[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hakired:
From what I've heard the kitkat from note 3 doesn't have the ability to change app runtime to Art.

Does anyone know why not?

Will it be incorporated In the future?

AOSP roms for note 3 have ART runtime but I kinda miss the specific note 3 features like spen screen resize and 4k camera
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
ART is technically in beta, So Google will/can test it on their own devices and not worry. Samsung/LG/HTC etc won't implement into their software/skinned Android because of the beta stage. Once it's finalised then we will probably see it.

I read that a battery will last longer if you don't let it get below 40%, and full discharges are bad for the longevity. Is this true? Here is a good read on the subject. http://batteryuniversity.com/index.php/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
that is true. the affect is probably minimal though(like we probably lose .7% of our battery per month if dont let it get low before charging it, instead of the typical 1% per month)

i get through half of my day with about 50% battery less, sometimes more. so i've made it a habit of charging it once i see it's around this 50% mark.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
The effect is accelerated/more pronounced below 20%...

Here is the good thing though... These phone's minimum operating voltage is higher than the minimum voltage of a Li ION battery. Using standard battery life measurements, the 0% according to the phone, is about 20% of standard.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jspeer:
Should you do a full discharge every now and then in order to calibrate the battery? I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on this in other related threads. Some say you should, some say it's not necessary since the battery doesn't have memory cells. I have never let my battery get below 50% and everything seems to work fine but it does seem to make sense to do a full discharge from time to time so the battery knows its capacity.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Li-ON battery's do not need to be calibrated. that was only with old battery tech such as Ni-Cad or NIMH
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
I let mine get low all the time I use my phone a lot. Hopefully its not to expensive to replace battery since Google thinks that replacing a battery is to complicated for us tech savvy people

I don't worry about it. I charge it overnight. If I've over used it in the day and I feel it will die before bed, i'll top it up but not to protect the battery. Just to ensure I can use my phone.

If they wanted you to do anything special with charging / draining, it would be in the instructions

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainMotorsports:
The battery itself does not but occasionally the controller needs a kick in the pants. Deep drains on li-ion should be avoided at all costs. The phone hasn't been out long enough to even think about the sort of problem. But after a couple hundred charges you might see a behavior that will be corrected by one full discharge.

Its not uncommon to see cases where you actually replace the cell behind a controller and the controller not picking up the change in capacity. Never in cell phones mostly laptop battery rebuilds etc but it exhibits an idea of what happens. The battery controller takes note of the original, current maximum and current charge capacity. Not sure how I suppose voltage versus read amp hours. But as a battery gets old you might start seeing the maximum capacity reading fluctuate. But if at any time the actual chemical capacity is higher than the controller thinks it is the controller will prevent the battery from reaching its potential.

Used to have older PSP batteries reach 100% real quick, quick fix was to deep discharge through the controller using a small light bulb. The battery would then take a significant charge and last a few more months before kicking the bucket.

40% is a good number for storage, its actually better to store it at 40% than 100%. Actual use 20 to 25% is my personal range but I would say just never let it get below 15%. Lithium Ion does not mind being topped off. Deep discharged will ruin it real quick. My laptop battery lasted 3 years never letting it go below 25%, murdered a cell phone battery once a year letting it die.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmx:
I let it go to 1% and turn itself off. Then I charge it back up. But if I know I am going out in the next few hours I charge it as much as I can before I leave.

lots of the fuel gauges for these types of batteries do need to be calibrated. this is not true for the N5 though(i think). I want to say i remember reading that this fuel gauge is different, like a 'smart fuel gauge' or something
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Molitro:
You shouldn't do that almost ever. And by no means as a regular practice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Thats what the built in protection is for:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Its not any different. as with older battery technologies they would loose capacity until they are calibrated 0% to 100% this is due to the chemistry of the battery

LI-ON battery's have a different chemistry which allows them to store greater capacity without loss like NI-CAD and NIMH did this is why you turn off your phone for a week and turn it on you find it still has about the same battery percentage as you turned it off before.

here's an example of a NI-CAD battery which needs to be calibrated.

You have a drill you haven't used for 3 days it was fully charged before you put it away if you take that same drill 3 days later you'd find it dead. where as LI-ON battery's would still be alive and full capacity. if you charge it from there it wouldn't be calibrated. as calibration requires you to drain the battery 2 times or more till it reaches it full capacity and charge it back up to 100% and repeat.

If you were to do that with a LI-ON battery you're basically doing nothing but wasting your charge cycles on the battery and you could kill it as LI-ON battery's DO NOT LIKE TO BE EMPTY

Because of all that NI-CAD and NIMH mess mostly all power tools you'd find in a shop such as home depot are now equipped with LI-ON battery's as they don't require calibration and can be left for months and it would still have its initial capacity prior to charging because Ni-cad battery's suffer from a memory effect and LI-ON does not, NI-CAD Requires full discharge before recharge LI-ON does not you get the point here right? LI-ON is better!

