After typing in *#0228# to checkbattery info and clicked quick start at the bottom of the screen my battery instantly dropped from low 30's to 12%. Worried me at first but after charging my battery seemed to have lasted longer than before (possibly just wishful thinking). Anybody else try this? Or can shed some light as to exactly what's happening?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Interesting, how did you come across the *#0228# code? I've seen it posted somewhere before asking what it was (was it you?) - I'll try it now myself and will post my findings :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] babyshanks:
Might have been me, no one really knew what was going on there other than they had drops as well. I found it while trying to look for the code to test the proximity sensor. Than I thought I'd try it out to check my battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
OK I've done it! 23:46 and battery is @ 96% - No immediate drop in percentage, but lets see what happens. It's idle on my desk at work currently.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] babyshanks:
I did it in the 90's as well and didn't have a change but that wasn't the same story when the battery got lower.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] erectim:
What is that thing even supposed to do?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
That is what we're trying to figure out! - Seems like a battery check (possibly calibration?)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Yup seems when you have a low % it drops the battery right down, however [MENTION=5512143]babyshanks[/MENTION] thinks maybe it the battery is better once it's done(?) I've done mine also, so we can post what happens in the next 24 hours or so

It's possible that carriers disable this option like they do with other service codes, or it's limited to the SM-N9005 model

I tried it and mine went from 57 to 51. I have the exynos version.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Since I first ran mine @ 23:46 my battery was 96% - a couple of text msgs later and now @ 02:20 my battery is sat at 86% - a definite drop compared to what it was... Also noticed Android OS is eating up the battery more than before, and I haven't changed anything except for running this... Will see how it develops through the night at work and charge it tomorrow and see if there is any noticeable difference or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] zadigre:
My battery was at 44... After the quick start, it dropped to 20. I did it again and dropped to 16. It's been there for 30 minutes now. I'm really wondering what this code is doing

[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
You entered it twice and it's sat @ 16% for 30mins? hmm that is interesting, I'm curious, maybe this is a stock battery calibration system of some kind after all... we'll see the benefit after we've charged it I guess.

but then again, maybe this is a cheeky trick to milk the battery quick for the engineers for some reason or another that they require it...

Yes its sitting at 16 even if I've been using my phone since I did it...

[Galaxy Note 3 General] iba21:
Well battery% couldn't be accurate since it's impossible to have a metrical logic of the battery energy

By monitorizing the voltage is possible to estimate how many energy there is in the battery.. but.. it could be not accurate

That's why the standard battery icon has a 10% gap for every battery step

[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Ok so update from me, got home from work and put my phone on charge (which was at 38%) at around 8:15 - took it off charge at 14:00 and it's now 18:26 - battery is at 85% with practically zero use. Except for the last ten - twenty minutes on xda app. -- so a definite major drain off the battery through using this code.. We need to find out what it actually does - I've grabbed a battery calibration app from the play store so will see if it fixes it or not. But for now my advice if you haven't entered this code. DO NOT DO IT
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lembo:
I was just about to try it myself. Thanks.

I think I'll leave it be. What's not broke... :)

[Galaxy Note 3 General] babyshanks:
Sorry to hear that, odd that I had such opposite effects, although it may be due to the different charge we pressed it at, 90's vs 30's. After a few days of use I'm ending the day with significantly higher percentage than before. Maybe my battery was just wonky in the first place. Hope it works itself out for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
I haven't "run" the battery calibrator. Used the device today after using xda app earlier and updating here and after about an hour or so I stuck it back on charge ready for work this evening. - couple of texts, bit of FB, phone call or two equates to about an hour of solid use. - Currently (time is now 02:35 ---after the 22:00ish unplug @ 100%) battery is sat at 88% which isn't too bad.

BUT.. I had noticed Android OS using a fair bit last couple of days and it seemed to be a KK launcher I was using, went back to TW and noticed Android OS wasn't eating up as much, so it's possible that this was the issue(?) - quite a few factors in my test of it anyway.

I still maintain the do NOT try it until we are 100% sure how it changes certain things though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Juan123:
Yesterday as I said in a previous post my battery jumped from 38 to 16%.

Then it got stuck at 16% for quite a long time.

Today after charging it to 100% last night it is now at 93% and 8.38 hours has passed with 48 mins of screen time.

Just sharing.

Thats weird. Dropped from 90% to 85%. I did it again and went to 86%. After doing nothing else it went to 87%. Very very weird.

It is a battery recalibration tool that Samsung use to diagnose battery faults if any and to correct them. You should see your batteries back to normal after 10 cycles or so.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Anyway, despite what everyone can say, the "quick start" option is VERY useful.

Let's say you have a battery of 2600 mAh capacity and a 2900 mAh one.

If you tap "quick start" when the 2600 mAh is at full charge and connected to the ac adapter, it will usually go down to 85% from 100% allowing another 15% of charge.

If you then use the higher capacity battery ancd charge it, it will be charged only as the small one! If you use again quickstart on the bigger battery, the gauge will be tuned again allowing more charge on the bigger battery.

