I really don't think there's a single tangible benefit to killing the battery like that, and there are plenty of arguments to suggest it could be detrimental. And 'battery stats deletion' has been dismissed by android developers.

But I think that if you have seen a benefit from this process so far it's mostly (if not only) because of the simple process of giving your phone:

a) some reasonable time switched off and

b) a proper 5-12 hour charge.

This is good, healthy practice for any user who is constantly using their device, rarely turns it off and/or normally only charges the standard 3 hours.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stupotty1210:
dude i tried every guide out ther, this method worked for me, and its not a matter of killing the battery in bad way as you make it sound, this method emptied it the battery to atleast 1% so when you wipe stats it results in a accurate collaboration, it seems to collaborate the battery to real life standard.

as it should be, people with sh** battery life have nothing to lose, and we all have/had this issue, but i dont anymore so it helped me and im just sharing the love. if it dosnt work for you then check your scripts/oc ect. this is running realy well so far and wifi has been on but phone idle since last post and it hasnt dropped a bit. try and test :cool:

p.s 12hr charge is over kill. lowers overall battery life fast.

p.p.s im a heavy user, and i test roms alot, had my ace for 6 months now, and i Know ther is a better battery life right away with this method.

tried and tested, im using DDKQ8 with AOSP Beta1 flashed on top.

BEST BATTERY LIFE I HAVE EVER HAD IN ALL TESTS/ROM/SCRIPT COMBOS.:cool:

did this help?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
I'm sure it does, but what I'm saying is that it works for the reasons I suggest are good in your method, and not because you kill the battery to the point you can only open in recovery, then delete battery stats. That's pretty laborious too.

Not really. Built in killswitch prevents overcharge. But point about longer charging is that Samsung batteries in particular are lazy at energy uptake. That's why over the course of a week the life-cycle of the phone will slowly deteriorate despite it saying its been charged to 100% each time.

I'm not dismissing your method all together, just saying some of it is good and some of it is pointless. I suppose experimentation is the only scientific way to come to a proper answer.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tents:
I feel this is not the good way to get some extra juice if we keep on doing this on daily basis then there will be a problem to battery and moreover this process takes so much time also so its better to keep charger with u. Battery stats wipe has nothinh to do with battery juice stats are for only purpose which shows which app used how much battery.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prashanthme:
My suggesstion is leave the battery alone for a week.. Keep using it as usual.. After a week u ll see the battery becomes normal.. I stopped doing that now phone discharges normally.. I get around 17-18 HRs with 3G..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stupotty1210:
can a admin delete this post pls as people dont want to follow the guide and instead posting ther own method if any.

this works sweet for me. i have posted pics to prove its helpe. and yet no one is willing to try if they have rubbish batyery. if ur battery is fine no need to do this. my battery was ****. now its collabed properly.

Options to save your battery

First, don't ever leave your phone charging overnight coz if it gets overcharged, it spoils the overall baterry lyf of your phone...

Second, The best time to charge your phone is when it's below 10%, and don't use usb cables for charging, use the real adapter

Third, Keep brightness low and screen timeout should be quick

Fourth, Make sure that You Tube, music listening, programs which runs in the background including the Sync option along with Bluetooth should be turned off whenever necessary as these too constitutes fair amount of battery drain.

Fifth, GPS as well as the Camera eats up a lot of battery, so always remember to switch these both off when not in use or necessary and specially when battery is low then it’s advised to not to use these features which can be quickly done by setting the widget shortcut on the home screen itself, touch and hold on the Home Screen in the blank area and not on any app icon and select Widget>Power Control. Add this Widget to your home screen to choose the express settings.

P.S- Sorry for my english..:o

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stupotty1210:
do this. do that. use this. use that. i write this guide to help people. now its been hijacked with do this or do that.... bottom line is my battery is soooo much better now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
I don't know if this guide is usefull or not but i want to try. If not i post the answer, if yes the same. Simply.

I have a lot of problems with the battery, first of all the random drain and fall pecentage of battery are very annoying, and i know also that this phone is not made for longest phone calls (i use my phone 2 h 30 per day for phone calls only).

