Is it possible to charge only to 80%? - Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers

I know that to extend battery life you should use the strategy 50-80, that means that you should charge your phone when reaches 50-60% and charge it until 75-80%
You can read a little bit more about that in this page:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Is there a way to charge the phone until it get to certain level (75 or 80%)?

yeah, it is possible. I, for example, charge mine just to 90%
there are methods to that, I use Tasker for it. Grab it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ilctk6xgycf1zo/ChargeBreak.prf.xml?dl=0 if you want =)
Then using Tasker you just have to set the battery level you want to =P

I use the fdroid app repository https://f-droid.org/ which provides all free and open-source apps.
There is an app called "Battery charge limit"
I does what you ask and works very well!

now that you mentioned it, I remember that there is a magisk module to control battery limit too

Consider accubattery, too...

[Dev request] ignore low battery states

I want to be able to set android to ignore low battery states. No 15% warning and no shutdown on 0%
Is this possible ?
This would make it very easy to use the 2400mah battery.

You could use one of the BETA Kernel with Extended Battery Support..
There you could "use" these type of Battery !
It isnt good to deactivated these secret Warnings because you should know if the Battery would be discharged to 0 % !!

I whole heartedly agree with you. There is no point of any batteries shutting down at 3.6 volts whether regular or extended. It is a well known fact that our batteries can be safely discharged to 3.3 volts with no ill effects whatsover.
There is no way to discharge the battery to the unsafe level of lower than 3 volts (i believe it is around 2.7v when the safety chip/mechanism kicks in shutting the battery down to prevent damage)
So it would be a great step forward for someone to lower the stupid 3.6v preset shutdown in the kernels and drop it down to 3.3 volts
If anything Arne might be the one to do it... He alone came up with the extended versions of the other kernels here. Wish I knew where to look to lower the phone shuttdown limit.
Lanhack the cheap extended battery is great if we can have the phone ignore % and we use a voltage widget to understand our power level. The cheap one doesn't report as an extended battery so arnes kernel has no use for these batteries right now. Also it doesn't report % properly and the kernals go to 0% with over 70% still left in the battery no matter what kernel you use.

[Q] Is there a way to override the battery capacity ?

I've recently tried a cheap high capacity battery, over twice the capacity of the original one (but, of course, twice as fat and heavy). While the battery charges to it's 4.2V and discharges down to about 3.5V properly (tested manually, with the multimeter), the phone keeps reporting the battery as 1230mAh, tracking it accordingly. This causes the phone to go from 100% down to 15% at about the speed it would with the original battery and then remain at 15% for a full day. Similarly, charging the battery makes it go to 100% twice as fast as it should, yet the battery keeps charging after it reaches those virtual 100%, up to the proper 4.2V, with the proper current (NOT trickle charging).
I've already tried the obvious (fully charge, delete the stats file, fully use the charge, then full recharge again), it didn't really help, it only distributed the estimation a tiny little bit.
Any solutions ? Is there a proper way to manually override the battery capacity either with or without recalibration ?

Maybee battery curent widget... inside you have settings/monitoring/battery capacity...
But with that attitude I'm almoust sorry to help you
I am familiar with that widget, overriding the capacity setting there only changes the displayed capacity in the app, it doesn't affect the estimations at all. Sorry, i should have mentioned trying this.
PS: What attitude ? Bumping a thread that got buried on a third page after just 2 days, without a single answer, while most other threads that bury it could be answered using a search button ?! I can assure you, i may do it once again after a week+ or something and then i'll just forget about it, you can check my others threads And yea, they usually remain either unanswered, or self-answered after all (rare, but if it happens, i post my findings in the thread)
PPS: If you consider it such a "bad attitude" just don't bother helping. Thanks.
Battery reading is indeed not 100% perfect. But what ever change we would make. It is not gonna give you extra battery life. Until some one fix it there is no way to read it 100% correct. So that is the whole story.

Well, i don't bet on it to be 100% correct, but it should be something relatively close to the reality, while in case of this particular battery it's nowhere near that.
It assumes 1230mAh, calibrated or not, and i am 100% sure it takes this value from somewhere. In any case, it should be possible to patch, the question is where/how. Since i am not exactly an Android/Linux guru, the only things i did to find it out are searching this forum and doing simple google searches, finding nothing beyond the usual calibration thing. I though maybe someone may know something, that's why i posted the thread. I guess i was wrong about it.
PS: I guess i'll either abandon this, or start my own research, beginning at the source code of the ROM/kernel i use

i think you just need a rom/kernel that support extended batteries.

