I have looked on Google and found a few things but none lead to edit the battery capacity. There is a capacity file but it is for percentage. I have a 4200 but always shows 3200 in apps. If I can change file maybe the phone will act as if I actually have an upgraded battery, or am I just thinking in left field?

I need or would like to set the reading so that system/ all apps can read as the 4200 or what ever is needed to be entered for value from batteries. A file edit. Any app that I have seen reads from system and not the battery itself by default.

I thought our nexus 4's came with Li-po battery. By pressing *#*#4636#*#* then going to battery information I found this.

as you can see on the battery technology it says its a li-on. My question is does any of yours say's this aswell? or is it just me
Thanks in advance
Mine says li-ion as well, cpu-z also says li-ion.

I think that this is code mistake, because programs take that info from device files where it's stored (idk how program can watch it in other way). Our battery is Li-PO, because that said in specs. Google can't lie to users.

Theoretically, to make use of a larger capacity battery or else it'll show the same stock capacity regardless of it's real capacity.
Now I don't know how it is For S7/Edge or Samsung devices but I previously owned several HTC devices. The last I had was One S and it could accomodate the battery from One XL (same size but bigger capacity). Many have tried and replaced it but even the new capacity was shown correctly, phone wasn't using it at full. After researches it came out that, for effectively using a bigger capacity battery it was needed a new kernel compiled to make use of the new battery capacity.
My point is that, you might need that as well here and I really doubt that anyone can compile from source a kernel for Exynos that can contain such changes as I know that sources are proprietary not open. You might fit a bigger capacity battery but it could be that you won't benefit from it's increased size

There are reference files in the kernel ...
They reference battery capacity...
They are based off of a capacity % value
Basically an of/if command ... so in theory...
(Update: the theory was correct)
And a framework.res edit did suffice.
The file inside of framework-res res/xml/power_profile.xml
referenced a 3600mah battery ...
And the purpose of this is of course...
an aftermarket , fully synced , and properly programmed battery @ larger capacity 4200mah
To track all stats natively in any android rom
I use my device pretty heavy with it....
Background youtube, pandora, games, etc...
Stock S7 edge kernel/boot.img , modified build.prop (TeKHd Rom)
Also calibrated battery after changing the capacity values

This is my second time purchasing the same aftermarket battery... first time I installed it into a G928A (s6 edge plus)
Now ive installed it in this device... ive gone several months without seeing charge/discharge loss...
But heres the next question... say... you go through 2 batteries a year... 15$ each....
Would that not be worth the extra phone on time anyways?

Fair enough, but how do you really know it's 4200mah instead of the regular 3600mah?
After the Note 7 fiasco, people tend to be more careful about aftermarket batteries.

Any battery lithium... copper core... can overheat and cause what happened to the 7 line...
And this device claims to be water "resistant" ... but people were testing new units and ruining cameras... so...

Did you even found bigger aftermarket batteries? And did you ever tried to test the battery and his capacity before implementing them? I often have the feeling they are faking the written numbers on it

you can break out ohms law and calculate power
( find something that runs off the same voltage , and run the tests yourself for discharge rate @ hours )
Yamaha169 said:
Well, to me... thats arguing a moot point...
Thats like asking me how i know im getting a gallon of gas at the pump.
But... the evidence is in the calculation of the user ... because there are FAR too many variables ...
There are applications that track power loss by MAH (mili-amp hour) if you use over the stock MAH rating... it would have a larger storage capacity.
Or you can break out ohms law and calculate power , disect this battery and beat your head against a post ..

im sorry my english isn't that good but i think the capacity of this battery is not related to the user nor there are many variables.
Probably i didnt used the right words but what i was asking for is for example:
Connect the battery to a constant current load and measure the time it takes to discharge the battery to a certain voltage.
Capacity in Ah = Current in Amperes * Time in hours​
that would give a good overview of the real capacity without using a fishy app or harassing a post

The statistic listed in most apps is simply what's reported by the hardware profile rather than the actual capacity of the exact cell in the device. What app is that exactly? I don't recognise it.

Battery info
I am also in the same boat, this is what is reported by Kernel Aduitor, are you in LineageOS like myself or are you using the stock ROM?
EDIT: We're using the G5 power_profile.xml but should be using the V20, if we get the right fixes in next LineageOS or AOSP builds it will display properly the 3200 mAh capacity:

Try using CPU spy and check if the drain is due to the phone not going deep sleep ?

Yeah it works , try updating to latest firmware as they have improved battery drain , you could turn off AOD , put some apps to sleep in the settings that you don't use and optimize battery usage for them. i was told Mobile Data consumes alot of battery , I'm getting 2% drain for the night unless I leave some downloads.

I have not. I have literally no idea why the phone is acting this way. I also don't know why my battery stats are not working on the app.
Also idk if this information will help my phone is a snap dragon 855 US variant.
I might try another factory reset. Could you give me a safe to disable list? Perhaps I could try just disabling little pieces at a time and see what happens. Maybe I uninstalled an important service or something.
For example I completely removed wellbeing from my device. Idk if it is important etc or had a role in certain services.

Sure, I have the exynos so that might explain why cpu spy works for me.
Google battery historian (there is a good reddit sub that explains how to use it) which might help identify some issues

Accubattery does not work for showing an accurate battery % on the OnePlus phones.
Well known issue that has never been addressed, so don't use it for that.
You could manually set the battery size to be the same as it is showing to monitor wear, but that's about it.
