen. I am almost 100% sure it is a problem with the electronic circuit inside the battery (not electrical problem) which provide status information data from the battery to the phone.

You cannot calibrate the battery using an app. Every app that claims that is lying. You could in the past but that was a long time ago.
I've same problem. Have someone solved it? How? Help asap pls
Replace your battery. That's the only way to solve the problem.

Download Repair Battery Life, and Advanced Battery Calibrator from Play Store.
@Uzair40:
Today's myth debunking: "The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."
--Dianne Hackborn, Google Engineer
Battery calibration apps do not work! The only thing they do is something Android itself already does: delete batterystats.bin. The only viable solution here is for the user to replace their battery, as the microprocessor in the battery itself is faulty and reporting an incorrect voltage, which Android translates into a battery percentage.
Calibration doesn't work. Battery is ok. I checked with other device. Baterystats.bin deleted and doesn't work.
thank you

I'm using 4.4.2 stock XEO and yes, this happen on every ROM. I downgraded from 5.0.1 to see if it would work but nothing changed.
You've tried the battery in another device and it works fine, so it's not the battery. This happens on every ROM, so the only possibility left is that you have a hardware problem on the motherboard itself.

So, I 'have to use to it. It won't be a problem but i won't know when my battery will be low. Is there any app that show real battery status? I'm asking because LED shows real status while charging. And sorry for my english but I'm still learning it.
