Guys! I just got my new HETP 6800 Mah Extended Battery today. I'm just wondering if I need to calibrate the battery for the first time. I have read in several reviews of other extended batteries that the battery should be drained completely before charging the for the first time and it should be repeated to 3 times in order to calibrate the battery. Is it advisable to do that?
Ps: I don't trust those battery calibration app so please refrain from recommending them.
Did it anyways lol. Although I got a strange issue when the battery is on 30%,the battery is draining fast but when on 2% it takes 2 hours to discharge the battery even mobile data is on. It is so weird. How do I calibrate the battery percentage? Please help.

anyone is using this extended battery? I got one but the battery indicator can never be indicated accurately..
mugen or seidio would have been your best bet...
I have this exact same battery and have the same problem. Did you ever resolve it?

no i couldn't fix this problem and additional headache is the thing can not be charged now. i paid more than 30 $ to buy this piece of shi-t.

I also acquired an XL battery and have the same problem with the battery indicator (it can remain 0% for a whole day until the actual battery charge drains completely). Does anyone have an answer to what can be done so that the indicator adapts to the correct battery capacities?

i have had that problem using the stock battery. my battery will sit at 0% for hours sometimes, i can even use a high amount of data and it usually doesnt shut off for a while... ????
I have this one. And i noticed that my battery indicator had shown a full charge for most of the day, even with moderate use.
Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone can tell me if charging the battery from 10-15% to 100% its bad for my device? Also which recomendations you suggest for reduce battery damage on the device? Ive read about the li-polymer batteries and some says that is bad for the battery to leave it conected log periods of time, also other mentioned that leaving the battery till it reach 10-15% is good method for prolong its battery life, but imnot sure about this tips.
Can someone tell me some recomendations?
I know from experience, li-po batteries do not last if fully discharged everytime, meaning don't run it till it shuts off. I am charging in the 10-15% range. As far as leaving it connected to the charger, I'm not sure if thats bad. If all you did was use it while connected to the charger, yes that will result in reduced battery life due to it not getting discharged.
do i drain the battery before first charge? is it really necessary to do overnight first charge or 3-4 hour full charge will do? need to take extra care since it is non removable.
I know that's really un-educated but I'm not sure about those things as well ... is it good to drain it first and then recharge it, or recharge it at the beginning .. and is it bad when you take it off the charger in the middle of the process?
I know it depends on battery type. And actually what would make sense is just following the manual. Why shouldn't the manufacturer know?
Anyway, anyone with some knowledge on that, please help!
Nearly all cell phones use Lithium-based batteries, which should not be drained before charging. The "drain before charge" thing only applies to nickel cadmium batteries.
You should charge your phone battery as often as possible. It's better for the battery to go from 100% to 80% five times than to go from 100% to 0% once.
I have read several articles that state it is BAD to completely drain a lithium polymer battery so I plan to just keep it charged as usual.

I've heard the same info too where it'll damage the battery by draining it completely. Although, I heard that power management on devices sometimes need to be calibrated by taking the lithium battery to near 0%...it's that way on my macbook pro...not sure about phones.
Is there a need for battery calibration ? If say some percentage ranges the battery drops reasonably and at certain percentages the battery just dives. If so how do I do that?
No need to calibrate your battery (ITS A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY), use it as you normally would. Enjoy it till the Note 5 comes out.
But if you want to extend the lifespan in your battery (don't confuse with everyday everyday life), a complete discharge once in a while is still recommended.

I've just recent purchased a official Samsung spare battery for my N910C. I charged it fully after I received it in the mall. But when I used it for the first time today it said that it had only a 80% charge despite the fact that I charged it fully when I received it in the mall. I did some research online and found a couple of methods on how I could calibrate the battery without having to root my device. But I'm not sure which method is the best.
The 1st is:
To drain the battery fully.
Then plug it in and charge it again.
Then drain fully again and charged it fully.
The 2nd is to:
Drain the battery fully.
Turn it on and off.
Then plug it in to charge.
Once the LED or display says it's fully charged, unplug it.
Power my device back on, which will stated that the battery not fully charged.
Plug it back into the charger and let it fully charge.
Then reboot it to check if it's full charged.
If it's not repeat the previous couple of steps again
Does anybody know which of these is the best method for calibrating the battery of a Note 4?
I've got an issue with my battery where phone shuts down every time at 30% and won't charge above 80% unless I disconnect and reconnect charger then charges rapidly to 100%
I've heard LiPo batteries are easily damaged and have a short life span. In my case it has came to 0% numerous times. I tried calibrating it and still nothing
Here is some info on the battery.
Are those mA measurement's okay or bad?
These measurements are totally normal
It's probably your rom mate

Sounds like you need to return it under warranty.
Well I tried many different ROMs and stock firmwares still no luck. I've called service center and they will fix it. I think Li-Ion batteries are far better then Li-Poly
Had that issues on my previous device, Galaxy S4. Shutdowns at ~20% battery, terrible sot. My battery went bad so i replaced it with new battery and that solved it.
Consider replacing battery if flashing stock firmware does not help.
Batteries can last long if you take care of it. I guess you tortured it by draining it all the way to 0% or using the phone while its connected on charger, you should NEVER do that! 20% in my opinion is minimum before you should charge it to prolong battery life. Also if you really want very long battery life, do not charge it above 90%.

Thank you, I will be sending phone to service center. I really was using it while it was charging and it went to 0% million times.
This is what you guys get with a bad battery

How long have you had the phone? I doubt li-poly batteries is alot worse than li-ion since both are very similar.
