[Samsung Captivate Glide] jacobym1:
I currently have the CM10.1-M3 build from 4/17/13 installed.

For a long while, I have been having major issues charging my Captivate Glide.

My original battery died. It was bloated. I called AT+T and they sent me a replacement. I also bought two high capacity batteries.

If I leave the phone charging about half the time little or no progress is made charging. Lat night I charged the phone for over 8 hours and the charge went from 10% to 14%.

Other times I will wake up after charging it all night and it will say fully charged, but then the instant it is unplugged from the charger, it will drop down from 100% to 20% or less.

Then once every 3 or 4 days it will actually fully charge. But even in that case the charging is slow at best.

I did a full wipe and re-flashed last night and nothing changed. I have tried charging in airplane mode, but that seems to make it worse. I have had a little tiny bit of success turning mobile data off, but otherwise I have tried everything I could think of with no luck.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues, or have any suggestions? Is this a case where I might need to replace the phone entirely?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
I did notice a lot longer charge time when hooked up to USB on computer, on my car charger and hooked up to AC I seem to get a lot quicker charge...

What charger are you using?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jacobym1:
I have tried a few different chargers. I mostly use a 2.1amp wall charger. I also have a 1 amp wall charger, and a 1 amp car charger. I have tried about 3 different car chargers.

I am really suspicious that the micro-usb port on the phone went bad and that I will need to get the phone replaced.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
Charging with AC is gonna be alot faster then with DC. But as far as it being the rom I don't see tthat.. sounds like possibly a loose wire or bad connection when u lay ur phone down
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
phatryan has a point, do a nandroid backup, flash to stock and see if the charging makes a difference..

Charging

Hello,

When I charge my Captivate Glide with phone powered up plugged in to the wall, using the supplied wall charger, I've noticed that the battery seems to drain quicker. This is with the original battery, I will be getting an extended battery for my phone. If I power the phone down then charge it in to the wall it charges quickly and seems to take longer draining. This does not happen when charging with the PC.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] epsalmond:
Bloated battery could just be bad - but it could also be due to overcharging. That's not going to happen unless there is a serious problem with your phone, or possibly a problem with the contacts leading to an incorrect voltage reading. This also may explain your problems charging and sudden jumps in charge %.

Clean your contacts well on the battery side and phone side with a pencil eraser, rubbing alcohol, etc.

I notice a big difference with whatever kernel is shipping with the current M3 cm10.1 build between a 500ma charger and 2amp charger, so I imagine the kernel is set for a 750ma or 1amp charge.

Cool app. Have you considers adding a time option?

E.g. 12/05/2013 15:45

Also a little thing I noticed is that when you edit an entry and just change the icon it does not recognise the change. I had to toggle the date to make the OK Burton active.

Also maybe in a future version, add option to select from a wider choice of icons or a custom icon of the users choice would be nice IMHO. :thumbup::thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] Dennis.Z:
Thank you!

A time option may be added in the future. Custom icon too.

Hello,

If I have inferred correctly, you have got no issues with the RUU, have you?

If so, then you could be sure that it is something either a ROM issue or the kernel's.

Ever since I did upgrade to WM2003 on xda1 I cannot use Twinmos mmc cards which worked before, also I have other sd cards that refuse to work or have weird problems when using certain programs that work ok with other memory cards, all of these cards work with xda2 or ipaq. Does this mean that the drivers have been altered to support less media types in WM2003 for some reason.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
So I was just wondering about these new supposed camera improvements in the maintenance update. I definitely see better low light shots (they bright up on screen once the camera sees that it is low-light), but I think my normal shots are less saturated as well, and less red.

Unfortunately, I don't have any way to really compare any shots, so it could just be a placebo effect. Anyone want to share some thoughts on this?

Thanks!
[One (M7) General] BillTheCat:
We all know that the One (and many other modern cellphones) have a Lithium Ion battery. While these batteries have no traditional 'memory effect' the way NiMH did, it seems that different chemistries for the electrolyte would suggest different strategies for recharging.

For example, after looking at the Wikipedia entry for Lithium batteries, it would seem that we should be mindful about 'topping off' the battery, because charging deteriorates the lifespan, implying that running down the battery might be a more advisable practice than plugging in to fully charge every night.

Wondering if any of you experts out there can comment and discuss, given that we One users no longer have replacable cells.
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Good question, I too would be very interested in hearing from some of the posters that are knowledgeable in this area.
[One (M7) General] Vincent Law:
This is pretty well established knowledge right now. I'll list everything pertinent about lithium ion batteries and charging smartphones:

Edit: Note that I mention Lithium Ion in this post, but the HTC One uses Lithium Polymer. They are for all intents and purposes equal in terms of their usability, except for slightly less charge cycles

Edit 2: Hello Reddit! No idea this would have taken off. I'm "coolmatty" on reddit. This is an overall generalization, and there are plenty of resources that go into more detail. Places like Battery University are great sites to start.

1. Charging is what reduces the life of a lithium ion battery. Batteries are usually rated between 700-1000 charge cycles while keeping 90% of their capacity.