Tytung R10 does. All those kernels only support "official HTC extended battery" though, and i have yet to find out what does it really mean (read - what's the technical difference between the official and unofficial one). Note that the battery is charged/discharged properly, its just the stats/percentage remaining that go haywire.
mhh, just made some researches...
Stumbled over these threads:
Crazy, that there is a different behaviour if you have an orig. HTC or not...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948181
Also read somewhere, that you really need to charge your phone to fully 100%, so that current widget shows 0ma...and then let the phone a few more hours at the charger, (DONT remove your charger) then manually delete the batterstats file in /data/system, turn off the device, REMOVE the charger, then boot the device.
Good luck
For those really interested to know what the technical difference between those bats... its the thermistor values range. Thats it.
The different batteries are identified by that thermistor value, all the batteries parameters are in the "ds2746_param_config.h", the table i am interested in modifying is the FL_25, one that defines the full battery capacity.
Sadly, this, most probably, requires a kernel recompilation, something i can't do, not without setting up all the required environment first Or, maybe it's possible to just patch the kernel image with hexeditor, i'll probably take a look.
PS: Thanks for everyone for trying to help.
EDIT: patching zImage would be harder than just recompiling it
not saying this is the right answer or that you haven't already tried but it didn't half help me out as i was only getting 8 hours before i used it, and i only got around 15 hours when i used to use wm, also left a print screen of what i get after i use the features in THIS page...

Android battery charging myths and the real truth.

After many different methods,hundreds of post by others. No method of full charge works for everyone. Well I decided to find out from the source, I contacted HTC,Google,Qualicom and Samsung. So first off there,s alot of misinformation about the battery stats bin. What really happens when you wipe battery stats??? NOTHING!!! That's right absolutely nothing. As quoted by all companies I,ve contacted heres the real deal.(batterystats.bin) is used to maintain, across reboot,low level data about your device and operations of apps during charging. Its only used to record things like this app held a wake time of ? Or your screen was using 40% recources for x amount of time. The stats bin actually has nothing at all to do with current or maximum level of charge allowable. So if you do wipe the battery stats bin what happens? The reporting that occurs in the stats bin might be allowed to report faster due to being cleaned. So then how do I get a full charge. Well sorry to say the's no real good way short of constant monitoring of your charge. lets look at what a L'ion battery really does. A lion battery is basically the same as nicad or lead acid.the difference is the amount of charge per cell. Most L'ion battery hold a Max charge of 4.2v +/- 50mV a cell. That being said leaving your battery charging over night not only wastes power but actually oxidizes the cells causing the battery to not fully charge. Our batteries will charge more effectively by not full charging to 100% every time. Getting a good battery monitor widget like the one by 3c is your best friend, when your at 0ma your pretty much done.. So to wrap this up and still give you proper info here we go!!! Screen time out and LCD density drain most of your battery. Using task managers to kill apps actually uses more battery because Android will re open apps as it chooses, there's no need to kill an app unless you know why your doing it android does a great job of resource management. Also remember any mods or tweaks you use might add extra strain on your battery. Multiple launchers,live wallpapers,not backing out of apps properly especially games. The main things to consider when your battery loses charge fast is, does my rom use more resources than stock, do I have to many active apps, do I not know how to properly exit applications. ALL THIS INFO IS FACT AND CAN BE VERIFIED BY A LITTLE RESEARCH ON YOUR PART!

Yes, the wiping battery stats in recovery does NOTHING. Glad to see this reported. I've read much about this on Google+, with actual Google engineers and employees and developers debunking this. It only deletes your phones record of battery use (essentially), i.e. has absolutely zero effect on battery use, only record/reporting.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
While this is correct an SBC kernel will allow your phone to get a higher charge and hold it there while undervolting will lessen the amount of power used therefore giving u better battery life.
While fully charging a battery will potentially lessen the life of a battery, it could take years for a noticeable effect... And in reality, how many people will continue having the evo once their contract is up, and the recent/upcoming lte releases become free with upgrade down the road...
Not to mention letting the phone discharge too low is not great for a battery either...
I concur on battery stats not needing to be wiped...
Nice post overall, and some really good information presented, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the information! I wonder how this will be received by those who've been doing this battery stats wiping religiously when flashing ROMs. Interesting to get some information from the SOURCE!
Also, I've always used the sbc kernels, and have had no battery issues (and I let the phone charge all night, every night). I'm sure it'll mess up my battery eventually, but I got my current one free anyway from Sprint (extended one), so oh well. No loss!

This is good info - I can confirm that. Sometimes we advise our customers to wipe out the stats, because this differs from phone to phone. Dell Streak 5 for example, has the .bin file hardcoded somehow to the OEM battery capacity, so the charge indication is not shown properly if the battery is bigger than the OEM (if I'm not mistake). But in general, yes, wiping the .bin file won't increase battery life.
There is a good article on this from Lifehacker on Task Killers. Google "Android Task Killers Explained: What They Do and Why You Shouldn't Use Them"
When changing roms, is it advisable to wipe the battery stats?

Any battery monitor app works?

