When I enter to check level *#0228# and I hit QUICK START my battery drop from 46% to 14 %, and after reboot the phone my battery have again 46%.
That means battery is bad?... is original when I buy the phone and have over 1 year old.
Also i charged when the procent is under 4-5%.Is this good?

I went from 35% to 8% and it stayed at 8% after a reboot.

My battery is fairly old and doesn't hold a charge very well. I'm assuming it was mis-calibrated, as it can take ages to charge to 50% but from 50 - 100 is lightning fast (about 10mins.)

It must be some calibration thing to remove 30% of battery in a split second.

Till Gb this code and the quick start was accurate with just a small change on the % of the battery like a "calibration" but after ics this code with the quick start gives innacurate readings with less battety blocks. If I remember right gb had 24 blocks now only 7. On gb if you wanted a better reading of the battery a quick start would give it. Now no chance.
That's all.

Well so this means android somewhere with new edition is also deteriorating.

For me there is no room left for improvement in android after ics.

Wait... Did I just screw up my battery by using this code and clicking Quick Start? My battery was fine... Properly calibrated until I messed around with the code. :(

So...
Is it safe to use this code to calibrate my battery?
It's better to use Battery Calibration App in Playstore?

Thanks in advance

Battery Calibration apps in PlayStore works only on small capacity batteries up to 4xxxMaH not for bigger one. My N8000 is supposed to be 7000MaH messed up into 4360MaH. I wonder if the problem came from Battery Calibrator or After I flash GNABO v8? :confused:

I found out that the capacity reported by android is 2100MaH from AIDA64 & Du Battery Saver. While Battery Calibration that the current charge is 86% 3955mV.

How confusing? :confused:
