Does it makes any difference if I'm alternating two batteries on my phone? (two samsung original GT-9100 batteries, one two months old and another brand new. In a laptop, if I'm not wrong, there's a chip inside the battery to measure its stats, I don''t think that my phone battery something like that, does it have? If the batteries are both of the same capacity and relatively new I don't need to calibrate with both batteries, right?

I have a question...

I bought a mugen extended battery 4800mah for my atrix...

My phone will show 5% at 3800mV after 24 hours of use, then it will stay at 5% for the next 24 hours of use(48 hours total).

Now I fully charged my phone and used this calibration app for the first time, and it still shows 5% at 3800mV. So do I leave it on running till my phone turns off tomorrow and when I recharge it the next cycle will show the correct %?

Is there a way to manually set battery %?

Like....

4200mV = 100%
4100mV = 90%
4000mV = 80%
3900mV = 70%
3800mV = 60%
3700mV = 50%
3600mV = 40%
3500mV = 30%
3400mV = 20%
3300mV = 10%
3200mV = shut off?

Default Help! Phone will not charge or turn on!!!

Hi. I have an HTC Sensation. I used this program to calibrate after I got to 100% charge. I then unplugged the phone then ran the power out over the next several hours. Around 0% the phone died. Now when I hook it to a charger I get nothing... no lights, no charging, nothing. I've tried different chargers... nothing there either. If I take out the battery, then put it back in, then I get an orange LED light for about 5 seconds, then nothing....

Please help. Thanks

This is not a good sign. I've seen another similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post15985764 in which a guy with a galaxy s2 is having the same problem. Run out of battery and then the phone is dead. I don't think this is related to the calibration app. I would try to do two more things before going to a service centre:

- Try charging the battery with a battery charger, without the phone, or alternatively try another battery which has charge. This because It is possible that either your phone is not charging your battery for some reason, or your battery has died, not your phone.

- Try to put the phone in download mode with a USB jig. If it works, it means your phone is not dead.

Good luck

In the next version (promise it will come ) i will put a profiler mode in my app, so you can have 2 profiles. Like: "Stock battery", "Extended battery"
And when you switch the batteries you can switch the profiler too and it will put back the othere batterie's batterystats.bin file.
Now I think (cause you have 2 same batteries) you don't have to calibrate after every change.

It it working with the original battery? (the percentage meter)
Calibrate the mugen battery like this:
Try to charge the phone fully: the best way is to download CurrentWidget.
If it's shows 0mA, your phone is full. Calibrate, unplug, discharge it(till shuts down), charge it without brake.
Mugen contacted me about this problem, because 4800mAh is a big step forward from 1500mAh and the phone can't recognise the extra juice, but they said that after using my app it worked for them too.

Not original battry... the mugen power 4800mah battery

I charged it to 4200mV... did calibration... discharged my battery till shut off... then recharged it to 4200mV

Now... my battery says 4040mV and my phone reads 70%... I'm guessing once it hits 3800mV it will show 5% like it did before

So the calibration didnt work.... I hope you will be able to make a verion that lets us manually set percentages at certain mV readings. This way we have control instead of erroneous readings.

The problem is that the batterystats.bin file is not that easy. I downloaded the source code of android, to check what does this file do exactly. But now all I know is that is not that simple. Try to calibrate it while you're watching current widget too till ypu got 0mA charging current.

thanks for the app, it makes things much easier.

i'm just wondering if it will help with this problem: when my phone charges, the green led comes on at 90%, then the number jumps straight to 100%. i've calibrated once with the hope that it would fix this, but it didn't change anything.

i've attaached a pic of the battery graph. it's a bit hard to see, but the graph starts to flatten out as it approaches 90, then it's a straight line up to 100

any ideas?

Do you have perma root and CMW? IT will not charge your battery when your phone is off.s