As usual, BetterBatteryStats and Gsam Battery Monitor are among the first apps that I install on my new devices and I often use them to check what apps are eating my battery. The two apps worked perfectly on my non-rooted S9+ running OneUI (Android Pie) with some extra adb commands, but on this S10+ they both don't work; BBS says "No stats have been collected yet", GSam is laggy, only shows the %1, %0... and drains my battery like hell during screen off (4-5%/hour).
So has anyone succeeded in making any of the two apps work? Or are you using another app with the same function?
Thanks for opening this thread. Yes, I am having the exactly same experience like you.
I am experincing the exact same thing!
Thought I was going mental.
I'm running AccuBattery and CPU spy reloaded, both apps report that my phone never goes to deep sleep, but I can't define what causes it
The actual values seem to be fine, though. Mine uses under 1 percent per hour over night after disabling the sonos app - it is a disgrace ever since. Exynos, 512GB S9+.
I'm running accubattery and in my case it DOES register deep sleep. So the lack of feel sleep for some might be caused by another issue that actually blocks the phone from deep sleeping

had the same issue no deep sleep. but this solved the issue for me follow this steps.
go to settings - general - reset - dont factory reset - but reset all other 3 options. 1-network reset 2. accessibility reset. 3. all settings reset then redo the settings as per ur liking it ll fix the issue.

What is your messured battery capacity? Mine is 3650-3700...of 4100...wtf?
I had this same issue, and I uninstall accubattery, install it again, and reset the battery calibration reading using that code after I cleaned system cache on recovery *#0228#, yesterday I decided to turn the device off as I though my battery was going full crazy downhill drainingtown (joke) and turn it on, left it on airplane mode overnight with bluetooth on, and it has not stabilise and accubattery does report deep sleep. Also I check the battery every 2-3 hours to see how is the drain. Running since 5 am european time at 34% now at 11% and it is 11:45 AM european time as I write this post

If it's based on charging from like 60 to 100, or 25-85 % and so on, it will only show you some rough estimates, far from real capacity possibly. 1-100 % charges are far more accurate. For what i see, Samsung is bullshiting with the 4100mAh capacity, or controller software is limiting it to about 3700-3800 regions. In the menu it clearly says- 4100 typical and 4000 minimum capacity...

Don't forget the basic li-ion battery rules, one of them is that at least 5% of your total charge will be kept as reserve in case of overdraining, about 200mAh of your battery in this case are there to keep your battery rechargable, every battery powered device works like that, no need to accuse Samsung of anything regarding that aspect.

Sure...but i messured 3500 mAh on phone turned off...bit too much of a difference, hm? On the other hand, messuring iPhone 8 gave me almost exactly what was stated , the same with 20000mAh powerbank, messured even bit more...so i'd just encourage others to test and compare. 3h20min SoT also seems weak tbh...

Gsam says Bluetooth heavy batery drain, system says only 1%

Btw It says 72% in 11 hours because i had the phone with justo the screen off all the night, but It normally says i have around 4 hours of screen time. But as i said in the title, gsam says that, it may be that im misunderstanding what the percentages mean, because my settings use of batery says another thing.
I recently flashed the Evolution X ROM, but It was the same with the oxygenos 11 stock rom
EDIT: i justo checked gsam percentages are how much time It was used, not how much of the batery It has used, so nevermind
EDIT 2: Still, i think 4 hours of screentime is still too low, could It be that my battery is damaged??

You are using a custom rom. I dont use this phone for a month anymore but the last time i used it auto brightness was broken on custom roms and no fix in sight. So display was the biggest battery drainer.
This was never the case on OOS roms.
Anyway for me the battery of the op8pro was some of the disadvantages. Im now using the Nothing Phone 1 and its like day and night.
Nothing is focusing on software optimisation and you can feel it.

I don't use auto brightness no I don't know, i always set brightness to 50% and pretty much never change it. Anyway, this custom ROM is amazing, is super smooth and one of the best experiences I've ever had with a phone. After some use the battery is not as good but it isn't bad either so i will stick to this until my phone fully breaks or something.

I was on their A13 Evo X and my battery life was bad. I went back to AICP A12 which is an excellent rom also.

Do you remember how much battery duration you had from one full charge with Evo x and with AICP??

I guess the biggens drain was when it was supposed to sleep like being in your pocket or face down. The battery just click down no matter what I did. I did not let it drain since I am a full charge freak.
In contrast AICP barely uses anything when the screen is on AOD. My phone has been on for 15 hours right now and is at 47% with about 6 hours of use. I think if I didn't charge on the EVO X rom, it want last about 8 hours under the same conditions. I like the rom and wish I could use it but I have a weird feeling like I am being ripped off when my battery drains that fast.

Same, but the rom is so smooth and since the battery is still better than stock i'll keep this rom until i really need to flash another one because of the battery life