2. Charging 0-100% counts as one cycle. Charging 80-100% 5 times counts as one cycle.

3. Leaving your phone on the charger after it is charged has the potential to reduce battery life, although this is less of a problem with newer devices as they often disconnect the charging circuit until the battery drops below ~95%. Generally only an issue if you leave it on the charger for 24+ hours.

4. Lithium ion batteries do not require any conditioning.

5. Most lithium ion devices arrive with ~40-50% battery life remaining, because this is the optimal charge level to store a lithium battery for long periods (such as sitting on a store shelf for months).

6. Slower charging maintains the battery's overall lifetime capacity better than fast charging. This is likely why the HTC One does not have Qualcomm's Quick Charge enabled. It's debateable whether you'd notice the effects over the typical lifetime of a smartphone, however (2 years).

7. Not exactly related to lithium but just in general: smartphones (and tablets, etc) have charging circuits that only draw a certain amount of amps regardless of the number of amps the charger provides. Using a 3.1 amp (tablet-level) charger is not going to significantly increase the speed at which your phone charges. Most phones only use between 0.8 - 1.2 amps. Anything over that is overkill.

8. Storing a lithium ion battery at 0% is really bad for its lifetime capacity. Running it to 0% generally isn't recommended all the time, but a few instances won't hurt it.

9. Recharging from 0-100 doesn't make your battery run longer. It can, however, reset Android's battery level stats so that it can more accurately state the battery level.

10. Charging from ~95% to 100% takes a long time because it must do a trickle charge. Maxing out the battery like this can reduce overall lifetime capacity, but generally not enough to matter. You'll see this impact more often in larger applications of lithium batteries (like cars).
[One (M7) General] Kinobe:
You have no idea how many people need this post (on some points, myself included). Thanks.
[One (M7) General] jasahu:
It does not seem to be that uniform, according to this:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

From what I understood from the link above in Table 2, you can get the best longevity by charging from 50% (2nd row).
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
But is it practical to charge it at 50% every time?
[One (M7) General] Miketoberfest:
Doesn't the one infact have a Li-Po battery ? Would these points still apply ?
[One (M7) General] jasahu:
What is a practical approach for me now, after reading this all, is to charge it every night.

This way

- I have better chances for not running out of battery during the day

- either it was at 75% (3rd row) or 50% (2nd row) I still have better longevity than charging from 0% most of the time.
[One (M7) General] thesellerfrank:
Battery life will not degrade as long as you donot empty its charge for long time and donot use it while on charge... over heat on battery aged the battery...
[One (M7) General] mang0:
Just wanted to add: li-ion and li-po batteries now-a-days have protection circuitry to prevent overcharge and over-discharge. Overcharge protection based on what is stated above, known as trickle charge. Over-discharge protection means that your phone will shut off when your battery is around 3v per cell, whereas you should refrain from force starting the phone. The only benefit you get from fully charging/discharging is battery calibration for cell mismatches. It is also good to know that partial charges are better than full charges when it comes to lithium ion (and lithium polymer) batteries.
[One (M7) General] Terminator19:
The HTC one uses li-poly, not li-ion

Can read all about the advantages and disadvantages of each other here:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/is_lithium_ion_the_ideal_battery

li-poly

As far as I am concerned, li-poly is overall better for phones where you can't change the battery.

by the looks of that article it was done quite a while ago (for the tech. world) so the disadvantages might not be as much of a problem these days.....
[One (M7) General] Vincent Law:
I was using a simplification. It would be better not to let it go to 0, but most charge cycles are rated on this. I do mention the impact of letting the battery go to 0%.

A flub on my part, you are correct. There are minor differences (the only one that matters to us is slightly shorter lifetime capacity) but otherwise it works the same.
[One (M7) General] Bartcore3:
Now that i see a battery 'expert', a quick question.

Back in the dack, if you bought anything with batteries, you would have to charge them for 24h, no matter how much charged they were. But if i were to buy a phone today (Lith-Ion), Do i still have to do that?

I think not, but i'm not quite sure. Lots of people (even smartphone sellers) still recommend charging it 24h, wich i think is bull.
[One (M7) General] hegartyp:
I think that was only for the old Ni-MH batteries as they had to be bedded in as such. The newer ones dont need this
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Thanks Vincent. Great post will certainly bear it all in mind when charging my phone.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I'm not sure everyone noticed one of the things he said. I know from my HD2 and Ruby that HTC phones will not continue charging after hitting 100%. The phone will indicate %100, but shortly after you disconnect the charger and start using the phone the indicated power level will drop to what it actually is - and it will be lower depending upon how long it has been sitting at "100%". Their phones have a protection circuit that kicks in. So if you really want 100% in the morning, power the phone down to charge it.
[One (M7) General] Vincent Law:
As I mentioned in my first post, Lithium batteries do not require conditioning. The purpose for this on old Ni-Cad batteries was to avoid the memory effect, which could result in a battery appearing to be dead long before it actually was. For instance, if you always charged it from 60%, after many instances of this, the Ni-Cad battery would suffer a voltage drop at that point, which most electronics can't handle (some can, however, and once past the short period of low voltage, they will recover and continue normally).