Now for those apps that claim calibrate the battery they do nothing they just Improve the reading of the software in android to get the battery percentage which is reset every time the battery charges to 100% so in short don't calibrate your battery

You can read more here http://www.diffen.com/difference/Li-ion_vs_NiCad

and watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcbcm11830
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainMotorsports:
The battery controller is still the source of the problem. If the batteries chemical capacity at a given moment is 1800 mah down from its original 2300 and the charge controller thinks the capacity is 500 the controller will only charge the battery to 500. Most controllers do not act like their dumber counter parts which will trickle or cut off when the cells characteristics indicate it is reaching a full charge.

The controller in these batteries while varying greatly in design all have one thing in common. They are designed for safety. The controller will actually stop accepting a charge forever if the voltage of the cell goes below a certain point. It will also never charge it above the current observed maximum capacity no matter what reality is.

You can poll a battery using vendor specific commands to get the designed, current maximum and current charge. The current maximum charge capacity is a changing value it will change over the life of the battery. This was an aging laptop battery that while the controller knew what the "Full Charge Capacity" was currently it decided not to report that to windows resulting in a hilarious 410%.

But we are talking about a problem that really won't rear its head for 1 or 2 years and were talking about doing it once or twice over the life of the battery. People doing it now and all the time WILL kill the battery very quickly for no benefit.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Once in a while isn't explicit. The video posted earlier says once a year or so... both of those are "a while" to me

It all depends on the controller and the software but mostly its no longer necessary.

Thanks for the recommendation.:angel:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Molitro:
Fair enough.

But still doens't seem like a good practice given how the recommendations with this kind of tecnology are usually don't go too low and try to charge at different values, not always plug the charger at the same level.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
Li Ion batteries charge to a maximum voltage before the charge stops in a phone or other device that charges while also operating.

To fully charge a Li Ion battery you need to monitor current draw of the battery as it is charging, it drops as the cell reaches saturation. This is difficult to do in an operating circuit... Though the tech may be getting better, as load sharing was not common for charging cell phones a few years ago, but it may now be, I have actually been looking for info on powered device charging, but find little beyond load sharing type.

So the battery in a phone could hold more juice if it was charged out of the device, and more still if the phones could run at the 3v minimum of Li Ion. (min voltage of arm devices is around 3.5v) Load sharing chargers can charge fully though.

Also charge rate affects battery life... slower charging is better for long lifespan. If you overnight charge, use the lowest rated charger you have, or standard USB charging. The current phones come with higher amp chargers now... It really doesn't speed up the overall charge cycle to 100% very much, but it does make charging to 80% quicker. So you can do a quick charge of a low battery to a usable level in a hurry.

Power tools use LiFe chemistry batteries which are more tolerant of abuse and misuse... at the cost of less voltage and capacity and more weight.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I work from home so it's easy for me to top off the phone as needed. I'll usually throw it on the charger for a while around 3-ish PM to make sure that I have a full charge going into the evening since I do a lot of reading on it after the kids are in bed. I'm definitely what you would call an opportunistic charger - there's no need to drain the battery all the way unless you absolutely can't get to a charger. I don't understand why people choose to run their batteries down all the way when they don't have to.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00445:
Hi, quick question. I read that with Note 3, because all the stock ROMs are knox-enabled, I can upgrade by flashing via Odin (even if I have Knox tripped).

So this:

doesn't apply because there aren't knox-disabled firmwares.

What about if I downgrade using Odin? By flashing an older firmware? If I'm not on the newer bootloaders I can, right? But will Knox be tripped?

I also read that if you try to flash a non-Knox firmware onto a Knox phone you'll be bricked. I can't remember which thread/what circumstances, so hoping someone can shed some light on that.

Lastly, if I'm on unrooted stock firmware, can I use URDLV to "patch" the newest firmware, then flash it to get the rooted latest firmware WITHOUT the newer bootloader and WITHOUT tripping knox? So I can choose to downgrade should the new firmware has any problems.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Situation on trip the Knox or not: (No idea on downgrade as I never try, I think it won't under same bootloader version)

Flash any stock ROM including Kitkat officially or not with odin without rooting - won't trip knox.

Officially phone came with MJ1 or older - root with URDLV won't trip knox.

Officially phone came with MJ7 or later - root with any method will trip knox.

Officially phone came with MJ1 but later updates to MJ7 with OTA/KIES/PC Odin and later - root with any method will trip knox.

Officially at MJ1 and rooted and update to any firmware excluding KitKat ROM using Mobile Odin Pro only - root will remain and won't trip the knox.

Install any custom recovery and custom kernel will trip the knox.

Update KitKat via Mobile Odin Pro (MOP) without trip the Knox:

Your current bootloader is not newer than MJ1.

Load Official Poland ROM in MOP

Enable EverRoot, Choose option "Download mode" in after flashing. Start flashing.

After booted into Download Mode, connect your phone to your computer and run PC Odin 3.09.

Load this bootloader http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49425513&postcount=352 in the BL section

Check Phone Bootloader Update and F.Reset.time, un-check Auto Reboot and Start Flashing.

When Odin says RESET!, switch off your phone and reboot normally.