So if this can't help me, i'm staying with my problems.:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
I'll try this and leave some feedback!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
After all the procedure, i've droped the charger and boot my phone. But after 3min the battery fall to 90%
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
How long did you charge it for?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] opawix00:
Easiest way for me is to charge to full with my phone turned off... travel about 30mins of music to work and only 2%, 5% at most is taken from batt....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Yes. That's preferable for giving the battery some rest too. Or you can charge with the phone on, but turn it off before removing the charger, then turning back on once the charger has been removed. This will initialise the battery stats to provide marginally more accuracy, although it will do nothing to actual battery performance.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
4 h and 30 min. After 3h 28min i have 62% of battery.... 42 min of calls, wifi always active, 2g activated.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Right a couple of points to make:

1. Screen-on time is the biggest battery drain.

2. Data and WiFi (syncing etc) are drains regardless of when your screen is on but

a) makes a huge difference what sort of signal you get

b) whether your device is having to switch between each one

c) this will be best indicated by the 'cell radio battery' stat on your battery stats page

3. A 4 hour charge is OK, but every once in a while it's advisable to give it a more extended period of time on charge, because sometimes the battery uptake is 'lazy' and requires extra bleed-in time.

(4. My personal experience is that at best I can get about 8 hours of 'screen on' & internet browsing time over the course of 30 hours 'on battery time' - this is WITHOUT wifi or 3G...BUT I have terrible 2G signal which means 60% of my battery usage is due to my phone hunting for signal AKA worse than anyone else on here who uses 3G and WiFi and claims its draining their battery...I ENVY those people :D )

Ok. So the next question is, of the 4h 30 mins how much of that time was your screen on for aka, what does 'display' indicate in your battery stats page? That will give a better indication of the sort of strain you're putting on your device and allow for a better understanding of how well its coping.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
Thanks for the answer my display usage was 30 min, 5%. Now after 4 h and 20min i have 42% of battery. I think that some tweak installed yesterday, drain my battery so fast. The configuration of my phone is the same to before. Only standby and display usage are changed. Display is 45 min now.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Right. Just let it go till it switches itself off (once, and only once, no need to stress the battery more than that). When its down to like 5% just write down (or screenshot) some of the battery stats, %'s and times etc. Can then start to build up a more accurate picture of what's happening in your battery lifecycle.

Sometimes the phone can display the battery as taking massive and inaccurate drops then you will actually see your charge indicator going UP as it readjusts its reading. This sort of behaviour is the inevitable result of using our phones non-stop without significant down-time or charge cycles.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ngkongArm:
i've tried so many battery tweaks, but this oen is good to try.

quite simple just erase from cwm.

all this time, i use battery calibration to calibrate the battery.

and its not working i think, my battery keed drain so fast.

i'm using cm7.2 FAT KANG.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrChaosDesire:
Woo! In trying this guide! My battery is now 3% and waiting to die.

Edit: I've wiped battery stats and rebooted and charged it.

Edit 2: Now I'm all charged up! Time to test the battery, no screenies though :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Kamikord:
Thanks for the guide, i will try it tomorrow when my battery die and post any changes.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
Sorry for that. today when my phone is going to die i provide to make a screenshot. i have noticed that the faster drain of yesterday was, in part, was due to TurboBoost v8,5. I tried to reboot when the phone was at 17%, and when it started the battery was at 18%:eek:, after 20 min of usage with navigator and gps, it became to drain.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Stickycover:
The best way to ensure gr8 battery life on any phone without any coding to save battery would be the old school trick, calibration of the battery, i.e, to run down the battery so that it dies and then to continuously charge to 100% and to charge it for another half an hour after the notification of 'charged' shows up.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
I don't think so. The litio battery is an innovation of the oldest battery. The oldest battery has a problem called Memory effect. This problem is about the charging of the battery. When you charged your phone, for example when it was at 20% of battery, the battery charged to 100% but after using the phone died when the battery came to 20%. In the Litio battery this problem it's been deleted (innovation) but this kind of battery will suffers when it comes to 0% and shot off the phone. I think that is not the right way. In my opinion when the battery cames below the 15% or less it's the better time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
Ok, As I previously said... I tried and this is what I have:

After 5h and 17m disconnected from power source I have 28% remaining.

Downloaded some drivers for my laptop using 3g+ (about 200 mbs) cause I'm at work and cannot download them using the PC. FM playback, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and gTalk. Browsing as well.

No Wifi, no BT, no GPS.