Charging for 24 hours is most certainly not relevant, as once the battery reaches 100%, charging has ceased anyway. There's no need to charge it to 100% anyway, other than to give you more time to play with your new toy :p

You'll see this in most devices nowadays. It's especially noticeable on laptops, which typically won't lie to you about the charge. It depends on the models, but I know Macbooks for instance will happily sit at 95% charge as "fully charged". This is by design and other than turning off the device, you shouldn't try to "top it off". Any other method (such as unplugging and plugging it back in) hurts the overall lifetime of the battery.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
Most of the modern laptops allow you to turn on or off the battery saving feature. For those who use the laptop while plugged in most of the time, it will stop charging at 80%. For those who will be using it off the plug, the option is there to get it to 100%.

I often see posts from people (in various forums) asking why their laptop will only charge to 80%...
[One (M7) General] Vincent Law:
I've never heard of this, and I don't recall seeing it on any Windows or Mac laptop I've used recently. Sounds like some proprietary crap one of the manufacturers came up with. Stopping the charge at 80% doesn't make much sense, since you'll still have the issue of constantly recharging the battery (as soon as it drops below 80%).

Edit: I will say that it is marginally better than keeping it at 100%, but that said, there's steps you can take on your own that are much better.

The ideal way to use a laptop that will be plugged in for most of its lifetime is to discharge it to about 45%, and then remove the battery entirely. At that point, the battery can maintain its capacity for months without major issue. Just make sure to recharge it once every 3 months or so, as the battery will discharge (slowly) even while unplugged, but at a far slower rate than it would be inside the laptop.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
The latest research from the Auto manufacturers is that Li-Ion technology works longest if the battery level is between 50 and 80%.

My Toshiba U925 ultra portable uses the optional 80% max. If you use the laptop almost exclusively while plugged in, it will help provide battery longevity, or so I understand.

Many laptops won't work unless the battery is in place. It depends on how they built the power circuits.
[One (M7) General] lampel:
My two cents: My Lenovo has a battery saving feature for those of us who are always plugged in - it stops charging at 50% and I don't think it begins charging again unless it drops below 40% but the percents are customizable. Machine is also an ultra portable and the battery isn't considered removable. I imagine anyone on this forum would be quite able to replace it themselves but it's not considered removable in the normal sense.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
My U925 is also a fixed battery design, but as I noted it stops at 80% when the "battery saver" feature is enabled.
[One (M7) General] sluflyer06:
Is anyone aware of any published lifespan for the battery? As in how many charge/dischrage cycles to 80% capacity.

I don't agree as I read earlier in this thread to simply assume around a thousand, I've seen as low as 400 for the LiPo in the Iphone4 to 1,000 in the newer Ipads.
[One (M7) General] NxNW:

[One (M7) General] sluflyer06:
If you look past my first sentence I do define lifespan as how many charge/discharge cycles to 80% capacity. :)

Edit: Looks like you ninja edited your post. Oh well. This post can be ignored.
[One (M7) General] NxNW:
Yeah I was realizing you covered that just as you were replying to my reply lol
[One (M7) General] rkial:
My iphone 4 has a li-ion battery.

500 + charge cycles and its capacity is still over 90% (1294/1420 mah). That reading does go up and down occasionally... but its around the 91-92% at the moment.

Not too bad.

I think HTC have controlled the charging speed to extend the battery life further.

It should see you through 2+ years easily..
[One (M7) General] sluflyer06:
I'd like to assume that HTC did a good job on a battery, although part of me thinks that if they choose one with a high cycle count they would have advertised that to put any fears to rest in a phone with a permanent battery.

It'd just be nice to know how long HTC claims its good for.

I spoke with HTC yesterday, this is what they said regarding battery life expectancy.

Hi Guys

Im on XXEMC2 412 Stock, not rooted

Only had my S3 (I9300) for 2 weeks now and its been working great, so decided to have a go at exploring the phones deeper features, but when using the camera its started locking up, even saying "Camera has Locked Up/Crashed". usually when boot Camera from Home Screen, Booting from Lock screen seems to be ok, also when I use "back" button or view a photo, sometimes the screen goes black and the homescreen is stretched and odd display. Ive tried Rebooting, but doesnt help but everything else is fine.

I did a search on XDA, and found plenty people with the camera issue, but no solution as of yet and it seems to be mainly the T-Mobile USA Variant that does this, had anyone got any advice pls or is this the start of the Sudden Death issue and should i return the S3

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Ok, I tried Cartoon Camera, Multi-Lens Camera, Zoom Camera, Camera MX and Camera Effects.. all worked great. I did have lockups on these apps when I used them for the first time, but after that.. they worked great, so.. question..

Could my Lockups and Crashes be due to the fact that I was playing around with "burst shot", "Best Shot" changing white balance and metreing for the first time and the S3 was initialising the camera driver?.

I have 2 weeks left before the 28 days runs out, so ill use the camera and push the phone to its limits constantly.. is there anything I should particularly test for or try with the camera and the phone itself to make sure my S3 isnt dying?