Also, when I go back to the smaller battery, I usually do a quickstart when at 100% charge but with cable disconnected.

Be careful because if you do this too much on the same battery and at full charge, you risk to overcharge the battery, actually reducing its life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] firasusman:
this is to correct your battery level of charge ..

what you have in phone status bar is sometime fake Virtual battery level ..

every one need to run this tool and repeated till the have fixed number of charging level ..

you need to run this once in a month (at least)

this is very helpful to calibrate and re-correct the fake level we all have .

i used to do it twice in month and that is so useful.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Theodore41:
Strange message.

Hi.

I put the code number *#0228# and I've got a message Fuelgauge will be reset,causing battery capacity to be inaccurate.

Do NOT use it unless it is written in your test procedure.

What should I do?

Theodore.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Silberpfeil3110:
I don't understand why everyone here is so curious about this quick start option. No one ever noticed that every time you reboot your phone, the battery percentage drops around 5 to 10 percent? The reason is, that the battery gets fresh calibrated at boot and especially when the phone is booting it takes much power and therefore the battery voltage falls slightly, just to rise a little back after boot. So the battery calibration always has a little failure and that makes the drop. If you recharge your phone, the charger takes it up to 100% and then the charger discharges it to 95% and then back to 100% and so on. This procedure is done to keep the battery healthy and initates a fresh calibration of the voltage. If you make a precise measurement you will investigate that you can use your phone heavy and will stay longer on 100% than on any other percentage. That's pretty normal and the reason why I don't reboot my phone when it gets low, because otherwise it won't turn on anymore without recharging it. ^^

Pressing the button alone isnt enough. Here's a post that explains the full procedure. You can substitute the button press for the echo into the fuel guage file.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2398663

TL;DR

Press button, drain to 5-10% (NOT 0%!!), charge to 100% without using, battery will be recalibrated.

This utility is a custom testing app in the Samsung rom and likely doesnt exist in CM.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JJEgan:

[Galaxy Note 3 General] grumpycoder100:
This code functions the same as how your phone's batterystats.bin file would be deleted and regenerated again when your battery charge reaches 100%. Just let it go through a couple of charge discharge cycles for it to settle down again.

As above .

Battery calibrates itself you cannot .

I have an i777 (att version) I've also posted this in that forum, but I though more could help me here.

So last week my headphones got yanked out and then the jack stopped working entirely. I had previously replacement the vibrator which has the headphone jack attached to it, so I just ordered another and replaced it.

The new one still didn't work so I assumed it was software related. I completely wiped the phone and flashed it with task's AOKP rom. Even after all that still not working.

Does this mean it is some other hardware issue, maybe on the main board?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] amcgavin:
If it doesn't work after a fresh flash, then it's safe to assume a hardware issue. Maybe the new jack isn't connected properly? Or when it broke, it pulled out some other connections to the main board.

Try to open it up and see if the connections to the new jack are okay.

I agree that from the information you provided, it sounds like a hardware issue. The normal troubleshooting recommendation would be to flash back to stock to see if that corrects the problem.

However, if there is still no connection after a flash to stock, and you don't want to deal with the hardware issue yourself but still want to keep the phone, you might try Mobile Tech Videos to repair it.

Hi !

I'am interested in optimizing battery usage/life on my Note 3.

I want to know what functions is free to switch off or reconfigure to decrese battery usage :)

But I dont want to cut phone functonality too much...

I'am not interested to tips like:

- switch Wi-Fi OFF

- switch Bluetooth OFF

- switch GPS OFF

- disable synchronization

- disable background data

- disable S Beam, NFC, Air Gesture, Air View, Smart Stay

- disable vibrations

- switch phone OFF when not using

- turn Power Save mode ON

- turn Airplane Mode ON

- lower down CPU/GPU frequency

Because they make phone much less usable and fun because it's many nice and amazing functions wont work...

I've already applied following tips:

- disable Google Now

- disable raporting GPS position

- disable location history

- turn screen brightness to AUTO

- remove unused/unneccecary widgets (especially this with auto update/sync)

- turn off autostart of unnececary apps (with All-In-One Toolbox)

- turn off "notifications from server" in "Samsung Apps" settings

Because i know that following tips are working and have positive impact on battery life (about 20% more power in my case) :)

I can't root phone (MJ7 firmware...) so I cant use Greenify to make more battery life...

If somone know some more configs/tips/apps that can be applied to increase battery life I will be very interested :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
This I believe is a myth, if anything AUTO uses more battery IMO. I set my brightness at around 40% or so and I get 30 hours (with 3-4Hours screen time) or so average out of my battery, Only other thing I disable is GPS.

It's more about how/what you actually use on your phone rather than what you can disable and not use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedtime:
I think you're looking for a reduction in "idle" battery drain as in use battery drain is kinda unavoidable.

There are tools like "Tasker" you can use to automate all the radios

you can use "app ops" to stop all the apps that push your location (this will do the most)

"autostart manager" allows you to stop apps from running all the time.