I don't even know if this is good or bad... But I quit trying to get my battery last longer... Whenever I could, I'll buy a new phone and that's it.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this bro. :)

EDIT: Now 8hr and 24m and 13% left!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
Here you go. Here there is the screenshot at 3 %. There is black line in the graphic, it's reboot in recovery, for a nandroid backup.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
First impression is that your screen must have been on for at least 6 hours with you using it. And with all those various functions working Id class that as VERY heavy usage & so your batts not done too bad at all.

My next suggestion will be underclocking with SetCPU. Have you tried this yet?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
Now i want to try two ways:

1) Change the script/tweak installed

2) Underclock or using other governor
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] eklipzoz:
how can i delete a tweak ? can somebody help me ? please !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
Just remind me which ROM/Kernel you are using. Will obviously change your governor options. I actually find Stock 'deadline' to be pretty much spot on for my user requirements (browsing/calling/texting). But if you intend on gaming/music/video you might prefer one of the modded ones.

For underclocking I found it helped massively to increase power saving in 'screen-off' mode, and in general usage I rarely ever require full processor power and the lag at 480mhz is minimal at best. Will definitely improve things.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MrChaosDesire:
16h 5m 2s on battery and left with 3%.

Very good battery life considering that I'm on for about 8hours of screen awake and on wifi the whole time. Feels better I must say, cheers!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Teflon_:
Ok guys. I have an idea for testing our battery. There is application called Antutu Tester. This app is a battery tester (you can also do other things). It shows a battery score after a test, this test takes from1 h 30min to 5 h, it depends on the battery and phones. If you want test your battery, you have to download this app from here (or play store): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.tester&hl=it

charge your phone to 100% (the phone shows a notification when is full charged) drop the charger and start the test.

This is my score: 271 SUCKS!

And others image of the testing are below!

In my opinion i think that this is a nice method to watch what ROM/tweak/changes has the better battery drain.

Now i have the SangingerAce*SL2

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] g33g1s4noob:
sorry to disappoint you guys, but unfortunately it is a bad idea to drain out a li-ion battery too much on purpose! it's simply a myth and it's not helping at all! in fact the best way to preserve longevity and capacity is not to discharge under 40% and to recharge often.

if you drain a modern battery too often you will notice a significant declination in both attributes.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] panoc:
Hello. I've read many times that it's bad for a lithium battery be fully discharged. I think a good way is to let your phone close from low battery (without turning it back on to finish the battery off), let it full charge for about 3 hours, calibrate the battery (there is an app called Battery Calibrator that does that) or just wipe battery stats from recovery mode and then let the battery drain again before you fully charge it. That's just so the battery has a full "charge life". i don't know if it's a good idea to wipe battery stats while the battery is empty.

If it worked for you i have to reason to disagree, just saying my point of view :)

kernel

which kernel you use in your galaxy ace please let me know @ dipeshsave@gmail.com
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stevenkyk:
All these battery calibration only allows the detection to be sort of better, the battery life is still the same regardless. Perhaps battery extender kernel would help more. The battery level might drop rather quickly at first, but when it is below 20%, it actually gets sort of better. The last 20% often lasts for the longest. Lower brightness is often the best method to avoid battery drain, the screen is the real problem actually.:eek:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] bhumit22:
M using battery extender kernel
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
My tips :

1) Battery calibration is all bull****.

2) Do full wipes before flashing any rom & even wipe the battery stats.

3) After flashing the rom, finish-off all the flashing of scripts, etc, even before installing any app.

4) Charge only when it is absolutely necessary.

5) Disable data, gps, bluetooth, auto-sync, wi-fi, background data & set brightness to low.

Nov 2011: I guess SGT 7.0 Plus was released this month. I pre-ordered, and bought it before its official release date by Amazon. :)

Jan. 2012: Samsung announced Galaxy Tab 2!!!

Feb. 2012: Samsung released Galaxy Tab 7.7 & My SGT 7.0 Plus price dropped. I paid $400 for 16GB. Now you can buy $350 for 16GB or $380 for 32GB.

IT TOOK ONLY 3 MONTH to drop their price.

I TOTALLY agreed that gadgets price will be dropped soon after its released date. But, Not within 3 month.

So, what's next? Of course, Galaxy SIII, Tab 10.1" 2, 8.9" 2, Tab 7 Plus 2, Note 2 within this year? I guess so.
