[Q] Battery issue

[vicky_ag]

I plugged in my to charge my phone at near 25%. I let it charge till 100 and used the battery recalibrate tool. Once I removed the charger the meter went down to 49% ....lost 51% just like that.

Guys please help.

I seem to say this a lot, but we need more information. What ROM you're on, how old your battery is, what kernel you're using, is it a stock or OEM battery, is it an eBay battery of questionable quality, are you using any battery mods, what voltage settings it showed when you reached 100% charge on the charger, are using the stock charging cable with wall charger or a 3rd-party USB cable or charging from a computer or PS3 usb slot, etc etc etc...

With what information we have so far, try bump charging.

I on phillipe97's Juwe's port with bullet kernel. The phone was bought in March 2011, never changed. No battey mods. Not sure of the voltage it showed when it reached 100% Stock wall charger


What is bump charging?

That's really strange. Are you running a gingerbread rom? I know gb roms have a problem with the battery draining after charging to full even with it still plugged in.

Bump charging is charging your phone to 100% with it on, then turning the phone off and charging it again to 100%, then turning it back on and doing the same until it stays full when you unplug it.

Darn it, LazyB! You're too kind! I deliberately didn't explain bump charging because I knew the OP would be too lazy to do a simple Google search, so when he came back to the thread with some badly worded and not particularly useful response that contained, "What is bump charging?" I could say "OMFG Google it you twit!" and then link him to something like

or maybe

But no! You had to be all nice and altruistic and ruin all my fun!

Haha sorry I must admit I've been jumping on the noob threads being overly nice to try to help to get my post count up to 100. I'm only about 10 away. I'm a firm believer in researching and reading, reading, and more reading. I lurked on here for months before posting anything. The info is just so readily available for anyone willing to do a simple search. Sorry to steal your thunder there though.

So, after I get it to stay 100% when I unplug it will I have to keep doing this everytime I charge my phone or will the problem be solved?
